(Thought: Old Things passes away).
A New Year for most is a year for a new beginning; to some it is a year for a second chance; and to others it is a year for prosperity, growth and a time for adventure...
***Many times we want to start off right in the New Year but we do not know how to begin. Call upon our Lord and Saviour, because He already has the plans for our life - decently and in order:
Jeremiah 29:11, God said,
I know the thoughts and plans that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you hope in the end.
Psalm 35:27
Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
III John 1:2
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in heath, even as thy soul prospereth.
Lets remember the steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord. God know our downsitting and our uprising, He understands our thought afar off, according Psalm 139.
Until we meet again - soon.

Going Down Memory Lane
(From The Minister's Heart)
Many times, as we look back over our life, we wish that we could change or redo the things that we did before. If we could go back into time, the Outer Limits, and change some things maybe life would not look so deem; but time is not always on our side - but God is.
David, the king, the shepherd boy, a man after God's own heart said, "My times are in thy hands, according to Psalm 31:15.
To many of us it may seem as though we did not have enough time to finish the things we started last year in 2011, but God knows about it. We accomplished as much as He allowed us to. We may plan our way but God always order our steps, according to the bible.
James 4:15 says,
For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
We Know that it is better not make a promise to God for the New Year than to break it, because we can do nothing without Him. It is better to say, "With the Lord's help I can do all things."
As we continue to go down Memory Lane lets remembers that there is no reason to turn back, and the only reason to look back is to see how far God has brought us from.
***WE ARE STRIVING TO BE BETTER THAN WE USE TO BE LAST YEAR, WE ARE NOT AS WORSE AS WE COULD BE THIS YEAR, AND WE ARE SUCCEEDING TO BE ONE OF THE BEST FOR NEXT YEAR.
Lets always remember God will do just what He promised us this year, and that is His New Year resolution to us.

Babes Show Greatful Praise
Luke 1:46-49
And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour.
For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For he that is mighty had done to me great things; and holy is his name.
***Mary, a virgin, did not know that she would be chosen by God to be the mother of babe Jesus. God sent angels to her, letting her know that she was highly favoured, blessed among all women, and that she was the chosen one.
Mary did not look on herself more highly than others, but she thanked, praised and worshipped God because He chose her to carry babe Jesus, the word inside of her. When God chooses us for a spiritual mission He also sends His Holy Spirit to over shadow us, so that we might be filled with His word. We start out as Babes in the word at first, being on milk, later the word inside of us develop through wisdom, knowledge and experiences with God.
We as Babes in the word should shower God with love for His choosing us to carry out such a great mission. Sometimes this mission seem impossible but with Him nothing is. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
From the beginning of creation God chose little old me-us- to perform such great tasks as carrying the birth of the word inside of me-us. Staying in sink with our creature and obeying His commandments allows us to have favour with Him also. This is why we were chosen to perform missions others think are impossible.
Psalm 103:1-2
Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Lets remember to show greatful praise in our mission.

Spiritual Strength To Endure
(Thought)
II Corinthians 13:9
For we are glad when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
*** It is a blessing to be strong enough to endure hardship, pain and trials because we know it is not by our power or might that we can do anything. It is by the power of God that resides within us to endure many problems that arise in our life. Many times when Christians suffer all the day long for righteousness sake others are there to help lighten the load through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 6:10
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.
*** We must realize that we have no strength of our own. The power of the Holy Spirit that dwells within us belongs to the Lord, and it attaches itself to our feeble and weak body to make us strong.
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
*** We are able to accomplish great things with the help of our Lord and Saviour. The bible tells us, "Once the Holy Ghost come upon us, we shall have power to do many things. God's given power to live by -amen.
Lets use the spiritual strength/power God has given us to help others.

