“Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before You.” Psalm 89:14 Years ago the Lord said to me, “Your voice matters!” At times I’ve experienced a spirit of intimidation, fear, confusion, coming against my voice and what I am called to ‘herald.’ I have recently come to understand that this has been an opportunity…

Restoring Righteousness – Part 2
As I started writing this post this morning it took a slight turn from my original writing. ”Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails” (Proverbs 19:21).

Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets. ((Acts 3:21 NIV) The relationship between God and humankind was disrupted in the Garden (Genesis 3). There were consequences related to that disruption, and steps have been taken by God to restore that relationship. With much of what…
