"Time Wasters"

[25]  And I will restore or replace for you the years that the locust has eaten–

Joel 2:25 AMPC

You shouldn't have to ask God to restore the time you lost on some things.

Learn to set boundaries and stop letting people play with your time.

The devil will take the very thing you love and throw it back in your face as a distraction, if you're not careful. 

He wants you distracted, because when you are distracted, you lose time away from your goals, time away from your overall assignment. 

In Matthew 16:23 NIV

[23] Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”

Here, Jesus recognized that the devil (Satan) was using Peter to be a stumbling block, using him as a distraction away from the concerns of God, using him as a distraction away from the things of God.

So, What did Jesus Do? He called "That Spirit" out...

He said, "Get behind Me, Satan!!" Not that Peter was Satan or that Peter was a bad person, but there was a spirit operating in him that needed to be SHUT DOWN‼️

Beloved, What are you saying?

👉Set some boundaries where your time is concerned.

👉Time wasters are a real thing.

👉God shouldn't have to restore the time He has given you (for some things).

👉Stop letting people play with your time. 

👉Be a good steward over your time.

👉No More Distractions!!

👉Get Behind Us, Satan!!

👉SHUT THAT SPIRIT DOWN‼️

👉Work on your goals, work your assignment. 

Until Next Sunday.

"Warned"

#5MinutesofFocus

"Warned"

Hannah had a husband that loved her unconditionally, whether she had his child or not.

Hannah had a husband who would share with her what he had financially without being asked.

He just freely gave Hannah a double portion of what he had. Because he loved her.

1 Samuel 1:5 (NIV)

And because he loved her, He tried to understand how she was feeling. Though, there was no way he possibly could, still he tried.

Her husband, Elkanah would say to her, “Hannah, why are you weeping? Why don’t you eat? Why are you downhearted? Don’t I mean more to you than ten sons?”

1 Samuel 1:8 NIV

Looking at Hannah's life from the perspective I just carefully layed out for you...

It would seem that Hannah had the best husband, the best marriage, the best life and that's exactly WHAT I WANTED you to think.

See how easy it was for me to manipulate your thinking?

Beloved, If you're not careful social media will manipulate your thinking, manipulate you into thinking that a person's life is better than it really is.

I'm here to warn you... Don't waste your time being  jealous or envious of a lot of the stuff you see posted on social media.

When in reality, Like Hannah (some of them) are not even the only female in the relationship....

Hannah was not Elkanah's one & only...He also was married to Peninnah and had children by her (which was the accepted custom in those days). So, it was not like he was cheating, but still...

There was another person involved and she had made herself Hannah's rival, tormenting Hannah relentlessly because she had no children by Elkanah.

So, Again don't be jealous or envious of what you see on social media...You don't know the FULL behind the scenes story of that person's life.

That's why comparing ourselves to others is not wise.

2 Corinthians 10:12 NIV

For wherever there is jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry and selfish ambition), there will also be confusion (unrest, disharmony, rebellion) and all sorts of evil and vile practices.

James 3:16 AMPC

And let's face it...That kind of behavior looks cute on NO ONE.

You've  been warned.

Until Next Sunday.

"Distrusting People "

#5MinutesofFocus

"Distrusting People"

So the other disciples told Thomas, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

John 20:25 NIV

Thomas just refused to believe that the other disciples had seen Jesus...He wouldn't believe it, UNTIL he saw Jesus and the wounds he suffered for Himself.

Makes me wonder...

What Thomas had been through in his life PRIOR to becoming a disciple that would cause him to doubt, to not believe what's told to him, but he had to see it for himself ?

Seems like Thomas had a distrust of people. Seems like he had learned enough in life to know that people can and will LIE to you.

Seems like Thomas had dealt with that LYING Spirit before, in people close to him. Therefore, he was not SO QUICK to trust or believe the disciples.

Thomas was a human being just like you & me with issues he still needed to take directly to Jesus.

Because there are some hurts that only being in Jesus' presence for yourself will heal.

When you go through so much at the hands of people; them lying to you, lying on you...It's difficult to just bounce back from that mentally like nothing ever happened and be the trusting person you were before.

Jesus knowing that; came back to the house a 2nd time to show Thomas his wounds, all the places on The Cross he had been hurt by people.

Zechariah 13:6 KJV

Then Jesus tells him to stop doubting. You see, Beloved, there comes a time when IT'S  SAFE to put your doubts to rest.

Jesus was there to help Thomas who was doubting, he was there to help him see the truth and heal.

Jesus was there to help Thomas get over his distrust of people; as far as the disciples were concerned anyways...

He could trust them, it's just that mentally he couldn't process that yet...

Mentally, I know there are some things you can't process yet when it comes to trusting people...NO JUDGING HERE.

I just pray you get healed enough to see that all people are not like the ones that hurt you and made you distrustful in the 1st place.

Until Next Sunday.

11/2/25 "You Can't Afford To Miss It"

#5MinutesofFocus 

"You Can't Afford To Miss It"

[18] One day when her child was older, he went out to help his father, who was working with the harvesters. [19] Suddenly he cried out, “My head hurts! My head hurts!” His father said to one of the servants, “Carry him home to his mother.”

2 Kings 4:18-19 NLT

HIS MOTHER was a woman who operated heavy in the gift of discernment. So much so, that she discerned just from observing him that Elisha was indeed a real man of God.

Sure of what she was picking up in her spirit, she decided to build a room (onto her house) for the man of God whenever he was in town.

Now, The devil didn't show up during the building of the room...But one day, when her son was out of the field helping his father, the devil attacked his head.

SOMEBODY: Your child is having "random" headaches that just happen without any triggers or warning signs.

