 Faithful God is amazing and I thank Him because he is faithful. As I mediate in quiet time yesterday, I was feeling overwhelm. Nevertheless, I have learned to surrender all to Jesus. I don’t know but God is magnificent because he has a lot to deal with and yet he gets it all done. No wonder he said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” (Mathew 11:28). It’s such a powerful verse when you are struggling or trying to figure things out. If you are like me, I like to know what next beforehand. I like to sometimes, know what I am getting myself into before I get in. But God does not always work that way. Our goal is to trust him, despite how we feel, think, and know.  And many times when we try to figure things out we can become burden. But when we learn to surrender all and trust in the Lord and lean not to our own understanding, thing work out for our benefit and for the glory of God. I don’t know what you are struggling wi

 Lord Trust, God...... “The Israelites had traveled in the wilderness for forty years until all the men who were old enough to fight in battle when they left Egypt had died. For they had disobeyed the Lord, and the Lord vowed he would not let them enter the land he had sworn to give us—a land flowing with milk and honey”.(Joshua 5:6) Don’t be trap like a bird in the snare. There are times you can find yourself walk around and around in circles. Just like the children who were in Israel. The Lord promises them the land flowing with milk and honey and yet they found themselves 40 years wondering. Why is it? Because they were complaining, they were doubting God. They were caught with the “what ifs” and is it possible. Every time, the met a road block, instead of asking God to remove it, they mummer. My friends God has given each of a promise and how we choose to accept it, is on us. Yes, we all want to be blessed and be blessings. But they will be road blocks, nevertheless,

Rainbow

 Rain Trust the Lord, for your rainbow “The Lord is my Light and my Salvation—whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge  and Stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?”(Psalm 27:1) It is amazing that after the rain, the rainbow comes out. It looks beautiful and it reassures that the sun will shine again. It is as though the rain only fell for a few moments. As you look at the rainbow, its amazing color reminds you of how awesome our God is. Have you ever felt like; it is always raining on your parade? It’s doesn’t matter what you do or where you go, you can't seems to find your way. We guess what; know that after every storm, the sun must shine. Know that God is your rainbow in your rain. My friends, you must know who you are and whom you belongs to. Don’t allow disappointments of yesterday or even today stop you from trusting in the Lord. Recognize that there is power in the name of Jesus, to break every yoke. It’s doesn’t matter how bad the storm is

My God is… We all go through something. The going through is not the concerns. It’s who you are trusting while going through and how you come through. Nothing in life is easy. We all must work in order to receive. But let me say, you cannot do anything in your own strength. Again I say you CANNOT do anything in your own strength because that’s when you will end up, feeling burned out, stress out, overwhelm, etc. Today we find my people with different health issues and problems. I am starting to realize that it problems and stress that causes most of these issues and other times, it there and God is giving us an opportunity to trust in in even more and he will deliver us. I don’t care what you are facing, and who is against you. But I want to say stand your ground and trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not to your own understanding. You must realize that our God is awesome. There is no like him, he is mighty and great. He is a healer, deliverer and protector and

Burdens

Give to Jesus Cast your burdens, unto to Jesus.... There is an awesome song that goes “cast your burdens unto to Jesus for he cares for you.” And even though it is a true saying that we should not worry and cast our burden unto to Jesus many people only cast something instead of all things.  They find themselves walking around with an invisible backpack which is casting them down instead.  This pack is full of angry, rejection, low self-esteem, hurt, jealousy, etc. But when Jesus says, give it all to him, he means everything and he will always set us free, when we are standing on his promises and his words. Backpack!!! Here you are walking around with an invisible weight You feel heaviness, but no one can see, it You see a therapist, Yet, they cannot help you You speak, to your family Yet, they don’t see it You speak, to your peers Yet, no reliefs Yes, it is there, that backpack, which weights over a ton. You just cannot see it. But, it exists, and you

Housekeeping

 Clean Allow God to help you keep clean..... Most people like a clean house or even new things. But in order to have a clean place or have new things you have to work for it. You have to spend time cleaning your home so it would always look nice. Or you have to work in order to get paid so you purchase the new clothing you need or want. In any case both require work. As I spend some time over my school break to clean my home and run errands, I normal don’t have time to do it was refreshing. My home feels lighter and less clutter. My errands were accomplished and I fell refreshed. As I sit and thank the Lord for helping me to accomplish all that I need to do, it came in my spirit that many people need to clean their spiritual life. They need to uncluttered bad behaviors, hurts, malice, anger etc. In order for us to see the glory of God we cannot walk around with heaviness, in our life or heart. We have to learn how to surrender all to Jesus. We have to clean our heart, so

