God Has Set Us Up To Be Blessed

Psalm 123:1,2,4,5

O LORD, thou has searched me, and know me.
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.
Thou has beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

*** My heavenly father, you made and created us and know all about us.  You know when we are up and doing well, and when we are not doing so well. You know our inner spirit - when we are sad and when we are happy - because our spirit is connected to yours. Because you know what we think before we think it - please give us inner peace, joy and happiness through your sweet Holy spirit.

***There is not a word that we have thought or began to say that you do not know about.  Please season our words with grace so that we may win some lost soul to Christ.
You have set us up to be blessed - because your grace and mercy have shut us in and attacked us with the blessings that you have ordained  for us in your word.


Psalm 139:13 - 15

For thou has possessed my reins; thou has covered me in my mother's womb.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

***Lord you have control over our life because you blessed us before we were conceived in our mother's womb - from the beginning.
Thank you Lord for making us in your image.  You could have made us another way but you loved us so much that you wanted us to look like you - so you could have that perfect relationship with us. We have that soul /spirit connection with you. You know us very well - continue to dwell in us.


Psalm 139:17 - 18 (added to lesson)

How precious also are thy thouthts unto me, O God; how great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

***Thank you Lord for thinking about us, your children, all the time.  All day and all night because you love us and want the very best for us.  Your mind is constantly on us; if you watch over the sparrow how much more will you watch over us.


Psalm 139: 24

And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

***Look at our heart Lord and see if  there is anything that should not be - please move it and restore it with your fruits of the spirt: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance.



Continue to have that soul/spirit connection with God -until we meet again - soon.

Caring For Our Children

(Thought)


Questions Posed:  Should our children be left in the care of anyone during holiday seasons?

Should we as parents have the responsibility of  knowing the caretaker's background?

Should our children be given the same quality of attention, love and care with caretakers as they are with us?

The question is, "Parents do you know where your children are?"

Now days sometimes, children are asked, "Do you know where your parents are?"

The question changes sometimes.  Parents should always know where their children are and who they are with...


Psalm 113:9

He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.

***The bible tells us, Our children are a blessing to us.  God gives us children to make us happy, to care for and nurture them in a Godly manner.


***The bible also tells us not to provoke our children to anger: but to bring them up in a way pleasing to God.

***We  know that children are our future, the next generation and our caregivers in our latter years.

***By the grace of God the next generation - our children - is something we will live to see.

I will see you - until we meet again - soon.

Thanksgiving Day - November 25, 2010

(From The Minister's Heart)



** Christians know that every day is a day of Thanksgiving.  God has been so good to us, and every day He keeps on blessing us.


Psalm 34: 1 - 3

I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.


** Bless the Lord by thanking Him for all that He has done for us.  He watched over us from the time we were in our mother's womb until now.  Let us magnify the Lord by praising His holy name. Let us lift His name up together so the world will know that He is Lord of  lords and King of kings.


Psalm 34: 8

O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

** The Lord is so good to us - this is because His blessings are renewed every morning upon us.
When we think about his goodness and all He has done for us, our soul should shout, Thank you Lord for blessing us. Taste/try Him He will not let you down.

Thanksgiving is a national holiday set aside for families to thank the Lord for all the blessings and benefits He has bestowed upon us: Family, friends, love ones, food, clothes and shelter ...

_________________________________


VETERANS DAY - November 11, 2010

Another nationall holiday.  We should be thankful for the men and women who laid down their lives for our country. So that we could have a better life. For our freedom, liberty and  the persuit of happiness.
This reminds me of what Jesus, our savior, done, but he did much more.



Let us bless the Lord at all times - until we meet again - soon.

Touched By An Angel

Psalm 91:4 - 6

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

*God, our Father,  has committed himself to protect and shield us in times of trouble.  We can depend on our maker and creator to protect us from things that are, and things that are to come -seen and unforeseen danger.
God protects us as a mother hen protects her baby chicks - with his life.  He wraps his arm of protection around us as a hen wrap her feathers around her babies - for love, security and protection.
God watches over us when we are asleep and dead to the world. He is the only one that we can give our life to and expect him to guard it with his life. He showed us this by dying on the cross - so that we may live.


