You Can Let The World Beat You Down, or You Could Just Play The Background

I think this song is absolutely phenomenal, and the message is much needed in the present times. The song talks about yielding to the Holy Spirit and letting Him guide us rather than taking life into our own hands. If we do that, we are destined to fail. We need Him to guide us in all things. I encourage you to listen to this song a number of time throughout the day and just focus on the lyrics. He is an amazing lyricist and is delivering a powerful message to the world through his music that He wrote.

If You Fake, You Will Bake, In The Lake

 Lately, exactly what it means to be a Christian has been on my heart a lot. Being a Christian is much more than people think. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian. Believing in God doesn't pave your way to Heaven. Reading your Bible doesn't make you Holy. There is much more to it than that. It is about the relationship that you build with Him as you journey through life. I do want to say that I am not a perfect example. I am not pointing fingers. I am just here in attempt to open eyes.

Going to Church Doesn't Make You a Christian

Religion is one of the biggest lies within God's realm. He hates it. Mindless drones meandering into a cathedral every single Sunday morning, falling asleep during the message, and pursuing their own ambitions during the week. They are living for a paycheck, laboring in vain, and living without purpose. Although God has a plan for each of them, they will never know it until they choose to diligently seek him and ask earnestly. He waits patiently at the door of our heart, constantly knocking, but we turn a deaf ear to Him. As He watches us struggle through life wondering where He is, He weeps the loss of His children. It is so important to open that door, and take that first step of Faith! Allow Him to enter into your heart and change who you are. It is time we live beyond ourselves and give it all to Him!

Believing in God Doesn't Pave Your Way to Heaven

James 2:19 (NKJV) "You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!" Just simply believing that He exists is NOT enough, James says that even the demons believe! If that is all we do is believe He exists, we are no better than they. Christ desires a relationship with us, not just our belief. We need both to please Him.


Reading The Bible Doesn't Make You Holy
There are a lot of people out there that are able to quote and misquote the Bible really well. This, however, does not mean much if they do not fully understand what they are speaking of. Almost anyone can read, memorize, and quote the Word of God in and out of context. It is super easy! When you open your Bible, you embark on a journey through His mighty Word. His Word is His Will and Testament to us as believers, and His promises are made clear in His Word. It is much more than words on paper, it is the LORD speaking directly to us. As we  diligently seek after Him and His purpose for our lives by reading daily, the Holy Spirit will bring revelation knowledge to us through His Word. If you are simply reading the Bible to say you have read the Bible or to impress others with your "holiness," I would challenge you to stop wasting your time. Start seeking after Him with everything you have. Let the Word speak to you, rather than you read through it.


These are just a few of the things that have been on my heart that He has been sharing with me. Writing a blog does not make a person knowledgeable. I am simply following my Guide. I do not consider myself to be a writer in any sense of the word. This blog was put on my heart and the words I speak are almost never my own. I give all the Glory to my LORD and Savior, Jesus. I am but a servant for His Kingdom, following the orders from headquarters. If you read my testimony, I never thought I would be where I am. I am blessed and highly favored, and I live my life for He that gave me life. I challenge you to examine your life. Look where you are  and where you are headed. Open your heart to the tender mercies of the LORD, and He will give you the direction you require. Anyone can attend a service, even the demons believe in God, and anyone with a second grade reading level can quote the Bible.

Restore Me Father..

This is an amazing song that I just wanted to take some time to share. The message that the author added is phenomenal! I can not even watch this video without tearing up. I hope you all enjoy it, take some time to rest in the LORD and just listen to Him speak to you through this song.

Was His Pain in Vain? Cause The Lives We Live Are Insane

I do not think Christians today fully realize what happened the day Jesus went to the cross. The world was forever changed; eternal resting places were diverted to Heaven instead of hell. We were made whole again due to His work. We should be forever rejoicing the events that took place, for the spotless Lamb's blood that was shed that day. His pure and bountiful blood washed over us to cover up every sin we have committed and will commit. 

