TESTIMONY TUESDAYS: The Lord Has Preserved ME!

Praise ye the Lord and bless his holy name.

I praise God today for he has preserved me. I put my trust in him as the psalmist says, "Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust." Psalm 16:1 and he did just what the word says.

For the past few weeks I had been experiencing some pains. I contemplated going to the doctor but I shook that off and cried out to my God, "Jesus, you are a healer, you are a deliverer, and I know that you can heal my off this affliction. No matter what I trust you, Lord."

This Sunday evening as I sat on my living room floor singing along with all the contestants on Sunday's Best He healed me. The bands burst and I was healed.

I thank Jesus, my Lord for preserving me and keeping. Put your trust in Him he truly is someone that you can depend on.

May God Richly Bless You!

WISDOM WEDNESDAYS: Get Up, Get Out, and Get it Done

Praise the Lord! Forgive me if this post doesn't come out correctly I am blogging from my bb (Blackberry) for the first time ever. I'm on the go today and I realized that thanks to technology there's no reason why I can't produce a simple post. Which leads me right to this Wednesday's word of wisdom.

"The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion in the streets. As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed." Proverbs 26:13-14

Take a moment today and check yourself. What excuses have you been allowing to hinder you from performing the work that God has for you to do. A lion in the street, it's raining, it's too hot, it's too far. Or you may, like I did today take an over extended nap and postponed what you needed to do, should do or wanted to do because you felt tired and like a sloth you slept.

Don't get me wrong rest is necessary but you know when you're over doing it and so does the Lord. Now, I'm not accusing you nor pointing the finger because I am guilty of these practices also but this Wednesday I'm going to be wise like the four little things that are described as wise by the Word, "There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise: The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer; the conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks; the locusts have no king, yet they go forth all of them by bands; the spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in the kings' palaces." Proverbs 30:24-28

This Wednesday be wise and prepare for your future (don't work yourself into a frenzy just exercise some concern), recognize your weakness and build your home on Jesus Christ, the rock of ages. This Wednesday be wise and unite with your brethren, co-workers, or classmates and work as one body. This Wednesday shake off that slothful man instead be like the spider, Get Up, Get Out, and Get it Done and you just may find yourself in the kings' palaces.

-God Bless You!

WORSHIP SONG SERIES: "Days of Elijah"

Many say that these days are the last days and I definitely agree. The signs are evident and as the work of the enemy flourishes we can clearly see what Paul was describing to us in his letter to Timothy, "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that arer good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God." II Timothy 3:4

Though it seems that evil is reigning the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof--while the devil is lurking believe me, the Master is working and THERE'S NO GOD LIKE JEHOVAH! As the world is deteriorating the church is being built up, this is the year of jubilee, this is the day of jubilee.




The year of jubilee was a period freedom, renewal, and redemption. Everyone received a clean slate, slaves were freed, people who had their property taken due to debts had their property restored. It was all about Israel having the opportunity to reaffirm their beliefs, walk in faith and not rely on their material gains as evidence of prosperity.

Since Jesus shed blood ushered in the new testament every day can be the year of jubilee.There is no need to wait for the fifth year of seven cycles of seven years, "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin condemned sin in the flesh." Romans 8:3  Now is the time to claim your freedom in Jesus name and proclaim his glory throughout the land because very soon he will come down riding on a cloud.

TESTIMONY TUESDAYS: TRAVELING MERCY

"The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore." Psalm 121:8

Praise the Lord, beloved! It's another Tuesday that we have been blessed to see and I want to testify to the glory and honor of God that He is a keeper, that he is merciful, that He is a protector.

I want to thank Him for granting me traveling mercies this weekend. I went away to the Poconos with my family and just as His word says, Jesus the Lord God protected my family and I. In light of the recent surge in bus accidents I have a lot to be thankful for. The Lord kept me in my going out and my coming in.

If you don't already know it is good to trust him. There is no God like Jehovah!

WISDOM WEDNESDAY: Excercise Your Conscience

" For bodily excercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things having promises of life that now is, and of that which is to come." I Timothy 4:8

When the weather gets warm and less clothes we put on suddenly we begin to pay attention to all the muscles we have been neglecting. I'm definitely guilty of this but as I broke out the Tae-bo DVD and worked up a sweat this morning I could hear a gentle urging of the Holy Spirit, "Bodily exercise profiteth little."

