Challenge of the Week!

Hello peeps :) How is it going? My day is going great praise God! I hope yours is going great too!

Are you one of those people who have felt God's presence and seen God's hand in your life in an undeniable way? Do you still doubt? Do you still feel alone when one tiny thing goes wrong? Do you still struggle with trusting God? Don't worry it's not just you, but let us figure out a way to end this once and for all!

Challenge of the Week: This week let us challenge our selves to remember God's goodness. Let us remember God has done amazing things in our lives. Let us remember that we have not only heard saying He is good but we have experienced His goodness too! Let us also know there are times we don't hear from God as often as we used to. But, we need to know that it is not His way of punishing us but teaching us. Just as a parent puts his/her kid in 'timeout' to think of things they did wrong, may be God is giving us time to think about our mistakes and to think of ways to better our selves. Everything He does or doesn't do in our lives is never to hurt us (See Jeremiah 29:11) but to prepare us for something better. Please read the book of Exodus to see exactly what I mean!


"1 Praise the Lord, my soul;
    all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

2 Praise the Lord, my soul,
    and forget not all his benefits—
 
3 who forgives all your sins
    and heals all your diseases,
 
4 who redeems your life from the pit
    and crowns you with love and compassion,

5 who satisfies your desires with good things
    so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

6 The Lord works righteousness
    and justice for all the oppressed.

7 He made known his ways to Moses,
    his deeds to the people of Israel:
 
8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
    slow to anger, abounding in love.

9 He will not always accuse,
    nor will he harbor his anger forever;
 
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve
    or repay us according to our iniquities.
 
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his love for those who fear him;
 
12 as far as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

13 As a father has compassion on his children,
    so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
 
14 for he knows how we are formed,
    he remembers that we are dust.
 
15 The life of mortals is like grass,
    they flourish like a flower of the field;
 
16 the wind blows over it and it is gone,
    and its place remembers it no more.
 
17 But from everlasting to everlasting
    the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
    and his righteousness with their children’s children
 
18 with those who keep his covenant
    and remember to obey his precepts. " Psalms 103:1-18

Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Spirit of Python: Teaching Angels to Worship

When you are going to hell/trails and you worship is when you can teach the Angels to Worship :) 1) God is Spirit : the Spirit is looking for people who will worship Him in truth and In spirit. *In Truth: the right truth (Jesus : see John 14:6) * In Spirit: even during trails we need to be in the spirit of Joy, Faith, Hope and Love "God is spirit,  and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 2) God can make something out of nothing : before God spoke the world into motion it was nothing. He took what was nothing made it into something. He also hung it on nothing, there is nothing that holds the universe in place! “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?      Tell me, if you understand." Job 38:4 How and when can we teach worship to the Angels? Angels Vs. Us Angels 1) Angels have never been nor will they ever be under the course of sin 2) They live in a perfect place (Heaven) 3) The fir...

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: The Power of Doing More than Expected

Even Jesus went a little farther...He did more than expected! Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39 1) Jacob was working for his unfair father-in-law...and still did more than expected   Genesis 29 Jacob was tricked by his father-in-law Laban. But he never sinned against Laban and he always did more than what was expected from him! 2) Who did Jacob learn it from..doing more than expected? From his mother Rebekah "17  The servant hurried to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.” 18  “Drink, my lord,” she said, and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink. 19  After she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have had enough to drink.” 20  So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the we...

Just Jaded!

I hope you and your loved ones are safe in these crazy times. If any tragedy has come to your home, I pray God's peace and love envelops you right where you are. I pray that you rely on His unending love, mercy, grace, and strength in this time of hardship... I am, like most people, feeling very jaded. I have experienced more highs and lows in such intense frequencies now than any other time I can remember. I believe this is why the Lord has me sharing this... I had planned to write about loving people and what it looks like in different seasons. However, I felt a nudge that I should be sharing about the hope I have despite feeling jaded. To make sure we are on the same page about what I mean when I say jaded, here are two definitions from Merriam Webster's dictionary:  1: fatigued by overwork: EXHAUSTED  2: made dull, apathetic, or cynical by experience or by having or seeing too much of something I can identify with both definitions. In this season, I fin...
