Turn It Over To Jesus It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. My brother, my sister, life can be the best thing, and it can also be the worst thing. It can bring the best people, and it can bring the worse people. It can bring a smile to your face, and it can cause tears to run from your eyes. It can present many opportunities, and it can pose many obstacles. Do you realize every day there are peop...le around you dealing with more than you are? No matter how they smile on your face, they are dealing with extreme circumstances. I have come to realize we, as a people, have learned how to fake our smiles. We act as if everything is okay, but within we are seconds from a breakdown. Have you ever been there? Are you there now? Beloved, no matter how life’s circumstances change, you can always count on the Lord. No matter how people behave toward you, you can always count on the Lord. No matter how stressed out you become, you can always count on the Lord. The Bible declares in Psalms 46:1 - God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. As your day unfolds, I need you to understand there is nothing you deal with that God cannot handle for you. Today, it is time for you to realize you have tried everything and everyone. Now it is time for you to stand on the promises of God. My friend, Turn It Over To Jesus He’ll Work It Out! If you do not believe me, think back over your own life. Where you are today seemed impossible years ago. After all the things you did, the places you went, people, you hung around, activities you performed. If He was God then, He is God now! The Bible declares in Malachi 3:6 - For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore, ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Scripture Reading for Today: Hebrews 13:8, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. May God Bless you at Your point of need!

Focus It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. My brother, my sister, I do not want to take too much of your time this morning, but I need to speak this word into your spirit. Beloved, instead of worrying about what someone else is doing, FOCUS ON THE... ASSIGNMENT(S) GOD GAVE YOU! My friend, there is too much moaning and groaning taking place in the body of Christ. There is too much finger pointing and criticizing within the body. If each of us would focus on the work God has anointed us to perform, we would have less time to gossip about others. As Christians, we must no, we need to set the right examples. The Bible declares in 1 Thessalonians 4:11 - And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; Scripture Reading for Today: 2 Corinthians 5:20 May God Bless you at Your point of need!

Are You Available For Service? It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever had a desire to do whatever it took to please the Lord? No matter what people said or how they reacted toward you, pleasing the Lord was the only thing you desired to do. Have you ever had people treat you differently after you committed to doing the Lord’s will? As long as you were doing what they wanted you to do, there were no problems. As soon as you took a stand for the Lord Jesu...s Christ, everything and everyone began to attack you. It is amazing to see how much warfare we endure after saying ‘yes to the Lord. The enemy knows God has great things in store for us. He knows God has anointed us for greater works. He knows this, and for these reasons, attacks are sent your way. This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. My friend, Are You Available for Service? One of my brothers in Christ told me when you are in the military reserves, you have instructions always to be prepared for [that] phone call. The phone call comes to inform you that it is time to report for duty. No matter where you are or what you are doing, you must make your way to the instructed destination. Just as the worldly system has rules and guidelines, so does God. When we accept the Lord as our personal Savior, we become a part of the ‘Army of God.’ While the world places a phone call when it is time to report, we are expected to always be on duty as Christians. Some people come into our contact each day. Are you impacting them for the Lord? Are you changing their lives for the glory of God? Can the Lord trust you to encourage someone else? My brother, my sister, Are You Available for Service? This is the question, what is your answer? Scripture Reading for Today: John 4:23-24, Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and truth. May God Bless you at Your point of need!

Keep Going It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever wondered what God’s plan for your life was? You’ve come to the conclusion that after all I have been through, the Lord is preparing me for something awesome. I have heard many people say, you can tell how great God’s assignment for you will be based on the amount of hell you face. Quickly, take a moment and think about the struggles you have endured since 2021 began. From the beginning the devil has be...en attacking you, your home, and everything connected to you. Apparently, he knows his time is limited and what God is preparing you for is soon to come. Have you ever felt a push within your spirit? The more you want to give up, the greater the push becomes. Just when you decided to give up, the Holy Spirit quickened your spirit. Have you ever been there? Are you there now? Today, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. I know how it feels to want to give up on life. There appears to be more going against you than for you. While you know God is up to something, currently things appear chaotic. Child of God, trouble does not last always. Yes, you are currently experiencing challenges. Yes, you are enduring attacks. Yes, things could be better in your life. Yes, you are tired of this roller coaster ride known as life. My friend, Keep Going! The reason things appear so dark is because you have not finished going through. When we complain, worry, doubt and/or lose the faith, this means we have taken our eyes off of Jesus and now we’re focusing on our surroundings. The Bible declares in Hebrews 12:2 - Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. My brother, my sister, what are you dealing with today? What circumstance do you find yourself faced with? What dilemma are you caught in the middle of? Have you taken your eyes off of the Lord? Beloved, no matter how well connected you proclaim to be, each of us will be faced with challenges in our life. No matter how many degrees hang on your wall, you will be faced with something that your education cannot discern. No matter how much money you have in the bank or stocks you invest in, you will be faced with trials that money cannot buy you out of. In spite of it all, Keep Going! Just because your life does not look the way you would like it to, does not mean God is not working on your behalf. The Bible declares in Philippians 1:6 - Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Scripture Reading for Today: Matthew 14:22-36 May God Bless you at Your point of need!

Our service today was on testimonies. I pray you enjoy. https://youtu.be/IqL6Ie8j3n0

This is for all the people It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Today, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. My brother, my sister, I have been instructed by the Holy Spirit to sow this one scripture into your spirit. This is for all the people who wonder when things will get better.... This is for all the people who wonder when it will be their turn. This is for all the people who have cried themselves to sleep at night. This is for all the people who wonder where is God? This is for all the people who have not given up on the Lord. This is for all the people who still believe God will come through for them. This is for all the people who thought about giving up but have not. This is for all the people standing on the Word of God. This is for all the people experiencing chaos on the job This is for all the people enduring spiritual warfare. This is for all the people dealing with a dry season (financially, emotionally, spiritually) Beloved, thus saith the Lord To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven May God Bless you at Your point of need! (Ecclesiastes 3:1) Scripture Reading for Today: Ecclesiastes 7:8

It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever had someone tell you your faith was ridiculous? Because of your unwavering belief and trust in the Lord, someone had the nerve to tell you God would not do that for you. Just because they could not see it happening in their lives, they are now trying to discourage you from believing. Have you ever shared your dreams with someone and later wished you never opened your mouth? Your excitement pushed you to share with o...Continue reading

What's the Christian way to deal with toxic people in your life? Many Christians have this wrong idea that a Christ-follower has to be so accepting of other people that we would never stay away from them even if their presence in our lives is toxic and harmful; that we should always be there for them and help them see the light. After all, we believe that God can change them, right? And maybe He'll use us for that purpose, right? Hmm, let's talk about that....Continue reading

It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. My brother, my sister, do you realize God is knocking at the door of your heart? Do you realize He desires to come in and commune with you? Do you realize there is more in store for you than what you are currently doing? Do you realize God has a specific purpose for your life? The Bible declares in Revelation 3:20 - Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any ...man hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him and will sup with him, and he with Me. I do not know what you are faced with today. I do not know the dilemma you are currently dealing with. I do not know how awful things are at this point. However, I do know God is a God of opportunities. Beloved, It Starts At The Door! Open it and let the Lord in. Scripture Reading for Today: Matthew 7:7-8, Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

I have tried for hours to upload the video. It may show up. However, I am adding the sermon here. October 25, 2020 Surviving with Christ...Continue reading
