When U Pray

Today we went out in the city of Flint to do outreach, we were laughing and having a great time with everyone who dropped by for pizza and prayer. A carload of young men pulled up, tatted and looking pretty rough. One appeared to be a white boy, one was clearly mixed and one appeared…

Man, I was so mad  the other day I told God on a few people. Then I prayed and was asking him if he could provide clarity for me, show me if I was operating in the spirit of discernment or was the devil attacking me.  I needed help, this was really bothering me! “Free…

Remarks for Beverly Jean Nelson As I looked at the best way to remark on my cousin who I called Aunt, I looked for examples of women in the Bible to define her.  I looked to Ruth, I looked at what she had been through and how her story ended, she had Boaz but she…

I’m sure this post will be nothing that you imagined. But yes, you heard it correctly!! I was Jealous….   Not of material things.. I could literally care less about that. I’ve had some of everything in my 34 years of life. I was Jealous to see people happy!! Sounds crazy right? Anxiety tried to…

This is reposted from March 2016, it needs a repeat. ““I give you a new command: Love each other. You must love each other just as I loved you. All people will know that you are my followers if you love each other.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭13:34-35‬ ‭ERV‬‬ http://bible.com/406/jhn.13.34-35.erv Do you love me? Can you love me…

To my husband,  I don’t need you to take care of me.  “My God will use his glorious riches to give you everything you need. He will do this through Christ Jesus.”‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:19‬ ‭ERV‬http://bible.com/406/php.4.19.erv  I NEED YOU TO TRUST GOD I don’t need you to make me whole. God created me in his image and…

Marriage is hard work, it is not for the faint at heart. After the cake is gone, after the flowers have been pressed in a book, after the limo ride home you have to figure out how to live with that someone.  All the dating rules are no longer valid, you are no longer dating,…

Your masculinity defined her womanhood.  The man in you called to the woman and set her free.  The man in you called to the girl in her, he listened to her, hugged her close and allowed her to grow up, trusting that the man would not fail her.  The man in you helped shaped the…

I receive a lot of emails, and the ones that always sadden me the most are from people who condemn themselves because of their weight. Because they condemn themselves and others have condemned them, they think that God must condemn them too. “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,…

Colossians 1:7-14 ERV  You heard it from Epaphras, our dear friend and co-worker. He is a faithful servant of Christ for us. He also told us about the love you have from the Spirit. Since the day we heard these things about you, we have continued praying for you. This is what we pray: that…

“Also, God’s kingdom is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. One day he found a very fine pearl. He went and sold everything he had to buy it. (Matthew 13:45, 46 ERV) The finest quality natural pearls have been highly valued as gemstones and objects of beauty for many centuries, and because of this,…

2017 is the year of love! It’s the year of believing love is enough, it’s the year of knowing that Love does vanquish hate. “Do everything in love.”‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭16:14‬ ‭ERV‬‬ http://bible.com/406/1co.16.14.erv Love has been discussed, explained and defended since the beginning of time. What does it mean to you? Have you ever sat down and…

You didn’t cheat on me, you cheated yourself. You didn’t believe in yourself so you searched for validation through sexual gratification.  You didn’t devalue me, you devalued my love for you. Because you don’t love yourself, you couldn’t believe I loved you either.  You didn’t create me, so no matter how long we are together…

Our women’s ministry is currently involved in a 7 week secret sister fellowship. When we started I was a little apprehensive about it, wondering if people would really participate and how it would look.  It’s called Sister, I see you. The intent is to pray someone else, pour into someone you would not normally pray…

“He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭46:10‬ NIV http://bible.com/111/psa.46.10.niv Life falling apart? Feel as if you can’t catch a break? At loose ends at home at work and at play? Your ministry is not prospering? Your…
