The Lessons Learned From Cain and Abel

A Lesson On Sin, Questions That We Need To Ask Ourselves.... Both Cain and Abel had the same the opportunity to be acceptable unto to God through sacrifice, however only one offering was pleasing unto God and the other was not. How many times do we know the right way to come before God yet we still choose to make the wrong decision. Many times this is where jealously comes in even among believers because of our choices, when God receives the sacrifice of one of our brothers or sisters and blesses it and it it is clear that God has rejected the sacrifice of another among us then anger sets in, because of competition and jealously in our spirit. It is dangerous to touch God's anointed by causing them harm in word or deed. Psalms 105:15 
There are all kinds of demonic activity connected to jealously including murder! So you may want to check your spirit about your feelings concerning your brother or sister's blessing.
Genesis 4:5 But to Cain and to his offering God had not respect. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell. 6. And the LORD said to Cain, Why are you angry? and why is your spirit fallen?. If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it."
Numbers 32:23 "But if you fail to do this, you will be sinning against the LORD; and you can be sure that your sin will find you out!

A Prayer For Grace and Protection


A prayer and thoughts of remembrance to the goodness of our God in spite of sometimes difficult circumstances. Psalms 16:1. Preserve me, O God: for in you do I put my trust. Discern people carefully BEFORE YOU PLACE THEM IN POSITIONS OF TRUST IN YOUR LIFE, for Bible says to know those who labor among you. There are many who you think that you know when actually you have no idea about intentions because you have taken them too close to your heart too soon... before you have gone before the Lord to properly discern their spirit before bring them fully into your circle. But EXPOSURE is coming to ALL evil the for secret agendas are about to run out. Because everyone that smiles in your face isn't a true friend to you behind your back nor are they happy for your success and jealously is a real devil to deal with. Know that even Jesus had a Judas, which teaches us even betrayal as painful as it may be at the time happens and it has a purpose sometimes it a necessary part of our process!!! To show us that everyone isn't fit for the 12, for those will be the ones that you will often share the intimate details of walk with the Lord with so choose your circle carefully.

Psalms 16: 2. O my soul, you have said to the LORD, You are my Lord: my goodness extends not to you; 3. But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. 11.You will make known to me the path of life; For In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever Lord I thank you for those that you have already divinely in place my for my life, and I praise you in advance that are completing my circle with righteous people. Psalms 101:6 My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; the one whose walk is blameless will minister to me.

Spiritual Perception Is Key In This Season

Good morning, God is great and I dare you to make his praise glorious this morning a praise worthy of the Kings of Kings.. 
Isaiah 43:18 “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. There is a divine reason that God allowed it to be in your past and not your present or future, because it is behind you for he wouldn't allow it to hinder your future... it serves no purpose for you now other than to teach you what it was there for you to learn. I thank God for the past for it had its place but it is no longer because I am now free. So I say good morning to the new you and praise God for the newness of life. It's a NEW SEASON!!!!! 
For God says, Isaiah 43:19 I am making a way for you in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. For what was barren and deserted and not of any productive use, I am now creating an oasis for myself for I am restoring you says the Lord. I thank God for river of God that now flows through me what was once mess about me God cleaned my spirit up for it now brings me life. 20 The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland, to give drink to my people, my chosen, You are God's chosen understand what that means today and thank God thank you. 
21 the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise.

What The True Enemy Is...It's The Devil Not The Person

As Christians we don't win just sometimes we always win for we are more than conquerors through Christ our Lord. 2 Corinthians 10:5- We use God's mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. 
6. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against us and the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Don't feel intimidated by the circumstances it isn't the person against you it is the spirit, know the difference and take your spiritual authority over the situation in Jesus name. Decree a spirit of peace over your environment. 
Proverbs 16:7 promises- That when a person's ways are pleasing unto the Lord He will make their enemies to be a peace with them. You can't fight spiritual battles by physical means those are always best fought on your knees in prayer, for if God be for who can be against you. Remember you don't overcome with evil with evil but overcome evil with good...humble yourself and pray!!!

