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!

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...