PRAY...Don't ever let your guard down when it comes to your children.

PRAY without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (KJV)

Never stop praying. 

1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NLT)

Parents: Pray over your children because when the enemy can't get to you...He will come for your seed.

When he can't stop what you're currently working on, what you are currently building....He will go after what you  already have accomplished.

And what greater accomplishment is there than motherhood, than fatherhood. 

The mother in 2 Kings 4 was operating heavy in the gift of discernment, but the one day she really needed the gift...She missed it!!

PRAY...Never rely on the gift more than you rely on the God who gave you the gift, because you can be gifted and still miss it...

You can be anointed and still miss it. Just ask the prophet Samuel. He missed it, thinking that Eliab was the next king when he wasn't.

1 Samuel 16

PRAY.... Because you can't afford to miss it when it comes to your children's mental health etc.

Until Next Sunday.

10/26/25 "Cherishing Sin "

10/26/25

#5MinutesofFocus 

"Cherishing Sin"

What does your heart look like? Remember, God looks at the heart and NOT the outward appearance according to 1 Samuel 16:7

Are you cherishing something in your heart that came about because of sin?

If so, You're right...God is not listening, He’s not listening to your prayers because of the sin that's in your heart, the sin that you are cherishing. 

---

📖 Verse: Psalm 66:18 (NIV)

“If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.”

---

🔍 Word Study: "Cherish"

     What does it mean to cherish sin?      

- In The Original Hebrew: The word translated as “cherish” comes from a root meaning to regard, consider, or give place to. It implies intentionality—not just having sin, but holding it close.

 - To cherish sin is to protect it, justify it, or refuse to release it.

 - It’s not about struggling with sin, but clinging to it knowingly.

---

- The psalmist is saying that if he had knowingly held onto sin, God would not have responded to his prayers.

• Because cherishing sin creates a spiritual blockage. It’s not that God is unwilling to listen, but that unrepentant sin distorts the relationship.

---

•Personal accountability:

-  “If I…” shows the psalmist owns his spiritual condition.

- Because intimacy with God requires honesty and honesty is the 1st step to you taking accountability. 

- GOOD NEWS:

- Repentance restores access: When sin is confessed and released, the barrier is removed.

So, Ask God to show you that thing, that time in your life that you are cherishing, that is sin. REPENT & SEEK to let it go. Make room for God to listen again.

Until Next Sunday.

"Goals"

[28] “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” [29]  “Come,” Jesus said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. [30] But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

Matthew 14:28-30 NIV 

Stay focused on your goals and don't worry about the wind. Whoever watches the wind will not plant -meaning you will not take the time to sow, to invest in what you say is important to you for fear of the wind- fear of what conditions are like, fear of what your circumstances will be like.

Ecclesiastes 11:4 NIV

SOMEBODY Else: You're worried about the when...

When will it happen, now that I have sown, been sowing, been investing, taking one step at a time.

Peter messed up when he took his eyes off Jesus and started concerning himself with what the wind was doing. Up until that moment, he was taking it one step at a time, making it happen.

Peter was walking on the water. Peter was doing something that only Jesus knew he was capable of achieving, if given a chance. So, He invited him to "Come."

Beloved,

There are some things, some goals that only God knows you are capable of achieving.  There will be days, when the people who know you best won't believe in you or your goals. There will even be days, when you doubt your own capability.

Just remember, You can do

ALL things  through  Christ who strengthens you.

Philippians 4:13 NIV

You are not sinking, it just feels that way. Keep going until you reach your goals.

 I BELIEVE IN YOU. 

Until Next Sunday.

"Fearfully & Wonderfully"

[5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart....

Jeremiah 1:5 NIV

Keep in mind that God knew you before you were in your mother's womb just like He told Jeremiah  and still in all that time, from then up until now...

God says, The only thing He has ever called you was fearfully and wonderfully.  Where do you think David got those exact words from?

In Psalm 139

David was just saying back to God, what God had said over him, and you should do the same.

I know this world has labeled you as this and that, placed you in a box and tried to stereotype you because of your race, calling you names that would be unfit for a dog.

People that should love you and be the biggest supporter of "whatever" you do have also called you names that fall beneath your character. 

Even the doctors have diagnosed some of you as this and as that....

Still God says, The only 2 words (names) I have ever called you were fearfully and wonderfully any other words, any other names were not of me, or approved by me.

Beloved,

Do like David and ONLY call yourself what God calls you. YOU CAN STOP A LOT OF WHAT PEOPLE CALL YOU by quoting back to them what YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER has said about you.

Build your faith up (Jude 1:20 NKJV) and speak into the atmosphere:

Psalms 139:13-14 NIV

[13] For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. [14] I praise you because I AM fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Now, Act like you know, hold your head up like you know.

YOU ARE FEARFULLY & WONDERFULLY made.

"Getting Prepared!!"

In Psalms 23:

David says to the Lord,

"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies"....And if anybody knows about getting prepared in the presence of his enemies, it would be David!! 

Beloved,

God is preparing a table for you, but at the same time....He is preparing YOU for the table. That's where your enemies come in.

God is using your enemies to stretch you, so that mentally you will be able to process the kind of peace He is going to cause you to enter into once you make it to the table.

You will have peace right in the face of  the enemies that have bothered you in the past, once you make it to the table.

Spiritually this table represents the gathering of your thoughts, it represents you finally getting your mind together and being able to relax & enjoy the blessings you already have without any guilt being present. 

And your enemies, they will be there as a sign that God is pleased with your ways -meaning your conduct, your choices, your heart posture-how you live, not just what you say.

