Accept What God Allows

We are in a very uncomfortable season.  Many are trying to wrap their heads around the outcome of situations. Many are questioning God even mad with him because it is hard to understand what is going on and what will transpire in the days and years to come.  But I want to remind of the words Richard White Clean penned and Twinkie Clark sang.  Those words are needed at this time.

The words are "Accept what God allows.  You're better off anyway.  Face the facts and you will n

Faith-Your Superpower

As I prepared to deliver a message from the gospel according to Mark concerning the woman with the issue of blood, I come to realize the FAITH is our superpower.  We have heard many say she stole virtue from Jesus as he passed through town on his way to heal the daughter of Jairus, but I believe she wasn't a thief, but she tapped into her superpower.  We have read, and been taught and heard messages from the word of God that tells us without faith it is impossible to pleas

Devotion, Declaration, Denouncing and Decreeing is the key

We are in a season where we have God is calling all soldiers to rise up.  We have to see ourselves as God see us. We have to utilize what God has given us.  We must lay aside every weight and every sin, every insecurity, hurt and pain and gird ourselves in the power, peace and healing and God so that we can fight the good fight of faith.  How will we fight this fight?  First there must be daily devotion with God and unto God.  Allow Him the opportunity to commune and teach

lemons and Lemonade

Simple reminder.  When life gives you lemons learn to make lemonade.  Whatever you experience in life did not catch God by surprise so we must learn to not cry about the lemon but pray about innovative ideas and creative ways for it to work in our behalf like making the lemon into lemonade.  Let's change our perspective.

Allow, Allign, and Assign

God is Sovereign and Providential.  There is nothing He does not know about or does not have control or authority over. I heard the spirit of God say I allowed that, and I am aligning you for what I have assigned to you.  Nothing is simple because of us or someone else, but all was allowed to serve a purpose of growth, development, revealing, pruning, strengthening, illumination, chastisement, proving and the more.  Even the devil can't do anything without God allowing it.

The Chosen Lamb Endured the Cross Part 7

Father into Your hands I commit My spirit (Luke 23:46) He who freely gave Himself into the hands of His executioners was now committing Himself into the hands of His Father. In life He had always submitted to His Father’s will, and now in death it would be no different.

The forsaken feeling He’d experienced shortly before no longer remained. He knew God would answer His expectation, so, gasping His last breath, Jesus uttered His last words—words of complete faith.

Exactly as

The Chosen Lamb Endured the Cross Part 6

It is finished (John 19:30) As Christ hung on the cross taking on the sin of disobedience of man, enduring the shame, being wounded for our transgression, bruised for our iniquities once the Father was appeased by the payment for sin, Christ was able to say it is finished.  The price had been paid in full.  That day saw at least 25 messianic prophecies fulfilled, witnessing to the inspiration of God’s Word. At age 12, He had said, “I must be about My Father’s business” (Lu

I thirst (John 19:28) These words Christ spoke fulfilled another prophesy written by David in Psalm 69:1 “For my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.”  When He said I thirst, they thought he thirst for water because they scrutinized Him all night, they didn’t feed him, they physically tortured Him and demanded physical labor from His weak body.  But It wasn’t water or vinegar that he thirst for.   David said and prophesied in Psalm 42 as a deer panteth for the waters so m

Eli, Eli lama sabachthani?  My God, My God why have you forsaken Me? (Matthew 27:46)

It occurred about the ninth hour after sunrise, or about 3 p.m. Jesus had been in agony on the cross for six hours by this time.  He says these words…. David once wrote, “I have not seen the righteous forsaken” (Psalm 37:25). “Forsake” means to abandon or leave helpless. Being forsaken is a horrific experience, but to be forsaken by God would be the worst!

Surely His Father had not forsaken

The Chosen Lamb Endured the Cross Part 3

Woman behold your son (John 19:26-27) When we are adopted into the family of God, we have a new family.  As Jesus taught in the synagogue, and His disciples told him his DNA family was outside, He looked around and pointed to all those who received Him  and His word as family.  In Mark 3:35 Christ says those who do the will of God, the same is my brother, sister and mother. As the mother of Jesus heart was panged with pain seeing her son endure such pain and agony and hate

The Chosen Lamb Endured the Cross Part 2

You will be with me in Paradise (Luke 23:43) Jesus was able with assurance tell this thief where he would be after death because knew what He was doing.  He understood His purpose and the fulfillment of His death.   He understood that death, burial and resurrection would pay the penalty of death and grant the gift of God which is eternal life.  He was able to tell this thief that acknowledged His sinful ways that spiritual death would no longer be able to hold mankind capt

The Chosen Lamb Endured the Cross

The Chosen Lamb of God endured the cross over 2000 years ago.  In the beginning, middle and end when the temptation to defend himself, call on a legion of angels, give up the ghost sooner than planned to avoid the shame and separation from the Father, the chosen Lamb of God endured the cross.  He fulfilled many messianic prophecies about this momentous day.  Father forgive them for they know not what they do (Luke 23:34) As Christ began the process of redemption and justif

What's In Your Cup

Let me start by saying I do not own the origination of this post, but thought it needed to be shared and cause an "aha" moment in our lives.  Take a moment to read slowly and and meditate on the message below.

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.  Why did you spill the coffee?

"Because someone bumped into me!!"

Wrong answer.

You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in you

Love

The word "love" is mentioned 310 times in the King James Version Bible.  In the ancient Greek language, there are different words such as agape, eros, philia, storge that mean love but in different ways.  We know that God loves us with an agape love which is an unconditional love.  Eros (where we get erotic) love is considered a type of intimate, sexual love which many celebrate today in the form of Valentine's Day and then there is philia which is a brotherly type of love

Winter Outreach Awesome Ministry

I am so overjoyed to serve the Lord and His people.  It was an honor and a privilege to feed, laugh, pray and share the love of God with the women at the Harriet Tubman women's shelter with the volunteers that made it happen and all of the donators and supporters.  The women were thankful and I am looking forward to the next event.  If you are interested in being a part let us know.  Matthew 25:34-40 records our Lord and Savior saying Then shall the King say unto them on h