You Are The Church/ The Glory Of God Inside Of You

Good morning, happy and blessed Sunday to you! First let me say the church isn't just a building the church is in your heart and the world is waiting for God's glory to show up in the church, BUT YOU ARE THE CHURCH....Christ in you the hope of glory. Whatever it is that we might be doing today let it be to glorify God and let glory of Lord rise among us. One of the devil's greatest work is to give a perverted sense of self, one that is a low self esteem version of ourselves to keep our vision small and the glory marginalized at work within us. Imagine what happen if the glory of God would arise among us wherever the the miracles that would happen! I used to love to sing this little light of mine I'm gonna let it shine, but now I know better I know that my light isn't little it's great. For greater is He who is in me then he that is in the world.
Isaiah 60:1 Arise, shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. 2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people; but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee. 3 And the unbelievers shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.! I have been experiencing this like never before people are drawn to me, because of the God in me make no mistake that the world know you by your love.

The Promises Of God Are For An Appointed Time

God is faithful even when we are not and he will NEVER allow your faith in him to be disappointed. I had to to really meditate on is this but it caused me to think on all the goodness of God towards me already and know that God isn't finished with me yet, oh yes this is an important Word. Cause I know that I am not the only one with a testimony that God has been good to me. The Bible says that heaven and earth will pass before God's Word fail, so God is so serious about His promises to you. Know that God is not a man that he should lie nor is He the son of man that he might need to repent. You need to catch this Word in your spirit because it caused me to claim the blessings not only for myself but my children not yet born based of what he has promised me. The promises of God towards you don't run out, so if God has made a promise to bless and your house then God will still be blessing your children and their children long after you have closed your eyes on the earth. For the blessing of the Lord is unto a 1000 generations. You have got to know that you know that you have the Word of the Lord for your life then stand on the Word no matter what anyone says about your stance. Joshua 23:14 "Now behold, today I am going the way of all the earth, and you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one word of all the good words which the LORD your God spoke concerning you has failed; all have been fulfilled for you, not one of them has failed

The Importance Of Quiet Times With God

It is amazing to me that as I older I crave the quiet moments between God and I because I recognize the importance of maintaining our relationship open communication speaking and listening. Sometimes we have become so accustomed to the noise and always being busy with our minds occupied with something other then Jesus all day until we prepare for bed. So busy too busy if you ask me, if your so busy that Jesus doesn't get any or very little of your time throughout the day life is out of order. Many of us that are looking for God in roaring thunder and loudness of life will be disappointed and miss God in these days because He is moving in the still small voice on the inside of us. Shhhh...can you hear him now? You have to learn how to be in the sweet communion of the Holy Spirit to understand the new thing that God is trying to do on the inside of you in this season. We mus heighten our spiritual senses and become spiritually sensitive and aware it's God that is calling us to higher place in Him. A true relationship with God brings recognition of God calling us to come closer to Him! 
1 Samuel 3:8- And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for you did call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child. 
9. Therefore Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call you, that you shall say, Speak, LORD; for your servant hears you. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. Because God is often speaking us but how many of us can hear Him and if we can hear the voice how many of recognize that it is God speaking to us. Yes in all the daily activity in our life there is a time to be still before the Lord. Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

The Passing On Of The Torch As A Spiritual Leader

Who is your successor... every great mantle or anointing needs to passed on the anointing your life transferable look for those willing to learn so that you can teach them the way. Everyone saint should have a father and mother (leadership/example) in the spirit along with brothers and sisters to keep you accountable before the Lord. Those who are mature in the spirit then have the wisdom and maturity to gain spiritual sons and daughters. Your legacy should be learned so it can be carried even in your absence. Every great leader goes through testing and on the job training, where they must learn to faithful to another's person vision before Lord entrusts them to step out into their own vision. So do not despise the days of small beginning says the Lord! For the Lord is raising new leadership land for HE sits down one and raises up another....except the shift for there will be a changing of guard in the Spirit! For there are many who have faithful to God in the background for years, know faithfulness has its own reward God is bringing is faithful ones to the forefront in this season. Not because your discontent where you are but because your chosen, your not there for applause of men but for the glory of God... He will use you and get all the glory out of your life. Deuteronomy 31:7. And Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for you must go with this people to the land which the LORD has sworn to their fathers to give them; and you shall cause them to inherit it. 8. And the LORD, he is the one that goes before you; he will be with you, he will not fail you, neither forsake you: fear not, neither be dismayed.

