FIRE, FIRE

 Trusting You are not alone, God is with you They are time, when some situations or problems cause us to ask, if God has our best interested. But let me tell you, he is a loving and a good God. But know they are times some situation arises in our life to test our faith. To see if our COMPLETE trust is in the Lord. Every one of us must face our own trials and tribulations. We must go through the fire, but we must believe that we will not get burned. For the word, of God tell us he will never leave us or forsake us. Nevertheless, when you are faced with the intensity of your burdens and problems, it doesn’t seem like God is with you. But he is always with you, in good and bad times. Don’t be fooled that your situation is bigger than God, because it is NOT!!!! There are times we must take a step back and allow God to work out our problems. Sometimes all we need to do is remind ourselves, of his goodness and mercies. Remind ourselves about our previous victory. Remind ourselves,

Directions God knows what's best. 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 unconscious

Dreams

 Real God is with you!!! How many of you can remember your childhood dreams. Where you used to think you can become anyone or anything. Then soon as you begin to shares your dreams with others, they shut you down. First it begins with “you can do that or be that” etc. But let me tell you, the devil is a liar. When you are a child of God you can become or do whatever your heart desire. (Please think positive lol.) Not all of us are working in the field we desire. Some of us are, while others are just doing something to keep themselves occupied. But it’s never too late. When God has a calling on your life, everything that he promised will come to past.  Today many people are feeling broke, bust and disgust, because they have spent all their life, living or trying to please others. But when God is in control, it doesn’t matter what others say or thinking. You are you and people are people. What dreams and plans are you not fulfilling because of what others are saying?

 Lord As you continue to put your trust in the Lord, know that he will never put you to shame. Even though you might not be where you want to be, keep trusting in the Lord. Know that you will make it, to your destination. Don’t lose hope or focus of your vision. Be aware that God yes, always means yes. He never withholds any good things from us. Sometimes our blessings may tarries, but know when it is time for you to receive and walk into the blessings, no one, not even the devil from the pits of hell can STOP IT! The Lord reminds us to “ be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before. The threshing floors will be filled with grain; the vats will overflow with new wine and oil (Joel 2:23-24). Praise be to his Holy name. Hallelujah! This is God’s promises to us that we must rejoice because he is faithful. In just a matter of time you will

Testing

 Spirit Trust in the Lord, at all times!!! Deceptions are a very hard pill to digest, especially when the deceiver is a loved one. I have thought long and hard trying to understand, but the Lord said it’s not necessary, because the battle is His. As you walk in this light and it shines so bright, you will expose darkness. There is no way darkness can hide when you are walking under God's covering. There are times we think we know a person; only to find out they have deceived you. The hardest part is when the person literally don’t see the harm they have caused. It appears that they look at you as though everything is okay. Deep down inside of you, you fight because you thought it is the right and godly thing to do. Simply to find out that which you are fighting for, did not wanted to be fought for. The Lord said to me do not be deceive even when it sounds promising. But one should make sure you test the spirit. Sometimes you find yourself trap, praying fasting, doing the

 Jesus There are times, we feel as though we have to carry our burdens. How many of you know of the song, that goes “cast your burdens unto Jesus because he cares for you”. Well it’s a power song and we must get use to in cooperating it in our daily walk with God. None of us can accomplish all we want without him. We cannot fix everything and everyone in our lives. But we can pray for improvements. It’s okay to talk to God about everything. Cast your burdens don’t necessary mean your current struggles, you have with others. But also struggles within your personal and spiritual growth with God. He wants to know you fears and frustration. He wants to know your likes and dislikes. Don’t assume that he knows, because not until you ask for his assistance can he works. We sometimes get uses to, “well, God know my problem and he can help me” . Yes he knows, but how can he help, if you don’t ask for guidance. For instance, you can talk to someone that you need a job, but not until you

