Praise The Lord Beloved!!! ✝️❤️😊
This week’s question is: Bishop Houston, many people come to me and ask me to do different things and ask me for favors. I am a sympathetic person, and I am always putting myself in their position. But there are times I feel I’m being played, and when I go to them for a favor or ask them to do something for me, it’s like trying to get meat from an angry lion or an excuse why they can’t. Bishop, I want to know how do I say “no” to people without feeling guilty?
This morning’s question is a great one. Thank you for asking.
Answer: Beloved, saying no is an exceedingly tricky conclusion, especially saying no to those you love and faithfully care about. At one time, I had my internal bouts by not denying the request of others. That was until I learned to trust the Holy Spirit within me. I learned to allow Him to have His way. You see, the problem lies within; Its “internal, it’s your compassionate desire verses your spiritual aspirations. Beloved, when you remove you (your compassionate desire) and agree to permit the Holy Spirit within you to be your guide, you can say “no” without explanation, justification, or guilt. You will be able to let your yes be yes, and your no is no without any reservations.
Now, at times you will have to apply your spiritual discernment to discuss why you had to say “no.” You are going to have to let them know you are trusting the Lord to help you make decisions about specific (or all) areas of your life. Help them comprehend that He understands what lies ahead in every decision, and you cannot just lean on your own understanding or do your own thing without getting His approval!!!
And, when you do discern that you need to say “no,” DON’T WAVER. Your “no” may be the key to help others reconsider their idea or course of action. The Spirit could lead them to a better decision or approach.
But do not ever think you owe anyone an explanation for saying “no,” primarily if you have candidly and truthfully made clear to them who directs your life and how you make decisions!!! Amen? Amen.
✝️❤️😊
Beloved, I hope my answer has helped you.
Thank you for your question.
Bishop, W. F. Houston, Jr.

“Is God Angry?”
The answer is a RESOUNDING YES!!!
This should not be a hard question for a Christian to answer. Every Christian should be able to recognize that God is indeed Angry!!!
Today’s Society has turned into a Modern Day Sodom and Gomorrah. There is so much corruption, crime and evil that is taking place every minute of the day.
Stealing, Killing, Cheating, Robbing, Bullying, Peer Pressure, Terrorist Activity, Sexual Immoralities, Disobedience, Lying, Adultery, Fornication, Embezzlement, Ponzi Schemes, Coveting, Jealousy and Idolatry are just some of the heinous activities and actions prevailing in our world today.
Understand that God is in the midst of handling “all” of these devious, malicious, and heinous activities that are taking place every minute of the day in our Society.
Romans 1:18 (AMP)
18 For [God does not overlook sin and] the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who in their wickedness suppress and stifle the truth,
***God is not pleased with the non-stop devious, malicious, and heinous activities that are occurring; they have angered Him!!!!If our Society is not careful and doesn’t change from its wicked ways, actions and activities; God will fully release His wrath again upon our Modern Day Sodom and Gomorrah just as He has done in the past.
Genesis 19:24 (AMP)
24 Then the LORD rained down brimstone (flaming sulfur) and fire on Sodom and on Gomorrah from the LORD out of heaven.In essence God’s Wrath is currently being shown to us through the increased historic disasters, turmoil, demise and devastation that are simultaneously happening throughout the world. His wrath should really serve as a wake-up call for all us. It is indeed time for us to get our houses in order.
God Bless you all,
Have a great week! 😀
