 Cry Hear my cry, O' Lord..... There are times we have to do something different to draw God’s attention to our situation. We have to cry out and ask him to help us, especially when we are feeling low or sad. There is an awesome song that goes “pass me not of gentle savior, hear my humble cry, while other thou are calling, please don’t pass me by”. And it’s a powerful song when you sit and think about it. You are asking the Lord to bless you even though others are calling. That’s total faith, when you don’t care what is going on around you but you are focus on the Lord himself. You are focused to point where you are saying, Lord even though you have to help others, help me, don’t pass me without first attending to my prayers or my situation. And as Believers that how we must pray, with that certainty that God, I don’t care who is standing by, help me, because I am your child. You have to do something different every time to draw God’s attention. Don’t get tired of p

 Trust Trust the Lord...... It’s amazing when you totally, put your trust in the Lord, you will always receive the VICTORY! Many times, we try to battle in our own strength, but then we realize it doesn’t work. However, when your hope and trust is in the Lord, you can conquer all things through Christ Jesus who strengthen you. You know longer feel broke, bust or disgust. Rather you are empowered, by his words, his grace and mercies for he will always see you through. The word for day is simple, you don’t have to worry or be afraid. God has everything under control. Just know once you give it to him, it’s finished. Just trust and trust and trust and trust that you have the Victory! In fact the word of God said …“ Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. 14 The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”(Exodus 14:13-14). Amen

Sacrifice

Image
Time Trust in the Lord........ What is sacrifice? It’s doing something in order to receive another thing that is going to help you increase. For instance, when God allowed his only son, Jesus to die for us, it was a sacrifice. God had to give up his son, in order to save our souls, so that we may have life and be able to live it abundantly. Jesus died and many of us are saved because of him, because he was our sacrifice. He took our place of death and in return we are free through the blood of Jesus. Everyone wants to be blessed. Everyone wants the best in life. As a matter of fact, every good and bad person wants better. But not everyone is willing to pay the price. Not everyone is willing to make a sacrifice. Not everyone is willing to trust in the Lord with all their hearts and lean not to their own understanding. Not everyone wants to pray, fast or plants seeds. Not everyone is willing to lose something to gain another. As I was in deep mediation, I thought of the di

Provider Trust in the Lord, at all TIMES!!!! God is amazing and when you cry out to him, he has an amazing way of letting you know, he care for you. How many of you can testify of his greatness? When you look back at some situations in your life, you know without a doubt that God was keeping you. As I was meditating with God, I realize that it is true that he send some situations to test us and other times, the enemy just invites himself, in. Nevertheless, when your complete trust is in the Lord, he will make a way out.  For I recognize that if you don’t have a relationship with Christ, Jesus for yourself, you can be misled by others, because people can misuse the scriptures and the words of God to control others. Even in such circumstances, where a person feels they can control a person, God will deal with them, because his words are not to be used to keep others in suppression or oppression.  But to lift them up to know who he is and how much he cares for each of us.

 Follow In order to succeed in life, we need to follow instructions and directions. At times, following instruction can be very difficult, especially, when you are the type of person who likes to figure thing out, on your own. On the other hand, when you are a detail oriented person you can sometime, missed the “big picture”. However, if you only pay attention to the “big picture”, you can miss the details. Regardless, of your style of learning, Christ way is always, the best way. Nevertheless, he encourages us to use wisdom.  Wisdom teaches you how to balance out everything you do. God directs and navigates us through our problems. But,  if  you are not humble enough, you will miss your exit. And when you are on a mission, you cannot afford to miss your exit.  The other day, I went to church and the Pastor shared with us six things we should be mindful of when we are serving the Lord. He made it straight and clear. It was helpful, because unconsciously we might only do one or

Thanks

 Give Trust in the Lord, at all TIMES........ Always give thanks to God, despite how things are looking and feeling. We must learn to give him thanks in good times, in between times and bad. For it is said when the praises goes up the blessings comes down. It doesn’t matter where you are today, give thanks. Your bills are backing up, give thanks. You have court story, give thanks. You just lost you job, give thanks. When home seems to be falling apart, give thanks. Whatever is going on, give thanks, for he is good all the time in all situation. It’s when you least expect God will turn things around for you benefit and his glory. Don’t worry about others. Don’t worry about what going on around you. Keep your eyes focus on Jesus. Trust that he will never leave you or forsake you. Rest assured that he is sure to rescue you and the fire will not burn you. Do you trust in him? Again I say give thanks unto the Lord for he is good. Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands

 Slip It’s amazing what your praises can do. When you mind is made up and your heart set on Jesus, all mountains can be moved. All situations can be changed. Everyone impossible begins to look possible. All sorrows begin to look like joy. All weakness begins to feel like strength. What a mighty and awesome God we serve. One who is always in the business of doing great things! So he will receive the glory and we reap the benefits. My friends don’t stop trusting in the Lord. Don’t be frustrated or get tired of doing good. Don’t take your eyes off of Jesus. But stay steadfast in his might and will. The Psalmist wrote,   “Truly God is good to Israel, To such as are pure in heart.2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; My steps had nearly slipped.3 For I was envious of the boastful, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked” (Psalm 73:1-3). And my God there are times when we too feel that God is not working and he has forgotten us and we tend to take our eyes off of him. But g

