MERRY CHRISTMAS

Jesus is so very special.  The most priceless gift of ever.  Thanks to the Father for giving him to us.

Won't you stay just a little longer

When talking to my dad he never wants me to go. I have to alot of times. It makes me wonder if the Father longs for me to stay too. I sure He does. I have to leave but never to leave his presence. For he is always present with me. An ever present help.

SOME OF GOD'S GREATEST GIFT TO US ARE UNANSWERED PRAYERS

I am sooo glad that God didn't always give me what I THOUGHT was best for me. Also I might add, I did get something that God showed me wasn't meant for me because he knew the future would not sustain that thing, but I pressed and so I believe God gave it to me to show me why he didn't want to give it to me. When things was good they were good; but when that thing turned sour; I asked God, "why would you allow me to go through this?" "He gently reminded me that he didn't want me to have it because he knew the future." I now understand, and respect the answer NO, WAIT or NOT NOW; because I know now that there is something up ahead that God sees that isn't in my best interest or for the best interest of the Kingdom. Remember his will be done.

Faith talk/Faith walk

Just because you are a christian doesn't always mean you are acting in faith. Are you acting in faith? If not it is impossible to please God without it. So it is fair to say if you are not acting in faith you can't possibly please God.

I AM VICTORIOUS!!!

Your hardest struggle is to see yourself as the victor, and not as the victim. If Jesus had not died; then you would have that excuse, but since he did; then you don't. I am MORE than a conqueror through Jesus Christ. Understand what Jesus died for, and then BE what he died for you to become. I AM VICTORIOUS!!! No matter what it looks like: "I AM VICTORIOUS, in the midst of adversities..."I am victorious...WHY? Because the word says so. PERIOD!! (no excuses, even when satan tries to make you doubt....believe God.)

Use me for you glory, Lord

Many have been USED by friends, spouses, children and family members. Being used leaves you feeling terrible, but there is one that I HIGHLY recommend you let use you and that's God. Let him use you to the fullest. Let him scrape every ounce of your potential out and use it for HIS GLORY!!! With him USING YOU; you will never feel terrible. Only terrible if he doesn't. BE USED BY THE LORD TODAY. GBU

THIS IS NO TIME TO SLEEP

TEXT: Jonah 1:5-7
5 All the sailors were afraid and each cried out to his own god. And they threw the cargo into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone below deck, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep. 6 The captain went to him and said, “HOW CAN YOU SLEEP? Get up and call on your god! Maybe he will take notice of us so that we will not perish.”

TODAY'S POST: In the midst of devastation and disaster; Jonah was sound asleep. The captain of the ship went to wake and asked him how he could sleep at a time like that. It is amazing how some people can be oblivious to what is going on around them, in the natural, but also spiritually. Take for example when Jesus' moment had come he depended on his disciple to watch and pray, but in that hour which was most crucial they couldn't even stay awake. They didn't even know the time/hour had come. We have to be careful to be vigilant and fully awake today because saints of God we are truly living in critical times. Time is winding up and the hour is at had. Many souls are lost--so we must stay awake, sound the alarm and intercede on their behalf. No man aboard this ship should be asleep! The bible says in Romans 13:11 See then that the time has come for you to be awake from sleep: for now is your salvation nearer than when you first had faith. It is HIGH TIME TO WAKE OUT OF SLEEP. Get up, shake your selves and get busy about God's business.

STOP THE SILLY TALK: "I'M SAVED; ALL I NEED IS JESUS."

If you are believing God for a wife, don't sit around and wait for him to rain her down from heaven. Pray and believe and then expect to find her by beginning your search. Enough of this silly talk; I'm saved all I need is Jesus. Well, if that is the case why did God say it is not good for man to be alone?? If you don't have the anointing that Paul had to be alone; then you had better believe God to find yourself your a good thing. Don't do nothing illegal or out of his will. LOL AND WOMEN of the cloth; yes the bible says HE that finds himself a wife finds himself a good thing; but that don't mean you have to act all uninterested like you are not available. Come on, a house that isn't for sale won't ever get bought. Use some common sense and at least smile at the man of God that may be interested.

BEFORE THE STORM OF LIFE STRIKES; CHECK YOUR GOD

SCRIPTURE TEXT:  Jonah 1:5 Fearing for their lives, the desperate sailors shouted to their god for help and threw cargo overboard to lighten the ship.  And all the time Jonah was sound asleep down in the hold. 

TODAY'S POST:  In this storm the desperate sailors began to call on their gods:  When the storms of life comes---you had better made SURE you are calling on the ONE TRUE GOD; no other god will do.  Only the master of creation can calm the violent storms of life.  The bible says that God flung the wind that caused this violent storm.  So if He is powerful enough to control the wind; then you know the storm has to obey Him too.  What other god can do that?  Well, in my mind their is no other god, but for the sake of this story let's go with the text.  Consider this:  the desperate sailors shouted to their god.  If he had heard them then he would have calmed the storm, but he didn't.  They had to help him, by throwing their cargo overboard.  Their god had maybe fallen asleep or maybe he had a doctor's appointment.  I don't know, but my point is this, in this storm they didn't have any insurance.  It is a sad thing to need insurance and then find out that you don't have it; or the one you thought you had don't work.  You will loose everything in a storm without the God.

Many people have inadvertently selected to make THINGS, PEOPLE and even POSITIONS---their gods.  Money, neither can your position help/save you in a storm/crisis.  Many rich and famous people are debased to the level of the poor during a storm/crisis.  All that they have put their hope/trust in is useless at that time.   Putting your hope in a women/man can't save you in a storm.  Putting your children on the throne in God's place will have you desolate and confused; because though, you LOVE your children dearly, they CAN'T EVER take the place of God.  The only way to stay safe from all harm in this storm called life is to be anchored to the Lord God Almighty!  He is the refuge; the righteous run in and are safe. 

Our God is the right and only insurance to have. "Blessed assurance Jesus is mine Oh what a foretaste of glory divine....."  The sailor soon discovered how awesomely powerful Jonah's God was/is and always will be.  Even in the midst of chastising Jonah; God still proved his awesome power to the sailors, His compassion for Nineveh and overall His incredible patience/love for Jonah.  Aren't you glad that God is God; and that he is your God?

