Struggles!

I'm fed up. I'm really bothered by people that think they are better than you. I don't wanna blast preachers, but I wanna put people on blast! I wish that I can go to church and get preached to instead of being preached down on. I go to church to be encouraged. I go to church to be lifted. I go to church for healing. I go to church to be a blessing to someone else! I do not to go to church to leave feeling worse than I did before I got there! I did not come to church to be further burdened down. I was agitated when I came across a victim of this.

When people come across you and you open up to them in efforts for help and they automatically condemn you to hell. My skin rose when I heard of an instance where this happened. People come to church for help, seeking solutions, and not to be sent to hell! Let me first say this, people do NOT have a heaven nor hell to place you in. Secondly, if this is happened to you, as a member of the body of Christ I apologize on their behalf. They handled you in the wrong way. We are to have love one towards another. We are to season our words with love, not to offend. Again, I apologize.

We gotta realize that we all have issues. We all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. We all have a struggle that we go through. Listen here, and Listen good! Sin is Sin. There is no sin that is greater than the other. What is sin? All unrighteousness is sin! Whether you cuss, steal, lie, cheat, fornicate, struggle with sexual urges all around. It is all the same, despite what people may!

I recommend that people go to God. God is no respecter of persons. God's love covered a multitude of sins. After all, God only wants us to choose him and be open and honest with him! This is why David was a man after God's own heart because he was honest with God. David was a liar, a fornicator, and a murderer! He slept with another man's wife, felt guilty and tried to cover things up because the wife got pregnant. Then he sent the husband into the front line of battle to ensure his death. That's downright grimey, for real for real! He knew he was out of line and went to God and poured his wrong doing out! God forgave him. It came at a price, but he was still forgiven!

Paul even confessed his dealings to the people. He put it right on out here that he had issues. we're not perfect and the more we realize that Jesus is the only perfect one and we all are still striving towards perfection, the sooner we realize that EVERYONE is indeed reaching towards that same goal!

Don't belittle others because of their struggles, because let it be known your struggles and you wouldn't feel so hot now would you? It doesn't feel good to have your sin thrown in your face so don't do it to others! Like I said earlier, its all about love! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! you can't get enough love! Keep showing it. Keep extending it. Love does last and we are to have love towards one another! Not out of obedience, but out of desire!

I urge upon you to bring your struggles to God. I urge you to be honest with God. He already knows your story, he just wants you to admit it to yourself so you can admit it to him so he can begin to work on you. Lay it all on God!

Testimony Tuesday!

It's that time again! Testimony Tuesday!!! Yea come on and share what all God has done for you. I'm excited today. Let me explain why...

I've been swimming in the shallow pool of job classifieds and let me tell you, it's not that easy to find substantial work. I ran my figures together with my two nickles of jobs I have and it didn't add up to a dime, lol. I looked at my expenses and my income and they were running quite similiar. With very little excess. I didn't exactly like that. Everyone likes to have spending money, at the very least rainy day money! Well with my calculations, that would of been next to nothing. I would be living paycheck to paycheck. Plus, I was looking at a summer season of unemployment. That's always no fun. So, I started swimming thrugh the job classifieds. I didn't see much that would help me out of my situation, but only help. I saw only one ad that it seems as if I were completely qualified for it. I decided to send my resume in. I was excited when I sent the email off on Thursday night. I was in good spirits most of the weekend past. I got my over the phone interview Monday, and aced it with flying colors!

I was informed at the end of that phone call that I should be expecting to hear a followup interview and be scheduled to be interviewed even further. I gotta give thanks for working this job situation out in a timely mannor. He is truly providing for me like I have never seen him provide. Y'all chack this out:

• With no experience, which I have much upon much experience, candidates start with 30,000.
• No Sundays or nights except for Christmas and Easter
• Full health benefits and something else that sounded good!
• 401k
• 20 paid vacation, personal days
• paid sick days
• opportunity for growth into other better paying positions

My expenses hit 1,200 a month. When I get hired I'll be able to save substantial money per month without it hurting me! Plus, I'll still have spending money! God is good... In a recession that the world is in, the body of Christ is yet being kept blessed!

I hope to hear some good Testimonies today! Be blessed! That link above to receive Manna Texts can be used to send me your testimonies. or leave them in the comment section!

Take a look at what KDC had to say:

Ay wsup follow bloggers, believers, and naysayers,

I pray that this will be a blessing to someone today and will encourage someone to dare to trust GOD. So I have an unusual blessing for my current employment. It’s flexible enough to allow me to go to school and still work full time. However, because I am an on call employee, there are times when my work schedule and school schedule conflict and that’s what essentially “ALMOST” happened. You see when you are blessed and highly favored no good thing will our Father with hold from you. So I stood on a promise he whispered to me many years ago when I first got saved. He said, “Son if you were to only dare to put your trust in me and my Kingdom I will prosper you spiritually, Academically, financially, on my job, and academically beyond your wildest imagination.” So I went to my supervisor and explained to him my situation that I needed to be off and I had 3 finals that I could not afford to miss! He took a look at me and then did a double take. He replies he needs to make a phone and would be right back. Upon his return he informs that I was not only off for the rest of Sunday, (yes he allowed me to go home early!), Monday, and Tuesday. But he was also going to pay me for the full day of SUNDAY!!! Now I don’t know about you but my GOD gave me a “Favor Shield.” Every time I come into contact with the world people go out of there way to bless me and prosper me. Rules, regulations, and laws are changed on behalf. And most importantly Battles I face I know are already won. I don’t have to fight them because my GOD fights them for me. If you for one moment don’t think our GOD is able to do the small trivial things then how do you have expectations for the great and big things? Today Zion I urge and also dare you to TRUST him, all it takes is faith of a mustard seed and if you can’t do that then watermelon seeds will do! Let Go and Let HIM SHOW AND SHOW OUT…

Be a BLESSING and PROSPEROUS today…

Testimony Tuesday!