Proverbs 16:7 NKJV

This I Decree (Job 22:28)

In Jesus Name,

Amen 🙏

#5MinutesofFocus 

"Facing Goliath"

David ran and stood over Goliath (the Philistine). He took hold of Goliath's sword, drew it from the sheath & cut off his head.

1 Samuel 17:51 NIV

Goliath represents-that issue, that ungodly spirit, that generational curse that needs to be CUT OFF in your family.  ✂️ 

God says, The only way David was able to cut off Goliath's head was he had to face him. It wasn't enough that he knocked that ungodly spirit out with just a sling & a rock...HE HAD TO FINISH THE JOB & CUT OFF HIS HEAD!!

It's time you faced YOUR GOLIATH...YOU HAVE LEFT TOO MUCH UNSAID, TOO MUCH UNDONE both physically and in the realm of the Spirit. 

It's time you faced "that thing" you know is an issue in your family. You can't keep running from it, acting like it doesn't exist.

As the Philistine (as Goliath) moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.

1 Samuel 17:48 NIV

David was able to push pass any 2nd thoughts trying to play out in his mind and attack the issue that had been attacking his family.

You see, David being willing to face Goliath was about more than just him defeating the giant that had defied the living GOD. David had to do this for his family.

SOMEBODY: DO IT FOR YOUR FAMILY!!

David’s older brothers were a part of Saul’s Israelite Army (1 Samuel 17:13-14) and they were all terrified of Goliath according to 1 Samuel 17:11 NIV

So, If David had not faced Goliath (that ungodly spirit of fear) would have continued terrorizing his brothers, continued terrorizing his family.

Beloved,

It's time for you & God to come up with a strategy both physically & spiritually that will bring healing, bring deliverance from that issue that has gone on too long in your family. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! CUT IT OFF!!

We come against generational curses. IN JESUS NAME!!

Seek God in prayer.

Until Next Sunday.

"Taking Baby Steps"

[21] So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. [22] Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

Genesis 2:21-22 NIV

Adam was the 1st man and the only man to be operated on supernaturally. Therefore, His body didn't require time to heal. He woke up, was introduced to Eve and they went on with their lives from there.

Keep in mind also that this was before THE FALL, before Adam & Eve disobeyed God....So, There was NO PAIN (Genesis 3).

Unfortunately, Now you and I have to deal with the pain of so many things. Most of the time, we don't have the luxury of just pushing through, EVEN THOUGH WE TRY!! We try to push through and keep going; risking a possible relapse, a possible breakdown etc.

Truth be told though, You and I, we have not been operated on supernaturally like Adam and so, we feel pain, and so, we need time to heal physically and inwardly.

Physically and inwardly there is still so much that's unhealed, so much that we need to pray about, we need to work on, and in some cases, consult with a doctor, or therapist about.

Beloved, 

God promised to restore us to health and heal our wounds (Jeremiah 30:17), but the 1st step towards being healed, being whole, being restored is ours to take in the natural.

So, Take the necessary steps, BELOVED. Let's do it together...Let's heal.

"Without You"

[61] The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.” [62] And Peter went outside and wept bitterly.

Luke 22:61-62 NIV

We have all had a moment, I'm sure; a moment where we (as Christians) remember something God warned us about AFTER we went and did "the thing."

Jesus warned Peter that he would disown him 3xs, but Peter being so sure of himself and of his relationship with Jesus said that he would never!!

[33] Peter replied, “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.” [34]  “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”

Matthew 26:33-34 NIV

How many times, Beloved, have you went and found yourself doing the very thing you said you wouldn't?

Words saying what you wouldn't do are easy to come by UNTIL pressure is applied, UNTIL you have to back up what you're mouth has been saying.

I pray we be stronger Christians in the days ahead..

Not perfect, but stronger as we stand for THE ONE we say we believe in.

Because the world is looking, but more importantly....JESUS IS LOOKING at us. The breaking is real, may the tears be real and the repentance be even realer in the days ahead.

Father God,

We repent for ways that we may have KNOWINGLY let you down, knowingly disobeyed your warning, thinking we know ourselves, thinking we know what we will & will not do. Truth be told,

WE KNOW NOTHING, we don't even know ourselves....Without You.

"The Crisis"

“O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

Matt 14:31 NKJV

Don't despise the crisis you find yourself in...

Sometimes it takes a crisis to determine who really believes you in, who really has faith in you.

Here in Mark 5:38-40 (NIV)...They laughed at Jesus when (in the midst of what they thought was a crisis) He said, "The child is not dead, but asleep." They laughed because they didn't believe in Him,  they didn't have faith in Him to be able to made good on what He said.

And Beloved, Some of the very ones right now in your inner circle....They don't believe in you, they don't have faith in you. Secretly, They  think you can't make good on what you're always talking about you're going to do.

They think you are just a "Dreamer" like Joseph's brothers thought of him and are trying to do EVERYRHING in their own power to sabotage your progress.

Genesis 37:19-28 NIV

Jesus understood the games people play...How they can seem to be on board with you UNTIL you say or do something they don't understand and then it becomes a laughing matter.

So, He put them out, and ONLY kept with Him those He knew had the faith to see a miracle happen.

Beloved, Let Jesus be your example of how to make it happen:

1). Remove those who are faithless, those who laugh (who don't take you seriously).

2). ONLY bring with you, bring & keep close to you people whose faith matches (or exceeds) your own.

It's not too late to make it happen. The child was not dead, and neither are your dreams.

#5MinutesofFocus

"DIVINELY PLACED "

[11] Teach me Your way, O Lord, And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.

