As we celebrate this Easter season, I am filled with immense joy and gratitude for the love and blessings that surround us. It is a time of reflection, renewal, and rejoicing in the miraculous events of the death and resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
The significance of this season is profound, for it reminds us of the ultimate sacrifice and victory of Jesus, who conquered death to offer us eternal life and salvation. His resurrection is a beacon of hope, a promise of redemption, and a demonstration of God’s unfailing love for each of us.
I want you to know that I cherish each and every one of you dearly. You are in my thoughts and prayers daily, and I am grateful for the privilege of sharing God’s Word with you. Your presence in my life is a gift that I treasure, and I never take for granted the opportunity to walk alongside you on this faith journey.
May this Easter Day be a time of spiritual renewal, joy, and peace for you and your loved ones. May you feel the warmth of God’s love surrounding you, and may you be reminded of the hope and promise that Easter brings.
In the shadows of Good Friday, where despair and anguish seem to hold sway, remember that Sunday is on its way. The lessons of Good Friday echo through the ages, teaching us that even in our darkest moments, there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon.
Just as the disciples faced uncertainty and grief on that fateful Friday, so too do you encounter trials and challenges in your own lives. But do not be disheartened, for Sunday is coming. The promise of resurrection and renewal is woven into the very fabric of existence, reminding us that after every crucifixion, there is a resurrection waiting to unfold.
Embrace the lessons of Good Friday with courage and faith, knowing that the journey from the cross to the empty tomb is a testament to the enduring power of love and redemption. Hold fast to the belief that even when all seems lost, a new dawn is on the brink of breaking forth. Trust in the divine plan that transcends your understanding, for Sunday is indeed coming, bringing with it the triumph of hope and the glory of everlasting grace.
Beloved child, Just as a tree is known by its fruit, so too shall you know a person by the fruits of their life. The essence of one’s character, deeds, and intentions shall be revealed through the abundance or scarcity of their fruits.
Remember, dear one, that it is not merely in the words that are spoken but in the actions that are taken that the truth of a person’s heart is laid bare. For it is easy to profess love, kindness, and righteousness with the tongue, but it is in the daily choices, the selfless acts, and the sacrificial gestures that the authenticity of one’s character shines forth.
Do not be swayed by someone’s empty promises or hollow declarations, for true virtue is not found in mere words but in the tangible fruits of a life well-lived. Just as a barren tree cannot yield fruit, so too shall the barrenness of insincerity and hypocrisy be exposed in the absence of genuine deeds and righteous actions.
Walk in discernment and wisdom, my child, and let your own life be a beacon of light and truth. By their fruits, you shall know them, and by their actions, you shall discern the purity of their intentions. Trust in the power of discernment and the clarity that comes from knowing that it is not what people say but what they do that truly counts.
Beloved children of God remember this, the act of giving is a sacred exchange, a divine flow of blessings that knows no bounds. I gave you my only begotten son so that you would never die but have eternal life. As you open your hearts and hands to give to others, so too shall you receive in abundance, for the measure of your generosity shall be the measure of blessings poured back into your life.
In the grand tapestry of existence, every act of giving is a thread woven with love and compassion, creating a fabric of interconnectedness that binds us all. Just as a small pebble creates ripples that spread far and wide, so too does a single act of kindness reverberate through the universe, touching hearts and souls in ways beyond our comprehension.
Let this truth resonate within you, dear ones: as you sow seeds of generosity and selflessness, so shall you reap a harvest of blessings that knows no limits. The law of reciprocity is a divine principle, a promise of abundance and grace for those who give with an open heart and a spirit of goodwill.
Look around you, beloved children, and behold the treasures that lie dormant, waiting to be shared with those in need. In your possessions, in your time, in your talents, there are gifts waiting to be bestowed upon others, gifts that have the power to transform lives and bring joy to the weary and the downtrodden.
Do not underestimate the impact of even the smallest act of giving, for in the eyes of the Divine, every gift given with love is a precious offering that illuminates the path of the giver and the receiver alike. Whether it be a kind word, a helping hand, or a material possession that you no longer need, let your generosity be a reflection of the boundless love that flows through you.
