Food Is Fuel

Jesus often says that He is the bread of life in the book of John.  And in order for us to really be strong we need to have the best type of food.

Even with exercise to the body it’s important what we actually put in our body that makes the difference.

Food is what counts the most. Food is fuel. Fuel not the activity. What you put in you will shape you then the activity will define you! Continue reading


Fasting Fury

imageHow furious this world is demonstrating unrestrained or violent anger, rage, passion, or the like; violence; vehemence; fierceness and wrath are plundering through the nations.

In a time of our fasting – this is certainly a great petition to put forth in our prayer time regarding the fury nations, places and people. Why has all this come upon us now, for we even fight for our faith? As each Christian stood up they were shot by a young man filled with unrestrained violence and hate toward a people of faith in the state of Oregon.

Yet another mass shooting has occurred, while many are traumatized by the effects of all this violence. How sad, how somber and what an eye-opener for us all to continue to stand in our faith and prayers!  Continue reading


Fasting Fear

imageWhenever I am afraid,
I will trust in You.
Psalm 56:3

I feel afraid. I hate that feeling. It is a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid.

But I won’t be human if I did not feel that. The feeling WILL come. Just like the psalmist wrote… whenever this feeling comes…I will TRUST IN YOU! Continue reading

Paul’s Warning Ignored

Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous because the Fast was already over, Paul advised them, saying, “Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives.” Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken by Paul. And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there.
Acts 27:9-12

Have you ever had any warning signs too? Only to find that you end up in the only shipwreck of the century! But it is okay, because the same way God saved these men even after the warning sign, God is still saving you! Continue reading
