Good Morning... It's Monday

This is a good Word for any day of the week but especially Monday, when many of us are trying to find the focus for our week. As I was reading this morning during my meditation time this really stood out and blessed my heart so I decided to share. It gives us great insight into the priorities of our lives and how to prosper in whatever work we set our hands to do. Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. We will not understand everything in this life everything won't make sense to our natural senses a part of why we have a spirit to have vision beyond this earthly realm.... my faith says that I will trust the will of the Lord for what I don't understand fully or see in manifestion yet and still obey God. 6 Seek his will in all you do and he will show you which path to take. Every path is not the way but when you go to God for direction in prayer you will know the way for your life for God will lead and guide you on path of righteousness. God will secure every one of your footsteps and never place you on a path to sin....if you allow the Holy Spirit to be your guide. 7 Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil. Evil will make every opportunity for itself to operate but our thoughts, words and deeds not only affect the spiritual body but physical one as well....there is a mind, body and spirit connection at work that many of us miss that is key to our healing. 8 Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones. 9 Honor the Lord with your increase and with the best part of everything you produce.

Thank You Lord For Divine Protection

I want you to know that if you don't know where your help is going to come from today his name is Jesus. You have called on everyone else but have you tried Jesus if not I encourage to try Jesus this morning, For there is no situation too great for our God , now those of us who have salvation and trust in the Lord can testify that there is nobody greater then him. So when you stop looking for love in all the wrong places and trying to fill your life with things that can't satisfy the places that only God was meant to fill then allow God to be God in your life. Because your never need to look any further then God for as he has all the solutions to every problem. I thank God that I know him for myself and so I know the Lord to be a keeper of my soul. So I don't have to worry all that I need is to trust and obey. It's called divine protection and the greatest assurance of that is Jesus. Psalms 121:1 I lift up my eyes to the hills-- where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your foot slip-- he who watches over you will not slumber; 4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The LORD watches over you-- the LORD is your shade at your right hand; 6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD will keep you from all harm-- he will watch over your life; 8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore

Friends Thank You For Covering Me

Job 42:8. So now take to my servant Job an sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your error. You have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has. You to be careful what say about God in anger for it dangerous for you to fall into the hands of an angry God. How many of us have "friends" that make bad matters worse by speaking curses over your life when your are down as if God is unable to restore you. But the same God that did it before will do it again.... tough times are a part of a season and this too shall pass. But you have a responsibility to cover your friends in prayer even when they are wrong, it's great to pray for me and mine but oh it goes deeper than that, because you have some people connected to your life that you have a spiritual responsibility to cover too. I'm so glad they prayed I'm so glad they prayed I'm so glad somebody prayed for me. Thank God that the Lord will have mercy on us in our mistakes and deal with us with grace and not bring judgement upon us according to our deeds. "9. So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite did what the LORD told them; and the LORD accepted Job's prayer. How many of us aren't fully delivered yet because we won'i follow instruction and obedience to God is the key. God makes an emphases Job overcame his affliction AFTER, he prayed for his friends, now I wonder how many of us God is just waiting to bless and restore but won't until we get our mind on someone else's needs besides ourselves. 10. After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before.

God I'm So Sorry For Not Trusting You

For some reason when I was searching for the relief for my soul while reading Job, this passage brought me to tears it broke a spirit at work within me completely. I could myself like ribbon running through the text I had been like Job on how many occasions. Because how many of us have been guilty of resisting the will of God for our life because of what our finite mind couldn't understand about God in his infinite wisdom. Job 42:1 Job replied to the Lord, 2 “I know that you can do anything. No one can keep you from doing what you plan to do. 3 You asked me, ‘Who do you think you are to disagree with my plans? That being said, God will bring out your comfort zone to bring into your purpose... where are compelled by God to be in the spirit instead of just being where you want to be in your flesh. You don't have to always have understand all that God is doing to activate your faith... often all that you have to do is trust God's will to be done and follow his instructions.  Knowing that obedience is better than sacrifice. God is is saying, "You do not know what you are talking about. SO humbling when you realize" I spoke about things that couldn't completely understand. I talked about things that were too wonderful for me to know. 4 “You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak. I will ask you some questions. Then I want you to answer me.’5 My ears had heard about you. But now my own eyes have seen you.6 So I despise my ways I’m really sorry for what I said about you Lord That’s why I’m sitting in dust and ashes in repentance. How many of us owe God an apology today, I know that I did people of God you have to know through conviction when repentance is due.

