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!

No Room For Excuses!

There was this young woman diagnosed with leukemia and she spent a considerable amount of time in cancer treatment facilities.   Everyone that came in contact with this young lady always referred to her as remarkable, and resilient. It baffled them how she was able to keep such a sweet spirit considering all she has endured.  The doctors and medical specialists couldn't understand it. When they would shake their heads, she opened her heart and then began to testify of God's goodness in the midst of the storm. When the doctors came in with some "bad news" she was quick to tell them about the hope she had in Christ Jesus. Again, they couldn't understand how she could believe in a God that allowed her to experience so much suffering. Politely she would explain that her suffering is not a death sentence or a reflection of God's lack of love for her. In her suffering she experiences the grace of God that others in her weakness may witness His strength. ...

Naked & Ashamed

"Naked & Ashamed!" Do you remember a time when you felt naked and ashamed? Perhaps you are feeling naked right now having discovered you are pregnant when others were unaware that you were even having premarital sex. What if you discovered you have a STD or the person you thought cared so much about you and who you surrendered your virginity to broke up with you. To heighten the issue, your ex has just told his boys or her girls about how you didn't live up to their expect ations in bed. Well, let me tell you a story about Adam & Eve who sinned against God and afterwards they experienced what we could call, "the walk of shame." So much so that they tried covering themselves up by making a covering with fig leaves and they hid from God. The Bible says, "Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame," Gen. 2:25. (NLT) "Naked" my friends and "felt no shame" are in perfect harmony; there are no barriers and no ...

Diamonds, there was a young person a part of her church's youth group and she shared that she wanted a job in a strip club. "The strip club," they asked? "Yes, the strip club. There is a job opening as a cook and while I'm there I want to share the gospel with the strippers," she explained to her youth group. Well, her youth leader, along with her youth group carpooled to the strip club and prayed over the building in the dead of winter. They then proceeded by writing her work sc hedule down after she got the job and when she was scheduled to work, they each agreed to pray. After the young person ministered to the other young women in the strip club and introduced them to Jesus Christ, they responded by coming into the church, giving their lives to Christ and made the decision to change occupations. What an awesome testimony of God's love, light, and grace being dispensed into the world! May this testimony encourage someone to follow God's ...
