Feast or Famine!

So many people do not understand that struggles in your lives are not there to beat up on you, instill fear, or bring about hopelessness! Struggles happen that can either bring you closer to God or turn your hearts away from God!

When you are burdened down with decisions, financial setbacks, a wayward child, or sickness, don't look to God and ask why? God is not the one who brings about any harm, destruction or sickness, He is the one who heals, delivers, and upholds! Remember this verse and always understand that Satan is real:
(The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they 
may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it [overflows]). 
(John 10:10 AMP)
Then why are these things happening to me; you say? Again, it's so that you will call upon the Lord to deliver you from the storm, and to build upon His goodness and mercy to allow God to be a friend, instead of a “as needed basis”! If you are not willing to Trust in Jesus, then your problems will continue to reoccur over and over again! Just like the Israelites in the wilderness. They complained (which is sin) even after God had showed them miracle after miracle; and still they did evil in the sight of God. Whereas, those whose hearts had turned from God, did not get to the promised land. The evil they did unto God, came upon them! 

When you eat food like this in excess, it leads to poor health and sickness; which triggers doctor bills, medication and  struggles

If you are not tired of it, then continue as you are; however, for those who are, then receive Jesus right now as your Lord and Savior and begin a life of freedom from sickness, lack, unemployment, division and separation in the home, that are warring against you to keep you from Trusting in Him! God did not create any of us to fail, but everything He created, He created for success!

Say it out loud: 
Father in my heart, I am troubled and perplexed; however, I know there has to be a better life than the one I am living! I want to be whole and free from doubt and worry. Cleanse me of the load I am trying to carry alone! Jesus I receive you now as my Lord and Savior, who died on the cross for my sins! I believe you are the son of God and died to give me salvation (the deliverance from eternal death) on the cross! I know the journey will come with obstacles; however, I am ready to receive the benefits of my rightful inheritance you gave to me thousands of years ago! Thank you Jesus for your eternal love, goodness and mercy for my life, that you alone saved! Amen!


Upon receiving Jesus, you will feel better! Now is the time to equip yourself with God's armor (Ephesians 6:11-17) so that you will be able to stand against the tricks and treachery of Satan ~ and establishing a relationship with Him! 

For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from 
judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this 
[salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own 
striving], but it is the gift of God;
Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law’s demands], lest any man 
should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can 
pride himself in it or take glory to himself.] (Ephesians 2:8-9 AMP)

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...

You're not the ONLY one!

Why do we do that? You know, act like we are the most mistreated people in the world! If you stop to have a “brief” conversation with someone, in 3 minutes of listening to them, they have told you ALL about their troubles; and how it is destroying their lives. Yes, I am on a roll; because, I too, caught myself feeling blue – and for what? For no apparent reason other than Satan putting thoughts into my mind of what is not right in my life; whereas, basically, something didn't go the way I wanted it to, or expected it to, so I immediately went into a “feel sorry” mode! No one has thrown me under the bus other than my selfish desires. If things don't go our way, some have temper tantrums (yes even as adults), many force the issue and hurt others along that way with no conscious of how and who they hurt, and most sit around magnifying their misery by meditating on it to the point of either medicating themselves to numb the pain; or using another means of pleasure that ca...
