The Answer Is On The Way!!!!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Last night at Bible study, pastor talked about how when Daniel prayed; the scripture says he was heard the first time but opposition was sent to keep the answer from reaching Daniel. It wasn't until Micheal stepped in and fought the opposition that the answer was able to be delivered to Daniel. (Read Daniel 10-12-16) The study scribes talked about how Daniel wasn't aware that his prayer had already been answered so "in faith" he continued to make supplication to God. I said all that to say this.... if we have sent a prayer up to Heaven but haven't received an answer....Hang on! There are forces we don't even know about that would like to keep our answers from reaching us. There is warfare going on all around us to block God's blessings. But there are also Angels fighting for us to make sure we receive those blessings and answers. So I encourage all of us today to began to thank God for our answered prayers because they are on the way! Be Blessed!

Greater Is He!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! We know the story....the ants who are great in number bow down to the grasshoppers who are small in number but have a huge voice! They tell the Ants that unless they gather food for them they will be destroyed. Well to make a long movie short... the ants finally realize, with the help of one ant who refuses to live that way, that if they all bind together they can outsmart and out number the grasshoppers. And in the end they do! The moral of the story? We may be small but we serve a Great Big God! We may be one voice but greater is he that lives inside of us than he that is in the world! When one voice and one action combines with other like voices and other like actions there will be a great move of God!!!! Let's determine today to stop being controlled and stepped on by the enemy of this world but realize that the God that lives on the inside of us has the power to whip any demon that stands against us. He has the power to speak and the turmoil in our lives becomes still. With the stripes he endured our healing is assured! Hallelujah!!! Be Blessed today!!!

He Finishes What He Starts!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! God does not tell you to begin something and then leave you halfway through it. He is a wise builder and an expert craftsman. He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. He finishes what He starts.” Jay Lee Grady Think about this for a minute. God gave each of us a promise. Then he goes about giving us strategies, plans, building materials etc. Now he doesn't give us that all at once. Just like a contractor, each piece comes together when it is time. We must search out the plans, gather our materials, plan strategies, build foundations and all the while we experience set backs, too much rain, high winds, and material back logs. Sound familiar? So our project is taking a little longer. There are examples of this throughout history. But the great part is? That through each constructive part, we learn something new about our trade and we grow! The main thing we learn is that through all the bad times God does not leave us nor forsake us and if we continue our faith in him and hold on, he really does get to finish the work he started in us! Be Blessed!

Nothing Can Separate Us From God's Love!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Thought we could use a reminder about God's love for us today. Romans 8:37-39 says that nothing can separate us from God's love. Not death, nor life, angels or rulers, things present nor things to come, no powers no height, no depth or and I love this part... anything else in all creation! God loves us and that will never change! No matter what we may have done, no matter how far we feel from God, no matter how low we are, God's love is there. He gave his only son for us. He walked through the fire for the Hebrew children. He went looking for that one lost sheep. Let God's love surround us today. Nothing can come between us today! Be blessed!




Romans 8:37-39 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The Sweet Spot!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! When a basketball player makes a goal from a particular area over and over, we call that his sweet spot. We have a sweet spot too. Our sweet spot is that part of us that produces a goal, something good, something sweet. We know where our sweet spot is. It's that part of us that when we use it we get that warm feeling all over. We know that we have done something good! God created that sweet spot in us. That spot from which his spirit can flow. That spot from which our anointing our calling can work. Pay attention to that sweet spot, focus on producing from there more and "sweet" things will happen. Be Blessed!

God Has Got This!!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! John 16:33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” I know I have probably sent this scripture numerous times before but I just love it! Especially in the times we are facing now. This scripture is all the hope and assurance that we need. I love that it sounds like God is saying, "hey I know things look bad, but don't worry, I got this!" So basically all we have to do is rest in him and be of good cheer! When people around us began to speak negative about what is going on....just look at them, smile and say, "God's got this! It's gonna be okay!" God is so good, is he not?! We have only to count our blessings and we know that... it's all good! Be Blessed!

The Living Well!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! John 4:14 But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” Are we drinking from the right well? There are so many things offered to us that seem right, that look good but what do they produce in our lives? When we drink from the living water, great things are produced in our lives. Just regular everyday things cannot fill us up like the living spring that God offers. God's well produces joy, peace, love all the things that make our life better. That spring then flows out of us into others. Our joy can flow into them. Our peace can touch them and most of all our love can cover them! God's well never runs dry. Take a drink and see what God can do! Be Blessed!

The Search For Truth..