At the Cross

Jesus Loves me…. Jesus Loves you and me... “Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. 2 The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe 3 and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!” And they slapped him in the face” (John 19:1-3). It’s a blessing that Jesus died, for us so that we may have life and life more abundantly. As I read the story of Jesus crucifixion and resurrection in John chapters 19-20, it is amazing. I thought to myself that is true love, from Jesus our Heavenly Father. Words, cannot explain my thoughts or feelings, but God is LOVE.  As the people thought they were crucifying him because he claimed to be the son of the God, little they knew He was. Just like many of us, when the enemy tries to cause harm to us, Jesus always turns it around for our benefit. And that’s how it was, they thought they were getting rid of him, but he was coming back stronger than before. He was r

 God is good “Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal”( Isaiah 26:4) God is always with you... It doesn’t matter the intensity of the fire you are currently in know God is always with you and he will never leave you or forsake you. Yesterday, I saw one of my neighbors and it was such a pleasure to speak with her. She is facing some difficulties, but I said, let us pray about it. God is always in control. Every one of us goes through something, including me. Whether it is in your home, children, family, work etc. the devil tries to show his ugly face. But nevertheless, when you know who you are and whom you belong too, you can stand the heat because you know God will deliver. It’s is not until you come to know who God truly is, that’s when the enemy fights you more. Not because you are a child of God. But simply because the veil was remove from your eyes and you can see clearly. You know that God has died to set you free, and you no

Rejection

 Elevate Trust in the Lord...... “ Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” So they were offended at Him.4 But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.” 5 Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching”.(Mark 6:3-5) There are times when you feel rejected by men and it hurts. But that’s when you know God has something better in store for you. Sometimes, you question yourself because you think people would be happy that you are elevating, but then it hits you like ton of bricks, that they are truly not happy. That’s why it is important for you to have your faith, trust and hope in the Lord at all times. For he will never leave, you or forsake. Ye

Confidence

 Delay Trust, the Lord at all times....... Sometimes, in life we forget where the Lord our God had brought us out of. As I mediate on Hebrew 10:35-37, “So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For in just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay.” I thought to myself, how many times we are in a battles or struggles and we ever so often want to give up. May it be a situation in our family, marriage, job, health, finances, etc. we must trust in the Lord. I discover it is not the time to give up or give into the enemies’ traps and tricks. For it is better to put, and hold your trust in God. For He, is the only one who sit above and watches below.  You have to encourage you self and ask the Lord for strength on a daily basic to overcome the situation(s). My friends, be encourage, this is Holy week and great things are happenin

Free

 Jesus Jesus, I love....... Our freedom was brought with a price. That price was death. Yet we have life. We can choose between life and death. Know that your life is in God hands.  God loves us that he send, his only son Jesus to die on the cross. It is at the cross; you have been set free from bondages. At the cross, we now have life. At the cross our savior died for us. At the cross, sin has no power over us. At the cross, it is where life begins. Oh that sweet cross, that Jesus carried for us. All those 39 lashes he received were for us. By his strips we are healed. My God, oh my God we love you so much. I don’t know about you but, I love the Lord so much because he died for me. He is the only God who rose on the third day and he forever lives. He is the Alpha and Omega. He is the great I am. The Lord has been so great and wonderful to us. We need to just take time to say thank you, Lord. Lord, I thank you for all your greatness, your mercies, your peace, your love and k

Supply

 Lord Lord, my trust is in you...... It’s such an honor to service the Lord all mighty. When you are a Believer of the word of Jesus, Christ, you are no longer any ordinary person. But you are a blessed child of the Most High God (in my opinion). The God we serve is no ordinary God. He is powerful and he always takes care of those who diligently seek him. When I sit and look at where I am today, before I had completely surrendered my life to God, there’s no way, I could have made it on my own. But the word of God, states He knows each of us before we were in our mother’s womb. And when you think of it, that’s deep because who knows us best than our Creator and Maker. He knows all our needs and He always supplies it when our hopes are in him. Last night I had a quiet moment to sit and read. So I read Psalms, 100. I have read it many times before, but on verse stands out this time. It said “Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;[a]We

Alone

 God is….. Whose report will you believe? You are never alone, because God is always with you. He is with you from the beginning and he will be with you to the end. God is God and he is God alone! He was on the throne and he still continues to be there. There is no other god who can compare to him. It’s amazing that our God (Jesus) will reign forever, and we can access him, anywhere and anytime. We don’t need to burn any alter, but make sure our heart is open and receptive to him. He doesn't look for perfection, but, he looks for a clean heart. Don’t allow your faults to stop you from running to him. Don’t be like the wind, drifting without any directions. Be solid in your mind, body, soul, and spirit that God is God and he will do what he promises. Know that he is not a man to promises and not fulfill. Remember he doesn't work on our times, but his. He doesn't need us to take matters into our own hands, but he wants us to trust in him. He wants us to believe

