Set Your Heart Above, Not Below

Good morning. My encouragement to you this week is to do what is right even when it's difficult. You will never be shamed when you fix your heart to the will of God.

Psalm 37:37 Consider the blameless and observe the upright, there is a future for the man of peace. Like I said above, continue to push to do what is right and just. There will be no shame, embarrassment, or sadness when we do what is right in the sight of the Lord. The one thing it grants us is peace. So many search for real peace but very few actually find it. When we fix our heart on the Lord and do what is just, God will always grant us peace. Peace within our minds and our hearts. Do not let our sinful nature destroy us. Do everything you can to fight your sinful nature. The peace we all want isn't just found, it is sought. You want peace, seek it. Go for it. I guarantee you if you do what is right in the sight of the Lord, you will always have peace because you know that you are blameless. There is no guilt to be found. There may be those who will despise you for fixing your heart on God but do not let it bother you. That anger causes them upheaval in themselves while you rest in peace of mind, body, and spirit. I think we all can live with that. I leave with Job 22:21," Submit to God and be at peace with him, in this way prosperity will come to you." Be Blessed...

Be grateful for God's Grace

There is nothing we can do nor is there any great amount of labor that can make anything grow without the grace of God. Believe in the faithfulness and goodness of God in every part of your life.

We can work and work and work until our fingers fall off. But without God in the picture, there is nothing your labor can bring about. In 1 Corinthians 3:1-11, Paul does an awesome job of telling this. God is the only thing that can make our work grow. There is nothing we can do or anything we have done that can enable growth in our lives without the grace of God. At times we let our prideful nature overrule our faith in God. We have a tendency to want to invite God in certain parts of lives. This is where we fail. Paul argues in Rom 11:6. If man could merit salvation, God's grace would not be necessary. Life doesn't work like that period. God's grace is such a necessary and beautiful part of our lives. Think of that feeling you get when you've worked for something tirelessly and cried hopelessly only to come up with nothing. Then when you are ready to give up on the situation, the situation corrects itself completely. You can't stop smiling when you look back at where you were. The situation didn't just work itself out. That is the feeling of the Grace of God. That is how the grace of God works. Not just to show up when things are bad, absolutely not. The Grace of God is part of God's character. "But He, being compassionate, forgave their iniquity, and did not destroy them; and often He restrained His anger, and did not arouse all His wrath "(Psalm 78:38). God is compassionate to our desires and our wants. He forgives us despite the depth of our sins. We need to believe in the faithfulness of God but that means being faithful to God ourselves. We need to have faith that God will bless our lives and the courage to stand for him everyday despite what the world may say. Stand for God every day. I hope that you have received Christ in your life already. God's grace is a gift and he wants you to share in this gift. Let God rule over your life and allow his Grace to be a part of your life every day. Thank him for this abundant grace which God is blessing you with every day...Be Blessed...

I Choose the Lord..

Consciously choose the Lord. Choose his ways no matter what it may cost you. He will strengthen you to endure and he will empower you to succeed. The Lord will be faithful to you at all times.
Everyone, my encouragement to you is to choose God first. Make him your first choice always. Choose his ways no matter how much you will have to sacrifice. You may have to sacrifice your time, relationships, etc. No matter what, be willing to do it. You may feel uncomfortable at first bit believe that God will always reassure that you did the right thing. He will give you all the strength you need to endure because I know it can be hard at times. Sacrifice is not always the easiest thing to do. Have you ever given someone a dollar and think," Did I really have that dollar to spare?" You mull over it at times to the point you may even try to seek out another dollar. This seems small but it is just an example. You can apply this analogy to other parts in your life. My point is that it isn't easy all the time. Pray to God that he gives you the strength to endure the hardships that could come your way. He will empower you to stand firm on your choice in him. He will give you the power to stand firm in doing the right thing. It is much easier to do what we want to do rather than what we should do. Choose the Lord. he will help you very step of the way because he is faithful to you. He will never let you travel the road alone..Be Blessed..

Invest in the Lord, Seek REAL Profits...

Continue to remain faithful to God. Make the same long-term investment in God that he has made in you. You will be given real profits: God's grace, protection, guidance, and strength.


Saints, Jesus commands us to seek real profits, not these material ones. For you to seek those real profits, you must give the Lord your best. You have to be sure in his power and his ability to do great things for you. You have to trust in the Lord to benefit you more than anything in this world. There is nothing in this world that will pay off long term materially. All material things have time periods. Look at a computer, over the past 10 years the changes have been remarkable. If you were trying to use a 10 year old computer now it would be almost too outdated and obsolete. God will never be outdated and obsolete in whatever year you decide to invest in him. God has made a lasting investment in you. He has taken your from the valley low, to the mountain high. If you have never received a glimpse of the mountain high, ask yourself where have you been investing yourself? What does your heart treasure? Are you willing to invest part of yourself in God? Or are you willing to invest all of yourself in God? I pray it is the latter and you invest your whole self in God. You will never regret it a day of your life. The stock may look quiet at times but it will always pay off if you remain investing. You never want to pull out right when the stock is getting ready to rise. Stay with it the whole way and prepare yourself for your profits. Be Blessed......

Stay Faithful to Christ, He is Always Faithful to You..

No matter how bad it looks, have faith and believe in the power and authority of Christ. It only takes one word from Christ to change it all around. You will be satisfied.

