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!

30 Days of
Devotions
Page | 37
Day 1
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
Mark 9:22
Page | 38
Day 2
What a great feeling to wake up in the
presence of the Lord! Its good to know
God is coming back for those who have a
relationship with Him.
For as many as are lead by the Spirit of God,
they are the Sons of God If you dont
have a relationship with the Father, its not
too late.
Romans 8:1-17, John 3:16-19
Page | 39
Day 3
Did you know God is mindful of us? His
thoughts of us outnumber the sands
We are fearfully and wonderfully created.
He knows our every thought. Gods love is
immeasurable for us because He has no
end
He is the first and the last. The beginning
and the end The alpha and omega
When we begin to see how God loves us, it
will certainly change our lives.
Psalms 139
Page | 40
Day 4
Did you know the love God has placed in
you can lose bounds, deliver people out of
their miseries, and impart peace in the hearts
of men?
The love of God is so powerful its two-fold.
God in turn will also deliver you from the
hands of your enemies and show you
yourself some things you need to get right
with God.
This is what Gods grace will do.
1 Peter 4:8
Page | 41
Day 5
Did you know all the suffering we may
encounter, God already knows about it? It
comes to grow us into spiritual maturity
No temptation has overtaken you that is not
common to man.
God is faithful to give us a way of escape
that well be able to bear it
Be encouraged todayIf Jesus Christ
suffered, are we no better than Him?
1 Corinthians 10:13
Page | 42
Day 6
Being balanced in the Lord will cause you to
drop off those negative attributes of turmoil,
such as instability, fear, selfishness and
weakness alone with negative people.
A balanced life includes godly attributes
such as peace in the midst of the storms, a
grateful and compassionate heart, wisdom
and strength along with the fruit of Gods
Spirit.
Seek God to have a balanced life in Him.
1 Corinthians 6:12
Page | 43
Day 7
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
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
done on yesterday that didn't make the mark,
ask God to forgive you and keep it moving.
We can't change anything that happened.
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.
Dont let anyone tell you that youre light is
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

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

Page | 53
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

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?

will fall seven times and rise again. Get up
and get back in the race. Your race is not
finished yet

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.

No Other God Like Him

My Testimony

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

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

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

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

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
