I sat and watched my ex in-laws yesterday who have been married to one another for 61 years.  Sometimes you look at a couple who have been married that long and you are blessed by the love that has endured for so many years.  You wonder how they could of stay married to the same person for so long, through all the ups and downs and trials of life and still love each other. Instead, what I witness when I watch them interact is an inability to have a conversation without spewing years of unmet expectations and disappointments onto each other.  A couple who has the inability to share a simple conversation without getting angry at the other person.  I see that life has eroded this relationship and literally driven a wedge between them.  Instead of blissfully enjoying their final years together and showing love towards one another, there are conversations that end in frustration and angry words and ultimately separation.  There is a coldness that exists in the r...

Watching the news lately it doesn’t take much to realize, even if you don’t read the Bible or even believe in God that we are in some dark times.  It’s easy to wonder what is happening to the world and if God is even present and watching all this.  We might even ask where are you God?  Well, I see that He is very real and very present and that He is doing exactly what many have asked Him to do – which is back off.  Many have become disgruntled in the world, even in the Church and unknowingly have denied His existence or that His power is greater against the darkness.  They have lost hope in the goodness of God.  Many in the church go through the motions of going to Church but don’t really exercise their faith or even believe in the power of God anymore.  Something very similar happened a long time ago in the Bible as well during Moses leadership and the time of wandering through the desert to the promise land. In the story in Numbers 21 starting in ver...

I attended a healing and deliverance training conference lead by Bill Perkins at the end of November 2015. At the end of the conference I believe the Lord gave me the following prophetic word regarding the Body of Christ. I actually received a word very similar to this one but it was ten years ago, I will have to see if I can find it. Laura Sterling November 30, 2015  The sleeping giant is waking up. You want revival it's coming - a great anointing like you've never seen before. Prepare your camps because as the sleeping wake up, as they take their first breath they will need help, they will need, Holy Spirit medicine, they will need to be healed. Many are already awake and aware and have received personal revival in their own lives. They will be the Holy Spirit medics to take care of the awakened, the sick and the almost dead. You need to keep equipping others as they are set free. There will be many outside the body who will come also. You will need to nurse them also. It is ...

While cleaning my place up on the weekend I came across a piece of paper I had written a Word that I got from the Lord during Worship one morning at Hillcrest Church in Medicine Hat, last summer. I thought I would share cuz it's a good one! Be blessed and be ready! Many in the body are being cleansed right now. Know that it's part of a bigger plan, press in and keep going don't give up! Laura August 16, 2015 - The Lord said to me: I am bringing Christians out of the darkn ess. I am revealing hidden sin and bringing it into the light. I am purifying the bride for the day is near... ~Laura Sterling - Narrow Gate Traveller Ministries~ Mathew 24:42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour whe...

2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV) For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. Ive realized lately that so many of my choices in life have been made because I was afraid. Fear is a powerful spiritual force but fear can be overcome by an even stronger spiritual force called FAITH! The Bible says God did not give us a spirit of fear, that fear comes from the devil. God in his wisdom did give us a fear instinct, which he uses to protect us. It's like a warning sign that something isn't right, our job is to discern carefu lly the difference between a spirit of fear, a binding fear and the fear that is programmed in us to keep us safe, our fight or flight response really.  For so many years I've confused these two types of fear. What I've learned is this, if you face your fears instead of running from them, they will actually reveal a lot about what is really going on and will show you the necessary step to activate your FAITH! So today,...

A Prayer For Repentant Hearts: "The principality over a region or city is "elected" by the hearts and actions of the people in that region." John Paul Jackson Today l pray for God to change the hearts, minds and actions of people in our regions, especially in the body of Christ. Lord remind us that we do not battle against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers of darkness in this dark world and that we must do battle in our prayer closets, not in a boardroom or public forum. Help us to  see that sometimes when we think we are standing up for righteousness it is often seen as judgement because its coming out of a mouth that has an unclean heart and what is said is not meant to heal but to harm others. Lord help us to clean up our own hearts before condemning the hearts of a lost generation. Lord you have said this generation will become very dark before you return, but that the gates of hell shall not prevail. Therefore, Lord help us to be healed and...

Prayer of Surrender by: Laura Sterling Oh Lord Jesus, I give you my body, my soul; my wealth, my fame, my stature, all that I am. I give you those that I love; my friends, my family; all my hopes and my dreams. My freedom, my life. Use me and all that is mine as you desire. I am no longer mine, but yours. Claim me as your rightful bride. Thank you Lord, for keeping me in your care, and for loving me as your child. Thank you for fighting for me when I face life’s battles; healing me when I am wounded,  and restoring me when I feel crushed.