When You Honor God Then He Will Honor You

Many have confused priorities in a perverse world because that have become busy trying to their promote and protect their reputation rather improving upon their character. For your reputation is who you want everyone think that you are when you know that they are watching.... but your character is who you really are at the end the of day when no one is watching you but God because He sees all and knows the motives of your heart all the time. Many will tell you quickly that only God can judge me... but I don't pay much attention to that for the Bible says, You will know the tree by the fruit it bares. Luke 6:43- So that when you look at fruit (actions) of a person look closely and you will be able to identify the root from which the fruit came...be it good or evil. It is important to know the character of the people that you closely associate yourself with and choose to connect yourself with people of high moral character... choose quality over quantity, use wisdom. Proverbs 22:1- A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, And loving favor rather than silver and gold. 2. The rich and the poor have much in common: for the Lord is the maker of them all. True love of Lord, I believe will make wise for the Holy Spirit will make you to know what to do and not to do...PAY ATTENTION! 3 Sensible people foresee trouble and hide from it, but gullible people go ahead and suffer the consequence. 
4 On the heels of humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life

How To Clean Up Your Spiritual House

PAY ATTENTION...because God may be trying to tell you something about how fix the chaos that is going on at you house! First let's be clear that God is a God of order and no He will not be blessing anyone's mess because God's doesn't violate His principles for us not even as His children. You going have clean up the mess in your house and give God something that is order for Him to bless. So you have be careful who you invite into your home stay with you perhaps they have unwanted spirits they are bringing with them and will want try to take over your once peaceful home. It never ceases to amaze that when strife comes how quickly peace will cease to exist... because you can't have God to manifest his glory through peace when your keeping up the devil with someone in your house by strife and confusion. Know today that God himself hates strife especially among families and you will NEVER manifest the blessings of God as long it is present... Six things that the Lord HATES no seven and the Seventh is Proverbs 6:19- a dishonest witness spitting out lies, and a person who spreads conflict among their relatives. So it leads me to Proverbs 22:10 Get rid of the proud /sarcastic people who laugh at what is right (for they dishonor God), and trouble will leave with them. All arguments and insults will end. 
11 Love a pure heart and kind words, and you find that the king will be your friend. 12. The Lord watches over true knowledge, and he opposes those who try to deceive others. In others word learn to live in the truth and the God of peace will be with you and put the devil to shame.

When Your Delieverance Has Come

To whom much is given such as saving grace to much is required such as a true commitment to God. So to whom do you belong today says the Lord search yourself and know your truth, see if your living in the marvelous light of God or dwelling in the darkness of your soul with the devil. See light always dispels the darkness but where light is absent darkness will rule and reign in your heart and mind. Creating an absence of stability and you finding comfort among those who walking the line between a commitment to God and pleasures of the world. But know this any sin is only good for a season and after that comes sudden destruction... so if you continue in the way of sin you bring about your own judgement by God and destroy yourself. You need to recognize when repentance is due but know that there is no true repentance without change you see godly sorrow requires a commitment to change. See when God forgives He also restores you but He also tells you to go and sin no more. Because no one can free you from your burden but God, and that it is a choice that each one of us must make for ourselves daily. 2 Corinthians 6;17 ."Therefore, COME OUT FROM THEIR MIDST AND BE SEPARATE," says the Lord. "AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN; And I will welcome you. Now I don't know about you but I am living to hear God say well done not because I am perfect for I am not but I am in passionate pursuit of God. 1 Corinthians 6:19. What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own? 20. For you are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's

