Be Encouraged Today!

Hello! There are so many things in our lives that we deem important. It was important for me to make good grades when I was in school; so I devoted time and effort in my studies, meeting with teachers and professors for additional questions and/or ways to increase my grade. I did all that I knew to increase my chances of having the best grade if not the highest because it was important to me. In both of my pregnancies, it was important to me to have good easy pregnancies, births and healthy children, and I did. I did all my physician instructed me to do. I searched the web for articles and tips to have healthy pregnancies and births (understand all this was done in addition to prayer). Even with my marriage, in addition to prayer, I began to get spiritual books about being a wife/woman God called me to be – it was and is important to me. All I knew about being a wife was what I’d seen others do, and TV (which is not a good model);I’d never been a wife; I wanted to be a wife tha...

Hello All: I will start this one off with a scripture; it is talking about the second coming of Christ. Believe it or not, we are living in the last days. And believe it not, Jesus is coming again and sooner than we all think. Get it right on this side while He can still be found. I know you’re saying we’ve heard this from you before. I’m gonna keep reminding you every now and then until you get; until He returns, and I go to be with Him and can no longer write. 36"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[ a ] but only the Father. 37As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. (Matthew 24:36-39 New International Version) Now do...

Hello: There was a time when I wished that life would smooth and easy, free from pain, sickness, and sorrows – free from troubles. I always thought “If I could live on my own personal island, just for me, life would be as it should. I look at my kids and wish they’d never know a day of pain, sickness or lack. Children should be free to run, skip, jump, and play without “bad stuff”. I use to say “I’m never having children. Why would I want to bring a living person into this world?” The world is not always fair, kind or without heartbreak or hardships. When I was growing up, the older people would say “If you haven’t been through anything, just live awhile”. I didn’t know what they were talking about then, but now that I’m grown, have my own husband, children – my own life – I get it! Even the Bible tells us that we, Christians/believers - will have troubles. All people will have problems; we are not exempt. Matthew 5:45 says that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his s...

Hey There! I tell you the Lord is good and worthy of our praises. I tell you the enemy is roaming about seeking whom he can devourer. He is throwing everything and anything he can at us using everyone and anyone he can to get us off of what God has for us, and off of what God has called us to do. But we WIN, and you have to know that you WIN! But when the enemy throws things at me, not only do I pray and bring things in line with God's Word (now, I don't always do this, but I'm am doing this in Jesus' Name), but I dance in the Lord every time I have an opportunity to do so. The enemy tries to attack me every Sunday. I do not like being late. Almost every Sunday we are just making it on time. It use to hinder me from hearing and enjoying church. I love church, and I'd like to enjoy it when I attend. But it seemed like every Sunday morning something would happen right before church, and it use to steal my joy. Until one Sunday, I heard the Lord say ...

Hello: I’ve been studying on going to church, the church family and how we should behave. If you look at your life and those who are around you, our lives and theirs should be ever changing ever increasing in Christ. But for some of us, life remains the same; we reach a level of maturity in Christ, and we go no further. For some, life hasn’t changed since we said the sinner’s prayer. This should not be so. We need to go to church faithfully, become a united body in Christ Jesus (not different churches or denominations) and we should behave like the one we belong to; we are the King’s kids. I love how the Bible is so simple; easy for everyone to understand. The Word of God tells us in Hebrews 10:25 (AMP) - Not forsaking or neglecting to assemble together [as believers], as is the habit of some people, but admonishing (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching . The day that is spoken of here is the return of Jesus. Each day...

Hello All: Today I want to talk to you about being a spiritual “drop-out”. I know none of you are “drop-outs” because you are still following the Lord Jesus. I was reading in John 6:60-69, here Jesus was speaking in the synagogue about communion, saying drink my blood and eat my flesh. This was a little hard for some of the disciples to swallow (no pun intended). As a result, some disciples went home and walked with Jesus no more. We are going to look at some things that could cause one to become a spiritual drop-out (dropping out of the walk with Christ). In noticing these things we can keep ourselves in the race as well as others. The Word of God asks us in Galatians 5:7 you ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth of God’s Word? The Word of God also tells us to set aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us; looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. The following are just some of t...

Good Morning All: We as Christians have God’s Word to apply in our lives and our children’s lives. God has given us the authority to call things to be not as though they are. We can speak a thing (good or bad) and have it manifested here in the land of the living (you shall have what you say). I know many of you have children that are returning to school or have already returned to school, so I’ve searched the scriptures to see what the Word has to say about our children’s learning, and I’m doing this for my children too. I know they have awhile before they go to school, but now is the time to speak in and over your child(ren) as far as his/her learning is concerned. We speak healing over ourselves before we get sick (if you are not speaking healing scriptures over you and your family, then start doing it EVERYDAY!); likewise, we should speak over our children concerning their learning before the return or go to school. I have some scriptures here (something I usually don’t do because...