If you haven't yet made God your God; then let me open the door.  Jesus is the door.  He said I am the way the truth and the light; no man comes to the Father without coming through me.  Ask Jesus to come into your heart today.  I have a prayer of repentance below.  GBU

Here's a simple prayer:

"Dear God I know I'm a sinner, I know I am not where I want to be, and I want your forgiveness!  I believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay the price for my sins. Please wash me clean from all sin, shame, and guilt, come into my life Jesus to be my Lord and Savior.  I ask this in your name Jesus.  Amen!"

Next find yourself a great Bible believing church, Take time to read from the Bible, if you want, you can start with the Gospel of John in the New Testament.

Write me a line if you need more help or prayer, or just want to share the new found joy you just got from receiving Jesus into your heart! 

Catch your second wind

Many good soldiers have gotten tired, and weary. You are frustrated because you think that God has blocked your way. It seems that He is letting all things fall away around you. That you don't know what to do. You feel like God has forsaken you just when you seem to need him most. You cry what seem like in vain. "Which way to go," you say and yet you still don't seem to see the way. Nothing seems clear, and you are discouraged, and drained; feeling like your strength has failed you. You feel like you've done everything right, and yet nothing good is happening. In the mist of all of this pressure; you are waiting on God; looking for him to come save you. You can't see how he will ever do it; He doesn't seem to want to come. Is he making you wait on purpose? Will you able to hold on any longer? Suddenly God swoops you up, and rescues you. You are His and never in this were you/are you alone. This is a season of seeing who is sincere. Lip service is over! Now only those who are anchored in God will be able to survive the race. You know as the race comes to the end; the fight becomes more intense. You gasp for oxygen; your muscles are exhausted and everything you've ran for now seems to make you want to quit simple because you are just so tired, but there is good new; there is a second wind if you can endure; the Holy Spirit will breath it into you; it will refresh you, and strengthen you to carry on till you win the prize. God gave us the power to bind and loose; so I release the wind of the Holy Spirit now to breath new life into you today that you may make this last stretch and win. Remember saints when the stakes are higher then the reward usually is greater. You're closer than you think; hold on; you're almost at the finish-line/your destiny. If you stop now; then you ran in vain, and that what you ran for will be given to the next one in line. Don't forfeit the race! Stay strong and win! WIN, I SAID!!!!---IN JESUS NAME. I SPEAK LIFE TO YOU TODAY!!!! GBU

HEAVEN IS THE FINISH LINE! DON'T GIVE UP UNTIL YOU FINISH THE RACE. LET NOTHING STOP YOU. EVEN IF YOU GET TIRED, REST BUT DON'T QUIT! KEEP PRESSING ON!!!

WHAT AM I SOWING TO SHOULD BE THE QUESTION THAT YOU ASK YOURSELF

Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. Galatians 6:8 You can feed the desires of your flesh, but what will you get in return but ruin? The flesh is eminity with God, but following what the Spirit desires leads to life. The Spirit desires to please God. SO LET THE SPIRIT LEAD YOU---it is a conscientious choice!!! Where He leads I will follow. GBU

TRYING TO OUT RUN GOD; TO GET AWAY FROM THE CALL/COMMAND

SCRIPTURE TEXT:  Jonah 1:3 But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction IN ORDER TO GET AWAY FROM THE lORD; He went down to the seacoast, to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for TARSHISH.  He bought a ticket and went on board, HOPING THAT BY GOING AWAY TO THE WEST HE COULD ESCAPE FROM THE LORD.  NLT

TODAY'S POST:  Jonah thought that by getting aboard the ship heading to Tarshish that he could out run God.  He wanted to get away from the call or the command of God, but even if Jonah had found himself at the ends of the earth; still God would be there.  There is no place on earth or in heaven that you can hide from God.  For those of you that may be running from the calling or the very thing that God has called you to do; you are only hurting yourself and prolonging the enivitable.  God's calling for  you is not of repentance----meaning God will not change his mind on what he has ordained you to do.  That is up to you if you want to keep running in the oposite direction---but when your time has run out and your number is called; God will ask, "why didn't you do what I commanded you to do? 

You may be in a unnecessary storm right now because  you are now headed in the opposite direction than what God has order you to go.  If you want success in your life; you've got to line up with the Master's plan.  Please let Jonah's story be a great example of what not to do.   The bible says that these stories are here for our example. 

IF THE SHIP YOU ARE BOARDING DON'T TAKE YOU TO DO GOD'S WILL; THEN GET OFF!!!

SCRIPTURE TEXT:  Jonah 1: 3

TODAY'S POST:  Jonah FOUND; (say found) a ship that was headed AWAY; (say headed away) from where God had commanded him to go.  Let me tell you something, Satan isn't up to any new tricks.  He is always going to have a vehicle ready that will take you away from God's plan.  It might be a new boyfriend, a old friend that doen't want to see you saved, or a situation that tempts you to compromise or  to turn back on God.  Whatever he tries to use just remember this; it is your choice to board the ship.  By Jonah paying his fare for the ship he was deliberately doing his own thing.  By him doing this he was causing a negative consequence which was to cause his own storm.  We  can't expect anything less if we insist on doing things our own way instead of what God told us to do. 

Think of this:  God ALREADY knew when he had instructed Jonah to go to Nineveh; that he wouldn't go initially/the first time.  So by this time when he was boarding the ship God probably was saying to Himself----Jonah, Jonah, Jonah!  SMH; Must I teach you the hard way? 

We too are sometimes soooo strong willed too; thus we will have to go through SOME UNNECESSAY STUFF (perhaps even a violent storm like our brother Jonah went through.)  However; if we come out better for it then it is worth God's efforts to teach us. 

Please Repost; to help me spread the Good news!

PARTIAL OBEDIENCE IS STILL DISOBEDIENCE

Our lesson today is still coming from the book of Jonah.  So much to learn from this text.  Let's get started. 

SCRIPTURE TEXT:  Jonah 1:3  BUT Jonah GOT UP AND WENT (in the opposite direction in order to get away from the Lord.)
 
TODAY'S POST:  After God had commanded Jonah where to go and what to say...Jonah got up and went; BUT; see the BUT at the beginning of the scripture?  But; here is indicating that something bad is going to happen.  Don't you hear the music?  Jonah partially obeyed God here; for those of you who like to look at things in an optimistic way; he did ACTUALLY get up to go; BUT he went in the OPPOSITE direction.  OPPOSITE- meaning contrary to what was told of him.  Take for example a child; if you tell them to stop, but they go instead---they are in direct disobedience to your command.   Jonah was hoping to get away from what God was telling him to do.  In other words he was doing what he wanted to do; because he had his own feeling/agenda about the matter.  But as God's servant he was to do what his master commanded.  He had excepted those terms willingly.  Like we say, "Lord I will go where you want me to go, I will do what you want me to do."  We too willingly make God reign as King of kings, and Lord of lord in our lives.  So here Jonah violated the commanded of the Lord through partial obedience.  