The Way That God Spoke To Me Through Job

I have been through some trials and tribulations in my body and mind that my natural understanding just doesn't understand... that has been disturbing my peace. So I had to get in God's Word concerning affliction among the righteous which brought me to the book of Job. Job 40:1 The Lord said to Job. 2. “Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? It does not pay to resist the Lord as the way of the transgressor is hard, so it is best to respond immediately to the Lord when he is calling you. Let him who accuses God answer him!” Many times we say that God doesn't make mistakes, because that is what we are supposed to believe as believers... but many of us accuse God of doing wrong by us when we don't understand what God allows to happen. 3 Then Job answered the Lord:4 “I am unworthy—how can I reply to you I put my hand over my mouth. Many of us are angry with God and admittance is the first step to healing...you don't heal by examining the fruit of your actions you heal pulling up the root or dealing with what is at the heart of your hurt. Job needed healing from something that wasn't his fault the Lord thought him worthy of testing yet in his affliction Job had become bitter over his losses. 5 I spoke once, but I have no answer— twice, but I will say no more.” Sometimes especially when we are in pain and don't know what say it is best to be silent allow God to speak. For there is healing in the Word of the Lord for you. 6 Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm:7 “Brace yourself like a man; I will question you and you shall answer me 8 “Would you discredit my justice my will? Would you condemn me to justify yourself? 9 Do you have an arm like God’s 14 Then I myself will admit to you that your own right hand can save you.

Just For Who You Are Lord

Lord I thank you today for you are the giver of life and that more abundantly, in you there is the power to exceed my every expectation through your divine grace and favor. The true power of God will astonish your mind, but here is the thing every thing you need God already placed inside of you before the foundations of the world. God said let it be and it was so now all you have to to do manifest the the glory of God that is already placed on the inside of you. When God performed His mighty acts in the Bible they were called "wonders" because you couldn't figure out God, the good news is that you still can't and he is still performing his wonders today. But how many of us are ready for a mighty wonder from God today. But when God is working in you and on you then the world will know that you are different...because those with the light of God in their heart cannot be hidden. People of honor are usually relegated to the background by those who don't understand the gifts that labor among them, but God is about to bring you to the forefront. Doe his glory so think it not strange when you are repositioned SUDDENLY. For God is a God promotion, so begin to prepare yourself not just for where you are right now but for where you are going, says the Lord. Ephesians 3:20-21 New King James Version (NKJV) 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen

Let The Church Say Amen

As we start the work week Mondays are usually hectic for most of us but God is able to give us peace. Even as I make that acknowledgement I invite the spirit to come into wherever we are right now and I thank you for it Lord for you do all things well. So I encourage you not to be moved by what you see but stand being bold and courageous always abiding in the Word of the Lord. The same God who brought you through before will do it again. Romans 8: 28. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God knew before he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. Your process is about you but isn't just about you remember your brothers ans sisters there are many connected to your life. I ask that you be patient with me cause God isn't finished with me yet, he is molding and making us into what he would have us to be so be willing to stay on the potter's wheel God's people he wants to do a new thing in you. God is making you a vessel of honor fit for the master's service in this season. Only a master Potter like God know how get most out of the clay during molding/shaping process stay right there even if it hurts because it help your character to become like Christ. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

The Power To Speak To The Storm

I pray that all is well with you but if it isn't feeling that way today, I encourage you to praise God anyhow and watch what happens next. Often we want to shout the victory when our troubles is over, but how many of us are willing to shout while we going through. Some call it an anyhow praise other as a sacrifice when you have been going through hell all week long and suddenly you begin shout till your troubles are over remembering you have the victory in Jesus. God teaches us some of his best lessons in stormy weather but you still power to speak to your storm and say "peace be still" and watch God calm to seas in your life. Heaven and angels are on assignment just waiting for you to speak a Word in accordance with the will of God. You have to know when you have been in the storm too long and its time to crossover to the other side of through. James 1:2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do. What are you expecting from God today, what was he done for you already, what you have thanked him for in advance...alright then now have faith in God ALL things are possible if you only believe.