It was much more than just salvation from eternal damnation. He gave us the opportunity to claim our riches not only in Heaven, but those on this planet! His plans call for us to prosper! How are Christians supposed to reach out and supply to the needy what they themselves are lacking? So many people get offended at the success of other Christians. Offense stems from pride, they are jealous of the success of their own brothers and sisters have received from the LORD. We are blessed to be a blessing folks!

Romans 5:17 (Amplified Bible) "For if because of one man's trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)."

Jesus went to the cross so that we believers could receive God's overflowing unmerited favor, and He put us in right standing with God so that we may reign as kings in life! Kings are taken care of in every fashion! It is time to claim the blessings that the Cross bought for us! Christians are not supposed to be living a down-trodden life! We need to claim the victory! Praise be to Jesus, and glory to God for what He sent His Son to do! We need to be thankful every single day for the victory that He delivered to us, and CLAIM IT!

Is Healing Appealing?

Healing seems to be a controversial subject between denominations of Christianity. I find it interesting when people say that the reason they don't believe in healing is because they have never witnessed it. Usually people don't witness healing because they do not acquire the Faith for it and that ultimately stems from the fact that their church does not teach on it. However, churches that teach on healing and believe God still heals get to consistently witness it firsthand.

It is important to understand that healing did not go out the window when Jesus Christ left the earth. In fact, Jesus said this in John 14:12-14...

"¹² “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. ¹³ And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If you ask anything in My name, I will do it."


So, not only did Jesus say that we will perform all of the same works that He showed us, but we will do greater works! How is it possible, then, that we, as Christians, sit back and do nothing while we have friends laying sick with cancer, or living their life in a wheelchair?

It is also important to understand that sickness is never used by God to teach us a lesson. When God created the world is was good and perfect; Adam and Eve had zero imperfections. Because they were sinless, they wandered the wilderness naked and never suffered any afflictions. It was only when they ate the forbidden fruit that Sin entered the world, bringing with it sickness and disease. Adam brought it into the world through sin, and Jesus, the Second Adam, took it out of this world through perfection.

If sickness was part of God's plan, then why did Jesus go around healing everyone he came across? He is not a God of confusion, He would not put sickness on us merely to have His only begotten son meander on by and heal them of the very infirmity He placed on them! If sickness was part of God's plan, Jesus would be working against His father, and that would create discord within the Kingdom! Mark 3:24 clearly states, "²⁴ If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand."


The healing power of Jesus Christ (Jehovah-Rapha) is living and active! Meditate on this. Study it out through the Gospels. Jesus left to be with the Father, but sent His Spirit down so that we may do greater works than what He did. It was to our advantage that Jesus left (John 16:7). How could it possibly be to our advantage if He took away His healing power?

Is He a Lion? Or Is He Just Lyin'?

1Peter 5:8 (NKJ) "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."

When Peter wrote this, his words were chosen carefully and should stick out to you. Peter says, "Your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."

The enemy is NOT a lion, but he does everything in his power to intimidate like a roaring lion. The enemy knows that he can't devour us unless we allow it (...seeking whom he may devour.) Once we cowl in fear and start shaking in our boots, he is able to strike. Our lack of Faith in the LORD and His promises, create a chasm between us and the Father. He so desperately wants to provide and protect us. As we let fear in, we drive faith out.

The enemy chooses to be like a roaring lion because he knows there is only one real roaring lion, the Lion of Judah. Revelation 5:5 (NASB) "...Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals."

The enemy tries to mimic Jesus because He is the true King of the jungle. We have two paths that we can walk in this life. We can either choose to live in fear, or walk by faith and not by sight. The choice is ours. The choice is easy.

Promises of God Pt. I -Impossible is Nothing-

Luke 18:27 (AMP)  "But He said, What is impossible with men is possible with God."

As we go through life, following the plans that He has for us, we will encounter obstacles. As we stay true to what He had called us to do, He will empower us to accomplish it.

Philippians 4:13 (AMP)  "I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency]."

He will always provide us with whatever we need to accomplish His plans for our lives. No matter how tired we may get as we labor, we know that our laboring will not go in vain, because we labor for the King of Kings.

Matthew 11:28-30 (AMP)  "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.]  (29)  Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest ( relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. (30)  For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good--not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne."