Remembering The Sabbath- What Would Jesus Do

Good morning ....Happy Sunday remembering the Sabbath- What Would Jesus Do? Mark 7:13- YOU make void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down, and you do many things such as that." Be mindful of things that we do in the name of tradition that hinders the Holy Spirit's progress on our behalf. God is working some things out for you this morning if you step out on faith and allow Him to have His way. Luke 14:1 It happened that when He went into the house of one of the leaders of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching Him closely. When Jesus is at work even on the Sabbath, everything that the Lord does whatever you are in that moment is both correct and holy...don't be so busy with being religious and keeping with the traditions of the day that you miss the opportunity with Jesus for a miracle. I encourage to find no fault with God this morning, peradventure He wants to a perform a miracle for you differently then He has done it in past for you. 
Luke 14:2 And there in front of Him was a man suffering from intense swelling of his body. 
3 And Jesus answered and spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?” 
4 But they kept silent. And He took hold of him and healed him, and sent him away. 
5 And He said to them, "Which one of you will have a son or an ox fall into a well, and will not immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?” 
6 And they could make no reply to this.

A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR SAFETY OF THE SPIRITUAL HOUSE

MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE>>>>THE IMPORTANCE OF A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR SAFETY OF THE HOUSE... Good morning, I want to encourage you today make sure that the anchor of your life is connected the Rock of Ages for when storms of life are raging and they will. Storms are for the just and the unjust alike, they have NO consideration of the person going through them.... they arise suddenly in your life from time to time and usually when you least expect them. But God gives us His Word so anything that we go through in life is an open book test so you get the Word of GOD and use it. If are faithful to get into the Word of God and God's Word to get in your heart then you WILL NOT fail the test. The Word of God is your greatest weapon your against adversary the devil and he isn't fighting fair with us, so be careful that a weak foundation somewhere in your life doesn't destroy YOU when trouble comes. You can't wait until your in the midst of storm to prepare, you stay prayed up and prepared in Jesus. LUKE 6:46-49 46. What good is it to mouth the words, “Lord! Lord!” if you don’t live by My teachings? 47 What matters is that you come to Me, hear My words, and actually live by them. 48 If you do that, you’ll be like the man who wanted to build a sturdy house. He dug down deep and anchored his foundation to solid rock. During a violent storm, the flood waters slammed against the house, but they couldn't be shaken because of solid craftsmanship. [For it was built upon the rock.] 49 On the other hand, if you hear My teachings but don’t put them into practice, you’ll be like the careless builder who didn't bother to build a foundation under his house. The flood waters barely touched that pathetic house, and it crashed in ruins in the mud. SO be careful with with your soul and to remember work out your own soul's salvation.

We Serve A Faithful God

Good morning, great news you have to worry you can be happy in Jesus, because everything you need God has got and you can have it if you are in Jesus. The same God who did for you before will do it for you again. Remember all the goodness of God in your life, this morning forget not all of His benefits. Do not turn on each other because of being in need but turn to Jesus....their is great power in unity and in your faith the power for a miracle. While reading this yesterday, I just found these passage of scripture to be absolutely profound so I hope that is blesses you the way that it did for me! Mark 8:16-21 16. Meanwhile, the disciples were finding fault with each other because they had forgotten to bring bread. 17 Jesus knew that the followers were talking about this. So he asked them, “Why are you fussing about having no bread? Keep mind that they were in the presence of the bread of heaven...Jesus! So where is your faith today in your lack or Lord's supply? Where is your faith, what you can do on your own or what God can do through you? Do you still not see or understand? Are you not able to understand? Don’t you see the point of all this? 18 Do you have eyes that can’t see? Do you have ears that can’t hear? Remember what I did before, when we did not have enough bread? 19 I divided five loaves of bread for 5000 people. Remember how many baskets you filled with pieces of food that were not eaten?”The followers answered, “We filled twelve baskets.” 20 “And when I divided seven loaves of bread for 4000 people, how many baskets did you fill with the leftover pieces?” They answered, “We filled seven baskets.” 21 Then he said to them, “You remember these things I did, but you still don’t understand?”