Power Most of us know that life and death lies within our tongue. Words have power and it can either heal or hurt a person. And many times in life some people consciously or unconsciously love to say what they want, when they want and how they want. With no regards of how it can affect a person. Likewise vice-versa, if we are not carefully of how we react to people when they speak to us, it could cause damage. But thank God for blood of Jesus. When your trust is in Christ Jesus, he teaches you self-control.  Many times people feel because you are a Christian, you are a fool. They fail to realize that it is wisdom, when you have self-control and that it is God, who is going to fight your battle. Today, you might find yourself upset and want to tell some people off. But Wait a minute! Waiting, waiting and breathing! Give it to God, for he will defend you. In fact the word of God said, “…, listen and understand. 11 What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what

Only Believe

God is able It is said that if you have faith like a mustard seed you can move mountains. And let me say that is so true when you believe for changes. Yet when the intensity of your situation presses on you, you can find yourself doubting because of fear. But let me say when you are trusting in the Lord, you will feel the pressure, yet it will NOT over take you. Many times you have to remind yourself of God promises over and over and over until you feel better. Don’t think that you can speak to it one time and it gets better. No the enemy will speak over and over until he gets you to believe a lie. But when you know who you are and whom you belong too, you better be, prepare to reject all the negative words and speak positive ones until you see changes. My friend, I too have struggles but I never stop believing because I have learned to understand, God works best when I believe. He responds when I hold on to my faith and trust in his promises until the end. Sometimes, I ha

 Trust Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper” (Psalms 1:1-3) There are times the road gets rocky, but you must stay grounded in the word of God at all times. You have to be determined not to trust in what you see or hear but to trust in the word of God. You have to stay steadfast and know that God doesn’t give to you what you cannot handle. And if you are on that rocky path, know that he is always with you. Whose report will you believe? Let it be the report of the Lord. When trials come, we all must go through them ourselves. Your friends cannot help you, no one but God can save you. Yes people can pray and encourage you

Love

 Jesus… God loves everyone, despite their faults and needs. It doesn’t matter if you are rich, poor, ugly, pretty, thief, in between, etc. What is the key is that God loves you despite how people see you. As we are followers of Christ, He wants us to show love to others and love ourselves as well. For, He said, I came into the world so they may know the Truth. When Christ walked the earth, He saw an excellent spirit, within non-believers to trust in Him. That's why; so many miracles were performed and today we even see greater miracles. You do not need to be “good” to enter into the kingdom of God. All you need is to recognize and acknowledge that Jesus, Christ is the Lord and Savior. Let’s look; at Paul, who was original named Saul, he was bad and ugly. The bible says he killed many people who believe in Jesus. Nevertheless, God chose and used, Paul in His Kingdom, to write many books in the Bible, which empowers us today.  This is what the Lord have to say about you “But

Plans

  Motivated Let God be in your plans..... To win any battle, you have to be motivated. You have to be ready for a war. But before the war, you must have a plan on how you will defeat your enemy. Nevertheless, Christ MUST first, be, in your plan. You will not win any battle without him. You might get a little victory, but to kill the enemy dead, never to return, you need Jesus. As I thinking, about the many victory King David had I realize he was motivated. He didn’t lean on his own understanding, nor did he fight in his own strength. At present time, for those of us who truly serve and trust in the Lord, we are aware that God is our only hope and source. Many people in the Bible knew this, and this is why we today, who are better off than them, should recognize it. In past, they had to wait to hear from the Lord, but now he lives inside of us and we can access, him anytime. Amen, Hallelujah. When we look at the passage in first Samuel 30, we would see King David was face

 Jesus “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11). There no greater friend, like the one we have in Jesus. Everyone day as I met and talk with people, I try my best to express that Jesus is our friend. I say talk to him like you are talking to a friend standing in front of you. Most time when you have a true relationship with Christ, you find that he has a great sense of humor. He tells you something in the stillness, of your quiet time and all you can do is laugh. I love the Lord and I love to talk about him. I don’t think there is a day, minute or second, where I don’t acknowledge him. Not because I want to be special, but because I understand that I need him, every minute and second. When I met people and they say I am struggling with this or that or I have this problem, I always say you need to pray and give it to Jesus. I don’t try to make it seem that God is onl

 Amazing Jesus is our friend..... Have you ever sit down and watch at all the things the Lord has done for you? Isn’t it amazing when you see all the victory he has given to you, because you know without a doubt, had it not been for him, you could not have done it? Sometimes, I sit and think how God has the strength to do it. But then I realize no wonder he is God alone, because he is supreme and he is equip to handle all we cannot handle. I do believe that’s why he tell us to come to him all who is weary and heavy led and he shall give us rest. If you are wondering how big our God is I suggest you put him to the test. Whatever trials, whatever storms, whatever situation you are in, surrender it all to him and allow him to take full control. My friends, it’s not until you completely give your life to God that the storms of live begins to rage more. Not because of God, but simple because your eyes has been open. The veil has been removed and you can truly understand who C

