You can have good...

Family, 

Psalms 84:11 (NIV) says: “For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.” 

Can you say that to be true of you? 

Regardless of your answer, this scripture helps you better understand that it is the Lord who bestows favor and honor. Whether you messed up or got something right, let this sink in: when God bestows favor and honor upon you; that is all you need. In Romans 8:31 it says: What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

I thank God for loving us so much and not withholding good things from us. There is a song by William McDowell titled: Withholding Nothing. When you hear the song, there is a cry out from within that causes you to hold nothing back from God. When I read Psalms 84:11, it provided even more context. God does not withhold good from us. So why do we withhold the good parts from Him? Oh let me clarify what “good” is. It’s the parts you hide in the dark that only you, Jesus,and the devil know about. What you may call ugly, God calls good.
 
My question above is not just a question. It is an instruction. Find an accountability faith sister/brother to confide in and pray before doing so. I dare you to go to God on your own and tell him exactly what it is you are ashamed of and be freed in your walk to be blameless. Watch as the Lord bestows favor and honor upon your life.

Tell the truth to God and yourself and be free. Withholding nothing, surrender, give it over and be favored by God because He does not withhold good from us. 

Love your sister in Christ,

It's Not Over

Family,  Please forgive my pause in posting. Every year around April, I fall into this habit of wanting to post on social media and update my blog. I am truly a creature of habit and I hope you can relate. I want you to remember social media will not keep you committed to this faith walk but Jesus will. In the meantime, I’ve been working on so many things. Two major ones are ministry (serving) and fellowship (in communication with the people). I have been in the faith full time, around the clock, nonstop work - “Turn Down For What!”All the while, praying, fasting, and watching the power of God save souls, heal hearts, minds, and bodies. I have witnessed miracles performed like a cancer diagnosis turning to nothing. Family, some real things happen when Jesus is at the center of it all. When we have faith (believing in the unseen) you work differently and you go places that many will say, “I am not too sure about this.” This time has reminded me that our gifts do make room for us as ...

Love Until it hurts, Love until it works!

By
  Family,  There is a song by Foreigner called “I Want To Know What Love Is.” I remember asking the Lord the very same question. Then, Christ came into my heart and revealed that in order to know Love (in the form of God), I had to know Sacrifice (in the form of Christ). When I began to discover that it was an act of love that saved  my soul from a place of despair, it was unbelievable. It takes wisdom to know what love is and what love did and continues to do. 1 Corinthians 13 explains it all. But I want to focus on one verse in that book 1 Corinthians 13:8a Love never fails.  Do you ever wonder why Love gets a bad rap? I have heard so many references to love, like it’s blind, it’s mean, it’s rude, it doesn’t exist, or  it’s impossible. However, none of those statements tell the truth about what love is but rather expresses an emotion someone felt after someone said “I love you.” Until I read the Bible and gained insight that God is love (see 1 John 4:8 ), hear...