Know this, dear ones: I will go out of my way to bless those who give freely and abundantly, for the act of giving is a channel through which divine blessings are channeled into the world. Just as a river flows endlessly, so too does the flow of blessings cascade upon those who give with a pure heart and a spirit of compassion.
May this prophetic word stir within you a deep sense of purpose and a renewed commitment to give generously and selflessly. Let your gifts be a testament to the infinite grace that surrounds you, and may the blessings you bestow upon others return to you a hundredfold.
Embrace the call to give with joy and gratitude, knowing that in giving, you receive the greatest gift of all: the unending love and grace of the Divine. Give freely, give abundantly, and watch as the blessings of heaven pour down upon you in a glorious cascade of light and love. Amen.

1. John 11:25-26 (NIV) – “Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?'”
2. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 (NIV) – “For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.”
3. Luke 24:6-7 (NIV) – “He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.'”
The Palm Sunday story, the majestic tale of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, calls our attention to a great leader’s humility and love. His action, seemingly simple and unassuming, held a profound truth – he did it for us, for humanity. A king typically enthroned high and stout on a war horse chose the small stature of a donkey to herald his entry, presenting a symbol of peace instead of power, love amidst despair, and hope where darkness loomed.
Many would question why a king, a messiah, would ride on a donkey’s back, especially knowing the immense weight of the world’s sins sitting heavy on his shoulder. Yet, Jesus did so, willingly and freely. This calls to our consciousness about the nature of a leader’s heart. Unlike earthly kings embodying power and exuding superiority, Jesus walked a different path. He was the sacrificial lamb, embodying love, compassion, and understanding. Beneath his divine wisdom was an unwavering love for humanity, something that made him ride a donkey and embrace inevitable suffering. Amid all this lay an unequivocal truth – he did it for us, so we could find redemption and forgiveness in our moments of frailty and desolation.
This Palm Sunday, as we remember Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, let’s pause and ponder about the extraordinary love he embodied. Just as a seed breaks open to give life to a tree, Jesus fragmented his life for the wellbeing of humanity. The whole act was a meditation on humility, placing others before self, encouraging us to ride our personal donkeys of compassion, humility, and love as we journey through our modern Jerusalem. His act was not just an event in history. Instead, it was a beckoning, a call to action, to lean more into love, grace, and humility. On this Palm Sunday, let’s remember that we, too, are a part of this grand narrative. As we wave our palm fronds high, let’s honor the essence of Jesus’ journey – that he, indeed, did it for us.
Two younger than me and one 5 years older. It’s never easy and it brings up many memories. Some are good memories and some are not. It’s a part of growing older and a fact of life. The biggest regret I have is that of not being able to reach one of them, a confirmed Atheist, with the love of God. I pray that person secretly came to God before they passed but only God knows the heart of another person. We do the best we can and leave the outcome to God.
Recently, I have received several emails from people who wonder why God feels far away. They question if He is mad at them, and why they don’t feel His presence in their lives anymore. If you find yourself in this place of spiritual distance, know that you are not alone. It is a common struggle that many believers face at some point in their journey.
Feeling disconnected from God can be a disheartening experience. You may feel lost, confused, and even abandoned. However, it’s important to remember that God’s love for you is constant and unwavering, regardless of how you may feel. In times of spiritual dryness, it’s crucial to turn to God’s Word for guidance and comfort.
Here are some steps to help you find your way back to God when you feel far away:
1. **Reflect on Your Relationship**: Take some time to reflect on your relationship with God. Consider if there are any areas in your life where you have drifted away from Him. Confess any sins or shortcomings and ask for His forgiveness.
2. **Pray with Honesty**: Be open and honest with God in your prayers. Share your feelings of distance and ask Him to draw near to you. Remember, God is always listening, and He longs for you to seek Him with sincerity.
3. **Seek His Presence**: Spend time in prayer, worship, and meditation on His Word. Make an effort to create a space for God in your daily routine. Allow His presence to fill your heart and mind.
