To wrap up this study, this is what I learned from Video #7: ·          Standing firm is maintaining the posture I’ve been given in Christ (my identity). ·          The Sword of the Spirit is the Spirit’s weapon!   Not my weapon. ·          The word Paul uses for sword describes an 18” dagger that is quick to draw, needle sharp and for use in up-close hand-to-hand combat. ·          When Scripture is illumined, that is the Holy Spirit handing you the sword…even preparing you in advance for battle. I pray you’re experiencing dramatic change in your own prayer lives.   I also pray you’re ready to mentor someone else like Miss Priscilla has mentored you for the last seven weeks.   I pray that God will bring that person into your life right now while you’re fresh from Boot Camp.   Maybe you’...

First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Priscilla Shirer and B&H/Lifeway for sending me a copy of "Fervent:  A Woman's Battle Plan to Serious, Specific and Strategic Prayer" to review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy available to me. Fervent: A Woman’s Battle Plan to Serious, Specific and Strategic Prayer by Priscilla Shirer is a must read for every Christian who is serious about positive change in their prayer life!  The enemy has a strategy for attacking God’s people and we must be prayed up so we are not preyed upon in these areas.  Each chapter focuses on one area that may be vulnerable to attack:  your Passion, Focus, Identity, Family, Past, Fears, Purity, Pressures, Hurts and Relationships.  Each area is flushed out with plenty of Scripture to empower that area of your life. One of my favorite features of this book are the perforated...

Saddle up for mysteries and laughs with the Wilde sisters! Bailey Wilde is the oldest sister--and the one who takes care of everyone else in her family. But after her sisters marry and move away, her little homestead becomes bleak and lonely, especially during the long winter months. In a moment of weakness, Bailey agrees to a wild plan concocted by her neighbor, Gage Coulter. Gage is an honest man, but he didn't make his fortune by being weak. He won't break the law, but he'll push as hard as he can within it. Five thousand acres of excellent grazing land is lost to him because Bailey's homestead is located right across the entrance to a canyon full of lush grass. Gage has to regain access to this land--and he's got to go through Bailey to do it. So he makes a proposal... Can these two independent, life-toughened homesteaders finally loosen up enough to earn each other's respect--and maybe find love in the process? The Author Photo courtesy of Ging...

Video #6 taught me: ·          The enemy is after my mind. ·          Salvation is meant to be applied, not just received. ·          Salvation is meant to implement a new way of thinking.   It’s about my identity in Christ! ·          We have the protection of salvation, now we need to use it. ·          Being blessed is in our genetic code (Eph 1:3 says Your God is blessed!   My Daddy’s blessed and so am I!). ·          We cooperate in the sanctification process. ·          We tear down strongholds with the Word of God! This week’s book work taught me: ·          The Lord restores me through the renewing of my mind through His W...
