“I do not know why Christian people intentionally entangle themselves with the enemy. You know what you are doing is not pleasing in the Lord’s eyesight, yet you still get yourself all entangled with satan’s foolishness. If you don’t know, then let me tell you loud and clear, satan is not your friend. I repeat, satan is not your friend! When we entangle ourselves with satan, he does nothing but make our lives a living hell. Nothing ever good comes from dealing with the enemy because his sole purpose of roaming this earth is to still, kill and destroy your testimony by any means. When we entangle ourselves with satan, he causes a ripple effect in our lives. For example, when I got married, I still wanted to do things my way. I didn’t believe in communication.”

“When you go to God in prayer, you don’t need to go into a full dissertation. You just go straight to what you need. I think sometimes we forget that God knows everything about us, He just wants us to develop an intimate relationship with Him. Do you have an intimate relationship with our Father or are you that Christian in name only? You don’t really pray unless there is a need. You can never find time to read and understand His word. You are too busy to come to Bible class. In fact, you barely have time to worship Him on Sunday’s. You are the Christian that has a checklist that you must follow and there is a spot that says “go to church “ and you put a check by that item on your list, then go on to the next item on your check list. Does this sound like you…”

“What is a true friend? The dictionary says a friend is a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection with. Let’s look at the key words for a friend. It says you know the person and you have a bond with that person. Now let’s look at synonyms for the word friend… companion, best friend, close friend, intimate, confidante, familiar, soul mate, shadow. There are more words but let’s stop there. So if you are truly a born again Christian, you said yes to God’s will for your life. You decided to turn your back on worldly gain for Kingdom gain. You decided that you would love what Christ loves and hate what Christ hates. You decided that you wanted to be on the Lord’s side. So if this was your decision, does your actions show it? …. Does He really know you or are you one that He has to look for?”

“This scripture resonates with me because I’ve heard the voice of God calling me to do more for His Kingdom. As everyone probably knows, I am a singer and I love to sing. It doesn’t have to be on a stage, it can be anywhere and I will breakout singing songs of Zion. This is one part of my life, but I heard Him say more, so I created a forum for the women at my church and the surrounding area who would like to interact with God’s word each morning. Then I heard Him again say more…”

“When you said YES to Salvation, you said yes to the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Your choice to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior means that you belong to God the Father. When you are a part of the children of God, you rely on the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you in every aspect of your life. By the Holy Spirit dwelling in you, you must be careful that you are not quenching the Holy Spirit by what you allow to enter your space.”

“It’s not good to worry if you call yourself a child of God. What should we do when life throws us a curveball? We should simply go to God in prayer. The word of God says, “Cast all your cares on Him for He cares for you.” Our God loves us and doesn’t want us to suffer. He doesn’t want us to be afraid. He doesn’t want us to be troubled by anything. That’s why when Matthew wrote this passage of scripture, he wanted us to know that we should not worry about tomorrow because it has its own troubles.”

“When the Lord said the greatest of these is love in 1 Corinthians 13:13, is exactly what He meant. Love is what took Him to the cross. His love for us is why our Savior allowed the soldiers to stretch Him wide. Love is why our Savior allowed them to put nails in His feet and hands. That’s love!”

“I am so glad that we have a Savior that has promised to never leave or forsake us. He is God that cannot lie. When you are in the valley of your life He is there. When you are on the mountain top He is there. When we are weak, He is strong. Our Savior is our joy in times of sorrow and our hope for tomorrow. He makes what we see as impossible, possible.”

“People ask me why do I keep going and going and going like the Duracell bunny and my answer is simple, it is because I love the Lord. He has done So much for me and my family that I cannot tell it all. My favorite scripture says, “I must work the works of Him who sent me while it is day because when night comes, no man can work.” I must do all I can do right now while I have breath in my body. I want to be pleasing to the Lord right now in my life because I’ve wasted too much time already. How many of you can say that you’ve wasted too much time? Wasted time doing things your way instead of God’s way…” 

“Who do you confide in when you need to talk? Do you have friends you prefer to talk to or is it a family member? Maybe it is your husband. These people can be among those that could possibly give you good counsel, but these same people could also give very bad advice. What does God say about counsel?

James 5:16 says, “Therefore, confess your sins to one another…”

“I hope you know that you were not chosen to be set a part so you could sit down and do nothing. No! When God chose you, He had a purpose for you and that was to glorify Him and go and tell someone else about the Good News. You were chosen to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So my question to you is are you fulfilling the call that was placed on your life or are you giving the Lord excuses why you can’t do it right now?”

“There is no one like the Lord God Almighty. You can look as far as the east is from the west, still you will find no one like Him. He is many things to many people, so let’s talk about who He is to me. If you agree, just say amen! Psalms 18:30 says, “As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him. He is my refuge; when I feel like I’m backed into a wall, I can run to Him.”

“There is nothing under the sun impossible when you have Jesus on your side.”

“There is a song that says, “The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?” With Jesus by your side, there is no need to fear.”

“We mess up numerous times but all the Lord requires of us is to humble ourselves and ask for forgiveness. Then turn away from our wicked ways and He will forgive and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. It is just that simple but what keeps us in this whirlwind of sin is our pride…”

“When this life is over, there should be no one that can say they have not heard about this great God we serve. How is this going to happen you ask? The only way it can happen is if YOU start fulfilling the Great Commission the Lord has told us to do in Matthew 28:19-20”

“God will not give you what you do not deserve. He will not give you what is not in His will for your life. Our lives, those who have been set a part, is in the Lord’s hands…”

“Yesterday we talked about the power of prayer and how you must have faith that God will see you through. Today’s scripture focuses on the fact that God wants us to take our burdens, desires, needs to the alter and leave them there.”

“There is power in prayer! When you take your desires, problems to the Lord in prayer, things change on your behalf.”
