Hello All: Prayer is not magic; it’s miraculous. You see magic is the invoking of the supernatural through spells and charms, but miracles are acts of God. Do you still believe that God is in the “business” of performing miracles? If so, then you believe that God can do anything, that He can deliver you out of anything, and that He will see you through anything victoriously. And anything is anything which is all things. But God doesn’t “magically poofs” things into our lives (laps). Can He? I believe that God can do anything He wants, anything that we have need of or that we can think of. But that’s not how God operates when it comes to our prayers. God is moved by our faith; according to your faith (his/her) be it unto you. Our faith in God makes things happen. Just like the centurion, in Matthew 8, that came to Jesus and told him of his ill servant. Jesus was going to go and heal the centurion’s servant, but the centurion said all that Jesus had to do was say that his servant was hea...

Hello, Hello All: It has been a minute since you've heard from me. Well if you don't know by now, our newest addition, Dorrien (check out pic), has arrived. He was 8lbs and 1 oz, at two (2) week check-up 9lbs, one (1) month check-up 12 1/2 lbs, and today for his two (2) month check-up 18 lbs and 2 oz (WOW)! Yes, he is a very healthy boy! I am so blessed to have two (2) wonderful, healthy and gorgeous babies. I love them so much even when they get on mommy's nerves. Last week Angie wasn't feeling to well, and she kept me up all night and all day (like I was the only parent in the house, but as it goes they always want momma - which is ok ). This brings me to my title of "Don't let the devil fool ya". If you are a parent, then you've most likely had a child/children that have been sick. They want you to hold them and comfort them, and yes they keep you up. This happened with my daughter. We had gone to visit my mom one Saturday, and she was fine while o...

Hello: Just want to keep a fire lit underneath us about the things that are going on around us; to keep us ever vigilant in the things of Christ. I know that you believe as do that Jesus Christ will return for those that belong to Him. Though none of us know the hour, day or year that He will return, we do believe that He is coming again. Matthew 24:4-8: 4Jesus answered them, Be careful that no one misleads you [deceiving you and leading you into error]. 5For many will come in (on the strength of) My name [[ b ]appropriating the name which belongs to Me], saying, I am the Christ (the Messiah), and they will lead many astray. 6And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened or troubled, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in place after place; 8All this is but the beginning [the early pains] of the [ c ]birth pangs [of the [ d ]intolera...

Hello All: As you all my know, I will be giving birth to a little baby boy this April. I can't wait! I can't wait to see what he will look like; for him to see me and the world. I apologize for not writing as often as I should, but I'm here to give you some encouragement as usual. We as Christians should walk in love at all times, but that can be difficult sometimes with certain people. I am learning to do things as unto to the Lord. Do I like it? Not all the time, but it is allowing me to grow in an area that needs maturing as a child of God. Sometimes my husband will say that he will take our two (2) yr old daughter a bath, and I wind up having to do it. I use to get a little irritated when he didn't keep his word and do what he said he will do. But the enemy will use little things like this to keep strife and discord in your household, in your marriage. The Word of God tells us that it's the small foxes that spoil the vine. We all have things that just irritate u...

Good Monday Morning! It was once told to me that if I repent fast; I'll grow fast. And I think that is due to us recognizing that we have done something that is not pleasing in the sight of God, and being able to catch it quickly and put it under the Blood of Jesus by repenting. This too is part of that fellowship He wants to have with us; this repenting. No one is perfect; though it may seem that a person has everything together on the outside, there are things that are going on that are not in eye sight. And if you see your brother or sister in sin, don't go discussing their faults with others least you find yourself in that very same destruction or something worst. Instead pray for one another. Lift them up in prayer and cover them. Love covers a multitude of sin. Did you put your armor on today? If not, then you have not taken the necessary precautions/means to protect yourself. It is very important that you remember to do this each and everyday. Though things ...

Good Friday Morning!!!! My heart will praise the Lord all the day long. Do you understand that every illness, sickness or disease that is upon the earth, that Jesus bore all of those things upon Himself so that we don't have to. The problem, I believe, is in our confession and processsion. These things are freely given to those that belong to Him, but for some reason do not use the (authority). Maybe you don't think you're worthy to be given these things or maybe you don't know you have this authority. This is why it is so important that you stay in the Word. Like I said earlier this week, people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge (the knowledge of the Word of God). Do you know how people get saved? In Romans 10:9,10 - If you confess with mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord of your life, and that He died on the cross for your sins, and arose on that third (3rd) day, then you are saved. It goes on to say that with the mouth you confess and wi...

Good Morning!!!!! I will praise the Lord with all my soul, and all that is within me..... Praise His Holy Name. Please take the time to read the Living Water today. It kinda goes along with what I was talking about yesterday. God wants so much to be close to us. He wants us to draw nigh (near) unto Him, and He to us. We should desire to be named 'A good friend of the Lord' - no longer calling us servant. He wants so much to be invited into our/your day. If you stomped your big toe this morning and hurt really bad, this may seem like something really small to call on the Lord for, but the Lord wants you to call on Him even in the little things. Nothing is too small or too insignificant that isn't important to Him. In these last days, a relationship with the Father will be very important. You nor I want to hear the words 'Depart from me for I never knew you'. That will not be....that can not be me! I refuse to hear those words. Just as you would work a...
