Praise The Lord

Psalms 112:1 Praise the LORD. Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who finds great delight in his commands. Some of us are still living on the blessings and promises that God gave to grandma and them to bless us. So that when we should have been cut off in our sins and our wrongdoings but grace and mercy kept us because that is what covenant does it covers. You can break any generational curse off of yourself and children and instill a blessing and it all starts with as for me and my house we will serve the Lord. We should thank God those of us who have had righteous parents and grandparents, who showed us the way by praying for us when we were too foolish and all caught up to pray for ourselves but God is a good God yes he is! Parents don't stop praying for your children because someone was praying for you to come to Jesus so be not weary in well doing. God gave you promise in His Word 2. His children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. One day your soul will look back and wonder how you it made over!

You Shall Rejoice In Your Portion

You have been troubled but you are so close to catching a Word to trouble your troubles yes deliverance is near to you today even in your mouth. That you shall receive your inheritance because God made you promises. I have been finding saying Lord I thank you for my portion more and more especially since the year came in and didn't even know the power of what I was saying till I read this scripture. A friend posted this scripture on Sunday, thanks Marcus Dean. God used you to bless the socks off me when my spirit caught this Word. God asked me now do you understand why you have been thanking Me for your portion... why you been praying, praising and pressing because you are about to walk right on into the possession of your portion which is the promises of God to you. Isaiah 61:7 Instead of your shame you shall have double honor, And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double; Everlasting joy shall be theirs.

Being A True Christian

This is the primary problem with Christians and in fact the world... we have a tendency to want to sweep around someone's else front door before we clean up our own house, and how dare we try to do so there is no honor in that! When you try to do that it won't work because our life will be in the same mess that it was until with God's help, we clean our life up before others and therefore our example. We often want to compare and contrast our sin to that of our brother or sister, but sin is sin like wrong is wrong no more and no less just a different sin but today is a good day to get it right between God, ourselves and each other as brothers and sisters. Matthew 7:3. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

The Time To Put Away Childish Things

I Corinthians 13:11- When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. Some of us need stop having some of these same old immature conversations for it truly stunted our growth even Christians. It would help us in our quest to grow up, because its comes time in your journey when you should reach maturity both spiritually and emotionally. To able to conduct yourself in responsible manner as an adult with the rights and responsibilities of the position. Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age but maturity that is why we can have children wise beyond their years among us while having old fools as well. Furthermore, you when you become parent you forfeit the right to be childish and selfish, and no it's isn't all about what you want your primary responsibility before God as parent is to raise your children. But also when you become an adult whatever you didn't get from your parents, you need to forgive them and let go of childish things like grudges and go on with your life. Because whatever you do from that point on your sins are on yourself and are no longer those of your parents.

When It Is Time To Move Forward

Good morning, time for us ALL to Spring Forward the time is now a hour earlier then it was when you went to bed last night!!!!! To many of us, it seems like we are in a holding pattern at this point between the place where you were and where you want to be, but rejoice anyhow because praise still works and advanced praise can produce your breakthrough. So whatever it is that you going through right now, be encouraged remember that the key word here is through which means that this too shall pass. Acts 16:25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose. Now what if everybody chains came loose where you are right now wherever that is true praise has the power to do that...so keep praising because you don't know who God will use you to be a blessing to or who will be a blessing to you! Who you'll be standing right beside in need of deliverance and you don't know who your praise is going to set free today even if your praise only delivers from your bondage that is enough. Rejoice+praise=breakthrough Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!

God's Word As A Medicine

This text kept dwelling with me while in church and then for the rest of the day yesterday so I finally had to meditate on it last night...I hope it blesses you the way it did me! I think the reason that so resonates with me is because it is where I am in my spirit and captures the cry of my heart. God was helping me understand to myself where I was in the Spirit a true balm for my pain. Jeremiah 17:14 Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise. 15 They keep saying to me, Where is the word of the Lord? Let it now be fulfilled!” Jeremiah heart was crying out to the Lord in a time of trouble. The part that has really captured me is: They keep saying to me, Where is the word of the Lord?, many will question your motivation to believe God, because they desire rob you of your faith when what you hope for is deferred at the point of manifestation. But let NOW be fulfilled, because you held on to your NOW faith because faith must always be active it must be always be now even during times of trouble. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Lord I thank you and I praise you for my NOW season... In Jesus name Amen!