The War Is Waging To Keep Our Righteous Mind

People of God better quit conforming to this world's standard we are in the end times so the battle is on for all of us to get and to keep our righteous mind. So this prevailing attitude in people that "only God can judge me" as way to justify continued sin, you see we often confuse God's conviction and the world's condemnation so discernment is key. I am convinced that proper conviction in our spirit of wrong and warnings from those who love us enough to want us to be spared from God's judgement are necessary and often shunned even by believers. For God said, be you holy as I am holy so sin is nothing to be messed around with and when you fall into temptation you need to quickly confess your sins because God is faithful and just to forgive you. Your purpose is not to sin, your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, so you were created to give God glory and whenever you sin it glorifies the devil. So when you sin it subtracts from your prosperity and the length of your days and just because you don't die a physical death right away doesn't mean that there are not consequences for actions or that your spirit isn't perishing along way. For there some things worse than physical death... like for you do things your way, to be without God and to lose your soul in the end for all eternity. Yes there is a high price for sin we are paying for it all the time in world in which we live. Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sins, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

The Obligation To Be Our Brother's Keeper

We need to look at the example of being our brother's and sister's keeper because it is as it always was that the strong must bare with the issues of the weak. Even as you where once weak a baby in Christ and someone had to carry you remember the footprints in sand of your life. Lord help us to be humble enough, not to forget what we should always remember about being patient with other even as we need others to be patient with us in our weaknesses. Even as we remember how God has been so graciously patient with us and by his love and kindness has he drawn us to himself. I encourage you to allow patience have her perfect work today and if you feel impatient to pray. Romans 15:1 Now we that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2 Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, unto encouragement. 3 For Christ also pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell upon me. 4 For whatsoever things were written before were written for our learning, that through patience and through comfort of the scriptures we might have hope. 5 Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus: 6 that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Reason Not To Worry

Today is the day NOT to worry but to be happy it sounds so cliche and yet so profoundly true. We spend so much fearing the worst instead by faith expecting and striving for the best in our lives. Sometimes I wonder do we really know how much Jesus loves us, because I think if did then we wouldn't possibly waste so much precious time with worry. When the good Lord has always taken good care of his own remember your fear counteracts your faith. But the same God who brought you through that situation will bring you this because your situation may have changed but your God will remain the same. Worry is our human nature expressing its need for control and I am guilty as charged, but I am not in control of my life God is and He has the final say so its when I submit to the will of God, that I find myself at peace. That is why it is so important pray to the Father not my will but your will be done so that you submit yourself to God's authority at work in your life. Matthew 6:26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Know worth because Jesus love you! 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? So the question is...."Why worry? If you done the best that you can worrying won't make it any better" -Walt Disney

Good Morning.....I'm So Grateful To Be Here

Thank you Lord for waking me up this morning for truly you are good and your mercy endures forever. When God you could have given us over to own devices as justice required mercy said no and we were spared wrath! Yes Lord you hear the cries of your people, but I am grateful that you still hear a sinner's prayer for when I was wretched and undone by sin still you loved me. I can only love you Lord because you first loved me and when nothing else could help your love Lord lifted me. Psalms 116:1. I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.2 Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live. 7 Return to your rest, my soul for the Lord has been good to you. Don't you allow yourself to worry about tomorrow when the Lord has so graciously covered you with loving kindness today. 8 For you, Lord, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling, 9 that I may walk before the Lord in the land of the living.12 What shall I render to the Lord for all his goodness to me? 13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.14 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people. So even in my tears and times of hardship, I will remember all your goodness towards me and bless the Lord and all that is within me will bless your holy name.

Becoming More Like Christ

Hmm what we would all be like, if did like what God said for us to do in His Word by being not just hearers of the Word by doing the Word also in daily living. Sadly we want to lead the world but many won't follow us as believers, because our example is so poor morally and contrary to what God said do in our character. You can't do everything that world is doing the way they do it and then say that you are different because the world will see you for who you are the same thing but with different title."Christian" Personally I would have a real heathen then fake Christian because God will work with the real and abhors fake. This is how to get to a more just and godly society the teaching truth and building the family by living in the way of God's Word. Titus 2:1 You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine. 2 Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. 4 Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be submissive to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God. 6 Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. 7 In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness 8 and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.

Happy Resurrection Sunday

I didn't sleep hardly at all last night, I just couldn't stop feeling of grief my heart was so heavy, but God. God doesn't always answer prayer the way we would like but he answers us in his own time. Know that whatever it is that God does he does it well and way of the Lord is perfect. Sometimes we are healed by God and sometimes we are healed to God nevertheless the healing has come through Jesus. Victory over death and hell and the grave is what was what was won at Calvary, victory in Jesus my Savior forever. Luke 24:1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Jesus thank you for being who you are, Savior more then life to me thank you for redemption you paid my ransom Jesus.... what a sacrifice of love in living, dying but most of all rising again on the third day with all power in your hands. We remember you Jesus....Happy Resurrection Sunday to all God's children!