Psalms 27:11 NJKV

God is going to make your path smooth not because of anything you have done, but He's going to do it because of your enemies. God wants to show Himself strong to your enemies. So, You're about to become a testimony more than you already are.

So, Let Him teach you, let Him lead you...Even though, what you're going through right now is rough. It will be worth it to see what God does in the lives of others, because of your willingness to obey.

I'm sure, Joseph in Genesis 37 (NKJV): When He was in the pit didn't feel like where he was, had anything to do with what he had been dreaming, but it was ALL DIVINELY CONNECTED.

Joseph had been DIVINELY PLACED in that pit by his brothers own hands, positioned to get to Egypt unknowingly by his brothers own hands.

So, Let God teach you, let God lead you, move you divinely along. You won't stay in the pit forever, your dreams have not been for nothing or in vain, but the impact of it all will be greater than what you could've ever imagined.

Joseph knew he would one day be in a position of power.

He just didn't know how much power, or the number of people, besides his immediate family that would be impacted (Gen 37:18-20).

Why? Because what God has planned will always be greater than what our human eyes can see, or our human ears can hear (pick up on perceive) or mind conceive. 1 Corin 2:9 NIV

"Unstoppable"

[14] I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Psalms 139:14 NIV

God designed you to know within yourself that you are indeed fearfully & wonderfully made. You shouldn't need anybody other than the Holy Spirit reaffirming that.

The approval of people is good at times, but it shouldn't be something YOU NEED, something YOU ARE RELYING ON, because just when you need it most, their approval might not be there.

 

But Oh, when all the approval you need is coming from the inside of you, from the Holy Spirit who lives in you...People's approval or not, you have EVERYTHING you need. You are unstoppable.

Of course, the devil will accuse you of not being enough, not being good enough. After all, He is the accuser of the brethen -

Rev 12:10 (KJV), but that's when the Holy Spirit will step in and remind you, "You are fearfully and wonderfully made" and I

pray that your response will be NOT to people, but to the Holy Spirit inside you.

I pray your response will be,

"I know that full well....

Lord, I know that full well."

Never let the devil destroy the confidence God has given you.

"The Truth Hurts"

Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.

Matthew 26:75 NIV

It's one thing to hurt over a lie that was told on you....

But when you're hurting over THE TRUTH that was spoken to you, that's something totally different.

In the text, Peter got reminded of THE TRUTH, Jesus had spoken to him and it hurt.

The truth hurts, because the truth forces you to face reality.

And some of ya'll are so afraid of  facing reality, afraid of what you will discover within yourself, if you let yourself honestly see you.

Peter discovered that he wasn't as BOLD in his faith as he thought he was.

Peter discovered that he could easily be pressured into disowning Jesus, pressured into turning his back on Jesus and it hurt.

Beloved, What truth are you yet to face?

If I had to guess, I would say, you're not as strong as you think you are or you pretend to be.

You have a weakness, a thorn in your flesh that you're constantly fighting. (2 Corin 12:6-9) Because, if you don't....

You will discover how easy it is for you to lie, for you to cuss, for you to go back on Your Word and completely deny your faith in Jesus etc....

All the things Peter did. (See Matt 26) that makes him so relatable to those of us, who know we are not perfect, but in need of God's  New Mercies EVERYDAY.

Lam 3:22-23 KJV

You see, Beloved, Peter's reaction to being told THE TRUTH about him disowning Jesus should be a reminder to us all of just what it would be like, if God EVER decided to UNCOVER US and just let us fall, if he ever decided to stop being our support system in this crazy world in which we live.

Think About It and be grateful for the time He has given you to see yourself, correct yourself, better yourself.  To God be the glory!!! Amen 🙏

I LOVE this scripture so much because Jesus took the time to look carefully at the people, at what was going on. He looked carefully and with understanding.....BEFORE opening His mouth to speak on the situation.

How I wish people would follow Jesus example and CHOOSE to look with understanding or seek to get some understanding about what's going on with people BEFORE feeling qualified to speak on the situation.

And with all you have gotten, get understanding (discernment, comprehension, and interpretation).

Proverbs 4:7 AMPC

If people would just seek to get understanding, to get discernment, to get comprehension, to get an interpretation of what their seeing, BEFORE speaking; just imagine the hurt that could be avoided.

Jesus looked at the people, they were weeping and wailing loudly, and CHOSE NOT to just dismiss their pain like it wasn't happening, but when He did speak on it, after looking (assessing) the situation with understanding.....

He let them know that what they were in an uproar about, what they were weeping about was not a dead situation.

Mark 5:39 AMPC

It's not over yet. You had your moment....Now, Dry your tears.

Until Next Sunday.

"Honor Your Own Uniqueness"

"Honor Your Own Uniqueness"

Can somebody tell me...Why do we feel the urge to always check out the way another person is doing, what they do?

It's as if, checking out the way they do it is suppose to "somehow" help us in what we're doing.

But here's what I love about the #ApostlePaul....When #God saved him, and MADE HIM to be an Apostle...

In scripture the Apostle Paul says:

15 But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace, was pleased

16 to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response was not to consult any human being.

17 I did not go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went into Arabia. Later I returned to Damascus.

Galatians 1:15-17 NIV

His IMMEDIATE  response was not to consult any human being...He didn't go see those who were Apostles before him. That WHOLE Part!!!

Though they had been walking in their calling as an Apostle much longer than him....

👉 He didn't look to them for a pattern to do what he had been called to do.

👉 In other words, He didn't go check them out.

👉 Instead, He trusted the God that called  him and he began to travel, to move, to operate in what he had been called to.

👉 I hope that right there, frees somebody.

👉 Stop trying to pattern yourself after people, looking to see how they do, what they do.

