  • “A Genuine Supporter and Friend”

    Tuesday 7 15 2019 Let Us Pray John 5 7Shalom Aleichem Believers in the Christian faith.

    You know Beloved, I can’t count the many times in my life I’ve been in the same situation the man in this morning’s Bible verse was in and at times those conditions still occur. There are times in my life when I can’t complete projects no matter how hard I try. Many times, all I need is a little bit of support, some information or assistance, a friendly word or a smile that inspires.

    Beloved, people need supporters – friends. Like that man from the Bible. He needed someone to help him get into the pool, he couldn’t do it alone, and he didn’t have anyone. There are many of you who have family and friends that support you. I’m speaking of the family and friends who are always there to help or support. You know I’m asked to help or support all kinds of things from family issues or plans to other friends and ministry issues and plans, but most of the time I’m on my own. The good thing is that there’s one special supporter – friend that will never fail me or you – our Lord Jesus Christ. He’s always there to give me a helping hand, an encouraging, inspiring supportive word for needed directions and information.

    Beloved, He’s the one that put me into my pool and if you need someone that’s closer than a brother or sister, He’s a genuine supporter and friend that will stick by you through thick and thin. He’ll never turn His back on you, and He doesn’t have any hidden agendas. Sometimes He does it through others, sometimes through little phenomena that’ll come out of nowhere, but you can always be assured He’ll be there and be there right on time too.

    Shalom

    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 a Terrific Tuesday. 😀

  • “Constant Contact with God”

    Bishop Sunday Morning Fortifide Stand Picture
    Our Sunday Morning Focal Verse is: Psalm 1:1-2 (AMP)
    *1 Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked [following their advice and example], Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit [down to rest] in the seat of scoffers (ridiculers). *2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And on His law [His precepts and teachings] he [habitually] meditates day and night.

    Beloved, it’s very important as a Believer we always stay in constant contact with God not just today but daily.
    As Supporters or Advocates of Christ Jesus it’s equally as important to stay tuned to His voice. You may have a plan for today, but God may lead you in a totally different direction if you’re allowing the Holy Spirit to penetrate your mind and emotions. Also be brave enough to flow with what “you” feel in “your” heart (mind and emotions) that God wants “you” to do.
    Beloved today’s going to be a great Sunday. Listen for the voice of God to lead you. Be strong minded to walk in the Spirit and stay in the movement of God’s direction for you today.
    “To God Be the Glory. Have a blessed Sunday Everyone” 😀

  • “The Horizon Will Appear”

    Unka Burnie Speaks- The Horizon Will Appear.png

    *Unka Burnie Speaks*

     
    It was bitter sweet when our nest was finally empty. A new horizon was appearing. One my wife and I knew would come. But you know, when many children enter the State of maturity and stand on its ground, they don’t focus on the playing field they’re about to embark. Many rebel against spiritual and moral parental leadership, many reside with factious mutiny groups that stand on unbalanced ground, and many leave homes truly believing the words “I Got This!!!” Their eyes are focused on the carnal delicacies and the release form of parental infractions. Overlooking or refusing to think “Oh, I’ve never lived on my own before.”
     
    Beloved, leaving or departing is never the actual headliner. The behind the scene topic that often get the lights dimmed is what effected the departure and how the departure was actually received. The same is true of our relationship with the Heavenly Father. Your relationship with Him will be the ticket punched to the next State grounds you stand on eternally. What our relationship with Him will predicate the horizon that will appear in all our lives. What ground of maturity are you standing on right now? What ground – spiritual or carnal? Are you saying: “I Got This?” Beloved before the lights are darkened and you enter the horizon to stand on the ground of your next State, don’t overlook or repudiate the ground you’re standing on currently. Maturity is a life long process. The heavenly Father will continue to grow His Children until He brings them home. Seek the Lord’s wisdom and truth and ask that He reveal “ANYTHING” holding you back from a beautiful relationship with Him. He wants to walk closely with you all of your days.
     
    So, in 2019, if the horizon does appear, the Father wants to gladly say, “Welcome my good and faithful friend!!! The State and ground you now stand on is spiritually balanced.”

  • “Don’t You Let Nobody Turn You Around”

    You know Beloved, there will be people that criticize your decisions or the way you live life. But these are also the same people that really don’t know you, the same people that listens to and believes rumors and gossip. Beloved, keep your head up, stay focused stay spiritually attached to what God says to your spirit and enjoy the blessed path He’s ordered just for you.

