Calling Things That Are Not

18 Nov

My Take

DiVoran Lites

Excerpt from Capps Ministries

Sickness and disease have No Power over me.

By his stripes, I am healed and made whole

God sent His Word and healed me.

I overcome the world and the flesh with the word of my testimony.

You have given me abundant life through your word, and it flows to every organ of my body, bringing healing and health.

DiVoran has been writing for most of her life. Her first attempt at a story was when she was seven years old and her mother got a new typewriter. DiVoran got to use it and when her dad saw her writing he asked what she was writing about. DiVoran answered that she was writing the story of her life. Her dad’s only comment was, “Well, it’s going to be a very short story.” After most of a lifetime of writing and helping other writers, DiVoran finally launched her own dream which was to write a novel of her own. She now has her Florida Springs trilogy and her novel, a Christian Western Romance, Go West available on Amazon. When speaking about her road to publication, she gives thanks to the Lord for all the people who helped her grow and learn.  She says, “I could never have done it by myself, but when I got going everything fell beautifully into place, and I was glad I had started on my dream.”

Our God of Deliverance

4 Nov

My Take

DiVoran Lites

Excerpt from Streams in the Desert

Mrs. Charles E. Cowman

Turn you to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope (Zech. 9:12)

God is waiting to prove Himself to us as a God of deliverance.

Never think for one moment that He means to keep you in prison. That is not His purpose.

Those who so far misunderstood Him pray only for strength, courage, and patience to endure. God does answer those prayers, yet He would rather see His children go a step beyond and pray for deliverance, freedom, and joy, for the great work by which He has caused us to triumph over our sorrows.

As an advocate, He never loses a case. He will never lose our case, for He pleads effectively.

Be thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart.

Naught be all else to me, save that thou art;

Thou my best thought by day or by night.

Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.

Keep my Thoughts in Your Sight

14 Oct

My Take

DiVoran Lites

From Streams in the Desert

Mrs. Charles E. Cowman

When you make my thoughts like little quiet sheep,

And keep them in the sight

Through the dark hours, the dusk and dawn between,

Guide them and guard them from the steep ravine,

And for them in at night.

Often, they stray upon the moor of fear,

Lost on its rocky height;

Oh, in Thy peaceful pastures, let them sleep,

Shepherd my thoughts like little quiet sheep, 

And fold them in at night.

Faith will not make the sun rise sooner, but it will make the night seem shorter.

Singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord 

23 Sep

My Take

DiVoran Lites

(From Streams in the Desert)

(Eph 5:19)

Singing will clear the sky of clouds. 

Work is made of joy when one goes about it singing. Songs are contagious. As everybody loves a lover, everybody enjoys folks whose gladness bursts forth in song.

Singing is one of God’s richest gifts in the world. 

A messenger boy ran up the steps of a home singing, “Brighten the corner where you are,” and the lady sweeping off her porch soon sang that melody. The woman next door took it up and sang it when, finally, it went on wings of gladness down the street. All because a plain messenger boy gave vent to the joy-bells of life.

Believers Shine Like Lights in the World

16 Sep

My Take

DiVoran Lites

Philippians 2: 12

My beloved ones, just like you’ve always listened to everything I’ve taught you in the past, I’m asking you now to keep following my instructions as though I were right there with you. Now, you must continue to manifest this new life as you live in the holy awe of God—which brings you trembling into his presence.

The Authority of Jesus

9 Sep

My Take

DiVoran Lites

Philippians 2:10

The authority of the name of Jesus causes every knee to bow in reverence!

Everything and everyone will one day submit to this name in the heavenly realm, the earthly realm, and the demonic realm. And every tongue will proclaim in every language: Jesus Christ is Lord Yahweh, bring glory and honor to God, his Father!

Be Still Means Stop Striving

12 Aug

My Take

DiVoran Lites

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1

The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us. Who could defend us better? The God of Israel (our personal God)

See to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Because God is our refuge (fortress and strength, we need not fear. Even when natural disasters strike (Ps 46:2-3.) 

Even during national conflicts 

The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us. Who could defend us better? The God of Israel is our fortress. What better protection could we have? God is also working to end all wars. He will win and be exalted in the end, which will surely come. 

The nations will be still and know He is God; it means they should stop striving and lay their arms down. God will fight and eventually end all conflicts. Isaiah 2 is a parallel passage describing the latter days when metal will be used for farming and fishing tools, not weapons. We can personalize this psalm by remembering that God will fight our battles. Stop striving and know that He is God our refuge and strength. 

Almighty God, I run to You for refuge; I depend on You for strength, remembering to let God fight our battles. Stop striving and know that He is God, our refuge and strength. 

Almighty God, I run to You for refuge. I depend on You for strength. Help me to stop fighting for my rights and let you be God! I rest in you.

She…

29 Jul

My Take

DiVoran Lites

In the night season, the woman rises and sets food on the table for hungry people in her house and for others.

She sets her heart upon a nation and takes it as her own, carrying it within her.

She labors there to plant the living vines. She wraps herself in strength, might, and power in all her works.

She tastes and experiences a better substance, and her shining light will not be extinguished, no matter how dark the night is.

She stretches her hands to help those in need and lays hold of the wheels of government!

Wise Words

22 Jul

My Take

DiVoran Lites

Proverbs:21-24

The lovers of God who chase after righteousness will find all their dreams come true: an abundant life drenched with favor and a fountain that overflows with satisfaction.

A warrior filled with wisdom ascends into the high place and releases regional breakthroughs, bringing down the strongholds of the mighty!

Watch your words and be careful what you say; you’ll be surprised how few troubles you’ll have today. 

Amen

My Take

Pay close attention, my child, to your father’s wise words, and never forget your mother’s instructions. Their insight will bring you success, adorning you with grace-filled thoughts and giving you reins to guide your decisions.