You Are The Church It's Not The Building

Know that wherever you are right now and whatever it is that you are going though, if you are calling on the name of the Lord then God has got you. Now it's great if you can be in church this morning but if can't well you need to know that power of God and the Word isn't relegated to the building it's on inside of you. It is about you and God and what is more important for you to know is to know that you are the church and the church is inside of you. So as child of God I got Jesus with me everywhere that I go and I have everything that I need. 6 This poor man called, and the Lord heard him he saved him out of all his troubles. Salvation is near you today in your mouth and so is deliverance for he hears the cries of his people. 7 The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. Even as I am awake this morning and alive and well I realize that God has allowed to taste of life and your goodness one more time. 8 Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. You tried everything else and it failed you every time I dare you to try Jesus 9 Fear the Lord, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing

The Lord Is Worthy Of The Praise

Saturday March 2-I want to say good morning to each of you, God is good all the time and all the time God is good. John 1:16 From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. When was the last time that you thought about the goodness of Jesus and all the ways that God has blessed you...just the fact that you're breathing means that is life flowing through right now you so God is being good to you, beyond measure.  Because life itself is a blessing, because it is an opportunity to do better in this moment than in the one before think about that for a moment.  When you think the about goodness of Jesus sometimes you need lift up your blessed hands and lift your up voice and give God some spontaneous praise and worship impromptu.. for out of you belly shall flow rivers of living water so let the river flow today. Praise God through everything in this world brings both the good and bad for God has loved and blessed you through them both.

When You Go To Church Go in God

Sunday March 3-Your purpose is not just go to the church or wherever it is that going to worship this morning out of ritual, tradition or obligation, but it is to know your purpose for being there.  You need to both get and to give what you came there for in God.  Because as child of God you must know that you have a charge to keep and God to glorify so don't forget your purpose. Whatever it is that you do today do it glorify God and not to pacify the people. Your best yet deliverance yet is when delivered from people what they think and have to say about you and you just obey God. 2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 And we all, who with unveiled faces behold the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. May you be where the Spirit of the Lord is today, I declare that every bondage be broken and every captive set free spirit, soul and body. IN Jesus name...Amen!

Matthew 7 and Why Everyone Should Study It

Monday March 4-Good morning, first let me say that this Matthew 7...has some real character building themes going on in it that we all should take heed to and the Word is working well with me! Just because I am spiritual, saved- trying my best in service to the Lord doesn't mean that I don't have struggles or that my struggles are a contradiction of my character or my faith. 1. “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Therefore grace and mercy is always good and if you haven't needed any lately just wait a little while because we all will be in the need for forgiveness whether it's God's, ourselves or someone's else and possibly you'll be in the need all three. So I'm asking God allow me to see myself, for maybe the first time, because it never as good or bad as we think and its easy for us to see the faults of everyone else and so hard for us to see ourselves until life puts our sins in the spotlight. But when you really see yourself you'll find no room in your heart to point the finger at others to judge them or you'll see all the other fingers that you have pointing at back at you.

The Power of Rest In Your Restoration

Tuesday, March 5-First let me say that prayer and a good night's rest does wonders cause I feel so much better this morning then I did when I went to bed last night. Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. I am learning that you must allow your peace to remain during painful parts of your process and that is by trusting in God for what is right for you in due season. When God says not now it doesn't usually mean never, however we have the tendency to become impatient when life is teaching us how to wait on the Lord. Yet the war is seemingly always waging within our souls but God said that we could have peace, but the spiritual battles are won or lost first in battlefields of our mind. We must know how to win and we win when we fight the good fight of faith. 8. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything be excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.

The Purpose Of Wisdom And the People in Our Lives

Wednesday March 6-People come into your for many reasons to add, multiply, subtract or to divide who are you today in the lives of that you meet!  Proverbs 1:2 The purpose of a proverb is to teach people wisdom and discipline, to help them understand the insights of the wise. Association brings assimilation of behavior, so who are you allowing yourself to be connected to because your character will become as those that you deal closely with, so be careful. If we are to be among the wise then we must ask ourselves, why are certain people in our circle of friends are you there to lift them up or they there bring you down because if they are there for the right reasons then they should have something godly to add to you and vice versa. 3. Their purpose is to teach people to live disciplined and successful lives, to help them do what is right, just, and fair. 5. Then let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance 7. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. if you will honor God then God will honor you and exalt among the heathen in due season. At a time when many are foolish among us I am asking God for wisdom but in wisdom we must have the discipline to follow through on what we know.

