Happy New Year 2013 The Year Of Praise


I had another confirmation. I love it when God does His thang, I love it even more that I stay in His word and listen for Him to speak. I have been really feeling this in my spirit for a long time now. I thought it was me going coo-coo for coe-coe puffs but no, its not me and this is why. The mini message before the main message today was giving by Deacon Harvey and it was called Experiencing The Newness Through Prayer, Praise and Worship. Acts 16:23-26

Praise sends the enemy running. Praise is a declaration of victory. Praise is to command - it's an expression of Humility to God - it's fellowship and intimacy with God. Gods children must increase their praise to God. We must increase our praise to God. Granted we all do not praise God the same way but it is God who knows the heart. Millions upon millions upon millions are facing many circumstances and it is time to stop focusing on those circumstances, stop singing the sad oh whoe is me song, stop ALLOWING the devil to do what he does best, steal, kill and destroy. Stop letting the devil divide you from that which God deems Holy and start praising God for what He has done and will do. If He has delivered you, PRAISE HIM. If He has saved you, PRAISE HIM. If God has made a way where you could not, PRIASE HIM. So many that I know and come into contact with daily in the work that I do are consumed by the adversities, the pain of loss and sadness, the lack and even the government. And It was confirmed for me today that more praise is needed. We need to Praise God in our circumstances. I know God is truly doing a work in me and I shake my head with amazement and joy. Patience has never ever never ever been a strong suit of mine and this is the work God is doing in me, He is saying Patience My child, I am doing a great work. Praise God. Thank you Lord. He is also showing me to really open my eyes to somethings that I really try not to see and to some people knowing that it is He who knows all. Nothing his hidden under the sun.

God is good and if you tried everything and everyone else and nothing has worked, try Jesus, commit to God. He will never fail you. He will never leave you or forsake you. His grace if sufficient.

Spectators Never Win

1 Corinthians 9:24-26 in the NLT Paul tells us, “Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing”. I am reminded with every breath, the race I am running. I know that God has given me the vision and because He alone is omnipotent, having unlimited power, I have won, I just have to run. I may stumble and fall, I may get scratched up and bruised, but run I must.   An athlete does not go into a race with doubt and fear. They are not concerned with who is cheering them on. A runner cannot focus on the runner next to them thought they are aware that they are there. A runner is focused on the run, the finish line, and the score board that tells them if they have beaten a previous record for the win.   Being a runner on the track is the same as

I Won't Complain

After a few work days of buses not showing up for their scheduled stops, me getting home close to 2 hours later than normal,  and no good sleep I'm reminded still, how good God is. Even the periodic snaps of depression and anxiety haven't caused me to forget how good God is. The key is encouraging myself because all storms pass. It amazes me to see so many people unaware of the true effects of mental illness. They tell you, get over it. They are the ones who have no debilitating physical or educational knowledge of the struggles. They don't understand the fight everyday to remain in a visual normal state of mind with tending to the tasks requiring your presence. They can't understand why you cry for no apparent reason. Unaware that some wish to lay down at any given time to sleep hoping to never awake again. Unaware that at any moment a fuse can blow in ones mind and all hell can be unleashed. Unaware that they may see beauty or bronze, while a depressive is seeing

Win The Race With Endurance

Today has been a good day. How many of you get up in the mornings and say this? Do you get up with anticipation and drive to do all that you can in peace, or do you get up dreading the day before it even starts? You have a choice to either be grateful or in torment.  After a great call with a friend I haven't seen or talked to in over 30 years until a few weeks ago spoke so much life and confirmation in to me today.  I was reminded about endurance and running the race that God has placed me in. This race is nothing about what I want, it's about what His will is for me and nothing more. You see, we have to surrender our will for His will because as you know, God's will is the platform in which we have been placed at the starting line to run and not faint or grow weary. We been called and hand picked for a time such as now. Its urgent and immediate. Are you running to it or from it?  The past few months have been challenging on many levels and with these challen
