Lord what in the world is going on with these pastors.I mean my opinion will not be taken well but for the black church we have put them on a pedal stool far too long they demand and we provide and sweep their nonsense under the rug.No more! God is pulling the nonsense out because they are not representing him.The church please remember God name.Don't drag his name in the mud.I would rather leave the church than to mess it up.What is so holy and pure.Don't go through the motions with and make this unloving world laugh at the mess we are creating.Im done don't stone me.

Awesome!! We complain about the cross we bear but don't realize
it is preparing us for the dip in the road that God can see and we can't.

†​
Whatever your cross, whatever your pain,

There will always be sunshine, after the rain....

Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall;

But God's always ready, to answer your call....

He knows every heartache, sees every tear,

A word from His lips, can calm every fear...

Your sorrows may linger, throughout the night,

But suddenly vanish, dawn's early light...

The Savior is waiting, somewhere above,

To give you His grace, and send you His love...

†

God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.​
 
Lord please heal me of my lack of trust-in you, in friends, in men. Help me to see myself rightly because of you and what you have done for me and not be so scared of who you have made me to be. Lord prepare me for the desires of my heart because I don't think I will ever get married, or have children if I can't rid myself of the habits and thinking that has polluted my life for way to long now. I'm just a mess Lord and I need you. I can't live my life without you. I don't wanna keep hiding from my feeling and my hurt. I wanna live. For freedom Christ has set me free. I wanna start living as a free woman today. Now. Lord help me.
 
Moment of gratitude: My nephew's school mentor sent me the photos of the kid who received my nephew's too-small bike, which they had fixed and restored as a project. Happy lil kid..nice smile and ironically, his name is Isaiah. God, thank you for my nephew's mentor, who is helping us teach him to sow into the lives of others. Sometimes people outside of family have a greater impact than I give them credit for.. but then again, he's a brother in Christ, so he IS family. :yep:

Happy riding, Isaiah!
 
Slavery still exists, we just like to think it doesn't and push it under the discomfort carpet because it hurts our sensibilities. We must open our eyes daily to those around us who are in bondage to other human beings who abuse and torment them. The solution to freedom might be us.

Matthew 25:35-36 (New International Version)

35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
 
Lord I need help I can't trust,can't relax and I hate feeling so unable to help myself.I wish I didn't need anyone to help me so I can be successful without the sappiness and the fakeness.I just want to make a great deal of money and issue to the causes that really save life.I want to feel ok with me and not beat myself up.Im glad I haven't started cutting myself anymore or starving myself.I just want my one day to come..I pray this interview I go on will produce a job even if its only seasonal

When I read the Bible, I take it personally...

Romans 4:18, 21 and 22 (NLT) say... 18 Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations. 21 He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. 22 And because of Abraham’s faith, God counted him as righteous.

But I take this personally so it reads to me...

Even when there is no reason for hope, I, Reminiscing, will keep hoping - believing that all His plans for me will be fulfilled. I am fully convinced that God is able to do whatever He promises and because of my faith, I am counted as righteous.

Righteous means that I am worthy to receive ALL of his blessings.

God is the same God, yesterday, today and forever. His Word is not just history, it's personal. It is a declaration of what he did then and is still doing today.

I wrote it down, I made it plain, I declared today in JESUS' NAME, that every promise will be fulfilled.

Thank you God for this message you placed in my heart this morning!
 
Ephesians 2:4-5

4But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ— by grace you have been saved—

Lord thank you for your Mercy. I realize that my whole life is continuous But God moments that show how merciful and loving you are even when I didn't love you. I am glad that your Mercy stalks me day after day. That your mercies are renewed each morning. Thank you for Loving me. That you don't act based on emotions but for the praise of your Glory. Thank you for making me alive in Christ.
 
Trying to figure out Dec. 25 as Jesus' birthday...was driving me crazy. So, St. John's conception dated by his father's priestly duties in the Temple at the Golden Altar...occurring once a year and the lot fell to him. That's the Day of Atonement, 7th Hebrew month, Gregorian, September-ish.

Luke 1:26

In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee,

That would probably mean in the 6th gestational month of Elizabeth, around March or Adar/Nissan when Passover is. And 9 months of that date is Kislev/December-ish. There's a diff. between the Julian and Gregorian calendars and the orthodox celebrate Christmas and Easter roughly 2 weeks later...but still very much within that time span.

Whew, somebody asked a tough question and it took an Israeli to answer it. I'm glad she did because if someone had asked me to "prove" it, I couldn't have...until today...well, believe that the celebrated day is definitely in our December. We also know that the calendars change and someone estimated that Kislev 25 or Hannukah coincided with Dec. 25 date of that year in history.

She made an interesting observation too...determining by what the priest was doing...not by his status and that the apostles certainly knew the different times of and between the holy days. It was an interesting discussion.
 
God is good! Even when I don't deserve his blessings He gives me more than I ever expected. The least I can do is say thank you.
 
