Lions have four feet headed straight forward; you will never see them walking sideways (sidestepping). They are courageous, fierce in battle, yet they often lay down to sleep.

Why do I say this?

You are like the mighty lion!

Every day when you leave your home, it takes courage to face your day. When you get in your car and drive, it takes courage to trust that you will survive. In prayer, you often pray with fierce courage–a battle you fight–yet you think nothing of it. The courage is built inside of you, it’s just part of who you are–you are made that way.

But, there are others . . .

They are afraid to leave their home; afraid to touch another, timid even to look forward, let alone walk purposefully in stride. Behind a facade they do hide. A world they have built that’s not even real, for its foundation is lies–the precepts of the enemy to hold them there; in this state of constant fear.

Think of that, when you walk effortlessly out your door–and PRAY.

Be thankful for the courage I’ve placed within you and PRAY!

Fight that fierce battle for another–lost today; imprisoned in their own home; imprisoned in their own mind. Their freedom–the key that opens the door, breaks binding chains–clears the mind, begins with you!

You are courageous!

Fight fiercely–boldly PRAY!

Pray, then take sleep; knowing that you’ve engaged in warfare for another, many others. You don’t even know their names, but on their behalf you’ve engaged Me–enlisted myriads of angels to war for them . . .

Think of that and sleep peacefully, knowing that you were courageous–

You prayed!

“The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.” Proverbs 28:1

“Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you also are in the body.” Hebrews 13:3

“–encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all. Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” I Thessalonians 5:14-18

Two new books available to help you in these challenging times . . .

“Comfort in the Challenge.” Published in 2019, and written in dedication to caregivers. A book inspired by God, in provision, before awareness of Covid 19. Read it to be comforted, and encouraged. All messages are spoken from the Heart of God as fresh bread. All proceeds from “Comfort in the Challenge” go directly to Canaanland Ministries of Autaugaville, Alabama. Canaanland has a wonderfully successful 40 year history, dedicated to helping men desiring to overcome addiction and find new life in Jesus!

“His Voice in My Heart,” published in 2020. A journey of messages God has spoken over the past seven years to bring healing and restoration to the wounded soul. In sorting messages for “Comfort in the Challenge,” ‘prisoners’ welled up in my heart so strongly, that I began to sort messages for this special assignment as well. “His Voice in My Heart” is filled with His messages to comfort, challenge and bring restoration; along with several inspiring true testimonies of God’s healing and provision. “His Voice in My Heart” is a special book in your journey to freedom!

The messages are spoken from the heart of God, but are not meant to replace the Word; rather, they serve to lead you to it; to give practical application and encourage understanding of the Word. It is the Word of God that saves, heals and delivers–Jesus, is the Word. Included in both books you will find many scriptures for your study in the Word.

Both books may be ordered from, Nation of Women Publishing, found by clicking the link below.

Human nature tends to shoot their best supporting foot, just because it steps a little different than the other. May we all take on the ‘nature’ of God and receive His peace and understanding for one another!