Psalm 91: 10 - 11

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

**With the faith we have in God no evil can overtake us, or any disaster or disease come near his hidden place of protection he has for us.
God has given his angels - his angels- charge to keep us in all our ways - to keep us in perfect peace physically and mentally.

Let us trust him with all our being - mind, soul and body and he will do just what he said.

Until we meet again - soon.

Dialogue - Speak To Us Lord

Statement made by an employee, "It is hard at work:

Favortism is shown, promotions are made and I have been left out - with more work to do.

Esphesians 6: 5-10 - Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto christ;

Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing  the will of God from the heart;

With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:

Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

And ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.


*Employees obey your supervisors/managers.  Do the best you can on the job. Work as if you are working for the Lord. Remember, the Lord will pay you for the things you have done.

Remember, the Lord is the one that enables you to get wealth, and he is the one that gives promotions.

*Supervisors/Managers always treat your employees the way you would want to be treated, with respect.


I Peter 3: 12 - 13 - For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: But the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?


**When we have done all we can to stand, continue to stand on the word of God.  There is nothing that happens on a job that God has no control over.

God asked Abraham, "Is anything too hard for God?

When you are having concerns in your life, ask yourself that question.

Thank you Lord so much for speaking to us.

Until we meet again - soon.

We Need Thee, O Lord

(From The Minister's Heart)





Psalm:  We need Thee, O Lord we need Thee. We need Thee ever hour of the day.
             Oh bless us now our savior.  We come to Thee.


Sometimes our burdens get so heavy and weight us down.  Sometimes circumstances arises in our life
that we have no control over.  Sometimes the cares of this world is overbearing. Sometimes it seems as
though life is unfair. 

What can we do but take it to the Lord in prayer. Oh what a change this will make in our life.

1.The bible tells us to cast our cares on the Lord, because He cared for us before we cared for him.

2. It also says, If we keep our mind on him, He will keep us in perfect peace.

3. The bible tells us to come to Jesus just as we are: burden, heavy laden and restless...


When the cares of this world get you down and sometime they will. Tell the Lord, I need Thee, O Lord
I need Thee, perfect savior. I need you right now.



The Lord is waiting to hear from you - until we meet again - soon

A Thousand Years With The Lord

Psalm 90:1-3

Lord, Thou has been our dwelling place in all generations.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

Thou turnest man to destruction: and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

* Lord, before we were born into this world you made provisions for us to be blessed, not only us, but our ancestors, and our descendants.A blessing from generation to generation of  food, clothing and shelter.
You knew us before we were formed within our mother's womb. You have been here from the beginning.  This is why you can speak and man will live again, then you can speak and man will return to the dust from whence he came - demise.


Psalm 1:4, 10, 12

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

*God, because you have been here from the beginning of creation, we know that you have seen generations come and generations go.  Some of us wil live to get seventy years old, and  some of us will even live to be eighty - our days are numbered.

Please teach us to use our days wisely, to glorify you, and to apply Godly wisdom in all situations.

When it is time for you to call - and it is time for us to answer.  We need you to meet us there.


Always be in the Master's service - Until we meet again - soon.

Blessed Children

Question asked by a young lady, " Why was I told what to do and no one else was told what to do?

Proverb: 20:5 - Counsel in the heart of a man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.

Young adults, teens and pre-teens, the answers to questions you ask are in the wisdom and knowledge of your parents.  God has put it there to help, teach and support you in life.

Proverb: 20:7 - The just man walketh in his integrity: his chrildren are blessed after him.

You are blessed because your parents are saved and doing all they can to serve the Lord.  Wise parents teaches their beloved children the same things.  amen.

Proverb: 22:6 - Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Parents are commissioned by God to teach his/her children about the Lord before children reach his/her adulthood.  This is so they will know how to handle situations in a Godly way.

