God is with You!

Fear is an emotion that can paralyze a person. According to the dictionary, fear means to “to be afraid or apprehensive”. The Bible tells us “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me” (Psalm 23:4). However, there are times when you are walking through that valley and you forget the word of God, which says he will always be with you.

I like to watch a show called “Untold Stories of ER”. There was one story that strikes me; there was a young man who was rushed to ER, non-responsive to any questions asked of him. He was in a catatonic stage (to be paralyzed with no body movement). The only sounds came out his mouth was a lot scream of person who needs help. Every so often he would just scream out. His wife said he was healthy man. All test results were normal. The only thing left was to give him psychiatric meds in hopes that it would help him.

When the nurse went to administrate the meds and bent towards the man, she discovered a bug in one of his hears. Apparently, when the bug touches his ears drum he would scream. It was removed and when the man came to his conscious mind, he said, that he always had a fear of bugs begin in his ears, and when he realizes the bug was actually there he was overcome by fear and unable to talk about it. Due to his fear he became paralyze and could not have spoken to others to let them what had happened.

As I thought about his incidents, the thoughts ran through my mind of how many people are currently paralyzed by fear where they cannot speak to someone or ask for help. It a spirit from the devil himself, to keep people living in fear and this cause them to become paralyzed or cripple where they are unable to move. Even some of us who are believers, sometimes have things that we are afraid of. But we must remember that we served a God who is bigger than FEAR. I believe this a spirit that needs to be recognized and once you acknowledge that it is there, give it to Jesus.

We must get into the habit of reminding ourselves of word and promise of God which states,
“The LORD is my light and my salvation-- whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalms 27:1)
“The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” (Psalm 118:6)
“You who fear him, trust in the LORD-- he is their help and shield” (Psalm 115:11)
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."(Deut. 31.6)
“When I am afraid, I will trust in you.  In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?” (Psalms 56:3-4) and the list goes on.

We have to encourage ourselves with the Word of God to overcome that spirits of fear in our lives. There are times I get afraid, when I have to get something done, especially, when I have tackled that situation many times without any success. I start to get that feeling deep down, but then I begin to pray and remind myself if God is for me, who can be against me. I will tell you this much, I will not let anything stop me from overcoming. I will try and even without success the first time, I will keep trying again and again until I have the victory. The Lord has promised you and me many things, but the enemies try to make you feels as though God is not going to come through. But HE IS A LIAR FROM THE PITY OF HELL. MY Bible and the word of God tell me, though it tarries, it will come to past. I receive it in Jesus name. Amen. What about you? Are you going to allow fear to stop you? I hope NOT! Be blessed and speak to the Lord about your fears.

 Trust God is Faithful The Lord we serve is a God who is organize, and he is not of confusion. How many of you are currently in some type of problems? Whether it is on your job, school or home, it seems to be some type of conflict. But you must realize these disputes are not of God, for the Lord we serve is a God of order and flow. When Jesus is in your life things will begin to flows, the way he sees fit. It’s like when you look at a river, you see the water flowing down stream. And it is so, with Christ Jesus, things always flow nicely. However, there are times when the water is raging. The water represents your situation or problems. It is making noises, too loud for you to handle. Now you find yourself asking, what I am going to do. You ask the Lord, how long should I wait?  Yet it seems, like the Lord is not listening and you are going under. After you take matters in your own hands, you realize he had heard your cry. You will find that you had moved to quickly...

How to Self-care

-
Image
What is self-care? When we think of self-care, we usually think of a vacation, going to the spa, shopping, or spending time alone. This can be true, but how do you care for yourself when you constantly put everything and everyone in front of you? Whether it is your spouse, family, children, friends, work, etc. Some people consider self-care selfish, but no one will care for you if you don’t care for yourself. There was a time when I cared for everyone, expecting myself. Don’t get me wrong, I still care for others, but I ensure self-care first. When I was people-pleasing, I set no boundaries; I wanted to please everyone except myself. Whether someone asked me to do something, I did it. Whether I was exhausted, I got the task done. One day, I realized I was running on empty, and no one cared. I remember writing a post about not being the energizer bunny, and I didn’t understand then that I was speaking to my inner spirit. People-pleasing can be very dangerous to your mental, physical, an...

Create in me a clean heart Lord Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.2 Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God (Psalm 90:1-2). There is no body like Jesus. My friends every day we must make it our business to connected to God. We have to make sure that our heart is clean and righteous before Him. The days are becoming shorter and shorter and at any moment God can come. The question we must answered, is our priority in order? I don’t know about you but I want to make sure my heart is clean every day before the Lord. I want the Lord to create a clean heart and renew His spirit within me. My friends, check-in to make sure your priority is in good standing with Jesus. Be blessed.

Relax, Jesus is with you! Despite how things 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 they desire other people blessings and spend endless time trying to obtain it. But thank God for Jesus. When He 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 supplicatio...

 Beauty 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 and I thank him. The...

Sabotage

    In life, you will experience many disappointments. But the one person you cannot afford to disappoint is yourself. When everyone has let you down, you must learn to encourage yourself. What does disappointment look like? It looks like when people reject you, when people abandon you when people believe you will turn out to be nothing good, when people on your job try to sabotage your work, when your family doesn’t support you, when people who you have help and though is your friend tells lies on you etc. Disappointment can look different to each of us depending on how you view and see your situation.   I love to talk about my situation because it helps me heal, grow, and develop into the woman God says I am. All my life, I have been disappointed by people. People who don’t believe in me. People who spoke negativity into my life from childhood. People whom I have helped told lies to me. During my school years, people (teachers) thought I would not become anythin...

Bold

Be BOLD in Christ, Jesus! “And now, O Lord, hear their threats, and give us, your servants, great boldness in preaching your word” (Acts 4:29). God is amazing and his love for us endures forever. There are times when situation arise in our life and we must confront it immediately. Don’t wait to assess it rather nip in the roots ASAP before it grows and become a tree. How many of you could recall that when you were in the world you were bold. The minute anyone looks at you the wrong way, you were ready to cut them up with either a look or words. Yes, I raised my hands. Some of you might still be that way, but when the enemy sends trouble your way, your mouth is closed. You begin to cry and in some cases you tell others your problems, well known that they can’t help you. Well guess what, the same boldness you have or would have had, use it to against the enemy. Open your mouth and command everything not of God to be uprooted and return back to the pits of hell. Why waste time ...
