Be Encouraged Beloved      We all have to go through some trying times that can really take a toll on us. The very core of our being can seem like it is being ripped right out of us. This is when we call on the Jesus. He is our very help in the time of trouble. He provides what we need even when we don't know what we need specifically. This is the time when we put the word of God in to practice and stand on His promises. Stand on His word that we have hidden in our hearts. When Joshua found himself between that rock and a hard place, the Lord spoke to Him and said "No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you  No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you." (Joshua 1:5 NLT).      If we believe that He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow even forevermore, then what He sai

My eyes are ever on the Lord, for only he will release my feet from the snare. ~Psalm 25:15 First Peter 5:8-9 lets us know that the devil walks about like a roaring lion,seeking whom he may devour. Jesus said it like this "the enemy comes but to steal, kill, and destroy". Satan has been a murderer from the beginning(John 8:44). He was the first to prefer  choice  rather than  life  and just like in the Garden he is still preaching the same message today. The devil is trying to get any and every one in his snare (net). He is trying to take captive as many as he can by his devices, and wiles.  The Bible teaches us that the devil, as he works his deception against us, personifies wiles. He is the master of wiles. He lies to us and waits to trap us, discourage us and snare us. Know that he will do anything he needs to do to weaken us and destroy us. It is his daily occupation to produce discouragement, confusion, indifference, imbalance, division and hatred among us. He

Living, Dying, Buried, Rising, Freedom Some time ago Donnie McClurkin came out with the song titled Living He Loved Me.  It is a song about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I really love this song because it brings the gospel of the Kingdom into one of its simplest message. The lyrics of this song are indeed the Good News of our salvation. We have such a great salvation in Christ Jesus and there is no other name under the sun that we can be saved. In Genesis, after the fall of humanity, God Himself said that He would put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, thou shalt bruise his heel (3:15). God, our Father and Creator, had set His plan of Salvation in motion to redeem humanity out of the hands of Satan and from His wrath.  I thank God for His plan of Salvation! Although we weren’t in the garden, we still have inherited the sinful nature. Adam and Eve is our prototype.  No other humans were made after God made them.  Wi

The Power of Forgiveness By Mary J. Bryant I was reading this article by Dr. Randy Kamen Gredinger entitled The Power of Forgiveness. In his articles, he stated that Forgiveness transforms anger and hurt into healing and peace. Forgiveness can help you overcome feelings of depression, anxiety, and rage, as well as personal and relational conflicts.” I agree with this 100%. When I received the revelation from the Holy Spirit concerning my unforgiveness, it totally changed my life.  It did not occur to me that I had unforgiveness in my heart. All I knew was that I was hurting, angry, disappointed, frustrated and depressed.  The weight of these emotional burdens I was carrying around was slowly putting me in bondage. I was being eaten up by this very dark whole. I wanted desperately to escape. Therefore, when I got that revelation about forgiveness, I paid close attention to my Teacher, the Holy Spirit. He began dealing with me on those moments when hurt came in from those I w

Food For Thought and Consideration We live in this world, but not of the world. When we are born-again of the Spirit of God, we are born from above. We are spirit that has a soul and lives in a body. And when we are born from above, we are to set our mind on things above. We are to have the mind of Christ. Apostle Paul said “Let this mind be in me that is also in Christ Jesus.”  The author of 1 John wrote in chapter 2 and verse 15 that we are not to love the world or the things in the world because if we do, then the love of the Father is not in him.             Please understand that I know that we get frustrated. We get discouraged. We get sick. We get tempted. We get angry. Living in this state, we are exposed to these and more but this is when we take the opportunity to grow in the grace of the Lord. The bible states that there is no temptation given to man that is uncommon. God gives us a way to escape every temptation.              Excuses are made by some and ot