 Trust “Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You” (Psalm 56:3. God is amazing and wonderful and he doesn’t cease to help us even in trials. Have you even been in a situation and you feel as though you cannot handle it. Everything and everyone seems to be against you. But when your trust is in Jesus you can assess the situation and clearly see that’s a trick from the enemy to bring confusion.  Well I had such a day yesterday, but instead of reacting, I listen, and I spent the entire day praying. After praying about the problem, I clearly realize that had I not been calm and cool I could have gotten myself in hot waters. But because I trust in the Lord, I called the individuals back and ask them to go over the issues and I clearly saw all the flaws of their story and I addressed it. So, I said, to myself, had it not been quick thinking to go back to God with the situation and to take a step back, I wouldn’t have seen the big confusion. Yet, our Bible tells us that confu

 Help Despite how thing are currently looking, don’t through in the towel, just hold on. Help is on its way. God is an amazing God who never ceases to stop helping and guiding us, once we keep our part to trust and acknowledge him. Sometimes as I sit and look at situation in my life and around me, I cannot stop thanking the Lord because I know he is my defender. For I acknowledge that none of the battles I face is mines, but the Lord. Don’t get frustrated and don’t come out from under the covering of God, because know once he is for you, who can be against you. Today we live in a world where people are jealous of others. No one wants to work for their own. Rather the desire others people blessings and spend endless time trying to obtain it. But thank God for Jesus because when he is the one who is covering your home, family and friend, no weapons forming against you or your loved ones shall prosper. “Give ear to my prayer, O God, And do not hide Yourself from my supplicati

Time Out

 Relax Relax, in the Lord's presence... “But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31) Sometimes, we have to learn how to take a timeout from everything and just relax. If you are a person like me, you feel like everything needs to be done on time and be in placed before you start another project. And sometimes, when we have extra things on our plate, and it doesn’t seem to fit in our schedule, we can become overwhelm. Recently, there were something I had to get done, for my house and my person life. Not to mention the things I already have on my plate to care for my family, my job and writing my blog and empower everyone, I meet about the word of God. But when you have other things that need to be taken care of as well, you have to make time. As I tried to do everything trusting in the Lord of course, I had to take a timeout. I had to

Sincere Heart

God loves…. It’s amazing that we can go to God, daily and ask for strength. In order to live a fulfill life we need Christ, Jesus. For he knows, everything, he is the solution to all your problems, he is the redeemer, he is the provider, he is the healer, he is, the Great I AM. Today, you might be faced with some trials, but don’t forget who you serve. Know that you don’t serve a dead god, But a God who lives forevermore.  We no longer have to carry our burdens around. Rather all we have to do is surrender all to Jesus, for his burdens are light and his yoke is easy. The key is to keep pushing, until you see what the Lord has promised to you. Don’t lose hope or heart over your problems. Many times the enemy wants you to give up. He hopes that you will get frustrated and give up. But he is thief. And when you are a WINNER, you never quit! All you have to do is give your problems to God and he will work it out. Sometimes, it is hard to let go and let God. But when you trust God

Hold on  Christ is working it out.... “Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper”(Psalm 1:1-3) There are times when they storm seems to be raging too loud, but within the mist of everything stay strong and be still. Know that God is your present help in time of trouble. He promises not to leave us of forsake us. Hope and hope some more. Trust and trust some more. Pray and pray some more. Fast and fast some more. Whatever you do, don’t give up or stop trusting in the Lord. Trials come to test our faith and during these tests if your faith holds strong in the Lord you will always get the victory. We will be rooted in the word of

Praises

 Amazing God, is with you..... It’s amazing what praises can do. You never have to worry when your hope is in the Lord. The more you learn to trust and stand on his promises the less things affect you. Because you know who you are and whom you belongs too. God is so amazing and when you sit and think about all the things he has done for you and the things he saved you from, it’s no wonder there is NO other god like Him. He is the God, who is in a category by Himself. My friends, it doesn’t matter how thing looks right now. Keep trusting in the Lord. Keep standing on his promises, and rest assured that he will see you thought. There is nothing he cannot do. I don’t care how the storms is ragging at his voice it can be calm. Don’t be afraid but know, and know God will never forsake. Again I say it’s amazing what praises can do. When we worship God, during our trials, it shows him that we trust and we believe he will make away.  Rejoice and rejoice, for he is faithful. The

 Blessings God is with you... Welcome to new month. This is still the year of expansion and God has not forgotten you. Yes, even though your blessings are tarrying, they will come to pass. You have to be excited and in faith that God words, cannot go back to him void. You must rest assured that he is not a man to promise and not fulfill. When you know who you are and whom you belong too, you hold to the promise that if God is for you, who can be against you. You don’t allow the negative things of life to affect your faith to trust and stand on his promises and words. Rather you strengthen your faith by believing that he will come through for you. Don’t allow the time of your situation or condition, doubt, if God is with you. As he was with you in the past, he will be with you now. My friends don’t despite your small beginnings. Don’t doubt God. Don’t give up or given in. But hold fast to your faith to trust in the Lord even more. Know that nothing is too big or too small
