Prayer of the Week!

Good afternoon everyone :) How is your Monday so far? Mine is beautiful Praise God! :) The fall colours are helping me see a glimpse of  how artistic God truly is :) Love is something all humans have in common :) Don't we all want to be loved :) Don't we enjoy loving the people we love? What is Love? How do you define it? Is it the mythical, romantic movie love you are looking for? or is it the True and sacrificial love described in the bible (God's love letter to us )? Prayer of the Week : This week Pray about the love you give to other. Pray that you will Love God back with the kind of love He has for you. Pray that you will learn to Love others just as God loves you. This week Pray that God teaches your heart the true meaning of love. This week Pray to Love Him more than you ever did. "4  Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered,

Mere Acquaintances

“Knowledge of a person acquired by a relationship less intimate than friendship ” Wiki definition of Acquaintance We are going to make comparisons between deep and heartfelt relationships with God Vs. Just acquaintances ·   1)  Old acquaintances don’t have the same value as new friends. Even if you have known of God for the longest time your relationship with Him is not as intimate as a person who just got to know and experience Him personally ( “ 21  Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’   will enter the kingdom of heaven,   but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.   22  Many will say to me on that day,   ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’   23  Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ ” Matthew 7:21-23 ) ·    2)  I read somewhere that acquaintances are people you know well enough to borrow from but not well enough to l

Video of the Week : You are

Forgive me if this is the second or third time am sharing this song...I love it!!  The melody where is no music..You are! I am Yours and God, You are mine! You are the brightest star shining in the night! You are Love and Love is You! "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." 1 John 4:8 Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin : Spirit of Python

When you read the bible you are breathing in and when you pray you are breathing out. To properly breath you need to breath in and out.  1) Spiritual battles are very real "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,  but against the rulers, against the authorities,  against the powers  of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Ephesians 6:12 2) The devil wants to be left alone to do his work "In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an impure spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice,   34  “Go away! What do you want with us,  Jesus of Nazareth?  Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are —the Holy One of God!” Luke 4:33-34 Spirit of Python ( Acts 16:16-18 : The servant lady was  possessed with the spirit of python)   Python is a type of  serpent  that kills not by its venom but by  squeezing the life out of its victims.   Breath:  Biblically  speaking is the Holy spir

Good morning everyone :) How is your Tuesday going? Praise God mine is great :) The ray of sunshine coming in to my room through my window is one reminder of God's creativity :) How artistic He is :) And how Beautiful all the works of His hands are...that includes you too! You are beautiful! I don't know about you but I caught myself doing these things : I would jump in and start talking when the person is not even done talking. I talk more and listen less at times (not always though :) ) Even in my time of prayer...I talk at God, without giving Him a chance to talk back. Is it just me or do you find yourself doing the same things? Challenge of the Week: This week I challenge you to train yourself to be more of a listener than a talker. I challenge you to consciously control  yourselves in conversations with people and God. I challenge you to give not a deaf ear but a  hearing ear to people and God. I challenge you to recognize that prayer isn't just talking at God it&#

Prayer of the Week!

Hello Lovely people :) How is your Monday afternoon going? Praise God mine is going great :) I am undertaking a kitchen challenge ( Trying to make a type of Ethiopian dish that is very popular  for the first time..yeah I need prayers :D ) So you are comfortable in the  life style that you are leading, you are pretty much sailing through life :) Everything is roses and petals :) Then, one day, you are told this life style is going to be you past and no longer your present. You will start a new kinda life..not sure how long you will be living this new way..but yeah it's all set just walk in to it. What would be your initial reaction? Stop and think about it. Prayer of the Week : If this is you, pray this week that you will be sober minded (Spiritually speaking..don't be anxious...refer to Philippians 4:6-7) when you look at the situation. Pray this week you will have a bird's eye view (refer to the post made on Friday, 7 September 2012) of the situation. Pray this week t

Video of the Week : Savior to me

Glory to the God above full of truth and endless love He was and is and always will be! "1  The heavens declare the glory of God;      the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 2  Day after day they pour forth speech;      night after night they reveal knowledge. 3  They have no speech, they use no words;      no sound is heard from them. 4  Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,      their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun. 5       It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,      like a champion rejoicing to run his course. 6  It rises at one end of the heavens      and makes its circuit to the other;      nothing is deprived of its warmth." Psalms 19:1-6 Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin : Permanently Inked

 The blood of Jesus Christ turns us from losers to winners! 1) The devil wants you to think you are unworthy, that you were born to lose, he wants to tattoo that on your mind. Then if you let him, you start acting out what you think in your head.   " For as he thinketh in his heart, so  is  he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart  is  not with thee. " Proverbs 23:7 2) But don't be overcome by the devil's  tattoo,because anyone in Christ is a new Creation  "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" 2 Corinthians 5:17 3) What the devil wants you to think is that you are just a servant..that you are a nobody to God "18  I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned  against heaven and against you.   19  I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants." Luke 15:18-19 4) What God wants

Challenge of the Week!

Good afternoon everyone :) How is your Tuesday going so far? Mine is bright and sunny :) Such a beautiful day :) Today is the day the Lord has made to worship and glorify Him! Let us do so together :) No matter what your day is looking like..take 30 seconds before continuing to the next section...thank Him for today! For who He is  :) Bless His Holy Name! Isn't it so easy to trust God in areas we have seen Him work before? How difficult is it to trust Him in a new way? Even if He has shown us countless times that He is to be trusted and that He stays the same no matter the situation, somehow we manage to squeeze in doubt when a new situation arises. Challenge of the Week : This week I challenge both you and I to trust the Lord in a new way! I challenge us (you and I ) to trust Him on a higher level. I challenge us to allow Him to lead us, even if He is leading us blind. I challenge us to Trust Him even if we are not sure what is coming. I challenge us to look back and remember

Prayer of the Week!

