Dedication
For all those who knew me back in
the day, I think about you often.
Not of those things we were into,
but the status of your soul. I often
hear Christians say, people dont
come to the Kingdom of God by
choice; they have to be prayed in.
To my family, friends, coworkers
and those who I knew in passing,
Im praying that God will enlighten
your heart with those things which
are honest, truthful, loving, peaceful
and most of all, with the
understanding of who God is and
the relationship He wants for you
and your generations to come.
I love you with the agape love of
Christ. Old things have passed
away, behold, all things in my life
have become new.
God is no respecter of person. What
He did for me, He will do it for you.
Love You Much!

The Question Is Are You?

Page | 1

Are You Abiding in Gods Love?


In this life, so many things can come to
distract us from abiding in Gods love. Yes!
We have families, loved ones, jobs, and
many other things in our lives.
But are we letting this hinder us from
serving God?
Everything we go through, Jesus has already
suffered it on the cross so we are without
any excuses! Do you have balance in your
lives? Or are you just going the distance
without Him in it? Jesus wants to be our
first, our last, our everything But He only
can be if we let Him
We dont have to go the distance aloneWe
have a comforter! We have a divine Guide!
The way has already been made. All we
have to do is walk in it!
Are you abiding in the Love of God?
The Word of God says, If we abide in Him
and His words abide in us, we can ask what
we will and it shall be done for us! We

Page | 2

cant do this alone. Its all by the grace of


God. Can the fruit bear without the tree?
Think about it! Do you know how powerful
that is? All we have to do is dwell in Him
and let His word do the work in our lives.
God has a plan for our life. We can try to
run, but God knows where we are. We can
try to hid, but God is also there.
The Word lets me know if we go to the
deeper part of the earth, He is there. If we
soar to the highest part of the heavens, He is
there. NOTHING is hidden from His eyes.
Think about it! If we have all His help, all
His love, a Road Map of how were suppose
to live, why would we want to do this alone?
What shall it profit if we gain all the worlds
good and have not the Love of God abiding
in our Heart?
It Profits us NOTHING

Are You Busting Out In Gods Love?


Is the Love of God shinning through your
lives? God gives us His love to be seen by
all who looks upon our life.
God will keep us through every situation.
His Love will take us through the darkest
hour. His love will still be there in the
earliest of mornings.
Are you bursting out in Gods Love?
Through all of the wrong decisions, through
all of our mistakes, God is still there saying
He Loves Us
When we feel like were defeated and our
backs are against the walls. God is still there
coaching us on that we can make it.Hell
never leave us or forsake us.
Are you bursting out in Gods Love?
Being in this flesh is no joke. Were learning
about what we need to strip off, tear out,
build up and grow inAnd God is still there
Page | 4

letting us know that He Loves Us.


His Grace and Mercy is always extended
towards us. Yes! His Grace (Unmerited
Favor, Enabling Power) is sufficient.
Are You Bursting Out in Gods Love?
His Son Jesus loved us so much that He
choose to die for our sins to bring us back to
the Father. One Man because the whole
world to fall into sin. And by one man, we
were given a chance to be reconciled by to
the Father. What great Love the Father and
Son have for mankind.
Every thing that Jesus suffered from a child
throughout the 40 years of manhood, it was
all to bring us back to the Father.
We have no excuseFrom the bully who
harassed us through school
To the toe that we stomped
To the bad headaches that we sometime
suffer with
Page | 5

To the sometimes empty pockets from not


managing our money right
To the times we just dont feel like going
on
To everything we may feel, think, or even
speak. EVERYTHING.There is No
Excuse For Any.
Do you know that Jesus already suffered it
on the cross?
He did it because He loved us so much, He
didnt want us to lose out on the relationship
with the Father. Did you know sin can stand
in the presence of God?
Think about it! What a loving God we serve.
If you dont know Him, Its time to ask
Jesus to be our personal savior. To forgive
us of our sins and come in our hearts that we
may serve and live and praise and Love
Him.
So Today, Are You Bursting Out with Gods

Love?

Are You Following Gods Roadmap?


In life, were all following a plan! Look at a
natural roadmap. Some have a paper map,
some have a GPS (Global Positioning
System); some simply use the cell to call
others for directions.
But are you following what God have placed
in front of you to follow? His Word is our
roadmap in this life. Everything we go
through, every decision we try to make,
every question that we ponder in our minds
are in this map, which is the Word of God.
Do we seek after the answers that God
would have us to go, or do we try and make
decisions based on our own preconceived
notions?
God loved us from the beginning of creation
and He knew in this life what we were going
to face. There are answers for every
situation. The Word of God says, He
knows our down sitting and our uprising.
He understands all our thoughts afar off.
Are we seeking God for the answers?
Page | 8

God has already laid out our path in this life.


He is acquainted with all our ways. All our
members are written in His book.
The Word of God says we are fearfully and
wonderfully made!
Are we following Gods Roadmap?
When you driving on a road, you may have
some bumps, potholes, hills and curves.
There may be a straight of road that may be
smooth sailing. Its the same in our life. We
will go through trials, tribulations,
disappointments, hurts and others things our
flesh will not like. But God has a remedy
for them all.
Hell never leave us or forsake us. Its nice
to know there is nothing new under the sun.
Nothing that we can think about is new in
Gods eyes. Maybe to man, but not to God!
And He knows everything on the road in our
lives.
Are we following Gods Roadmap?
When we praise God, Pray, Lift Him up,
were following Gods Road Map. When
Page | 9

we have on the breastplate of righteousness


and our feet covered with the preparation of
the Gospel of Peace, were following Gods
roadmap. When we own no map nothing
but Love, and we turn the other cheek when
they talk about us, were following Gods
roadmap.
When we let our lights shine in this dark
world of sin, when we esteem others higher
than ourselves, when we look on the needs
of others, were following Gods roadmap.
Think about it! Are you on the road to life
everlasting? Or are you just on the road?

Page | 10

Are You Singled?


Before you think otherwise, Im speaking of
being singled minded!
Serving the Lord with one mind
Only see God for His goodness. Not having
a mind to look back, or thinking youve
missed something in the world by giving
your heart to God.
The Word of God says, a double-minded
man is unstable in all his ways.
What does this mean? Its doubt
Believing that God will do something, the
next minute, youre saying the opposite.
The Word say, let not that man think he will
received anything from God.
Its a contradiction.
Its either all or nothing.
Believing God in faithThe Word say
youre unstable in all your ways WishyWashy
Cant make up your mind about anything
Page | 11

If you can adapt a mindset to draw near to


God, He will draw nigh to you. But theres
something we must do! We must cleanse
our hands and purify our hearts.
We have to watch what we handle. Touch
not the unclean things of this world. Guard
ourselves against the unclean thoughts that
might linger in our hearts.
In other words, have we fully committed to
the things and ways of God? If we freely
give, were freely receiving. This not only
speaks about the natural things. But freely
give God our all. All our praise, all our
worship, all our issues, all the things that
cause us to think differently about our
brothers and sisters. All the things we might
be holding on to
If we do this, God will freely give us of His
goodness and replace those things with the
righteousness of His grace and mercy!
Think about it! Are we heading down that
single lane on Gods highway? Its the
narrow path?

Page | 12

Are You Separated From This World?


The Word of God says that He created us
even before we entered into our mothers
womb Separated from the beginning
Different than any other person, were
special. There is no one else exactly like we
are.
God has made us unique for His glory.
But are you separate from the things of this
world?
Our lights are supposed to be shinning so
bright that it will do 2 things.
1.
2.

Draw men/women near to find out


whats so different about us.
Repel men/women because their
deeds were evil and they hate the
light.

Just the very presence of Christ stretches far


out of our surroundings. The light that
illuminates around us is actually a covering.
Its the presence of the Holy Spirit. People
feel it when youre there. Its a covering
where ever we are. The world doesnt know
Page | 13

that its also protecting them while were


there. Where ever you lay your head, youre
covering (which is the Spirit of God) abides
there as well.
So Gods Spirit is with you, once you give
your hearts to the Lord.
Are you doing, acting, talking, walking, and
dressing, following the fads like the world?
Were supposed to have a different flare
about us! Even our very presence is
supposed to be unique to the world so, that it
puzzles them.
Im not speaking of being spiritual or holier
than thou! Im speaking of a true difference
that Christ made in our lives.
As the Word of God is imparted in our
hearts, it makes changes to our lives. We
began to be transformed into the things like
Christ. Weather you know this or not, were
being made into the likeness of Jesus by His
grace. Our mannerism becomes different.
Our thoughts become renewed. Our dress
becomes more presentable. Our speech with
more wisdom! Even the way how we use to
Page | 14

be, began to change into more of the things


of Christ.
This separation is not by our goodness or
even by what we can do. Its all by Gods
grace. We cant do this on our own even if
we try! Well fall back under the laws of sin.
And God has saved us by His grace through
His Sons Blood Jesus Christ
So today, think about itAre we being
transformed into the newness of Christ?

Page | 15

Are You Shakable?


