HOLY FRIDAY!

In the Old Testament, it was prophesied “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole”. Isaiah 53:5 AMP


No one has greater love [no one has shown stronger affection] than to lay down (give up) his own life for his friends. John 13:15 AMP

Today is a day to reflect and fully understand why Jesus died on the cross for all of us. However, within those three days, things were going on in the spiritual world that we read about in the word, but have no knowledge of how powerful His love was and still is for us (who believe) to conquer Heaven and Hell so you have protection from Satan to live a life filled with good health, a loving family, a home that is protected from the storms nature brings, and favor and blessings everywhere you go!


Pastor Creflo Dollar was speaking on how we are saved by Grace and there is nothing we can do to earn it or give it back ~ it’s free. He gave a member of his congregation a gift she was not expecting. She looked at him in surprise and he walked away. She sat there in amazement and Pastor Dollar asked her to open it up. She did and still had a puzzled look on her face! He said,”I know you are wondering why I gave you that gift and I also know you don’t have anything to give back to me”. She shook her head no and Pastor Dollar went on to the podium and said, “I just demonstrated “Grace”. It’s a free gift that you are not able to repay!



On Easter Sunday I pray many of you are filled with Thanksgiving and Love for our Savior! Why? Because He loved you first!

Do You REALLY Know?

I was in JC Penney a few years ago just browsing and this woman passed me calling a little girl who was in the shoe section to come on, she was ready to leave. The little girl quickly grabbed a specific pair of shoes and walked over to her, pleading for the shoes. Well being social, I commented they were very cute shoes and would look good on her. The Grandmother proceeded with, “She has more than enough shoes at home and although they are cute, we are not buying them”. The little girl begged for a short while and realized she was not going to win this battle, so the shoes went back to the shoe department. As the little girl was leaving, her Grandmother began telling me how she provides for the child quite often and her daughter (the child's Mother) do not have a good relationship. She badly berated her daughter to the point I said in my mind, “God should I pray for this woman”; because from listening to her story, I felt the relationship could not continue is this manner, an...

SILENCE - does no one Justice!

I posted this September 25, 2016 on social media. I have added some things; but it still holds weight and value! God put this on my heart to repost, and almost 4 years later many are seeing what Dr. King meant in the 60’s! I am speaking of those who call themselves Christians and Pastors who are silent and have been for centuries! Jesus says in John 15:17-18 AMPC: 17 This is what I command you: that you love one another. 18 If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before it hated you. Jesus also said: J ohn 15:10-16 AMPC If you keep My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love  and  live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father's commandments and live on in His love. I have told you these things, that My joy  and  delight may be in you, and that your joy  and  gladness may be of full measure  and  complete  and  overflowing. This is My commandment: that you love one another [jus...

Abiding in the Vine!

I am the vine you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing (John 15:5 NIV).   I do not own the rights to this photo  In the natural you are not able to change anyone who has an addiction. The worst thing we can do is to constantly talk about it to others. Satan I do not own the rights to this photo  has a stronghold on their thinking. Give it to God and let Him, in His power, restore your loved ones; and do not talk about it again. Once you pray, you are saying, God I am giving you permission to take care of my loved one~ and you are putting your Trust in God to do what only He can do anyway!  So get on your knees and pray and do not speak of what your loved one is going through anymore, but speak of what God is doing in their lives and how He is changing them from Glory to Glory!   And Don’t forget to “Thank Him”! In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree ...
