In The Year 2000... And You Were Worried About Y2K... Tsk... Tsk...

Fun Facts:

What’s more frightening to you now, the Year 2000 or 2017?

Super Soul Sunday...

Satan (the stumbling block) has been very successful in his campaign to divide the church by denominations and Mega Church’s vs. the Storefront church’s. He has gotten the minds of the people off of God and lovers of themselves, and in each individual church; now it’s no longer about souls but how big the church and the congregation is or how we can be entertained?  The Church has become a spectacle and no longer a true house of worship. The salt has lost its savor and the light on the hill has been extinguished.

We are too busy in-fighting among each other rather than fighting the real enemy – Really? Must we make it that easy for him? A house divided against itself can not stand!

How did Oprah reach god-like status in the millions of people’s mind? She gave. All she did was give & people translated that as god-like.

What more does our Father in Heaven have stored up for those who love and seek Him. Church’s of this world have the power to do more and reach more than Oprah, but they are alienating people because they are not honoring God by giving to the poor, the widows and orphans; everyone is out for themselves. Are we really going to let Oprah out do the church?

There is only One Super Soul and His name is Christ Jesus and if we lift Him up, He will do the hard work of drawing the souls to Himself.  He will do greater than entertain you, He will sustain you and bless you down to your soul.

Let’s get back to being about our Father’s business…  And it’s an everyday battle, not only on Sunday.

Feeling Parched?

John 7:37-38 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Jesus The Christ is "The Most Interesting Man In The World".

I'm feeling a bit parched, how about you?

Fast & Furious...

The doctor says that you have to fast in order to get your MRI or Upper or Lower GI done and you do it begrudgingly, but in order to rule out anything that may be negative or detrimental to your health, you grit it out and bear the emptying out of yourself.

Now Jesus tells you “Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting” (Matthew 17:21), but now it don’t take all of that.

It may only be conjecture on my part, however, I would say that if despair and hopelessness goes out, then peace and blessings come in – Safe to assume the door swings both ways?

No wonder He said, “And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” (Matthew 17:20)

God is asking, “Won’t you empty yourself for me, and for your own soul and spirit well-being?”

Some get distraught when the Pastor issues a corporate fast and some become downright furious.  Depending on the level of fight you have inside of you and the battle that you are facing, will determine whether or not you will head the diagnosis of The Great Physician, and receive the prognosis of how best to live a healthy life.

“Ask any racer. Any real racer. It don’t matter if you win (life) by an inch or a mile. Winning’s winning.”

Duck Dynasty...

“The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit, who can bear?” (Proverbs 18:14)

In other words… “You’re a sitting duck!”  “The enemy goes to and fro, as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour” Even the king of the jungle, the lion will attack a wounded animal more so than he would the one that’s swift and agile; it only makes sense.  

They tell women who are shopping or out in the street alone to at least look like she would put up a fight and at least tussle with her assailant. 

The hunter seeks the one who will be able to put up less of a fight; the abused, the heartbroken, the weak, disenfranchised and the fragile.  Our wounds are a homing system and GPS tracking device right to where we need to be attacked (Aim and shoot here!) – It’s a duck call - In a manner of speaking…  And we get drawn out of the covering and hedges of God, by a voice imitation. 

“If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it might be the enemy lurking”.  God says that we are His sheep and we know His voice and another we will not follow.  Blind and dumb but blessed and highly favored, because we have The Good Shepherd.

We are up against dynastic rule, a dynasty that’s sole purpose is to seek and destroy; and only God, “The Balm of Gilead” can cover those festering wounds in order to not leaving you a sitting duck for the enemy. 

“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5)

Allow Jesus Christ to be the Savior you need Him to be.

Evermore...

God and anything or anyone for that matter is possible...

More God = More anything and More possibilities...

Why would you serve a God offering anything less?

No Time Left On The Clock...

The goodness of God is what drew me and it is the exact thing that continues to draw me even though I may not be where I want to be right now BUT... I know that if HE has been good, is good and will do good again in my life; that is where I draw my strength from. Struggle is meant to drain you - that's why it s called a struggle; if not it would be called easy. I have been all smiles today though nothing seems to be going the way that I want it to go or even how I would desire for it to be, but I have relegated myself to the fact that God made me a promise that HE would never leave nor forsake me, that HE would bring me to my EXPECTED END - not unexpected; and HE has NOT FAILED ME! Nor will HE. I may have gone through but one thing I know is that I always came out on the other side. There is no loss in God, only gain. We just have to remain in the game until the time clock says 0:00 (that means no time left on the clock) I am here today - There's still time, so I am trusting God to keep HIS word to me.