PARTIAL DISOBEDIENCE- is still direct disobedience.  No matter the situation; if we act contrary to what God commands or tells us in His word; then we are in direct disobedience just like Jonah.  We may think we can help God or maybe we may have our own agenda like Jonah did; but we can never know God's reasoning for things.  God's wisdom is unmeasureable; so when we challenge God through our actions of being contrary to what he says then we are being arrogant  in the face of our creator.  That is like the creation telling the creator what to do.  The creator made the creation; so he knows what is best.  God had a purpose for sparing Nineveh and he has a purpose for what he commands us to do today.  We never know how many evangelists, pastors, teachers, or missonaries came out of Nineveh; but God wanted to have compassion on them, and so he did.  He is God; he can do whatever he wants to do.  Our job is to be sure we are submissive to his will; even if it is our enemies like Nineveh was to Israel/Jpnah's homeland (Israel).

What can we tell God that he doesn't already know?  What can we give him that he doesn't already own?  But our hearts given to Him in FULL OBEDIENCE is like a sweet savor in God's nostrils.  NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF WALKING IN OBEDIENCE and remember there is no such thing as partial obedience.  It's either ALL or NOTHING!!! 


A THOUGHT TO PONDER: What if the gospel wasn't preached to you or to your race of people because one person felt the need to share it with you because of his personal feelings? If God had let that happen; then many of us probably WON'T BE SAVED TODAY. None of deserved salvation; but God!!!! Thank you Jesus!!! Thank you Lord for overriding Jonah's decision.

Continued wickedness brings God's judgement

SCRIPTURE TEXT:  Jonah 1:2 God told Jonah to get up and go to the great city of Nineveh!  Announce my judgement against it because I have seen how wicked it's people are. 

TODAY'S POST:  Let's look at Judgement.  The definition of jugement is observing behavior and then pronouncing a punishment because of it.  God wanted Jonah to announce his judgement against the people----WHY?  Because of their wickedness/behavior.  You see;  we know that God sees and knows all; but we somehow take Him for granted because he has been so long suffering with us, and with the people.  But there does come a time; I believe that God will put a stop to our foolishness/sin if we won't take heed his warnings.  There are christians, pastors, deacons, church secretaries etc that are operating on treacherous grounds.  Why?  Because they are willingly practicing sin in their lives, and they think that the Lord will continue to have mercy.  That is why you have seen many celebrity ministers fall from grace.  Don't think that they didn't get a prophectic warning from God many times over.  These warnings  let them know that they were on dangerous grounds; headed for destructions and to turn from your wicked ways.  If they continued on their course then their destruction is on their own hands because they were warned. 

Some Churches are operating with manpower instead of by the spirit.  Sin runs rampid from the pulpits to the back doors; although, the building is still standing; I believe God will send his angels to write the Icabob above the door post- which means the spirit of the Lord don't dwell here anymore.  That is God's judgement; or take for instance a if a person keeps practicing an inquity for a long, long time---constantly ignoring the Holy Spirit to get it right-then judgement from the Lord will soon come.  God says that he will; not man; but he will turn them over to a reprobated mind.  What I am saying in this text that God loved the people enough to send a prophet to give them a warning of destruction because of their wicked ways if they didn't repent.  God is still saying the same thing today; yes he is merciful, but he is also Holy too and He hates sin.  So if you are practicing sin willingly; then know this:  that God sees you like he seen Nineveh.  IF YOU WON'T GET IT RIGHT THEN GOD'S JUDGEMENT WILL FALL UPON YOU; AND WE KNOW ACCORDING TO THE WORD; "IT IS A TERRIBLE THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD.  Hebrews 10:31.  GBU

Get up and go

Katherine Price-Ministries

Scripture Text: Jonah 1:1 NLT
The Lord gave this message to Jonah son of Amittai: "GET YOU UP to the great city of Nineveh! Announce my judgement against it because I HAVE SEEN HOW WICKED IT'S PEOPLE ARE."

TODAY'S POST: The wickedness in the world doesn't go unnoticed by God; He sees and hears. SO GOD HAS GIVEN A WORD TO YOU; a word that speaks what thus saidth the Lord. This word that God ...has given you like Jonah could save MANY people; maybe even an entire city too, BUT THERE IS JUST ONE PROBLEM.....you haven't gotten up yet to go tell the people. God told Jonah to GET UP AND GO. TO GET UP REQUIRES OUR EFFORTS. GOD HAS ALREADY DONE HIS PART BY GIVEN US THE MESSAGE. You see...no matter how anointed you are; it is of no use unless you GET UP from your idleness/complecancy; and ACTUALLY deliver the message to the people. God said how can they hear without a preacher? You may not have a specific place to go; but you can be available so God can use you at anytime and any moment. I have had God to interupt my errands for the day to have me to go meet with some stranger that He needed me tp minister to.

Just last week I was doing my nails and I had been freindly to this young women; by the end of our conversation she had stated to me over and over that she was convined that God had sent me. I have no doubt that our incounter will greatly impact the young women's life, Praise God! To God be the glory!!

There is ALWAYS someone from Nineveh that is headed for destruction or who is struggling with life. Will you not only HEAR the message? Will you ACTUALLY get up and go (in faith) and deliver it to them. PERHAPS THEY WILL HEAR YOU/RECEIVE THE WORD, AND REPENT LIKE NINEVEH DID. GBU

HE WILL make a way of escape

When the problems got so severe Job's wife told him to curse God and die. What she really was saying was; give up. In the midst of hardship there will be many voices of discouragement, but don't listen to them. God says. "with every trial or temptation that HE WILL make a way of escape." So start asking the Holy Spirit to show you where the way of escape is, but NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP.

Why do you minister? For money or because you love the sheep?

If you are ministering for money only; then you are a hireling. God is looking for true shepherds who love the sheep like Jesus did. One that would risk his/her life for them. THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL. Satan will offer it to you so you will trim your messages or compromise them. Don't do it! You will be held accountable one day for whitewashing the wall. STAY TRUE TO the one who called you!!! GBU SAINTS!!!

