THE SEARCH BEGINS AND ENDS IN CHRIST WITHIN Our lives begin and end with a search for Truth and meaning. Our Father put this thirst and hunger for Himself within us. As we have discussed in previous blogs, we spend a lifetime trying to experience fullness and completeness. It appears nothing and no one can satisfy us. For this reason, we spend a million moments, a million dollars, and a million heartbreaks trying to quench this thirst and fill…
I AM THANKFUL… ARE YOU? This Thanksgiving season, I want to celebrate the rich blessings I received this past year. Some came in the disguise of pain, suffering, great loss, divorce, affliction in my body, turmoil, and depression in my mind, mental illness (Dissociative Identity Disorder, PTSD, Major Depression Disorder), fear and brokenness to my soul. But, God, who is SO RICH in His mercies has healed and restored me! “Weeping may endure for a night (season), BUT…
JESUS – A MAN OF SORROWS ACQUAINTED WITH GRIEF In the light of the tragedies happening around our country and world, I felt compelled to share some words of comfort to all of us who feel overwhelmed with sadness, perplexities, and grief. I wrote on one of my sisters, Karen’s Facebook page, a prayer for the families and community of Sutherland, Texas and thought about the tragic killing in New York City just a week ago. Because of my…
BEHOLD THE LAMB’S WIFE Copyright © 2017 by Tresca S. Grannum Who is this I see walking down the aisle Adorned in white with shimmering light so glowing Draped in pearls, diamonds, pure white so Holy A crown of gold on her head, her train is flowing Walking beside her a man, clothed in glory, with a breastplate on, Saying, “The Word of God” “Who is she?” I asked, a woman so worthy? Then a voice whispered, she is…
THE WALKING DEAD-MADE ALIVE Ephesians 2:1-5 (Amplified) And you [He made ALIVE when you] were [spiritually] dead and separated from Him because of your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you once walked. You were following the ways of this world [influenced by this present age], in accordance with the prince of the power of the air (Satan), the spirit who is now at work in the disobedient [the unbelieving, who fight against the purposes of God]. 3 Among these [unbelievers] we…
MORE GRACE In our last blog, we discovered the extraordinary ‘Gift of Submission’ as witnessed in the life of our Lord Jesus Christ. We learned as we submit to the Lord in every circumstance, by agreeing with Him and declaring from our hearts, “Not my will, but Your Will be done,” this proclamation allows us to carry out the will and purposes our Father have designed in our lives. We also learned the importance of yielding to, turning to, giving…
THE GIFT OF SUBMISSION In today’s blog, I want to share with you an important gift given to us by our Father. It is a gift our Lord Jesus used over and over again during His journey on the earth. It is the most profound, yet simple gift, we can use which will ALWAYS fulfill the Father’s purposes in our lives. Did you hear what I just said? We can ALWAYS carry out our Father’s plans for our lives…
ONE DAY CLOSER TO HOME Copyright © 2017 by Tresca S. Grannum I can’t wait to go home! Remember how the sun shined through the green lush trees all around And the laughter of the angels filled the air with their sound. Remember how we played with our Papa the whole day through And our Lord guided us through His pastures, where the skies were so blue. Remember watching the Elders as they worshipped around the…

OUR ONENESS WITH THE FATHER AND EACH OTHER In light of the circumstances of disunity and division which are vying for our attention through the media, my heart was overwhelmed with hurt and sadness. Our Lord Jesus died and sacrificed His life for the world, not for a country. His love and compassion is for ALL tongues, tribes, and nationalities. Our Lord died for PEOPLE. Our Lord Loves PEOPLE. He came to heal and restore liberty and freedom to…
