He is my only hope

Happy Sunny Days Faithwalkers,

I hope everyone's last semester is winding down well as we enter Summer Break.I have been pretty swell, Blessed, Fantabulous (that's fantastic and fabulous together incase you didn't know).

  
  With so much confusion in our culture and today's society on topics of abortion, homosexuality, and racial division I thought I would write a message on hope. Yes, I want you to stand on the Hope of Christ, and stand strong in what you believe. It is often frustrting to be labeled a person who hates others due to our opposing beliefs. This is not true. People confuse dislike, with hate. 

   We are one body in Christ so therefore there is no racial division amongst us as believers. It's not us against them, but us (believers), figting together against the wiles of the Devil. There is a misunderstanding on what Love truly is in Christ, we love all people, but we will never agree with the sinful nature of man. Why? Because anything that goes against God's word can never be accepted.


  If people tell you, "everybody deserves a little ratchet every now and then", remember Christ said, "Be ye Holy, for I am Holy". When our culture says, you are not "living" when you won't agree to party, drink, behave promiscuosly,and lve like a rebel remember scripture tells us, "not to walk in the counsel of the ungodly" and we have found life in Christ. As the culture continues to press upon us to get money at any cost to our dignity, sanity and soul, live however we please and worry about the consequences later; I have a message for you, from God, your life as a daughter or son of God must continue to be apart of the counterculture of believers who refuse to Bend. 
     But I am like a green olive tree
    in the house of God.
I trust in the steadfast love of God
    forever and ever.  Psalm 52:8    

   Never apologize for not compromising! Yea, I said it. I make no apologies for believing in God. Be Bold, Courageous and Proud of who you are, because everyone else in the world is gladly parading around their sinful lifestyle. It's time for you to sprout like a olive tree and continue to Boast on how Great our GOD is. In the end we continue too realize God is truly our only HOPE!

 Laugh in the face of the enemy. Smile in the face of opposition.

to Know His Love

 Happy Monday Faith-walkers,

    I thought all morning what would be the best way to encourage those who read my blog this week, and instantly this article came to mind. What does it mean to really know the love of Christ? How do you describe it? Obtain it? How does a person express this love to others? 
     Ephesians 3:17-19 "That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God." 

     The Love of Jesus is beyond measure. It is important that we do not forget this all encompassing factor of Jesus' Love. When Paul wrote this letter he wanted to impress upon the church of Ephesus to be filled with the love of God, we must know the love of Christ. And now I tell you to know the breadth, length, height and depth of His Love.......

 The rest of this article, "to Know His Love" can be found in Blessed BeYond Belief Magazine Jan/ Feb issue. Go now to: www.bbbmagazine.co.nr

I AM LOVED. YOU ARE LOVED. WE ARE LOVED.

Make everyday A Day of Faith.

Love. Faith. Strength. 

You can Survive the valley

   "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever" (Psalm 23: 4-6).

   Recently on the news there was a 7-year-old girl, Sailor Gutzler who is the lone survivor in a plane crash. She walked nearly a mile through the woods in her bare feet to get help. I know that God was with Sailor and He protected her. As Sailor traveled through the woods, so many things could have went wrong... BUT GOD! You should shout off of that. Sailor survived for a reason and a purpose and many may not see it now, but I know that God has a plan for her. The plane was completely demolished. 
  How is it possible Sailor walked through the woods in the middle of the night with no guide? God was the light guiding her, ordering her steps, leading her to safety, keeping her going. As Sailor walked through the valley of the shadow of death, she feared no evil. For God was with her. Goodness and mercy shall follow her all the days of her life.
     If you haven't figured it out now, you are protected in the valley's of life. You survived! How did you make it out... It was nobody but God! When God has a covering on your life that doesn't stop you from experiencing trouble, but no matter what comes your way, I declare to you today, that you will not die, but you shall live. No matter what you face in 2015. YOU CAN SURVIVE!