GET BACK IN FAITH

How long have you prayed about that thing?  Did you give up because it never happened yet?  What a pity!  God has an appointed day and time to reward you with the answer; so if you give up; your deliverance/answer was closer then when you first prayed/believed.  Get back in faith.  IT AIN'T OVER YET!!!  What a day that will be when he delivers your answer to you.  I can hear you screaming right now.  :  )    It's not hype; it's faith talking.

If you are weighed down you must not have given them to Him

When you get up from your knees you have to know that your burdens are no longer yours anymore. Unless you feel that release you have gotten that breakthrough in prayer that you need. Jesus bore all of our burdens and so why should you. If you are weighed down you must not have given them to him or maybe you did but you pick them back up again when you SAW THE PROBLEMS GET WORSE. But let me remind you that we walk by faith not by sight. I know it is not always easy; because we are used to taking charge, but when you see things get worse just say in FAITH God I gave this to you and I will not take it back. You handle it for me and give me the grace to trust you at this time. Give me the peace in this storm. Once you give God the battle then you will have some peace.

GO WITH WHAT GOD SAYS

God says let their be light....you may be experiencing a long night....I mean like your situation keep getting worse and more worse, trust God who has ALREADY got the morning of your situation worked. I can't tell you how He does it; but He just does. Don't try to figure it out because you can't. He is God all by Himself and your mind is not wired to understand His ways. SO JUST GO WITH WHAT HE SAYS AND LET THERE BE LIGHT.

HEAVEN IS THE FINISH LINE! DON'T GIVE UP UNTIL YOU FINISH THE RACE. LET NOTHING STOP YOU. EVEN IF YOU GET TIRED, REST BUT DON'T QUIT! KEEP PRESSING ON!!!

EVERY PROBLEM IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TRUST GOD. Having faith is not always easy, but it is essential in your walk with Christ. Take for example: I was all in faith about a difficult matter; but as the situation worsened I became afraid, got out of faith and started ranting and raving about; the what IF's. I had to go RIGHT BACK on my knees until I broke before the Lord, and got BACK IN FAITH! Sometimes because we are human we look again at the circumstances; but we must refocus our attention BACK on the one who can deliver us. THIS TOO PEOPLE SHALL PASS. KEEP BELIEVING GOD!!!

OUR ULTIMATE GOAL------that's to be like him.

When God says: " Love you enemies, bless those that curse you and do good to them that despitefully use you," it is not just so you can reap coals of fire on their heads. No! It is for you......to get you to develop the character of God. God knows naturally that we couldn't do it; neither does the flesh wants to do it, but in following God's word we are instructed to be like him. To do what is right; what is difficult. In doing so you prove that you are his children.

The flesh could not do it. Nor could the flesh obey God. Only those who are lead by his spirit can and will submit to this way.

Try it: It might be a fight at first because the flesh doesn't want to submit or give up, but make it line up to God's word. Now let me just say this: Praying for your enemies, and not meaning it is easy! We all have done it, but to REALLY PRAY (huh!) for them with true love; like as if you are praying for yourself or a loved one that is the difficult part. This requires God imparting his strength in you. Nevertheless the fight; you can do it! With God all things are possible. We must truly learn how to love our enemies with REAL love. (Not secretly wishing them harm.) Not being glad when they get their punishment back either. If you are happy to see your enemy get his/her punishment; then you have not yet mastered God's character. Remember that is your ULTIMATE GOAL------that is to be like him. GBU

Your Pharisees of today can't stop the plan of God for your life.

Many Scribes and Pharisees came to tempt Jesus asking him many things just to annoy him.  Never did he ignore them or scream at them, but he always answered their questions; mostly with a question.  His would ask them about their business.  They were always silenced when Jesus was done. 

Satan will never go away.  He is relentless.  We must be sharp and skilled at answering the Pharisees that are appointed to us by Satan.  Their only purpose is to trip you up, but infact they can be used to sharpen your skills for God.  What the devil meant for evil God will take it and make it for your good. Jesus told his disciples that he sent them out as sheep among wolves.  He admonished them to be wise as serpent and harmless as doves. 

Jesus really was meek.  We must learn that same gentleness.  His patience was also long with people that would have vexed us today.  We must treat even our enemies with much love; just like Jesus did. 

Take Judas for example.  Now Jesus knew before hand that he would betray him, but never did he leave him out or treat him harshly.  If that was us today, awwwh Judas wouldn't have had the chance to betray us because we would have BEEN given him his pink slip (lol); you know I am right, but we must learn that in him betraying Jesus  he actually was ushering in God's will, and purpose, and plan for Jesus' live; which was to redeem mankind.  Say no weapon! 

What I am saying we can treat our Pharisees, Scribes currently known today as enemies, backstabbers or hater courteously because whatever they do they can't stop the plan/will of God for your life.  God is more concerned about how you treat them because your love in the midst of their cruelty proves that you are the true sons and daughters of God Most High.   Their cruelty will be a testimony against them in the day of judgement; but you will be free to enjoy eternal life.

GOD IS FILLING ORDERS NOW, ARE YOU HUNGRY?

I can't serve a God that is limited to my imagination. He has to be much bigger than that! Remove the boundaries of your imagination. You are limiting God to what he can do in your life. He's not that small.

1 Corin. 2:9 says, "Eyes have not seen nor has ears have heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”....so there is some things that God is about to do that you can't even fathom but only if you would believe. I want a God who can blow my mind. Who keeps me at awe with his greatness and majesty. What a ALMIGHTY GOD we serve!

It is sad to say, but we haven't really tapped into the greatness of who God really is. We have just come to the edge of Mt. Sinai, and are glad to have seen the clouds, but there is always more of God. It is up to us to pursue him until we get's lost like Mose did, and still there will be more to know.

God's greatness is there for us to experience, but it is our responsibility to search for him. Like you are desperate. Like you've lost something. Don't be satisfied with your limited view. What you knew or felt in God yesterday is not enough for you today. Why? Because your desire should be, "I want to go higher, I want to go deeper." God can fill that order. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled. You should get hungry and thirty everyday for more of God.

LOOKING FORWARD TO MORNING

Praising God because he's still God. Yes, weeping may endure for the night, BUT and there is a but. BUT JOY COMETH IN THE MORNING. Are you looking forward to your morning? If you get discouraged, and have no hope/faith; then what is there to look forward to? That's miserable. Your present situation will take you out if you are not hoping for morning to come. Morning is the season that things get better, pressures are released and blessings begin to freely flow again. Morning is the reason that you MUST GO ON.

