The prophet Jeremiah was thrown into prison because he was falsely accused for being with the Chaldeans; even though they have been defeated they will rise again and defeat Judah. But Jeremiah was falsely accused and thrown into prison because of the words that God told him to prophecies to the people. And after many days the King sent for Jeremiah and he ask Jeremiah in secret, Is there any word for the Lord? He told the King, there is, yes there is a word from the Lord. The same word that they… Continue

Praise the Lord for all His wonderful blessing, God morning everyone, we give God the praise and the glory for another day’s journey.

Forgiveness is something that we all have to deal with, in the book of Genesis we read of the story of Joseph and his brothers and how out of jealousy they sold him into slavery in Egypt. And when they had to come to him to get food he could have turned them away, cast them into prison, any number of things because he had the power to do so. But instead, Joseph knew that everything he went through was in the will of God, they meant it for bad but God meant it for good. He was where God wanted hi… Continue

“But the Lord said unto Samuel, look not on his countenance, of on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.” Because of Saul disobedient to God, Samuel was sent to the house of Jesse to anoint one of his sons to be King over God’s people. Jesse sent his sons in and one by one Samuel was impressed with the way they looked, the outer appearance of these men, but God was… Continue

Luke 9:45 states, And Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, who touched me? We all know the story of the woman with the issue of blood, how she went out and in faith decided that all she needed to do was touch the hem of Jesus garment and she would be made whole. There were unknown amounts of people following Jesus, people all around Him and pressing Him about, all kind of people w… Continue

Love, it’s a four letter word and this word has been misused, misrepresented and misunderstand down through the years. Its meaning has been changed to mean what ever the person using it at that time wants it to means; love has been stepped on, changed, set aside, abused and even used for personal gain. Webster has explained their meaning of the word love according to the world standard; but I want to define the word love according to God standard. 1 John 4:8 states, “He that loveth not knoweth n… Continue

As this economy continue to take a hit and people began to worry and stress out about one thing or another, I give God the glory for being my anchor in the time of a storm. I give God all the glory, praise and honor because He has kept me anchored through out my life, even when I didn’t acknowledge Him as my Savior. I’m thankful because I know that all of this must come to pass, I know that when the economy fail, Jesus never fails, what He did on yesterday He can do today and tomorrow. This coun… Continue

On the Gulf Coast this is the season that we prepare ourselves for hurricanes, thunderstorms, floods and many others natural disasters. And as we get ready for yet another hurricane to hit along the coast, I begin to wonder how many prepare their hearts for God as we do for the storms. How many of us have asked God to come in and create in us a clean heart and renew a right spirit within us. How many have stocked up on non-perishable items and hurricane supplies, but haven’t prepared their heart… Continue

Praise God from whom all blessing flows, let everything that has breath praise the Lord, I will bless the Lord at all times and His praises shall continually be in my mouth. All this is scriptures that tell us that we need to give God the glory and the praise, no one else deserve it but Him. Yes we thank everyone and sing their praises when they do something that we think no one else can do; but God can do exceedingly, abundantly, above all and anything that we could ask of think. He is an unlim… Continue

I thank God for all his wonderful blessing, I thank Him for his love, peace and joy. I thank God for where he brought me from, and bringing me this far by faith. I have had asthma all my life, and in 1998, I had to come out of nursing on disability because of all the attacks I was having. I had to have oxygen at home, and carry a portable one whereever I went, that's how bad I was. I was in the hospital 2 to 3 times a year. During all this I never stop praising God, I never gave up, I kept the f… Continue