Why We All Need Jesus

I have been reading the story of The Crucifixion of Jesus- Luke 23:39 One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “ Aren't you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” Many still question who Jesus is, his power to save, heal , deliver or to be on time if has done it before and I guarantee that he has then he can do it again. You need to recognize why you are still here you have the power to keep yourself without God. By being in agreement with those who don't believe in Jesus makes you guilty by association. After everything that he has done for your already why are you still doubting Jesus. Pilate tried to wash his hands of the blood of Jesus too but he too was still guilty. I would ask today who is on the Lord's side because some of us need to start taking a stand for the Lord. 40 But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? 41 We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.” We still look at our situations always able to see the problem, but with an inability to recognize that the solution is in your midst, JESUS! 42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. Many of us are still in our same situations because we haven't humbled ourselves to repent and ask the Lord to remember us. 43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” There no greater assurance that Jesus offers then this, that when you are absent from this present body you can immediately be with Jesus in paradise.

Forgive Them Father For Know Not What They Do

Luke 23:34 Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." These the first recorded Words of Jesus uttered from the cross when He who knew no sin took on the sin humanity for us. If they would known what they were doing they wouldn't have crucified our Lord, proof that ignorance isn't proper excuse before God. Nor does it vindicate you on the day judgement only the Lord and his forgiveness of our sins can do that. Just to let you what love really looks like love is really nothing if it is not sacrificial, and you are never more like your heavenly father then when you love and when you forgive. So as his first mission on the cross he brings us back to his first labor of love for us, forgiveness. As the great singer/songwriter Lauryn Hill said, " If you they lied on Jesus then they will lie on you too, forgive them father!" Yet in the midst of his excruciating suffering, the heart of Jesus the heart of love was shown when he focused on others rather than himself. Here we see the nature of his love, it is both unconditional and divine. The baring of the cross by Jesus in being not guilty isn't possible without love and forgiveness for us being at forefront of his mind. So when you think of goodness of Jesus and the price paid on the cross you need to look at yourself and say when he was on the cross I was on his mind! Hallelujah!!!!!!

The Truth Is.....

We live in a confused world where the world is so bold it's outrageous about their lies and the church is timid about the truth. It's time for us to be bold soldiers for God expose the lies of the devil.

The Worshiper In Me/ What God Requires

If you are true worshiper and if praise is what I do then i must praise God because he is worthy and not only when it is convenient.

Lies Will Never Outlast The Truth

To lie may get you to where you want to be today, but the truth will be out by tomorrow just like what doesn't come out in wash come out in the rinse my grandma used to say, you will be exposed.

You Shall Live And Not Die...Only Believe

As we come into the season where we are celebrating the Resurrection, of our Lord Jesus Christ let us not forget that he arose with healing in His wings. Many have said that it is over cause your situation isn't what it once was but God's favor didn't leave your life just because circumstances in your body have changed. Now you have been to the doctor but have you taken your life to the Great Physician who is well able to heal you everywhere that you hurt. One thing about sickness that know from experience, it teaches you how to pray and believe God because pain produces a passionate prayer life. 2 Kings 20:5 "Go back and tell Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, 'This is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you. On the third day from now you will go up to the temple of the LORD. Jesus hung His head, said it was finished and died for your healing and by his stripes you are healed. Now I thank God for the doctors but you have the Word of the Lord so believe God and be healed spirit, soul and body. But more then that I thank God for Jesus that a child manager could be the Savior on the cross risen with all power in his hands! Therefore I shall live and not die, and declare the works of the LORD. Psalms 118:17

The Kingdom Of Heaven

Matthew 4: 16 The people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned 17. From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Now if Jesus preached about repentance then why aren't we in the church today when there is more sin in the camp then ever before. Yes Jesus loved us so much that he died but that love doesn't mean that in hell we won't lift up our eyes if we don't repent. I believe it is because the church has become about everything but our Heavenly Father's business. We make people feel good every Sunday morning all without a requirement to repent or live holy. Salvation+Repentance+ Righteousness =Kingdom Living Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. We have lost the reverence and fear of God in God's house so don't we have any honor of God in our homes either, so everything is being done out of order. 18. ”As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19. And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” So people of God get right with God and go catch some fish today!