The Deeper Meaning Of Life

Thursday March 7-Because I am one to ponder the deeper meaning of life especially the hard questions like why do bad things happens to good people this scripture really blessed me. Because as great as God is and as good as life can get or as hard there are so many things that we will not understand in this lifetime and every story doesn't have a happy ending, and I am reminded that as my mother says that this isn't heaven down here. So the key to our peace is to be able to accept what God allows, know that He makes no mistakes and he is always on time but not subject to our timing but His! So pray and don't worry when you serve a God who knows the ending of our story from the beginning time, so you just continue to seek wisdom. 1 Corinthians 13:12 - Now we see things imperfectly, like seeing puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.

What Love Is ALL About

Friday March 8- 1 Corinthians 13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding noise or a clanging cymbal. The world has grown weary with people saying that we love them especially as Christians, but without showing them love and godly virtues it is time for all of us to be who we say that we are. As I am reminded that charity/love must always begin at home. Because if you are not then it sounds like a lot more noise in already loud and crazy world and everyone is tired of listening. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but I don't have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all my possessions to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Maybe its that people who we admire from a far, who we feel like have everything yet they are still unfulfilled and lead unhappy lives because they are lacking where matters the most, love. L-O-V-E must be the genesis as it is in your conclusion with the proper balance in between. With self love, selfless love and most importantly love for God all as one for God is love. It amazing how even what seems to be so small or insignificant about our own lives leads us, to great abundance when God is in it.

Please Pay Attention.....

Some of us desperately need to heed this Word this morning because we have serious case of misplaced priorities. There is a reason that pride is one of the seven deadly sins because too much pride leads us to arrogance which says that you deserve to be in a position that God didn't place you in. I have learned through my years of living that there is truly nothing in this world like being in the will of God. Luke 14:11..“For those who make themselves great will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be made great.” When you will not humble yourself unto hand of the Almighty God I am living witness that life will humble you. Because you can and you will most certainly be humbled in one way or another by choice or by force! There is nothing wrong with wanting to be successful but you had better have yourself rooted and grounded in God first, so that you how to achieve it God's way and understand how maintain what you have. Because the devil has his deceptions, they are readily available and often those who are in God that he can't destroy with low esteem then he allows us to destroys ourselves with our success. So prepare yourself to be blessed but remain humble do not forget the Lord thy God, in the day of your deliverance and prosperity.

What Lil Wayne's Hospitalization Revealed To Me .....

The LIl Wayne situation and some people's harsh response about having no sympathy for him, broke my heart hearing such venom in people. So I am going speak to some things on a real level today and I will start by saying there but by the grace go I. My daddy was a drug addict so I understand addiction better than most, but last I checked addicts still have a soul too so how dare any of us judge. They have family and friends the people who love them who hurt when they hurt even if they are hurting themselves. Now I am sinner that has been saved by grace so what about you, so grace brought me safe thus far and grace will lead me on. Yes Jesus will keep you if you want to be kept yet still sometimes we will fall down and found to be at fault. But the job of the righteous is still restoration for the Bible says to let you who are without sin cast the first stone while also saying that you who are spiritual restore such a fallen one. So are you spiritual today or just judgmental cause there is a big difference. So I find certain things grievous to my spirit when we judge each other so harshly even if they are suffering consequences their own actions. King David said, Psalm 51:4 Against you oh Lord, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge. SN: We need judge ourselves first before we turn to take a look at anyone else!