In this present day that were living in, there
are many false doctrines that will try to deter
you from the truth! Many have taken the
Word of God and changed it to fit their
ideas, their lifestyles, and comforts.
Are you Confident in what you have?
These doctrines are coming forth to try and
shake our foundation.
What is your house built on?
The Word of God says in these last days,
men heart will faint for what they see
coming in this land. There are wars, rumor
of wars, recession so the world say, people
losing their livelihood jobs, divorce and
the highest levels ever. Children disobeying
their parents and not respecting authority.
Are you confident in what you have?
If our foundations are built on any other
doctrine other than the Word of God, we
WILL be shaken

Page | 16

God is given us this day to come to Him and


ask Him to build up our lives with the Word
of God.
His will is that none be lost and that all
come to repentance. We have to be so
transparent with God that nothing will be
able to hinder us from what we believe.
We have to be neither black nor white,
neither male nor female, neither a Jew nor
Greek.
Were Children of the most High God.
Were a royal priesthood. Were a Chosen
generation. Joint heirs with the Son Jesus
to the Father God.
So you see, we have to have the mind of
Christ if were looking to go back with him.
When He breaks the sky, Hes only taking
back those who are in His image.
If were so pro anything and believe that
God is going to take us with Him.were
wrong.

Page | 17

If we believe that there is only one kind of


people that God is going to take
back..were wrong Dont get it twisted!
Hes not coming back if youre a Baptist,
Catholic, Protestant, Jehovah Witness,
Seven Day Adventist, etc. Those things are
titles
God is coming back for His church. That
church is YOU.If we believe that Jesus is
the Son of God. Came to be man in flesh.
Died for our sins and rose on the third day.
He conquered death and the grave. Death
had no dominion over Him.
And the only way to get to the Father is
through the Son Jesus. The Word of God
says, I am the Truth, the Way, and the Life.
No one comes to the Father except through
the Son.
Are you Confident in what you have?
If we say we love God whom we have not
seen, and cant love our brothers here on this
earth, who we can see. The Word of God
says how the Love of God in usdwells
Page | 18

So, if this is the case, there should be no


prejudice, no hate, and no dislikes about
ones skin colors, or their cultures.
Now were commanded to love everyone.
But the sins that they do, we can hate them.
As God commanded us! Just as Jesus loved
us when we were in our sins, we have to be
the same.
So today, lets examine to see if were
shakable by the things of this world?

Page | 19

Are You Reaching Out?


In this world, there are so many that are in
need of help! People needing shelters,
needing food, needing a smile, needing a
hug.
Are we reaching out to others?
The Word of God commission us to do these
things while were here on this earth.
We have so much we can give. Our love,
our time, our energy!
Wait a minute.So you say, you have
nothing to give, or you dont have the time?
What if God tells us that Hes busyToo
busy to bless us or supply our needs? Wont
that be something?
The Word of God says greater works we
will do, than He did while He was here on
this earth. Jesus came to save the lost, to set
the captives free! The feed the hungry, to
minister the Word of Life, TO LOVE ALL
MANKIND!

Page | 20

Where is the Love of God in our hearts?


Are we so busy that were only thinking of
ourselves? It only takes a minute or two of
your time to give the gift of life, to be an
encouragement to someone in need.
For every man need to look on the needs of
others and not on ourselves. Do you know
that if we do these things, God says He will
bless us back in abundance?
The story comes to mind about the Good
Samaritan.How the Priest and the Levite
saw the Jewish man who fell among the
thieves.And they beat him and robbed
him and left him for dead. Both the priest
and the Levite passed on the other side.
But the Good Samaritan saw him and had
compassion on this man. Aid him,
bandaged his wounds, placed him on his
beast, and took him to an inn. Paid for the
expenses and vowed to take care of
whatever else he used.
Which one do you think that was a neighbor
to that man?

Page | 21

There are examples for everything we go


through in life in the Word of God!
The Jewish man was of a different
nationality from the Samaritan. So it
doesnt matter what race, country, skin
color, gender you areGod is not looking at
that. Hes looking at your heart
The more were able to do for others, the
more selfish less well become.
Jesus was not selfish when it came to dying
on the cross for our sins. He looked upon
His assignment and took upon Himself the
sins on man in the flesh.
Think about it? Are we that Priest or Levite
that will pass a homeless person on the
street, or that widow, or that single parent?
Or are we a Good Samaritan?
Oh what a mighty God we serve.

Page | 22

Are You Ready?


If Christ were to come right now, can we say
that were ready to meet Him?
Have we been examining ourselves, being
watchful and prayerful?
Have we done everything that God has
required for us? Is your house in order?
This is like a family who has a house full of
kids The parents are on a journey and tell
them all the things to take care of before
they return. Theyre expecting the house to
be clean from clutter or the dishes washed or
the rooms tidied up.
This is how the kingdom isWe are the
family and God the Father has given each of
us tasks and talents to do so that when He
comes back, He can see that we have been
about our Fathers business.
We all have a destiny to walk in.
Performing out the gifts of the spirit that
God has administered to each and every one
of us! We all have been commissioned to
do a work for God.
Page | 23

My gift is not like yours and neither yours


like any other. Do you know what your
calling is? Are you walking in what God
has ordained for your life?
When the Father shall come, are these things
done?
Jesus is coming back for those who have a
relationship with Him. Its not by any
works lest any man can boast. We cant
earn salvation.
Its a free gift by Gods grace
It doesnt matter how many anniversaries
youve had in the church. Doesnt matter of
how many dinners you sold! Its not by how
holy you think youre dressing. Or even
how you may wear your hair
Those things are legalism or in a form or
fashion that blocks the relationship with
Christ. Its clutters our spiritual houses that
we cant receive the things of God. God is
not looking at those things.
God is the only righteous judge that will
judge the quick and the dead!
Page | 24

Hes coming back for a pure heart. Yes the


works you do may be good, but my question
is today Do you know Him in the power of
His resurrection and in the fellowship of His
suffering?
We must strive to be in a place where we
can know who God is. Once we know who
He is, His power will flow through our
hearts and minds. We will be able to do
what thus says the Lord!
We wont doubt the Word of our Father.
We will step out on faith and believe Him
for His promises.
Thank God He has given us another day to
establish a relationship or a closer one with
Him!
Do you know Him or do you know of Him?
There is a difference.

Page | 25

Are You Ready For Change?


Nothings impossible for God. Nothings
too difficult. Are you ready for change and
favor? Give it to God! Hell open up the
windows of heaven and pour out blessings
until it overflows.
All you have to do is give your heart and life
to Him
He can fix it, mend it, deliver you and love
you. All things are possible to those who
believe

Page | 26

Are You Ready For Lift-Off?


10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1Lift-Off..These
words are what you hear when a rocket ship
is ready for takeoff.
Just as the rocket that takes off, Im asking
you today, are your souls ready to be taking
up when Jesus comes?
There are many precautions that authorities
take to prepare that rocket for the final day
of approach. They check all the fluids, the
engine, the controls in the cockpit and all the
other avenues that pertain to that ship.
In Christ, were all the same. Were
checking and examining ourselves daily for
all the necessary tools thats needed in our
lives to prepare ourselves to meet our maker.
Are we doing what the Word of God says?
Do we love our brother and our enemies?
Are we turning the other cheek? Are we
applying the Word of God to our life, to let
it strip off everything thats not like Christ?
Is the Love of God being applied to our
hearts that God can shine through our lives
in this dark world of sin?
Page | 27

Did you know that no sin will stand before


God! It cant stand in His presence. And
when God calls our name, and were not
prepared our temples for Him, If we didnt
follow the floor plan that God has set for us,
well be lost
Are you ready for takeoff?
Were not going to be lost due to the sin, but
because we dont have a relationship with
the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Theyre the trinity! The three are one.
So if anyone tells you otherwise, this is not
so. Search the scriptures for yourself. The
Word of God says, in these last days, men
will come with false doctrine to lure you
away from the truth.
Know the Word for yourself. As you speak
it, you hear it. As you hear it, it builds up
your faith and you can believe God for His
promises.
Faith comes by hearing the Word of God.
Today, lets take a closer look at our lives
and examine ourselves Are we walking
Page | 28

in the likeness of Jesus? If not, today God


has given us time to get it right with Him.
Dont wait thinking you have more time.
Tomorrow is not promised to any man.
Lets thank God that He has given us
another day to build that relationship with
the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.

Page | 29

Are You Standing For The Truth?


In todays society, there are so many things
that can distort us from the truth. The
worlds truth is not what God has meant for
it to be.
This world is twisted with perverseness and
the devil has blinded most with lies.
The ONLY truth is the Word of God. Its
pure, holy, and honest, without lies,
hypocrisies, dishonesty, falsehoods.
The world would tell you that youre a
fanatic about what you believe. But the
Word of God say, Enter in at the straight
gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the
way, that leads to destruction, and many
there be which go in: Because straight is the
gate, and narrow is the way, which leads
unto life, and few there be that find it.
Why?
Because most people want the blessings of
God but dont want to serve the Blesser

Page | 30

Are you willing to stand for the truth of


Jesus Christ? Yes there will be persecutions
for believing not as the world. But when
you dont believe as the world, youre not
manipulated, or deceived. Youre not fooled
by the corruption or the twisted knowledge
of this world.
The Word of God says, were in this world
by not of it. And His Word brings a freedom
in your lives by the grace of God.
So when you decided to take a stand for
what is Truth, all your friends, family, coworkers and everyone that knows you will
take a stand against youIf they dont love
the light.
That light will shine on everything thats has
darkness in it. And the Word says man
loved darkness rather than the light because
their deeds were evil.
When we take a stand for whats righteous,
Seeks the truth of God, well dwell in the
secret place of the Most High and abide
under the shadow of the Almighty.