Our hope is in Christ. We must resist the thought of giving up. Think on this: if you give up then what? Then you REALLY wouldn't have hope or help which is Jesus. Yes, the tough may get tough, but the tough gets going or keep going. He that endure..... That word to me suggest struggle through something to make it to the end. No, it won't be easy all the time, but when you make it through you will look back and say OH HOW I GOT OVER!!! That desires a shouting praise! I will pray for you and you do the same for me. We need to lift one another up constantly, for we are living in perilous times. GBU

~WHAT'S DONE IN THE DARK, WILL COME TO THE LIGHT.~

If you are working iniquity; Jesus is going to say,
"depart from me; I never KNEW YOU." Not knew you, and just forgot you, but NEVER KNEW YOU Matthew 7:23. WHEW! Talk about rejection!! We think Jesus knows us, but his words says different if we work iniquity.

INIQUITY: means wickedness or injustice.

Romans 6:1-3 says:
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

So no matter how much good you do: preaching/casting out devils all in the name of Jesus; it is all in vain if you are living wretched. Secret sin has to be repented of and given an eviction notice! You can't make a place for sin in your life. The bible says make no provisions for the flesh.


~WHAT'S DONE IN THE DARK, WILL COME TO THE LIGHT.~

Jesus is the bondage breaker. He came to set you free from sin. So if you are still bond in some areas don't ignore it, but confess it to Jesus. He will help you break free of the very thing that holds you bond. I love how gentle he works with us. Let him love you better!! GBU

WATCH AND PRAY; AN ENDTIME WORD

WATCH: Give strict attention to, be cautious, active; to take heed lest through remission some destructive calamity suddenly overtake one. Being awake, aware, alert, vigilant…This is a word that we must pay very close attention too. Especially since Jesus told us to WATCH and PRAY.

Surely since we was saved we know the coming of the Lord is that much closer; EVEN AT THE DOOR. We as his children mustn't be running around trying to pull things together. We are to be waiting for the coming of the Lord. Actually watching for his soon return, but in our watching we are to be preparing ourselves, and doing the work of the Master. We are working to get ourselves adorned spiritually. We as the bride mustn't have a spot or wrinkle. Also, we have work to do. Jesus left us in charge of his house. ARE WE AWARE OF THE TIME? Have we accomplished the things that he has intrusted us to do? Or will we be guilty of burying our gifts or talents in the ground? Not everyone that say Lord, Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but ONLY THOSE THAT DO.....DO.....THE WILL OF MY FATHER.

This is a urgent cry for us Saints to wake up! BECOME ALERT; THEN STAY VIGILANT. Satan is rocking us to sleep in various ways. We have lost our first love, our zeal and our passion for God. We don't make it a point to witness anymore, because we are so preoccupied with our own lifes. God is not pleased. There are so many that are STILL lost, and we haven't proclaimed the Good New even to our next door neighbors. Yes, we must be a light to show them the way; but also how can we contain fire? Like Jeremiah said. It should burn within us to share the Love of Jesus.

We've got to wake up, and begin to intercede for our world. Prayer is apart of watching. We must continue doing all that we know to do is right, and teach others to do so too; knowing that one day soon the Lord will return, and WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY THAT WILL BE!!!!!!!!!

~ ONLY THOSE THAT ARE EXPECTING HIM WILL BE GLAD AT HIS COMING.~

WALK IN YOUR ANOINTING

While standing for God is won't always be easy! Many people won't respect or acknowledge the anointing on your life. They will constantly find fault like the scribes, and pharisees did with Jesus. They will also take council against you. In Matthew 13:54-57 Many were astonished that Jesus preached with so much wisdom, and did such great miracles. They exclaimed, "is this not the carpenter's son. Is not his mother named Mary?" In other words, how could God be using someone that they knew and grew up with? Or a more modern term used today, "Who does he/she think he/she is?" "He/she ain't nobody."

Now listen up Saints, many of you are called by God, and his anointed is placed within you. It is not of repentance, but you have not advanced like you should; because people don't know you, or recognize your gifts or callings. So what! Your gift will make room for you. Listen to the story of our Lord, and Savior and know that you will suffer persecution, but I/Jesus have already over come them all. He has made the way plain for you. The great intercessor Jesus is waiting for you to begin the ministry that he has left for you to do.

If ever a time we need you soldier; we need you now. Take the strength of Christ, rise to your post, and do what you were always called to do. For the gates of hell SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST YOU/US. GBU

GOD'S PROVISION

Father wants us to completely lean on him with all of our strength for his provision. We say that we are, but we are not. For God's ways are sweet, and our laboring is hard. We must learn to rest, and COMPLETELY DEPEND on our Father for he is an EXCELLENT provider. Nowhere in the world is it okay to depend completely upon someone, but in this case it is the only way to see the full manifestation of God's blessings for our lifes.

In God's word (Philippians 4:19) it says: " And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." When we stress ourselves, and do things in our own strength; then we brings no glory to the Father. We are getting what we can provide in our own strength according to OUR OWN WAGES, but God wants to provided for us according to HIS RICHES in Christ Jesus.

I am always so saddened when people think of God's provision as always being finances. In everyday life we should rely on God for our spiritual and emotional provision. I need God's grace in raising my children, I need his provision to keep me focused on the works of the ministry. I need his constant provision to watch over me and to protect me. Provision is far more to me than just finances. I need him to provide me with a sound mind and steady peace. Awwwh somebody better understand this thing!!! God is a GREAT PROVIDER! HE IS EVERYTHING I NEED!!!

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and don't lean on your own understanding. In all things acknowledge him, and he shall direct your way. Proverbs 3:5, 6 Yes, Father's ways may sometimes require us to wait, but in our waiting on Father we will develop character. Anyone can speed ahead of God impatiently, but they that wait upon the Lord.....We are a few in numbers that do actually wait, but our testimonies are greater. The end results are always better! Those that did it their way will always come back, and say that THEY WISHED THEY HAD WAITED ON GOD'S PROVISION.

So my question is do you want your way or God's way of provision?

If God is your source; then you have to trust him. He is the one that is working out the details of your life. All you have to do is be so in love with him, because perfect love cast out ALL FEAR. When you don't trust God to take care of the details of your life you are really in fear that he is not able to do it. GOD CAN DO IT, AND HE WILL DO WHAT HE HAS PROMISED.

