Blessed with a gentle God.

Many times we feel like God is punishing us. We feel like temptations are always after us. We say things like ”If God has all power, why is He allowing these things?”  Many of us feel that God will not set us free from the things we need to let go of. We begin to question his abilities and authority. I’m here to tell you that we serve a gentle God. God will not enter where he is not welcome. You have to WANT to be free from sin. God can not deliver a person that does not want to be delivered. God is not a God of punishment. God is not of evil. “Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.” ‭‭James‬ ‭1:13‬‬‬. Learn to fight temptations in the spirit. Temptations are driven by your own desires. Give God permission and access to search your heart. Ask Him for help, but only if you really desire help. He is willing and capable, but only if you would allow him to do so. Be Blessed!

Blessed with a miracle.

We live in a world where miracles and signs seem to be nonexistence. I want to have a transparent moment with you all. God has given me many miracles and signs to increase my faith and trust in him, but I neglected Him until now. In 2018 I experienced severe pelvic pain. Pain that would leave me crying some days. I went to my GYN and she ordered an ultrasound. My ultrasound revealed that I had fluid in my left fallopian tube, which was causing pain. My doctor explained that I would have the option of living with it or having it surgically removed. She said the chances of getting pregnant in the future would be slim. I opted to hold off on surgery. At 27 years old I was devastated and very afraid. I kept quiet about this. I had only informed a few people. I spent many days crying and praying that God would heal me. About 3 months later I asked for a repeat ultrasound and it was ordered. The day after the ultrasound I went back to my GYN for the results and my doctor said “Your ult...

Blessed with the presence of God.

Did you know that once you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior that the Holy Spirit will dwell within you? Did you know that as children of the most high God you carry his presence with you at all times? God’s presence is what makes you different from others in the world. “How will anyone know that you look favorably on me—on me and on your people—if you don’t go with us? For your presence among us sets your people and me apart from all other people on the earth.”  Exodus‬ ‭33:16‬  When you carry the presence of God other people will notice something different about you. God gives us an assignment here on earth. It is your job to spread the gospel. It is your job to speak with truth and love. You do not have to be a pastor, teacher, apostle, or prophet. God just wants you to do His will. Many would say it’s hard, but in reality, it’s not. You carry the presence of God and all you have to do is ask him to give you the words to say. The Holy Spirit will provide you with the...

Blessed with endurance.

Many of us are struggling in our walk with Christ. It's because we are carrying the weight of sins. We are struggling to let go of the very thing that is keeping us from growing closer to God. That thing may be alcohol, drugs, or even a toxic relationship. These things are stumbling blocks. I talk about protecting your witness often. As Christians, we are always being watched. People of the world are always waiting for us to trip up. At times it seems easier to keep sinning oppose to walking the straight and narrow path. How many of you know that God’s promises are much greater and bigger than the things the world has to offer? It's time to shift your walk. It's time to let go of the baggage. Some things may seem impossible to shake or give up, but God will give you the endurance to finish the race.  We have to hold on to his promises and his word. Believe it in your heart that God will always have your back. “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd ...