Deuteronomy: 6:5-7 - And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
And these words, which I command thee this day; shall be in thine heart:
And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and  when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Another commission for parents, is to love God without any conditions and to teach their children this love. 
God's word should be taught to children on a regular basis.  This is the same way God teaches parents on a regular and day by day basis.

God has Agopa love for us - unconditional love for us.  This is the reason he sent his only son, Jesus to die on the cross for us.


Thank you Lord for speaking to us - Until we meet again - soon.

My Beloved Sister

(From The Minister's Heart)


In Memory of my sister who demised this year in March, 2010.  My sister blessed her family, friends and the
community with what she had.She was a well-known person and loved by many. She touched many lives.

There are others who was a blessing to me during and after the demise of my beloved sister:

My family, friends and church members.

CCWriters and the administrative staff who's website is on this post, also Shannon milholland.

Harry Thomas, a professional home Repairman also, (901) 212-4986.


Psalm 23: 1- The Lord is my shepherd: I shall not want.

He is my leader and my guide. He watches over me, protects me and provide for me. All we have to do is have faith, and ask for whatever we need in the name of Jesus.

Psalm 103:1- Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
                  2-Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:


Jesus, I will never forget what you done for me.  Jesus, I will never forget how you set me free. Never, no never.


Until me meet again - soon.

From The Minister's Heart

God Is Terrible

Psalm 66:1-  Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
               2-  Sing forth the honor of his name: make his praise glorious.

All the earth needs to sing to the Lord. Let us sing with our heart, not only our mouth.  Let the world know how worthy he is to be praised.

Psalm 66:3 - Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall
                    thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

God work is so awesome that his enemies have to surrender.  This why all of us should worship him and
praise his holy name. He is so worthy that we must and should praise him.


Psalm 66:5 - Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

Many of us have seen the glorious things God has done. Some of us have seen miracles he has performed,
but none of us have seen the dry road through the sea he made for the Hebrew children to cross over.
Almighty God will continue to rule by his power forever.


Previous Sunday School lesson

I Call Her Grace

In 1997, I joined Thomas Chapel Church in Rossville, TN. Within six months of joining I started helping the Youth department. I was nominated to be the Youth department's President/Advisor.  I coordinated and chaired all the programs with the help of the department's team. I helped chair the women conferences.
I also went out on speaking engagements to surrounding area churches.

I am currently at Thomas Chapel Church preaching and occasionally teaching the word of God.


During the year 2007, I started helping at my family's home church and later became the Assistant Pastor.
Leadership has changed and I  am no longer the Assistant Pastor but my commitment to this church and my home church continues.


I Corinthians 15:16 - But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Galatians 6:18 - Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. A'men.


*** Parents -teens and pre-teen, I have written you three messages about my ministry- letting you know I have ran a race not because of who I am but because of the God that is within.

Young adults, you can be whatever you want to be in life by the graceof God.  Finish school, go to college, if not college, go to a trade school and be one of the best in life that you can be.  You know Jesus is the best at what he set his hands to do.  He gave it his all by dying on the cross for you and I, but he did not give away grace- he left it here for us.


Let us ask God for his mercy and his grace.    Until we meet again - soon.

Your Thoughts - and My Ways

During the spring of 2000, my outreach ministry started with mentoring pre-teen and teenage girls in my home.  This lasted about 2-3 years with assistance from my bible class pastor.

Subjects were: no drugs; no crime; no fornication.


Later that year I along with another Evangelist went on radio station WAVN, 1240 in Mississippi.
We spoke on different subjects.  Listeners could call into the radio station and dialogue with us.


Proverbs 16:3 - Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.

Proverbs 3:6 - In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Don't Make Your Move Too Soon

I was a member of Mt. Vernon Church in Rossville, TN all of my childhood.  It was after my adulthood that my missionary work began. I was an assistant Sunday School Teacher. An assistant and Public  Relations Secretary. I assisted in teaching New Student Orientation and Vacation Bible Classes. I was a member of the Pastor's Aide Group. I mentored the teen and pre-teen age girls there. I also made nursing home visits with another Evangelist.

Proverb 18:16 - A man's gift maketh room for him and bringeth him before great men.