Let The Church Say Amen....

Good morning, waiting on the Lord seems to be a recurring theme in my life and what God is giving in wisdom me from His Word. Let me remind those of us who tend to get a little impatient with the process that we are going through, that if God hasn't given you instructions to change then you the stay the course and remain faithful where you are. Yes it is easy to become anxious, but I want you all to know today that I don't mind waiting on God.... because God's will is better for me then any plans that I have for myself and exceeds every expectation that I could possibly obtain on my own. Always remember that the way of the Lord is perfect! Lamentations 3:21- 24: 21 Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: 22 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed for his compassion never fails us. 23 Your grace is new every morning great is your faithfulness. 24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”

I Just Want To Say Thank You Lord

Yes Lord I thank you that you hear me always, and I thank you not only for the answered prayers but the prayers that you didn't answer in your infinite wisdom to protect me from myself. For everything that I wanted wasn't what you knew that I needed you were teaching me the wisdom between a want and a need. When I did not pray your will Father but only wanted what was in the my selfish desires of my flesh. Sometimes when God is protecting us from our enemies one the people that God is really protecting us from is ourselves and our old nature .. or the enemy that is sometimes at work on the inside of me. That being said we have to learn how to live with righteous intent for God in our heart... is what I am doing with the pure motives of God's heart. He hears our prayer he will protect me from all my enemies as I cry out to the Lord for help. Psalms 31:1-5 1. In You, O Lord, do I put my trust and seek refuge; let me never be put to shame or [for I have my hope in You] be disappointed; deliver me in Your righteousness! 2 Bow down Your ear to me, deliver me speedily! Be my Rock of refuge, a strong Fortress to save me! 3 Yes, You are my Rock and my Fortress; therefore for Your name’s sake lead me and guide me. 4 Draw me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for You are my Strength and my Stronghold. 5 Into Your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth and faithfulness.

The Battle Isn't Yours To Fight

UNDERSTAND THIS>>>>IT WAS NEVER YOUR BATTLE TO FIGHT!!!! I woke up with this ringing in my spirit today so I know that is important! The battle which you think that you have a fight today it is not yours its the Lord's , the Lord already fought every battle for you on the cross and won so quit fighting your own deliverance. ALL that you have to do is, give it over to God and give the glory for your victory. Exodus 14:13- Moses told the people, Fear not; stand still (firm, confident, undismayed) and see the salvation of the Lord which He will work for you today. For the Egyptians you have seen today you shall never see again. Now the devil is on his job and he has come into our life to steal, kill and destroy but God has come that we might have life and have it more abundantly. So are you living the abundant life that Jesus paid for cause if not then you are living beneath your privilege child of God. So somebody needs to say NEVER AGAIN I will never be in this situation again !!! For the way that it was before under oppression and bondage to your enemies from within your camp and those coming into your situation from the outside.. the problem will be no more after this battle for there will glory in your life again, AFTER THIS. 14 The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace and remain at rest. Psalms 46:10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God

Thank You Father

Good morning, first off this is the day that the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it! To the one that I love most my Father God... I honor you as the head of my life thank you being more then just my father but also my friend and as it is Father's Day.... I give honor to the ultimate father so I keep you in mind Jesus, I love you! To my earthly father, Eddie J. Pierce this is the sixth Father's Day without you, but you're seated with God in heavenly places so everyday is happy for you. For the Father's who are expecting a child, those who are being a father to your children, father's who have suffering loss as a parent , and those of us who have lost their father, God bless us all. Father's who are NOT on your job as parents get on your job starting today your children are YOUR legacy! God will hold you accountable first for your children placed you as the head of your family. Just remember whatever season that your in, be it good or bad when your in those times which are happy or sad... God will be right there for us when season change. Ecclesiastes 3- Teacher: For everything that happens in life—there is a season, a right time for everything under heaven: 2 A time to be born, a time to die; a time to plant, a time to collect the harvest; 3 A time to kill, a time to heal; a time to tear down, a time to build up; 4 A time to cry, a time to laugh; a time to mourn, a time to dance; 5 A time to scatter stones, a time to pile them up; a time for a warm embrace, a time for keeping your distance; 6 A time to search, a time to give up as lost; a time to keep, a time to throw out; 7 A time to tear apart, a time to bind together; a time to be quiet, a time to speak up; 8 A time to love, a time to hate; a time to go to war, a time to make peace. Peace and blessings to every man in my life... Happy Father's Day!!

