On The Verge Of The Breakthrough

This is dwelling is with me this morning so I know this is important and I am going to release it into the atmosphere, because some of us are on the verge of the breakthrough. Genesis 12 :1 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. 2 .“I will make you into a great nation,and I will bless you;I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you. Sometimes you have to leave where you are to get where you need to be in God even if you are among your kindred. Bless those that choose to remain where you have been in the name of the Lord, but still leave because sometimes you have to separate and just press your way into the promise. There is a promised land for you in God, a land of peace and prosperity but you must head towards your promise today and leave the naysayers alone you obey God. Why would you sit in wilderness until you perish, when the world is waiting for you rise up and walk into your promise. So claim the promises of God, and step out on faith because He is about to bring you out of what is familiar to bring you into what is destined for His glory.

When You Are A Willing Vessel

Don't take it personal you are just the vessel that God is using and if they don't heed the warning then you go in peace and continue to pray for them Luke 10:16 "He who listens to you listens to me; he who rejects you rejects me; but he who rejects me rejects Him who sent me." Ask God for perspective about your purpose and to reveal Himself on the inside of you before you go others so you understand why you were sent. Because when you are a child of God, then you have to be afraid of going before people. When you are obedient about why you were sent then God takes on full responsibility to provide increase and do all that He said that He would do because He cannot lie. God will do the work in them you are just there to plant the seeds for the Lord to bring the increase. You need to know that your divine purpose for being present is greater then you at that point and time, so that you stay in position to do the will of the Father.

The Power Of Knowing Your Position

Don't take it personal you are just the vessel that God is using and if they don't heed the warning then you go in peace and continue to pray for them Luke 10:16 "He who listens to you listens to me; he who rejects you rejects me; but he who rejects me rejects Him who sent me." Ask God for perspective about your purpose and to reveal Himself on the inside of you before you go others so you understand why you were sent. Because when you are a child of God, then you have to be afraid of going before people. When you are obedient about why you were sent then God takes on full responsibility to provide increase and do all that He said that He would do, because He cannot lie. God will do the work in them you are just there to plant the seeds for the Lord to bring the increase. You need to know that your divine purpose for being present is greater then you at that point and time so that you stay in position to do the will of the Father.

The Blessed Assurance Of The Scriptures

The scriptures are your blessed assurance today and it is better insurance, for it is your coverage from the Most High God. Psalm 91:1 He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Oh what blessed assurance when Jesus is mine, because nothing can happen to you any day of your life that you and God cannot handle. So whatever it is today, trust in Lord, learn to lean and depend on Jesus for He cares for you and will of God WILL NOT take you where the grace of God cannot keep you. So I declare the spirit of peace and God's grace is sufficient and He is covering you with His divine protection in midst of the storm. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

God's Prescription For Peace

God has a prescription for peace in a troubled world.Today is the day to get your mind right and take on the mind of Christ! Every weapon of mass distraction that is coming against you is to interfere with your righteous mind. But you are not a garbage can, so quit allowing people to fill your heart and mind with trash and don't YOU fill yourself with trash either. There is absolutely a principle at work about being guilty by association, because the Bible says as a man thinks in his heart so is he. Proverbs 24:7 So how you deal with yourself and how you allow others to deal with you...hear no evil, speak no evil and see no evil... feed your spirit properly and you will be far less likely to manifest evil. Philippians 4:8 King James Version (KJV) 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. If you have been thinking, hearing, speaking or manifesting wrong thoughts, today is a good a good day to change you mind..blessings!

A Word From The Lord Will Remain

I got a prophesy years ago, that keeps coming back to me these days.. "you shall be as one who cries for the world because your strong enough to cry for so many!" I didn't understand it then and it scared me being young and naive, but I think I know now what it really means now. Funny how things come around in time, because I find myself crying more and more these days... I find my spirit grieved for so many some I know and some I do not! But I do this I am glad that I am tender for blessed they who are merciful for they shall obtain mercy...Amen! Good night and God bless!~

How You Experience Real Love

There is coming a time where your love will be tested but when it is tried in the the fire and the fire is coming shall your love come forth as pure. Anything can seem pure when it really isn't under any pressure and not being put to the test! But God said that the world would know us by our love so does the world know you by that standard. Romans 12:9 Don't just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Know that if it God is in it then will be good because there is not any evil in God. Micah 6:8 For He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. I encourage you to love today....love with all your might and when you can longer do it on your own then ask the Savior to help you. Remember to love God, love yourself and love one another for God is love.

