SPIRITUAL SPRING CLEANING

Tomorrow marks the first day of spring and I am here for it. Fall is my favorite season, but spring is a very close second. I love watching the earth come alive again. I love seeing the trees begin to bud, the grass turn green, butterflies floating by, and all the colors of beautiful flowers growing. It is glorious!

As springtime approaches, many of us do a spring cleaning of our home. We get the windows washed, the deck cleaned up, and all that deep cleaning to prepare ourselves for warmer weather. Last week my husband and I cleaned all the closets and began cleaning the garage. It feels so good to get things cleaned up for spring and summer.


But what about our spiritual life? Does that need some spring cleaning? Here are a five ways you can do a spiritual spring cleaning this year.

WEEKLY BLESSINGS {3.17.25}

Grandchildren are the crown of the elderly,
and the pride of children is their fathers.
Proverbs 17:6 CSB

While I do not consider myself elderly, I love this verse in Proverbs. My husband and I have been blessed with five grandchildren and they are definitely our crown. Our newest grandbaby arrived over the weekend and we certainly feel blessed by God.

What is something you are thanking God for today?

WHEN GOD TELLS YOU SOMETHING THAT MAKES NO SENSE


As the crowd was pressing in on Jesus to hear
God’s word, he was standing by Lake Gennesaret.
He saw two boats at the edge of the lake; the
fishermen had left them and were washing their
nets. He got into one of the boats, which belonged
to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from the
land. Then He sat down and was teaching the
crowds from the boat. When He had finished
speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep
water and let down your nets for a catch.”
Master,” Simon replied, “we’ve worked hard all
night long and caught nothing. But
if You say so, I’ll let down the nets.”
Luke 5:1-5 CSB

In Luke, we see Simon Peter and other fishermen who had been fishing all night, yet, they hadn't caught anything. While I am not into fishing, my husband and sons are and I know that fishing all night without a catch is disappointing. Especially when it is your means of support, as it likely was for these men.


When Jesus told Simon to let down his nets, Simon said, "We've worked hard all night long and caught nothing." For most, that would have been the end of it. We've fished all night with nothing, we are done. There is nothing here. But for Simon, it was different. Simon continued on by saying, "But if You say so, I'll let down the nets." Simon obeyed Jesus even though it made no sense to him.

I AM LIVING PROOF

Growing up in a Pentecostal church, I experienced many revivals. It was at a revival that I was healed from asthma, a couple years later at another revival I was filled with the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues, and at another revival as a teenager is where I was called into ministry. At revivals, some under a tent and some in the church building, I witnessed many healings, reconciliations, and miracles.

Today I want to share with you the movie I Am Living Proof. I Am Living Proof is a compelling look into the lives of three individuals who face an extraordinary life-altering event, through revival.

Bri battles an illness that’s deteriorating her body. For seven years, she’s caught in a cycle of failed medical treatments and excruciating pain, pushing her toward assisted suicide.

Steve’s life spirals out of control after a workplace accident leaves him dependent on opioids. Now jobless and desperate, he attempts to end it all with an overdose.

Mary, mom to five, faces debilitating pain from a spinal injury that leaves her unable to care for her children—until a vivid dream sparks an unexpected turning point.

In Colorado Springs 2022, Bri, Steve, and Mary are all about to experience a life altering encounter. They are about to experience God. Evangelist Mario Murillo has spent his life sharing God’s love and healing power when his old-school-style tent revival happens to be in town. Bri, Steve, and Mary have their beliefs challenged and find a glimmer of hope in their darkest hours.

I Am Living Proof is the powerful documentary of these stories. In theaters March 9th, 10th, and 12th only, you definetly will want to get your tickets now. To find out more and get your tickets, click HERE.
