Last week my plan was to go to Boscov’s and get some freebies, not knowing all the details. I played the scavenger hunt; it was like a game; I got a lot of steps in. Boscov’s is my favorite store in the north because they have a line of petites that are necessary for short me. My favorite southern store is Belk; they carry an excellent line of petite clothes. When I arrived at Boscov’s I went to where the free pansies were on the lower level, not realizing there was more invo

We must walk the walk as well as talk the talk. Now that it is understood that the change (transformation) has taken place, let’s go to the next step. The initial transformation is the state of being saved and nothing can change that; we are just as saved as we’re ever going to be. In other words, once one is saved he or she remains saved. Yet, there is more to it, a continual transformation is necessary, to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. It is up to us to conduc

Butterflies Protect Themselves to Survive; Saints are Given Power to Protect Themselves in Spiritual Warfare The Two Similarities- the likeness of the butterfly and humans is amazing! When I saw the description of the butterfly, it definitely reminded me of us humans, especially from the Christian perspective. As was written on the last message, AI came up with the answer I was looking for definitely confirmed that for which I was searching. It is amazing how God uses certai

Transformation As I was writing on Sunday, the Holy Spirit revealed this to me about the butterfly in connection with us as new creatures who have been transformed which is called metamorphosis. As I started doing a search as usual, the first thing that popped up on the internet was AI. When AI says something that makes sense, I accept it. AI Summary excerpt- To survive the various dangers they face, butterflies employ several strategies: Camouflage: Many butterflies have w

History- Amos speaks with brutal frankness in denouncing sin, and he was not intimidated by priest or king. Of the conditions in Israel during Amos’s time are evident today. We need Amos’s courage to stand against sin. “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God, that I will send a famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east; they shall run to and from

Finding Faith and Trust in Uncertain Times The Hartford sent me an email dated March 20, 2026, titled: “What to Take if You Evacuate in an Emergency” the list was long! This was Published July 27, 2024- Updated January 28, 2026. There were seven responses to the newsletter but this is the one that stood out the most: Your list are great and very inclusive. Unfortunately, if you pack any and all of the necessary items suggested by you, you would virtually need a truck to carry

This woman of God has been in my life since the year of two thousand and it has been a journey that flourished over the years whether near or far. Little did we both know about my connection with some of her immediate family that goes back many years prior to us meeting each other. I knew her brothers, one of her sisters, some in laws, nephews, nieces, and her cousin who was one of my best friends. Many of them are no longer here, however, I am closely connected to her nephew

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)
