" Great Is Thy Faithfulness..."

 The Sound of Good Music is found in Sonlife Broadcasting Center. Their Praise and Worship Team is one that moves the heart that is cold and dry. They don't compromise the choices of songs they render each time. All of their musicians are beautifully crafting their instruments like they're waiting on the trump of God...
SBN is my primary source of getting the information I need personally and spiritually. If you want deeper insights on the knowledge of the Word of God, they have programs that run 24/7 like the Message of the Cross, Insight, Frances, and Friends, Crossfire Youth Ministry, The story behind the Song and Study in the Word and of course, The Family Worship Center.
I don't usually stay more than a year or two on one Christian tv station/channel but there's something truly very special about Sonlife Broadcasting Center. I've been listening to them for almost a decade now.
Their music is phenomenal or maybe the right word to describe their music is anointing. It empowers you to worship in spirit and in truth. 
I do listen to preachers and gospel singers on other Christian channels but my heart always follows SBN. 

"On Partaking Communion..."

We're on the third Sunday that we can't congregate in Church. Our living rooms have become our sanctuary to have service via Livestream. It's true that the building is not the church. It is we, the people, are the church. Does it feel foreign or awkward having church at home especially you're the only one person in your living room watching your pastor preaching? Absolutely.

My first Sunday service at home was definitely a unique experience. I, too, dressed up like I was going to church. But I really missed human interaction and being surrounded by the atmosphere of praise and worship that is "live" right there on the stage. I can only hear myself clapping alone when I'm touched by the worship team singing my favorite songs...ON the second Sunday morning service, I don't know why I didn't change to my church clothes. That was odd for me to do that. I have always carried the torch of my mom's traditional belief that when you go to church you wear your best dress or outfit to church. And when you have something new, you wear it to church first so it will be blessed and will last longer. I've been doing that ever since in honor of my mom's belief. I actually believed it, too.

It's Palm Sunday. I woke up with a very strong sense of commitment to have a church in my living room. I got a piece of cracker and a mini glass of cranberry juice for the communion prepared. I did partake communion twice. I did first with my Grace church and then with Family Worship Center at Baton Rouge, Louisiana, both via live stream. However, it's not the same.
My heart is screaming for the normal to go back. How long would this quarantine and isolation and social guidelines stay into effect? We don't have a timeline. Only God knows when...

As I pause, this line in the song at FWC at this morning service kind of rubbed off on me..."Take the hand of the man that stilled the water, that calmed the raging sea." When we do, I know that there is no sickness or virus greater than the power of God. I will wait on the Lord; wait for the Lord for He is the answer for healing and deliverance. And we pray for a miracle that next Sunday is going to be a miracle day of a Blessed Hope.
Take good care of yourselves because we're in this great challenge Together. That's the good part and rest assured that God will see us through if we believe and you can take that to he bank of Truth.

"Where To Put Your Faith In The Midst of Coronavirus?"

Today is another great day of hope, faith, and love with the Lord. We proclaim and declare the Truth of His Word; his promises which are YES and AMEN without a tinge of doubt in our soul and not be prompted by our own fear of immortality...Even when everything that we see with our physical eyes is telling us it's a doomsday!

One of the hardest/traumatic/saddest trials Today in somebody's life is losing your child to Coronavirus. For a moment, I thought that since we're Christians and have great faith that, that trademark will exempt us, and that zeal of God's faithfulness in us will always prevail. Still does for He is Holy.

Truth and behold: my sister Remy's son, Chris, my nephew, died of Coronavirus on March 26, nine days ago at their home in New York. My brother-in-law and my other nephew Jeremiah did both CPR on Chris while my sister was witnessing the most unbearable picture of life and death situation which would probably haunt her for the rest of her life.  

You know with all of this social distancing, quarantine rules, shelter in place, wearing a mask, wearing gloves bear nothing when you're trying to save a loved one. As human beings with human hearts, we respond according to the dictates of our hearts. We forget all those protective gear. We just go and do something to save a loved one.

Since my nephew Chris died, we, as a family go the throne of Grace and Mercy of God to pray without ceasing. We can't go fly to New York just like that. Governor Cuomo is changing and adding precautionary rules. If we go, we might be quarantined for 14 days and that is bad. And we will also be contracting the virus and spreading it to others. Either way, it's beyond our power. Also traveling to New York, the epicenter of COVID 19 is highly discouraged.

So, what do you do when even until now my nephew's corpse is still on the waiting list for proper burial. Are you kidding me? Oh, yes! Funeral homes, graveyards, and tombstones are essentials nowadays as far as I know... Liquor stores are also considered essentials and some abortion clinics are still open for business. Conjuring all these premises on my mind drives me insane. Some things don't make sense and don't add up. And it is very frustrating...

Now another reality threat has encompassed us: my sister, my nephew and my brother-in-law are now showing symptoms. Do they go to the emergency now or just do home remedies till they get worse? If you see how many scores of hundreds of people lining up to the emergency hospital, you might just turn around and die at home. 

I wish for a private helicopter to transport all of them here in Texas wherein our city, the death toll is a very low number. I'm wishing a lot right now... I guess it's one of the ways I try to cope. I can't even think straight.

All I know is that in my heart of hearts that the only constant that remains true and real is the fact that we all go on our appointed time whether or not from virus, accident, cancer, rampant shooting or hopelessness in itself. So, as I'm writing this post, I'm not sure what I'm trying to accomplish here. I just know that it is now or never that we seek the Lord for everything and know he is still on the throne. When is the Lord going to intervene? I don't know. He doesn't see a lot of commotion in his churches because the churches were the first ones on their list to be called non-essential and therefore shut down for how long, that is the real battle here.

For real?

I just have this thought swirling in my mind...I imagine almost 10 million babies aborted in the U.S. and we didn't stand for their rights to be borne. Do you think that for one minute that they're not crying from their graves and whosoever among us who voted to put politicians in the Congress and in the House of the representatives that advocated their platform for abortion, for planned parenthood that we are not going to stand on Judgment Day before God?

Think again. Every vote counts come November. You better read every politician's platform and see whether they stand for Biblical principles. Then your right to vote is well executed. And God is pleased for you doing the right thing. 

Be safe and stay healthy physically and spiritually out there. I do stay at home for schools are out since Spring break. I only go out for grocery shopping once a week and just walk my dog on a sunny day down the little creek in my neighborhood. I miss my two sons and my siblings and my 84-year-old mom and my brothers and sisters in CHRIST AT CHURCH. We just communicate now through texts, zoom meetings, and facetime. This is a nightmare but how we respond to this plague says a lot of who is inside us.

"Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world." 1John 4:4 KJV

 We need all Churches of God open by Easter. I pray. Please pray with me. God is still performing miracles that we don't even see and know. We need the fivefold ministry in operation to lay hands on the sich, to minister to the brokenhearted in person not view their preachings online.
I don't know where the rest of the patrons left upholding our constitutional rights. If we remain dormant, inactive and complacent about the freedoms that were fought for us by our forefathers, what do you think will become of America the great? I think and believe that we are heading to dictatorship, socialist/communist form of government. 
We The People. In God We Trust!
God Bless