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. 2 Samuel 22:51

Take the time to see if you are in faith or fear. Fear is the opposite of faith. So if you are having an issue with fear then you are not walking in faith totally. Fear is a spirit; so you have to cast it out and command it not to return. When doubt/fear comes in your mind; cast it down, and speak God's word in it's place. God's word is what God says about your situation. So say what he says. PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT ALL FEAR! God loves you with a perfect love; so what is there to fear?

~Shine Baby shine~

If you are insulted/hated for the sake of Jesus and righteousness; then your light is not in vain. God has a great reward for you in heaven. So don't feel discourage, but rejoice because so hated they the prophets before you. Just know that satan hates you because you have Jesus on the inside of you. So his tricks and schemes are to get you to feel bad. He wants you to shrink away in a corner somewhere, and hide THE VERY THING that will affect this world. Jesus said, "you are the light of the world." That is a big responsibility to light the world, but if you don't do it; who will? You may be the only light in your area that some people will ever see. If you don't shine then many will continue to live in darkness.

I challenge you to light YOUR world. A city set on a hill can not be hid, but if you hide your light it is hid TO THEM THAT ARE LOST.

Deciding to go over to the other side.

Katherine Price-Ministries

You may have to make some very pressing decisions in the near future; some life changing decisions. You may be reluctant to make these decisions, or anxious, but whatever you are feeling; it MUST be done. You must first count the cost; then muster up enough courage, and say: "let's go over to the other side." Mark 4:35 Where you are right now is not enough to sustain you; besides it's not your destiny. Faith requires action, but not acting foolishly. You must have a plan, because without a plan YOU DO INADVERTENTLY PLAN TO FAIL. So pray for guidance, make a plan, move out in faith, and then of course possess your PROMISE LAND. GBU

MY FATHER'S DNA (struggles + endurance = maturity)

by Katherine Price-Ministries on Monday, June 20, 2011 at 4:02am

I love the Lord because he hath heard my cry.  I cried out to the Lord in distress and he answered me.  The Lord is an ever present help in the time of storm.  The Lord is my buckler and shield.  The Lord is my salvation.  God is my refuge, my fortress.  Hold thy peace and let the Lord fight your battle.  Through the trying of your faith works patience.  Let patience have her perfect work in you.

All of these short biblical phrases are so familiar to us; but do they suggest that life will be a bed of roses?  No.  For example:  I love the Lord because he heard my cry.  Crying suggest pain or a continual aggravation.  Or the Lord is an ever present help in the time of storm; means he will help right now in whatever it is that you are going through. So you WILL go through something.   It might not be a storm; but if it is he won't leave you because he controls the winds.  Remember the disciples said, "for what manner of man is this that even the winds obey."  Another example, let patience have her perfect work in you.  Well in order to exercise patience you have to have irritant that is causing you grief in order to develop patience.  For many of you that may be a boss, your children or an unanswered prayer.  Patience is need to see the end of a thing.  Especially, if you are trusting God for something and it may SEEM like he is taking too long.  Many just through in the towel because their patience is thin, but they that wait with patience will see the outcome that God promised.  But never is waiting/patience easy.  It take patience; which is strength to wait on God.  So that means you will have to go through....the fire, but the process is making you more of a refined gem.

Why would God allow his children to endure problems, aggravations, storms and grief to teach us something?  I don't know.  I do know this; he is God, and he does what he pleases.  It is always for our good.  When he allows us to go through trials from the beginning, he already sees our end.  He knows the results will make us better, stronger and much more wiser.  Praise God; what a loving Father we have.  So let's look at life and it's struggles through the eyes of the Father and maybe we will begin to own our true identity.  A King's kid.  We are made of our Father's DNA so we do not crumble under life's pressures like the world does; we just cast our cares onto the one who can truly handle it all.

"Getting what you've ordered in a mate,"

‎
Ladies and Gentlemen:

I would like to talk to both sexes today since I generally relate to women a little more since I am a women. Today I would like to talk about getting what you want out of a relationship and not settling.

Far too many of times we complain about being trapped, or not getting what we want in our relationships. Now let's talk! I know that people can put on a front pretending to be something that they are not, but our job (and yes it a job) is to find out a person's TRUE NATURE AND MOTIVES. We can't just go by being attracted to that person or base our likes on one thing that you may like about that person, but it is their overall personality that you are trying to scope out. If they are the essence of what you need or want.

This is a very funny story that happened to me. One day this guy had approached me to see if I was interested in him. I told him like Nehemiah in the bible, "I said that I was too busy doing the work for the Lord and I couldn't come down." lol I knew that if he was from God that he would have come up to meet me and work with me too. Anyway, he persisted to get my attention. So out of kindness, I paid him some attention. He stated, I like everything about you! Everything! Hmmm, okay. So as we continued to be friends. Little by little he told me that he couldn't talk to a women with a short hair cut. He asked me would I ever consider weaving my hair? I told him that I worked out, and that my hair was short because I needed it to be convenient. He was disappointed because he had liked everything about me. Later, he told me that he didn't like a women with natural hair. Would I ever consider relaxing my hair? Again, I explained to him that I had long, relaxed hair prior to meeting him, and that this was a decision to accommodate my lifestyle. I am a hairstylist so he knew that I could have weaved or relaxed it at any time, but I had chosen to wear it short and natural. Needless to say, he was disappointed because he had really liked everything about me. Later, he told me, " I don't see why you work out anyway, women don't need muscles. I don't like women with muscles. Women is supposed to be soft and dainty," he said. " If we got together would you ever stop working out?" he asked. I explained to him that working out was for the elite, but that I was one and I enjoyed it. I explained that for me it was a way of life and that I was doing it for my heart. Again, he was disappointed because he had really liked everything about me. Finally, he told me that he had seen me without any makeup on and that he really love me naturally. He expressed to me how he would love a women who just didn't wear makeup. At that point I began to think that this man was not at all interested in me for me. He was looking at everything about me that he could have change, and then I would be perfect for him. This is so funny to me. Why? Well, because far too many of times we do the very same thing. We Juuuuust don't say it. Later, I found out what he really loved overall about me was the one fact that I was a devout christian.

