  • “Imprisoned”

    Good Morning Happy Monday.

    Beloved, have you ever felt caught between a rock and a hard place? You know, no matter what choice you make, it seems to be the wrong one. You struggle and struggle with it until you reach the end of your rope. You realize that nothing you can do on your own will change your situation(s). Well, I have on many occasions.

    It’s easy to become discouraged and start to panic, fearing that you’ll never find your way out of the mess. At times I’ve felt like a sheep caught in a barbed wire fence. But I’ve found that when this occurs, I need to be still so the Shepard can cut me loose. Beloved, if you would just be still, the Lord will cut you loose and free you from your seemingly hopeless situation. You see, the more we struggle, the tighter what has us snared “tricks, deception, decoy become. That’s because we’ve spent too much time and energy trying to free ourselves. And the outcome never changes we get the same results – CAPTURED!!!

    Beloved, the Lord wants us to be still and trust Him to deliver us from whatever has us imprisoned. If we’re still, we’ll hear our shepherd approaching, wire cutters in hand, to set us free.

    Have a blessed Monday and a joyful Week.

  • “A Tree Planted By The River – This Too Shall Pass”

    Bishop Houston's Monday Morning Blog Picture A Tree Planted by the River This too shall pass
    Good Morning Beloved Happy Monday to you.

    You know Beloved, there are many people that will try to do things that they’re not skilled or trained in because it looks good. But the evidence that they’re not called shows in range of skill or ability.
    Eventually, they become discouraged when it becomes a struggle to do those things. That’s because it’s not what they’re called to do. Unfortunately, they’ll eventually become dispirited. Then, they’ll move beyond discouragement to being critical and mount up attacks on the people and the position that are called or elevated. That’s because the dispirited person hasn’t discovered what they’ve been called to be or do.
    Beloved, if you’re over a church, ministry, school, job, or anything that’s transformative by nature, don’t allow your system to be damaged or destroyed by a discouraged or wounded spirit. Stand strong like the tree planted by the river and this too shall pass.
    Have a blessed week Everyone.
