Israel and New Breed - Alpha and Omega (Full Version)

I give God all the glory because He is worthy to be praised. I thank Him for being faithful especially when I am far from being faithful. This video just tells it all. I love Him.

Somebody is praying for me

Somebody is Praying for You
Bishop Keith Butler

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. Romans 12:3 (KJV)

We need to give credit where credit is due. You may be very blessed. And if you are, know this: it is not you that caused it. You are blessed because God blessed you. That is the opinion you ought to have of yourself. Realize that your blessings did not start and end with you. They started and ended with God. Somebody has been praying for you, and it was their prayers that brought you through.

The way God does things sometimes astonishes me. With God, it does not matter how much you learned in school. It does not matter how good you can scheme and maneuver the business deal. It does not matter how eloquent your speech is. That is not what's putting you over. What's putting you over is that God has blessed you in spite of yourself. Somebody who has gone on before you prayed for you to be blessed.

Some of us had mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers that prayed for God's mercy to be extended toward us. Some of us are still living off the prayers and blessings of great-grandparents that we have never even met.

To think soberly is being aware that God has somebody praying for you right now in the midnight hour. They are praying and interceding for you so that mercy could come your way. So, when you fall down and hit your face on the pavement of life, God has somebody praying for you.

When you keep everything in proper perspective, you can think soberly, understanding that God and only God gets the glory for all the good in your life. God is good all the time. Give glory to His holy name!

Little Faith + Big God = Huge Results

I have been MIA for a minute due to school work.
God has been good to me this month. I don't know where to start but His amazing grace has been incredible.
I thank Him for the gift of life, for His protection and mercy which is new every morning.
If not for His favor and mercy, I don't know where I would have been.
My life is full of testimonies of His love and favor.
I just want to praise Him.

Letting go and letting God

I had a reality check yesterday and feel like sharing it with you. I was talking with a man of God yesterday about a breakthrough that I just had. Of course I tried to tell him about my past experiences and my fear of it reoccurring. I thank God that he stopped me before I could even voice them out.

With God, it is a new blessing, new chance, new opportunity. No reruns, no flash backs, just upward and forward. No need to reflect on past experiences when we are about to embark on new journey, that is how the devil puts fear in us.

Isaiah 43 beaks it down for us. From the first verse, the bible made us to understand that we are His and He knows us by name. We are always welcome in His presence. No matter what we are passing through, He is always with us.

Verse 18 and 19 advised us not to ponder on former things, former pain, disappointments, failures, for God will do a new thing in our lives. Interesting thing about verse 19 is that it called us to be aware of it happening already. This is where most of us drift. Most times we are unaware of our answered prayers because we are so afraid of it not coming to pass. How many times have you prayed for a favor and not realized that God answered before we even asked? I know I am guilty of that and I know that I am delivered in Jesus name.

We need to let go and let God. You know you will never in your right mind go back to your vomit, so why go back to carry your burden. We need to become prisoners of hope. Have faith in our God. Have a relationship with Him. Understand who He is and what He is capable of doing.

I pray that we will let Him in completely. Even though the enemy may try to dissuade us, that we shall overcome in Jesus name.

It is well

My victory, His praise

I know it is late, but I still want to wish you all Happy Easter.
I had a wonderful Easter and our guest minister reminded us all that everyday should be Easter and Christmas because those are the basic principles of our faith.

An important thing is to know that there is joy in our salvation. Salvation means that things are working the way they should. When they are not, then we should reexamine ourselves. Most times we are the ones holding our blessing. There must be joy in our lives, but when the source (us) is dirty then it produces dirt.


Remember I started this month with high expectations, well all is at rest now. I will be sharing testimonies soon. Just keep praying for His praise to manifest through my victories.

I thank God for His infinite mercy. For giving us the greatest gift. He lives and because He lives, nothing can separate us from the His love.
He is alive.

All things are possible

I am so overwhelmed just listening to this song. I don't think anything I can blog will equate how I feel right now. I thank God because He makes all things possible. When I call on Him, He answers.

I love Nicole Mullen...She is blessed. I thank God for using her music to bless people.

I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES

I love this song
It brings tears to my eyes each time that I listen to it. It makes me relax knowing that God is in control of everything.

My soul be still and know that He is God.

In the mist of the storm...(For a special friend)

When life gets too overwhelming, who do you run to?
I thank God that we have Him to bug. I can't imagine my life without Christ.
A friend was asking me why I am always listening to gospel music and I told her that most times, life won't let me sing out loud, but I listen to the music and sing it in my heart.
Most times when I am driving alone, that is when I showcase my gospel idol show. I love putting my favorites like "For Every Mountain" by Kurt Carr on repeat.

Life is rough, but God supplies all the lube that I need to journey along. When I feel like I can't take another step, I boost and recharge on the Word or songs. He never promised that it would be easy, but I know that nothing that comes our way is mightier than Him. And I know that for each test, He knows we can overcome it.

