The Conversation

I have been toiling for a long time and countering moves against my adversaries but I stand. I have endured temptations for decades and fought Satan's workers to the end but still I stand. I have been afflicted by betrayal and held in my grasp offenses and unfairness but I stand. I have been attacked by depressive thoughts and held hopelessness and loneliness yet I stand. I have experienced sickness that was meant to hurt me and sustained injuries trying to keep me bound but I stand. And when I stand, I grow from faith to faith and victory to victory; I have seen the power of unconditional love and I have been engulfed in its presence, I stand. I have been forgiven and my life is not my own so daily I tell my flesh the spirit is king over the thrown, I stand. I have experienced Christ's grace especially in weakness when I stumble but he gives me strength and endurance so I can stand. I stand here today not because I am holier or wiser or even stronger than you but rega...

Dear Hosea: I am amazed at your obedience and dedication chasing after God’s word to the extent of marrying a woman of dishonorable character. I understand God is all knowledgeable and set in motion a contrast between your wife and Israel’s spiritual position of rebellion. But Hosea, how were you able to keep your composure when your wife returned to the shameful lifestyle in which exposed your glory among men with distasteful & lustful intent? How were able to sleep, while your wife was being entertained by lofty men while sleeping in their homes infested with demons seeking to take her life? How were you able to deal with the gut-wrenching pain and the thoughts of jealousy seeking to overtake your mind? And what did you tell your children when your wife was straying about and abandoning her responsibilities? What did you tell your neighbors when they saw her in the marketplace wearing another man’s jewelry and spending his money? And most intriguing to me, how were you a...

Ephesians 5:27 KJV 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.  When people think about church, they often visualize a building with a cross on top and a place where people gather to hear a sermon or a choir sing or witness a christening or baptism of a child. Many churches uphold yearly traditions and support ministries designed to promote the life and love of Jesus Christ. Many functions of the church are developed to improve fellowship between members of the congregation and between leaders. Each church follows by laws that sets the standard of their denomination and organizes their praise and worship presentation. Today there are over 200 denominations in America and over 45,000 worldwide Christian faith-based churches. Christians form the biggest religious group in the world, approx. 2.3 billion even more than Muslim, approx. 1.8 billion, Hindu 1.1 billion and...

Imagine holding a promise layered in time, rich in endurance & patience. Then it happened, the bridge fell down and the debris left open wounds, strength was hard to find in this time but imagine how faith can grow in the midst of darkness. Imagine finding shelter under the almighty when your enemy has a knife at your back. And the Lord says forgive them, for what they do, they do unto me & not unto you. It's necessary to forgive because anger, rev,enge and bitterness awaits you. So Imagine being in a room and the only light shining is the light in you. Imagine waring set in your bones & loins and the word of the Lord is, be still, be prepared & be holy. Imagine tears not from weaknesses but the evident lining fabric of humility... Imagine being anointed for a great work but its enabling, hinged on the development of others. Imagine seeing all the possibilities & potential of unification & effectiveness. But still, the promise is conditional & se...

Dear medical family & affiliates: Although you don’t know me, I'm compelled to share a few words from my heart to yours and regardless of where you come from, regardless of your past, and regardless of who you are, carefully listen to these words genially. Although your job at times seems unbearable and despair fills the air around you, remember how significant you are. When the world is ill your called upon and all that you represent come in to play, it doesn't even matter the position you hold, all are significant in the process of care. And when all technology and education have exhausted, who is there to save your day when stress, pain, loneliness, and hopelessness have set in. The human brain can be trained to be a great impressable tool for the advancement of mankind but what about the spirit of him/her. Why do so many lack the value of living even though they're healthy & successful? I tell you the truth with all that is in me, we are spiritual be...

All flesh is under a curse from birth due to sin infesting us and our world! It began with a ignorant decision by Adam and Eve leading to disobedience to God's instruction. Adam was given all things with full authority over the earth, water and heavens. Eve was his supporter and companion but made a poor choice. They were allowed to eat from every other tree except for the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. All creation was at peace and in order until Satan enticed Eve by appealing to her mind, flesh, and her sense of sight, smell, and touch, all leading her to eat the forbidden fruit from the forbidden tree. After noticing no consequences of her action, she convinced Adam to join in. At this point, all creation was cursed due to the fact that any creation who disobeys God is separated from him and placed into darkness... The earth and the universe were also cursed because they were put under man's authority and the man was formed from the earth, so anything associated with th...

