Greetings Beloved

Body of Christ, let's converse? Do you truly grasp the immensity of God's love for you(John 3:16)? As Pastors, we've chatted with sheep through emails, texts and in person, now it concerns us how they'd  rather toss in the towel and return to their immoral past(James 4:17) because something happened in or out of the Church.
 
We're not belittling what they're experiencing; but the Lord we serve isn't a phony or just sticking a rounding to impress the  multitude. If He declared something over a person's life, of course there's going to be a struggle or 2 because the enemy doesn't want you to receive what God has ordained even before you were born. Yet, keep in mind that whatever occurs won't be in your time; but definitely in His ...
 
Mark 11:24 (GW) ~ That’s why I tell you to have faith that you have already received whatever you pray for, and it will be yours.
 
Didn't you get the memo on this? God understands your prayers even when you don't know to what to say. On the other hand, He doesn't want to instill in you a spoiled mindset, because that would be a contradiction to this ...
 
John 15:7 (HCSB) ~ If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you.
 
Beloved, in the event your feeling confused, increase your prayer time, study the bible more and  become a member of a Church where the Gospel of Jesus Christ is taught, this way your faith will sprout ...
 
Romans 10:17 (NIV) ~ Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

Hallelujah ~ It's Friday

When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others ... Therefore, here it goes ...
 
Colossians 3:13 (HCSB) ~ Accepting one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a complaint against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive.
 
One of the primary reasons why families aren't reunited, friendships take so long to mend and new acquaintances only see negative reflections bouncing off a person's face, on account of that man, woman or youth is constantly reliving a tormenting  past and this is why their reluctant to embrace this ... 
 
Ephesians 4:31-32 (HCSB)
31. All bitterness, anger and wrath, shouting and slander must be removed from you, along with all malice. 32. And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.
 
One last thought to accompany all of you, through a peaceful weekend. After a person hands over  FULL custody of their life's to Jesus Christ, their mental outlook on: life, love, friendship and forgiveness  makes an about face on account of  this ...

2 Corinthians 5:17 (HCSB) ~ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come.

A Lunchtime Lesson

He who angers you with fiddle-faddle theories in order ruffle your thoughts, conquers your peace of mind. Did you know that you occasionally interact with these type of people on a daily bases? Perhaps, in your community, church or at work and they tend to give off a vibe of love and concern; but deep down inside, their awaiting to watch you cry or leave you in a state of confusion. The Apostle Paul suggest that this is the best way to handle these type of individuals ...
 
2 Timothy 3:5 (ESV)  ~ Having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
 
Jesus Christ was constantly running into people of this sort and they wouldn't accept the manner in which He taught. That's right, we're referring to the Pharisees and scribes, experts in twisting the truth to their own benefit, just like this ...
 
Matthew 23:23 (HCSB)
23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You pay a tenth of mint, dill, and cumin, yet you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy, and faith. These things should have been done without neglecting the others.

Calling on all the Hubby's & Wife's

Disputes between husbands & wife's shouldn't last an entire night, on account of this ...

Ephesians 4:32 (HCSB) ~ And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.

In the event that both of you feel the need to argue, substitute it with listening with your hearts, instead of your ears and don't you 2 love birds forget to reminisce about the first time you: met, kissed and said "I Do" ...

Toss these thoughts around in your minds and try to put yourself in your spouse's shoes; because in our 25 years of Marital Bliss Experience, it's much easier to overcome any marital issues, when you think more like a team player than a sole artistic. Or have both of you forgotten what the bible states regarding a man and his wife? If you have, then here's a summary ...
 
Genesis 2:23-24 (HCSB)
23. And the man said: This one, at last, is bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh; this one will be called “woman, "for she was taken from man. 24. This is why a man leaves his father and mother and bonds with his wife, and they become one flesh.

A Thursday Morning Analysis

The study of human behavior is fascinating to us, that's why during our prayer time and focusing on God's word has taught us this:
 
A wise person treats yesterday's problems as water under a bridge. For this is the fruit of their mindset ...
 
