Recently one of our Pastors started a Bible Study at our Church. The topic was ‘Spiritual Gifts”. I went and was pleasantly surprised when we each got a questionnaire to fill out to help us determine what Spiritual Gifts God has given us. Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to … Read more
I go to an Apostolic Church – Janesville Apostolic Ministries. We believe that God still speaks today through His people. We follow the Bible on how to hear from God: “What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything … Read more
Every Friday night I get to play music with my husband at Church. We have a weekly SOAK praise and worship time where we read God’s Word and sing to Him. This week I chose the topic of “Blessed is the Man.” Little did I know, there are over 2600 instances in the Bible where … Read more
Somedays it’s just hurts. God knows. He saw it. And He said, “Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave the way open for God’s wrath [and His judicial righteousness]; for it is written [in Scripture], “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.” – Romans 12:8 AMP Make the wrong things right Jesus, amen. Great … Read more
Here is the message Pastor Bob Rasmussen, my husband, shared last Sunday. It includes many videos that show what the American Church has become. It is sad, it is pathetic in some ways. It certainly is NOT what Jesus asked us to do. Lord, let this be a wakeup call to all of your children … Read more

It’s also the act of withholding punishment that someone deserves. God shows us mercy when he provided a way for us to be reunited … Read more
There are times in my life where I just have to wait. Waiting for answers, waiting for healing, waiting for victory. I am free in the spirit, but bound in the body. Every day I struggle with back and hip problems. It’s been a long time since I have slept through the night. The heating … Read more
Pastor Bob Rasmussen of Janesville Apostolic Ministries shares the Word on the power of God’s Presence with the Holy Spirit. You can read the full sermon here: Presence
I am learning to be still and listen to God. I close my eyes and calm my spirit and wait. Why? Because God promises that He will renew my strength: “But those who wait on the LordShall renew their strength;They shall mount up with wings like eagles,They shall run and not be weary,They shall walk and not faint.” – … Read more
There are times I need to walk by faith, not by sight. By sight this body is getting older and has more problems than I care to list. However, by faith I am dancing in the Spirit with the Lord all day. I have learned not to give much time talking about my infirmities. The … Read more
Early mornings are a great time to hear from God. Probably ’cause I haven’t had any coffee yet, so He knows I won’t talk much! Sometimes I ask God what I should write about. I really need His words, not mine to touch people. This morning He reminded me of the woman at the well. … Read more