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Possession of the truth can sometimes make one indolent, lazy and proud, but the search for truth keeps one active, expectant and humble. (paraphrasing) We should always be searching for truth. We cannot think that we have all the answers and sit down. We cannot assume that we know all there is to know. It is our search for truth that gives us hope. The truth we may find tomorrow could solve all....so we get out of bed and we continue on the journey discovering wonderful new things we never knew. Truth will set us free. It creates a higher ground where when climbed reveals so much more....


Be Blessed!

Is It A Mirage, Or Is It Real?

Good Morning Christian Peeps! What mirage are we chasing? A Mirage is something that appears real or possible but is not. I heard a word from Joyce that was another Aha moment for me. I always wondered why I am constantly wanting to move on to the next thing. Seemingly unsatisfied with where I am. Well, sometimes the enemy creates mirages for us. Those things that appear real but are not. That has been his way of keeping me from fulfilling my purpose. As long as he can keep me searching for that new and better thing he can keep me distracted from my real purpose. I had to take a moment and accept that word into my spirit and ask God to help me stop being distracted with mirages and focus on the real purpose that he has for me. I pray today that we can all recognize that mirage that the enemy has placed in front of us and ask God to remove it and let us see with spiritual eyes where we need to be. Be Blessed!

The River, Our Life....

Good Morning Christian Peeps! If we have ever been on a river we know that the river flows at it's on pace. Sometimes it's fast and other times it's slow. It curves where it wants and does not bend to anyone's demands. Our lives are a little like that. For the most part we are not in control. We flow here and there turning where our lives lead us. Sometimes we grab a branch and try to change the flow but ultimately we end up probably where we were headed anyway and only succeeded in taking a small detour. We can learn from the river though. We can learn to just roll with the tide, paddle to keep ourselves straight and ride out the big waves laughing as the water threatens to drown us. It's so much more fun and peaceful when we just go where the river (life) takes us instead of fighting the river every step of the way. Just like the river we do possess a creator who oversees both journeys. He doesn't interfere unless we ask but once in a while if we get in over our heads he will send a branch to help keep our heads above water. It's not the end destination that the river is wanting but it is simply embracing the journey. Be Blessed!

Change Can Be For Our Good!

Good Morning Christian Peeps!  We are often bombarded with unexpected events.  Sometimes these events can alter our lives and existence immediately.  What we once knew and recognized has now drastically changed.  Or maybe its a small change but it still impacts us in a very real way.  Our first instinct is to fight the change.  Dig in our heels and refuse to move.  We may believe that if we dig in long enough and hard enough things will not change...that somehow we can magically make them return to the way they were.  In reality this is not the case.  Change will happen, that is a given but what separates us is the way we handle change.  Thus enter the scripture Isaiah 43:18-19   Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.  If we can grasp this scripture and know that God is changing things because he knows a better way for us.  He sees the future and whatever change takes place is what needs to be for our good.  He may have to create a river in the desert just for us but you can bet in the long run it will be for our good!  God loves us and has our best interest at heart!  Be Blessed!

We Do Not Have To Be Afraid!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” We all know the story of how the walls of Jericho came down, but do we know that the same God that helped Joshua bring down his walls can help us do the same? Joshua obeyed God. He had his army march around the walls once each day. He followed God's instruction right to the letter. By obeying God he was able to see what God could do to the walls of Jericho. What walls do we have in our lives today? What monumental situation seems to be dominating our lives? We do not have to be afraid of those walls. God is with us wherever we go! Let go and let God show us how to break down those walls. Be Blessed!

What If?

Good Morning Christian Peeps!  What if today instead of running from our fears we turn and run toward our dreams?  What if today we decide that we are done worrying about situations that we cannot control and give them to God?  What if today we said I refuse to just get by, I will put everything I have into today. What if we refuse to be a cloud and instead we shone bright as the sun?  What if today we chose to give ourselves completely to a cause?  What if we decided to stand up for what we believe in?  What if we chose today to make a difference in a hurting world?  Then today could be the success that we have longed for.  Be Blessed!

Be Better! It's Our Right!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! “When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist The greatest part about who we are as human beings is the free will we have to make our own choices. We can choose at any moment to change our paths, and change our ideas to become a better part of ourselves. It's important that we understand it is our right to choose positivity over negativity. It is our right to love harder than ever before. It is our right to stand up for what we believe. It is our right to become better and better at who we are; and when we do everything around us looks better, taste better, feels better...it just is better! . Let's exercise those rights to be all we can be! Be Blessed!