Proverbs 16:23-24 (NCV)
23. Wise people’s minds tell them what to say, and that helps them be better teachers. 24. Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, making people happy and healthy.
 
On the flip side, an imprudent person will treat the trials and tribulations of yesterday as an excellent place to build a dam. It's probably because they've grown accustom to thinking like this ...
 
Isaiah 55:8 (GW) ~ “My thoughts are not your thoughts and my ways are not your ways,” declares the Lord.

Wednesday's Wake-Up CaLL

Here's a thought to get your juices running and keep you going thru the day. Motivation, determination and progress shouldn't be emotion's that you keep bottled up inside. Eventually your going to want to let them out and  stop  basing your life on empty thoughts that immediately disappear in the air? Now, don't get upset  with us because we being realistic and sharing the truth with all of you. If we didn't then we'd be enabling you from receiving this  ...
 
John 8:32 (GW) ~ You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
 
Yes, you can pronounce all the above terms, on a daily bases; however if you don't put feet to your faith, then what your doing is meaningless ...

James 2:20 ~ (NIV) ~ You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless?
 
Flipping through magazine papers maybe relaxing; but it won't transform your life,  as much as you think. On that note, allow Jesus Christ to direct your life and this is what will occur ...

1 Corinthians 2:9 (NCV) ~ But as it is written in the Scriptures: "No one has ever seen this,  and no one has ever heard about it. No one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love him."

Good Morning Everyone

Studying the bible on a daily bases, is a mature way to defeating  circumstances that attempt to destroy our life's(Hosea 4:6). Just like all of you, we've noticed that every tomorrow has 2 methods to dealing with life issues ...
 
1. Giving anxiety and sleepless nights, the green light ...
2. Surrounding  yourself with walls of faith, that escalate every time your mind and heart bear hugs with strengthen all that Jesus Christ places in your paths(Hebrews 11:1) ...
 
Hence, this is the last clue to help you start and end your day ...
 
Proverbs 12:25 (HCSB) ~ Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it
down, but a good word cheers it up.

Morning ALL

On this amazing Monday, take a deep breath and contemplate what Jesus Christ symbolizes in your life's. Does He represent love, forgiveness(Colossians 3:12-14) and hope(Isaiah 40:31)? Or is He an escape-goat to your trials and tribulations(James 1:22)?

After you've decided how crucial the Son of God is to you, stop blaming yourself for prior mistakes, move on with a smile on your face, pray for guidance so you'll eventually achieve those goals that our Heavenly Father has deposited in your heart and oh yes, dwell upon this ...

Philippians 4:13 (NLV) ~ I can do all things because Christ gives me the strength.

Buenos Dias

Sunday morning and the weekend is about to say bye-bye to us all. Did you relax, reconnect with siblings and friends or take the time to truly embrace the blessings that Jesus Christ has introduced into your life's?  We ask these questions because every now and then, the obligations of life are conducive to pulling people in distinctive directions and as a result, the enemy takes that opportunity to interrupt with false teachings that will eventually lead you down a hot air path. This is why we'd like you to contemplate this ... 
 
Colossians 2:8 (HCSB) ~ Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit based on human tradition, based on the elemental forces of the world, and not based on Christ.
 
In a few hours the sun will rise and shine, then you, your spouse and kids will jump into action and partake of what comes natural to all of you. Nonetheless we ask that you become mindful of  your actions on this Sunday; because whatever you participate in will be a glimpse to this upcoming week. Ergo, give mind to this ...
 
Proverbs 3:5-6 (HCSB)
5. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; 6. think about Him in all your ways, and He will guide you on the right paths.

 In conclusion, have more faith in God, then the circumstances around you ...

Hi Sunshine

It's Saturday, the genesis to an era of more praying, well deserved family time and let's not forget putting other things in their appreciate places(Ephesians 5:15-17). Where Moms & Dads reconnect, so that they can feel their best, when it comes to sorting out issues with the kids, finances and demonstrate to the community the definition of what God created(1 Corinthians 13:4-8) ...

Obviously, you have lots of errands to run, cartoons to catch up on and tending to overdue family issues too; but be that as is may, if you keep in mind all that Jesus Christ has and still is doing for you and the rest of society too, you'll be smiling harder than a new born baby( Isaiah 26:3) ...

