Rachel Toland
My name is Rachel. I’m a wife and a mom of two. I have a master’s in counseling from Seminary and worked with at-risk and troubled children and teens for almost ten years. I worked in psychiatric hospitals for children between ages four and seventeen, court room settings and school settings. I’m the daughter of an American and an immigrant from Portugal. I gave my heart to Jesus when I was five, but I didn’t get serious with walking with Him until I was 21, my last semester in college. I was actually getting ready to go into the military, but during that semester, I heard a sermon that challenged us to go on a media fast. I decided that I would give up all movies, magazines, tv shows and only listen to praise and worship music for 30 days. This was one of the first major milestones in my walk with God that took me from being a broken kid with no direction to being able to hear from God as I approached the first major decision as a young adult facing the world for the first time. It was a foundational step in tuning out the world that keeps us distracted from the desires of God’s heart for our lives, keeping us from what God has destined us to become. The journey has been life changing, heart-changing and has even healed relationships within my family that I never thought were possible. We serve a loving, merciful and mighty God and my goal is point you to glimmers of God’s heart that He’s shown me.
Cry Out in Truth
Last year, our Heavenly Father gave a scripture in Isaiah that wound up being a bedrock for a transformational year. It was a scripture that I had never read before, or if I had read it, it never stood out like it did last year. Isn’t it just like the Holy Spirit to...
HOW, WHEN AND WHAT TO PRAY FOR OUR NATION

DONALD TRUMP, THE HIGHWAY OF HOLINESS AND OUR POSSIBLE FUTURE IN AMERICA

HOOKS WEAVE NETS: THE SNARE OF THE TRAPPER EXPOSED
Resentment, fear and bitterness. That’s the hook. Several years ago, when all the gender identity controversy came out, it seemed that the enemy threw a blanket with hooks all over America. The catch was that those hooks only stuck onto those who had bitterness,...
PEACE AND WAR
On May 20th, the Lord woke me up at three a.m. and had me read Jeremiah 22-24. Upon reading that, the Lord gave me this. It’s interesting to note that these protests are in the name of “peace” but there is no peace. The days of Donald Trump are a preview of what it...

WHEN OUR WORLD COMES CRASHING DOWN…
ssdasda After my ex-fiance committed suicide, my world came crashing down. Worshiping God every morning for the months ahead became my lifeline. I just worshiped every day before work, as soon as I got up. This song was one of the songs that got me through that...
INSULTING THE SPIRIT OF FAVOR
It all started with a seemingly harmless joke – a really punny one about Saturday Night Fever, Coronavirus and Stayin’ Alive. It was actually the only joke I even thought to tell because the punch line spoke life, and it didn’t actually make fun of anyone – or...
SELFLESS LOVE: THE ANTIDOTE TO INSECURITY
Repaying centuries-old debts and overcoming insecurities–an odd match made in heaven There have been a very small handful of times that God has put someone in my life that triggers every insecurity inside of me. Let me back up for a minute. When I was in...

Mark Taylor has spoken a lot about the 501 (c)3 establishment for churches. A friend of mine recently shared her journey this year in how she organized her ministry as an un-incorporated non-profit organization that is not a 501(c)3. Below is written by Leah Todd...
DAVID WILKERSON “A HOLY REMNANT”
“There is a remnant that God is raising up. . . “ We watched this after returning from Sukkot! I was shocked as God had me preach on Eli and his two sons! There are several parallels in this message and what God has done in our lives that were too many not to share....
FEAST OF SUKKOT MESSAGE 2019
Love was the manifest presence of God. We had the wonderful privilege of celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles with a group here in OK. I had the honor and privilege to deliver a message to the adults but I got to help put together and teach the 5-11 year old...
THE DIRE STRAITS AND GOD’S NEVER-ENDING FAITHFULNESS
There are times in life where all of our responsibilities beckon all at once and this is usually when reflection is most needed, and a pause is demanded in order to continue to press on. First off, I want to apologize for my almost deafening silence. There are times...