4. **Find Community**: Surround yourself with fellow believers who can support and encourage you in your faith journey. Share your struggles with trusted friends or mentors who can pray for you and offer guidance.
5. **Claim His Promises**: Remind yourself of God’s promises in Scripture. Meditate on verses that speak of His faithfulness, love, and presence. Trust in His Word and hold onto the hope that He will never leave nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).
6. **Stay Persistent**: Remember that spiritual growth takes time and effort. Stay committed to seeking God, even when it feels challenging. Trust that He is always near, waiting for you to draw close to Him.
In times of spiritual distance, it’s natural to feel discouraged. However, know that God’s love for you remains constant, and His arms are always open to welcome you back into His presence. Take comfort in the fact that He is a gracious and merciful God who desires a deep and intimate relationship with you.
May these words of encouragement and guidance help you on your journey back to God’s loving embrace. Trust in His faithfulness, and know that He is always near, ready to guide you home.

1. James 4:8 (NIV) – “Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
– This verse encourages us to draw near to God with a repentant heart and assures us that He will draw near to us in return. It emphasizes the importance of seeking God’s presence actively.
2. Psalm 145:18 (NIV) – “The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.”
– This verse reminds us that God is close to those who sincerely seek Him. It highlights the significance of approaching God with honesty and authenticity in our prayers.
3. Isaiah 41:10 (NIV) – “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
– This verse offers reassurance that God is with us, even in times when we feel distant or discouraged. It reminds us of God’s constant presence, strength, and support in our lives.
May these scriptures provide you with comfort and guidance as you seek to draw closer to God and experience His presence in your life.
This morning God spoke to my heart that no one had ever taught me to pray. It was simply an overwhelming feeling that I had, even as a young child, to communicate with God. I found that so interesting and further I believe that very feeling is just one more proof of God’s very existence. I wondered how many of you, looking back on your life, realize that no one had to teach you to pray but that it came to you naturally. Later, when we start going to church, we wonder if we are doing it right and begin to listen to see how others pray. Sometimes I think, when we are young in Christ, we lose that simplicity of prayer by worrying about fitting in and wanting to pray “correctly” but as we mature in Christ we don’t worry about praying in any certain way and we go back to our childhood way of simply pouring our hearts out to our Heavenly Father. I believe it is those prayers that bring us so very close to God.
In moments of joy, sorrow, confusion, and gratitude, there exists a deep-rooted instinct within us to turn to prayer. It is a calling that transcends boundaries and speaks to the core of our being, seeking solace, guidance, and connection with a higher power. Within the realm of Christianity, the teachings of Jesus Christ illuminate the profound significance of prayer and its transformative impact on our lives.
Jesus, the embodiment of love and compassion, offers us a gentle guide on the path of prayer, inviting us to approach God with humility, trust, and sincerity. Through his words in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus shares with his disciples the Lord’s Prayer, a sacred template that echoes the essence of love, forgiveness, gratitude, and surrender to the divine will. In these words, we find comfort in addressing God as a loving Father, seeking His provision, asking for forgiveness, and entrusting our lives into His caring hands.
Beyond the words we speak, Jesus teaches us to embody prayer with a spirit of unwavering faith and persistent hope. In the Gospel of Luke, he shares the parable of the persistent widow, reminding us of the power of perseverance in our prayers. With gentle encouragement, Jesus invites us to approach God with childlike faith, believing in His goodness and trusting in His perfect timing.
Moreover, Jesus assures us of the transformative power of prayer when rooted in faith. In the Gospel of Mark, he speaks words of assurance, “Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” These words echo the profound connection between our faith, our prayers, and the unfolding of God’s divine plan in our lives.
As we journey through the teachings of Jesus, we are reminded of his own moments of prayerful communion with the Father. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus, in his human vulnerability, poured out his heart to God, seeking strength, courage, and acceptance of the path ahead. Through his example, we find solace in knowing that our prayers are heard, our hearts understood, and our burdens shared by a loving and compassionate God.