Rejuvenating Friday

Everyone has something their unable to turn into a reality right away? You see, Hannah was married  to a man named Elkanah and he was also wed to Peninnah, who gave him children, while Hannah was childless (1 Samuel 1:2) and Peninnah's constant mocking about Hannah being sterile, made matters even worse(1 Samuel 1:6). 

The pain drove Hannah to weep in the temple(1 Samuel 1:10) and  she also made a vow to the Lord that if she'd found favor in His presence, bless her with a son and in return she'd never cut his  hair and dedicate his life to the Lord(1 Samuel 1:10). Little did she know that Priest Eli was observing her and thought that her silent praying meant  she was drunk(1 Samuel 1:13).

WOW, Hannah's was surrounded by people who couldn't comprehend  her pain; but  thank God  that those stressful moments motivated her to bear hug this  ...

Hebrews 11:1 (GW) Faith assures us of things we expect and convinces us of the existence of things we cannot see.

After a year, Hannah's request  was answered and she too honored the vow to the Lord (1 Samuel 1:24).  As you welcome this Friday morning, don't forget that the Lord ALWAYS keep His word ...

"Seize this Thursday"


A morning lesson about an amazing man, who's mother(Mary) was engaged to Joseph; however Mary & Joseph were NEVER intimate with each other(Matthew 1:18). Nonetheless Joseph was contemplating secretly divorcing Mary(Matthew 1:19). While Joseph was gathering his thoughts, an angel from the Lord appeared in the nick of time; in order to help clear his mind regarding Mary's unexpected pregnancy, which was fruit of the Holy Spirit(Matthew 1:20).

What we're ...conveying to all of you is that when your natural eye is unable to see the light at the end of a visible tunnel, that's when Jesus Christ springs into action and comes to your rescue, for the world to see that your not alone and so yours/their faith can reach new heights too(Hebrews 11:1). That being said, praise the Lord(Psalm 150:6) and add a pinch of this to the mix ...

Psalm 55:22 (HCSB) ~ Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.

WOW, that's what we call the icing to a sweet and tasty cake, that was baked and blessed by Jesus Christ, Himself ...

Greet the Day:

Welcome this Wednesday with a smile on your face, feasibly you were tossing and turning last night, a mental debate regarding past and unsolved mishaps took center stage ...

However, let's chat about a born leader and hard working individual named Peter. Of course, Peter had his faults, just like all of us and here's one example. After Jesus dismissed the crowd, He told his disciples to go aboard the boat while He went up to the mountain and prayed(Matthew 14:22-23). Once Christ finished praying, he noticed that the boat was a mile away, the wind was battering at 3:00am, thus Jesus started to walk on the sea(Matthew 14:25). When the disciples saw Jesus, they became terrified and thought it was a phantom(ghost) they saw(Matthew 14:26).

While Jesus was walking on the water, Peter asked the Lord if it's you, then allow me(Peter) to walk on water in order to get to you(Jesus)(Matthew 14:28). Here's a suggestion, don't be like Peter, get your mind off last night's storm and await the morning blessing that Jesus has brewing for you(Psalm 30:5) ...

Rise and Shine Everyone,

The definition of a true and loving friends isn't someone, who's never going to get angry or upset wit you. It's how fast that person is to put your mishaps in the past, as if nothing ever happened ...

That person isn't quick to get angry, forgives early and is constantly by your side, even if no one else is ... Care to know His name? It's Jesus Christ and He loves you 24/7 and He's also an expert when it comes to doing this ...

Proverbs 27:17 (GW) ~ As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens the wits of another.

"Greetings Everyone"

Did you know that our Heavenly Father paid a Hefty Price for each of our life's(John 3:16)? Yes, that right, Jesus, the son of God never took into consideration the numerous times He(Christ) asked us to depart from our sinful paths and we refused His loving offer ...

On the contrary, that ignited in Him(Jesus) a greater desire to rescue us from our immoral ways and take us to a better place, morally, mentally and especially spiritually(2 Corinthians 5:17) ...