Page | 31

Were going to see lots of evil things happen


around us. But God says that There shall no
evil fall on us, neither shall any plague
(epidemic - disease) come in our dwellings.
God gives his angels charge over us, to keep
us in all our ways. They shall bear us up in
their hands, lest thou dash our feet against a
stone.
Look at Gods protection.
But to get to this place, our lives have to be
hidden in His Word. We cant be in a secret
place if were doing, acting, talking the
same as the world. They wouldnt see a
difference if we are.
But when you decide to separate from the
world and put on the whole amour of God.
The Word says when we do; we will stand
in the evil days.
Having your loins girt about with truth, and
having on the breastplate of righteousness;
And your feet shod with the preparation of
the gospel of peace;

Page | 32

Above all, taking the shield of faith, where


ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts
of the wicked.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word of
God:
Praying always with all prayer and
supplication in the Spirit, and watching
thereunto with all perseverance and
supplication for all saints.
Boy, dont we have some protective gear
that God have supplied us with.
Are you clothed today with the righteous of
God?
If you dont take a stand for the truth, then
you have no strength but to fall for the lies
of the devil in this world.

Page | 33

Are you expecting today?


There are so many people who have the
knowledge of God but denying the power of
God
God is waiting to do all that He promised
The love of God is so powerful; it will
transform our old ways into the newness of
the righteousness of Christ.
He will take those hateful ways, attitudes,
and thoughts and adorn you with love.
He will take the spirit of sadness and give
you joy unspeakable. Those who have had
their hearts broken time over time, God will
heal that broken heart and make you whole.
Jesus will give you a new identity
God will keep all we commit unto Him until
that day. Why sit and hope for change.
God is that change and is ready to accept
you into the kingdom
Im expecting to die out from my flesh
more Im expecting to receive all God
has for me this day

Page | 34

Im looking for greater revelations and


hidden secrets from the throne to open up
today.
Today, God has given us fresh mercies and
empowered us with grace, which is
immeasurable favor and enabling power to
overcome all that come against us from
above
Its a joy to be living in the newness of life
which God has prepared for those who love
Him.
I thank God in Him; who is the Hope of
Glory THERE IS NONE LIKE HIM
Hallelujah to His holy name
This is so great a life and salvation is
extended to all who call upon the name of
Jesus
If youre tired of the same old junk in your
life thats going round and round in circles
you cant control

Page | 35

Ask Jesus into your heart by confessing


youre a sinner and youre in need of a
Savior.
Ask God to forgive you of your sins.
God will come in and wash you clean, give
you a new heart and bless you with a new of
life.
Old things will pass away and you will
become a new creature in Christ.
Youll start to see your life in a brand new
way.
Oh praise God from whom all blessings
flow
We all have a purpose and a divine
destiny But we cant fulfill it being in the
world living in our flesh
It takes the power of God to keep us and
lead us into the pathway of all truth
Were all fearfully and wonderfully
created.

Mark 9:22

Page | 44

Day 8
When issues come in our lives, lets not ask
God to move the valleys, lets ask God to
move on us.
Hes the only one who can change our doom
into day! Our sorrow into joy! Our pain
into laughter! Our hate into Love!
The choice is ours For as many as are led
by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of
God
Romans 8:14, 28

Page | 45

Day 9
Being in Christ changes your life from
seeking things on this earth to seeking those
things which are from above. New
thoughts, new deeds, new walk, new
freedom. No longer my own!
I belong to Him!
2 Corinthians 5:17

Day 10
Did you know when you put your trust in
God; He will not let you down. What is
trust? It believes in, depending on, confide
in, counting on.
Simply put, relying on somebody or
something. Giving God first place in our
thoughts, decisions, or even how we move
in our day to day lives, we are putting our
trust in God...
Proverbs 3:5-10

Page | 46

Day 11
Today is a fresh start. God gives new
mercies every morning. Whatever you've

All we can do is learn from it, get it right
and give God the glory.
Romans 8:1

Day 12
There is a saying Sharing is Caring. Sharing
the Love of God is Caring for peoples
souls.
When you lift up the name of Jesus, God can
draw them through the loving kindness you
show.
Jeremiah 31:3

Page | 47

Day 13
If God gives us power to manage everything
in our lives, and all things work together for
our good, then why do we allow things to
separate us from His love? Think about it?
We should be rejoicing in the God of our
salvation when trials come, not
complaining.
Romans 8:28-39

Day 14
Did you know loving your neighbor will
help you not to look on the needs of
yourself?
This will not only generate a love for others,
but it will also keep you with a sense of
humility. God loved us so much that He
looked on our needs and sent His only son.
Love your neighbor as yourself
John 3:16, Matthew 22:36-39
Page | 48

Day 15
The church is arising that were seeing this
world through the Fathers eyes. Were
those lights that are sitting on the hills.

not shinning.
Walk through the open doors God has
provided Gods people have that boldness
to do the Masters Will.
Know who you are in Christ
Matthew 5:13-16

Day 16
When I think about women in this world,
they want to be loved. Men, they want to be
respected.
Did you know being in Christ we can have
all God got for us. Love unconditionally,
total respect from Gods people.
There is freedom being a doer of Gods
Word There is freedom in loving God
James 1:22-25
Page | 49

Day 17
No one in this life if perfect, none except the
Father. But when we speak Gods word
over our lives, situations, issues, well find
that God will transform us more into the
image of Christ.
Its a growth process Things will begin to
change Continue to Thank God and see
His manifestation come to surface. Now
faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1

Day 18
Wisdom is the key to winning souls for the
Kingdom of God. Wisdom will show us
how to speak with people, love people and
yields to the Spirit of God to have a word for
others, in season and out. He who wins
souls is wise...
Proverbs 11:29

Page | 50

Day 19
When you are born again into the Kingdom
of God, He has a way to allow continuous
rivers to spring up from the pit of our
bellies. From those rivers will flow into
everlasting live.
We are renewed each day to all those that
believe and are receiving from His Spirit.
John 7:38

Day 20
God will give us the desires of our heart if
we put Him first in ours.
Have we ever ask, God is this your will in
my life?
We speak much of Gods Word to others; do
we know the Word of God is going to be
tried in the fire of our lives?
Thank God for all things
I Peter 1:7, Luke 12:48
Page | 51

Day 21
Gods love is the compassion that God has
placed in His people to love the world as He
loves us.
This is the same mind we must arm
ourselves with that were like-minded as
Christ is.
John 3:16, I Peter 4:1, 8,
Psalms 139:14-15

Day 22
It is not the Lords mercy He gives that we
are not consumed?
The Lord is faithful in which He will not
suffer us to be tempted above that which we
are able.
There is always a way of escape through
temptations that we will be able to bear it.
Lamentations 3:22-23, 1 Corinthians 10:13

Page | 52

Day 23
If you want to be great in God, seek His
Love.
For Charity is the greatest thing we can
ask
I Corinthians 13

Day 24
When we wait on God with patience,
expectations will come forth as we continue
to thank God until our desires manifest in
our lives. Patience is a good quality

Day 25
We need not worry about what we dont
have.
If we seek God and His righteousness, all
our needs will be supplied according to His
riches in Glory.
We walk by faith, not by what we can see.
Waiting on God with patience is a good
thing
Luke 12:22-24, Matthews 6:33, 2
Corinthians 5:7

Day 26
We as a people need relationships with each
other? Relationship is a connection,
friendship, associations, or interactions.
We need Fellowships with our families,
spouses, children and most of all God
Most say they have a relationship with God
but only know His word
God Is Relational
Philippians 3:9-10
Page | 54

Day 27
Everything about us is different than the
world around us.
Our speech, our dress, our mannerism, our
outlook on life!
When the world sees there is a difference in
our lives, theyll not only wonder how were
so different, but God has a chance to touch
their lives and draw them to Him for His
glory.
Colossians 3rd Chapter

Page | 55

Day 28
When God is in control, He shows
everything not like Him. His spirit opens up
the mysteries of the Word of God to bring
you up into another realm.
God will lead you and guide you into all
truth. Its only one truth, and that is the Will
of God.
God is Almighty, Hes everywhere at all
times, He all things to all people.
John 16:13, Philippians 4:7, 1 Corinthians
1:27

Page | 56

Day 29
This race is not given to the swift or the
battle to the strong, but to those who will
endure to the end?
Be encouraged today. A Righteous Man
will fall seven times and rise again. Get up
and get back in the race. Your race is not
finished yet

Page | 57

Day 30
If you confess your sins and ask for
forgiveness the Lord will forgive you,
cleanse you from all unrighteousness (sin)
come into your heart and be your personal
Savior. You first have to believe He died for
your sins and rose the 3rd day.
You can make that change right now by
asking Jesus into your hearts. Once you do,
the Love of God will overtake your live.
You will become a new creature in Christ.
Old things will pass away and all things will
become new.
Praise Him.For He is who He isThere is
No Other God Like Him

SHORT NOTES

A FEW LINES OF ENCOURAGEMENTS


~ The peace of God can rule daily in our
lives? We don't have to be troubled,
disturbed, feeling down or distressed. Jesus
paid the price over 2000 years ago on the
cross that we might have life and that more
abundantly!
Today, make God bigger than your troubles
& see the manifestation of Him move on
your behalf! Read Psalm 23rd. The still
waters are waiting to flow in your life if you
let Christ rule in your hearts.
~In our daily walk with Christ, we have to
guard what we watch on TV and what type
of conversations we entertain.
The devil will try every trick he knows to
corrupt that which God has given us...The
Word of God says evil communications
corrupt good manners.
Whatever we let rule our spirit controls our
destiny.