I did not think I could make it these past months. At a time I told God that I could not cling on any longer, that He had to carry me. And He did. The only reason I made it to March is because He carried and still carrying me along. I know that He lives. I praise Him because He has never let me down. He always show up. He answers me when I call. He is always keeping His promise.

My dearest friend , I know that God is waiting for you to call on Him. He is ready to hug you. Don't be shy or afraid to go to His throne of mercy. God is not a man to count faults, because none of us would stand if otherwise. No matter what you are dealing with today, His door is always open, just walk right on. Approach His throne with confidence.

May God continue to be available to us in Jesus name. May He hear us and continue to make the impossibilities possible in Jesus name. Remain blessed.


I have been trying to upload Nicole Mullen's videos but I don't know why youtube is acting up.
Here is a lyric of her song "Call on Jesus" it just explains everything. I love her music and thank God for using her to bless people through her music.

Nicole C. Mullen Call On Jesus lyrics

by Nicole C. Mullen
from Talk About It

I'm so very ordinary
Nothing special on my own
I have never walked on water
I have never calmed a storm
Sometimes I'm hiding away from the madness around me
Like a child who's afraid of the dark

But when I call on Jesus
All things are possible
I can mount on wings like eagles and soar
When I call on Jesus
Mountains are gonna fall
'Cause He'll move heaven and earth to come rescue me when I call

Weary brother
Broken daughter
Widowed, widowed lover
You're not alone
If you're tired and scared of the madness around you
If you can't find the strength to carry on

repeat chorus

Call Him in the mornin'
In the afternoon time
Late in the evenin'
He'll be there
When your heart is broken
And you feel discouraged
You can just remember that He said
He'll be there

Nicole C. Mullen Call On Jesus lyrics

Faithfulness of God

I was talking with my cousin yesterday and we started remembering the past events of 2007. So many deaths that occurred in the family, tragedies and heartaches. But one thing we both remembered was the faithfulness of God. We were not better than those that died, nor were we more faithful in the things of God, but only by His mercy are we still standing.

I thank God that even though 2007 was a bad year we still had things to be grateful for. And now we are in 2008, I know it is the year to recover all that we lost in the past year.
I confess that we will not go through what we went through last year.
There will be no untimely death especially among the youths in my family.
We shall all live to the glory of God in Jesus name. Amen.

PRISONER OF HOPE

I am so excited about MARCH. I can't explain or describe it but to help, you know that feeling you get towards the big holidays like Xmas. Yeah...that's how I feel now. I am in my expectancy mode/mood. Everything is coming together.

I keep replaying Joyce Meyer's Prisoner of Hope podcast over and over. We all need to become prisoners of hope. Becoming a prisoner of hope means that you are hoping to be free through Christ. That no matter what happens you are not giving up because one day the sentence will be over. You will be set free through Christ.

Our outlook in life and every situation sets tone of how things will go. I pray that in every situation to turn it into praise.

I confess that I as I am stretching out my hand to receive in this month, not to get tired of reaching
I confess to find God in every situation
I confess that this month is the month to recover all
I confess that God will carry me on Shoulder this month
I confess that IT IS WELL WITH ME in Jesus name
Amen

LET IT GO

A friend read this to me this morning...I thank God for speaking thru His people...

Let it go for 2008...by T. D. Jakes


There are people who can walk away from you.

And hear me when I tell you this!

When people can walk away from you: let them walk.

I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you,
loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying
attached to you.

I mean hang up the phone.

When people can walk away from you let them walk.

Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.

The bible said that,

They came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were
not for us.

For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us.

[1John 2:19]

People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are
not joined to you, you can't make them stay. Let them go.

And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person, it just means that their
part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part
in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead.

You've got to know when it's dead. You've got to know when it's over.

Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the
tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful,
it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have,
He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it.

Stop begging people to stay.

Let them go!!

If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and was
never intended for your life, then you need to ..LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains .. LET IT GO!!!

If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth...
LET IT GO!!!

If someone has angered you ..LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge ..LET IT GO!!!

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction ..LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or
talents .. LET IT GO!!!

If you have a bad attitude...LET IT GO!!!

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better...LET IT GO!!!

If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new
level in Him...LET IT GO!!!

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship....LET IT GO!!!

If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves.. LET IT GO!!!

If you're feeling depressed and stressed ...LET IT GO!!!

If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling
yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it," then you need
to... LET IT GO!!!

Let the past be the past. Forget the former things.

GOD is doing a new thing for 2008!!!

LET IT GO!!!

Get Right or Get Left .. think about it, and then LET IT GO!!! "The
Battle is the Lord's!"

MY GOD IS FAITHFUL

I just thank God for being a faithful God. He is sure faithful to the end. It may seem that I've lost it all, but at the end He comes to the rescue. It has not been easy for me this year...but all that garbage ended with February. He just reminded me how faithful He is. To be still and know that He is God. That He will pull me through it. It may seem that the enemy is winning but God is actually fixing it behind the scene. I am rejoicing today because I have RECOVERED it ALL.