January 21, 2013-Remembering The Dream

As we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day let us not forget the movement and his message of peaceful resistance and non violence in what has become an increasingly violent world. Amazing what the children of God have become, and why would do some feel like we need more guns when God shall thou shall NOT kill. Exodus 20:13 The LORD said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground. Genesis 4:10 Whenever there is blood spilled God is there and it demands justice! From the Civil Rights movement until now, there has been much shedding of innocent blood let us not continue in way of violence and remember that God is just and vengeance belongs to the Lord. The Dream is isn't dead but not yet fully realized in our nation either but there is hope in God. Even more ironic is our President, is continuing the legacy of non violence that was started in the Civil Rights movement. Our President is going through his 2nd inauguration on the day that we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. now how poignant is that, I feel that Dr, King would be so proud. Dr. King the prophet that he was had said to Maya Angelou proceeding his death that there would be black President in the next  40+ yrs and it is so!  Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and our President Barack Obama are living proof and a constant reminder that you don't overcome evil with evil but you overcome evil with good!

My Testimony

I sat in church crying inside today absolutely screaming in fact...I know that what you do acknowledge you cannot heal and what you do not forgive then holds you captive from forever being able to move forward. My pastor spoke in the alter call about wounds today and I was disobedient when I knew that I was wounded. Church hurt in fact, married to a minister s "man of God" abusing me then watching him go up into pulpit to preach was sickening. There was a root of bitterness there because of the hurt and shame of the situation. Then seeking help from a church and pastor and absolutely nobody acknowledging my pain. In my heart I promised that would NEVER involve myself closely with a church or a "man of God" again! But God is healing and He does all thing well and my life as a mister's wife has a purpose.  I was wrong and I asked God for forgiveness because bitterness is a blessing blocker for sure. God promised me that I would healed without scars, so I asked no wounds Lord, He no not only no wounds but no scars to remind me of my past, just perfect healing, thank you Lord!

Making The Most Of My Time

Sitting here thinking about my life, I don't know how long my longevity will carry me, but know I want to live while I am here and I have most certainly become legacy driven!

Getting Back To The Great Commission

The Great Commission is all about the sheep, so when we say that we love Jesus do we take into account what that really means? What we are going to do to heal and feed God's sheep lest stumble and go astray everywhere that you look God's sheep are scattered and God's heart is broken. I am here to let you know that the heart of Great Shepherd is in the proper care of the sheep, so if your heart is in God then you have some work to do concerning the sheep. John 21:!5 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?" "Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my lambs. 16. "Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me?" He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep. 17. "The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my sheep.

Good Morning....God Morning

Good morning, Whatever it is He does it well. God is doing something so special right now so don't miss the divine shift. Seasons change so when will you, don't get stuck in a form of godilness because God is calling you higher but will you answer. These are days of the end of time so you must be seeking God while He can yet be found. Psalm 24:6 Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, O God of Jacob [ Selah!] 7. Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you everlasting doors, that the King of glory may come in. 8. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.Lift up your heads, O you gates; lift them up, you everlasting doors, that the King of glory may come in 10 Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty--he is the King of glory. Selah

Play Time Is Over

God isn't a toy so quit with playing with God because either He is your Lord or He isn't, but quit playing cause playing is dangerous it could cost you your life & most importantly your soul!

God In His Saving Grace.....

REMEMBER sin is only good for a season and after that comes sudden destruction. The same God who loves you is the one who make us all accountable for our actions yes God is love but we need start teaching that God is a righteous judge. Just because God is love doesn't mean that he will tolerate continual disobedience and sin, not to teach God's love in balance with accountability for actions is dangerous. God balances His love with correction and His Wordis is His correction and His correction is love to save you from yourself and sin. There is a big difference you, me and all of us, not being perfect God that we are but dust and practicing sin with a continious disobedience to God, so understand the difference and REPENT!  Romans 6:1 Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? 2. By no means! We died to sin; so how can we live in it any longer? I love you to life, Bri

You Can Soar Over Your Situation

I woke up completely exhausted this morning, but still thank God for waking for me up this morning we have so much to be grateful for.That in right midst of our weary dry places God still has times of refreshing for us if allow him to restore us because He can. So don't worry about being weary but cast your cares upon the Lord for He cares for you. Isaiah 40:30 Even the young grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31.But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. I encourage you to see yourself soaring like an eagle over your situation today because whatever it is that you need God's got it.