Have you ever stop to think that what works for them, might not work for you?

Yes, It's okay to have #mentors and to learn from them, but EVEN THEN ...You can't do EVERYTHING they do.

God made YOU #unique in your existence for a reason. He doesn't need you to be EXACTLY like anyone else.

The way they lead, conduct business, do this & that is unique to who God made them to be.

For Example: I love Prophetess #JuanitaBynum and consider her a great mentor, among others...BUT I KNOW, I can't do what she does, the way she does it AND THAT'S OKAY.

Honor your own uniqueness.

Trust the God that #called you and get out there.

YOUR GIFT will make room for you.

Proverbs 18:16 NKJ

So, Take your eyes off them....

Comparing yourself is NOT wise.

Until Next Sunday.

"Let Nothing Stop You!!"

[24] So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed and pressed around him. [25] And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. [26] She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. [27] When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, [28] because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.”

Mark 5:24-28 NIV

The woman with the issue of blood didn't let the fact that people were talking about her, calling her "unclean, the fact that she had no money, but had a condition, a situation going on in her body. She didn't let it stop her.

She didn't let the fact that she wasn't supposed to be out in public, she didn’t let the fact that she was both physically and mentally exhausted stop her. She didn't let the fact that all she had left was a recurring thought in her head stop her.

A recurring thought that if she just could touch Jesus' clothes, EVERYTHING she had been forced to deal with the last 12 years would be healed.

Was it faith or just a crazy thought? All she knew for sure was that it was worth the risk.

Beloved,

Is what you need worth the risk? If so, like the woman with issue of blood let nothing stop you, NOT people, NOT finances, NOT your own physical body, NOT circumstances, etc....

Nothing!!

"Take The Test!!"

[37] Suddenly a storm struck the lake. Waves started splashing into the boat, and it was about to sink. [38] Jesus was in the back of the boat with his head on a pillow, and he was asleep. His disciples woke him and said, “Teacher, don't you care that we're about to drown?”

Mark 4:37-38 CEV

Many of you are like the disciples, After all the storms God has already brought you through. How can you look now and question His concern for your well- being based on ONE storm you don't understand?

Maybe, God is silent now because this storm is your test. The other storms, He knew you weren't ready for them...The other storms would have devoured what little faith you had. So, He stepped in quickly and commanded it to cease.

But not this time, He is testing you, testing the maturity of your faith, testing how well you know Him, testing you to see if you really trust Him.

So, Does He care? Of course, He does. Don't let one storm, how feel in the face of the storm cause you to panic and believe He does not care. NOTHING could be further from the truth.

[12] As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance [13] and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” [14] When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. [15] One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. [17] Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 

Luke 17:12-15, 17 NIV

Jesus healed 10 lepers that called out to Him for help, but as soon as they got what they wanted from Him...ONLY one of the 10 was thankful.

Many of you are upset because you went out of your way to help someone and they never even thought to say, "Thank You."

They just took what you did for them for granted, they took YOU for granted and went on with their life like you never invested your time, your energy, and in some cases; your money into making sure they would be okay. YOU FEEL USED!!

Remember that feeling the next time your prayers get answered and you know you're not worthy of His grace, of His mercy, let alone His provision. 

Father God,

Thank you for healing us, cleansing us up out of some of the ugliest situations, ugliest conditions even though we're not worthy. IN JESUS NAME, Amen.

"BOTH"

[17] Jesus arrived in Bethany. There he learned that Lazarus had already been dead and in the tomb for four days. [18] Bethany was about two miles from Jerusalem. [19] Many Jews had come there to comfort Martha and Mary about their brother. [20] Martha heard that Jesus was coming, and she went out to meet him. But Mary stayed at home.

John 11:17-20 lCB

Many Jews had come to comfort Martha AND Mary....  Because they were BOTH hurting, they were BOTH grieving in their own way.

In the midst of losing their brother,  Martha had the strength to go out and meet with Jesus, while Mary just wanted to stay home.

Whose to say that either choice was wrong?

Martha met with Jesus, but Mary stayed home....

There will be times when you don't have the strength to meet with Jesus, when you don't have the strength to pray. Your spirit is willing, but your body (flesh) is weak.

Matt 26:41

That's why the bible tells us to PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER....There will be times when you need somebody interceding for you, when you need somebody praying for you.

There will be times when you are so hurt, so grieved that the only way you will experience  some form of healing is through somebody else's prayer.

Confess and acknowledge how you have offended one another and then pray for one another to be instantly healed, for tremendous power is released through the passionate, heartfelt prayer of a godly believer!

James 5:16 TPT

God designed us to need EACH OTHER because at any given time, I could be Martha and you could be Mary or we BOTH could be going through something at the same time.

Therefore, Who are we to judge "the way" any of us are handling this life? Let's just confess, acknowledge how we have offended one another (COME CLEAN) and pray.

Let's just pray for each other.

"Don't Judge A Book"

[27] Just then his disciples came back (from the store - according to John 4:7-8 MSG). They were shocked. They couldn’t believe he was talking with that kind of a woman. No one said what they were all thinking, but their faces showed it.

John 4:27 MSG

In the text, The disciples had formed an opinion about the woman Jesus was talking to based solely on the fact that she was a Samaritan. 

They didn't know anything else about her, they hadn't bothered to talk to her.

Jesus was the only one talking to her. He was willing to give a her chance even though it went against the social and religious norms of that time.

Never let society, social media or anything else decide who you can and cannot communicate with.

Forming a negative opinion  about SOMEBODY IN YOUR HEAD and letting it show on your face is not of God. That's why Jesus had sent the disciples to the store, He knew how they would respond.

