SIN THAT CLINGS TO US

An Opportunity for Spiritual Development

Experiencing Prayer Days and Short Retreats will be in September, 2014 at the White Oak Conference Center in Winnsboro, SC. (an hour’s drive from Charlotte, NC).

The Full Session is September 17–26, and the Short Session September 17–22. Participants will experience prayer topics, retreat topics, and one leadership topic using Jesus’ example. It will be a time of deepening intimacy with God and experiencing a fresh anointing of the Holy…

Last Friday, as a Citizen of Patrol (COPS), I drove through my neighborhood, and noticed a small American flag on the curb of every home. It was, after all, the 4th of July. So, you ask, “Do you live in a neighborhood of all red-blooded Americans?” No, actually we have neighbors who were born in other lands, and in fact, may not even have U.S. citizenship yet. In fact, like me, they may even be upset with this country occasionally. But on this day, this day of our independence, they allowed…

Ezra 8 - 9 starts with Ezra reading the Book of the Law of Moses and ends with the Israelites confessing their sins. 9:3 states that the people stood and read from the Book of the Law for a quarter of the day and spent another quarter in confession and in worship. Many are praying for revival in America, are we just as committed to praying for revival among God's people and if so are we willing to hear the Word of the Lord and respond by confession and worship? And are we willing to let the…

If you believe in the power of prayer join grandparents throughout the world to make National Grandparents Day on September 7, 2014 a Day of Prayer for our grandchildren and their parents.

Today our nations are being attacked like never before educationally, socially, financially and spiritually. Satan has launched an…

I confess that I often approach both You, and Your gift of prayer, with too small of a mindset.  Sometimes, I imagine the things I have the ability to accomplish or dream up, and then ask You to do only that much.  Yet, You're able to do immeasurably more, as Paul wrote in Ephesians 3…

I recently listened while someone described the chaos that "will" follow a nuclear bomb launched by Iran, North Korea or independent terrorists and then exploded in the atmosphere, and/or the calamity following a sunspot, as well as the coming revolution in the U.S. where the hordes and roving gangs will murder us for our food and water. I need to say this caused me to pause.

This would not have bothered me so much had I not been memorizing Joel chapter 1 and thinking…

Do you ever feel like your life is weighed down, chaotic and cluttered? Recently, I experienced the weight with trying to balance my life 

in keeping up with my home, church activities, and grandparenting ministry. 

 We are often weighed down with clutter in our lives, focusing 

on the many petty tasks before us. I love the 

book Jesus Calling, written…

In today’s broken world, Satan’s purpose is to destroy the family. It is important that we pray God will give our children, the parents of our dear grandchildren wisdom and time management in their monumental task of guiding our grandchildren in the ways of the Lord.

Dr. James Dobson writes, “There is no more important job in the universe than to raise a child to love God, live productively, and serve humanity. The responsibilities of…

The work of Wheatland Ministries involves research in learning how to best pray and be involved in intercessory prayer.



I am currently reading the book the Harbinger by Jonathan Cahn. In it he identifies 3 spirits affecting our nation, which are the spirits of Defiance, Pride, and Arrogance. I mention them, because we seen many saying we need to repent--and that is in scripture--but there is a question--do we know what we are repenting of?--especially as a nation.…

On July 4, you celebrate Independence Day in the USA. Many men and women have fought for the freedoms we enjoy as we celebrate the birthday of our nation. Take time to thank God, for the freedom

we still have in this country to worship God.

We often get discouraged with some of the things we see happening in our county, Take the time to share with your grandchildren how blest we are to live in America or the country you live in.…

I am continuing to pray for Pray Network. I hope God leads Navigators to continue this ministry. And I want to thank Him and them every day that it continues.

My blog this week is about praying on vacation. Many of us have taken prayer retreats that were glorious. But I am thinking about something much more difficult. I want to talk about praying on a family or…
