The Plan!

The Plan – John 3:16 The Plan – John 3:16 It’s been some years since I’ve posted to this blog. God was dealing with me on some things. I am grateful to Him for chastening me which shows His love for me. I want to speak a little on God’s Plan – Redemption. Redemption is a gift; it cannot be earned, and it involves our turning away from sin and towards God. God made this task simple for us—the offering of His Son, Jesus. I want to come from the verse of John 3:16. I know, I know… We all know this verse; we could probably recite it in our sleep. This verse is one of the first scriptures we all learned in Bible School/Children’s Church. I think that was by God’s design, but not fully realized. In this, I want to bring to full fruition of God’s Plan by breaking down this scripture. It is so simple, but sometimes things can seem too simple… “Surely, it can’t be this simple?!” It is just that – simple. By having our Faith ONLY in God’s Plan, Jesus...

Refocus!

Well praise the Lord. The first month of this New Year is about gone. Many of us have set goals, reaching for new opportunities and are making changes to better our lives. I have set health and fitness goals to eat better and tone this year. But so many times we focus on the outside, and we forget about the inside. Yes eating healthy is good for my inside, but I’m talking about our hearts, our spirit man. Fitness has never been a problem for me; I love my workouts and do them every day. I couldn’t say this about “feeding my spirit”. So I have set a goal of reading more of the Word of God and giving Him more of my time. We all get busy with life. We have our families, jobs, businesses, school, groups and clubs. We busy ourselves with so much stuff, but never slow down and give God the time He so greatly deserves. We want Him to be there when we need Him, but won’t even tarry with Him an hour. I am guilty of this. He wants to spend time with us, but we’re too busy. Take t...

Never NOT Pray!

Never Not Pray! Well praise the Lord. God is good and worthy of our praise. God is doing great things, amazing things are happening. Just stay with God, trust Him and continue to pray. No matter what your current situation is, keep talking to God. No matter where you are in life, don’t get out of the race. Towards the end of the race is when you have to push the hardest to cross the finish line. You might can’t see it yet or believe it, but your Salvation is near. I recently viewed a YouTube video of a church skit that showed a woman walking with God and fellowshipping with Him. Then the things and people of this world slowly lured her away from God. You might say this can’t happen to me; I’ll never leave God. I hope you are right. Anyway, she was trying her best to get back to God, but the things of this world had a stronghold on her. She didn’t like where she was in life or what she was doing and was about to take her life. BUT God! She called on the name of the Lord an...