When Christ's spirit (Holy Spirit) opens the eyes of a person, he is given full ability to communicate without limits, fear of failure. By his grace, we are able to draw in close, intimately & personally in order to have a great relationship increasing & worthy of a reasonable response.  Prayer is God's spiritual link for all mankind to have access to heavenly powers but only by obedience and believing in the power of his word, can a person's prayer have unlimited potential. When obedience and faith meet, it's the foundation for a miracle. The bible demonstrates endless miracles led by prayers seen & seen. None of the following could have happened without prayer: Noah at the great flood, Abraham's seed brought forth nations, Joseph's triumphs over trials & tribulations, Moses exodus of Israelites from Egypt and parting of the Red Sea, Gideon, a mighty warrior with 300 men defeated hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield. Samson...

Let me tell you why mothers are so loved. They suffered so just to bring a life into this world and they sacrificed themselves for the benefit of their children through hours of labor pains with no end. Their sleepless nights, endless breastfeeding (most) continuous changing of pampers (or wrapped cloth) continuous burping & sleep monitoring, staying on top of doctor appointments & safety practices and let's not forget, the fears of inexperience & mothers questioning themselves... Did I do this right or that right? How much or how little? ... Where is mom or grandma when I need her? Fighting the urge of returning the child like a bad hair product...just kidding! We mostly appreciate a mother's for dealing with the mistakes of their children from accidents to possible jail time, all the motivation and persistence to make sure her children finish school, And last, the disciplines to make sure her children stay focused. Well on behalf of many, we appreciate moms eve...

When I was in darkness, I was blind, deaf & dumb. When I lived to promote self, I often chased pride, hate & sadness. When I followed the world, it led me into darkness. Relationships were hard, even when it seemed easy to get involved. Chasing after materials were an endless passion, clubbing was my release but it never lasted, friendships were short-lived and lacked honor and integrity. I am so thankful Christ never forgot me, he kept sending messages to get my attention. I'm so grateful, I remember the incident, the bullet never had its way, yes, lord, you have my undivided attention. I had so many questions, after that day, who was that voice that told me not to go. Why was I saved to live another day? And now today, where do I go to repay. I learned about the lord's sacrifice and what he did for me. His love cleansed, refreshed & encompassed me, although I was wretched, selfish, and damaged. The church was new for me but my hunger grew exponenti...

Lord, we are so broken & lost, despite whom parent our upbringing. We fall short regardless of our entitlement or status. Our materials, our accomplishments, our presentations are restless struggles, striving after temporary goals. Lord, regardless of all the good we do, we still have no clue. When we come to a place of understanding you, only then we can serve a purpose and present an acceptable sacrifice. Our careers, relationships, accolades, triumphs & causes, never seem complete. You are the sustaining component to obtain fulfillment. What can we offer, other than our obedience, a worthy sacrifice? Lord, how great work on the hills of Calvary. Your grace opened up a passage for us, allowing paradise for eternity a Holy place filled with righteous people worshipping in unison. We're aware sin crouches at the door seeking opportunity every moment of our lives. Keep us in your prayers every day & every night. Reveal to us your power, peace & lo...

During a time of distress and fear, there are some who are brave and obedient to the cause of helping others physically & spiritually. I know your reward will be great for your devotion to the message of the cross. Being a follower of Jesus Christ, I understand & have experienced the burden of caring for the souls of people. I also know growing closer to Christ and farther & farther away from the world has a cost but regardless my devotion is second to none. I am more than thankful to see your effort extended to those in crisis especially creating a place of refuge. I know as long as your heart is led by God's spirit, none of your works will be in vain even if people doubt your intentions and judge your affiliations. The world doesn't understand God's ways nor can they see God's movements. The judgment of the deceiver is greater than the deceived, so all who are in the kingdom to risk their souls to deceive others for personal gain would be foolish. I am ...

I understand there's a lot of faith in doctors and their prescription medications but consider natural alternatives that surround us every day. I believe detoxing the body is essential in building up a person's immune system which leads to healthier living. Follow the chart below for the best results. Cleansing: Cut out smoking & alcohol (if possible or reduce to a minimum) absolutely refrain from sodas & energy drinks with high sugar, caffeine & salt content. Sleep: Try to rest at least 7 hours daily. Drink water - 1/2 body's weight in ounces. (Per day) Tea: Moringa tea, green tea, ginger honey tea, ginger strawberry tea. (lemon or lime and honey or brown sugar for improved taste) Boosting the  immune system helps the body fight colds and flus: Try Soup with sweet potato,  yam, carrots (3x ginger, onion & garlic, turmeric or curry powder) Power veggies: (smoothies) Broccoli, kale, zucchini & asparagus. Fruit: (smoothies) Pomegranates, o...

