Job 1:6-12 (The Message)

6-7 One day when the angels came to report to God, Satan, who was the Designated Accuser, came along with them. God singled out Satan and said, "What have you been up to?"

Satan answered God, "Going here and there, checking things out on earth."



8 God said to Satan, "Have you noticed my friend Job? There's no one quite like him-honest and true to his word, totally devoted to God… Continue

1 Corinthians 9:24-25 (The Message)

24-25 You've all been to the stadium and seen the athletes race. Everyone runs; one wins. Run to win. All good athletes train hard. They do it for a gold medal that tarnishes and fades. You're after one that's gold eternally.



The race of life that is set before you has an end. Many know that the end is leaving this world and spending eternity with the… Continue

2 Corinthians 3:16-18 (The Message)



16-18 Whenever, though, they turn to face God as Moses did, God

removes the veil and there they are-face-to-face! They suddenly

recognize that God is a living, personal presence, not a piece of

chiseled stone. And when God is personally present, a living Spirit,

that old, constricting legislation is recognized as obsolete. We're free

of it! All of us!… Continue

1 Thessalonians 1:2-5 (New International Version)



2 We always thank God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers. 3 We

continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith,

your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our

Lord Jesus Christ.

4 For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, 5 because

our gospel came to you not simply… Continue

Isaiah 55:6-7 (The Message)

6-7 Seek God while he's here to be found,

pray to him while he's close at hand.

Let the wicked abandon their way of life

and the evil their way of thinking.

Let them come back to God, who is merciful,

come back to our God, who is lavish with forgiveness.



Be not fearful says the Lord in this time of turmoil in the world.

Those who diligently seek God… Continue

Exodus 34:8-9 (The Message)



8-9 At once, Moses fell to the ground and worshiped, saying, "Please, O

Master, if you see anything good in me, please Master, travel with us,

hard-headed as these people are. Forgive our iniquity and sin. Own us,

possess us."



In a dream I had last night, I was elevated into a place where I could

hear God's heart beat. The aura around me was of protection,… Continue

Exodus 18:17-23 (The Message)

17-23 Moses' father-in-law said, "This is no way to go about it. You'll burn out, and the people right along with you. This is way too much for you—you can't do this alone. Now listen to me. Let me tell you how to do this so that God will be in this with you. Be there for the people before God, but let the matters of concern be presented to God. Your job is to teach them the rules and instructions, to show them how to… Continue

"PREPARATION"

Elder Elect Catrina Pegues



2 Chronicles 35:14 (New International Version)

14 After this, they made preparations for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were sacrificing the burnt offerings and the fat portions until nightfall. So the Levites made preparations for themselves and for the Aaronic priests.



This morning as I was mediating, I heard the word PREPARATION. God said ask me what that means to… Continue

At bible study last night, my pastor touched on a point that I just have to expound on. And you can best believe I told him I would. (LOL!).



He said “Live by what you say” and God just continued to break it down even more to me last night and said tell my people,

WHAT YOU SPEAK! YOU PRODUCE!



Now let’s break that down with some scripture. Because when God gives a word, he ALWAYS gives his written word to back it up.



Let’s go to Matthew… Continue

As I was studying my Sunday school lesson because I was scheduled to teach Sunday morning. The lesson really spoke to me and I want to share what God has given me to share with his body of believers.

The scripture lesson came from Matthew 25:14-30. Jesus told the parable about servants who had been entrusted with their master’s resources or talents while the master was away. The lesson of this parable I believe is… Continue

Phil 4:19

"And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus."



How many times have we seen God move in our lives. There are times when we can just think about a thing and the manifestation of the thing comes to pass. I am just rejoicing this morning because the Lord continually defeats the enemy on my behalf and those things that I ask in His name, he grants that… Continue
