EVERLASTING LOVE!

Pressing on to Know the Lord Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do , forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead , I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. ( Phi_3:13-14 ) We have noted that humility is one of the relational realities that God wants to develop in our lives so we can live daily by the grace of God. " God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble " ( Jam_4:6 ). Here we see evidence of the godly humility that had developed in the Apostle Paul through the years. " Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended ." When these words were written, Paul had been walking with the Lord for 25 to 30 years. Yet, he admits that he had not "fully arrived." He confesses that he did not know the Lord so completely that his entire life was a demonstration of resurrection living. Consequently, he had one g...

This has been such a blessing to me personally and I wanted to share it! In Christ I am anointed and a powerful person of God. I am a joint-heir with Jesus and more than a conqueror. I am a doer of the Word of God and a channel for His blessings. If God be for me, who can be against me? I am blessed coming in and I am blessed going out. My enemies are fleeing before me. God has commanded His blessing on my storehouses. He has opened His good treasures and I shall lend and not borrow. I am the head and not the tail. He has given me power to make wealth I dwell in the secret place I have His protection and provision. God is my refuge, my fortress I am not afraid of the snare of fowler. No evil shall befall me and no plague shall come nigh my dwelling. God has given His angels charge over me and they are bearing me up in their hands lest I dash my foot against a stone, as declared in Psalm 91. 1 Peter 2:9 establishes I am a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nati...

The following prayer was taken from a devotional that I received today and I wanted to share it with everyone, be blessed and encouraged today. Amen!!! Dear Father in Heaven, There are so many couples who long to have children of their own, but they just have not been able to do so. I pray for these families, that you will anoint them and bless the desire of their hearts. On the other hand, there are many children who long to have parents and a stable family to love and care for them. I pray that you will give them hope and bless the desire of their hearts. Please join together those parents and children into loving families. Meet their needs and show your hand in their lives. Thank you for hearing and for working in these special situations. In the name of Jesus I pray, amen.

(Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. I am so thankful to God for this little girl. I love her so much and I know that God loves her even more. She is definitely going to do something awesome for God one day. She surely will let Him(Jesus) manifest Himself to her and through her because: ((John 14:21 NKJV) He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.") And she is growing more and more to love Jesus everyday. I am so excited even though she is so young -- God shows no favoritism and so it does not matter what her age is. I refuse to put limits on my thoughts towards God because He is an infinite God and all things are possible in Him. She will grow up in the fear (reverent respect) and admonition of the Lord... She is an awesome blessing to us and a won...

Why Did You Make Me Black Lord Lord .. Why did you make me black? Why did you make someone the world would hold back? Black is the color of dirty clothes, of grimy hands and feet... Black is the color of darkness, of tired beaten streets... Why did you give me thick lips, a broad nose and kinky hair? Why did you create someone who receives the hated stare? Black is the color of the bruised eye when someone gets hurt... Black is the color of darkness, black is the color of dirt. Why is my bone structure so thick, my hips and cheeks so high? Why are my eyes brown, and not the color of the sky? Why do people think I'm useless? How come I feel so used? Why do people see my skin and think I should be abused? Lord, I just don't understand... What is it about my skin? Why is it some people want to hate me and not know the person within? Black is what people are "Labeled" when others want to keep them away... Black is the color of shadows cast... Black is the end of t...