You see he weighed everything on that one thing. The fact that I was a christian was like the only percentage in what he was looking for. The other 99 percentage wasn't there for him. Now listen! Sometimes we get so caught up on this. What you may not want in a person may be just what someone else wants or needs. I to him was not it. That doesn't hurt me to say that because unless he had something great in his personality he wasn't it for me either. lol

As men and women far too many of times we say we know what we want, but yet we do what this gentleman did to me. If I didn't know who I was; I would have fallen prey to this controlling spirit. I would have tried to conform to everything that he wanted. Which initially was me, but later became the me he wanted to perfect! It's okay to help better you future mate, but if you have to change them as much as my friend wanted to change me then you have to ask yourself shouldn't you just change your order, and order something that you really want instead of trying to recreate that person.

This is a good example for you to see this a little more clearer. If you placed your order for something to eat, and all of your associates have received what they actually ordered, but due to the fact your wasn't clear on what you wanted your waiter mixed your order up. Once you looked at it you knew it wasn't what you ordered, but instead of sending the whole order back; you kept calling the waiter back. Take back the fries I ordered potatoes. Then she brings you potatoes. Take back the fish I ordered a steak. She brings you a steak. Take back these mixed-vegetables I ordered asparagus. Finally, the waiter says to you I could have just brought you out this dinner we had it on the menu already, and it was tonight's special too. You see you wasted your time and even the other person's time by not being clear at first on what you want. That isn't fair to you or to them.

So my point is this: God is ready to take your order. So try to be clear on what you want in a mate so that you can at least get what you've ordered, and began to enjoy your long awaited meal/mate : ) ~GBU~

PLEASE ENJOY YOU MEAL (Part 1)

It's not that the word doesn't work, but it's because we don't work the word

As a minister of the gospel I have seen so many people tell the sheep about faith and they themselves don't have the fruits of faith in their lives. I firmly believe that Faith is something that will produce something. It will make the unseen come to pass.

When you are believing in God for something don't impress on others to feel sorry for you to make it happen. That is not faith! God will do what you need done without you using tricks or manipulation to get it. Faith lies in believing God and trusting Him to make it happen.

If we as God's children; especially the ministers would work on practicing what we know, and work on growing fruits on our spiritual trees, then the world would believe the gospel more readily. We have what SHOULD affect and change OUR lives. It's not that the word doesn't work, but it's because we don't work the word. Stop talking faith, and love and be faith and love. Your faith will make you whole. Your love is your true religion. Let me see who has become whole because of your faith and let me see your religion in your love walk.

Do your best:

Simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

THEY ARE PERFECT, BUT WAIT IT MIGHT BE A SCAM

THEY ARE PERFECT! In fact, they're someone you could see yourself spending the rest of your life with a decent person with a good job or business in search of a good, honest partner to settle down with. BUT ....BEWARE IT MIGHT BE A SCAM!

You or someone you know may be dating this person online right now. However, BE WARNED. THINGS... AREN'T WHAT THEY APPEAR TO BE. In reality you're talking to a criminal sitting in a cybercafe with a WELL REHEARSED SCRIPT he's/she's used many times before. They are hunting through chat rooms, dating sites and social networking sites like Facebook, Myspace etc. searching for VICTIMS, LOOKING TO CASH IN ON ROMANCE. If you are over 40, recently divorced, a widow, elderly or disabled then all the better in their eyes. Scammers are adept at psychological profiling, and use ANY weakness they find to their advantage. Just because people are nice doesn't mean they are who they say they are. Hummm!! THINK PEOPLE, AND STAY SAFE!!

It's the newest evolution of the Nigerian advance fee (419) scam. Instead of sending spam letters that promise millions for your assistance, these scammers are targeting single men and women who are searching for love online.

They use psychological tricks to lure their victims in, use poetry and even gifts to get them under their spell, then once you are there, will try to reach for your wallet, all the time declaring their "undying love" for you. The scam may take the form of asking you to cash a check for them through your bank account because they are "out of the country" and unable to cash it themselves, or they may come right out and ask you to send money to help them out of a fabricated "financial difficulty" they claim to be experiencing. These are all lies used to try to make them easy money from an unsuspecting victim.

Some of the scammers don't want money from you. ALL THEY REALLY WANT IS THEIR GREENCARD. They will romance you and tell you everything that you are desiring and longing to hear. They usually targets Christians because they are deemed to be weak or more understanding/compassionate. They usually pose as Christians, ministers or evangelist. They may be visiting here on a ministers visa and have a limited time to find a spouse so that their citizenship can be made permanent. These people are usually good a lying to get what they want and if they don't get you; then on to their next prey. Lot's of scammers who only want their greencard will marry you and then after their aloted time they will then divorce you and then go back to their land of origin and get the women/man that is waiting for them; their true love. They will use people and do anything to get what they want.

This is a growing phenomenon; yes even on fb. We know many who have been approached and have even been scammed. If they are looking for a greencard BEWARE!! They will usually tell you they love you REAL FAST just so to get your emotions involved. Their only purpose is to get you to marry them.

The sad truth is, for every real profile you see on the internet, there are numerous false ones pretending to be your perfect mate and they are using photographs stolen from modeling agencies or social networking sites. The people in the photographs are as much victims as the people who get scammed for love, hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars.

INTERNET ROMANCE SCAMS AND OTHER RELATED SCAMS AND OTHER RELATED CRIMES ARE VERY REAL, AND THEY ARE AFFECTING EVEN RUINING--LIVES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

THE BEST WEAPON AGAINST CRIME IS EDUCATION. The more people that are educated in the ways the scams work, the harder it is for the scammers to DECEIVE PEOPLE, and the more scammers that can be put out of business.

I am writing this to you because I have been approached even on facebook, and also I know a young lady in my home town about two years ago who was murdered by someone who she meet online. She had 4 children. Just because people say God, God that doesn't mean nothing. Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light. We must be careful and make wise choices! I am all about helping shed light on areas that needs to be lite up and this subject is crucial especially today.

I am not at all against meeting someone online, just BE CAREFUL AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK.

BE WISE AS A SERPENT AND HARMLESS AS A DOVE. YOU WANT LOVE, BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SCAMMED!!!

In anguish and frustration I will cry out to my Father. I will say everything that my heart is feeling. I will cry and mourn for the pain that I am feeling. God always knows and understands. Never do I have to explain things to Him. He always comforts me and lift me up in His presence.

"You've got to maintain and keep your blessing."

‎
Vashti was blessed with a king. Like so many of God's children we are blessed in so many areas of our lives and we don't even notice it. We take things for granted that others wished that they had. We treat them like they don't even matter. Vashti, didn't even realize... how fortunate she was to have such a good life. She let pride and arrogance rule her. She took for granted her blessings. Perhaps she had forgotten where she had came from; whatever the case she soon lost her blessings. What she had was stripped from her and was awarded to someone else. She then became a commoner; not favored, or for a lack of better words not blessed anymore.

