  • “The Lord’s My Intestinal Fortitude”

    Bishop Houston's Full Purple Shirt The Lord Is My Intestinal Fortitude

    You know at times, there are thing that pop up in my life that make life seem very tough to walk in and when those days occur it’s very easy to start thinking that I have no more strength left in me to fight. I feel defenseless and abandoned, exposed to my enemies and dominated by my uncertainties. I feel that my weaknesses have conquered me, my courage has taken dramatic hit, the feeling of defeat is near, and I just want to say, “I’m tired – I’m throwing in the towel”.

    But then I remember that no matter what life’s situations are, I have God on my side!!!

    The Bible says we’re truly protected by God. If He’s with us, who can be against us? Who can defeat us? That’s the belief that fills me with strength and courage that helps me to move forward. No matter how weak I may become, He’s my intestinal fortitude and He lifts my head up. He’s the reason why we should all walk courageously through life with our head held high and with a smile on our face. 😀

    Sunday’s Prayer:
    Dear Heavenly Father, please help us to have faith in You and Your divine fortification. Be our armor. Help us lift up our heads high in spite of all our weaknesses and situations we face. You’re our strength and our life. Thank You, Lord. In Jesus’ name I pray Amen and Aaamen.

    Beloved, life is very short. It comes and goes like an unannounced gust of wind. None of us know the hour or day when that gust of wind will be permitted to enter our room and blow out our earthly light. So today, reach out and touch someone and tell them you love them, BECAUSE TELLING THEM LATER JUST MIGHT BE – TOO LATE.

    I LOVE YOU ALL!!! – Have an Amazing Sunday Everyone.

     

  • “Pray Unceasingly”

    Wednesday 5 8 2019 Let Us Pray Pray Unceasingly
    Praise the Lord Everyone!!! 😀 Happy Wednesday. 😀

    You know, one of my joys in life is praying. I’m not the old school prayer warrior like my momma (Elnoria), grandmother (Momma Nancy) or my Aunt (Dorothy), but my prayer life is essentially my focal point every day. In this morning’s verse we see the final weapon mentioned in Apostle Paul’s discussion regarding the armor of God is prayer.
     
    Beloved, prayer’s the best weapon we can use to battle against sin and temptations of Satan. Several days ago, I was asked can a person sin while they honestly pray to God. My answer to them was “ABSOLUTELY NOT.” In Matthew 6:6, Jesus Christ teaches us to pray in private “in the closet”. Paul says we’re to pray at all times. These aren’t public prayers, these prayers are personal, silent, and unknown to others. We can pray while we’re walking, cooking, working, waiting for the bus, or driving. We can incorporate prayer into everything that we do every day without necessarily kneeling down and closing our eyes. So, we must incorporate prayer daily and follow Paul’s teaching and pray unceasingly. Amen? 😀 AAAmen.