In closing, let us embrace the natural instinct to pray as a sacred gift that draws us closer to the heart of God. May we approach prayer with humility, gratitude, and a deep sense of trust in the loving presence of our Heavenly Father. Through the teachings of Jesus, may we find comfort, strength, and transformation in our prayerful journey, knowing that we are held in the embrace of divine love.
As we embark on this heartfelt journey of prayer, may we be guided by the gentle wisdom of Jesus, the embodiment of love and compassion, and may our hearts be filled with the warmth and grace of prayerful communion with our Creator.

Jesus’ teachings on prayer are profound and multifaceted, emphasizing a personal and sincere approach to communication with God. Here are some key points from His teachings:
Pray with Sincerity: Jesus taught that prayer should be an intimate and sincere conversation with God, not a public display for the admiration of others. He advised praying in private, where the Father who sees in secret will reward you (Matthew 6:5-6).
The Lord’s Prayer: Jesus provided a model for prayer in the Lord’s Prayer, which covers several important aspects: acknowledging God’s holiness, seeking His will, requesting daily needs, asking for forgiveness, and seeking guidance away from temptation (Matthew 6:9-13).
Persistence in Prayer: Jesus encouraged persistent prayer, assuring that those who ask receive, those who seek find, and to those who knock, the door will be opened (Matthew 7:7-11).
Praying for Others: He instructed to love and pray for enemies, highlighting the power of prayer in transforming relationships and fostering forgiveness (Matthew 5:44).
Prayer in Agreement: Jesus mentioned the power of communal prayer, stating that where two or three gather in His name, He is there among them, and their requests will be granted by the Father in heaven (Matthew 18:19-20).
God’s Knowledge and Provision: He reassured that God knows our needs before we ask and is ready to give good gifts to those who ask Him (Matthew 6:8, 7:11).
These teachings form the foundation of Christian prayer, guiding believers to approach God with hearts full of faith, humility, and trust.
Good day beloved subscribers, and welcome back to our spiritual journey of gaining God’s wisdom in our lives.
Yesterday, in my YouTube video, I briefly touched upon a topic that has captured the curiosity and intrigue of many – the presence of evil spirits, or as I referred to them, “aggravating spirits.” Some of you have reached out, seeking a deeper understanding and explanation of this phenomenon, and today, I am delighted to delve into this intriguing subject in more detail through this blog post.
Join me as we unravel the spiritual significance of discerning the presence of evil spirits through divine revelation and scriptural wisdom. Let us embark on this journey of enlightenment and empowerment, as we seek to understand the subtle signs of darkness and stand firm in the light of God’s truth.
In the spiritual realm, the presence of evil spirits is a reality that transcends the physical senses and requires a deeper understanding rooted in faith and scripture. As believers in Christ, we are called to discern the signs of darkness and to stand firm in the light of God’s truth. The scent of smoke and vile smells can serve as a spiritual alarm, signaling the presence of malevolent entities that seek to disrupt and deceive.
Scripture tells us in Ephesians 6:12, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” This verse reminds us that the battle we face is not merely physical but spiritual, and the signs of evil manifest in ways that go beyond the material realm.
The aroma of smoke, reminiscent of the fires of hell, and the foul stench of decay, symbolic of spiritual death, are not mere coincidences but spiritual manifestations of the presence of evil spirits. In 2 Corinthians 2:15-16, we are reminded that as believers, we carry the fragrance of Christ, a sweet aroma that is pleasing to God. In contrast, the scent of evil serves as a stark contrast, a reminder of the darkness that seeks to infiltrate and corrupt our spiritual walk.
As followers of Christ, we are called to be vigilant and discerning, to test the spirits as instructed in 1 John 4:1, “Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” By anchoring ourselves in the truth of God’s Word and seeking discernment through prayer and spiritual guidance, we can resist the influence of evil spirits and stand firm in the authority of Christ.