Page | 60

Just wanted to encourage you all today, to


be watchful as well as prayerful that we
don't walk, speak, look or carry ourselves as
the world.
For we're in this world, but not of it! I John
4:4-6, I Corinthians 15:33
~God will provide you with all your needs,
when you put the Kingdom of God first.
Seek His Word, Face and all the things
above, such as Love, Peace, Patience, Long
suffering.
And all other things will be added according
to the Will of God in your life! God has to
be first in all things.
Give God the first fruits in all you do.
Matthews 6:33
~God loves us so much, that Hes willing to
give us a chance to come to Him for all
things. Grace and Mercy is always watching
over us, least we fall into the hands of that
wicked one.
Let us be mindful that we do not exist on our
own. God is so merciful that Hes allowing
us yet another day to get our lives right with
Him.
Page | 61

Whosoever will may come. And whosoever


will, let him take the water of life freely.
Revelation 22:17
~ The praises of God is constantly flowing
through our spirit. David said, I will bless
the Lord at all times. His praises shall
continually be in my mouth. For
everything we do, the Spirit is always multitasking with us. When we walk, speak,
chewing gum, if you listen carefully, your
spirit is praising the Lord!
All we have to do is yield to Him. We can
go about our daily lives giving thanks to the
Almighty who have already made
intercession for us through the blood that
was shed on the cross.
Lets continue to give thanks for His Grace
that is extended to us this day. Psalms 34:1
~ We're in spiritual warfare. Our weapons
are not carnal but mighty through God. We
can pull down vain imaginations,
strongholds, high things that exhort itself
against the knowledge of God.
Page | 62

So if thoughts come that's not about the


Love of God, not about Joy, Peace, long
suffering and other things about the
Kingdom of God, God gave us the power
through His grace to pull them down.
Death has NO DOMINION OVER US....In
the Name of Jesus II Corinthians. 10:3-6
~ God says there is power in your tongue. A
great part of our faith is speaking life into
our existence. If we say, we have anything,
we have it! Our words have power.
Regardless of how many people pray for us,
it will help and they can stand in the gap for
us, but God wishes for us to ultimately have
full trust in His Word. For example - If you
say you're sick, or you're broke and ask for
prayer, God doesn't move until you believe
what you're asking for and speak it in your
life.
The more we speak life, the more powerful
we will become in Christ Jesus. Proverbs
18:21
~ God places different kinds of people in our
lives for us to see our growth, downfalls and
short comings. The ones that make us laugh

Page | 63

the ones who get on our nerves, the ones we


love so much!
If everyone compliments us all the time, we
might not see where we need God and His
Grace. Today, thank God for all things. For
they all work together for good to them that
Love the Lord and are called according to
His purpose. Romans 8:28

THOUGHTS TO THINK

A Good Read

THOUGHTS TO THINK ABOUT


A Good Read
~ God wants us to trust Him fully and not to
depend on our own understanding. God
takes care of those who do, and guides them
into all righteousness. When situations
arise, are we waiting on God to give us
direction, hope and answers?
We must come to the place that we depend
on God for everything.
Just like a newborn or a child, they dont
know where their resources come from, but
they trust their parents will provide for them.
How much more will our Heavenly Father
give to all those that trust Him.
Think About It! Proverbs 3:5-6, Nahum 1:7,
Romans 15:13, Hebrews 2:13

~ Praises unto the Lord will keep you in His


presence, remembrance of the Great things
God has done and is doing now.
Page | 66

We praise God for whom He is, what He has


done and will do in the future
God is great all by Himself. He is who He
is, and theres none like Him.
God inhabits the praises of His people.
(Psalm 22:3) In the book of Psalms 145,
146, 147, 148, 149, and 150, David spells
out just how to praise God
Everything in the Heavens, On the Earth, In
the Earth, In the Sea, the Sun, The Moon,
Trees, the Winds and the Stars Praise the
Lord.
How much more can we, having knowledge
of how good God is and has been to us!
Praise Ye the LordPraising God bring you
into a freedom that regardless of what
youre going through, youll come out
victorious. Praises keep your spiritual mind
on God. Not on the issue, situation, or
problem.
Praises always gives God thanksgiving that
we can do all things through Christ that
strengthen us. Colossians 3:17
Page | 67

So today, lets lift up the name of Jesus, for


He is worthy to be praised.
~ God has given each of us a tool called
Humility? Humility is a state of being lowly
in Heart and lowly in mind.
It will cause us to ask for forgiveness when
we walk in our flesh, outside the will of God
and ask God or our brethren to forgive us
when we ought against them.
Being humble is a form of submission. It
needs no validation from men
I Peter 5:6 says, humble yourself under the
mighty hand of God that He may exalt you
in due time. God constantly gives grace to
those who are humble.
Being humble, let you see a need of God in
your life. You willingly submit to Gods
perfect will. Being humble keeps pride and
arrogance from stepping in.
Most of all, being humble is a child-like
spirit.
Were all suppose to have it.
Page | 68

James 4:6, 6:1, I Peter 5:5, James 4:10


~ God has given each of us a gift(s) or
talent(s)? He gave some preachers, teachers,
helpers, exhorters, etc. Are you operating in
the gift(s) or talent(s) that God has given?
These gifts will not only build up the
Kingdom of God, but in Proverbs 18:16, it
says it will make room for you! God is
looking for us to multiply what He has given
each of us. In Matthews 25:14-30 speaks
about the 3 men with the talents.
This is a great example of how God wants to
bless us with the talents He has given.
If we dont seek God for guidance, wisdom
and knowledge of how to increase them,
they will surely be taken away. We, as
Royal heirs of Gods Kingdom, should
never be without.
Today, lets ask God what is our purpose in
life? What is our destiny?
Matthews 25:14-30, Ephesians 4, Romans
12:6-8, Proverbs 18:16, I Corinthians 12:4, I
Corinthians 14:1
Page | 69

~ God has given us His Word as a guideline


for everything in our lives? His Word is like
a mirror to us, a lamp unto our feet and a
light unto our paths. Psalm 119:105.
His Word has hidden treasures that are only
revealed to those that seek Him. When we
dwell in His secret place, God will open up
those mysteries so that we can be covered
under the shadow of the Most High. Psalm
91:1
Everything we need is in His Word. But we
have to do somethingSeek Him, Trust
Him, Believe in Him and Honor Him. For
God is our refuge from all the storms in our
lives. Its all by His grace, nothing that
weve done, lest any man should boast!
So today Lets put on the Whole Amour of
God that we may be able to stand against the
evil that comes against us! Ephesians 6:1118
~ God gives us the tools to keep our hearts
prepared? Humility, Imagination and
memory

Page | 70

When our hearts are prepared, we wont fall


away from Gods goodness. Prepared mean
Fixed, Established, Applied, or
Committed.
When Davids men tried to get David to kill
Saul for the throne, He said, My heart is
Fixed, Oh Lord, My heart is fixed. Psalm
57:7.
David had prepared his heart to serve
GodFixed means, firmly set in
position or not subject to change. We
cant do this on our ownWe need humility
going before God. Humility keeps us from
pride. And pride comes before a fall.
Proverbs 16:18-19.
Imagination & memory keeps in our minds
what God has done for us. If these 3 things
are not working to prepare our hearts, then
the devil has a way to come in and deter us
from serving the Lord.
Think about it? When you see someone fall
from grace, it didnt happen overnight.
They stopped preparing their hearts.
Page | 71

I Chronicles 29:18, I Chronicles 29:6-7,


Psalm 10:17

~ When God saved us, we were bound to


our brethren in unity?
One body, one love, one salvation
Throughout the N.T. it speaks of an oneness
in the body of Christ. When the unity is
there, God shows up in the mist and signs
and wonders will follow. Psalm 133:1-2.
Unity starts from the Head (the Sheppard)
and flows down through the body
Everyone is given a gift, but were all one
body, many members, but one body. We
have not the same office, but bound together
by Gods love.
The unity is suppose to be there so, we know
what our brother or sister needs.
From that unconditional love, comes all the
fruit of Gods spirit.
Today, let us strive to be one body in unity.

