Patience is a trying path , a road to break all selfishness pride fear and doubt. waters rise opposition comes and it goes . we build up walls and we tear them down just to build again. surrender takes us into a strong tower a true refuge and fortress, the flesh fights and wars wanting to lean upon its own understanding and fight in human strength. Gods Grace is sufficient and His strength is perfected in weakness, we pray and pray, but why stay the same when change is readily available ? oh if we would fall to our knees and really pray and really whole heartedly seek the Face of the Lord He would pour out His spirit.  A touch from the Mighty Hand of God makes all things new, open your heart and let God have it all , some have let Him in but keep Him out of certain areas of their lives . spiritual growth freezes and is hindered when you ignore Gods voice , whatever it is let God take it and have it all. every thing that you have tried to change Only God Almighty can change and...

let the drugs die and let the people live , too many lives have been take captive turned into prisoners of bondage ,some still fighting some no longer here. broken hearts homes and families ripped and torn by this devastation . drugs are no respector of persons they are not racist drugs have a mission from a very real enemy who is out to steal kill and destroy . Annoyed no Im beyond that Im sick o ... f seeing the devil killing people with overdose. while drug dealers may be the source of supply the dealers are driven by the devil himself , for the love of money they kill and destroy rip apart and devour families. street level dealers and big dogs from other cities invade and prey on the vulnerable . where did it start we know it was with the doctors handing out un necessary amounts of pain killers , doctors legal drug dealers getting away with death , the court system serves no real justice only punishing the dealer who sold the dope that killed, the doctor as well should be held acc...

Love swims against the current of life's fears. fear and worry try to paralyze one from moving forward. worry and fear can be hard to let go of sometimes. last night my friend Rob put it like this he said look at it like letting go of the side of the pool when we were little . ya gotta let go before you can know if you can swim without the side holding you . much like our journey now we gotta walk ... by faith not by sight. and not let fears and worry hold us back , no matter what the circumstances look like. it may be a challenging journey but its not impossible. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Love doesn't hide it stays and fights it goes the distance thats why love is so strong and carry's you home.

In life people try to hide things that they are ashamed of . Nothing is ever Hidden from God . in school did you ever have a friend who you really liked and cherished their friendship but when it came to the public in front of popular crowds you tried to hide that friendship maybe not because you were ashamed but because you just didn't want the drama? part of standing up is part of being loyal an ... d taking the heat fighting through the opposition and continuing to move forward. I remember getting in fights in school defending those who were mistreated. still to this day I will defend those who are mistreated or judged by outward appearance . only thing different is Im saved and my fight doesn't result in throwing punches. stand up for your friends and never be ashamed

If silence could speak people would hear too much and say that's Heavy, how do you bare so much . silence does speak but a busy world cannot hear , nor can a busy world see . does a busy world care ? yeah selfishly centered on self for selfish gain. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? The commission was to Go many forgot. feet that don't move , hands that don't reach ears that wont hear eyes that cannot see. to be continued

many tend to have a one sided view of Grace. most would say Grace covers when we repent confess and forsake sin, and Grace brings us to Justification, when we are Justified we are made right in the sight of God we become so clean by His work that its just as if we never sinned. here is the view most don't acknowledge, Grace is a powerful thing, Grace empowers us to be more than conquerors Grace em ... powers us to be overcomers Grace empowers us to be selfless Grace empowers us to persevere and endure and depart from ungodliness. Grace empowers us to do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Grace empowers us to be christlike and walk in obedience and Grace empowers us to resist the devil and be strong enough to resist temptation. and its for this reason Paul said receive not the Grace of God in vain. are we yet perfected ? no we are more flawed than we confess. it was for this reason paul said I press toward the mark for the prize of the High calling of God in Christ Jesu...

It amazes me shocks me and blows my mind, how people so quickly stand and shout for they're favorite team, but their praise for the KING OF kings is silent,empty, hearts far from HIM, hearts closer to they're team, more passion in pursuit of supporting and standing by that team, more excitement in a game, then they find in the Living word of God. stand and shout yelling go, go, come on to a tv, a ... idol that never answers back , a idol that never helps in time of need, a idol that cannot save or fulfill. reject Jesus and His perfect sacrifice acknowledge His Blood was spilled, but they embrace things, empty dreams this ought not be. no time for God or little time for God, yet HE gave His all . they make time for the god that they make supreme They're favorite team. isn't it strange that their team loses, fails them and lets them down but yet they always stand with that team support them cheer them talk to them and never let go of they're team but yet if God doesn...