What Does Love Have To Do With It?
(Fayette County Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance - 4th Quarter Praise and Worship Service)
John 3:1-16
My sermon title came from a movie I saw about a well know singer, Tina and her manager and husband, Ike Turner. Their marriage did not end well-because fame, status and money was in it, but Jesus was not.
Nicodemus, a Pharisees- a religious leader, wealthy, educated and a well respected man. A teacher of the Old Testament law, came to Jesus by night wanting to know how he could be born again.
Coming to someone by night must mean you are embarrassed, asham of them or did not want to be seen with them for some reason or the other. Nicodemus knew what he wanted and came to get what he needed.
Jesus, being the rabbi, teacher that he was of the New Testament did not mind this, because God told us over 2,000 years ago to come as we are. Those who are laboring and heavily laden, burden down to come to Him, and He will help us.
Nicodemus a ruler of the Jews did not know he was talking to the King of the Jews, the King Of Kings and the Lord Of Lords.
Jesus and Nicodemus did a lot of dialoging back and forth because of Nicodemus question, "How can he be born again, can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, being an older man?
Jesus drilled Nicodemus very good, as if he was in the army drilling his men. Asking him questions and asking why he did not know the answers because he was a teacher, and a man of authority and power.
Jesus knew Nicodemus did not know about heavenly things, mercy and grace spoken in the new testament so he told him about earthy, natural things, that he knew of in the old testament. Taking him down memory lane.
Nicodemus still did not know he was talking to the word of God, A counselor, A Mighty God, Our Father and The Prince of Peace. When Jesus asked him a question - he already knew the answerer, as Shirley Ceasar says, "When God ask a question He already knows the answer."
Being born again is the same thing as being saved - which is found in Romans 10:9-11
If we believe in our heart and confess with our mouth that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved...
When we ask God for something/a question His answer is either no, yes or wait. He don't usually give us a straight answer, if He did we would never talk to Him, thank Him for what we have, pray or read our bibles. If He gives us an answer right away we would have no reason to Praise and Worship Him.
What Does Love Have To Do With It?"
Deuteronomy 6:5 and Matthew 22:37 - Jesus says,
Love God with all our heart (mind), our soul, and with all our might- with all our being.
Love your neighbor as thyself.
Jesus new commandment in John 13:34 says, "Love one another; as he has loved us.
THIS IS WHAT LOVE HAS TO DO WITH IT
John 3:16 says,
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
Paul, whose name use to be called Saul, said he was the chief of sinners. Use to crucify the saints of God and throw them in jail asked, "Who shall separate us from the love of God." Then he thought about this thing, being inspired by God to write, said, "Neither height, now death, or principalities, things to come, things in the past, things in the future, things in the present, nor beings or creatures shall separate us from the love of God.
Alter Call - There is room at the cross. Come as you are, like Nicodemus did.

Testing Our Faith
Genesis 22:12
He said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou has not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
Many times God allows our faith in Him to be tested. We may promise God something and never attempt to make the vowel good. When God asked Abraham to offer up his only begotten son, Isaac, he never said no. Abraham's obedience was better than any sacrifices he would have made. Because of his obedience and faithfulness, God provided him with another burnt offering, a ram in the bushes. Abraham's faith was so strong in God that He counted it as righteousness.
Today our faith is tested in many ways: through trials, situations and problems... Knowing that God said, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous but He will deliver us out of them all - really is a faithful promise for us all
Because Abraham was faithful, he discovered that the Lord would provide, and the bond between them was strengthened. Abraham named the place of burnt offering Jehovah-jireh meaning "The Lord Will Provide.
God never ask us to do anything that He would not do.
Let's remember that God also offered His only begotten son as a lamb for all mankind, Jesus, because He was so faithful to us.

A Time To Love, Live and Have Peace
(Thought: This is the time to...)
A time to love, and a time to show concern well above.
A time to live, and a time to share and give.
A time to have a friend, and a time it must end.
A time to know, and a time to let patience show.
A time to be, and a time to use wisdom to see.
A time of hope, and a time we must cope.
A time to cease, and a time to have peace.
A time of praise, and a time to use it all of our days.
A time to love our neighbors as ourselves. A time to live so God can use us. A time to have peace and let violence cease.

Praise Him In The Middle Of It
(From The Minister's Heart)
In the middle of our trouble and problems lets praise the Lord anyway. Praise Him anyway. It may seem as though our problem is not getting any easier. Knowing who God is, we know that He will make us strong enough to accept the situation. God never leaves us in any situation that we do not have control over when we praise Him in the middle of it.
Psalm 113: 1-3 David said,
Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord.
Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore.
From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised.
Psalm 147:1
Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and the praise is comely.
Let's remember when praises go up blessings do come down showering us with His mercy and grace.
KNOWING THAT GOD HAS HAD HIS HAND ON US ALL YEAR LONG, LET'S PRAISE HIM IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

An Upright Man
(My Sermon on Sunday, December 11, 2011)
Job Chapters 1-42
Job lived in the land of Uz, he was a prosperous man, well to do financially and spiritually.
God allowed Satan to attack Job and all the he had - his substance. God offered Job to Satan because He knew Job was a faithful man and hated and avoided evil.
Satan said to God, "After I take away all Job has he is going to curse you to your face." Satan's attack on Job not only took away all that he had, but caused him to have boils all over his body, from his head to his toes.
Jobs adversaries:
1. Mrs. Job sounded like Satan, "Telling Job to curse God and die because of the perdictiment he was in.
It sounded as though she was ready to get rid of him.
2. Job's three best friends who was suppose to come mourn and offer their comfort to him - conversation turned into a debate, argument - to reason out his suffering. A question and answer session.
In both of Job's debates with his wife and friends he always kept his integrity. Saying he did nothing wrong to cause this affliction upon him; and upholding the good name of the Lord. Job's final question to his friends was, "How long will you vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?" While he continued to scrape the sores over his body.
At this point God, himself, started speaking to Job - asking him numerous question - already having the answers and not justifying anything as He asked the questions. God always does what He want; when He want, and the reason He wants to do it.
God also corrected Job's three friends by telling them, "They had not spoken the right things about Him, but Job had."
God made Job's friends give him some of their cattle and offer a burnt offering. God then had Job to pray for them. Afterwards God blessed Job. He gave him double for his trouble - twice as much as he had.
It is a good thing to walk upright before God; do what He says and have faith in Him. He can make your enemies your foot stool; and have you to pray for those who despitefully misuse you.
When things go wrong and friends and others turn their back on you, continue to trust in God. Do what He tells you to do, "Be still, just be still. He will never leave us, nor forsake us. Don't you know, yes, you already know, He will never leave you. Just be still."
Lets try to be upright Christians until Christ returns - and until we meet again - soon.