Page | 72

Roman 12, I Corinthians 10:17, Acts 2:1-2,


John 17:23, Philippians 1:27

~ God is a Right Now GodWe come to


God and give our hearts to Him through
faith.
By faith, we believe God for our healings,
victories and everything else that we ask
Him for.
By faith, we praise God and wait for Him to
manifest it in our lives.
By faith, we receive the Word of God in our
hearts. Faith is the action leading to what
we ask God for. This is a Faith walk.
Without it, its impossible to please God.
In Hebrews chapter 11, will give you a
better understanding of how to believe.
So today, whatever you are asking God for,
believe that youve already received it and
walk in it by faith.
~ God gives us a choice to sow good or bad?
Page | 73

We need to be mindful of how and what we


sow to others.
God will repay everyone for what theyve
done! We have a choice to sow good seeds,
such as love, kindness, grace,
encouragement. And God will allow us to
reap greater than the first. But when we
sow, hatred, animosity, strife and things of
that nature, the Word of God tells us, that
latter stage is also great than the first..
The enemy comes as a wolf in sheeps
clothing. As God opens up the Word to us,
well be able to discern that which is of God
and the devil.
Today, lets all be watchful as well as
prayerful that we dont be deceived by that
wicked one.
Proverbs 16:28, 22:8, Galatians 6:7, Psalm
126:5-6, Is 32:20, Galatians 6:9
~ God has a great love for Man?
The Word of God says by one man, sin
entered into the world. And by one Man
(Jesus) all was made alive. I Corinthians
Page | 74

15:21-22. God loves us so, it is


immeasurable. It surpasses all
understanding. Gods love for us is only
seen by the world when we love each other.
Everything we do has to have the root of
Gods love or its done in vain.
His love casts out fear, gives us boldness,
causes us to uplift our brethren, and causes
the fruit of the spirit to flourish.
Gods love is the only thing that will last
everlasting, throughout eternity. Gods love
will cause you to seek the Will of God in
your life.
Are we operating the fullness of Gods love?
I John 4:8-16, I Corinthians 13:3, 8, I
Corinthians 15:21-22
~ God loves our thanksgiving and Praises.
Today, I encourage you all to take time out
and give Thanks & Praises to the Almighty
God
Look around you and see the handiwork of
God! He creates the Heavens, & Earth, the
sea and all thats in them. Praise Him for
Page | 75

His Marvelous acts, the natural wonders,


and the animals, the winds, the seasons, the
days and nights.
Yes! Everything we see, hear, think, feel &
taste, all comes from God!
If thats not enough, look at ourselvesThe
way each of us look, walk, speak, and act is
all of Gods creation.
Were all unique and different from each
other. Look at Gods imagination.
Bless Be the Name of God. He always
causes us to triumph in His Name.
Peace and Blessings to all
II Corinthians. 7:14, Psalm 104, Psalm 22:3
~ God is the author and finisher of our faith.
He knows exactly how and what were
going to act on.
He knows what were going to say before
we speak. He knows the very intent of our
hearts where sometimes we fear that others
would see.
Page | 76

The Word of God says our substance was


not hid when we were made in secret.
He saw that we were not perfect and in His
book, all our members were written.
God chose us even before we were placed in
our mothers womb.
God is the profound being in our lives.
Were not indifferent. Were unique!
Fearfully and wonderfully made my Him.
He chose us.Thank you Father. Psalms
139
~ God is right there waiting for us to come
to Him and cast all our cares on Him?
He cares about everything that concerns us!
We can make an alter in our minds where
ever we are.
Tell Jesus all about it. God can do the
impossible, the unthinkable, and the
unimaginable.
Give it all to God and watch Him show up
and manifest Himself to us.
Page | 77

In Micah 7:18-19, tells you what God will


do when you come to Him with your issues,
sins, faults, and iniquities.
Today, my brethren, I just want to
encourage you to give it to God. Hes the
ONLY one who can cleanse you from
everything thats not like HIM and create in
you a renewed heart and mind. The
righteousness of Christ.....Glory to God.....
Isaiah 1:18-20

~ Once weve accepted Christ in our lives,


God placed us in a spiritual realm in the
Kingdom of God.
Were in this world, but not of it! So when
the devil attacks us, its not our spirit he
attacks, but its of a fleshly nature
The devil is not a spiritual being hes the
ruler of this earth. That was over when he
got kicked out of heaven for rising up
against God.

Page | 78

He doesnt know what God speaks to us


unless we confess it from our
mouthsWhen we claim dominion over sin,
and speak We are the Righteousness of
God, that elevates us above everything on
this earth.
When we accepted Christ, old things were
passed away and we became new creatures
in Christ Jesus. The Word of God says in
Ephesians 4:6, One God, & Father of all,
whos is above all & through all and in you
all.
So if God is above all and Hes in us that
brings
us above everything thats not like Christ,
which is the devil..
As we adorn ourselves with the Word of
God, by His Grace, we can be victors in this
World
II Corinthians 5:17, I John 2:14-17
~ When we were born again into the
kingdom of God; the same power that raised
Jesus from the grave was instilled in us!
Page | 79

The same strength that Jesus had to use to


overcome everything that He went through
is also in us.
All the fruit of the spirit Love, Joy, Peace,
Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, and
Longsuffering was placed there when we
gave our hearts to Christ
So why ask God for more of these things
when theyre already there? God has given
us everything we need through His Son
Jesus to fulfill our destiny in Him.
Think about it? If these things are already
there, why not ask God to show us how to
tap into it? We need to learn how to release
the power that He has already placed there
from the beginning. As I was listening to the
Word of God, they gave the analogy about
the Water supply Faucet. The utility
company has already provided the
sourceAll we need to do is learn how to
turn on the faucet
Some Christians get drops and dripsBut
why not tap into the fullness of Gods
PowerMost of the times, its very easy to
Page | 80

believe for someone elses healings and


deliverances. But what about us?
Every pain, every sickness, every disease,
every mountain, and every obstacle have all
been overcome by the Blood of Jesus
Christ That same resurrected power that
Jesus had is in us
Lets learn to tap into it! Release the power
and stomp on the devils head! When Jesus
rose from the dead, so did we from our sins
when we believed on Him by grace through
faithAMEN
Ephesians 2:4-6, 3:19, Colossians 1:19, 2:914
~ God has given each of us gifts of the
spirit. Some more than others. They are
given to edify the body of Christ to show
signs and wonders. God will also use those
gifts to bring in the unsaved
We are all part of the BodyQuestion
Whats holding us up from letting those gifts
manifest in our presence? God is waiting on
us to let Him bring those gifting to the
forefront
Page | 81

Is it Fear??? Are you afraid of what man


may think? Fear is of the devilGods
perfect love cast our all forms of fearAs
we move forward; we need to examine our
hearts and minds.
Ask God to give us boldness in the last days
and time. You never know what or who
God can use, deliver, increase or save with
the gifting that Hes place inside of you
The more we give ourselves to fasting,
prayer and studying the Word of God, the
more we hear the Word, the more our faith
is increased, the more we can see our need
of God to know, its not our gifts for us or
not by our strength or might
Its all done by Gods grace, His Love, and
His power
So today, asks God to give us boldness to
walk in and to let Him use us for building up
His kingdomAMEN?....Amen
Acts 10:4, I Corinthians 12, Ephesians 4:8, I
John 4:18, Acts 4:29-31

~ Hes waiting for you to come to Him. His


hands are not too short that He cant touch
you. Neither are they short that He cant fix
your problems.
So you go to church.Thats great! But
thats not a relationship with the Father
You have to see that you need Him in your
lives. You have to ask Him to forgive you
of all your sins.
And ask Him to come in your heart and be
your personal Lord and Savior.
God loves us so much that He gave the one
thing that He loves so dearHIS SON
JESUS.
Jesus came in the manner of a fleshly man.
Bore every disease, sickness, every issue,
problem, every burden known to man. Just
for you and me. The Word of God says, by
one man, sin entered into this world, And by
another man, we received life.
Jesus said come unto me all you that labor
and are heavy burdenedAnd He will give
you rest. Are you tired? Tired of carrying it
alone? You dont have to.
Page | 83

Jesus paid the price over 2,000 years ago


just for you and me...
All you have to do is say,
Jesus, Im a sinner and Im tired of living
this way. Please forgive me of all my sins.
Come into my heart and be my personal
Savior. Im ready to live my life for you
Once thats done, find a full Gospel church
and attend so that you can be taught the
Word of God.
Matthews 11:28-30, Philippians 2:7-11,
Isaiah 59:1-3, Isaiah 50:2
~ God has given us a mechanism thats call
discernmentAs we are watchful and
prayerful, we can try the spirit by the spirit
by the Word to see if its of GodThe devil
will come through people, things and
situations to steal, kill and destroy the things
God has placed in our hearts
Its up to us not to have any spiritual
leaksDont lose your focus, be prayerful,
be watchful, listen and flee

Page | 84

The devils only tool is deception to deter us


from what God is building up in the lives of
His people. Find a sister or brother and be
transparent with them. One who you know
is full of wisdom and knowledge. They will
not judge you, but love you, encourage you
in the things of God.
The devil always wants to tell you the lie
that no one cares, they will pick at me,
they dont understand. The devil is a liar
from the pit of hellHes already
condemned and permanently defeated by the
power of God.
God has placed many members in the body
of Christ. Some have the gifts of
encouragement and discernment.
Is it worth loosing what God has given you?
We have to fight to keep whats in our life.
We have no choiceGod has placed the
victory already in our heartsAll we have
to do is believe it and walk in it.
So today, take a stand. God has made us a
peculiar people, a royal priesthood, a holy
nation. Were different from this world. If
Page | 85

we choose not to fight, the devil will defeat


usAnd God didnt give us His life to lose
it.

