I was sharing with one of the Ministers the other day how I make decisions that pertain to my personal safety and well-being. I said: "Before I decide how risky I want to be, I think about all of the people, programs and organizations that depend on me to be whole." She said: "Aaaahhhhhhh"... So, YES; I will continue being hyper-vigilant about coronavirus. Back in March I expressed - right here on FB - that this virus and pandemic are designed such that *only the strong will survive*... Strong in physical health, mental health, financial health, emotional intelligence, business acumen, and in good ole' common sense. If you're going to make it through this, you've got to be STRONG. Leaders: There are people, programs and organizations... whole town systems are depending on you. Check out this quote from the attached article: "So many town leaders have died in such a short time that the impact has been profound, Tjarks said. Who will fill Timmins’s shoes as a mentor for young referees in the state high school athletic association? Who will raise money for the veteran’s park and the rodeo stampede now that state legislator Lance Carson is gone? There would be smaller absences too: her neighbor, John, now missing from the morning group at the doughnut shop." https://www.washingtonpost.com//south-dakota-mitchell-co/

Go and celebrate with a feast of rich foods and sweet drinks, and share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared. This is a sacred day before our Lord. Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the Lord is your strength! - Nehemiah 8:10 #Thanksgiving2020 #StillThankful

Grab a hold if this declaration in Job 5:19-27 From six troubles He will deliver you, Even in seven evil will not touch you. #1 In famine He will redeem you from death, And in war from the power of the sword.... #2 You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, And you will not be afraid of violence when it comes. #3 You will laugh at violence and famine, And you will not be afraid of wild beasts. #4 For you will be in league with the stones of the field, And the beasts of the field will be at peace with you. #5 You will know that your tent is secure, For you will visit your abode and fear no loss. #6 You will know also that your descendants will be many, And your offspring as the grass of the earth. #7 You will come to the grave in full vigor, Like the stacking of grain in its season. Behold this; we have investigated it, and so it is. Hear it, and know for yourself.

Words of wisdom for you this day...

The Aaronic Blessing is the Lord's blessing on us all. It was given - straight from the Lord's own mouth - in Numbers 6:24-26. "The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord cause His face to shine on you, And be gracious to you. The Lord lift up His face to you, And give you peace."

May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor... and give you his peace.’ Numbers 6:24-26

Hear what Bishop Wooden (Upper Room COGIC) said about Hillary Clinton, Margaret Sanger, Lieutenant Gov Dan Forest (N. Carolina), Dr. Martin L King Jr., The Woke Church, Planned Parenthood, and the Black Race. This is one of the best discussions *on this topic* I've heard coming from the *Black Church*. This is a topic "WE" don't talk about in public, but WE DO talk about it in 1:1s. Bishop Wooden brought scriptural truth, historical facts and current social context togeth...er to present one strong message from the #BlackChurch to the #BlackCommunity. This is key. https://youtu.be/IaHioK3Ljz0

Kingdom Leaders' Bible Study

Kingdom Leaders Bible Study with Pastor Michelle Topic: Choosing Leaders Well Text: Deuteronomy 1:1-18 (NASB, CJB, NLT) Leadership Points... Leaders must anticipate and prepare for the challenges ahead; but challenges must never stop you from moving forward. In anything we do for the Lord we will encounter challenges. Leaders must know when, how and to whom to delegate responsibilities to. The increase of size is both a blessing and a burden. Carefully choose your leaders. Discern well. The ones you choose are the ones you’ll have to persist with as they grow into that leadership role. Leaders must be will and able to judge situations with perfect fairness and impartiality. In doing so, the decisions you make are God’s decisions. Fairness and impartiality are on the heart of God. It’s His leaders’ job to carry out His heart. Leaders cannot run from, or avoid, making hard judgements and decision. Do not abdicate your responsibilities. Leaders must not forget succession planning, even though it can be very, very challenging. See more

It is with a heart of sorrow and acceptance that Pastor Verna Brown shares with us the home going of Pastor Rick. He has transitioned to his new life, free from the limitations of life on earth. God's sovereign will has been accomplished and we believe His plan is one of LOVE. Pastors Rick and Verna were Ministers of Worship at Philadelphia Worship Center along side of the late Pastor Wade prior to their founding Soul Harvest Church. We will continue holding Pastor Verna ...and the Soul Harvest family in our in prayers. Let the Church say amen. - With love, Pastor Michelle Walker-Wade

Ps 66:16-20.... Come and hear, all who fear God, And I will tell of what He has done for my soul. I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was extolled with my tongue. If I regard wickedness in my heart,... The Lord will not hear; But certainly God has heard; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer Nor His lovingkindness from me. See more

Believe it or not, this whole LEFT vs RIGHT, DEMs vs GOP, RED vs BLUE is the very entity and argument that's going to keep the Church divided. I know most of you cannot give up debating your side using these two terms - even though there are plenty of laws, precepts and parables in the Bible we can (and should) use exegetically to bring TRUTH to the many, many, many lies we're grappling with. However, this is key to unity. If you can't give that up, know we'll never re...ach unity. Own it. I'm torn... I want to share the contents of this blog, but I don't want to share it because Murrillo continuously uses terms like "Leftist". I would feel the same way if he was calling out "the Right" because of the reasons explained above. I HATE the disunifiying results of left/right... period. Having said that, here's the blog. Please don't just be surprised by the headline. The intent jaw-dropping headlines is to get you to REACT but not READ and THINK. Read the article, though. X out the "leftst" labels and just think about the content. CHRISTIANS REPENTING FOR BEING WHITE https://mariomurilloministries.wordpress.com//christians-/ via @MarioMurilloMin

I just stumbled across this old video of Pastor Wade preaching at Mountain's Hope. Be blessed by it. https://www.pscp.tv/MountainsHope/1yoJMDQvLzOGQ#

I do not condone the looting and the acts of rage.... and keep in mind, many of those act are not being done by the protestors who are there for the cause, which is LONG TERM AND SYSTEMIC ABUSE OF POWER & POLICE BRUTALITY AGAINST PEOPLE OF COLOR. However, Psalms 82:5 in the MSG translation explains what happens when judicial systems practice unjust actions over and over again. This is not a new problem for US. WE have endured this for over 155 years. We have spoken up. We hav...Continue reading

No matter which side you fall in politically... "It’s wrong to conveniently adjust your theology to meet the political needs of the moment." The tenicles of our faith are rooted in the Gospel of the Kingdom which Christ preached; and to know THAT gospel, and to attempt to align the fullness therein with either political party agendas will result in a shortfall. https://frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/christianity-today-ex