A Light So Bright, Its Got To Be Right!

John 8:12 (NASB) Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life."

This Light of life lives on the inside of us! As it radiates out of us, that Light is what makes us different from those around us. We represent the Kingdom as we go through our days. As we walk amongst the living dead, we have the opportunity to minister to the zombies of this planet.

The best tool we have as believers is the Light that emanates from us due to the joy in our heart. As we understand the promises that God offers through His Word, we should be the most joyous people on this earth! Whenever you leave a conversation, people will either feel better or worse for the experience. We need to make sure as ambassadors of Christ that we are representing Him well and that we are doing everything in our power to let His glory shine through us to others.

We as Christians have a huge responsibility on our hands to reach out! This is The Great Commission!

Mark 16:15 (AMP)  And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach and publish openly the good news (the Gospel) to every creature [of the whole human race].

We cannot miss this, the Gospel is the only message that brings freedom! Nothing of this world can bring true liberation to the hearts of people. As hearts are in bondage to the world, the Gospel is the weapon to break the chains!

He Will Transpire a Fire of Desire to Inspire

Matthew 3:11-12 (The Message) "I'm baptizing you here in the river, turning your old life in for a kingdom life. The real action comes next: The main character in this drama—compared to him I'm a mere stagehand—will ignite the kingdom life within you, a fire within you, the Holy Spirit within you, changing you from the inside out. He's going to clean house—make a clean sweep of your lives. He'll place everything true in its proper place before God; everything false he'll put out with the trash to be burned."

As that fire gets ignited within us, we have a responsibility as Christians to spread that flame. As we allow the flame of His Spirit to consume us and we reach out unto the world, we spark flames within others. They look at us and see a difference within us. A simple spark is all we need to light this world into a blazing inferno for His glory! When we are living as we ought, others will be able to feel the presence and love of the LORD when they are around us.

We cannot just play church. What is the point of going to church, getting into His word, and investing that time if you are not going to let it change you? If we act as the world acts, we will have no influence. But as we let His spirit cleanse and transform who we are from the inside out, He will give us influence. People gravitate to those who take a stand for what they believe in. If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.

Ephesians 5:2 (Amplified Bible) And walk in love, [esteeming and delighting in one another] as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a slain offering and sacrifice to God [for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance.

We have all felt alone at times, some more than others. You might be praying to the LORD for Him to put someone in your life, whether it is just a new friend, a future spouse, or just a stranger with a random act of kindness. Do not feel as though your prayers have gone unanswered, for He has heard our cries as we diligently seek Him. Unfortunately, He relies on people such as ourselves to reach out and answer those prayers for His glory. As He puts it on hearts around us to reach out, the enemy will do everything in his power to interfere.

As He puts things on our hearts to do for others, how many times do we ignore it? How many times do we make excuses? "I don't have time." "Helping a stranger is uncomfortable." There are millions of excuses you can use to reason away what God has told you to do. The truth about the situation is that God has placed that on our hearts to answer their prayers. We need to take the focus off of ourselves and start displaying God's love through our actions. We will be able to spark everlasting flames and the number of lives we change will be incalculable.

God Shaped Hole

Matthew 6:2 (NASB) "So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full."

1 Samuel 16:7 (NASB) "...for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

When we go through life seeking after the riches of this world rather than the kingdom of God, we will always feel empty. We must instead focus on God and what He has in store for us. He will fill us with completeness when we seek after His riches and glory. Trying to fill the empty void inside of our hearts with money, objects, or people will never work. We will always be empty.

Matthew 6:32-33 (NASB) "For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

As we seek out the kingdom and what God has for us to do while we are on this planet, He will provide for us. Things of this world will always eventually disappear and turn to dust. Things of the kingdom of heaven, however, will always last forever. 

Jesus in Every Book of the Bible

This video was shown to me, it is an amazing video about a child preaching who Jesus is in every single book of the Bible! It is amazing! I hope you all enjoy it and pray that it will give you insight!

That's My King! Do You Know Him?

This is an absolutely fantastic video that I thought I would share with everyone! It is super important we understand who Jesus is, and I think this video does a magnificent job in summing it up! Enjoy!
