For the past few days, I've been wrestling and having conversations with my husband and my sister about the tragic events that have occurred over the last few days and God kept reminding me that transformation cannot come from a heart that is unconverted. I just received confirmation after listening to my pastor's weekly phone call blast of encouragement and love, that this is most certainly "a heart issue" and out of the heart flows the issues of life.
We are placing so much emphasis on humanity to change, our judicial system to change but at the core, we need a change of heart that can only be transformed through the Word of God.(Matthew 28:18-20) In essence, all lives matter because when we consider eternity, we all need to be saved from our sins!
Many may not agree, but what we are witnessing is the manifestation of what's on the inside of an unrepentant heart overall: evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness. (Mark 7:21-23)
All these evils come from within........Again, what we are witnessing is a reflection of what's going on in the inner man/woman but through the shed blood of Jesus Christ and the love of God shed abroad in our hearts after we believe, we can have the strength to love our neighbors as ourselves and we can do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God.

I heard it said once that people don't evangelize because they are too concerned about their finances. Instead of concerning ourselves with our finances, we need to make our trust in God a priority. Outside of God we will never have enough or be satisfied: therefore, we ought to totally rely upon the strength of God who is our Source and promised that we would not go without lack nor seed begging for bread. I've tried God at His word. There was a time I needed $500 and God laid me on the heart of someone and said, "God laid you on my heart to be a blessing to." The "things" we spend time worrying about that would potentially take our minds off of doing the work of God, God is already working that situation out for you. You just have to trust Him and continue in the work while you wait for Him to fulfill that which He promised. Now, if you haven't accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior then these promises do not apply to you but are available because Jes...

Diamonds, Starting over can be a very humbling experience but one you should not resist. Its all apart of the process for God to make all things new in our lives. Being afforded the opportunity to have a fresh new start, or afforded the opportunity to blossom in a new pot of dirt speaks to both the grace and the goodness of God. Regardless of whatever your yesterday dictatated to you, the moment God allowed you to start over should keep your focus foward. You can't drive and arrive at your destination looking backwards. Besides, that chapter is over. Finished! Where God is leading you is full of promise and the production of fruit that will last. Get ready for your later days to be greater because you are no longer your past! Walk in the confidence of God knowing He will never lead you where He is not and  He has your best interest in mind! Be Blessed & know since you have a reason to shine (because God resides on the inside of you) let your light shine so that others may...

Taking It Lying Down!

Diamonds, What do you do when your being mistreated? Insults being hurled at you? People talking about you? Lie on you? Mistreat you all the while they tell you that they love you, are for you, and smile in your face; thinking of new ways to manipulate you in order to further use you to their benefit with no plans of giving you credit.  But God is awesome in that He will open your eyes to their evil and diabolical schemes toward you; it may appear that you are passively resisting but in the spirit, you are actively praying unto God regarding the situation. You are asking and inviting God into the situation; He is the One who is with you and will go to bat for you all while it may appear that you are taking things lying down .  There is no need to make it public because God has a way of making spectacles out of devils or the devils that some allow to control them. He did just that when His Son died on the cross at Calvary. He did not come down , all the while it app...