~ We have a spiritual gas station that we can
fill up every day and tap into the goodness
of God
Every day we run this race there is virtue
that leaves our spiritual man and touches
those that are in need.
Whether you realizes it or not, the great
works that Jesus done, were performing
greater works, So we have to fill our tanks
daily, filling up with the fruit of the spirit so
that we can be equipped to give what thus
says the Lord.
If our tanks are not full, what can we give?
Our vessels are shinning when the oil is
overflowing and running over. We have to
believe like the 5 wise virgins who had their
lamps filled with oil that went into the
wedding feast. They renewed daily.
Page | 86

Lets not be like those 5 virgins who were


foolish, not watching, praying nor seeking
Gods face. Their oil ran out and they were
not able to go into the wedding feast because
they were not properly clothed with the
righteousness of God.
So today, think about it! Are your tanks full
or are you running on empty?
Matthews 25:1-13, Is 40:31, Philippians
1:11, Romans 15:14
~ Who knows the mind of Christ? No one
does unless we seek Him for understanding.
His thoughts are far away from our thoughts.
Its impossible to understand why He does
what He does and to know His way.
Who can know or who is just to give Him
advice? As we seek Him, Hell open up His
will for us in our lives. We always have to
ask for understanding in all things.
So youre going through a rough timeThe
Word of God says, All things work
together for good to them that love the Lord
and are called according to His purpose If
this is the case, we need to start seeing and
Page | 87

pulling the good that will come out of the


situationThere is a lesson to be learned.
Some knowledge, wisdom, growing, dying
out from our flesh. In all things we need to
give thanks for Gods protection.
We need to be connected with the body of
Christ. What does this mean? Come to the
House of Worship and hear what thus says
the LordFellowship with our Sisters and
Brothers. The members of the body cant
survive without the source. In other words,
the foot cant survive without the leg, the
hand cant survive without the arm, and the
head cant survive without the neck. We all
are here for a reason, to build up the body of
Christ and to reach the lost.
I need all of the body of Christ. Until we all
come to that place, we think we can go this
on our own. That is a lie from the pit of
hell..
The devil wants us to be separate from the
body so that he can consume us to
damnation. But those that love the Lord will
try and do everything within their means to
uplift their brethren.
Page | 88

God has everything we need to finish this


race unto eternity. No one has to be lost.
Are you willing to go the distance for God?
Think about it.

John 5:20, Philippians 2:5, Is 55:8-9
~ God sees us through the eyes of His son
JesusAll of our hope, faith, love and joy
comes from the LordHe has given us the
strength to bring life, joy and peace to
others. Not by any good works that weve
done. Its all by the Grace of God.
Oh what a blessing to love in a life of
peaceful surroundings. Not only that, He
loves usWere made in His image,
fearfully and wonderfully created
Look at the Imagination of God. Think
about that .He loves us
Far greater than our parents, family or
friends..
Being around true Christians, we feel that
same love of the FatherWe have that love
Page | 89

in the natural when they reach out and love


on us
We get just a taste of how heavens going to
be..Gods Holy Spirit is constantly
beckoning us to continually seek His face to
get refilled with all the tool from the
heavenly tools chest that keeps us fixed
with the things of GodWe have the
Breastplate of righteousness, the sword of
the spirit, our feet clothed with the
preparation of the gospel of peace, the
helmet of salvation etc. Were new
creatures being renewed daily
Everything about us is in the image of God.
Hes even imparted in us choices to will or
not..God never makes us serve HimHe
gives us a choice His Way which leads
us to life everlasting or Our Way which
leads us to death and destruction. We can
decide to serve God. Hell never close the
door on us.
The old man is DEAD from the things of
this world.

You have to know that God is in your heart


and mind.
I encourage you all to find GodHes
waiting for you.
Hes a God of Love and Peace and wants us
to experience Him in a greater way
unimaginable.
~ God does everything in His timeA time
to build up and a time to break down. A
time to Sow and a time to reapA time to
be born and a time to dieEverything that
we see, hear and do is on Gods time.
So you just gave your heart to
ChristYoure excited about your new
found freedomYou want to go out and tell
everyone that youre born-againThis is
Great! God wants us all to tell of His
goodnessBut did you know you have to
first be prepared?
Take for example a teacher or an
EngineerThey both have a passion for
what they doBut its a process they have
to be taught the fundamentals of their
giftsGoing to school, maybe interning in
Page | 91

their field. Then they launch out on their


own.
The same with God. We all come to Christ.
We have to be taught the Word of God from
the Preachers, Pastors and Teachers. We
have to put on the whole armor of God.
Then were prepared to stomp on the devils
headAMEN!
Now God is not saying that once you get
born again you cant tell about what the
Lord has done for you! What Im
encouraging you is to wait on Gods season.
Sometimes, we may feel like were ready,
but it may not be the right time to launch
out.
Thats why God has placed Sheppards over
the flockWhen Hes ready for you to
launch out in the deep; Hell also reveal it to
the leaders.
God is doing great things in the lives of all
His people. And all that He sends us to do,
Hes looking for us to be victorious in that
He gives us.

~ Every soul that is birthed into this earth,


everything that comes in our lives, every
person that surrounds us throughout our
yearsDid you know that God has already
predestined it? We are His creation, for His
good pleasure.
We are a product of Gods imagination
We were created to Praise and Worship the
One and Only, True and Living God!
Hes the only one who can give life. He can
deliver you, He gives ultimate Joy, Love and
PeaceHe surpasses all mens
understanding.
He is the preserver, the keeper, and the
strength giver!
God has set all these things in place for us to
His glory! His knowledge is so wonderful,
we cannot attain it

Page | 93

Did you know, He knows you by name?


Even the hairs on your head are numbered
and so are the grays that come out from
that?
There is no where we can hide from God.
David said that if he takes wings and fly up
to the heavens, He is thereIf he goes to the
depths of the earth, He is there.
God is everywhere at all times, with all
people, throughout the ends of the earth.
The Word of God says who knows the mind
of God. Who is able to be His council?
With all the knowledge the most intelligent
men have, they still cant comprehend the
thoughts of God.
Today, I want to encourage you all, there is
no where you can hide from GodHe
already knows where you are

As we speak them to others, were giving


them hope and the life in which we liveAs
we are encouraged, we can give the
sameAs we are hopeful, we can give that
as well.
All the things the Spirit of God imparts in
us, we can be a blessing to those around us,
near and abroad and God blesses us back.
We have to be ever so careful in what we
speak! The power of life and death is in our
tongue
I heard in the Word of God, being preached,
were all spiritual farmersSowing
(planting) seeds, letting them fall in the
ground to bring forth a harvest
Think about it! What are you going to do
with what God has given you? Are you
going to take a step and think outside the
box to bless others and build up the kingdom
of God? Or are you one of those people
who speak death by gossiping, hearsay and
being a busy body in other mens matters.
These are tools of the devil to try and tear
down and bring division among Gods
people.
Page | 95

Today, lets be watchful and prayerful so


seeds of death flow not from our vessels.
Lets smile more, speak more of the things
of God and His goodness. Tapping into
more of what God has in store
I truly hope these words have been an
encouragement to your hearts and souls. In
Jesus name!
Proverbs 18:21, John 7:38, Galatians 6:7, I
Tim 5:13, I Peter 4:15
~ This mind of Christ will help us to do
everything like Jesus did when He walked in
the flesh?
The Word of God says Let this mind be in
you which was also in Christ JesusHe
said LetThat means we have to allow it
to beJesus will not make us. But the mind
of Christ will make us yearn to be clothed
with the righteousness of God.
Paul said we are of the circumcision which
worship God in the Spirit and rejoice and
have no confidence in the fleshThe
circumcision is the veil of sin that was
peeled away from our lives. We couldnt
worship and rejoice being in sin!
Page | 96

We have to put aside, lie down, and cast


away the former lust of our flesh to be in the
presence of God. No sin can stand before
Him.
Once we come to count all things as a loss,
we will come to know Christ in the power of
His resurrection and the fellowship of His
suffering. With every trail, were dying out
from our flesh. As we die out we know
Jesus in the fellowship of His suffering.
There is nothing we face Jesus has not
already experienced.
Can you imagine? All the people on this
earth and all they went through? The Word
of God said Jesus suffered all things for all
people. Yet! He opened not His mouth
How much more, the little things we suffer
and go through, we should not complain.
But rejoice, knowing were in the fellowship
of Jesus suffering.
Philippians 3:3, 3:8-10, Isaiah 53:7, I
Corinthians 1:10
~ Have you really thought about whats
speaking in your ear? You dont do this or
that, Youll never amount to anything,
and youre just like your Mom or Dad!
Page | 97