When your enemy says, you're weak, incapable, unintelligent or worthless. Reply by saying, even if it's true, Jesus is Lord! When he says you're too short, too tall or maybe not popular enough, just reply, you've been digging in my past but Jesus is Lord! When he continues to say, your just one person and you have no one to defend you, be confident & say, Jesus is Lord! When the enemy beats his chest and says out loud, you were a mistake and your life is meaningless, keep your composure & reply, I read a scripture today and it said, I will praise thee;  for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. (Psalms 139:14) and oh yeah, Jesus is Lord. When he is furious and says, I saw you smoking in the bathroom, after your oath to give it up and I also know you cheated on your spouse 10 years ago, be condemned because you’re a liar and coward. When the enemy has your back against the wall, just say, wo...

My beautiful angel, I miss you so very much, everything about you is still fresh in my memory. Your smile, your scent, your candidness, I can still feel the warmth of your face in the palm of my hands. I know I have to say goodbye but why can't I see you one more time. I remember when I bought your first outfit. I watched you from a distance and saw your reflection in the mirror, seeing you all grown up, now, made me proud as a parent. My precious angel, I remember the words you said to me when I was feeling blue. I remember your words, it's going to be alright ... God is with you. I was so astonished by your strength & calming ambiance, how can I put out the light that has been so bright, how can I lay your headstone when I still feel your soul. My angel, my butterfly, my love, where have you gone! I'm looking for you, but I can't find you. I have so much love reserved but anxiety wants to take hold of me, all I want to do is hold you in my arms again. Lord, L...

Romans 14:11 11  It is written: “‘As surely as I live,’  says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me;      every tongue will acknowledge God.’” [ a ] All through history, the strong and wisest dominated the simple and feeble but in God's divine order, any man/woman whom chooses Christ as their Lord & savior, can be redeemed and lifted up over their enemies. Every prophet in the bible faced adversity and trusted God to get through. During the process they moved from knowing God, as a supreme being passed down by their ancestors, to knowing God as Lord of Lords! Noah knew about God and honored him by living just as his ancestors did before him. And when all the world became corrupted and consumed by their fleshly desires, only Noah and his family was worthy enough to start over. In this, Noah heard from God for the first time and received instruction to build an ark. His faith in God increased as he developed their relationship over the n...

Let me start by saying, if Christ was just a man, he would've been the greatest magician of all time, fooling the Pharisees and all the roman empire with gentle & profound words with the help of a group of insignificant people. He would've used technology never seen before in history even in today's world would've been a challenge. His security would've been stronger than knights at the round table or all the world's arm forces combined. He defied the prominent religion, he changed the standard holding the people in bondage. He healed thousands, from paraplegic to those with leprosy. If he is a myth, the Romans, the Greeks, Persians, and especially the Muslims would've abolished him from their history. The world wouldn't have known his grace and mercies even his righteousness which redeemed millions from their sins. His word wouldn't have been the standard for men to live for eternity and would've lost all hope of a heavenly destination ...

Greetings, we haven't met but give me a moment to share my admiration & insight. Back in the days, you were known to be fierce & unyielding, especially at your position. It's obvious, you were second to none & forever be among the elite. That's all good, but that's only half of it. I see your heart is bigger than your statue & continues to stay strong regardless of burdensome scars. Your determination & relentless destinations with every opportunity can't be mistaken but still, looking for answers for life's complexities & disappointments. I don't have all the answers but I know who does. I have so much to say but not here, not now or not today. I will say this though, remember those closest to you, remind them how important life is & tell them, life doesn't hold promises for tomorrow but you can live each day, as if, there's no tomorrow. Spending a lifetime obtaining possessions & seeking desires are admirable but ...

When you couldn't understand your pain, when you wept to sleep,  hoping the pain would go away. I cried with you, every day, I saw every tear fall from your eyes, I never forgot your name. Give me your pain, precious one Give me your pain, not just some Give me your pain, It's all the same Give me your shame it's all been done, all in my name. Your older now, the root has gone deep. Your lips are bound, the dark clouds are hovering. All hope is being clawed out of your hands. But if I can just, get you to look down, the holes in my hands are there for all mankind. Give me your pain, precious one Give me your pain, not just some Give me your pain, It's all the same Give me your shame, it's all been done, all in my name. You found a companion, one you adore but in the middle of the night your tears are filled with fears. I hear your thoughts, is love knocking at your door or betrayal, all over again? Your plate is heavy and you're losing ...