Ask yourself, do you really have an unwavering faith in Christ? Are there things that prevent you from giving it all to Christ in prayer? Do you believe in his power? My friends, I hope that you do have an unwavering faith in Christ. Think about it: Why shouldn't you? Has he not taken care of you before? Has he been the comfort you needed time and time again? He has been all those things and more to you. When you're praying to Christ for anything, are you confident in his power? I know there have been times I haven't and it showed. Then there were times when I wasn't and he STILL did it for me. I'm sure he's done that for you once or twice. My friends, and even myself, we all need unstoppable, unrelenting, and unquestioning faith. Believe that he will do it for you. The power of Jesus is instant. If he has answered you before HE WILL DO IT AGAIN!! Never,ever lose faith no matter how bad it looks. In 2 Corinthians 5:7, it says, " We walk by faith, not by sight." I need you to believe that Jesus Christ is power.He is always been the source of our strength. You will be satisfied. When Christ intercedes on your behalf, you will never almost be satisfied. Jesus doesn't solve part of the problem. He fixes it completely. Friends, I ask that you make a few minutes to spend with Christ daily. I believe if you do this, this will truly aid in building a stronger relationship with Christ. You will never have an unwavering faith...Be Blessed Saints...

Speak Life, Not Death...Be Rooted in Christ

Good morning. Be aware there is power in your words. You can build a life and destroy a life. Root yourself in Christ so your words will always be a blessing and ministry to others and yourself.

Many of us do not know the power in our words at times. We tend to think that what we say can always be brushed off. That isn't the case. We all need to tame our tongues. Something so small can be so dangerous. It can be so volatile to others if we are not careful. We need to always keep in mind that we need to be a refreshment to others with our words. Our words should be use to build up people, not to tear them down. It's sad that we do more of hurting with our words more than we are healing with your words. Myself, I know I need to do better in this area myself. I need to pay attention that I am being a help with my words rather than hurting others with my words. Others will love you more for your beautiful words. You will feel better about your words too. You will eliminate all those times when you have to apologize for what you did say to hurt another person. You and I need to root ourselves in Christ. He is the only help that can help us with being more of a blessing to others. Believe in what he can do for you. Believe in his power to change. I pray that this find you well and you will be blessed.

Jesus is the Solution

Jesus is the unique solution to all our problems. There is no one else where we will find everything we need. He knows we can't do it alone. He will bring you out of your darkest hour. He will grant to the peace you couldn't find. Trust in the power of his name.


This post is as simple as I can make it. Jesus is the unique solution to ALL our problems. There is nothing under the sun that Jesus cannot handle for us. He is a healer, deliverer, protector, provider, etc. He will make his power complete when he shows you how good he is in your life. Jesus is the good shepherd who will do anything for his sheep. He wants to intercede for you and I. Jesus knows that we alone have none of the tools to walk this life on our own. There is trouble and turmoil waiting for us at every turn. We are troubled of spirit at all moments. The peace you are searching for is able to be found. Ask yourself where are you looking for it. If you're looking in this world, you'll search forever. Call upon the name of Jesus and your search will end. There is power and truth in the name of Christ. He is the same Savior yesterday, he is the same today, and he will be the same FOREVER (Heb 13:8).He never let us down then. He will never let you down now and will continue to anoint your life until the day of your death. Amen to the Savior we serve...Be Blessed..

Prayer Changes...

Keep prayer at the heart of your actions and desires. The power and presence of Christ will prevail in all situations. He lives to intercede on our behalf. Allow God to do that for you. Invite him in your everyday life and your joy will be made complete.

It is important to keep prayer at the root of our lives. Keep prayer at the heart of ALL actions and desires. You need guidance. We all need it. We need to remember, it is our form of communication with God. It is our way to tell God how good he is and bring your requests to God. God is a faithful father, very faithful. He wants the best for you at all times. Talk to your father. God is listening.
Prayer changes "all things". If we are to "pray in everything" (Phip 4:6) then everything must be capable of being changed by prayer. Prayer helps make "all things" work together for good (Rom 8:26-28). After you have prayed, you need to believe that the power of Christ can make this happen. A lot of times when we pray, we are only paying lip service. We are praying because it seems like "the right thing to do." You can't operate like that. Pray because you know there is power in prayer. Pray because you know that there is nothing God won't change for the betterment of your life. Pray because you know that God will make your joy complete. When your joy is complete, your peace from within will be seen outwardly.
If you don't have that relationship with God that you want, now is the time to start. Take some time with him DAILY to strengthen your relationship with him. You will never regret it people...Be Blessed...

Be Brave at All Times

The power of God isn't visible but it's there. When you have TRUE faith in the God, you will recognize the power of God when it is revealed to you. Trust in his power at all times. Don't be brave from a safe distance.


Sometimes it just seems so hard to trust in the power of God. Sometimes it is just so easy to pick up and do it yourself. My, my, it's a shame how much lack of faith we have sometimes. The power of God is something that is revealed at the right times, all the time. God is never late. He may not be on your time but when he decides to move, nothing can stop him. When God decides to exert this power in your life, be ready because he will show you who he is and what he can do. Don't be brave and trust God's power when things are sweet. Trust in his power at ALL times. Just do it! Yes it is going to be hard. Do it anyway. You will not be let down!

Don't Worry

Good morning. There is strength in your weakness. Don't let your problems discourage you. You are a temple of the Lord. He promises to keep his eyes and heart on his temple and will reign their FOREVER. God will show you his perfect power in you darkest hour.

Some of you all may be going through a few pitfalls in life at this moment. You feel down, so down at the moment. You're trying to pick yourself up and you can't seem to get yourself passed that hump to move forward. In 2 Cor. 12:10 Paul says, when I am weak, then I am strong. He knows that God will restore him. What about you? Do you know that God will restore you? God will never abandon you. He destroys those who seek to destroy anything God puts his eyes and heart. Why should you be afraid? Why should you feel sorrow? As long as God reigns there, nothing will be able to destroy it. Does God reign over you? If you can answer this question with no pause, be encouraged and praise him. God will intercede for you and you will be strong again. But if you feel pause, fix it!! Let God reign over your life and watch his power made perfect.
