TARRY 1 HOUR

Good morning, I speak blessings upon your life. I pray that all of your needs are met and no weapon formed against you shall prosper and may the angels of the Lord keep you and protect you.  (Matthew 26:36) Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them,  “Sit here while I go over there and pray .  (40)  Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping.  “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour? ”  he asked Peter. As I was in my worship time, the Lord said to me, "tarry one hour". In Matthew 26:36, Jesus went to the Father to pray. If Jesus prayed, that should tell us that we have no excuse when it comes to prayer. How is your prayer life today? Could you tarry for one hour?  When I began having my prayer time with the Lord, it was not easy. I had to get up 1 hour before work and pray. There were times when I rolled out of bed. I did this every day and soon I couldn't wait to get up to meet t...

DON'T CLOSE THAT WINDOW

Good morning my sisters and brothers in Christ Jesus! (Psalms 32:4-5), For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah I acknowledge my sin unto thee and mine iniquity have I not hid.    I said I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. Don’t close that window.    Each time that you pray, asking the Lord for His forgiveness you are keeping that glimmer of hope open, the window slightly open.    Each day that I loaded my body with drugs and alcohol I still prayed and worship God.    There was a time in my life when I considered myself to be too deep in sin. I should have or could have at any given time died.    I’m telling you about me, who I used to be.   You're not a hypocrite because you attend worship service or praise God, you're a sinner that loves the Lord, and that's why you praise and worship God! I always share my st...

SHIFT

  Hello, I pray that you are all blessed and highly favored by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and that this is a timely message for you. When you are driving a stick shift you must learn the fill of the car to know exactly when it's time to shift gears.  If you do not shift gears at the right time, you are putting your engine in danger and setting yourself up to have to buy a new engine.  If you don't shift gears when you're supposed to your car will make a loud noise and then shut off. God is telling you to SHIFT, and change your course.  He wants to take you higher in Him, SHIFT.  God doesn't want you to stay in that same gear, SHIFT God says, SHIFT.  God has already spoken to you; this message is only a confirmation for you. God says He has so much more for you, but you must SHIFT, to get to the next level in your ministry.  Some of you have people in your life that are holding you back from SHIFTING.  It's time for y...

YOU NEED A SPOTTER

Good morning, I pray that you are blessed and highly favored by the Lord Jesus and allow Him to guide your footsteps and create in you a clean heart and righteous spirit. Acts 2:25-28, "I saw the Lord always before me.  Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.  Therefore, my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices; my body also will live in hope, because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.  You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with your presence". For games like golf, bow & arrows, and weightlifting you need a spotter.  The spotters' job is that they must have extra eyes.  With golf and bow & arrows, the way the wind is blowing, the temperature, and other things play a huge factor in both.  When lifting weights, you have a spotter standing over you to make sure that you don't hurt yourself and that you can lift the amount of weight that is put on that barbell.  If s...

LABOR OF LOVE

Good morning, I pray that today you are highly blessed and favored by our Lord. Whatever you're going through bad or good, trust God, trust the process. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord (Col. 3:23) When we focuc on serving God, we're able to accomplish even the most difficult tasks with fervor and gladness in His power and leading. We can then become less concerned with receiving earthly recognition and become more eager to receive the reward only He can provide. (Daily Bread) I had been looking for a job for over a year, trusting the Lord that He would put me in the right job. I don't drive so the bus route has to be perfect. I cannot do hard labor work, so a warehouse job was not going to cut it.  The perfect job came up for me, I got the interview and the job. It is a transitional housing place for homeless. We call them our guest and just like guest at a hotel they seem to need a lot of care.  Clean towels, bath items, coats, hats...

MY TESTIMONY

Good morning, I pray that you are blessed and highly favored by our Lord, Jesus Christ.  I also pray that today's message is a blessing to you. (Psalms 9:9-10) "The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed; a stronghold in times of trouble.  Those who know your name will trust in you for the Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you". MY TESTIMONY This is the second time that I shared my testimony with you. God says that it is time for you to be set free. Free from addictions to pills, weed, alcohol, crystal meth, and whatever the enemy has had you bound with. The power of love, God's love will never change towards you.  I know that it is hard to take that first step out of your addiction and into the Lord's hands.  If your addiction didn't kill you, it's because of the love that the Lord has for you. We always hear about how much the Lord loves us.  We read scriptures, we sing songs, and we hear testimony after testimony on how much He loves us. Somehow it j...
Today's devotional though is from a book titled, "When I'm on my knees" by Anita Corrine Donihue. Dear Lord, hug the little girl within me - the little girl mistreated and abused.  Encircle me with Your everlasting arms.  Still my silent sobs.  Anoint my head with Your healing oil; free me from nightmares of memories.  Touch my scars with Your healing stripes.  Soothe each muscle that suffered in anger and pain.  I know You suffered, too.  Piece together my broken heart.  Your heart bled and You died for me.  In sleepless nights, wrap me in Your comforting presence.  Let me rest in the shadow of You, the Almighty.  Hug the little girl in me as you cover me with Your feathers like a mother hen does her chicks.  I find refuge under Your wings.  Help me to face yesterday (wrong as it was), to forgive as You forgive me, and to look toward tomorrow with hope.  Your faithfulness will be my shield and rampart.  Let me n...