Put yourself in that person's position and try not to judge, because we all need Jesus in one way or another when the wells of life run dry.

She didn't have anybody else she could talk to who was really hers, who was really there for her. The man she was living with certainly wasn't and Jesus called her out on it in John 4:16-18 NIV

She had lost pieces of herself being in one failed  relationship after another, after another. So, She needed Jesus more than the physical water she thought she was there to receive, initially. 

Jesus who had left Judea, went back to Galilee and came through Samaria to a town called Sychar just to be there for her.

John 4:3-4 NIV

She needed Him, more than she needed her next drink (of water), more than she needed to be in a relationship (at that time). She needed the living water, getting to know Him & receiving Him as The Messiah her soul has been longing for could provide. 

Can you relate? 

If so, Don't judge a book by its cover because we all are uniquely flawed.

Enough with the looks the disciples were giving her.

Study John 4 for yourself!!

"Wounds"

[17] But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the Lord, ‘because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares.’

Jeremiah 30:17 NIV

Beloved,

God is not the one that hurt you. He's not the one that wounded you. He is the one that was wounded for you.

[4] Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. [5] But he was wounded for our transgressions...

Isaiah 53:4-5 KJV

So, You can open up to Him. You can let your guard down, there's no need to lie or try to save face.

The same way, Jesus showed a doubting Thomas His wounds in John 20. It's time for so many of you to do the same.... Show Jesus where you have been hurt and reveal who it is that hurt you.

Reveal it and release it....

It's time to let all that go or what He went through on THE CROSS would all just be in vain.

He didn't die with your sins on His body and resurrect after 3 days just for you to keep hurting. 

Some of you are keeping the hurt alive on purpose, because the pain is so familiar, you don't know who you'd be without it.

TIME OUT FOR PLAYING the victim. Jesus is standing at the door (of your heart) Rev 3:20 and He's knocking...Let Him in, because a lot of what you're struggling to deal with is inner hurt, pain on the inside, wounds.

Wounds be healed!!

Stop seeing yourself as an outcast. You are Zion - prophetically you represent hope & restoration, and you are loved.

"Hey Dad!!"

[21] Mary will give birth to a son, and you (Joseph) are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” [22] All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: [23] “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). [24] When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. [25] But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

Matt 1:21-25 NIV

Hey Dad,

God assigned you to that child, one by one individually. God assigned you to those children and I know He is proud of the way you have stepped up throughout the years and really taken YOUR ASSIGNMENT seriously.  

Being a dad is NOT your role nor has it been your role because a role is something you can PLAY until you get tired and decide to switch up.

Thank you for NOT switching up, for NOT PLAYING about those that God has assigned to you. 

But like Joseph, You named them, you claimed them, you covered them and are still covering them to this day. The world wouldn't know their name apart from you, Dad, without you, Dad, because you named them, you gave them their identified- the way they were to be identified throughout this life.

Just like Joseph did for Jesus....Before people ever knew Jesus was the Son of God, they knew him 1st as Jesus, the carpenter's son. You did the same. 

Matt 13:55 NIV

You understood your assignment concerning them and you delivered!! They are so blessed to have you.

"Imagine"

[27] When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, “Son of David, have mercy on us!” [28] And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” 

[29] Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it unto you."

Matthew 9:27-28 NKJV, Verse 29 KJV 

If Jesus touched your eyes....

Imagine the things you could see, things that you wouldn't have had the privilege to see otherwise.

Imagine how one touch from His hand could change your perspective on EVERYTHING!!

One touch and two blind men eyes were opened FOREVER to the world around them.

But BEFORE He touched them He needed to know if they believed He was able to do it.

👉Start telling God how much you believe in Him.

👉Start telling God you know that He is able to do it ,even if you're sitting in the dark (with no electricity) and your bank account is in the negative. 

👉Start telling Him NOW when you can't see your way...Because faith isn’t faith when you can see your way to getting everything you want.

Just the opposite, Faith is faith when you are truly walking by faith, living by faith and not by sight.

2 Corin 5:7 KJV & NIV

So I say this to SOMEBODY  because you need to hear it:

Stop relying so much on what you can see...You are blind in so many ways and you don't even know it. 

At least the two men in the text knew they were blind and STILL Jesus touch their eyes and left them with these words,

"According to YOUR FAITH be it unto you" -meaning whatever happens is going to happen because of your faith...It's about your faith, nothing else.

"That Jordan"

[10] Elisha sent a messenger to say to him, “Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed.” [11] But Naaman went away angry and said, “I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, wave his hand over the spot and cure me of my leprosy. [14] So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored....

2 Kings 5:10-11, 14 NIV

I'm sure, you know by now, that nothing in life is automatic and nothing ever really comes easy.

THERE'S ALWAYS A PRICE, even if you are not the one who paid the price.

So, Let your anger subside and get on up and do what you have to do. I know you think like Naaman that things should have went a certain way....Well it didn't. Things didn't go the way you expected, but that doesn't mean YOU HAVE TO STOP GOING.

DON'T STOP GOING....

Don't quit on yourself. Put your personal feelings aside and show up at "That Jordan", at that place God has assigned you to show up in order to make change happen in your own life.

Be the change you want to see, show up, and do the very thing  you really don't want to do....

Do it for you...

To change you.

To heal you.

To be obedient to what God is saying to you and for you in this season.

"That Jordan" in Naaman's life was a nasty river that he definitely wasn't prepared to dip himself in....

And some of you, you're not prepared to dive into that certain area of your life, you're not prepared to do a deep dive into that issue you're having, neither was Naaman, but he had to in order to get healed of leprosy. 

