Add God's Holy Scriptures are life's saver; they bring forth beautiful authenticated images of His promises and His glorious plan for our Eternal Salvation. There is no match for God's working- inspired, spirit filled-anointing power of His Gospel. Therefore, His Word is irrefutable. Men who still argue about Christ's saving grace are drawing themselves further from the truth. Spiritual chasms are manifested in the way we perceive and act on religious doctrines which is by the way is for me the most notorious fruit of unbelief. We see spiritual battles as a result of flawed/fallible indoctrination at home, in the war zones thickened by anti-Christian beliefs and worst, what is being preached at the altar. What you and I can do is pray for unadulterated, divine wisdom that only the Holy Spirit can provide such clarity & grace.Our dependence should be always in His finished work at Calvary Cross. Once we fully understand the extent of the perfect sacrifice, murmurings and every other misguided conception about Life with Him ceases. Let Him reign in your heart today. |

"Nothing Can Ever Separate Us From The Love Of God..."
Monday, September 1, 2014
Hello...September
This is my very good friend Steffi. The only one who could crack up jokes, I mean stupendous, original jokes that get s me really laughing out loud. No dire moments or experiences with her--only a good laugh and pure humor from the heart (jokes that make you feel so young, hopeful and dreamy) So, this is us Today @ Barnes & Noble. Our Labor Day Holiday is marked with non-stop sharing updates on both of our families, special events at church, exercise, work and of course the conversation that many women dread for the outcome--making the best of the aging process... I thank God for Steffi. When I seem to contradict my memory about anything, my mind just goes on the offense and I just let God know that it's okay when remembering becomes my antithesis. And I just tell the Lord to be always my guide, my anchor, when I get tongue-tied and experience writer's block. I don't know about you but I know that our God is an awesome God. He hears us; He sees every tear that falls. And He wants us to trust Him fully. It is comforting to have a very good friend that reflects your core values and can relate to you in hierarchy of personal things without initial judgment. I believe what keeps our friendship going stronger is our reverence to God's strongholds in our lives. Without our faith in Jesus' finished work at Calvary Cross, we would be lost, caving in to the popular trends. Thank You Jesus. Well, Hello September. I am off to a good start. The first day of September is just the beginning of creating many more good memories. We should not build relationships on contingencies. Instead, take a risk. If the risks didn't pay off, at least you took the chance and that's a reward in all counts. |

"Whosoever Will... Can Come Home Tonight..."
"Make Today Count"
There's only one absolute assurance to accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and lord : Eternal Home for you and me...
In Heaven, there are no more goodbyes; no more paying bills; no more sorrows and sicknesses. I don't know your personal relationship with the Lord or have been separated from God because of willful disobedience and many other factors that may have kept you feeling irrelevant & unworthy. But just come home tonight...Jesus is waiting for you to make Him your Lord & Savior.
Don't let these feelings of unworthiness & self-condemnation hamper you from knowing Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who is able to provide any need we have; Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals and Jehovah Nissi, The Lord our banner--the One to wage warfare on our behalf specially with our carnal nature.
The most painful experience one could ever have while still living on this earth is one pretending to be "all together" and happy without the Spirit of the lord as his or her constant Guide & Counselor. You may feel like "dangling above oblivion along the razor's edge of joy" but we have the God that heals your deepest wounds.
In Matthew 11:28 (KJV) says: "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

"Forever" Praise & Worship
This song has brought me more than an epiphany: listening to good Gospel music is one of the powerful blessings in regard to my walk with the Lord. It connects my heart & soul to Heaven's treasure--eternal salvation. It reminds me where to put my faith and my trust--solely to God.
The rain may come in your life in the form of doubt & fear that will begin to attack your faith. But you know who is greater than all of our weaknesses--Jesus Christ.
"He really does inhabit the praises of His people..."

One of the Best Gifts You Give Yourself...
I Caught Myself Off Guard Today... Sometimes I think God has a special way humoring my seasons of personal aches & sorrows throughout my life. It took me a very long time to finally see my own spectacles & downfalls and gave it all to Him--my past, today, and tomorrow. My rebellion of chasing over wrong desires, dreams, people & things-- rested. I no longer subscribe pragmatism, neither influenced by others' mythological/secular ideology. That's liberating & empowering. Once you surrender to the will of God, you experience innate beauty, unspeakable joy, peace that passes human understanding, infallible love that only the power of God's grace can pour them in you; in all of us if we let Him be our Only guide. So, there was a moment today I caught myself remembering a special birthday. Honestly, I couldn't be happier of how things had turned out, in retrospect. I can say this now that one of the best gifts you can give yourself is the wisdom of self-control. Saying no to fears, no to temptations and the ability to brace yourself with boundaries- is a gift in itself. Just imagine if we all practice conscientiously to not give- in to any form of infidelity, adultery, promiscuity; to the outbursts of anger & foolish pride, just to name a few? I certainly believe that having self control would foster family relationships and most of all will save us from taunting regrets. What would have happened if Moses in the book of Exodus did not strike the rock with his rod? His growing impatience that has led him to lose his self control could have been prevented. Easy for us to point a finger or judge--we weren't even there to see how Moses could have been pestered by constant complaints, squabbles, and murmurs of the Israelites. But in the eyes of God, losing control especially when He chose you to lead is not warranted by excuses. But God's love extends wide open--The Lord still let Moses see a glimpse of the Promised Land flowing with milk & honey as a result of losing his temper. |

"I Come To Tell You That Jesus Saves..."
It never ceases to amaze me how much a song could tell a true story of pure redemption.
Have faith of what Jesus has completed at Calvary Cross. Today I come to tell you that He is alive; that He is the only Way, the Truth and the Life. Once you have accepted Jesus in your heart as your personal Savior and Lord, the Bible says that "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things are passed away; behold, all things are new." 2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV
You may experience tribulations but these challenges will bring you assurance of victories because you will go through these trials with His grace. Isn't that an awesome promise from our God almighty not from any man-made secular doctrines and dogmas that are volatile with multifaceted changeable meanings?
Jesus Christ is the same Yesterday, Today and Forever. (Hebrews 13:8)
Today is a life-changing opportunity to make Jesus your personal Savior & Lord of your life.
I am believing in Faith that this song ministers to your soul.

Lamentations 3:22-24 KJV "It is the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not, they are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him."
Have a Blessed Wednesday