These are all forms of condemnationThey


come from the devil through people, friends,
family or even thoughts in your mind.
God freed us from all forms of them.
Condemnation is sinDid not God set us
free through His Son Jesus blood? Were
free to praise and worship Him. Free to
love, to get as much peace as we need. We
have true liberty in Christ.
His grace has set us free from the law of sin
and death.
Condemnation beats you down with
negativity..The Spirit of God builds you up
with the positive things of Christ.
Who the Son set free is free indeed!
So you say, you cant help it.
The devil is a liar and the truth is not in
him
The Spirit of Christ never condemns us.
This is not how believers live. As long as
we let condemnation rule, we cant receive
the things of God.
Page | 98

Rebuke them. Regardless of whom they


come from and through.
Dont accept them. Seek after the freedom
that Christ has made us free in.
Condemnation insults our identity and
character.
The Spirit of God convicts us of what weve
done, shows us how to get rid of it and
replaces it with some of His goodness.
So today, remember, if our heart condemns
us, we have no confidence towards God!
Stand free in the liberty where Christ has set
us free. Be not entangled again with the
yoke of bondage.
Romans 8:1-4, Galatians 5:1, I John 3:30-21
~ It is a promise of God to be an overcomer.
Lets look at a baby
When a baby is born, he/she drinks milk,
poop its pants, and throw up, cry, cry and
more crying
Sometimes, their parents are really frustrated
with all of the details they have to pay
attention to.
Page | 99

But when that child starts eating, weaned


from the milk, starts to use the potty, starts
to walk, that parent starts to be more proud
of them.
When the child starts to run, there is joy
coming from them because theyre using
something that they learned and their
overcome to hear that parent coach them on.
This is the same with our LordWhen we
give our lives to Christ, were babes in
Him. Were drinking the milk of the Word
of GodWe may fumble through our walk
with Him, not knowing what or how we
need to be, act, or speak. But when we start
to grow, we start to eat the meat of the
Word.
Our trails start to get greater, we start to
overcome more, we learn how to walk,
speak, what to do. Then we start to run in
the Lord. The Joy is overflowing us to see
what we failed in, now were sailing
through.
Im not saying everything will be easy, but
we have a mechanism that gives us strength
through all things.
Were growing in the Lord. God is the
center of our lives. We surround our hearts
Page | 100

with the Word. Were praising Him


throughout our day. Were fellowshipping
more with our brethren. Were studying the
Word more because this is our weapon
against everything thats not like Christ.
Then theres the VICTORY
Oh how sweet it is, to dwell together in
peace with Him. So today, think about it!
How is your walk with Christ? Are you
now eating the meat of the Word? Are your
trails getting greater and youre praising
God more? Are you standing on the
promises of God?
The Word of God says Hell never leave us
nor forsake us So if God have given us all
of His Word, Promises and Hes always
with us, then there should be Victory after
Victory. And if this is not the case, speak it
into your existence I have the Victory, In
the name of Jesus. Find the scripture that
pertains to that situation and speak them
aloud and meditate on them throughout the
day. The power of life and death is in your
tongue. Amen! AMEN! John 16:33, I
Corinthians 15:56, Romans 8:31-39
~ The Word of God has given us everything
we need to be victorious in every battle we
faceEvery Trial, Every

SituationEVERYTHING Just like a


natural solider. They go to train at boot
camps from 6-8 weeks, learning how to
adapt to the military lifestyle. They have
certain attire; theyre prone with a certain
mentality of war.
They stand at attention when the superiors
walk by.
Even more so in the Army of the Lord. We
too, have a certain attire to bear. The
breastplate of righteousness, the helmet of
salvation, the sword of the spirit, the gospel
of peace, which our feet are covered with.
In the natural, that solider may lose some of
its battles. But in this army, we are victors.
Even when it seems like weve lost. Were
on the winning side.
Always keeping in mind, this is not a natural
warfare. Were fighting for our lives,
wrestling against spirits and principalities,
ruler of darkness, spiritual wickedness in
high places. And you know what? We can
overcome. We can defeat the devil. God has

Page | 102

given us what it takes through His Son


Jesus
There is a saying The thrill of victory, and
the agony of defeat. The devil was, is and
always will be permanently defeated.
So today, my brethren, we can all walk in
the victory of Gods Word. So be strong in
the Lord and in the Power of His might.
Hes taking us from Glory to Glory!
Halleluiah!

~ Do you know that in this life, everything is
fast paced, Hurry, Hurry, Hurry! Get this
done, talk to this person, clean this, do that.
But God is telling us to take a minute and
stopPut Him first in everything we say
and do.
The peace of God must rule in our lives.
When people come against us, the peace of
God can flood our minds and we can be at
peace with all men its possible!
Page | 103

When situations arise, the peace of God is in


our Hearts. We dont have to be in a panic
about anything. Give it to God. Were
supposed to be in so much peace that the
world should see us calm in all things and
we can smile through it all.
Look at the peace of God ruling in our
livesWe all can have as much as we
needThere is no respect of persons with
God. When the tranquility of peace shines
through, God is manifesting His light
through our lives for the world to see.
Were magnificent beings through the eyes
of God. Youre telling me that through it
all, I can be calm??? YESThrough Christ
we can do all things that strengthen us.
Today, I dont know about you, but I need
more Peace in my life.AMEN

~ We go to church and hear all of the Good


News from the PreachersWe shout, praise
GodAMEN! But just how much of the
Word do we actually apply to our lives???
Yes! Faith comes by hearing the Word of
the LordBut are we walking in the things
that we hear? When we praise God from
our hearts, God inhabits those praises of His
peopleBut the highest form of worship we
can give is doing what thus says the Lord.
What good is all that Word if we never do
what it says? No one can benefit from what
youre setting onNot even you! Do you
want to really please God? Then get up and
do what Gods Word says and see the
manifestation come to life.
Feed the poor, clothes the naked, visit the
lonely, honor your parents, obey all rulers
that are placed over you, share a
smileWhen we do these things, did you
know you may be entertaining an angel
unaware?
The more we do, the more our lights will
shine in this dark world of sin.

Everything on this earth is waiting for the


manifestation of Christ in the lives of His
people.
So today, thing about it! Are you a doer of
Gods Word or just a hearer?

~ God is right there waiting for us to come
to Him and cast all our cares on Him?
He cares about everything that concerns us!
We can make an alter in our minds where
ever we are.
Tell Jesus all about it. God can do the
impossible, the unthinkable, and the
unimaginable.
Give it all to God and watch Him show up
and manifest himself to us.
In Micah 7:18-19, tells you what God will
do when you come to Him with your issues,
sins, faults, and iniquities.

everything thats not like HIM and create in
you a renewed heart and mind. The

My Testimony

Page | 109

Chapter 1
The Start
As far back as I can remember I was a
thinker. Most of the children who knew me
then would tell me now how they watched
me when we played in the streets, how I
would stop and go into a stage of staring. I
didnt know what was happening then, but I
know now. God was dealing with my heart
from such an early age. Through my
childhood most of what I could remember
what how most people who I came in
contact with hated on me. I didnt know this
was paving the way for my salvation. With
all that was going on, I find myself not
hating back but loving others and still did
Page | 110

not understand why. I have vivid memories


of my childhood, what I wore, things I said,
music I listened to and who I was with while
the music played. Some people cant think
back past their elementary years, but me? I
have a great database. Like most AfricanAmerican families, we went to church.
Even it my parents didnt, they made us. I
sung in the choir and for a moment, served
on the usher board. My church was
boarding. I didnt understand why I had to
go and what was the meaning of going and
hearing the Word of God. At sixteen years
old, I was sitting in the church; I remember
exactly how it was laid out. The walls were
dark paneled half way down and the top side
Page | 111

was white. There were two doors, one on


either side of the pulpit leading to the
annex. Over both doors there were
speakers. I never heard any sound come
from out of them. But one Sunday, I had a
visionI saw a pair of huge hands above
one of the speakers and a voice saying
Come unto meWas I loosing it? That
vision haunted me for the next seven years.
From there, I finished high school and went
to finish Electronics College. Before I
graduated my last year, I got a job offer to
move to Miami. As you guessed, I took it.
Im thinking in my mind, Im Free?
Whoo-Hoo, Oh Yeah! Little did I know, my
troubles was about to begin. At the age of
Page | 112

19, I began my single life in the big city.