Beloved,

You have to do it in order to get healed, in order to see things change.

"Warning Sent"

[19] While Pilate was sitting on the judge’s seat, his wife sent him this message: “Don’t have anything to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him.

Matthew 27:19 NIV

Pilate's wife had a dream and in the dream it was revealed to her that Jesus was innocent.

Her husband was involved in judging Jesus...So, God sent a dream to her as a warning. 

In the dream, she saw herself suffering and so she sent a message to her husband saying, "Don't have anything thing to do with that innocent man."

Just as He did for Jesus...God knows how to get the attention of those judging you. 

It's not that you're a bad person....YOU'RE INNOCENT and because you're innocent, the warning has been sent and they know, if they have anything to do with you, there will be consequences. 

You see, Beloved, God is fighting for you. You don't have to defend yourself.

The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace and remain at rest.

 Exodus 14:14 AMPC

I Decree & Declare: 

YOU SHALL HOLD YOUR PEACE. YOU SHALL REAMAIN AT REST....

But if they still insist on judging you in spite of your innocence...They will suffer.

There will be no peace & no rest for anybody who gets involved with judging those God has marked, "Innocent."

Pilate didn't listen to his wife and had to learn the hard way.

And so, Pilate's fate after presiding over Jesus' trial is somewhat uncertain, as historical accounts vary. 

Here are some possibilities:

Removal from office: Pilate was reportedly dismissed as governor of Judea around 36 CE after complaints from the Samaritans about his harsh rule.

Ordered back to Rome: He was sent to Rome to stand trial for cruelty and oppression.

Possible suicide: According to the historian Eusebius, Pilate may have taken his own life on orders from Emperor Caligula.

His exact fate remains unclear. 😢 🤔

Warning Sent...

"Unresponsive"

Do not quench [subdue, or be unresponsive to the working and guidance of] the [Holy] Spirit. 

1 Thessalonians 5:19 AMP

God let me notice this scripture in the Amplified Version of the bible about 2 weeks ago now, and it has really stayed with me, stayed in my spirit.

For me, It's the part about being #UNRESPONSIVE...

That's what really got me.

So much so, that I had to go in prayer and ask God to forgive me for all the times, I have been unresponsive to the leading and guiding of the Holy Spirit. 

You see, As human beings, we are so quick to say that God's  not doing anything or say that our prayers are not being answered. 

But what if...You were unresponsive the whole time?

You were unresponsive to the leading and guiding of the Holy Spirit.  Therefore, to the Holy Spirit you appeared DEAD and no longer in need of assistance. 

#ThinkAboutThis: For 4 days, Lazarus appeared DEAD to all those who knew him, so they left him in the grave.

John 11

Simply put: If you don't respond to the Holy Spirit, He will leave you there in that situation unattended. 

You see, As wise as the Holy Spirit is... He STILL requires that you respond to Him when He speaks.

In 1 Samuel 3,  Samuel was young and he didn't yet recognize the voice of God, but yet he responded EVERY time he was called. True, it was the wrong response, but yet he responded.

So, God (the Holy Spirit) kept calling him, and calling him, and calling him until Samuel (with Eli's help) finally was able to give the correct response.

Samuel said, 

 "Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.” 

1 Samuel 3:9 NIV 

So, How can you honestly say, God is not doing anything or your prayers are not being answered?

When you havent responded with a "Yes, Lord, Speak Lord..."

It's all about acknowledging His voice and you haven't done that.

You haven't done anything to show Holy Spirit that you're listening and you're at least TRYING to be responsive, be obedient to His voice.

#Mothers, Let's do better!!

[10] Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) [11] Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

John 18:10-11 NIV 

Beloved,

You can't keep fighting the same way you used to. It's  time to put away your old weapons of war. (1 Corin 13:11) and mature in the way that you think and handle certain things. 

God is calling you to put away your old weapons of war and pick up the sword of His Word. 

You see, Peter was only able to physically cut one man's ear, but had things been handle differently....

[10] One of you routs a thousand, because the Lord your God fights for you, just as he promised.

Joshua 23:10 NIV

You can slay more devils in the spirit realm than you ever will in the physical. 

So, Put away your sword, the sword that many of you are accustomed to and pick up His Word (the bible) cuts sharper than ANY two-edged sword according to Hebrews 4:12 NKJV

●His Word cuts....

That's one of the spiritual weapons you should be using. The other spiritual weapon being prayer.

The bible says in 2 Kings 6:17 (NIV) Elisha prayed that the eyes of his servant be opened, so he could see that there were more for them,than there were against them.

●Prayer reveals the truth of what's around you. 

●Prayer reveals who is for you and who is against you.

●The bible says, Jesus rose early in the morning to pray. 

[35] Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. 

Mark 1:35 NIV

●The bible says, Jesus often withdrew to PLACES (plural) to pray which means He had more than one place where He would go and pray.

[16] But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed. 

Luke 5:16 NIV

●The bible says, Jesus spent all night in prayer to the Father.

Luke 6:12 NIV

Jesus was able to identify Judas out of the 12 as being the one who would betray Him because the time He had spent in prayer. 

●Again, Prayer reveals, shines a spot light on, It ELIMINATES (in your spirit) what you should know and His Word it cuts...

These are the weapons you should be using. Grow up, Pay attention, and put away your old weapons of war, that weapon of choice, and fight a new way, a better way, and see results you desire.

"Where Is Your Water Pot?"

[27] Just then Jesus' disciples came back. They were shocked. They couldn’t believe he was talking with that kind of a woman. No one said what they were all thinking, but their faces showed it. [28-30] The woman took the hint and left. In her confusion she left her water pot....

