Peace, Be Still!

Hello Friends,

I guess I have to keep reminding you that I am still here. I have been saying I will post more frequently but easier said that done. Let us see what 2017 holds. Btw Happy Belated New Years! :)

I am believing 2017 to be a year of completion, of fulfillment, of breakthrough...and honestly we are in the 3rd month and God has done miracles up on miracles already. Be encouraged yours is on the way!

The lord has been reminding me of how He gives peace not like the world does. In other words, for me to have peace the requirement is to abide in Him and receive what He has already done for me. I used to think peace is what I have when everything is going well. But what happens when things have not gone the way you intended them to go for weeks, months, years? Do you then live without peace? I believe it is an opportunity to dig deeper and truly understand the term "peace that transcends understanding" as described in Philippians 4:6-7. 

I don't know about you but in the last year and little bit circumstances around me have been great reminders that I am not in control. Mind you for a recovering perfectionist, excessive planner, and control freak....to say it is outside of my comfort zone is a huge understatement. But, I am learning and thank God for His grace, His lovingkindness, and patience. Specially with a his stubborn daughter (me :) ).

I think it is so important to know that He is still the King that rebuked the winds and the wave. That He is still able to silence all the tribulation around you as He did in Mark 4:39. 

 Let us consider that even if there are things in our lives that are disrupting our peace He promises peace that is untouchable. Peace that transcends understanding. He promises this is John 14:27. 

 Today I want to encourage you that He is on your side. He has never left you nor will He forsake you. Your season might have been longer and harder than you anticipated it to be but you will overcome. You have the Holy Spirit, the one who empowers you to live and live in abundance! 
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...