A Father's Day Reminder for Love and Understanding

  • ON THE EVE OF FATHER'S DAY....SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER!! We often look to parents to be perfect when really they are they people, prone to shortcomings as human beings. I love to see great fathers, especially with daughters it brings me to tears every time I can't seem to help myself! It's not just sons that that need their father their daughters need them too, to model what a real man looks and how he is to provide and treat her as a lady. Many times both in my daddy's presence and now his absence in death, I longed for the relationship and more time, so many times our vices steal our most valuable asset away from us our time until all our time is all gone. Taking us away further and further away from the things that are really such as important God and family. Our relationship with God and a relationship each other especially in the parent -child bond and raising our children. But in areas were our father have fallen short as parents or we have fallen short as children towards our parents many times both are the case...where respect was in order on both sides and just wasn't given. Many of us are now parents and now know what a difficult job and a great responsibility our parents had in raising us. It not an easy task to figure out how to be a man when you didn't have father present to teach you what being man was...a mother is woman she can love you teach you, train you up as she can but what she can never to do is be a man God didn't create her to take the father's place. But even if your father didn't do their job in raising you God will hold them accountable for their wrongdoings, but we are no one's judge and love cover a multitude of sin and shortcomings. But I know this generational curses are real, if you were not raised by your father and now your not raising your kids that is a curse that must be broken...ask God and children for forgiveness and go home and raise your children. You need to know when forgiveness is due, forgiveness doesn't hold one captive to the memory of the offence forgiveness sets free the captive and the person that is sets free is you. Psalms 27:10- Even if my father or mother has left me the LORD will take care of me. Psalms 68:5 A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows is God in his holy dwelling. 6 God sets the lonely in families. Happy Father's Day, gentleman!!!

The Power Of A Proper Understanding

Good morning, I am coming with more wisdom from Ecclesiastes 1, for it seems that as I get older that I crave wisdom and to be in the company of those with like precious faith. So thank you Lord for all the people who are helping me to grow, not only as a person but a woman of God bless each and every one of you.Ecclesiastes 1:7 All rivers flow to the sea, but the sea is never full. To the place where the river flows, there the water returns to flow once again. I also crave have the words and to be heard, now maybe it is because I know the creative power of words. Yet there is a beauty in the silence and a peace that dwells there when your mind is on Jesus. An ability to hear the God speak His will clearly to us in the silence. Yet have the voice and the discernment to be able to speak peace be still during a storm. Ecclesiastes 1:8-11
8 Words, words, words! So many words! They are wearisome things; and yet people cannot refrain from speaking. No eye has ever surveyed the world and said, “I have seen enough”; no ear has ever listened to creation and said, “I have heard enough.” 9 What has been, that will be what has been done, that which will be done. Nothing is new under the sun, the future only repeats the past. 10 One person may say of some idea, “Pay attention to this; it’s original!” But that same idea has already been expressed; it’s been with us through the ages. 
11 We often do not remember those people and events of long ago, as future generations will not remember what is yet to come.