God is good, all the time...and all the time, God is good.




Oh and Laela, I sent you a message sis. Hope u received it! =)
 
Meditating on this powerful Word this week, on how to enter the secret place of the Most High (Psalms 91:1)



Hebrews 10
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

21 And having an high priest over the house of God;

22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised)
 
Romans 6:19
I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.


Romans 6:22
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.


1 Thessalonians 3:13
To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

Such a beautiful word.
 
When you're down, people will kick you, not help pick you up. Expect that. Also, expect that Satan's best ambassadors are friends and family...even the occasional stranger who glares at you for no reason at all, other than they are a tool of the devil. Even fellow believers can be horrible and hateful, unsupportive. Your one true friend is God, always, all day, every day. Even Jesus was spat upon.
 
Keeping Marvin Sapp and the men and women in the Body of Christ who have lost their spouses this year... I can't imagine life on Earth w/out my DH, yet I'm assured that to be absent in the earthly body, is to be present with the Lord. 2 Corin 5:8

All Glory, Honor, Dominion and Power to the one true Living God... only He knows all the whys!


There’s no question of Your greatness,
no searching of Your power.
All the wonder of Your glory,
to You forty years is but one hour.
Your knowledge is all encompassing,
to Your wisdom there is no end;
for You alone are God,
You are God alone.

Verse 2:
Your mercy is everlasting,
Your truth is here always.
You are He who was and is, and is to come.
Who is He that can number you day,
You’ve flung the sun to burn in space,
and the night’s moon powers light from day;
You are God alone.

Chorus:
Now unto the King,
eternal, immortal, invisible,
the only wise God,
the only wise God;
You alone are God,
for You are God alone.

Vamp:
Be all glory and honor,
dominion, and power
forever and ever, amen.

Ending:
For You alone are God,
You are God alone

Another gem....

The King's Highway

Once a king had a great highway built for the members of his kingdom. After it was completed, but before it was opened to the public, the king decided to have a contest. He invited as many as desired to participate. Their challenge was to see who could travel the highway the best.

On the day of the contest the people came. Some of them had fine chariots. Some ran along the highway and others rode horses, mules, or donkeys.

People traveled the highway all day, but each one, when he arrived at the end, complained to the king that there was a large pile of rocks and debris left on the road at one spot and this got in their way and hindered their travel.

At the end of the day, a lone traveler wearily crossed the finish line and walked over to the king. He was tired and dirty, but he addressed the king with great respect and handed him a bag of gold. He explained, "I stopped along the way to clear a pile of rocks and debris that was blocking the road. This bag of gold was under it all. I want to give it to you so you can return it to its rightful owner."

The king replied, "You are the rightful owner."

The traveler replied, "Oh no, this is not mine. I've never known such money."

"Oh yes," said the king, "you've earned this gold, for you won my contest."

"He who travels the road best is he who makes the road smoother for those who will follow."​
 
Lord I may never be the mainstream christian or lady for that matter and yet and still you can use me.I find the word I have gotten over the years is on time for me.I was looking over some old sermon notes when i use to go to this mega church in Dallas and it said at times before God will bless you with your desires it will seem to go real bad.For instance you want another used car so God puts you back on the bus so you will be in the position to get a new one.I look at my situation.I have my degree times 2 and I'm not stupid.Yet and still instead of starting my professional career God put me homeless having to live with family,no job,barely getting welfare and with a bum car.I know in due time God will show me it was all worth it.Like that of a mother giving birth all the pain will be quickly forgotten once the bountiful joy is in your arms.
 
"The biggest black eye you can give the devil is to turn your pain into gain, turn your mess into a message" - Joyce Meyer
 
I did my very first serious fast.It hit me Monday morning at 12am.I was laying in bed couldn't go to sleep bc of my anixety issue and I felt in my spirit I need to fast for 12 hours.I have never done one before in this way so I did a food and technology fast.I gave in at 11:50am since I had a test and my head was getting me down.I read alot of the bible via my sermon notes and prayer.I know it looked weird sitting in my car praying at school but oh well.I felt good to try to do something and I could see the devil in full effect.Making me think about some chicken strips and a jumbo jack.Sad.

Today I noticed that God let the devil test me hard today on my way home.It seemed that me who normally speeds a bit today I drove the exact speed limit.Everyone seemed to be going 90 and going around me.People where cutting me off and just ugly.I know one reason I didn't want to speed is ppl have been getting alot of tickets and I got a small extension of unemployment don't want to give my money to the county.2 I feel it's like a sin to speed since your suppose to respect the powers that are in are there even if you don't agree.It was like God this is how I feel in life.I'm in my lane doing the right thing and everyone around seems to be going by leaps and bounds.Long hair,nice bod,big bank,new dh/so's,good jobs,happy life,having babies etc.I know you can't compare your life all you can do is go in your lane and hope for the best..
