Revelation 15:3   King James Version (KJV) 3  And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. Dear Friends, "God gave me a song that they angels cannot sing. I've been washed in the blood of the crucified one. I've been redeemed...The Lord has been so good to me.  He's opened doors I cannot see.  Sometimes when I am feeling low, no one to care, no place to go.  My Father is rich in houses and lands.  He holdeth the wealth of the world in His hands."   The Lord has given each of us a song. Through Jesus Christ it is a song of hope, love, faith and deliverance.  The chords are rich with the grace and mercy of God. For those who know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, Salvation is the theme.  This is true whether the title of the song is This Little Light, Amazing Grace, Jesus You're the C...

Psalm 119:64-65   King James Version (KJV) 64  The earth, O  Lord , is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes. 65  Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O  Lord , according unto thy word. Dear Friends, Sometimes it happens when you are alone in the car driving.  It can happen in the kitchen, bedroom or bathroom. You can be in the midst of a crowd and feel as though you are having an out of body experience.  It can happen in a dream or even a daydream.  The experience may last seconds, minutes or longer. Wherever, you are, whatever the duration of the encounter the lesson will be unmistakable -- When God teaches Bible Study. I was having this conversation with my daughter.  God through the person of the Holy Spirit has promised: But the  Comforter , which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father  will  send in my name, he shall  teach  you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever...

Why   art   thou   cast   down , O my soul? and  why   art  thou  disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. - Psalms 43:5 KJV Dear Friends, I was having a conversation with someone last week about how difficult it is sometimes for individuals who have never had mental illness to touch their lives to understand it.  More specifically many Christians find it hard to reconcile faith with mental illness, particularly depression. Yet, acceptance must come if healing is to occur.  There are many struggling and wounded souls due to a continued lack of understanding and empathy for those battling mental illness within the Christian community. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, let me encourage you.  There is help available. Do not be afraid or ashamed to seek help. Consider the words of the Psalmist. David was perplexed regarding th...

Psalm 119:10-11   King James Version (KJV) 10  With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. 11  Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Dear Friend, Sometimes we just have to stand still.  Stand still until it is clear which direction the way the Lord want you to move. Standing still is not doing nothing.  It takes faith, it takes gumption to stand still.  Put on the whole armour and stand.  The scripture says, having done "all to stand."  When we are in what seems to be a holding pattern we must keep on serving.  The true test of our faith often comes when we are standing still.  For it is in this posture that we often face the most criticism.  "Look at her, look at him...she used to be..."  Well truth be told there are no use to be's with God.  God is accomplishing His purpose in our lives in spite of what it looks like to others.  " Don'...

Psalm 90:1-2   King James Version (KJV) 90  Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. 2  Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. Dear Friends, Last week I found myself crying out to God and the only words I could say were  Dear God, Dear God, Dear God.  I kept uttering this petition in sequences of three over and over. Dear God.  My heart overwhelmed with both thanksgiving and with care...Dear God. Dear God, I know you understand all that my heart is speaking when I cry out to You. My cries whether audible or inaudible are not misunderstood or overlooked.  The Faithful Holy Spirit, the Interpreter is the Great Translator.  Thank you Dear God. Dear God, You are Precious to me. I praise You. I worship You. I honor you. You are Dear to me. Dear God. Dear God. Dear God. Thank you for hearing each prayer. ...

John 17:16-18   King James Version (KJV) 16  They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17  Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18  As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. Dear Friends, Last month I attended the 10th Annual True Woman's Conference. The conference was held in Indianapolis, Indiana.  Over 7,000 women were in attendance. The bottom line theme for the conference was TRUTH.   We were directed to focus on what it true not perceived. We were encouraged to seek God in our thinking.  The truth of God's Word should be the standard of our life. What does the Lord have to say? What is the Lord saying to me? When the Lord speaks as He does through the Bible His Word is truth.  Jesus the Living Word is the whole truth .  Nothing but the truth. Truth: I  will praise thee; for  I   am   fearfully   and   wonderf...

O  send   out   thy   light  and  thy  truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto  thy  holy hill, and to  thy  tabernacles.     - Psalms 43:3 Dear Friends, I don't see well in the dark.  My vision is not great and I have been afraid to drive when the sun goes down. In recent weeks, there have been circumstances making it necessary for me to cover my fear with my faith.  The first instance was when a family member needed to get to the Emergency Room. It was dark. Love lifted me out of my bed and without fear or hesitation, I drove.  The Lord sent His light and led me. Yesterday morning, Saturday, October 13,  rain was pouring down and it was dark. I had to make another trip. I wasn't afraid but I could not see well. Remember, "the peace that passeth all understanding?" Well, Peace, was holding the steering wheel.   I prayed O Lord please help me. I cannot see.  Now where the...