Economical Restoration
(Thought)
Is the economical recession that we are living in based on man's intellect, capability or wisdom?
God shall supply all our needs according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus. Keeping God's commandments and asking for what we need in the name of Jesus.
In the beginning during King Pharaoh's time there was a famine. Nothing but the wisdom of God through man could achieve the knowledge to end the Economical disaster. God used a humble, obedient servant named Joseph to work with others through it..
Genesis 41:55-56
And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph: what he saith to you, do.
And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
King Pharaoh told Joseph because God had showed him many things, there was none as discreet and wise as he was, according to Genesis 41:39.
***There are many things we must overcome in order for our land to be healed, receive restoration and be prosperous:
The scripture also tells us, "If we humble ourselves, and pray, and seek God's face, and turn from our wicked ways; then He will hear from heaven, and will forgive our sin, and will heal our land.
King David also said, "He was once young but now he is old, and he has never seen righteous, nor his seed begging bread.
God says, "In keeping His commandments He will restore to us what the locust, worms and canker worms has taken from us.
Lets continue to receive the very best God has for us through Economical Restoration.

Set Aside For His Work
(From The Minister's Heart)
*** Many times we are set aside to do the work of the Lord, because the one who lives inside of us will gives us joy, strength and power to carry out God's will.
Psalm 4:3
But know that the Lord has set apart him that is godly for himself; the Lord will hear when I call upon him.
*** When God has a mission for us to perform He appoints and anoints us to carry out the mission. He makes our pathway straight for us to walk therein. He gives us exact directions to follow with the guidance of His Holy Spirit.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
*** God's plans for us is to prosper and give us hope in every aspect of our life, and a good future.
*** We know that the plans, goals and mission that God has for us is not by our might, nor by our power, but by His holy spirit, Zechariah 4:6
*** In remembering Apostle Paul, who's name was previously Saul, called himself the Chief of sinners. God converted him, then he began preaching the gospel of Christ with power and wisdom from above. This man was set aside, anointed and appointed to do the work of the Lord.
Let's continue to be set aside by God to do His miraculous work.
Until we meet again - soon.
*** Many times we are set aside to do the work of the Lord, because the one who lives inside of us will gives us joy, strength and power to carry out God's will.
Psalm 4:3
But know that the Lord has set apart him that is godly for himself; the Lord will hear when I call upon him.
*** When God has a mission for us to perform He appoints and anoints us to carry out the mission. He makes our pathway straight for us to walk therein. He gives us exact directions to follow with the guidance of His Holy Spirit.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
*** God's plans for us is to prosper and give us hope in every aspect of our life, and a good future.

Sharing A Faithful Man's Fortune
Genesis 12:1-3
Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
And I will bles them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
*** Abraham was a great man of faith. He trusted God very much: for his well being. After obeying God by leaving his country, relatives and father's house, out of Abraham lions God made a great nation. He blessed him coming in and going out, and made his name well known among men.
Knowing that obedience is better than sacrafice Abraham made the choice to obey God. In return, God let him know that he didn't have anything to worry about in life. God said, "He would bless those who blessed him and curse those who did not. Also all families who came out of his lions would be blessed.
Lets continue to follow in Abraham's foot steps by trusting and having faith in God, so that He will give us the desires of our heart.

Longing For Love
(Poetic Thought)
It is so important to find and marry the person of your dreams. Life is so short, here today and gone tomorrow, as it always seems.
We must never settle for anything less. We can look to the hills from whence cometh God's very best.
Ask no questions about when, where and why. Many times when we see life as it really is- we want to cry.
Take time to smell your rose and drink your coffee too, because our future is flying past us, as we say, and this is nothing new.
If you have not accomplished all that you wanted to in life. Don't worry about any of that - start it over again, fresh in Christ.
I say once, and I say it twice. The rest of the statements I make are not going to be very nice:
When looking for a spouse who can take care of you, always remember, to read the license before hand and said I do.
You will have a lasting relationship for many days. Always remember God's promises in what the bible says.
Your spouse and you may not see eye to eye. Sometimes you will laugh and other times you will want to cry.
Love is a thing you don't want to miss. Depend deeply on the Lord, have faith, and it will always exist.
In looking back over your life at what you had missed. You thought, finally, I know that Holy matrimonial love does not come with a risk.
