“Oh, What A Friend!!!”
Praise the Lord Beloved. Happy Friday to you. ✝️❤️😊
As a child and young adult growing up, I was blind and naive to many things in life. I was made fun of by many. People I thought of highly and called my friends. I didn’t realize the bullseye was on me for most of the jokes that cascaded out of most of the people’s mouth-now allow me to say right here I’m not trying to create a valley walled with mountainous pity or sympathy. The targeted experiences were from many personal terrible head-scratching life choices and ignorance.) “I WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I SEE. I’m very humbled but honored to say it’s great to have a vision. 😊
It’s a blessing to have Grace and Mercy and I thank God for choosing me. Today I’m very content with where I am in life. I have a true friend that stands with me closer than fake news, fake friends, and family. I have a true friend who never leaves me nor forsake me. I have a friend that doesn’t see me as an epidemic and has forgiven me of my faults, bad choices, and failures.
Each morning I’m reminded how blessed I am and thankful for the people that scourged me—without them, establishing my revolutionary spiritual renovation would not have occurred.
Beloved, as we end this week, and head into the weekend, I want you to know that He’s waiting on you also. If you’re someone that friends or family or both have turned their backs on you and view you as a pandemic. The words: OH, WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS IS REAL. – LITERALLY.” He was (and still) the only one standing in my presence with extended hands purging words and volumes of spiritual illustrations, tests, and methods after everyone detached themselves from me. And if you’ll look up, you’ll see a true friend does exist.
Beloved this weekend, if you discover people “including family” abandoning you as if you’re lousy wasteland, I want you to know only a true friend stands with you and show you what you’re doing wrong and spend the time with you loyally, with liberating love. Jesus is a true friend, and He’s only a prayer and a Bible away. Amen? Aaamen. ✝️❤️😊
Have a blessed Friday and a great weekend, Everyone. ✝️❤️

“A Genuine Supporter and Friend”
Shalom 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.
ShalomBeloved, 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. 😀

“A Loyal Friend That’s Always There”
Praise the Lord Beloved. Happy Thursday. 😀You know, I’ve been thinking a lot about this verse lately. There have been times in my life when I cannot complete my goals no matter how hard I try. Very often, all I need is a little bit of help, some intelligent advice, a loyal friendly word or a favor. People need loyal 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. Blessed is the one that has loyal human friends who are always there to help, but most of the time I’m on my own. The good thing is that there’s one special loyal friend that will never fail us, our Lord Jesus Christ. He’ll always be there to give us a helping hand. He’s the one that will, “put us into our pool.” Sometimes He does it through others, sometimes through little miracles, and we can always be confident He’ll loyally be there.Amen-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 past through and blow out our earth lights. So today, reach out and let those you love know that you love them.BECAUSE TELLING THEM LATER JUST MIGHT BE, TOO LATE.”I LOVE YOU ALL!!!Have a blessed Thursday Everyone. 😀 -
“God Knows What’s Best”
You know after being granted salvation, I wanted to preach and teach in my own church (the physical building). I started out paying for my clergy credentials. While many laughed at me and made fun of my initial clergy credentials, they qualified me to be a State approved minister. I wanted more!!! I wanted to be known as the “Great Bishop, Dr.” of my own Christian edifice. So the hostile sarcasm of family members and some so called friends about my ministry credentials became my strength and stepping stones to pursue my degrees.So, I decided to take classes to get my B.A. in Christian Ministries which led me to gain my M.Div… So, as I was studying to get my Masters, I was also getting knowledge and experience in podcasting, and web design. One day while talking to a fellow clergy-man who’s also a family member set a vision in front of me about a social media ministry. Now, this wasn’t what I wanted to do. I had very little computer knowledge or online skills plus it was a few months before I was to go look at a building to establish a physical church.But, little did I know God had other plans laid out for me. I ended up not going to look at the building but instead went into studying to gain more knowledge on public speaking, podcasting, producing, blogging, videography, and web design. Over 10 years later, I’m known humbly as Bishop, Houston to some and Unka Burnie to others. I now have an online ministry that delivers Christian – spiritual podcast, teachings, sermons, devotions, inspirations, video slideshow presentations, music and more.Looking back, I could’ve stubbornly stuck with my original plans. Had I followed through, my life at this present time would be very different. I realized the one thing I really wanted to happen, was the best thing that never happened.Beloved, God knows what’s best for us, but we need to have faith and the humility to follow His will as He steers and guides our paths.Have a blessed week Everyone. 😀 -
“Friend or Ghost?”
Proverbs 18:24 (AMP)
24 The man of too many friends [chosen indiscriminately] will be broken in pieces and come to ruin, But there is a [true, loving] friend who [is reliable and] sticks closer than a brother.

“What a Friend We Have In Jesus”
Praise the Lord Beloved!!!
Happy Tuesday.Beloved each of us has the privilege to know God.
At one time we were God’s enemies because of sin, but because of God’s love
we have been forgiven. Just look at that!!!God has the love that will even forgive His enemies.
Beloved, not only does God forgive us, He also wants us to be His friend and know His majestic truth. You see in John 15:15 Jesus says to every Christian, “I have called you friends,” and you know God even explains Himself by saying, “for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you”. This means we’re no longer ignorant to the truth about God and the Kingdom of God.
Let me tell you, Beloved, understanding God’s truth that’s revealed in the Holy Bible is a greater asset than understanding the deepest things at a university.Beloved, Jesus Christ wants us to walk close with Him in the light and to be free of Satan’s darkness.
“To God Be The Glory!!!”
