Faith

<p>Peter said, “Silver and gold have I none, but what I do have I give to you: rise up and walk.” That is drastically different than how we speak to sickness today—or even how we behave. You were not told to pray for sickness! You SPEAK to it! It’s false humility to walk around acting [&hellip;]</p>

<p>What’s cool about Moses is that he is a historical figure, not just biblical. His life is documented in secular history but the layer that makes it so beautiful to me is his relationship with the Living God. Imagine God in the form of a cloud standing in your doorway just talking with you. Don’t [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Saturday night, I ran a bath before bed. I sleep better after being lightly boiled for about 30 minutes. Don’t y’all just love a good hot bath after a long work week? For me, it serves two purposes: it helps me sleep in a bit and relaxes my overworked muscles. Before I got into the [&hellip;]</p>

<p>How many of us want a visit from God? That would be great, right? Imagine—God drops by, we exchange pleasantries, hugs, stories, a few tears, and then He leaves. This is what most want. We don’t want the Lord to actually live with us. That’s why Jesus had to sleep in the mountains. Folk wanted [&hellip;]</p>

<p>You cannot live walking on eggshells. The closer I get to 50, the freer I get. I used to try to be accepted and loved by everyone—who doesn’t want that? Then I got born again, and the scales fell from my eyes. I realized that I was now in a war I had never seen [&hellip;]</p>

<p>A hug vs. a punch in the face—which one would you want? If you are being challenged in the arena of your mind by the enemy and you cry out for help, would you want a hug or a punch in the face? This is something we need to work on as the Body of [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Yesterday, I took some time to just sit in silence—to quiet the voices in my head and the hurt in my heart. My apologies; I took no calls because I needed to watch my words and not wallow any longer in the heaviness. I couldn’t pray. I couldn’t even physically open my mouth. But I [&hellip;]</p>

<p>You free. Ya BEEN free. The only thing holding you back is YOU. You’re not waiting on God, He’s done all He’s gonna do and is now SEATED. Now RECEIVE the FINISHED work of Christ by faith. Whatever you’re facing in life has an answer, and that answer is found in the word. Find what [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Sadly, at the age of 49, I am only just now learning to slow down, live in the moment, and truly enjoy life. I’m beginning to understand that it’s okay to live on my own terms and to embrace my full, authentic self. For most of my life, I was merely surviving—never thriving. I had [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Can y’all imagine back in Jesus’ day how many people discounted Him? Isn’t this Mary and Joes boy? Didn’t he just make us a table? Didn’t he break my water pot a few years ago? Isn’t he friends with lil John up the road? 😂 they wanted to find a reason to not listen to [&hellip;]</p>

<p>No matter how I tried to run from God—while in rebellion and after I got free—He wouldn’t go. I was so riddled with shame and guilt that I didn’t want to talk to people about Jesus anymore. I didn’t want to pray or go to church because I didn’t want to be seen as a [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I’ve always seen posts that say, “Comparison is the thief of joy,” and I agreed to a certain extent, though I hadn’t given it much thought—until the thief of joy was at my front door. This morning, I logged onto my old Facebook account, scrolled a bit, and noticed my joy was being stolen. A [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Truth is… you only gravitate toward people who have something of you inside of them. So, if you&#8217;re hanging with adulterers, liars, gamblers, fornicators, atheists, etc., something inside of you calls to them. I ain’t got NOTHING in common with an atheist; that’s why they don’t stay too long on my blogs or socials.The Bible [&hellip;]</p>

<p>There’s one in every family. God chooses a person in every family to set aside for His use. You are the Joseph. This can be lonely and painful. When you go against everything taught and in your own direction that will cause rejection and isolation but under NO circumstance are you to run back. You [&hellip;]</p>

<p>When Elijah had to face the prophets of Baal in a showdown, he didn’t wring his hands and talk about how many there were or how successful they had been in the past. He knew his God.. and those who KNOW their God shall do exploits. He taunted them then called down fire.&nbsp; How can [&hellip;]</p>

<p>The Lord and Moses. What’s cool about Moses is that he is a historical figure, not just biblical. His life is documented in the secular world but the layer that makes it beautiful to me is his relationship with God.&nbsp; Imagine God in the form of a cloud standing in your doorway talking with you. [&hellip;]</p>

<p>On July 1 I had the sweetest dream. Many times after work I lay on the couch and take a quick cat nap.. that’s why I’m usually up so late. I work a lot and that day I was just tired.&nbsp; During this dream I was at a place of work it seemed. I was [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Who is Gods opposite? I can tell you right now that your mind immediately went to Satan. Satan is NOT Gods opposite. God is in a category all His own! He is THEE creator of ALLLL created things, that includes Satan. How can the created thing be equal to the creator? Is your child equal [&hellip;]</p>

<p>God gives you the children you need. My adult daughter’s sensitivity stretches me. Everything seemingly makes her cry or emotional. Millennials are all about emotion, Gen X is not unfortunately. As her mother I have had to take the time to sit back and understand things unfamiliar to me. I didn’t always do that because [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I was afraid. When the Lord came to me in a dream 29 years ago I knew I wanted to follow Him without question. The first few months I was on fire for Him, I was throwing oil and swinging bibles. I was zealous with no wisdom. I didn’t know that I had to come [&hellip;]</p>
