Hey now, it was an awesome time of fellowship mingling together at our first “Tea Party” Everybody jumped on board to contribute and show love to one another and to our leaders, who so graciously accommodated us wherever the need was. The finger foods were delicious and so plentiful that much was leftover but not wasted. It reminded me of the twelve baskets that was leftover in the miracle that Jesus performed (little finger foods- no fish, but plenty chicken fingers). One of

Ready or Not, You will Meet Jesus- Don’t be ashamed when He comes! This is the end of the mini-series about who we are in Christ, and it concludes with: “Are you prepared to meet Jesus?” This is what I imagine Jesus will say about His nail scarred prints - " I went through all this for you; took on your sins! “And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced (Zechariah 1

This is what many people don’t know about the blood of Jesus and what its whole purpose is. It is to cleanse us from sin. In fact, the precious blood of Jesus which has never lost its power to cleanse, the blood cleanses us from our past present and future sins. Jesus paid it all with His BLOOD! 1) The Penalty of Sin- We were delivered from the penalty of sin when Jesus died on the cross, was buried, and He rose from the dead (scrip). We are no longer in a sinful state; sin

Thanks Be to God, We are Not Condemned Anyone who falls short of God’s glory is not born again (Romans 3:23). ALL have sinned and fall short is for those who were not saved. Once we are born again this is what God says about us – He glorified us (please stop trying to change the Word of God). I have written before- God’s perspective is clear! He is not confined to time or space, there is no beginning nor end with Him, therefor from His perspective everything has already been

I want to concentrate on ONE word and it is ALL. The question was asked yesterday, what does ALL mean? Lexical Summary- all, any, every, the whole Comparison – In looking at the Word ALL, it should make a difference in the way one thinks when it comes to the use of the word. For born again believers the Lord gives us promises- For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us (2 Corinthians 1:20). But all are conditional except

Sinners Cannot Go to Heaven. I have written about “ For ALL have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God (Romans 3:23). However, this message is being written a different way to clear up any misunderstanding of who we are in Christ Jesus. Most people single out a scripture instead of reading what’s before and what is after to understand the Word within its proper context, which leads to misunderstanding and confusion. We know that God is not the Author of confusion, so w

Do You Know What Time It Is? Sin is increasingly on the rise which should cause the church to really be about our Father’s business. It is immanent that Jesus will be returning soon. This is what Jesus told the disciples: And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must

Not having biological children of my own, the Lord has blessed me with many nieces and nephews, and I am truly grateful. Ever since I have been back in New Jersey, the Lord has allowed me to travel to different places in Jersey and to the shore. It is with a grateful heart that friends, some nieces, and two nephews were included a few times. But there are a couple of them that I hung out with more. These are some of the places: Philadelphia, New York, Delaware, and Baltimore.

And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Christ Ascends to God’s Right Hand- So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord

The church at Corinth had been empowered by the Holy Spirit with the ability to function in all nine gifts as He chose to use them at any given time. Yet they were operating in the flesh. They had not grown; they thought they were mature. They did not think about glorifying God with these awesome abilities; they wanted self-glory, to be looked up to by others. Yet they were babes (1 Corinthians 3:1-3). Let’s see what carnal Christian means. We are saved, but the flesh takes c

Comparing Spiritual Things With Spiritual Things The saints in the church at Corinth were operating in the gifts, but their works were dead because of their carnality (operating in the flesh) which caused division. And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal. Fo

Have you ever been in a Bible Study Class and someone was teaching erroneously? I have, and the reason I knew they were wrong is because I study the Word for myself. It is dangerous to teach what you don’t know. For many years, the Lord has set me up in various places to bring correction to untruths. Not that I know it all. But my Biblical studies go back almost forty three years; of which thirty two of those years the Lord placed a teacher (five-fold ministry-Ephesians 4:11)

Which category do you fit in? Carnal Christians Who Walk in the Flesh ~ Versus Christians Walking in the Spirit First, let’s see what carnal Christian means. We are saved, but if we allow the flesh to take control it dominates. Carnal Christians are saved people who act like unsaved people. To be carnally minded is death (to suffer loss). For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for i

Yesterday, I posted a message about us being “wonderfully and fearfully” made by God. After watching the last funeral service for Jesse Jackson and heard his favorite quote “I am Somebody” I started writing and never knew that it was in conjunction with yesterday’s message. I watched two of the three funeral services for Jesse Jackson. This happened during the time my back was afflicted with pain and was homebound for a few days. Can you imagine me watching one service for mo

I see people posting images of themselves; it appears that they are trying to be more beautiful or they are using whatever means possible to enhance their looks. Today, I want to tell you how God views or what He thinks about you. Why is this being written? Because it is apparent that these people don’t like their looks. But Christians should not feel that way. I want to encourage you by sharing with you what the Word of God says about you. There has to be a root to why someo

This message a follow up from yesterday’s message about “Jumping Ahead of God.” Those who don’t bear fruit are similar to people who are not saved. They are carnal; acting like people of the world. We are to be careful when it comes to judging others “Judge not, that you be not judged. For what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider

We are living in the days when the church conducting themselves more like the world. The increase of the devil influencing the church is growing rapidly. Jesus told His disciples and us what would happen. These people could be saved and jumped into ministry on their without waiting on God, and it is evident that they didn’t take the proper steps that are required by God. Living Sacrifices to God I beseech [urge] you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you presen

I have heard some people say the Bible says they don’t need anyone to teach them because the Holy Spirit is their teacher. That seems like a contradiction, so let’s see what the scripture means. This cannot be a contradiction. Why? Because there are people who have been anointed (graced; given the ability to teach). History- John is writing to those who are still babes in Christ and there were false teachers among them. Do Not Love the World Do not love the world or the thing

This message is to encourage the readers when it comes to allowing the Spirit of God to lead them, even when you don’t understand; obey the Lord. I am continuing with the book that was written fourteen years ago and how my steps were ordered and ordained by the Lord. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord (Psalm 37:23). At the time, the book “The New Life” was published I had no thoughts of how the Lord was going to orchestrate circumstances for me to move from Green
