What does God expect from us

Family,


We are living in times where people are really struggling to accept that the world is not getting any better. No amount of money, babies being born, social distancing, cognitive thinking, or messy wisdom will be able to stop the course this world has taken. You can attempt to create your own reality, but one day it will all be gone because Christ is going to return.


This does not have to be doom and gloom it is a message of hope. Someone (God), loves us so much that He has prepared a place for us to dwell in and is waiting for us to come, ref. John 14:1-4.


It’s critical to remember during these times the absolute truth; we cannot predict anything but God is ever present to give sound instruction through his Word and through His chosen people. Are we ready to listen? Do we understand our purpose? Are we ready to be used in a capacity beyond our own contemplation? If yes, surrendering to Jesus’ teaching is the only way to become wise and tell yourself the truth. Not one thing can be done for God outside of Jesus Christ.


In Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (NIV) we find some profound truths: To everything there is a season,

A time for every purpose under heaven: A time [a]to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant,

And a time to pluck what is planted; A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away; A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak; A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace.


Be encouraged.

Love your sister in Christ, Latoya


We are living in some tumultuous times and we can all speculate but the best resource about the Source is the B.I.B.L.E. - Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. 


So what does the word say about war? And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.~Matthew 24:6


So what does the word say about evil? Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. ~ Ephesians 5:16


So what does the word say about man? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.~John 14:6


So what does the word say about friendship? A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity. ~ Proverbs 17:17

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...