The Destiny That Is On Your Life

God's favor doesn't always get you where you want to go but it always gets you to where you need to be!

When Seasons Change

Here is the most important and beautiful thing about a season is that they change, so no matter good or bad things are in your life right now you still have the freedom to move forward. Because God's timing will most certainly bring every chapter to a conclusion. 2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. There is such bondage staying the same when God is trying transform your life whatever is right now it can always be better there is always room for improvement. Spiritual maturity is being to able be still hear from God about when the seasons change and will they will. I woke with this song in my spirit this morning..."Lord what ever your doing in this season Lord don't do it without me".

Your Problem Isn't People It's A Spirit

I am saying this in the most loving way possible but some of you need to get your life! Because there isn't anything wrong with Pensacola but spirits travel and some really bad ones have taken hold here. You tell me whatever it is that you think is "wrong" in being here and I will tell you that it is a spiritual problem and problem is that those same spirits exist everywhere. You are so worried about people's personallities when you are really in a spiritual battle with powers and principalities (evil spirits). P.S. If you are not a part of the solution then you are probably a part of the problem! I love you to life, Aubria

The Brakethrough

This Word got on me yesterday at work and oh my I knew that it was powerful! Acts 16:25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Some of us are preparing ourselves for our SUDDENLY right now by praising him in advance because anybody can praise once the battle is over but can you praise God right now in the middle of a mess! A praise advance produces an advanced breakthrough so don't you delay on your shout because your prayers and praise will break the shackles right off your life. 26. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. All at once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody's chains came loose. When its dark and and hellish in you life is amazing what a song praise will do but I do know this that prayer and praising is still setting the captive free. Some people around you need to let listen to your praise until can their own that so that when the earthquake comes you won't be the only one set free.

Becoming Relationship Material

I'm going to bed in just a little bit but since this is heavily on my heart I have to share. Some of us are just NOT relationship material some married people included and here is why God said to love Him with ALL heart mind, soul and strength and love your neighbor as yourself. Now how dare some of us deceive ourselves in praying for your" Boaz "and you know that your not whole yet and loving yourself the way that you should. How are you going to give love to someone else when you have not been able to give that love and respect to yourself first, there is order even in love. It takes two whole people to make a whole relationship yet many want to bring ourselves into a relationship in bits and pieces now you know that you can't truly come to anyone like that but God! God is the healer and a good man can only help you if your already engaged in the process of healing. Your Boaz will be a blessing but he will still be a human being only capable of so much so he is going to have to be able go to God and get his healing too. SN: If your whining, unproductive and unfaithful your blessing WILL NOT be coming to you because you are out of your place... Boaz saw Ruth because she was in the field she was busy being faithful over God had set hands to do!

Faith Is Trusting In God When You Can't Understand

Many times we want to understand everything going on at the moment when all that we really need do or know is to trust in the Lord! Don't caught up in your own understanding your finite mind cannot comprehend God's infinite wisdom so it best to wait on God to move. Just like in the navigation of a ship if God hasn't told to change direction then you stay the course. Because the course was designed for you to arrive at your destination both safety and on time. Proverbs 3: 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. That is how your life goes from upside down to right side up again your consistent faith in God.

Then Suddenly

I feel like I am in a "then suddenly" season where their is so much transition from within, so many relationships and experiences are fading away and other are just being born for me while are others being renewed and strengthen. It like strong current just came along carried away my pain in a complete release I am overwhelmed. If I had only known letting go of the past would be this good for me I would have done it years ago!  Many things that have happened for me before, however it feel the first time now so fresh and healing in its path there is a lot to be said for the process of becoming whole. I am learning a lot about love all over again because I am learning about me now, so amazing what you can experience when you learn to love yourself! I am in such a place of peace and grace, and it is and all of the anticipation and joy without the any anxiety or fear in worrying about what's next, Thank you Lord.