Ahhhh, its Tuesday, so you know what that means... TESTIMONY TUESDAY!!! Last week Someone finally a testimony, Maybe someone will post one this week... We'll see...

Nothing really spectacular has really happened to me this past week, but I must give credit to God for keeping me from one week to the next. For without God, I wouldn't be kept! Without God, I wouldn't be here typing this for you. As Evangelist Lilian Lloyd said in the song "One More Chance", I coulda been Koo Koo, I coulda been DEAD and sleeping in my grave. So many things could of happened to me in just one weeks time, I give God Thanks for allowing me to make it this far! We gotta say thank you for the little things. Without the lil things the big things seem far away!

I came across this and I asked the blogger if I could post it, obviously he consented! here it is:

".... I'm able to see another day....... smile...... and endure all these blessing bestowed upon me. I'm truly thankful. Everything I'm able to do is because of you. Through the midst of it all, you brought me through. Through all the challenges, and changes I've faced you helped me push on. Thanks for the wonderful people you've surrounded me with & all the great things in my life right now. I have been restored, and I'm here to let everyone know it'sALL BECAUSE OF YOU JESUS, MY LORD & SAVIOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for loving me when I didn't feel loved at all. When I didn't think I could make it you picked me up, and carried me along the way. I know I'm not perfect, and your love is unconditional. Amen!"

That was my lil bit on this week. I thank you all for reads, whoever reads, lol! Remember you may post in the comments or you may click EMAIL HERE and I'll post the emails to the blog. Happy Posting!!!

Music Monday!

Hey! Its a Monday afternoon and yea I know monday is most people's worst day of the week. How about we change that up a bit and start the week off correct! Here's a selection from Yolanda Adams, In The Midst Of It All. 

Just when you think that your Monday will get the best of you, remember that you are in the hands of god. Remember that he can bring you through not only today, but the rest of the week and weeks to come! I hope you enjoyed this video as much as I did!

Testimony Tuesday!!!

Yes, I know I've been lax with posting here... I've been busy but I promise I'll do better. Well It's that time again, Testimony Tuesday! It's that time to tell what amazing, miraculous and unbelievable things that God has done for you. As usual, I'll go first...

Some may know, others may not know, but I've been in the process initially of finding an apartment and secondly moving into this apartment. Let me set up the background. I'm employed on a per diam basis and work a part time second job to give me spending money. I'm on a very strict budget and cannot afford expensive rent. I didn't wish to live in a severely urban area. Yea I said it, I didn't want to move to the ghetto as black folk and others call it! Any other areas are pricey and way outside of my reach. I began to lose hope but I knew that God was going to supply my needs. He said he would and I was trying my best to stand on that. I found a nice apartment and it was outside of my reach, and I had to pay all of my utilities. It wasn't terribly outside of my reach so I decided to take a step out on faith and see what God would do. I prayed that if this apartment was for me let it be for me and if it wasn't for me to block me from getting it. He did just that. He blocked me from being able to walk away from it! The rent was brought down into my reach and utilities were thrown in. He also allowed most of the first month's rent to be taken off giving me more money to put into the apartment. It was a test of patience but after much waiting I was able to move into my apartment on the 23rd of April.

God is good. It took much physical strength and sweat but I'm in my new home and it is feeling more homey as the days go on! I hope to see some more testimonies today!Remember you may post in the comments or you may click EMAIL HERE and I'll post the emails to the blog. Happy Posting!!!

Fantasia Total Praise

Get in the spirit and follow along with Fantasia as she gives us her total praise!

First Things First

I'm just gonna set this thing up beginning with bible verses. Here we go...

Mark 5:25-34

25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

Matthew 6:33

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Let me lay out this story. It's about this woman who was sick, commonally known as the woman with the issue of blood. She was sick in her body and wanted her healing. So she went and did what any normal person would do, she went to see the Dr.! Picture this, she went to the doctor and they tried one thing. It didn't work. then she went to another doctor and then they told her the same thing! She began to spend all of her money on all of these physcians trying to be healed. What's wrong with this is she took things into her own hands. She began to work on her own. As a result, she lost her money, had nothing, and still was sick!

She heard that Jesus was in town and she immediately knew that the fix for her problem rested in Him. The only thing that she wanted was a healing and knew who could make it possible. Her faith positioned her for this healing. Her faith enabled her to attain her healing. By her faith, in touching the garments of Jesus, she was healed!

Examining what happened, she could have easily believed on Jesus and attained her healing. Instead of believing she needed that touch. Get this, she didn't even touch Jesus, she just came close and touched his garment. All we need to do is work our way close to Jesus! Get near Him to catch that annointing that he has for you. Get close to Him to attain the healing and deliverance that you desire. All it takes is a strong desire, on your behalf, to get closer to God and the things that God has in store for you can be yours!

Matthew 6:33 says that we need to seek the kingdom of God FIRST! That means that in order to get these things that we desire (healing, deliverance, breakthroughs, tangibles), we need to first concentrate on God. We need to better our relationship with God. Fasting to control our flesh so we don't fall out of line in our desires. First things first, seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