Pursuing Excellence Through Wisdom

As I continue to pursue wisdom for my life I remember that I am approaching another birthday within the next 60 days, it is n this season I have fallen in love with Ecclesiastes the text is so rich. I fully encourage everyone to read it, so many revelations yet stark contrasts between our human nature/understanding and God's infinite wisdom, it's remarkable how it all come together in the text for breathtaking wisdom. Ecclesiastes 2:1 Teacher: I said to myself, “Let me dabble and test you in pleasure and see if there is any good in that.” But look, that, too, was fleeting. 2. Of laughter I said, “Foolishness.” Of pleasure, “And in the end what is accomplished?” 3 So I thought about drinking wine, for it soothes the flesh. But all the while my mind was filled with thoughts of wisdom—about how to rein in foolishness—until I might understand the best way for us to live out our brief lives and number of days under heaven. 8. I amassed a fortune in silver and gold, and I stockpiled the treasures of kings and provinces. I hired men and women to sing and entertain me, and I pampered myself with what every man desires—many women. 9. I surrounded myself with all this and became great, far greater than anyone who had ever lived in Jerusalem before me. And still, my wisdom never left my side. 10. Throughout this experiment, I let myself have anything my eyes desired, and I did not withhold from my mind any pleasure. What was the conclusion? My mind found joy in all the work I did—my work was its own reward! 11. As I continued musing over all I had accomplished and the hard work it took, I concluded that all this, too, was fleeting, like trying to embrace the wind.

Finding Purpose In Periless Times....

Good morning, I have had a lot on my mind lately concerning life and the reason that things happen the way that they do. I have heard so many say NOT to question God which has always bothered me, but I say that you must question God because HE is the only one who has all the answers and that is how we as human being were designed to learn. So if is something that you need to know then keep seeking God for direction. Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart. In light of my prayers through the years and recent events in my life I found this to be so very poignant, so of course I had to share. Ecclesiastes 3:9 What good comes to anyone who works so hard, all to gain a few possessions? 10 I have seen the kinds of tasks God has given each of us to do to keep one busy, 11 and I know God has made everything beautiful for its time. God has also placed in our minds a sense of eternity; we look back on the past and ponder over the future, yet we cannot understand the doings of God. 12 I know there is nothing better for us than to be joyful and to do good throughout our lives; 13 to eat and drink and see the good in all of our hard work is a gift from God. 14 I know everything God does endures for all time. Nothing can be added to it; nothing can be taken away from it. We humans can only stand in awe of all God has done. 15 What has been and what is to be—already is. And God holds accountable all the pursuits of humanity.

Your Relationship With The King Of Glory

MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE>>>ENCOURAGE YOURSELF IN THE LORD!!!! Good morning, wherever you are right now and whatever it is that you are going through I want to know that there is nothing too hard for our God, thank him for waking you up this morning you have much to be thankful for. Sometimes right in middle of what you are going through, you need to transition your thoughts to the goodness of Jesus and remember your victories not dwell on your unfulfilled desires! So if you want to make the the devil really mad this morning then declare your freedom from him in Jesus name and lift up head. Wherever you see Selah it is to [pause, think of that and give praise]! Psalms 24:3 Who shall go up into the mountain of the Lord? Or who shall stand in His Holy Place? 4 He that has cleans hands and a pure heart; who lifts not up his soul unto vanity, nor swears deceitfully: 5 He shall receive blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6 This is the generation of them that seek unto him, that seek your face, O God of Jacob. Selah. 7 Lift up your heads, you gates, and be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in. 8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord God strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, oh you gates, and be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in. 10 Who is he, this King of glory? Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

Happy Sunday

Happy Sunday thank God for the blessing of another day so we sing and shout your praise oh Lord. We enter the gates with thanksgiving and into your courts with praise Psalm 150:6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.-Praise the Lord. Do you have a praise on the inside working on the outside ....not because of your situation but because you serve a risen Savior today. Thank you Lord for grace and mercy that we can come boldly before throne of grace so that we find help in our time of need. Many times the devil wants to make us feel like a failure at doing things God's way so that we fall away from the faith. By turning away from the things of God rather then running to God at the alter. The devil is up to his same old tricks through DISCOURAGEMENT for there is nothing new under the sun. But you being worthy to has nothing to do with your goodness you can never be good enough it would require perfection but everything to do with God's grace. God's grace is still sufficient for whatever the need! Therefore if your in the need of saving, renewing, restoring grace don't from the House of God run into it grace and is mercy there put your all on the alter. There is forgiveness and fullness of joy for your soul receive it today. Psalms 30:5 For God's anger endures but a moment; in his favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. 6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