Be Careful What You Say Is God

We need to understand God's word and be careful what we say is God's blessing you because if your "blessing" is based in a lie God didn't do it for He cannot lie, Amen!

I Am Bowing Before My King

I'm bowing before my Lord so that I should know how to stand before anyone and I am bending my knees in prayer so that my head won't bowed down in shame or oppression. 2 Chronicles 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Many of us broken but we are broken before wrong one...proud before God and unyielding in our ways yet fearful and oppressed by man, isn't that ironic. Now God wants to heal you but have humble yourself and ask or forgiveness for sin and then healing comes forth. Your prayer DOES NOT WORK effectively until sin is out of the way God doesn't condone nor bless your mess matter who may have told you that! REPENT then there is forgiveness and deliverance/healing..people of God we must understand God's process of order even in our prayers. Because the point of prayers isn't just to pray but to listen and to yield so that you pray the will of God for your life!

Finding My Purpose In 2013

For my friends this year, I declare that I will patiently progressing and passionately pursuing my life's purpose this year so keep me accountable and keep me in your prayers.

A Monday Morning Message-Be Encouraged

My Monday morning message is not to be upset or envious over what evil accomplishes for in the end evil shall not remain among you it will be cut off. Sometimes it is wise to remain silent for is not good to cast your pearls of wisdom before swine some are foolish and delight in being that way, pray for them and move on. Psalm 37:8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil. 9 For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will have their inheritance. 10 Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.11 But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity. When you know the promises of God then can you pray for your enemies and go in peace for they cannot prevent your prosperity.

The End You And The Beginning Of God

Man limitations are God specialties and sometimes you have to come to the end of yourself to find the beginning of God and the miraculous! 

The Truth Of The Matter Is.....

In this life, the hardest thing is often greatest thing that you can do for yourself long term and isn't always to go away but its often to stay and mature where you are by growing where your planted! 

My Moment Of Clarity-Thank You Lord

My moment of clarity for today is, your don't get blessed with anything greater until u can learn to love yourself where you are on the way to where you need to be!

Miracles In Manifestation On Sunday Morning

God you did you that this morning, you sent the woman of God to speak the word that you gave me this morning. Cause sometime the devil says to me that I don't hear from God and that I should just be quiet. Then came the word "After this you shall see your enemies no more" from Exodus 14:13, CONFIRMATION all I could do was cry and praise God! I have struggled so hard lately and I did not understand why. Then while at the alter for prayer the word came that it was over, it is my year of transformation that God had heard my prayers and seen my tears the change had come. I ate carpet today in church but sometimes you have to get on your face before the king and lay it down. Wooo wee I feel so much better...church was all that today it is always good don't get me wrong, but today just extra I hadn't had church that good in a long time! What a mighty deliverance that come forth, then he preached Luke 10:18 my, my, my when I tell you round goes higher and wrapped it up an alter call for salvation and being filled with the spirit in evidence of speaking in tongues...Service was perfect from start to finish God be glorified. 

If God be For You Who Can Be Against You

Many are affliction of the righteous but the Lord shall deliver them out of the all you in the fight of your life right now but you just stand in God. For some of you, your deliverance is in the house of Lord... press into the presence of God today. Evil is fighting you even in your home right noq to discourage you from coming into the house of Lord break those spirits in Jesus name. I bind the spirit of depression and I decree peace be still in the name of Jesus so that you can ...go forth! Exodus 14:13 Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. 14.The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still." Remember that the battle today is not yours it is the Lord. Don't fear the faces of the people or enemy in your camp just remember if God be for you who can be against you.

The Purpose Of Your Pain

If times are hard for you right now do not curse God because your angry and you will come out better then you were before. Just because it is permitted to come upon you doesn't mean that God caused your pain!   Job 1:8. Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.” 9 “Does Job honor God for nothing?” Satan replied. 10 “Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. 11 But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.” It is easy to honor when things are going well, but if trouble should come then what, will you sill honor God. During mockery, slander, persecution from you so called friends about what the sin is that you may be paying for, people calling you cursed can you still stand for God and say though he slay me yet will I trust Him. You don't even know what your true faith in God is until it is tested, stand and endure in this season and pass your test!

