Lamp Keepers

Those looking for spiritual rejuvenation will find Encounter Ministries' retreats, including women's and men's weekend retreats and an annual marriage retreat in Branson, Missouri in November, to be truly enriching. If you'd like to participate but don't want to go alone, I'm more than happy to connect you with others or join you myself.

This Saturday, join us for Lamp Keepers as Hannah Behrman shares her personal testimony of God's impact on her life. If you're new to our gatherings, I invite you to experience the encouragement and inspiration that comes from hearing the stories of God's presence in our lives. It's an excellent way to kick-start your weekend, and I'm consistently amazed at how God speaks through the testimonies of these remarkable women. When circumstances seem insurmountable, scripture reminds us that 'The things which are impossible with man are possible with God' (Luke 18:27). If you're facing a seemingly hopeless situation, I encourage you to surrender it to God, for nothing is impossible with Him.

Ten women waited. Ten lamps burned. All looked ready.
But when midnight came, the difference was revealed—not in the light, but in the oil.

The lamp is what people see. The oil is what God sees.
To the world, they all appeared prepared. But God looked deeper—into the quiet places, the unseen devotion, the faith built when no one was watching.

This parable isn’t about looking spiritual. It’s about being ready. It’s about the prayers prayed in secret, the obedience that costs something, the love that remains when the room is empty and the wait is long.

Don’t live just to shine before people. Live to be ready for Him. Keep your oil full—because when the Bridegroom comes, it won’t be appearances that open the door, but a heart that stayed faithful in the waiting. 🤍🙏🏻
