Darkest Before the Dawn

Forgotten Promises

When I was young, the Lord spoke to my heart and told me that I would be in the ministry one day and for me to prepare myself for it. I loved studying the word of God anyway, so I decided to go through seminary. I figured that if God wanted me in ministry, He would open a door for me when I was ready. His preparation involved a lot more than I thought. If you have been waiting on God's plans for you for a long time, Listen to the message today for a word of hope!

The Caterpillar

No matter how dark things may look, your life can be transformed in an instant. God has a plan and a purpose for you. Listen to the message today for a word of hope! This is taken from my book, "Forty Days of Hope."

The Hot Head

A mighty prophet of God a few days before, Jonah now sat in the blazing heat and wished that he was dead. He actually prayed to die. The Lord provided everything Jonah needed to change his attitude. He will also provide everything we require to maintain a proper attitude. Sometimes that involves withholding something we think that we need. Or something else comes along we don't think we need. Listen to the message today for a word of hope!

The Treasure Chest

The Ark of the Covenant was about the size of a small seaman's chest, built from acacia wood and overlaid with pure gold. We can learn something from this. If you have ever felt that you are not quite good enough, Listen to the message today for a word of hope!

The Closed Door

There was a season in my life when I really caught fire for the Lord. It was a personal revival. I fasted, prayed, and listened to the Bible twenty-four-seven for weeks. Then I began to pray for the Lord to remove anything in my life that was holding me back from being closer to Him. Everything was rosy for about two weeks. Then I was called to the office at work and laid off! If God has closed doors that you wished were open, Listen to the message today for a word of hope! This is taken from my book "Forty Days of Faith."
