    It Begins With Me

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 31, 2025
     | 165 views

    Revival starts where one heart turns—opening closed doors, cleansing hidden sin, and welcoming the Spirit’s rain until joy returns again.

    Introduction — The Long Wait for Rain Sometimes revival doesn’t arrive with thunder. Sometimes it seeps in quietly—like rain through hard, cracked ground. For years we may live with the crust of complacency, calling it contentment. We tell ourselves that the season of power is past, that we’ve ...read more

    True spiritual fruitfulness comes from abiding in Jesus, trusting God’s pruning, and allowing His life to flow through us for lasting transformation and joy.

    Friends, welcome. If you close your eyes, you can almost see it: a sunlit hillside, a trellis swaying with a thousand green hands, clusters of grapes hanging like promises.

    God’s constant presence offers true guidance, lasting joy, and unshakable hope, inviting us to trust Him fully no matter our circumstances or uncertainties.

Other days carry a deeper ache—an empty chair at the table, a diagnosis you didn’t see coming, a door closed that you prayed would open. In moments like ...read more

     | 66 views

    Prayer transforms worry into peace, gratitude turns scarcity into joy, and intentional generosity creates lasting impact when we bring everything to God with open hearts.

    Some days it feels like life is lived in the space between sighs. Between the doctor’s call and the next appointment. Between a stack of bills and a thin bank account. Between what we hoped for and what is here. In those spaces, God is nearer than breath. He leans over the rail of heaven, ...read more
