Diamonds, Rock the Vote!

This morning I exercised my right to vote. I realized in Scripture that Jesus in Matthew, the 22nd chapter exercised his right to pay taxes, not relinquishing his responsibility to participate and carrying out his civil duties to pay taxes to Caesar; so for that reason and my pastor sending the Holy Spirit to wrestle with us if we choose not vote, to then be moved to participate in this election.

Jesus is my example as well as my hope and salvation; I also believe we who are born again believers can help make a difference by pushing God's will further when we participate and not sit idly by but then complain when our freedoms are threatened or taken away. The same freedoms that our forefathers/ mothers and civil rights leaders fought so hard and died for so that we could participate and exercise our rights as citizens in this country.

So with that, I pray if you haven't done so, please do so..... Go out and vote!

In addition, I am reminded that there are many Christians being persecuted in other countries that don't have the right to vote for leadership but we can worship our Lord and Savior freely and corporately so I'm addition to voting, I will continue to pray for our next elected officials that they make decisions that will fall in line with God's will and plans that will readily have a major impact on all of our lives!

Go Out and Vote as well as Encouraging Others to do so!

Today, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season. The lenten season is observed to better appreciate the death, and resurrection of Christ through self-examination, repentance, prayer, fasting, and self-denial. In addition, Ash Wednesday has another significant meaning for me. It was on this day, Ash Wednesday that the Lord brought me out of my induced coma in 2000, March 8th to be exact. Prior to that, I could only recall seeing my brother the night of the fire  in January who accompanied me in the ambulance while being transported to what was then called UMDNJ in Newark, NJ. On that Ash Wednesday, I can remember seeing both my grandmother and my mommy sitting in my hospital room. Grandma holding a can of Pepsi, and mommy doing something with my feet, lol. Probably clipping my toe nails. There is also that taste of chicken broth or soup I will never forget fed to me intravenously along with other fluids to sustain me while I was in a coma. Its been 16 years fr...

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...
