Warning - bad sound.... The devil doesn’t believe you believe God. He keeps pressing because he’s watching to see if your yes really means yes and your no really means no. Today, we’re talking about fixing a single eye on Jesus and standing firm when the pressure doesn’t let up.

In this episode, I open up about my own journey—through doubt, burnout, and learning to really trust God. It’s raw and personal, but my hope is that it reminds you: you’re not alone, and God is still speaking. Even in the fire, He’s faithful.

This side of heaven is the only time we have to obey God. Because after we get to heaven, it’s the time to enjoy. So now is the time to fight. Now is the time to stand firm. Now is the time to not let our hearts be troubled.

Sheesh have I failed hard, but God, the Loving Father, picks me up and keeps me close. He is good. You are equipped when you feel like you have failed or feel weak! I hope we are encouraged in the battle today. Love, Sheri

Friends, Let us pray this together daily - soaking in every word. Really, If we get this, we GET IT! Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine...

Hi Friends, We made these 15 or 16 years ago. A friend needed these so I am posting them. Use these to HEAR the Word; set it on repeat; and put these deep in your heart. I will not allow the devil any inroad in my life to attempt to steal, kill, and destroy me. The Bible says that I have already been healed; I am more than a conqueror; an overcomer; I am above only and not beneath. God wishes abov...

Friends, Faith comes by hearing and let us keep the Word before our eyes! He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness by his wounds you have been healed. 1 Peter 2: 24 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases.” Matthew 8:17 Every good and perfect gift is from ab...

Hey Friends , I recorded this and launched it already, but then there was an error in it. When I listened it back, I realize it was lame, so I re-recorded it. I hope this is a blessing. Love, Sheri

Even when it doesn't look like you are equipped - to yourself or others, YOU ARE! Your behavior doesn't direct equippedness! Is that a word?! oh well. Keep on standing.

Sweet friends, quick life update—We moved. Still standing for TY’s miracle—it’s coming! But, I’ve noticed I've been a bit too, let's say, "carnal" in my language lately. Time for a change in 2024! It's 2024, and I'm hitting the reset button to sticking to speaking faith and life - even when it’s hard. Shoutout to my awesome, faith-filled friends and community—I couldn&#39...

Confessions Seven I am not a rejected soul. God pursued me. I am His. He is mine.  I am not lonely. God is with me. Loneliness is God’s invitation to hang out.  God will strengthen and help me. He upholds me and God protects me from my enemies. He is my defender.  I do not insult God by thinking that I cannot hear His voice.  God put His desires in my heart so I run after every dream relentlessly....

Confessions Six I lend to many but will borrow from none.  I submit only to God. I resist the devil.  I will not allow the devil any inroad in my life to attempt to steal, kill, and destroy me.  I am more than a conqueror; an overcomer; I am above only and not beneath.  The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives within me.  No weapon formed against me shall prosper.  I am a faith-filled...

Confessions Five My life is a witness, a city on a hill.  I am holy and blameless in Christ.  I am safe  I am accepted.  I am the righteousness of Christ.  I am not condemned.  I am enough.  My value is more than rubies and pearls.  I am priceless.  No darkness dwells in me.  While man may reject me, my God never will.  I am loved.  God is my defender.  When I am weak, I can stand on my own two fe...

HI Friends, I am so sorry for not posting regularly - I really intend to. We cannot trust our carnal world for Godly answers. Let me know how I can pray for you. Love, Sheri

Confessions Four I am a good friend to have.  My friends and family love me and have the best intentions toward me.  I am kind and loving.  My fruit will speak for itself so I don't have to.  I love because LOVE lives in me.  I shut my mouth when I want to complain.  I speak life!  I encourage others daily – every day.  Joy is my reputation.  I represent Christ well!  God’s Holy Spirit reminds...

Confessions Three Christ in me is the hope of glory.  I am filled with hope.  I take my thoughts captive and align them with God’s thoughts. His ways are higher.  My hope cannot be deferred when it’s rooted in Christ.  I die daily so Christ can live through me.  I deny myself and carry my cross.  I run the race to finish strong.  God will complete the work he began in me.  He sent out his word and...
