Good God Morning My Anointed and Blessed Sister,
I want to thank you, your family, the Bishop, your church family and the Bible College for such a wonderful and memorable graduation. I remember when I graduated, back to back, a Friday night and a Saturday morning in two different cities; it was God’s evidence of God’s Promises when we present ourselves in a godly order of hard-work, trust and faith in His Word. I was thankful and filled with emotions of God’s Love, Charity, Patience,… Continue

-Am I My Sisters’ Keeper? Yes I Am !
(article in Texarkana Community Journal)
There is an epidemic that has seized our nation for far too long. Its symptoms are exhibited in the form of raised ferocious fists, brutal kicks, and cruel threatening words. The plague of domestic violence is cloaked within vindictive and malicious emotional and physical mistreatment, resulting in the death of not only the body but also the spirit and the soul! These acts of violent behavior are… Continue
My Dear Sisters and Brothers thank you for your outpour of confirmation on the Easter message of tribute to our Lord - God Bless You. Glory To God – I lift Him up and I Give Him All the Praise.

As I prayed and praised God – I received this revelation; every one of us my sisters and brothers are being tested in some way in this season, but if we can remember we are not alone because of God’s mercy and our… Continue
In this season of Easter how better could we pay tribute to the memory of The Father’s Divine Sacrifice and The Son’s Undying Love:
"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up*"
(IThessalonians 5:11).
God designed us to live in relationship with others. He wants us to
help each other grow. None of us will reach our highest potential by
ourselves. We need people in our lives to encourage us, and we need to
encourage the people in… Continue
1 John 4:20-21
20 If anyone says, I love God, and hates (detests, abominates) his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, Whom he has not seen.
21 And this command (charge, order, injunction) we have from Him: that he who loves God shall love his brother also.-

Living on Our Grandmother’s Prayers- Sandra Dukes,a.m-
This morning I was blessed with the Holy Spirit bringing to my remembrance in the form of song and prayer that of my great- grand mother. As the tears flowed down my face and I felt this incredible joy of knowing I know who my God and Savior is , I began to sing, “ If it wasn’t for the Lord tell me what would I do. He’s been every, everything to me”. And as the flow of the Holy Ghost began to move within me and upon me, I began… Continue
7 Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment for you; rather it is an old one you have had from the very beginning. This old commandment—to love one another—is the same message you heard before. 8 Yet it is also new. Jesus lived the truth of this commandment, and you also are living it. For the darkness is disappearing, and the true light is already shining.
9 If anyone claims, “I am living in the light,” but hates a Christian… Continue
You say I'm not able
I'm too young or I'm too old
And I can't sing or teach
And no title do I hold
Lord, what can I do?
For I want to do my part
And I want to help the hurting
With all of my heart
I can pray until the walls come down
Until there's healing all around
That's something I can do
I can pray in my secret place
Calling on your name
That's something I can… Continue

“I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy; because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now; being… Continue
“Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
Forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.” (Matthew 6:9-13) Amen.
Prayer in Prose for President Barrack Obama
Our Dear God we come in prayer requesting your favor on the behalf of our… Continue
Dedicated to, written for and inspired by Apostle Dennis Cook and Co-Pastor Marilyn Cook,
And
Doctors B.D. & Zee Cobbs and all family ministries of the Gospel
As I sat before them I could feel yet another’s presence
Familiar yet comfortingly strange
And there was a fragrance
So-o-o sweet which is only attained in Jesus’ name
What could I ask this profound couple, who had shared a lifetime of saving souls?
Who bowed humbly before the Lord,… Continue
Courage in the face of overwhelming odds holds women of all eras and ages together. Women throughout time and the world around have possessed the intuitive ability to overcome the odds, or to accept what they cannot change. For six women in ancient Israel, acceptance and change of fortune shaped their futures and saved their lives. In my study of the women of the Old Testament, I found it interesting that there was at least one thing whether it was physical or spiritual I could relate in… Continue
