“You Have the Confidence, Knowledge and Strength”
Good Morning Beloved, Happy Friday to you all.
Beloved, if God is for you, who has the audacity to be against you?
So, stop acknowledging that “you’ll always have problems in this area. You can’t lose that weight. You’ll always be in a monetary crisis.” You must change your point of view. You’re not soft, beaten, or substandard. You’re full of “I CAN DO IT” power. The identical Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives inside you. Plug into that power. Greater is He that’s in you than “ANY” man, woman, bill collector, and problem that comes against you. You’re more than a conqueror.
Beloved as we end another week and prepare for the weekend, tell yourself confidently that now’s the time to start putting things under your feet. Stay focused on the word “tread” in today’s Scripture. One interpretation tells us that ‘tread’ means “to trample.” God has not merely put it under your feet, but He has equipped you with power, confidence, knowledge, and strength to be victorious. He has already supplied you. Beloved, if you’ll look at these impediments as being under your feet, as being already defeated, new confidence will rise. Your faith will trigger God’s power in a new way. ✝️❤️
Let Us Pray
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for giving me the power to tread on all force of energy of the enemy because Your Spirit lives in me. I have confidence that I can look down with faith and see my impediments as being steppingstones to elevate me. I’m more than a conqueror.
In Jesus’ Name, I pray, Amen, and Aaamen. ✝️❤️
Have a Pleasant Friday and a Wonderful Weekend, Everyone. ✝️❤️😊 -
“Double Portion”
This verse was written to God’s people when they were encountering an extremely dark period. They were being held hostage against their will and persecuted by other countries. God sent this morning’s Bible verse to inspire them and give them confidence for their future. When the time came, God stayed true to His Word!!!
Beloved, if you’re going through a problematic or challenging time today, let this word bless you with reassurance. God wants to bless you twice as much for your problem. He’s the God of restoration—that means He’s not going to reimburse you for everything done wrongly, He’s going to exceed it by going above and beyond and make things even more delightful than before.
If you’re facing challenges, have questions about a situation, going through a time of hardship, remember, it’s always darkest just before dawn. Your days are designed to illuminate precipitously because God is faithful.
Beloved as we end another week and get ready for the weekend, keep the faith and remain obedient to His Word, and you too will receive double for your trouble and see His promises come to pass!!! ✝️❤️
Let Us Pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word, which illuminates my path and orders my steps. I choose to put my confidence and trust in You today. Thank You for bringing renovation, reconstruction, and spiritual rejuvenation into my life as I keep my heart and mind stayed on You. In Jesus’ Name, I pray, Amen, and Amen. ✝️❤️
May your Friday be filled with “agape” love, and your weekend be escorted by the reviving Truth of God’s Word. ✝️❤️😊 -

“Unhurried Anger”
Beloved, have you ever started reading your Bible, feeling everything was all right between you and God, only to have the Word unexpectedly cut deep into your soul to reveal some sin(s) you had ignored or tried to hide? Well, that usually happens because God is trying to eradicate sin in His children. The Holy Spirit utilizes the Word to infiltrate the secret camouflaged recesses of the heart to do His convicting and purifying work. How you react to that procedure is an indicator of the validity of your faith.
In James 1:19-20 (AMP), “Anger” refers to an adverse “cynical” reaction to that process. It’s a deep-rooted down to the core resentment complemented by the arrogance of rejection. Sometimes that kind of dislike can be slick – tricky. In 2 Tim. 4. 3 (AMP) Paul described it well: those who “but wanting to have their ears tickled [with something pleasing], they will accumulate for themselves [many] teachers [one after another, chosen] to satisfy their own desires and to support the errors they hold.”
Beloved Paul is talking about the people who drift from church to church, social media post to post. Their search is for someone who will tell them what they want to hear—or a congregation that wants a pastor or a divine leader who’ll make them feel good about themselves instead of preaching and teaching the Word and setting a high standard of holiness.
Sometimes dislike toward the Word stops being slick – tricky and turns into wide-open public hostility. That’s precisely what happened to Steven in Acts 7:57-60. The crowd Stephen confronted covered up their ears, drove him out of the city, and smashed him with rocks until they killed him. Many others throughout history have experienced the lethal blows of those whose bitterness of God’s Truth turned to hatred for His people. Acquiring the Word incorporates being quick to hear what it reveals and slow to get upset “mad” when it differs from your point of view or confronts your sin.
As we end another week and prepare to walk through Weekend’s door, let’s disengage our hostile attitude towards the Truth that exposes our secret sin(s) or differs from our secrets or (hidden agenda’s) opinion. We must welcome The Word’s rebuke and listen to its warnings; the real healing occurs when we stop resenting what the Truth has uncovered. When a Christian brother or sister confronts sin in your life, accept it. Rejecting their counsel will automatically start the disconnection process for support to your revival. ✝️❤️
Let Us Pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the power of Your Word to convict me and propel me to repentance. I welcome Your Word of Truth that embeds correction with humility and thanksgiving. In Jesus’ Mighty Name I Pray, Amen and Aaamen. ✝️❤️
May your Friday be filled with agape love and your weekend be escorted by the revealing Truth of God’s Word. ✝️❤️😊 -

