  • Like a Phoenix, I rise out of the ashes to an occasion! Anything tired by fire comes out beautiful! But it takes courage to rise out of the Ashes of Fear!!! That makes me beautiful!        ~Courageous Beauty ~ Isa 61:3 KJV To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

  • A stumbling block but a Chief cornerstone!!!

    A stumbling block but a Chief cornerstone!!!
    Apr 26 2023
    A stumbling block but a Chief cornerstone 1Peter 2:7-10 KJV 7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. I'm here to say I'm not a fan with injustices of God's people. Especially black people because I'm black but the situations of this current world is yet at a state of emergency across the board. How can we truly be mad at another race of people when we cause confusion in our own house, in our own back yards, in our own camps, neighbors, in our cities, in our own states, in our own country!!! Not just the world alone but the very body of Christ has seen so much confusion and division. It ought not to be so, as believers, kingdom citizens, children of the Most High God we are supposed to be the light of the world not living in the dark with the world. Yet we stop to fix our lips to ask God why bad things happen. We can't forget that Jesus said they hated him and would hate us too. No matter black, white, right, wrong or indifferent we ALL are God's children and we should learn to leave in love and harmony. Instead from what I've seen Christianity is one of the most construed, and criticized belief systems because the bottom line is to cause division and cause folks to deny what Jesus has done for us. It makes me lean in even more to God because he already foretold us what would come and now that we see things unfold before our eyes we all act surprised. He actually told us... Matthew 24 KJV Destruction of the Temple 1. And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3.And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8. All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10.And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. I think sometimes people only think what the Bible says literally only applies to the folks of that time. Well im here to tell you that the Word of God is timeless, alive and will live on forever. We have to keep in mind in this life God never promised us that we wouldn't face hard times. Even with us being his children he covers us through the hard times not necessarily eliminate them. Our c

  • God is not done with us yet!!!

    God is not done with us yet!!!
    Apr 19 2023
    You are not dead, God is not done!!! Jesus died so we can live and have life more abundantly. He said he wouldnt leave us comfortless because he knew there would be times we would need a comfort. In order for great things to come about we must tread high waters, and step over serpents. But God made a promise to us in Isaiah... Isaiah 43 KJV Isa 43:1-2 KJV 1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. 2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. So even in the mist of our trails and tribulations Jesus, Whom is the very Word of God said greater works will we do! He said wait! and you after the Holy Ghost is come you shall be endowed with power from on high! Power to overcome the world as Jesus has already obtained the victory! So now that Holy Ghost is on the inside of us we know that Greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world! Jesus was in the world and now is risen and sitted at the right hand of his Majesty on high and his Holy Spirit at the moment of our confession of him being our Savor have been saved from our sin and equipped with power at the same time!!! we have the power Beloved I pray that above all else that you be in good health and prosper even as your soul prospers! As long as we have breath in our bodies God is yet giving us another chance to align our lives to his will. Isaiah 43 3-21 KJv 3 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. 5 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; 6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; 7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. 8 Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. 9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth. 10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. 11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. 12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God. 13 Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it? 14 Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships. 15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. 16 Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; 17 Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow. 18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. 20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in

  • Don't let your passion turn into pressure !!!

    Don't let your passion turn into pressure !!!
    Apr 12 2023
    Don't let your passion for something turn into pressure that could crush someone instead of influence them. You are the light of the world, a city that cannot be hid. Who would hide their light under a bushel instead you would put it in a lampstand for all to see. The Bible says we are living epistles read by men. So we ought to live our life accordingly. We need to let our light so shine that men(mankind) will see our Good works and glorify our Father in heaven. So when we find ourselves so passionate about something we don't need to pressure others we just need to live by example and allow the Holy Spirit to lead us and the power of influence which is also the Love of God will cause others to be lead to Christ. John 12:32 KJV 32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. He was the seed that had to die under the pressure so we could have the promise of abundant life!! The thing is we don't have to force-feed any of the gospel. We also don't have to force our hearts desires and passions on others. We want others to worship God out of their own desires not ours. We also want folks to support us and be in our corner when we are going for something but that doesn't have to look like a screaming match to get support. That doesn't have to end up in offense because someone doesn't want to partake in what you are doing. Sometimes we must walk alone for a season and if we know that we know in our knower(spirit) that God has called us to do something he might just send you first. It doesn't mean your loved ones don't or won't support YOU, it means this is the vocation God has for YOU as an individual. Now if others are influenced by the way you live your life for Christ by walking in your truth, trusting the Lord all the way through your journey, while exemplifying the love of Christ, then let it happen organically. There has been times in my life that I have been so passionate about sharing the love of Christ to people and some receive what I'm saying and some don't. That's OK. It really is ok because as long as I'm being obedient to the call that God put in me it doesn't matter who won't follow, and or heed sound doctrine, advice or the very Word of God. It only matters that I planted the seed, God will water it. We are not Jesus Jrs he is the one whom can save anyone he is the only one that died for our sins and bought us with a price and rose again and is our savour!!! So with all of that in mind be a firey one for Christ be passionate and courageous but you don't have to have this spiritual chip on your shoulders walking around like a holy ghost bully just looking for offenses and opposition to come. Trust me you will have enough opposition as a believer as it is, you don't need to create opportunities to offend folks or to get offended. Let folks believe what they want to believe. Our Job if God gives us a task is to deliver in love and let the chips fall where they may. Trust me I've come a long way. I used to be so stressed out trying to save people and telling people about the word of God and getting angry if they don't listen. Listen honey it's a hard and long fall to the ground are emotions and ego can go to if we are not careful. Whatever you believe God might be saying to others you have to eat that word first! So don't allow your passions to turn into pressure, it will only crush someone not influence them. If someone needs to be crushed God will do it. He might use us to speak a word that will pull back a layer or two but it's never our job to force feed anything to anyone. God is such a loving father he doesn't force himself on us. He says what needs to be said and gives us a choice to follow what he commands. Now there are consequences for disobedience also but he still gives us the chance to get right. Deuteronomy 30:19 19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou
