"Lord, we thank Thee for the great gift of peace, that peace which passeth all understanding, that peace which the world can neither give nor take away." That is the peace that only God can give in the midst of a restless world and surrounded by trouble and difficulty. To know that peace is to have received the stamp of the kingdom of God. When you have earned that peace, you are fit to judge between true and false values, between the values of the kingdom of God and the values of all that the world has to offer. Prayer for the Day I pray that today I may have inner peace. I pray that today I may be at peace with myself. A powerful 'message lies within these words! A community struggling in a 'spiritual darkness'... come close to...

Ok so I know I said I wouldn't be on for a while. But, I just couldn't help myself. I witnessed the most incredibly, unselfish thing a week or so ago. I wrote about having been thrown out of ### Children's Hospital, into the rain. Well, here's the flip-side to that inhumane act. While "visiting" still another hospital in the ### Medical Center, during yet another storm, instead of throwing the "least of these" out into the street, on a stormy night, ### Hospital, seemingly (I don't want to get anybody in trouble) "SEEMINGLY," did just the opposite. I couldn't verify it, but they, appeared to have opened their doors (or at least looked the other way) as homeless people came into their facility, out of the rain and appeared to have had a...

Psalm 18:25-26 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright; with the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward. David had learned a very important lesson in his life. He knew that God reacts to every individual according to the attitude of their heart as we can see in the scripture above. What's true in physics is true in life. One of the laws of physics is that for every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction. The inescapable truth in life is that every action has consequences, whether we're wise enough to recognize it or not. This is not just some old testament law, God never changes. Malachi 3:6 I am the Lord, I change...

Hello all It has been a long time since I posted anything, and if any of you missed me here I am to say sorry. Things have been going good in my life as I lean in to God more. Yes I am still standing for my marriage and God is moving mountains. Now on with the post titled forgiveness so it must be about forgiveness then, right? Nope I'm going to write about baby puppies and little kittens. Yes of course I'm going to write about forgiveness. We live in a world that is extremely unforgiving, everyone wants revenge or to get even if someone did something wrong to or around them. Not just that but some people hold a grudge if something good happens to someone else and not them, like if a coworker gets a promotion you wanted or even...

The commandments are mainly recommendations directed to ways to perceive and understand correct actions and attitude in our daily lives. The implementation of the spiritual principles placed within them will not only create a happier, healthier and more harmonious life, but will bring you into a more responsive and harmony with a loving God and the greater good of all. For of the main concern here of preservation and content within the realm of spirituality... therefore ever mindful not to be read through a materialistic lens, but through a more transcendental nature...I choose within the Divine Holy Spirit. The intention here is not to undermine the usual outlook of the intellectual community...but to bring to 'light' a spiritual...

For years I have had this recurring vision of being assaulted. In this vision, I'm on my back, on the ground, and someone is unmercifully, beating me. As I sat in a hospital chapel a few days ago, God revealed the assailant: It was me. I had been beating myself up, over and over again about things that I did not know. As I sat there crying, praying and repenting for things I did not understand, could not explain and had no answer for; particularly in situations where I felt like I had let God down; God spoke to my spirit and told me that I wasn't supposed to know how to do it. If I knew how, then I would rely on my own ability, rather than trusting Him to work through me. He said, it's His job to know how and mine to be still while He...

Ravens don't just bring food, sometimes they provide protection as well. I was hesitant to share this because it was quite embarrassing and on the surface, it was not a pretty little report; as Christians, we sometimes beat one another over the head with Philippians 4:8. But the GOD I serve is not only the GOD of love He's also the GOD of TRUTH, and the truth is; not everything is lovely but that doesn't mean it can't be of good report. Last night I had a major meltdown. I was literally and unnecessarily, thrown out onto the street in the rain by a security guard at Texas Children's Hospital ### Building. Without going into great detail. After crying, having a serious pity party and dramatically determining that last would be my last...

Romans 8:27 "And He who searches hearts knows what is the mind of God, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints to the will of God". What is praying in the Will of God? When we pray for, and with others, as well as for ourselves, we must first test what we are praying for by the Word of God; the Will of God. "Let all things be tested; keep to what is good." (1 Thessalonians 5:21). How can we pray in the Will of God, and know the Will of God? We know this when we are praying in HIS Spirit. But what is really praying in 'His Spirit?' Prayer is sincere; prayer is sensible; prayer is the affectionate and lovingly, pouring out the heart and soul to God, through Jesus Christ, with the strength, knowledge, wisdom, and assistance of the...

GOD causes the sun to shine on the just as well as the unjust. Do we then say that GOD is unjust, absolutely not, GOD is gracious. Neither the just nor unjust is worthy of grace. It's a gift and because gifts are free they cannot be bought with our "worthiness." The gift of forgiveness is free as is the gift of love. Love doesn't lie Love is not abusive Love is not restricting Love does not demand silence Love does not conceal Love does not ridicule Love does not judge Love does not desert LOVE IS HEALING It's not enough to know what love is; you also must know what love is not. When you accuse someone of not knowing what love is; you then become responsible for exhibiting what love is by properly loving them...