“Promises, Vows and Pledges”
Q: Bishop Houston people make promises, vows, and pledges every day. Is it deceitful to produce something that could possibly be voided?
A great question!!! Thank you for asking.
A: To answer your question, it’ll help to comprehend why promises, vows, and pledges were established in the first place. Commitments, vows, and oaths were introduced and created in Old Testament times to resolve disagreements. Back then, it wasn’t uncommon for men to be dishonorable – loyalty and morality was not a friend of truth. It was the lack of integrity, why vows were applied.
Promises, vows, and pledges aren’t something to be taken casually. From the beginning, making promises vows or pledges has been profoundly a problematic situation. Whenever a vow was made in God’s Name, His Name, reputation, and integrity were put on the line. If what was promised in God’s Name wasn’t met, then the one who made the vow was in sin. To those that knew about the situation, it made God look like a fool and would become a stumbling block to those who didn’t know God. For that purpose, a vow was entered into with intense awareness, so that God’s Name wouldn’t be slandered.
The best practice is to “keep it simple” and do what you say. In Matthew 5:34-37, Jesus said: “But I say, do not make any vows! Do not say, ‘By heaven!’ because heaven is God’s throne. And do not say, ‘By the earth!’ because the earth is his footstool. And do not say, ‘By Jerusalem!’ for Jerusalem is the city of the great King. 36 Do not even say, ‘By my head!’ for you can’t turn one hair white or black. Just say a simple, ‘Yes, I will,’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Anything beyond this is from the evil one.”
Beloved your uncomplicated yes or no should be so overflowing with sincerity and integrity that the one you’re coming into agreement with will see that you’re a person of your word. It would be best if you didn’t have to accentuate your words with other terms, such as a promise, pledge, or vow.
Thank you for your question.

“In Love”
Praise the Lord Beloved!!! 😀 Happy Friday to you. 😀
Beloved, have you ever sung harmony with another person?
If you have, then you know a person hits the first note, and then you hit a note that sounds good with their note. Harmony only occurs because a melody has been established. Any note that that’s discordant or out of harmony with God’s plan and purpose is a note that’s going to clang or disturb the nerves that will cause distress to the body. It’s going to create a noise, not a pleasant sound. It’s going to disturb, obstruct, and counteract what God has planned for us and those whose lives we touch.
Beloved, there’s only one lead singer, “God.” God is the lead singer!!! 😀 He sings the melody, and it’s our role to harmonize with Him. We must match His rhythm and His tempo. We must give up the “lead” to Him, saying: yes, I’ll be your holy vessel, totally submitted to whatever You desire to do in me and through me. This morning what I’ve described here is nothing more than an act being before Him in love. Beloved, our destiny can only be discovered and lived as we walk in harmony with God, “according to” or “in the same dimension as” the powerful understanding that He has chosen us from time eternal.
As we end another week and stand at the door of another weekend, let’s all remember we’re His precious vessel of honor. In Christ, we’re pure and without blemish. We must always be conscious of His presence in our lives. With knowledge of the truths, we’ll sing in tune with His song of love toward us and through us to reach the world. ✝️❤️
Let Us Pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, I have surrendered the lead to You.
I cannot sing; I had no business trying to be the lead singer in my life. I have found my joy in singing harmony. Today my life’s rhythm and tempo have a beautiful Melody. In Jesus’ Mighty Name, I pray Amen and Aaamen. ✝️❤️
Have a Blessed Friday and a Harmonious Weekend Everyone. ✝️❤️😊 -

“Slickness and Deceit”
Mark 14:1 (AMP)
It was now two days before the Passover and [the festival of] Unleavened Bread, and the chief priests and the scribes were searching for a deceitful way to arrest Jesus and kill Him;
Beloved, the religious leaders were persuaded that Jesus had to be eradicated. They felt His message was too revolutionary. His influence was dangerous. They concluded that they needed to “kill Him.” Eliminating Him would require incorporating “deceit.” The Greek word here suggests they would try to bait Him by being slick “sly” – use trickery (scamming).
His enemies used different kinds of tricks to trap Him into saying things they could use against Him. They tried to distract Him and confuse Him so He wouldn’t achieve His God-given objectives.
People in the world still try to find different ways to trick Christians. They resort to deceit and craftiness, trying to throw us off track. They try to make us confused and discouraged. They want us to become engaged with inside issues that will weaken the unity of our faith, our commitment to God and His Kingdom. If possible, they want us to abandon the work of evangelism, discipleship, and events God has blessed us.
Beloved, if you are a follower of Jesus, you’ll face slickness, and deception. People will try to confuse, deceive, and trick you.
They’ll try to bait you with their traps. They’ll try to distract you, lull you to sleep, or silence you completely.
If you’ve encountered trickery, slickness, deceitfulness, it’s time for you ask God for direction and to help you be aware of the deception and slickness in the world. Do not give in, but trust in Him. Fill your mind with His Word and learn to be more receptive to His Spirit. And be ready to act and stand for truth. Amen? ✝️❤️😊
Let Us Pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, give me discernment to recognize slickness and deceit. Help me stay focused on Your truth and Your mission for me.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name I pray, Amen and Aaamen. ✝️❤️😊
Have a Blessed Monday and an Awesome Week Everyone. ✝️❤️😊
