A Time to Change

Good evening Saints,

We are in the midst of an unprecedented time of crises regarding the health of the nation.  The rise of the infamous coronavirus-19 is crippling many counties, and the USA. Yes, we are seeing tough times and massive disturbance in what we may have called our “usual daily lives.”  Simply, there is nothing usual about each new day we are given.  Regardless, of what man has done or did not do. God is still in control; nothing more nothing less.

There is a point in life that we realize obedience and trust in God is a must do.  Let’s start with our disobedience, Step 1.  In order be obedient we must get to know God, trust His Word, and have hope.  Saints must realize that God is waiting on us.  He is a loving God and will do what He has always promised. The children of God shall want or need for nothing, if you just trust Him.  A change is needed, and your opportunity to rebuild your foundation going forward is now.

My brothers and sisters this is your time to make a change in all areas of your life. Pray and seek God more constantly. Be the light in times of darkness. Pray and fast to rid yourselves of those unspoken and hidden sins.  Yes, we all have them.  If you believe that you do not, the Word says you are a fool in denial.  No disrespect, but it is true.    

“And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.”       ~ Matthew 7:26 (ESV)

“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”   ~ Matthew 7:24  (ESV)

Praise God for today and every day.  Your praise will be the fire that helps you through. 

Always remember:  Our God is FAITHFUL!    Who will you TRUST? 

Stay Focused and Be Blessed! 

Believe in the Power of Prayer

Saints must stand on the power of prayer. We focus our attention on Christ and the truth in God’s Word.  He is not a God who lies. Revelation 1:17, tells us "Jesus says do not be afraid, I am the first and the last." We are called to find peace in Jesus.

When you are unsure pray.

If you are in fear pray.

When you are feeling lost pray.

If you are in despair pray.

When you are hurting pray.

Saints at all times pray.

God hears and knows all, therefore we are a protected and a loved people.

James 1:1-13 (Read to understand trails and tribulation)

“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.”                         ~ James 1:5-8 (NIV)

Saints we do not want the enemy to throw doubt and questions of uncertainty in our spirit.  Therefore, all ye children of God pray, and continue to pray for others and yourselves.  Darkness does not rule the earth, nor man unless we give up.  When you do not see God’s purpose in allowance of trials and tribulation, ask for wisdom. Sorrow may come, but comfort can be found in Jesus. God’s allows His purpose to been known, and expects his people to learn to trust and be obedient to Him alone.

Remember these encouraging words from your brothers:

Paul states nothing or a person can separate us from Gods love.

James says trust God in all your trails.

John tells us that we may have tribulation in the world but Jesus has overcome.   

Stay Focused and Be Blessed! 

Lord Teach Us to Pray

Are you teachable?  Can you genuinely and honestly admit you need help?  Become a powerful prayer warrior for our own survival.  Pray to move mountains, pray to receive healing, and pray that God will bring you out of trouble. Call on God through prayer. God wants us to call Him.  Saints understand that prayer always involves an encounter with God. It is good to have that intimate time with God to hear, learn, and be encouraged.  Prayer cost nothing, it only takes a few moments of your time. Learn to be an advocate for yourself through prayer.  Humble yourself and open your hearts to the Lord; he will answer.  To God be the Glory.

 “One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”    ~ Luke 11:1 (NIV)

The power of prayer is everyone’s weapon.  However, do you know how to pray?  The disciples could have asked to be taught how to witness or preach.  Instead, they asked Jesus to teach them how to pray.  In a time of need and desperation, pray, pray, and pray.   The Lord already has a solution. He just needs your invitation to take total control back, and finish the work.  Pray during your situations that seem hopeless and painful, but also pray when you come out.  Prayer is not just needed when you are in a mess.  It is crucial to pray all the time to “keep you steady”.  Saints we become weary when we have no power be steadfast and see a better day ahead.  Remember saints that God can speak to any situation through your fervent prayer.  Take the first step as the disciples did, “ask the Lord to teach you how to pray.”

Stay Focused and Be Blessed!