Good afternoon everyone :) How is your Monday going so far? Mine is going great praise God! Have you been at a point where you felt your prayer was not reaching the Lord? Perhaps is it being swallowed by all the things you have refused to let go! Perhaps there are people you haven't forgiven. Perhaps there is a distant memory of a series of unfortunate events that you refused to let go off. Prayer of the Week: This week pray for a clean heart before the Lord! Pray that when you forgive people that you also forget the wrong that they did. Pray that the Lord will work on your heart and rid it of any bitterness. Pray that you will have a beautiful sacrifice of a clean heart before the Lord. "Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." Psalms 51:10 Stay Blessed<3

In oceans deep my Faith will stand! "I will call upon the  Lord , who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies." Psalms 18:3  Stay Blessed<3

Sermon By Jentezen Franklin : A Fresh Vision of Jesus

     It's not until you get a Vision of Jesus that you are truly born again! 1) We should be obedient to God given visions “So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient  to the vision from heaven." Acts 26:19 2) After becoming Children of God (getting saved) We should try and Look Like Jesus Christ (In Character) "Dear friends,  now we are children of God,  and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him,  for we shall see him as he is." 1 John 3:2 3) Jesus Tells us to Come “Come,”  he said. "Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus." Matthew 14:29 4) A person without a Vision (of Jesus)  will perish (eternally) "Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." Proverbs 29:18 5) Sometimes God leads us into unfamiliar grounds to do His work in us " 22  They came

Good afternoon everyone :) Omygoshhh summer is back for a day :D (I am sure you can sense my excitment :D ). Hope you are having a blessed day..and if where you are is as warm as it is in Toronto please keep your self hydrated..drink lots and lots of water :D Have you ever wanted the gym body without actually going to the gym? Have you ever wanted an A+ without studying? Let me ask you how did that go? The truth is to have a fit body that looks like a gym body..you need to go to the gym. And to get an A+ off course you need to study! Challenge of the Week: This week I challenge you to work out your salvation! Don't get me wrong you don't get saved by works it's only by grace. But after being saved, work-it-out! You want to feel the presence of God as others do..well I challenge you to spend time with Him. You want to be filled by the spirit... again I challenge you spend time in the WORD! I challenge you to workout your salvation! "Therefore, my dear friends, as

Prayer of the Week!

Good morning everyone :) How is your Monday so far :) Mine looks really pretty through the nearest window I see fall colours and a bright day :) Have you ever been in a place where you do not know the next steps to take? Have you been in a situation where by you know what to do but not sure how to go about it? The great thing is, if where you want to go or what you want to do is a God given vision/dream He will also tell you how to go about it! Prayer of the Week: First step, this week Pray to make sure your path is in accordance to His will. Pray this week to be very sure that you are on His drawn out plan for your life. Once you are done that, Pray then for the next step; pray that He guides you through it. Pray before each decision be it big or small. 1    " 1 Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,      who walk  according to the law of the  Lord . 2  2 Blessed  are those who keep his statutes      and seek him  with all their heart— 3  3 they do no wrong

Video of the Week : Trust You

I Trust YOU! "5  Trust in the  Lord  with all your heart      and lean not on your own understanding; 6  in all your ways submit to him,      and he will make your paths  straight." Proverbs 3:5-6 Stay Blessed<3

Sermon By Jentezen Franklin :Building Boundaries Pt 2: Don't Sell Out

 Don't sell Out! You fight Spirit with Spirit...Get the anointing of the HOLY SPIRIT! 1) The devil wants you to sell out : wants you to trade your riches from God for material riches "1  Some time later there was an incident involving a vineyard belonging to Naboth  the Jezreelite. The vineyard was in Jezreel,  close to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. 2  Ahab said to Naboth, “Let me have your vineyard to use for a vegetable garden, since it is close to my palace. In exchange I will give you a better vineyard or, if you prefer, I will pay you whatever it is worth.” 3  But Naboth replied, “The  Lord  forbid that I should give you the inheritance  of my ancestors.” 1 kings 21:1-3 2) The Vine is Jesus Himself : the devil wants you to not bear fruits in Jesus “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit;  apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5 3) The devil once he sees your vine yard i

Good afternoon everyone :) Happy Tuesday :) I see summer is slowly but surely leaving us..but fall is a pretty season so do not fear :D Have you ever stopped to think how a problem (it might be small) can manage to take over your entire life, your thought process and even the steps you take? You see the devil is always striving to get the focus of God and on your trials. The truth is,  the devil knows that when your focus is on God non of the tiny problems appear to be big anymore! Challenge of the Week: This week I challenge you to focus on the God's Unending and Unfailing  Grace, Love and Mercy! This week I challenge you to Just focus on Him! Focus on His goodness! Focus on the fact that He has never failed you before and He never will! Focus on His faithfulness! "Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. " Hebrews 12:2

Prayer of the Week!

Good morning everyone :) I have been inconsistent in my posts..forgive me. I have been in the process of packing then moving then unpacking. Now I am all settled, so expect more posts :) Are you a planner? I don't know about you but I was born a planner. I had an idea of when and what I wanted to accomplish during each chapter of my life when I was a kid. Am I where I planned I would be? No, I am not! Something I have learned  these past four years is that God is the best planer and His plans are the best. Prayer of the Week: This week I urge you to pray more about His plans for you than your plans for you. This week I urge you to pray to be in God's perfect will and live according to His Guidance. This week Pray against the spirit of discouragement. If you are thinking your plans have failed...trust in Him He is the best planner. "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord , “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future