Move

 Now Run to Jesus There are times we sit and wait on the Lord, to help us. And in reality God is waiting on us to make a move. God also said he will never leave us or forsake. He has given us a choice to choose life or death. Many of us choose life, but still find ourselves not moving. It’s not that God has forgotten or he is too busy. Rather we have to make a choice to move in our situation. Not until we make a choice and start moving can God, begin his work. The time to begin is NOW! Not tomorrow, day after, or next week, but NOW. Wake up and put on your garment to battle for what you want. Start to pray, fast, plant seeds, and begin to worship his holy name. Mainly do what you have to do in order to receive your blessings for your family, friends, and loved ones. Now is not the time to quit! But strengthen yourself in the Lord and work. No one can expect to receive a paycheck if you don’t work. Likewise if you don’t work with God regarding your situation, you will receive

Jesus is the ANSWER!!!  BIBLE Life is challenging, within itself. Many of us are trying to juggle many tasks, before the end of our day. For some of us, we have to work several jobs to make ends meet and care for our family, etc. However, when you involve God in your planning, things always goes smother. He directs our path, assists and guides us, only when we ask for assistance. But, we have to spent time with him. Allow him to become your daily bread and water. Those are two main foods, we cannot live without, and so it is with Christ Jesus, we cannot afford not to have him in your life. Everything in life needs balance, and without balance things would be all over the place. Likewise, those who truly trust in the Lord, is aware that we cannot do anything without his grace and mercy.  As we are faced with life challenges, we should be aware that we ourselves are self-destructive. We are our worst enemy, because we fail to follow God's instruction and direction. We diso

Unconditional Love

   God loves YOU, unconditionally    Perfect It is you I love, says the Lord. Today many people view given their life to Christ as bad things. For some, we think we have to be “perfect” before we gave our live. But the enemies use the word “perfect” to trick many of us. God loves and want you just the way you are. He wants to take care of you despite your faults, because he looks beyond our faults and sees our needs. None of us is perfect including me, but God is PERFECT! The Lord says come as you are. He said: Tear your hearts, not your clothes. Return to the Lord your God. He is merciful and compassionate, patient, and always ready to forgive and to change his plans about disaster (Joel 2:13, GW) Let’s look at Saul who was a murder, before, God changed his name to Paul and used him. Rehab was a prostitute, but God save her and her family. Jacob was a thief, and a liar and God blessed him. Moses was a killer before, God change him and used him to set His people free.

 Blessings   Are you first, second, or third child in your family? It's doesn't matter, but for this purpose, today we will focus on the blessings of a firstborn, child. In the bible it states that the blessings are always passed down to the eldest child in the family. Whoever is the first, they will receive a bigger blessings (that’s does not mean God doesn’t bless other siblings).  However, there are times when a person refuses to follow God's instruction and He transfer the blessings to one who is obedient, to Him. Nevertheless, if you choose not to accept what God is given to you, its own you!  Be mindful, that God can and will transfer the wealth to a more responsible person.  For He is faithful, to those who are faithful and obedient to Him! Let look at the story of Jephthah (book of Judges 11), he was the first born son of Gilead. But because he was born out of wedlock, his family pushed him out of his blessings. They told him, he has nothing to inherit. Wit

Run to Jesus

 Trusting The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,[a] I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (Psalm 23) There are times where you just have to celebrate during your trials. Rejoice because God is with you and he promises never to leave us or forsake. What a mighty God we serve. Oh my friends celebrate this morning and sing a new song unto your Lord. Give him all the honor and praises. Worship His Holy name, for He is above all. God is faithful and his love endures forever. Who are you going to

Order

 Step Always trust in the Lord “Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law” (Psalms 119:133-136). It’s a blessing when the Lord is ordering your step, because you are sure that obstacles will come but you will not be taken under because of your faith to trust is in the Lord. Recently, I had an opportunity to speak with few friends and when you listen to their story most of them are similar. They are suffering in their health, personal life, or finances. And it’s nobody but the devil, who is trying to rob them their peace. Of course my only solutions is to cry out to Jesus, because I know you cannot change nothing on your own without Jesus ordering your steps, or directing your path. We all are faced with some type of trials in our life. Ho
