Running With Horses

Have you noticed the Lord is doing some things quickly? Bringing forward matters that have been in the distance, on the back burner? Obviously, He is settling many long-time, up-in-the air matters, things like business deals and family issues. And at the center is a connection between you and the miracle you need. It's the Bible term repentance and it means to turn. Today's episode of "Running Wit...

There is such a thing as a divine connection; when two people or two groups come together in a divinely orchestrated situation. These connections occur not only according to the Lord's planning and execution, but are happening more than you realize. If you are praying for your situation, remember that the Lord brings people together and creates specific circumstances for an eternal impact. Be awar...

Unforgiveness in the human heart begins small but enlarges to take over more territory, creating a heaviness that's also dark. Creativity and natural energy levels seem to be less and less, impacted by the dark covering over the heart that holds onto unforgiveness. But God's light can shine into that darkness, restoring light and everything connected. Shirley explains that darkness does not compre...

Prophetic and visionary leadership doesn't occur in the back of the room or on the periphery of the crowd; rather, it takes place out in front where every individual benefits from the leader who envisions today before today and allows a tomorrow filled with the collective spiritual and moral genius of God's people. To build prophetically this way, we need gutsy , God-sent, God-inspired leaders who...

In today's podcast Shirley explains how your faith isn't just a belief or hope but a revelation of the written Word, activated in your  heart, to build upon your anchor of hope and reward what you believe. That's because faith doesn't fluctuate with the crowd, whim, or threat. Faith is the  real thing,  operating  above  all that noise!  Your strategy should be:  What did the Lord say?  Stay with...

Everything you hold before the Lord including people, situations and outcomes are influenced by what you believe and how you steward where God has placed you. Consider being more intentional about the big picture and less myopic and inward. Believe God first, sow the seeds you know you should, then believe Him even more for the outcome and dream that's in your heart. God is ready to restore—now bu...

Remember, the Lord watches over you to provide for you, often supernaturally, in answer to your prayers and the prayers of others devoted to your breakthrough. Your part is to keep your focus in God's Word so you can receive godly and wise counsel. Otherwise your miracle could evaporate while you're scurrying about chasing man-made substitutes and you'd miss receiving the very thing you've longed...

Continuing with things pertaining to the last days—a biblical term for the time in which you and I presently live—God speaks through our circumstances. He confirms the path forward when options evaporate. He warns by allowing outcomes to deteriorate, even to the point of being intolerable. But then, Divine favor intervenes and goes on display when we listen, then follow-through. "… and  let us run...

In this episode, Shirley points to Jesus's life and ministry as our great example of "lifestyle" faith that believes God's supernatural moving in the lives of ordinary people is both in His heart to do and should also be in our hearts for all men everywhere as we discern the times and understand we are in fact living in the last days of this age.   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and leav...

We cannot overlook remaining engaged with God's people, even if we feel excluded for some or any reason! The Bible strongly points to the assembly of believers, important as a built-in protection on many levels, especially against deceptive and lying people and spirits as in 1 Timothy 4. Subsequent to becoming isolated is the loss of accountability to those who love and care for you, followed by t...

Do we believe God's word speaks significantly, even prophetically about this time in history and the role each person has—each person's individual relevance today plus eternal relevance  in the future? In this episode, Shirley suggests an emphatic yes answer to that question and addresses your "last days" role, including and the critical message from God's Word that you literally were born for thi...

This episode pays tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away on September 8, 2022. Her reign of 70 years and 214 days is the longest of any British monarch, the longest recorded of any female head of state in history, and the second-longest verified reign of any sovereign in history. She was unwavering and devoted in her love for Jesus Christ and her expectation to live with Him eternally. Thi...

Pay attention to what you hear in prayer. To what the Lord speaks to you. The voice(s) you hear—pay attention to, heed, take in to integrate into your life, to apply to your life—matters. That's Luke 8:18 .    If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and leave a review.

SAID NO ONE: "I have complete confidence and feel no doubt or worry or dread or fear, am never anxious and never experience negative thoughts." Shirley explains what to do when we experience subtle thoughts of dread or anxiety and feel unprepared or unqualified for the very thing we not only want to do, but especially know is the Lord's plan for us. You can defeat those renegade thoughts that atte...

The September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, commonly known as 9/11, were four coordinated suicide terrorist attacks carried out by the militant Islamic extremist network al-Qaeda against the U.S. resulting in the deaths of 2,996 people from around the world—from many nations and ethnicities. In this episode Shirley ties the memory of 9/11 to the life and passing last week of Queen Elizabe...

How do you arrive at the outcome(s) you desire? Assuming your desire is the desire God placed in your heart—the one you pursue by faith—how do you receive the desired outcome when too much time has passed and your hope is fading? In this episode we'll discuss it. If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and leave a review. We appreciate your support!  On Running With Horses, we take a spiritual lo...

" Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it. "   - Proverbs 22:6 (NIV) We live in a culture of instant gratification, especially when it comes to raising children; too often parents seek to keep children happy through material possessions and a worldly focus. What is neglected is a spiritual connection to God and confidence is His power.  F...

God spoke the world into existence. In fact, words are powerful in the spiritual realm. For believers, what we speak has a profound impact on outcomes. So often we are focused on becoming more intellectual, more rooted in the day-to-day of the world that we forget the very thing that makes us powerful—our words. Prayer goes a long way. It is our connection to God that we must strengthen every day....

When it comes to knowing specifics about obstacles ,  impossibility looms for the natural man.  In the C hurch we find men and women like the New Testament character Philip, who are inclined to reason whether God can do the thing He tells His people to do. In the book "Faith Beyond Reason" author A.W. Tozer describes Philip:  " Here in the New Testament was Philip the Calculator—Philip the Mathema...

Things in life we consider natural and practical are prime to be infused with God's supernatural supply. For example: our fervent prayer or praying fervently. In today's episode, Shirley shares her prayer for children and their schools.   On Running With Horses, we take a spiritual look at the culture and world, as we see it, and the Believer's leadership role as catalysts for Biblical outcomes th...

When God speaks and we obey the first word we receive, it leads to an ongoing conversation. What He tells us opens doors and  we receive divine guidance with answers we never expected. Like children, if we can listen to God with an open heart and mind, our lives change...but only if we choose to hear.   On Running With Horses, we take a spiritual look at the culture and world, as we see it, and th...

In order to mature as a believer, it helps to have someone watch for us; and, of course, we need to watch for one another so that no one becomes isolated and left to "go it alone." We need the security of being nurtured in the faith, plus a healthy understanding of repentance so that authentic Christian living can be possible. God's love, and the love of others invested in and watching for us, hel...

We are living in the End Times.  May 15, 1948 was a pivotal point in the Bible. The Jewish state was born in a single day, just as the prophet Isaiah foretold in Isaiah 66:8. This was the historical and official re-emergence of the Nation of Israel as a State after 2000 years in exile, and it sets the stage for all other prophecies about the End Times. On Running With Horses, we take a spiritual l...
