Faith is dynamic. It grows and changes from one day to
another. When things appear hard or difficult it’s because we haven’t asked for
the faith to do what that specific day requires of us. This is why, when we pray,
we ask for, “our daily bread.”
Yeah, life gets challenging, but I thank God. My hope is
that when I pray for more faith for my daily tasks and challenges, that faith
will be available to me through the Holy Spirit.
Faith is dynamic. It is not static or stationary. Faith
comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. We must hear the Word over
and over and over and over…..forever and ever and ever and ever and ever….Amen?
Be Blessed

I am rather moved by the song that is
ministering to me at this very moment. It’s amazing how you speak to your
children through music and song. I hear you loud and clear God asking me if my
spirit and soul will say yes to all that you have called me to be. The question
is am I willing to give up my friends, family, desires, comfort, and all that I
hold dear to my heart to follow Jesus? My soul, my mind, and my heart say,
“YES”. Whatever it is that you want me to say, I will say. Whatever it is that
you want me to do, I’ll do. Where ever you want me to go, I’ll go.
How can I call you my Lord if I am not willing
to obey you and do your will? How can I truly follow you Lord, if I am not
willing to let some people and some things go? I feel you calling me higher and
I say, “YES”. I am your child and you are my guide, my help, my hope, my teacher, my everything. I desire to please you more than
I desire to please my weak flesh. I desire to please you more than I desire to
please people. Yes Lord, Yes Lord……I say yes!!!!
I love you so much and I am nothing without
you. Take me Lord I am yours. For my soul, my mind, and my heart say “YES”. I
give it all up to follow you. Lord, you said “and anyone who does not
carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple (Luke

It's not just you...You have a witness.
Temptation is so powerful and I think we can get so used to sin, especially
when it feels so good. The thing is, when we’re
steadily engaging in the act, emotions get involved. Not only that, we capture
the other person's spirit. A lot of times that spirit torments us and wreaks
havoc in our lives. That spirit is so powerful, cunning and deceitful that it
can take over the gentle spirit we possess and can cause us to be spiritually
schizophrenic.
Have you ever felt that you were involved in a
relationship that was not spiritually good for you and it affects all other
areas of your life? It seemed like everything started crumbling around you? A
lot of times, we make excuses for people. “Oh...he's a good man, he's smart,
intelligent, gives me money and has a good business sense, but...he's lacking
one thing.” While he may go to church out of obligation, you find him reading
The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, The Economist, etc. This impresses
you, but you never stop to think, "Why don't I ever see him reading the
bible?" Eventually, you become so intertwined with this person that things
rub off on you, both good and bad and you become detached from the people and
things that you once held so dearly. It doesn’t matter how strong you think you
are. Sin is so hard to stop. Especially if it's more complex than just sleeping
with a man out of wedlock, like when deeper issues are involved that you dare
to tell no one.
When God is nowhere in the plan, your gentle
spirit eventually manifests itself into an unhappy and tormented spirit. You feel
me? The only thing to do is cry out and allow God to heal those wounds one at a
time and re-introduce your personality.

This scripture is my testimony. I had
those feelings for many years; even when I called myself, "having a
man". The Lord removed all distractions from Him and then I really
felt lonely until He showed me that He was all I needed. I went through a
period of feeling like I was being cursed or forsaken. But, when I
finally received that Word into my spirit (James