The Truth About Sex In The Church

Forgive for me I apologize in advance, I feel like I am going to offend many with this topic but I must go there! I wonder if there is anyone else that feels the contradiction within the sexual and the spiritual parts of themselves the war within between their carnality/lust and Christianity. When you love God and sex plus you're unmarried conflicted about whether others can see in me and what God already knows about me. That is how I had the conversion into celibacy to the soul ties that bound my spirit to be free and when do you know when it is time for you to be celibate. For some us sex severely distorts the complex nature of the soul, between love and lust many of us looking for love but often finding lust instead. I have always felt if gone masturbate then you might as well have sex so I don't waste my time like that, however just my opinion. When often time men are more sexual then their counterparts so do meet your partner's needs which many be vastly different as well as your own. Because sex doesn't create love intimacy does. Shame makes a coward out of us then it keeps us in the cycle to continue make unhealthy choices spiritually and sexually. I was watching this and my mouth to floor, "If God made anything better then sex God must have kept it in heaven" I wish that the church would it keep real about the saints having sex cause many are having it married or not! I am celibate at this time but however I am certainly no virgin either. 

Are You Really What You Say That You Are

Galatians 5:15 But if you bite and devour one another (by participating in partisan strife], be careful that you and your whole fellowship are not destroyed by one another. The circle that binds us together is never destroyed by what is going on the outside of us, but by that which is happening from within first to divide then to conquer.  When there is destruction we often look at fruit of our action, instead what is at root or the catalyst for our action and take a personal responsibility.  But to begin to progressively heal what is wrong within us any negativity must be cut off at the root. 16 But I say, walk and live faithfully in the Holy Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. I have always wondered if as many of us really love the Lord like we say that we do then why so much confusion and strife among us even in the body of Christ. Remember you are in this world but we are not to be of the world as a believer. So what would happen to the world if we really believed that we were each other's keeper and we needed each other's success to survive. Instead of embracing a culture where everything is becoming increasingly more selfish only concerned about me and mine. I challenge you today, to be the change that you want to see in the world. Powerful and effective change always begins with the power of one, ourselves.

Monday Morning Serentity

I felt compelled give some you some old Monday morning serenity for what will probably be the start a busy work week for most of us. When striving to be in God's will, I caution you to be not weary in well doing which is sometimes a difficult task. So I ask God to give you times of refreshing to breathe new life in us during times of trouble. So when life gets overwhelming as sometimes it will, just remember that we win, we always win, so bless it be the name of Lord who always causes us to triumph in every circumstance! You are more than through Christ this morning but not only this morning but God has given the grace sufficient for everyday so go in peace today. Psalm 143:8 Cause me to hear Your loving kindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You. 9 Deliver me, Oh Lord, from my enemies; In You I take shelter. 10 Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; May you gracious spirit lead me on level ground.

Amen.....

Oh what blessed assurance it is that Jesus is mine, so I thank you Lord guiding my footsteps everywhere that I go. Psalms 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delights in his way. Listen, God didn't make any mistakes when he made & called you and everything that was created by God, He blessed it and said was good. Not always perfect but yet still good!  Now King David was murderer and adulterer yet He was a man after God's own heart.  So your sins are not so great and neither your shortcomings, that God cannot forgive and completely redeemed if you would humble yourself and ask. God forgives us the moment that we ask,bur sometimes inability to be able to fully forgive ourselves sometimes is greatest obstacle to getting to where we need to be God. I believe King David was a man after God's not because was He fallen but because he faith to humble himself before God to confess his faults, be forgiven and to get back up again to walk in who God created him to be a king. Proof no matter how far you have like you have fallen, you can be forgiven and walk in total prosperity spirit, soul and body, because God loves restoration !!! 24 Though he fall , he shall not be utterly cast down : for the LORD upholds him with his hand. 25 I have been young, and now am old ; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken , nor his seed begging bread.

Good morning I Have Good News.....

Good morning I have good news for you, God put you out of your comfort zone to bring you into your purpose. Yes what they did to you was wrong but also very necessary in the plan of God. You were being placed in position to be a blessing even to those that hate you in the time of trouble. God will make your enemies your footstool! Genesis 50:17 This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.' Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father." When their message came to him, Joseph wept. There are some who have brought you great harm in the past that God is bringing back to you for your forgiveness in the future. Now you have freely received forgiveness from God so you must be freely will forgive others as God has forgiven you. Because no one has ever hurt you the way hurt the Lord in your sins yet He hung his head and died and said it is finished. So that you would have the right to the tree of life.  19. But Joseph replied, "Don't be afraid of me. Am I God, that I can punish you? Understand what your divine purpose is when God places you in positions of divine authority over your enemies. All the pain right now is because of your future. 20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.
