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!

Can I "Love" You This Much?

Negative words tear people down and exposes them.  "Every prudent man deals with knowledge, but a [self-confident] fool exposes and flaunts his folly." (Proverbs 13:16 AMPC)  (Folly biblical definition: 2a. : criminally or tragically foolish actions or conduct. b. obsolete : evil, wickedness especially : lewd behavior.) Confronting someone is different than badgering someone! Badgering means to repeatedly pester.  "By pride and insolence comes only contention, but with well-advised is skillful and Godly Wisdom." (Proverbs 13:10 AMPC)  When we lovingly and patiently correct others the response will be peaceful, loving and accepting also; however, words spoken in anger and with the intention to hurt, comes from a malicious and wicked heart. Hurtful words repeatedly play over in a person's mind (like a broken record) of how they don't measure up to the World's standards; therefore putting that person in the forefront of a sure target for Sat...

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...

Order Up!

Now serving ~ “Heartaches and bitter pain of defeat topped with a regard to accept a defeat with a constructive attitude”. Competition is tough and you better compete with a winning attitude or accept being defeated with dignity.  We train for a marathon, we practice daily, if you are on a basketball team, gymnastics team, or the swim team; in addition to the conditioning, training and proper diet that is needed to compete. Other competitions that are not physical take intense studying; whereas, you still have to rest so the brain will retain the knowledge you need to “win”. I was a low hurdler in high school; however, when I was asked to compete in the low hurdles, I did not know how to even jump over them properly.  One day during practice, my older brother was at the track practicing shot put and looked over at me struggling with the hurdles. He came over and gave me some much needed advice. He said, “Gwen, you have to hit ‘em low and take only three step...