Greater Revelation Through God's Word

I have read this passage many times and I never got the full understanding of the passage until today. Proof that A.) it pays to meditate on the Word of God and B.) reading same scripture more then once is wise, not for mere repetition but for true understanding of its full meaning. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all you have obtained get understanding. Proverbs 4:7 . With the reading of these scriptures again today, all that I can say is Amen to that!!! If you have questions about the beginning of the WORD or the WORLD they both have the same answer HIS NAME is JEHOVAH HE IS GOD. The only true and living God who stepped nothing but His Word and made EVERYTHING. The Creator creating, simply by HIS voice God saying let there be and it was so through the process of seven days. By God doing something different each day the universe is displayed in its splendor with everything needed for abundant life and there was NOTHING missing or broken. So I want to ask today, when was last time that you who know who you are having been made in the image of God, said "let there be" and it was so. Now apply understanding to these scriptures.... John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

When You're Following Hard After God Your Friends Are Few

THIS WAS SUCH A POWERFUL REVELATION FOR ME>>>> When you are truly serving God your circle will get smaller I guarantee it, for Bible says that narrow is the way leads to everlasting life and few that find it. So what path are you going to take and are you going to be a part of the many or the few, because it might just might be a lonely road sometimes along the narrow way where friends are few! But oh what a friend we have in Jesus. When you connect yourself to people in spirit and space, there is a spiritual principle at work called the power of agreement/impartation...in which the spirit in operation in the people around you will multiply among and within you be it good or evil. That is why the Bible warns not to be unequally connected to unbelievers. That is why many of us are still bound even as believers, by our ties to people even our family can be a hindrance when you are trying go forward in God and your connected to people with familiar spirits that keep you in bondage to sin by always going back. Your deliverance is not in where you were that is why God desires to bring you out where you are with a mighty deliverance to bring into your divine purpose. Come out from among them be ye separated and renew your mind! But during this transition the carnal(ungodly) minded people, who will remind you who you were "when" and who cares about that God doesn't for who the Son sets free is free indeed. The new me knows and accepts the old me for what she was...."I was who I was and I am who I am and I'm alright with both of those people" -Steve Harvey Galatians 1:10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ

Being A True Shepherd Over The Sheep In This Season

WARNING- Men and women of God many in the last days will come to you preaching another gospel, Paul warns us about this in Galatians! Every word in the scriptures MUST be fulfilled.... PAY ATTENTION!!! Pastors and preachers alike you must be on your watch for the flock and for yourselves for the possible wolves going among the sheep, be careful who you bring before the people "preaching", "teaching" or 'speaking" to them things that do not line up with the Bible... especially your young or immature ones in the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ. Young ones are not as able to discern and are easily discouraged and may fall away the from the faith, DO NOT cause them to stumble. Deuteronomy 4:2 Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you. God's commands is in His Word and many are manipulating the scriptures to justify what they want to do even in the church, for it is an evil day and they know that their teachings and actions is contrary to the Word of God, BEWARE of these people. Galatians 1:6- I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 which is really no gospel at all, Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted in the saving knowledge of the truth, let them be under God’s curse!

Remembering What True Love Is

Love is an issue that is talked about often throughout the Bible because of its paramount importance in our daily lives. I remember that love is everywhere that God is, for God is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. But when faith and hope is lost love will soon follow for there is no longer a foundation to secure the love in a relationship. So June 3, 2003, I walked out of an abusive marriage and into a new life with Christ, so I refer to this as my "Independence Day" Because I had learned/internalized so much about what love wasn't during that time in my life that I needed to be reminded of what love was in its entirety God's way. So as I sit here thinking about the goodness of the Lord in sparing my life from dangers seen and unseen in my marriage, I truly believe that none of us know all the ways that God has protected us through the years and with that thought.... I remember that God is the ultimate source of love. 1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres 8 .Love never fails! So as we go through life today remember to love God's way! Agape.....
