Who Do You Allow To Define........ YOU?

Who Do You Allow To Define..... YOU?

Grace and Peace be unto you today........

I am honored and pleased to pen this new message to you.....

Saints of God, who do you allow to define you? Who do you allow to write the book of your life? Most of our lives we try to live up the the standards of other people. Whether it is the dreams of our parents or others, we waste our lives trying to do what other people want us to do.

Why? Who… Continue

Is anybody in a fight? pt2

Wonderful people of God, I am fine. :-) We are always engaging in spiritual warfare, and we don't sit back passively nor silently and let the enemy take over our homes, jobs, spirit... we are pressed on all sides, yet not in despair. The kingdom suffer violence and the violent take it by force. I don't want anyone to think that something is wrong, or I'm going OFF in my previous blog, because we that are following CHRIST is in some kind of fight one way or another, if you're not, keep walking… Continue

How Can Christians Redeem the Time? Part 1

This post was inspired by Prophetess Arlene Dorn's post on dealing with stress. As a corporate business trainer and coach, I am continually amazed at how people in corporate America take a hold of a concept like time management and then implement strategies to improve their lives. As Christians, we must do the same!

Ephesians 5:16 speaks of "Redeeming the time, because the days are evil." Time in this verse is the Greek word: Kairos (καιρός) meaning the right or opportune moment.… Continue

1. Quit arguing with people about the same old foolishness! Respect their position and keep it moving!

WHERE IS YOUR ACCOUNTABILITY??

God told the prophet Jeremiah, “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure” (Jeremiah 17:9). Our ability to embed ourselves within the impenetrable shell of rationalization, projection and denial is nothing short of amazing.

Neil Plantinga writes:

We deny, suppress, or minimize what we know to be true. We assert, adorn, and elevate what we know to be false. We prettify ugly realities and sell ourselves the prettified versions. Thus a liar might… Continue

A Level Of Excellency In Our Decision Making

1 Peter 2:9,10 - But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation. God's very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for He called you out of the darkness into His marvelous light. Once you had no identity as a people; now you are God's people. Once you received n mercy; now you have received God's mercy.

Decisions. It's a funny thing about decisions. For every decision there is a consequence. And the results… Continue

Stop Robbing God's People!

A warning to all charlatans and would-be tithe extractors and collectors: There is NO temple of God being officiated in Jerusalem today. There is NO Levitic priesthood to officiate at such a temple. There is NO NEED for such a temple or priesthood at this time. Only Levites could collect tithes at the temple. Therefore, EVERYONE collecting tithes today is a charlatan and a fake. If one cannot historically trace back his genealogy generation by generation with no lapses to the family of Aaron,… Continue

"Will a Man Rob God?"

"Will a man ROB God?" How many untold tens of thousands of men will give account one day for teaching this verse in Malachi 3:8 totally out of context for their own sordid gain. I couldn’t count the times I have heard self-appointed ministers of the gospel berate their congregations and listeners for "robbing God" in tithes and offerings. This verse in Malachi certainly means what it says. Someone was defrauding God of tithes and offerings, but wait until you find out who it is that God blames… Continue

Witnessing Do's and Don'ts

"Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned, as it were, with salt, so that you may know how you should respond to each person," (Col. 4:5-6).

Like most things in life, witnessing has guidelines. Following is a list of 20 Do's and 12 Don't's. They should aid you while witnessing and help prevent serious errors. If, however, you choose to ignore them, witnessing will be difficult and… Continue

The Lord spared our lives(4/3)

Romans 8:28.

Thanks for your continual prayers. God is so merciful and I am extra thankful today. The Lord spared our lives on Friday (4/3). We were in a violent accident on the freeway. A lady came over on us and squeezed us up against the dividing wall. Our car blew a tire, went out of control, skidded across three lanes of traffic and the back hit the retaining wall on the other side. It bounced back and ended up blocking the second and third lanes.

Without that wall being there or… Continue

A Nation with Nothing Left but God...

A Nation with Nothing Left "But God".... When you have nothing left but "God" your enemies need a "shout out". They need to go home before it's to late. You need to "seek God" when enemies become to powerful and to many for you to fight. The United States has been a help to every Nation under God, now we face the most devestating time in our history, and not one of us is spared. But the people of God have no…

EAGLE

At one point in my life I felt like I didn't fit in anywhere. As some would say (outcast). But one day someone told me EAGLES FLY ALONE!!!!!!!!!! My GOD! My GOD! That was enough revelation for me. I've been soaring ever since.

The Urgency of Uncompromising Saints

The time has come for the real church to STAND UP!! Everywhere you turn today their is doom and gloom concerning the state of the economy, the state of the black family, the condition of our youth and the plight of our financial condition. Yes, all of these are cause for pause, but where is the CHURCH?

What does the BIBLE say about these issues and why aren't we preaching and teaching in a present time of need? Though the charge isn't to all, I must venture to say, it is to more than… Continue

ONLY ONE LOOK WILL SOLVE YOUR SIN PROBLEM

"He who desires to discover the glories and excellencies of this Lamb of God, must thus look on Him." - Adam Clarke

"When Leonardo da Vinci (died 1519) was working on his famous painting "The Lord's Supper," he had but one object in view - that the person of the Savior should attract and hold the attention of all who beheld the painting. But in one part of the picture there was a tiny ship that he had painted with great care for three weeks. When the painting was exhibited and the… Continue

" The Miracle Of Passover", by the late Zola Levitt - a Video in 5 Parts

Many of you may have heard of Zola Levitt. He was a Jew who accepted the Messiah.

On these videos he presents the traditional Passover seder. The Passover seder is what is done every year by the Jewish people. In it you will see how Messiah is repeatedly forshadowed within it. Many Believers have deleted the "egg" from the service and modified other parts as well, so the the service reflects more Biblical truths.

Unlike in the Christmas and Easter celebrations, where there… Continue

Why seek ye the Living among the Dead?

Why seek ye the Living among the Dead?

The Son of man, The Son of God, all in one, never separated, never to die again. This is the Lord Jesus Christ.

In the troublesome times many are asking, “Will Jesus Return?” This is also in the prophecies of the scripture. We, as Christian, know that Jesus will return, but the multitudes are asking for proof. We have no proof except our faith in God and His word. Is it so hard to believe that Jesus will return? Is it so hard to… Continue

Terrorists Cell Groups planted in the CHURCH

Their leader, Osama Bin Lucifer, trained these groups to destroy the Body of Christ. The plan is to come into the church disguised as Christians and to work within the church to discourage, disrupt, and destroy.

However, there have also been reports of a sixth… Continue

The Coal Basket Bible

The story is told of an old man who lived on a farm in the mountains of Kentucky with his young grandson. Each morning, Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading from his old worn out Bible. His grandson who wanted to be just like him tried to imitate him in any way he could.

One day the grandson asked, "Papa, I try to read the Bible just like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does… 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