Healthy

We can do it…. Is your Spiritual man in shape? It is important to have a healthy body and mind. For some of us, we always keep our spiritual life healthy and our physical body is lacking. It can be vice versa. Nevertheless, in order to keep our sanity it is important that we find balance. For those of us, who are in Christ Jesus, we know he is our balancer. Well, let me tell you, lately I have been slacking in physical strength. I was not taking care of myself, like I suppose too. So as I look it the mirror, I ask myself who are you? Only to discover, it is me, but not “the me”, I want to be (lol).  So I decide that I start back exercising in the morning, but let me tell you, to get back at it, it was hard at first.  Then I as I try my best every day it is becoming easier. Likewise, when you are lacking in your spiritual life, you have to make time and get into the word.  When someone tells you what the word said, you will not just take what you hear, but you will examine i

Faith  My hope is in you, Lord... Can anyone see your faith? Of course not, you can tell them what you want to do and sometimes, they will encourage you and other times, they will put you down.  But when you are determine, I mean really determine, you can and will overcome any situation, road blocks or obstacles in your way. You would not let anything or anyone stop you. You will be like an express train that don’t stop. You will only stop at your destination. Each and every one of us has faith. We all have things, we want to accomplish and many times we believe we will.  When we do accomplish our heart desire, it represents our faith.  Faith is your determination to succeed in life. The bigger your faith, the more determine you are. That’s why the Bible said, “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrew 11:1).  Wow, that's deep. Think about it, for a moment. I encourage you not to ever give up. I don’t know what struggles y

 Confusion Prayers, always help through TRIALS... “For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints” (1 Corinthians 14:33) It’s such a true saying that misery loves company. There are people who are just straight up miserable and love confusion and when you see them you know you have to pray and avoid them. The Bible tells us that confusion is not of God and you best believe it's not. Not because a person goes to church or claim to pray that means, they are of God. Recently as I observe a situation in my household, I decide that I will pray it through. I would not be the vindicator and take matters into my own hands because as a child of God the battle is never mines, but the Lord. Most time we have to fight through prayer and it doesn't matter how the devil comes, you must be prepared to fight him off through prayers and sometimes fasting. From the time he pops his ugly head up you have to fight him right away. Don’t wait

Rewrite

 Story As you wait on your blessings, you have to change your negative story. A narrative helps you to rewrite your story to more positive one. In other words, start to change your thinking to line it up with the word of God. Christ teaches us that we, should “ not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect” (Romans 12:2). This simply means that in order for change to take place in your life, it begins in your mind. However, be very careful, for it is the thoughts of our mind that causes us to have a victory or to be defeated. Just as God wants us to be transform by the renewing of our mind, the enemy is trying to fight us for it. (The devil is always a looser), in Jesus name. Amen. You must realize and know that you cannot fight any battle without Christ Jesus being a part of you. Don’t think for one minute that you can do it on your own because yo

Peace Stop and talk with Jesus... There are times, when fighting for your loved ones it seems to be very difficult. It hurts more, when they very one you are fighting for, is the one who is against. The word of God tells us, that we fight not against flesh and blood, but spiritual wickedness in high place. But I tell you, sometimes, when you are feeling the pressures you don’t want to hear that you are fighting against NOTHING. Instead, you can and is sometimes, preoccupied with the problems. For I discover yes, God's words sounds easy, but when it is you who is being tested, O no, it feels like a different story. You want to take matters into your own hands, but that’s when you have to encourage yourself with the word of God. Holding your peace for the appropriate time to speak, can be difficult, but is possible when it is God’s PEACE you are seeking. Times, after times, I heard He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led like a lamb to

 God Jesus, is the answer..... Patience is truly divine, when you are waiting on the Lord. The beauty about patience, is when your complete trust is in the Lord, alone you know that he will always rescue you, despite, what your natural eyes is seeing. Sometimes, while waiting the time seems like it’s not moving and other times it is moving too fast. Nevertheless, God is always on time. Today, I give God praise because he did not give to me, my blessings when I thought I need it. Rather it was on his time. Had I receive my blessings too earlier, I would have missed his true power being manifest in my life. I would be lost in the world without any hope for my future. However, when Christ Jesus is in your live, it is with a certainty that you can always face tomorrow. Can you look back and see how God’s grace has brought you through some situations, you thought was hopeless? As I look back at my old life, I can see, it was God’s grace and mercies that keep me going, for so long

 Blooming This is a new month and a new day to receive blessings from the Lord. Yes this is still year of expansion. The Lord has promise many of us blessings and though many of them will tarry, it will come to pass. God is not a man to promise and not fulfill. I don’t know about you, but I could never receive too much from God. I love to receive and give to others as well. I strongly believe you could never have too much in the kingdom of God. Everyone wants to be blessed. Not everyone is willing to make the sacrifice to receive that which they desire. Many times before your break through, all seems to go wrong. But that’s when you trust in the Lord even more. When everything is coming against, be still and know that God is God. Know that he will never leave you or forsake you. Know all the plans he has is to help you prosper and he cares for those who diligently seeks, him. What do you trust in the Lord for? Keep trusting, don’t give in or give up. It’s when you least
