“Don’t Ignore Your Spiritual Security Warning System”
Psalm 121:7, NIV
The Lord will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life.Breaking Bread with Bishop Houston
Praise the Lord Beloved!!! 😀
Beloved, allow me to ask you a question. Have you ever had a feeling inside you that tell you that something just isn’t right or something you shouldn’t do? Well if you have then, as soon as you feel that uneasiness, you need to stop and evaluate what’s going on.Because, that’s your spiritual security warning system sounding-off telling you there’s a problem that either needs to be considered more, or evacuated from.
You know, there are too many times, many people override that feeling, thinking they’ll figure it out later, but then they have to deal with things that God could have saved them from. Beloved, the time to respond is the time when you sense your spiritual security warning system sounding-off. You might be in the middle of a conversation and your spiritual security warning system goes off. The proper thing to do is walk away. DON’T IGNORE IT!!!” Or, if you’re about to purchase something or you’re about to make some plans and you feel that sense of apprehension. You know, that awkward feeling. Beloved, that’s your spiritual warning system cautioning you that something is just not right.
Beloved, that’s not a random warning. That’s God talking to you. So, the proper thing to do is, get out of “YOUR “feelings and emotions and pull back and see what God is saying.
We all must learn to listen to our spiritual security warning system. If we’ll learn to listen, God can keep us from trouble. He can keep us from danger. So, don’t ignore it and make life more difficult!!! Instead, quickly obey. Follow His leading. Don’t override or ignore the warnings so you can partake of the blessing, favor and protection that God has prepared for you.
To God Be the Glory!!!

Beloved, if you’re still looking for your victory this weekend, then stand up and shout, “GLORY!!!” You see, you had an army marching against you all week, but Jesus had already defeated it. He won that battle for you on Resurrection morning. So Beloved, all that’s left for you to do is trust Him and begin to praise.
So, get your praise on this weekend!!! You Got Victory!!! Speak your praise, sing your praise, declare your praise in the face of your enemy. Once your enemy hears your praise, they’ll know they don’t even stand a chance.

“On One Accord”
Breaking Bread with Bishop Houston
CHOF Ministry’s Scripture for Today:
Proverbs 16:9 (NKJV)
A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.Praise the Lord Beloved!!! 😀
Let me start out by asking you a question.Beloved, have you ever tried something, and got the great results you were looking for and then went out and tried to apply the same method for the same thing again and then get a different outcome?
Well, in the Bible, this happened to Moses also. You see, they needed water and God told Moses to go and hit the rock. Moses hit the rock and water poured out without any restrictions. Then, there was another time they needed some water again, and God told Moses, “Speak to the rock.” Do you know what Moses did? He went over and hit the rock. You see, Moses thought, “Hitting the rock worked the last time I’ll hit it again and it will work this time also.” Well, it didn’t. You see, God had another strategy.
Beloved, the point I’m trying to make here is, we have to stay ready in season and out of season so that we can make modifications to stay in tune with God’s blueprint. You can do the same thing the same way you did last time and get different results. It might not be something major, but just like Moses, maybe it’s just something small. Beloved, sometimes a small twist, or a little fine-tuning can make a major difference in the outcome.
So today my friends, make sure you aren’t doing things just because it’s the way you always did it before. Instead, listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit of God inside you. Follow His lead and stay on one accord with the awesome blueprint He has for you!!!
Have a Blessed Day Everyone!!! 😀

Sunday Morning With Bishop Houston
“Follow His Lead”
Galatians 5:16
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.Praise the Lord Beloved!!!
HAPPY SUNDAY TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.Beloved, have you ever just sat and thought about what it means to walk in the spirit? Well, if you haven’t, let me tell you, walking in the spirit is the key to overcoming the flesh. If you follow the motivation of the Spirit of God within you, you won’t be dominated by the pressure your flesh tries to put on you.
Beloved, as you listen to the written Word and the Holy Spirit telling you what to do, you’ll constantly be making little adjustments in your life according to what He says. And those little adjustments will keep darkness from overtaking you.
You see, God knows just what you need. He can look ahead in your life and see the deceptions, cons, set-ups, ploys, and pressures the devil is laying for you.So follow the Holy Spirit’s leading and He’ll maneuver you safely around them to victory.
Have a blessed Sunday!!! 😀

Breaking Bread with Bishop Houston
“Don’t Give It a Second Thought!!!”CHOF Ministry Scripture Reading for Today 1 Peter 4:12-19Focused Scripture 1 Peter 4:15 (MSG)If they’re on you because you broke the law or disturbed the peace, that’s a different matter. But if it’s because you’re a Christian, don’t give it a second thought. Be proud of the distinguished status reflected in that name!Praise the Lord Beloved!!!Beloved how many of you have been talked about, insulted, and or ostracized, because you lived an unwelcome lifestyle of immorality? I’m sure many of you will agree with me when I say, that many of the people that cast those critical remarks, and help construct the platform for your exemption, are professing Christians.Now, how many of you have turned your life over to God and “NO LONGER” live that unwelcome lifestyle of immorality and YOU’RE STILL being talked about, insulted, and or ostracized – and many of the people are the same ones that ridiculed and led the petition to excommunicate you from society.This morning Beloved, I’m going to share some encouragement with those of you who have traveled in the divergence of Christianity, but have been spiritually rehabilitated and now travel the narrow road guided by the Words of Jesus Christ.Beloved, don’t think it strange after you’ve transformed from your immoral practices into an active spirit filled Christian lifestyle when people (many of them disguised as believing Christians) will continue to remove themselves from you, Many will continue to think to believe they are better than you and look down on you and others will dislike or just hate you because of the clique they’re in or for just the way you look talk or dress.It’s OK!!! 😀 This is to be!!! The Bible tells us “But if it’s because you’re a Christian, “DON’T GIVE IT A SECOND THOUGHT.” Be proud of the distinguished status reflected in that name!”In the Book of Matthew 5:11 (NCV) it says:“People will insult you and hurt you. They will lie and say all kinds of evil things about you because you follow me. But when they do, you will be blessed.Beloved, continue to be obedient to the things God has chosen for your transformed life in Christ. Let the sanctimonious people continue to walk in their undisciplined and self-righteous foolishness. Their day of insolence is on God’s horizon of justice, and He has a planned objective with their name on it.Beloved, “A Christian Thought and an Immoral WalkWill Cause Your Christian Faith to Balk.”Have a Blessed Day Everyone!!!