I confess that as I am entering the new month, it will be a favor filled month

I will begin to see all that I've recovered from the thief being the devil

That His grace, mercy and favor shall begin to manifest in my life

Humans will see it, I shall be celebrated and Jesus will be given all glory

Father I thank you for being an awesome God. For being a faithful God, especially when we are being unfaithful. Thank you God because you have not given up on me. Thank you for the second chance. For the new month and the new song. Thank you because through your faithfulness I HAVE RECOVERED ALL. IT IS WELL IN JESUS NAME. AMEN

I KNOW WHO I AM

I am free
I am yours Lord
I am your baby
I am your friend
I am saved
I am a citizen of heaven, royal priesthood
I am blessed
I am favored
I am a victor
I am celebrated
I am SOMEBODY and HE is my LORD
I am a survivor
I am healed
I am an overcomer!

In the mist of the storm...

The waiting period is not easy; but I know that my redeemer lives. My mom said it is because my breakthrough is near and I have to agree. I thank God for His daily bread, His daily words of wisdom that gives me strength. I thank God that with each step, it gets lighter because I know that it is only one footprint in the sand. His, not mine.

In the mist of the storm He will show up. One thing I have experienced is that our God is always on time, never late or early...just on time. One thing to count on is that He will do what He has promised. He reminded me this morning about what He did in the past. Ex. 19:4. Each time it seems like He is far, just remember your past, how He guided and guarded you and know that He will see you through.

My favorite way of reaching out to Him is through praise and worship. King David was called the man after God's own heart because he knew exactly the way to His heart and that is through praise and worship. Sing to Him, listen to worship songs, tell Him how much you love Him. Have conversation with Him. Let Him know how you feel. I sleep with either songs I put on repeat or sermons...as I sleep I have them in my heart and as I wake, I am waking up to one.

Though the vision may tarry, it shall surely come to pass in Jesus name.

New week...New dawn...New Blessing

I thank God for the gift of life. I thank God for a new week. I am not a fan of Sundays because I know the next day is either school or work. But on the other hand it means that I will be embracing a new week, new hope and new blessing.

I watched Joel Osteen Live today and really enjoyed the guest speaker. His message was on LEGACY. One of the points I got from his sermon was that Legacy will make you view life in 3D and I agree. Our legacy in Christ makes it easier to face our battles knowing that Christ has overcome. Our legacy in Christ is what gives us hope to have faith in God. I thank God that I have a legacy in Him.

Lately, I've been meditating on the MERCY and GRACE of God. I will share on it once I get a grip on it. I have to say that God's mercy is not to be taken for granted. His words in Romans 9:16, made us to understand that He decides on whom to have mercy. What would have happened to me if He had kept His mercy from me. Where would I have been if He was a man that keeps count. Thank God for His mercy and His grace to overcome.

I pray that God will see us all through this week in Jesus name. I don't know about you but I started confessing into my life how I want my week to go. So here it goes:
I confess into my life that this week will be a week to remember for the rest of my life.
I confess that I will find favor this week.
I confess that I will be celebrated this week.
I confess that unmerited, unexpected favor will come my way.
I confess that I will not be where HE is not, that HE will guide my steps and lead me this week and forever.
Amen

Broken Hearted

Dear Lord,
I think I have broken my heart, can you fix it?

As kids run to their parents for comfort, so should we Christians do in time of pain or grief. The bible made us to understand that a broken and contrite heart God will not turn away. Ps 51:17. But why do we find it so difficult to run to our Father? He already promised in His word to comfort us." Isaiah 66:13. So why are we dragging our feet?

I am guilty of this. I know who HE is and what HE is to me, but each time I stumble I feel like I will never get back up again. Most times, the accuser derails me into thinking I played my last hand. But He is not a man to count fault, if He was to count fault who can stand against him? He knows me, He has searched me. Even before I was born He knew me. And I know He loves me. I know that His grace is sufficient for me. Why "thou downcast oh my soul?"

Thank God that I have Him to run to for comfort. I am not an orphan. It may take a minute for me to realize of whom I belong to, but He is ever ready, available, with open arms to comfort me. "Not one thing has failed of all the good things which the Lord My God spoke. Not one word of them has failed." Joshua 23:14 (NKJV). Such words of comfort to know that I am secured in His promise, that I can rely on Him to wipe my tears and bring laughter back in my life.

I don't know what you may be going through, your heart may be broken like mine...He is waiting for you to come home to get healed. No questions asked, no nagging, sarcastic comments, jokes or payment. He is calling you, come home...humble yourself and come to Him. He will fix your broken heart.

It Is Well With My Soul

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Refrain:
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

Horatio Spafford

When God is silent

I've been listening to Christian podcasts lately and I still can't get enough of Dr. Stanley Charles message on "When God is silent." One of the reasons he gave is that when God is silent, He's been good to us. He also used the story of God raising Lazarus from the dead to remind us that delay is not denial.

It is very difficult and very discouraging when one is really expecting from God. I,ve been battling with the issue of God's silence lately and I pray that I will be still to hear from Him.
