Moving Forward Today!

Let everyone rejoice in the Lord Today. God is always your present help and deliverer. It is never too late while you have the breath of life to surrender your life to God. Humble yourself and seek your Fathers Will today and every day.  

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.    ~ 1 Timothy 4:12 (NIV)

Every age group needs meaning in their life, trust, confidence, hope, security and love — Try God! He is everything you need and so much more.  Are you ready for your blessing?

Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.  ~ Isaiah 46:4 (NIV)

Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.  Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good.  ~ Titus 2:2-3 (NIV)

Hope continually and go in faith. Our dependency on God does not cease to exist because we get older. Today! — move forward with God. You have much to do in 2020. May the Lord keep you well.

Guard Your Mind and Change Your Focus

Good morning Saints, 

It has come to light why this was on my heart on Thursday. It concerns me and some of you.  I understand things seem as if you cannot win with what is happening today.  I encourage you to keep your eyes on God.  God will show you what you need to know — pray and do not compromise with people that do not follow the Word of God.  Be careful when you leave your home church on the advice of others or because you believe your gift is not being recognized and you are frustrated.  If God has not told you to move, hold your peace and pray for clarity and endurance to hold on. Trust God. God may have you where you are until he has taught you what you need to know. You may walk into a mess of a situation.  Every church should be a praying church, praise and worship church, teach from the Word and will have fruits from its labor. Check your bible.  I have spoken this before, God will not send you without a plan and will tell you where to go.  Check your bible.  Avoid asking yourself later what happened and how did I get here. Keep your focus and Trust God. I must keep advising you to do this — Trust God.

I understand being new a Christian or those who have rededicated their lives you are vulnerable. Remember pastors, evangelist, ministers, deacons, etc. are all men/women first. They all have faults, so do not put them on pedestals.  It is okay to have respect but avoid placing them in the same lane as God. Transparency is the key, but is difficult because some people will not let you live past old mistakes. Some have been called and delivered in most areas, but we all have flaws that we work on daily.  Learn from scripture and seek guidance. Beware of those who never claim to have made mistakes or fallen short. Please understand man has sin.  Now, whether it has been let go or if not and is still being hidden is the difference between them in their true service to God. Please don’t be quick to share the guilty verdicts you hear and shady gossip with people who ask. Let us not be guilty of throwing a stone and you have a house full of mess and deceit. If you know someone is headed in the wrong direction, take them to the Word. Remind them that God will lead but they must be on one accord with Him.  Have them ask these questions:

1.  Did God tell me to move?

2.  Why am I moving and I am not sure about the ministry? 

3.  Did God show me a purpose for to aligning myself with that ministry? 

Be careful you do not cause yourself more harm by moving into the wrong ministry. Many ministries are hurting for various reasons.  You should support the house of God that you are a part of now, unless God said move. There is nothing wrong with making a donation to a ministry but you should still support your church too. You may not know but God knows if you are in a ministry in His sight for a blessing. There will be some individuals and ministries that will be on Gods radar to do some housing cleaning and it will be swift.  It has been done all the long and more in the last few years.  Believe the Word, when God has had enough He will put things in order. Pray and continue to pray for all men and women everywhere. It will not be long before more problematic leaders of all kinds and wicked people will be chastised and exposed.  Make sure your house is in check. Always keep your focus on God and stay in prayer.  God will be your hiding place, source of power and strength. May the Lord keep you well.

Move Expeditiously to Repent Today!

The great day of the Lord is near. All people around the world will be able to say “The Lord Came and Swept the Land.”  My friends no worries about what will happen in the White House, Congress, …and those who tried to destroy the city or even dismissed the Christian believer. Close your ear to people who want to discourage, cause confusion and discord with the people of God. Open your eyes, watch, listen for God and wait to see what He does.  God never left and is still working behind the scene. Wait on God to shift the view of the picture and move to rescue His people. Trust God and get into position. You are precious to Him and your value cannot be replaced at your appointed time.  We are better together — but greater with God.

The picture you see now, will not always be the story.  Hatred, false teaching, deceitfulness, assassins and slanderers will be censured by the Word of God.  God is so ardent about obedience and love.  Those who purposely hurt and cause people to fall shall pay the cost.  So, my friend pray, study the Word and keep your focus on God.  Stay in the light saints.

God knows everything.  He sees who, what, when, where and how of every situation.  Be encouraged and stand firm, understand you serve a living and loving God. Despite what man has done, God gives us a second opportunity to change.  If you decline His gracious offer to change —the end result is on the decliner.

Avoid compromising the Word and losing your Holinesses.  Know that there is a God who will take care of His people.  Hold on to Faith —See what marvelous things God will do.

Stay Focused and Be Blessed!

Keep Your Praise

Good morning Saints,

Life is so precious and tomorrow is not promised. Live better today and give honor and praise to the Lord. Better days are ahead. While you have the opportunity today and every day—Praise the Lord!
Read: Psalm 145:2

Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,
Who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel:
The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;
He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
                       ~ Psalm 103:1-12 (NIV)