    God gave His only begotten Son so that you may live life to the fullest according to His purpose for you.

    Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT)
    (11) For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

    Beloved, Don’t You Let Nobody Turn You Around – what God has blessed you with is for you and only you. No one knows the hardships or walked the many miles in your shoes to receive what God has blessed you with. Let no one’s ill-gotten gossip, or rumors put you asunder what God has delivered to you.

    Have a blessed Thursday Everyone. 😀

    New Blog Picture
    Praise the Lord Beloved!!! 😀

    You know in my life I have had my fair share of grief mainly because of the choices I’ve made. It wasn’t until I made the choice to put total faith in God when “my life” took its transformation. In other words, I completely turn my life over to Him and started believing what the Bible says.
     
    Beloved, it wasn’t until I emphatically said YES!!!
     
    Beloved, when I said YES, I’m all in, YES, I accept the words of God to rebuild the foundation of my life, YES, I want to be fulfilled with the effectuated anointed words of Jesus Christ, is when God approved of my life’s renovation and granted me the permit to experience life’s approvals.
     
    Beloved, you too can experience life’s approvals when you allow God to be your master builder.
     
    That’s right!!! No matter where you’re at, what’s troubling you today, or what has happened to you in the past, true gratification is close at hand. It’s found in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. And along with the gratification that God gives you, peace and joy will flood your life to a breathtaking degree!!! This gratification and peace isn’t temporary either, it’s not just here until something bad happens. Experiencing true fulfillment in God lasts for an eternity.
     
    Beloved, you can live the way you were born to live, the way God anticipated for you to live!!! By saying emphatically “YES” to God, you’ll get God’s approval, so that you can live an improved, happier, and triumphant life for as long as you live.
     
    Let us Pray:
    Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your approval and granting me gratification that’s way beyond anything I have ever known. Reinforce me as I continue to seek ways to serve You and find my joy and fulfillment in You.
     
    In Jesus’ Name I Pray. Amen and Amen.
     
    Have a blessed Monday Everyone!!! 😀

  • “Walking Over The Belief Stripe”

    30656486_10211168766311218_5344826361645105152_n

    Praise the Lord Beloved!! 😀
    Happy Friday to you all.
     
    You know, in the years since I’ve given my life over to God, there’s something I’ve learned to do that helps me accept the things of God from God when I’m going through some tough circumstances. It’s something I’ve implemented several years ago I call, walking over the belief stripe.
     
    A “belief stripe” is what you need when you want God to do the “incredible” in your life. It’s what you need when you want to be strong in your faith especially when you’re indecisive about something-you know, go back and forth between your circumstances and God’s promises, believe one thing one moment, then believe something else.
     
    Walking over the belief stripe helps you have the same faith as Abraham. You see, Abraham had natural facts to deal with just like we do. He knew there was no natural way for God’s promise to him to become true. Yet the Word says Abraham considered not his own body.
     
    In other words, Beloved, Abraham ignored the natural evidence around him and believed only God’s promise.
    Somewhere he walked over the “belief stripe”.
    He made a permanent decision to go with the Word of God. He made a final commitment. He chose to walk past the point of no return. If you and I are ever going to see God do the impossible in our lives, we’re going to have to do the same thing!!! 😀
     
    Beloved, this weekend why don’t you walk over the belief stripe?
     
    Now, there may be someone out the asking: “Bishop Houston how do I walk over the belief stripe?
    “Well I’m Glad You Asked.” 😀
     
    It starts with the Word. Search the promises of God and purposely believe what He said, and is saying, about your need. Meditate on those promises until your trust, confidence and belief intensifies in your heart.
     
    Then boldly walk over the belief stripe. Walk over it in your mind. You must become expressive with it!!! Walk over it as you walk the floor in your prayer room. Say: “I believe God exist, I believe angels exist in this room as I pray, and I believe that the devil exists and is watching is watching me as I walk over my belief stripe. From this moment on, I consider this matter done!!! From this day forward, I give God my admiration because I believe in His splendor in the Name of Jesus!!!”
     
    And from that moment on, only say things as if your miracle has already happened.
     
    Believe me Beloved, when you walk over that belief stripe, the Word of God greets you and then walks every step of the way with you. As you gain strength in your belief in God, turning your back on your complications-issues, and on the doubts become less complicated and easier to face.
    Beloved, God “will” do the impossible in your life. But you must walk over the belief stripe. 😀
     
    Have a blessed weekend Everyone!!! 😀