With this, we're going to say bye bye for now and ask that you ponder this too ...

John 15:13 (NCV) ~ The greatest love a person can show is to die for his friends.

The Remarkable Key

Prayer is definitely the key that unlock thousands of doors ... That's why in your time of need, bend your knees and embrace this ...

1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NCV) ~ Pray continually!

You'll benefit from it in the long run ...

Welcome Everyone:

The bible shares with us a story about a 75 year old man, who willingly departed from his parents house, accompanied by his wife, nephew and that he acquired too(Genesis 12:1 & Genesis 12:4). Why you ask? It's because Abram believed in what God spoke over him(that's what we call faith)(Hebrew 11:1) ...

These are the words God spoke over Abram: He'd turn him into a great nation, make his name great and be a blessing to others(Genesis 12:2). 
 
On the flip side, this is also what the Lord declared over him(Genesis 12:3): He'd extend his blessing over anyone that blessed Abram, curse anyone that mistreated him and finally, everyone that interacted with Abram, would be blessed through him too(Genesis 12:3). Here's one more thought to take to heart too ...

2 Corinthians 9:8 (NLV) ~ God can give you all you need. He will give you more than enough. You will have everything you need for yourselves. And you will have enough left over to give when there is a need.

Bonjour Everyone

Let's chat about 2 sisters named Martha and Mary? They both lived under the same roof, willingly welcomed Jesus into their home and had a brother named Lazarus too. What truly caught our attention was the manner in which Mary immediately sat at Jesus feet(wise move) in order to listen and learn from Him(Luke 10:39) ...

However, Martha, the one that met Jesus when he arrived at the village(Luke 10:38), within a blink of an eye her demeanor changed and she b...become distracted with household chores that could have been attended to later on(Luke 10:40). Without wasting any time, Jesus took this opportunity to lovingly correct Martha(Luke 10:4) ...

Just like Martha let the devil meddle in her relationship with her sister Mary and her time with Jesus, we urge you to be mindful wherever you go, so that you don't fall in a similar trap. On account of, we want you to receive all that the Lord has stored away for you(2 Corinthians 5:9) ...

Aloha Everyone

It's amazing the manner in which Jesus Christ blesses a person's life. For instance, Abraham was sitting in front of his home(during biblical times, a home was referred to as a tent), when 3 men(vessels of God) arrived(Genesis 18:1-2). Now, when the Lord's about to birth a gift into you, he tends to announce it beforehand. You see, Sarah & Abraham were elderly and Sarah was passed her prime when it came to bearing a child(Genesis 18:11), but that's when our H
Heavenly Father loves to toss us a curve ball, just like in Abraham & Sarah's case ...

In fact, you may even feel the need to laugh or chuckle a little like Sarah(Genesis 18:12), because a sense of doubt arose. That's natural, but don't cuddle that thought for a long period of time because that might instill in you a mindset that the enemy will appreciate, followed by robbing you of what the Almighty has established for your life(John 10:10) ...

In conclusion, ponder Sarah & Abraham's story as it were your own, because Jesus Christ hasn't and won't change(Hebrews 13:8). The root to this biblical chronicle is this, what's yours is yours ...

Good Morning My Lovelies:

Just like Jesus Christ invited his disciplines to join Him for breakfast, after they spent an entire night fishing and didn't catch a bite(John12:3) ... We'd also like to ask you to accompany us on a journey ....

Life is funny, I say this because Jesus had revealed himself for a 3rd. time to his disciplines; but they still didn't know who he reallh was(John 12:4). Nonetheless, that didn't keep Christ from teaching his disciplines a loving lesson. A...s I mentioned by, after a night of not catching any fish the Lord told his disciplines to go onboard of the boat and Simon Peter heard what the Lord said and immediately Simon Peter took off his outer garment and dropped into the sea(John 12:8-9).

Little did the disciplines know that they'd be blessed with 153 large fish(John 12:11). The moral of this bible teaching is that when the Lord tells you to do something, don't hesitate or lose faith; because if God called you, he'll bless you ...