(Well, bigger than where I came from). I
would think, this is where my life would
come together. You see, all I wanted was
for someone to love me for the person who I
was. I was very naive and green behind the
ears. But you couldnt tell me that. I was on
a search, following my heart. I didnt know
how to express what I was going to with
anyone. But God knew my heart. I was
about to find out. I spent most of my
weekends at the club. I was what you called
a club-hopper. When one club closed, wed
find another that was opened. Back in the
70s, there was little danger, not like it is
now. We could party until the cows come
Page | 113

home, get up the next morning, go to


church, work, or just hang out the whole of
the next day. Within three years of me being
in Miami, my life began to change
drastically. Being at the clubs became to be
bored and I started showing up with anyone
who I met. There was a guy at the club who
thought I was his girl. (I believe every club
has one). That night I showed up with
another guy, he went mad. He pulled out a
gun and commenced to shooting in the air.
This was not the life I signed up to live. But
little did I know, God had His hands on me.
I ducked under the table and began to pray.
I want to take the time out right now and let
all you parents know, what you teach your
Page | 114

children at the primary years will NOT leave


them. They will resort back to the teachings
of God if a situation presents itself. I prayed
and asked God if He spared my life I would
go to another club. Well, God did spare my
life. I didnt go to another club, for a while.
About 7 years after that situation. You may
be thinking, what happened? I was very
heavy into music, everything from classic
rock to jazz to r&b to a little classical. So
now my life ended up in music stores.
Thats where I met this producer from a
well-known record label. No doubt, I can
singI sung at the church I grew up in, I
sung at a few weddings. This Sista thought
she had it going on. This producer heard my
Page | 115

voice and set up a recording demo for me.


Little did I know, this was not the route God
had for menthe same week I had the
appointment, was the same week I gave my
heart to God. It didnt happen just like that.
There was this lady who was hired within
my department at work. She was different
than anyone I knew. Her clothes were
different, she talked different, and she even
wore her hair different. I had a field day
picking on her with the guys in my
department. After all the picking, she was
still nice to me. I never seen her mad or
upset. She was unique. This lady would
show up when I least expected. In the
bathrooms, at the water cooler and
Page | 116

everywhere I turned, she was there. My


God, did she have supernatural senses? I
didnt know back then, but I know now.
Thank God for her. It was her consistency
why God drew me into the Kingdom. She
looked past all the craziness I done and saw
the greatness God had in store for me. If I
knew where she was I would truly thank her.
I was having a lot of men issues. I was too
trusting of the wrong type of people. My
heart was so open and for some reason, men
were drawn to that. I was like radar. But in
those moments my heart was broken, there
she was showing love and kindness to me.
Sometimes, I felt I didnt deserve it. But
God knew my heart. I finally gave up
Page | 117

fighting against her and decided to attend


her church. Now, dont get me wrong, we
can do nothing of ourselves. It was God
who drew me to Him and gave me the mind
to come to church. I was in for an awaking
within my soul. She didnt take NO for an
answer She asked if I can stay the night
at her house. My flesh wanted to say no, but
my inner man was looking for a change and
I didnt know what it was.

Page | 118

Chapter 2
My Change
That Sunday morning was peculiar and
strange. The drive over to the church was
about 30 minutes. Those minutes were long
but hidden. I didnt know what to expect.
Even coming from the car to the doors of the
church was a long haul. It seems like and
long road I traveled to get to where I needed
to be. All my life was flashing before me,
telling me to turn back; this wasnt the way
for me. I didnt know what or who was
speaking to me then, but now I know. It was
the sin in this world about to lose one of its
own to the Kingdom of God. God never lost
Page | 119

a battle. And the battle within me was about


to cease. The moment the doors open, the
love of God hit me in my chest like and ton
of bricks and the load I was carrying were
lifted like Ive never known. What a
freedom I felt. What magnitude of love that
engulfed my heart. Even if I wanted to
leave, I couldnt. That love was like nothing
Ive ever experienced. It was pure. It was
clean. It was different. It was unexplainable.
It was God showing me the love He had for
me from the foundations of this world.
Agape Love During the service, I lost
control of all my senses. It was like
someone or something lifted me up out of
my seat and washed me over the floor. Did I
Page | 120

care? The way I felt, I cared less. After that


experience, I was so humbled, I couldnt
speak. I remember like it was yesterday.
That was over 30 years ago. Will God give
any man/woman that same experience? He
is no respecter of persons. What He does for
one, Hell do for another. This was the
beginning of my life, as it should have
been. What God intended for me. I felt
wonderful, beautiful, loved by God and His
people. My heart was full. My joy had
overflowed. My burden was lifted and God
had set me free from the laws of sin and
death. If you never had a God experience,
try Him. If youre going through things in
life and dont have any answers or the
Page | 121

answers you have doesnt work. Try God!


At the end of the service, the Pastor asked if
I had anything I wish to say? Normally, in
any strange place, Im very quiet. But
before I could say no, something or someone
lifted me out of my seat and I begin to
confess the Lord Jesus Christ has saved my
life from sin. As I begin to look around, the
whole church started to rejoice and dance
and shout and praise God. What a glorious
feeling to experience.

Chapter 3
Im On My Way
This was it! This was what I was searching
for. My void was filled. I now had some
direction in life. This was the start of my
journey with God. My relationship with
Him! You see, Christianity is not about
going to church in a formality, but hearing
what the next move of God is. Its about
building, trust, loving, giving all you have to
the One who is the Creator of all things, in
all things, and has made all Things for His
good pleasure. Its about learning of His
way, understanding what His will is in my
life, grasping the knowledge and learning
Page | 123

how to apply it to my life so that I can gain


wisdom. One thing I wish to say, when you
give your heart to God, He makes you a new
creature from the inside out. Not only that,
this make you a candidate to have your mind
renewed daily with the Word of God, being
in His presence, Understanding life on a
different level. Not a natural one, but
through the eyes of God. In Him, we are
fearfully and wonderfully made. If only I
knew this at a younger age. God has an
appointed for each of us and none of us will
leave this earth without hearing the Good
News of the Gospel. (Thats for sure)Being
a New Convert, I felt so clean and my eyes
were clear. But no one told me I would
Page | 124

have a fight in my flesh. No one told me


that I would have battles from time to time.
No one told me I can do all things through
Christ which strengthens me. I learn these
things the hard way. I learn when someone
gives their life to Christ, yes, they are
changed, but just as a natural baby, they
have to grow and learn this way called
Christianity. Its called discipleship It I
only knew back then what I know now,
things might have been different. But we all
go through experiences in life that we in the
natural body can be an aid to others who
follow. This way is very exciting. Dreams
and Visions, Revelations, Deeper Depths,
Higher Heights God actually speaks to your
Page | 125

heart, things according to His Word. There


is also communication which is prayer. This
is how we build our relationship with Him.
Its funny how we can tell God everything
and He will tell no one. If Im angry, I call
tell God and He wont tell a soul. If my flesh
is aching, I can lay it at the foot at the altar.
And God will give me strength with all I
commit unto Him. If I feel a little sad, God
will fill me with the joy of my salvation. He
even has answers to every situation I have
faced, is facing now and will face in the
future. God is awesome

Chapter 4
My Relationship
I am 54 years old and have been single since
1991. Im not saying I had not dated
anyone, I have not been married. In my
younger years, I had a very bad judge of
character. I called wrong right and right
wrong and things were a mess. It truly took
God to fix all the issues in my life. We are
all works in progress. Yes, I have freedom
but not to do as I wish. I have the liberty to
do as I ought. This is a day to day journey.
But let it be stated for the recordThere are
two ways within ChristianityThe broad
and wide way and the straight and
Page | 127

narrowThe board and wide way is where


Christians think they can go to church on
Sundays, and the rest of the week, they can
follow the course of the world. With the
Straight and Narrow way, youll begin to
live, breathe, sleep, and eat the things of
God. Youll strip off everything which is
not like God and began to cloth yourself
with the Word. So much so, those who you
use to run with will see a change in your life
and begin to question you! Thats right!
Those old friends will begin to persecute
you for living right. God didnt promise us
an easy life; He promised us a life full of
love, joy and peace with answers, if we
choose to follow. This is what I love about
Page | 128

my life now. God has given me a free will


to choose His Perfect Will or My Permissive
Will. He would never make us choose or
even force us to live for Him. But if you
ever get a taste of Gods love, I mean really
get a taste; it will change your whole
outlook on life. You will learn to love those
who you know which hate you. You will
begin to prayer for those individuals who are
users and have used you in the past. You
will learn to forgive all those people who
have crossed you from one time or another.
I mean really forgive. The Word of God
says, if we dont forgive others, how can we
expect for God to forgive us? What seems
right to this natural world will become
Page | 129

foolishness to God and eventually to us as


well as we take on the ways of Christos how
beautiful it is to worship God in the beauty
of holiness. This is a day to day walk.

Chapter 5
He knows Our End & Beginning
If youre looking for change in your life,
really want a change, God knows those who
are going to be saved, He knows those who
are going to drop out of this race. He knows
our thoughts before they drop in our minds.
There is nothing hidden from Him But if
youre to the point where all ends are dead
and need to fill that void in your life, I just
gave you a small portion of what happened
to me. Jesus loves you so much and its
Gods will that none should perish but all
come to repentance. Just believe in your
heart, Jesus died on the cross to save you
Page | 131

from this miserable world of sin. He died so


you and I might have life more abundantly.
He rose for the remission of our sins. If you
ask God for forgiveness and believe Jesus
died for your sins, the Word of God says
anyone who called on the name of the Lord
shall be saved. If you believe, just confess
Jesus is your Lord and Savior. Ask God to
lead you to a full-gospel church who
believes in the Father, Son and the Holy
Spirit. Learn the ways of God. Ask God to
show you His way and He will hope this
book has been an inspiration to your heart.
God Bless and I hope you experience Gods
love the same as I have