John 4:27-30 MSG

God says,

It doesn't matter how they look at you, it doesn't matter what they think of you...

GO BACK and GET what you left behind because of them, because of people and their opinion.

God says,

Even though, many may be judging you...Remember, They're opinion (though it's appears plural) is just one person's opinion and one by one they will be removed.

In John 8: One by one, 

They scattered all those who judged, who accused the woman they bought before Jesus. The bible says, 

[9]  At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 

John 8:9 NIV

You will be still standing, long after those who accused you, judged you, looked at you funny, thought what they thought about you are gone, have disappeared.

Now will be no different.

Beloved,

It's safe to go back and get it, to reclaim what you left behind in that place. Her waterpot wasn't just where you kept her water, but it was where she quenched her (natural) thirst, kept herself and her family hydrated. It was a vital part of her day to day routine.

Go back and get that thing that was a part of you, a part your routine, a part of what kept you going. Don't let them take your livelihood. Don't give them the satisfaction they're looking for.

"It's Time To Be Restored"

[5] Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.

Psalm 30:5 NKJV

And then, The bible says in Nehemiah 8:10 (NIV) that the joy of THE LORD is your strength.

I'm here to tell somebody that NOT only is the joy of the Lord your strength, but the Lord who is none other than Jesus Christ....He is your joy.

So, For those of you weeping, waiting for things to change, waiting to feel better emotionally, and for joy to come in the morning.

You're not waiting on your situation to change, you're not waiting on circumstances to get better. What  you're really waiting on is not a thing at all, but a person.

You're waiting on Jesus (your joy) to come in the morning.

So, Get your eyes off of the situation, off of the circumstances and keep calling on His name, keep calling on the name of Jesus.

Because, Today is #Sunday which means Jesus has already been through, walked through more pain and devastation this Passover weekend than you ever will (Read 👀 Matt 26 AMPC) and yet He rose, giving you the victory, giving you your joy back, your strength, your smile back etc.

[21] And so, he will make you happy and give you something to smile about.

Job 8:21 CEV

If you keep calling on His name, the name of Jesus.

Depression can't hold you, grief can't destroy you, anxiety can't overtake you. You are not about to breakdown, you're about to breakthrough. 

Sunday is here. Weeping endured UNTIL the morning, but NOW welcome your joy.

Welcome Jesus from the ground UP.... He got up!!

Beloved, He got up!!

Until Next Sunday.

"The Good"

I spoke hastily when I said, “The Lord has deserted me.” For in truth, you did hear my prayer and came to rescue me.

Psalm 31:22 TPT

Lord, I’m left speechless and I have no excuse, so I’ll not complain any longer. Now I know you’re the one who is behind it all.

Psalm 39:9 TPT

You owe God an apology now that you can see that it was HIM all along. It was HIM who was behind it all, making it all work together for the good.

Romans 8:28 NIV

"The good" you're walking in now... It took a lot to get to where you are now, but you are finally walking in it.

You made it through difficulties that would have caused someone else to bail, to quit, to give up.

Take a moment to appreciate where you are, to Thank God you're not where you used to be or who you used to be. The things God allowed you to go through like Jacob it has birthed a significant change in you.

God allowed Jacob to wrestle all night with an angel of the Lord until he was left with evidence that he had indeed been blessed, been changed.

#Jacob received a name change...He went from Jacob to Israel and he was left with a limp...

His walk had definitely changed.

Genesis 32

#ThinkAboutIt!! 🤔

How have you changed?

How have you been blessed?

Was it worth it, after all you've been through to be this new person now?

Beloved,

God had good things "the good"  that He keeps ready, prepared for you, but you had to walk into it  in His timing.

[9]  But, on the contrary, as the Scripture says, What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him...1 Corin 2:9 AMPC

So, Apologize to God for all the times you misspoke, all the times you complained and accused him of not caring, accused Him of not doing enough. Apologize because He has not deserted you.

He is the reason you are #blessed. He is the reason you are #changed for the better and walking in "the good." It has not been withheld like you thought.

Psalms 84:11 NIV

Until Next Sunday.

"He's Waiting"

[11] Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. [12] The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them. [13]  “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 

Luke 15:11-13 NIV

Notice that The Prodigal Son's father didn't argue with him, or do anything to prevent The Prodigal Son from getting his share of his estate early. He just gave him what he asked for.

Sometimes God does us the same way!!

Sometimes God will give us what we ask Him for, KNOWING we're going to squander it, we're going to mess up, we're going to need His help in the end.

Just as expected, The bible says, The Prodigal Son squandered all his money from the estate,  just when a famine made it's way through the land, leaving him in need. Coincidence...I think not!!

Luke 15:14 NIV

And you wonder, why some things happen? God will allow whatever is necessary to get us back on track with Him.

Many of us being stubborn- willed like The Prodigal Son (and wanting what we want) had to hit or almost hit rock bottom before we would come to our senses and return to The Father.

So, The Prodigal Son hit rock bottom. He had no money, he was hungry and face down in the mud of a pig pen, and the bible says, "No one gave him anything."

Luke 15:16 NIV

Beloved,

When you've been out there partying with people, squandering all your money on people and yet, when you lose it all and are in need....

They are no where to be found. IT'S TIME TO COME ON BACK TO GOD. He is The One who cares, who always cares. 

The Prodigal Son's so -called friends weren't there to help him, no one gave him anything, but somewhere in midst of him feeling hungry, discouraged, and alone...He come to his senses, got up, and went and made things right with his father.

You should do the same. It's time to make things right with your Heavenly Father. He's waiting patiently for you to return.

Luke 15:17-22 NIV

Until Next Sunday!!