So, when we encounter the scent of smoke or vile smells that defy explanation, let us turn to scripture for guidance and seek the discernment of the Holy Spirit to unveil the spiritual reality behind these manifestations. Let us be empowered by the words of Psalm 23:4, “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” In the face of darkness, let us cling to the light of God’s truth and stand firm in the assurance of His protection and guidance.
I would also like to add that if you are one that experiences this from time to time it means that you are considered a threat to the evil one and God has His hands on your life to produce great things through you. Satan is aggravated because he sees you as a threat.
I hope this message finds you all well. I wanted to give you a quick update regarding today’s schedule. I am in the process of selling my car, and due to the uncertainties surrounding the timing, I won’t be able to upload a new video on YouTube today.
However, I’ve taken the time to write down my thoughts and share them with you in a YouTube post. I believe you’ll find the content just as engaging and informative as my usual videos.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me spread the word by sharing the post with others. Your support means the world to me, and it helps our community grow stronger every day.
Thank you for your understanding and your continued support. Stay tuned for more updates, and I’ll be back with more videos soon!
In Him,
Cathie
My Dearly Beloved
In the tapestry of life, your journey has been one of expectation and anticipation, where the horizon of tomorrow is often painted with the colors of today’s dreams. Yet, I beckon you to embrace a canvas of possibilities that transcends the familiar hues of your imagination.

The process of selling a home is not just a transaction; it is a journey that requires patience, discernment, and faith.
I urge you to not hasten to accept the first offer that comes your way. Like the first drops of rain that quench the thirsty earth, it may seem like a blessing, but remember, the fullness of the storm brings the true bounty. There is a plan for your life that is more intricate and beautiful than you can comprehend, and every decision you make weaves into this grand design.
The home you are selling is more than just a structure; it has been a sanctuary of memories, a vessel of love, and a testament to your journey thus far. The next custodian of this space should be someone who values its essence, not just its valuation. Therefore, be steadfast and considerate in your decisions, for the right buyer is one who will honor and cherish this space as you have.
Do not let the urgency of others dictate your actions. In the stillness of your heart, listen for my voice; it will guide you towards the decision that aligns with my will.

Until then, stand firm in the knowledge that I am orchestrating all things for your benefit.
In the quiet moments of your generosity, you have sown seeds of kindness and compassion. Your heart has been a wellspring of benevolence, pouring out blessings upon those around you without the slightest hesitation or thought of reward. It is in this spirit of selfless giving that the foundations of my kingdom are built, and it is upon these foundations that I will now bestow upon you a gift of unexpected abundance.
The heavens have taken account of your deeds, and a divine windfall is on the horizon, a testament to the principle that in giving, we receive. This gift of money, unforeseen by your calculations, is my way of affirming that no act of kindness, however small, goes unnoticed in my eyes.
As you have lifted others, so shall you be uplifted. The financial blessing that is coming your way is not merely a coincidence but a deliberate act of my providence. It is an answer to the prayers whispered in the silence of your heart, a response to the nights spent in hopeful supplication. This monetary gift is a key that will unlock the doors of financial freedom, releasing you from the chains of debt that have weighed heavily upon your shoulders.
Let this be a sign to you that my ear is ever attentive to the cries of my children, and my arm is not too short to save. The resources of heaven are limitless, and my desire is to see you thrive, not just survive. This unexpected provision is a reflection of my nature—generous, kind, and ever faithful to my promises.
Do not be troubled by thoughts of unworthiness or doubt. You have been chosen to receive this blessing because of your heart’s posture, a heart that mirrors my own. In your times of plenty, remember the journey that brought you here, and let gratitude be the song that rises from your lips.
As you step into this new season of financial breakthrough, do so with the confidence that I am guiding your every decision. Wisdom will be your companion, and prudence your friend, as you steward this blessing with the same grace that has marked your life thus far.

Isaiah 55:8-9
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Proverbs 3:5-6
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
2 Corinthians 9:6-8
“Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”
These verses reflect the essence of trusting in God’s unexpected ways, the importance of patience and faith in His timing, and the blessings that follow acts of generosity. May these words offer guidance and encouragement.