This is not to say that the body is not important but the Spirit within you must not be neglected. While you're running, crunching, sweating be sure to get your spiritual workout on like Paul, "And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men." Acts 24:16

On this Wednesday be wise and exercise your faith in Jesus believe on Him for all things.
On this Wednesday be wise and exercise meekness and humility at work and at home.
On this Wednesday be wise and exercise mercy towards those who have offended you.
On this Wednesday be wise and exercise patience towards your children and the elderly.
On this Wednesday be wise and exercise your arms and your lips by lifting them up to worship the Lord thy God and you're conscience will be void of offence toward God and men.

(3 Reasons Why You Have) No Excuse

Praise the Lord! It's been awhile since I've posted anything, actually it has been nearly two months and as the title of this post suggest I have no excuse and neither do you for not accomplishing what the Lord God has asked of you.

You may have to pause and ask yourself what has Jesus asked of me. Before you get carried away with the list of great exploits that God has called you to, missionary service, preaching, teaching and saving the nation start with this basic thing: after preaching for three days and feeding at the very least 5,000 men with five barley loaves and two fish Jesus crossed the sea to Capernum and began preaching again. He urged the men not to seek after meat that perishes but everlasting life and someone posed a question, "...What shall we do that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them,This is the work of God that you believe on him whom he hath sent." John 6:28-29

Don't get it twisted God wants you to use your gifts to serve him but he doesn't need you to save one single solitary soul and until your spirit has been renewed he can't even use you. What he wants from you is simple, he wants you, all things were made by him and for him, Colossians 1:16

Yet you must be sanctified if you are going to be a tool for the Master to use. If Jesus is going to use to do anything then you must be a clean vessel. Here's where the plot thickens this is the part where damage ourselves, with little white lies, with quarrels, and idle speech but we have no excuse, "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with temptation make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. " I Corinthians 10:13

Is it clear why you have no excuse for cussin' out the lady who stepped on your foot, or sneaking out to have cigarette because your boss is working on your last nerve, for talking about Brenda behind her back just because you don't like her?

1. You have no excuse because the situation, temptation, or trial that you are facing is not some original one that God manufactured just for you but is one that someone on this planet has experienced and has already overcome.

2. Though it may seem like you can't take it, like you're being squeezed by a vice grip the truth is you can take it. You may feel like if this kid doesn't jumping up and down on the bed I'm going to tear that backside up but you can make it with going berserk, wrap your head around this real good, this temptation is not more than you can bear and God is faithful.

3. There is a way out of this temptation that does not lead to sin. He has made a way of escape for you. This way, is Jesus Christ, he is the way the truth and the life. If he resides in you then the way of escape is within you. Call on his name and he will deliver you.

Don't read this and allow it pass over your head as if you don't need some fine tuning, backup one verse in I Corinthians 10 and you will see where the word warns us to be careful if we think we have attained unto righteousness and the results of our vain imaginations, "Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall." I Corinthians 10:12

You have no excuse when you give in to temptation. When temptation falls upon you if you can't remember the reasons why you have no excuse remember our triune God. remember the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost lives in you. Stop and pray:

Father God, please lead me through this wilderness. Keep me in your way and do not allow me to stray in the mighty and precious name of Jesus I pray. Amen

 

WORSHIP SONG SERIES: "God Has Signed My Name" by Walter Hawkins and The Hawkins Family

Praise ye the Lord and bless His holy name! Blessed be the Lord God Jesus Christ who is our rock and our salvation!

It's been a while since I posted something in this category but I pray that the worship hasn't stopped. Now that I'm back let's worship the Lord together. Let's not look back at the past but rejoice in our present estate, let's celebrate that our names are written in the Lamb's book of life, let's rejoice and celebrate that we are free from the bondage of sin.

As our nation prepares to celebrate it's independence, let us also celebrate our independence. Sin no longer has dominion over us. We are able to keep are tongues, able to resist temptation, able to love our enemies, and pray for the salvation of their souls without seeking retaliation or retribution.



This freedom was brought with a price the precious blood of Jesus Christ. As you march onward remember that you are no longer a citizen of this land but an ambassador of a foreign country. Let your walk be a praise to God that honours and glorifies his name, "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." Galatians 5:1

God Bless You, Beloved and Our Nation!
