YOUR PAST, YOUR PRESENT, YOUR FUTURE

(1 Cor. 27) God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong

Good morning, brothers, and sisters in Christ Jesus. My prayer for you is that you are blessed and highly favored as the Lord makes your path straight and easy.

How do you get delivered from your childhood? People find out what you're still struggling with and the first thing the saints say is "Aren't you delivered from that yet?" It's not as simple for some people. It's not that simple for me. It's not like a pack of cigarettes or drugs. Sometimes our past leaks into our present.

I am what we call the middle child of the siblings. My mother had four children, I have one older sister, one younger, and my brother, the oldest. Everyone always says the middle child causes the most trouble, but I don't think so, well maybe.

The day that he moved into our home, for me, the middle sibling curse began. My nose became the brunt of his jokes. He told me that I had the biggest nose that he had ever seen. I was 6 years old; I didn't see anything wrong with my nose, but the joke was that someone must have sat on my nose when I was a baby. Now, this might not seem like much, but it does when you're only 6 and it happens often with everyone laughing at you.

Through my walk with the Lord, Jesus Christ I have found that I was in "spiritual warfare" the moment he moved into my "Safe Haven". People will try to crush your spirit because of the demonic spirit that they are wrestling with. The devil knows who you are in Christ even when you don't. I was being attacked by something that I had no knowledge of at that youthful age.

LET US PRAY! Heavenly Father, thank you for your love, grace, and mercy that keep me from bondage in my heart and mind. Lord as I go about my day, I pray that you strengthen me when I feel weak and create in me a clean and righteous spirit. Thank you for keeping me safe.

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...

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...

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...