God has brought us from a mighty long way. We once was in sin, and in utter darkness; but because of Jesus, and what he did on Calvary we now are blessed and highly favored by the King of all Kings. We mustn't refuse the King when he calls us like Vashti did . We should run to do whatever the King tells us to do. We must not forget it is because of his love that we are heirs to his throne. As Christians born again we must understand that we have the greatest gifts/blessings ever given to man and that's the gift of eternal life.

Vashti, like us had a great gift of being the queen, sitting along side the king when privy to, but she took her position in the palace for granted. We must learn from her mistake. We are in favor with God because of the blood of Jesus. He is our savior, He has bought us with a price. It was nothing that we done or has earned, but through the kindness of the Father He let His Son be put to death to pay for us to now be sitting in Heavenly places. Our names are written on the Lamb's book of life, but we must be sure to guard our Christian walk. We must always remember the great price that was paid and never trample over the blood of Jesus. We cannot do or live any kind of way just because we are his children. We are not our own for we were bought with a price. Actually, because we are his children we should walk circumspectly and not as fools. We are a peculiar people, and a royal priesthood; a chosen generation. Our life's belong solely to the King. We are to obey his wish and command for our life's. In doing this we may bring glory to the Father.

We must seek to please the King at all times. We must be eager to hear even his faintest call to us. Our attention and aim should always be on pleasing
The Most High. With this attitude the Father will be honored by our ways; because our ways unlike Vashti's ways will always pleased the King.

"HAVE YOU PLUGGED INTO THE SOURCE TODAY?"

David was always looking to The Father as his source of strength. In this passage: Psalm 25:16-22 David enlisted the Father's help several times. Here is his requests: Turn to me, show me mercy, free me, help me, forgive me, look at my trials, protect me, and save me. You see David knew that he was weak, and he knew where to go to get his help from. That is why he stated that, "My help comes from the Lord."

SCRIPTURE REFERENCE: Psalms 25:16-22 (Easy read bible) I am hurt and lonely. Turn to me, show me mercy. Free me from my troubles. Help me solve my problems. Look at my trials and troubles. Forgive me for all the sins I have done. Look at all the enemies I have. They hate me, and want to hurt me. Protect me! Save me from them! I come to you for protection, so don't let me be disappointed. You are good and do what is right. I trust you to protect me. God, save the people of Israel from all their enemies.

Sometimes we are so bent on handling life, and it's problems on our own, not enlisting the help of The Almighty God until we can't handle it anymore or until we are about to loose our minds. But God is always our source of strength whether we choose to rely on him or not. Imagine this, your power source is your electric company. You have made the connection with the source of electricity, but you choose to sit in darkness, stumbling around hurting yourself, until you can't take it any more. Soon you decide to turn on the light. As soon as you do things become much better, more clearer, and easier.

Why would you go through your problems or trials alone? Silly question; because we all have done it. But why? Maybe, to prove a point that you are strong or independent, and that you don't need the help. I don't know?? Or maybe you get into a slump, and forget to plug in with the source of our strength; which is the Father. We forget to plug in to the word of God; not realizing that it is how we get our fuel to fight, or to simple stand and see the salvation of God. Without plugging in with The Father we will have to stumble around in the dark--handling life, and our problems on our own. However; those who stay co-dependent on God like David did will always have God as their help. They will never have to go at life alone. They will never have to handle their problems alone. The will always enlist the help of the Father because they know that life is too hard for them without Him. In prayer they will say co-dependent words like David said, "Turn to me, Show me mercy, free me, help me, forgive me, look at my trials , protect me, and save me."

David was not ashamed to be totally dependent on God, and unless we are totally dependent on the Father we won't ever know that protection that David knew. With every new day Let's get plugged in to the source of our strength. Don't rely on the anointing that carried you through yesterday. Get a fresh new anointing for a new day. It's like the fresh bread that the Priest in the bible days had to offer as a sacrifice unto the Lord. It had to be fresh!

Psalms 46:1-2 says, "God is our refuge and strength always ready to help in times of trouble..." He is ready, make that connection daily!

HEAVEN IS THE FINISH LINE! DON'T GIVE UP UNTIL YOU FINISH THE RACE. LET NOTHING STOP YOU. EVEN IF YOU GET TIRED, REST BUT DON'T QUIT! KEEP PRESSING ON!!!

"When I Looked at the wicked I almost slipped."

‎David was a man that loved God, but what's even greater God loved David best. He was a man after God's own heart, but even David foot almost slipped when he began looking back at how much the wicked was prospering.

Just recently I had an episode of doubting. Yes, I said doubting! I am sure that we have all have had times in our life's that we have wondered if doing right really ever pays off; especially, when you see the unrighteous seeming to always be getting ahead.

I was quickly remained by a good friend that overall who was I going to stand before. In other words; what may seem like it's okay now may not be okay on the JUDGMENT DAY, but not only that; our ULTIMATE goal is to be like Jesus and not the world.

David only begin to slip when he looked at the world. My point is that we shouldn't even be looking at the world.

Like Peter who had taken his eyes off of Jesus to look around, we too will began to sin in our walk with Christ too if we began to look around and compare ourselves to the world.

Sure the world may seem like they are having a grand ole time, but sin only last for a season, and yes many are the afflictions of the righteous, but God will deliver them out of them all. Hello! God will deliver....God is in charge of what?? To deliver us. Notice I said to deliver us because like the old saints used to say, "Oh how I want to be in that number, when the saints go marching in." That will be the ultimate day of our deliverance. It will make all of our suffering her worth it all.

I know that THE WAY may not always be easy, but Jesus promised that IF we would suffer with Him then we would reign with him. God is not slack concerning his promises. So keep your eyes fixed upon Jesus, and remember no matter how rough the storms may get JESUS IS STILL ON THE BOAT. Keep the faith and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and not the world. For narrow is the gate that leads to eternal life and few be that find it. Those that do find it, and don't stay the course will not obtain the prize.

HEAVEN IS THE FINISH LINE! DON'T GIVE UP UNTIL YOU FINISH THE RACE. LET NOTHING STOP YOU. EVEN IF YOU GET TIRED, REST BUT DON'T QUIT! KEEP PRESSING ON!!!
