Now … Later … Yes … Not

December 28, 2017January 14, 2019 by Janet Eriksson, posted in Intercessor Boot Camp, Prayer, Praying for Others, Relationship with God

A fellow intercessor and I were just talking about how easy it is to feel schizophrenic when listening to God and praying for people. If you're an intercessor, you can probably relate to this feeling. Not just intercessors, either. Any follower of Christ can feel this way. It's that question we all have when God … Continue reading Now … Later … Yes … Not

Jesus Has It Covered

October 26, 2017June 20, 2018 by Janet Eriksson, posted in Relationship with God

I love object lessons in spirituality. Recently, a friend needed to move her office and several of us pitched in. She has a giant painting of Jesus on her wall. This was painted prophetically during a worship service and it is a stunning portrait. It's also hard to move and hang on the wall. In … Continue reading Jesus Has It Covered

Why Aren’t We Desperate?

I was talking yesterday with a friend who just returned from Uganda. She spent several weeks with a neighborhood ministry that had requested inner healing prayer. As she shared about the desperate situation and the hunger in the people's hearts, she also lamented that she seldom finds that kind of hunger here at home. We … Continue reading Why Aren’t We Desperate?

Talking to the King

Have you seen the movie, Anna and the King? There is a great scene that reminds me of the authority we have in intercessory prayer. Because of Jesus, we have access to the throne room of God: "Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, … Continue reading Talking to the King

God, Please Help Me Find It

September 25, 2017July 1, 2018 by Janet Eriksson, posted in Life of Prayer, Prayer, Relationship with God

I have a friend whose family lives a rich prayer life every day. They pray over their children and grandchildren each morning ... pray for safety when one of their kids is out driving in the rain ... sit quietly with God and let Him plan their day ... ask God to remind them of … Continue reading God, Please Help Me Find It

God or Gadgets?

July 5, 2017July 1, 2018 by Janet Eriksson, posted in Prayer, Relationship with God

I love reading history. In the summertime I'm always drawn to the Pioneers and the Old West. As I was reading the adventures of a wagon train, I wondered - Are we really so much better off now? I read about a tornado that came up on the wagon train. Nowadays, I have electronic gadgets … Continue reading God or Gadgets?

Adjust the Picture

August 3, 2016August 26, 2018 by Janet Eriksson, posted in Prayer, Relationship with God

I have many reasons to be discouraged. I have just come through a long and difficult season, and I'm still going through it. You may be able to relate to this as well. God certainly understands and His heart hurts for the discouraging times we go through. But I can't find anywhere in the Bible … Continue reading Adjust the Picture

The reality is - we've got it. God's undivided attention. Every minute of every day. Amazing, isn't it? The creator of the universe is focused totally on you, right this minute. And every minute. He is always here, and you have His undivided attention at all times. The problem comes because we are not always … Continue reading Would You Like God’s Undivided Attention?

Remember What God Has Done

June 2, 2016August 26, 2018 by Janet Eriksson, posted in Prayer, Relationship with God

God has done amazing things, right? If I ask you to list all of them, you wouldn't be able to fit them into a notebook. If you really stop to think, you will know He has done too many things to name. I am sure some things are written on your heart in such a … Continue reading Remember What God Has Done