Finding Peace During The Process

We all have struggles and sometimes we lose our peace in the process, but that is why we have brothers and sisters in the faith to encourage and love us to stand with us and most importantly we have God, the glory and the lifter up of our head. See when you know God the fruit of spirit should always be evident and life is always song worth singing. Because you have the attitude of gratitude there is an abundance of blessing in just being grateful! Colossians 3:15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and encourage one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Does this sound like you if not then you need to search your own heart as to why and ask God to give you your joy back!

Don't Go To Bed Angry

In the words of my friend Letta ,"pray before you lay" and by all means don't go to bed angry. God forgives us and nobody hurt you more then we hurt Jesus and God forgives so when will you. I feel like like ending this night with a sincere I love you! I don't hold grudges for the bible says don't let the sun go down on your wrath, because God forbid that you don't make it into tomorrow in order to get it right. It is so hard to rest when your angry some you just need to have a release let it go you feel so much better when you go to bed. Some of us need humble ourselves and apologize cause we know that we are wrong and our pride is the only thing in the way...too much pride will led you to your destruction if your not careful. I love you all enough to tell you a hard truth that an easy lie that won't easy one day. 

When You Discover Who You Really Are

One of your great tasks for being born is to discover why you are here its your purpose for being present. Define yourself by God's Word before the devil steps in to distract your heart and mind from fulfilling its divine purpose. But you cannot change about yourself that which you unwilling to confess, you can't even be honest with God in your prayers until you are honest with yourself. It's new year and importantly a new day so why continue to be in bondage to your "old ways" when what God has in store for you is greater then anything that you have experienced before. Galatians 2:19 For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So I died to the law--I stopped trying to meet all its requirements--so that I might live for God. 20. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. 21. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!" It only when you die law and condemnation and die to your selfish nature that you can live for God with purpose. You can't be good enough to live above the need for grace and mercy but good news is, the will of God will not take where grace of God cannot keep you through Christ.

My Perspective Is New Beginnings In The New Year

I just wanted to say to those in my life in 2012... I am blessed beyond measure and I count each of as a part my blessing. But I declare that I will be a better woman than I was 2012 and I thank you Lord for another chance you didn't give up on me- Philippians 3:13 No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead 14. I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. Everything last year is in the past, I have let it go I am moving forward with God I left it where it belonged behind me. For it taught me what it was there teach I learned and I grew through the good and bad so I have no regrets. But this year isn't going to be about what I want but this is going to be about what God desires for me and order spirit, soul and body=whole. So I didn't make ANY resolutions because they usually lead to lies by placing on ourselves unrealistic expectations, but I did make vows to my Lord and made my requests known to God in prayer. So pray for me as i pray for you, blessings!

Entering Into The House Of The Lord With Praise

As many of you prepare to go into the house of the Lord for the last Sunday of this year, I want leave you with go with God with purpose in mind bless the Lord.  For there is victory in our praise for He inhabits the praises of His people and we are a spiritual people, so we do warfare with our worship. Whatever it is that you are fighting or facing today it is not the people it is a spirit... for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but powers and principalities and spiritual darkness. But remember that we are more than a conqueror through Christ. 103:1 Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits:3 Who forgives all your sins, Who heals all your diseases, 4 Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, 5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. When you look back over the year and the victories won don't forget who enabled you to succeed and bless his holy name.

Mental Health And The Church

We have a desperate need in our society to address mental health and especially in the church which is often taboo. Add to the issue of mental health, race where certain groups especially minorities don't receive or seek the treatment that they so desperately as often as their counterparts. We are shrouded in shame too busy trying keep too many secrets meanwhile we are suffering in silence, but know this dirty wounds can never heal properly so the truth must come out. Counseling is a wonderful tool that can be used, in a safe and therapeutic environment and seeking professional help doesn't make you crazy! But it makes you wise enough know when you need a release of those toxic emotions. Children of God you can be saved and still need to be on medication for your imbalances, chemical, mental, hormonal or otherwise. Don't confuse your spirituality with your possible need for treatment, there such as being so heavenly minded that are no earthly not even to yourself. God is a healer but until have received your healing in manifestation you best option is to be on your medication. I am tired of some in the church insensitivity to those around you metal health needs they are often met with so much judgement and opposition. Also why aren't advocating for more social services, why aren't we talking about mental health so we can then do something about it. This my sincere plea to our society, a call to action rather to help us help our ourselves with God's help and your cooperation!
