Can You Dig It?

I'm eager and excited to share what God has on my heart with the Women of the United Missionary Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas.  On Saturday, April 28th they will host a Women's Conference, "Can You Dig It?" (Godliness from the Ground up).  Every day we plant seeds in our lives and the lives of others and there is continually a harvest.  What is your harvest?  Is your harvest Godly?  Is God manifesting is power, love, understanding, mercy and other attributes through you?  This is a wonderful time to show forth the mighty works of God in our lives, are we being effective and producing good fruit?

If you are in the Dallas, Texas area, please join us at the United Missionary Baptist Church, I will share my heart regarding my new book, Why You Hatin'?, which in itself reveals evidence of bad fruit.  On Sunday afternoon at United Missionary Baptist Church, I will be speaking on the Conference Topic.  I know God has wonderful blessings in store for everyone who attends.  Sieze this moment, mark your calendar and plan to be there, if you need more information and would like to join us, please call (951) 347-1284.  Registration is necessary for Saturday Morning, so be sure to get that information.  And if you are not in the area, please pray God's blessings on this weekend that lives will be changed and women recharged and restored to serve God like NEVER before!!!

Free to Love!!!

The love of God flows freely, to everyone, whether they choose to accept His love or not. 

God is there with His arms open wide ready to receive us, Romans 5:8 says: But God

proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. (HCSB)

God loves us, no matter what our economic status, ethnic background, His love is love

flows free.  Where have we gotten our kind of love, that is based on loving certain types

of individuals or loving only those who love us?  We have locked up our love and only

given certain people the key.  This is not the love that we receive from God.  God’s love is

unconditional, yet we set numerous restrictions on our love.  I challenge you today, to

stretch beyond yourself and seek the love of God in every relationship you encounter. 

We may be the only opportunity for someone to see Jesus!  Let’s begin to demonstrate

the FREE LOVE, that Jesus offers.  Imagine how you can change even ONE life, by

offering the pure and unconditional love of Jesus, to someone you might have

other wise felt undeserving.  Jesus showed loved to everyone, even those He Knew would

deny him or betray Him.  As Christians we should strive to be as “Christ-like” as we

possibly can and yes it is difficult, so we rely on help from the Holy Spirit.  Purpose in

your heart today to strive to offer the love of Jesus through out the day, no matter what

situation or circumstance you face, no matter how people treat you, strive to be FREE TO

LOVE!

What stops us from SUCCEEDING???

We all come into this earth with hopes, dreams and inspiration.  We dream of what we want to become when we grow up.  We hope for our dream house, the dream job and most young girls hope for the dream "fairy tale" wedding.  Many of us start well, but do we finish well?  As time goes on, many of us give up on our dreams, believing that they will never come to pass.  And basically thats what stops us from succeeding; we stop believing!  Believing is key to our success!!!!  Believing goes hand and hand with faith and hope, Hebrews 11:1 says: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  Just because we can't see it with our physical eyes, doesn't mean that its not on the way.  Just because we have to wait on it, doesn't mean that its not coming!!!!  I love Ephesians 3:20 in the Amplified Version which says:

Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of the action of His) power that is at work within us is able to  (carry out His purpose and) do superabundantly, far over and above all that we (dare) ask or think (infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts hopes or dreams).

Our God is able to do far over and above what we dare ask, think, pray, hope or dream, then why would ever stop believing that He is able.  I challenge you today to take your hopes, dreams and cares to Jesus on today, lay them at His feet and BELIEVE, that His word is true, in Jeremiah 29:11, God says:

For I know the plans I have for you --this is the LORD's declaration-- plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

God's plans are for our welfare, not for disaster, He wants to give us a future and a hope, in the Contemporary English Version it says:

I will bless you with a future filled with hope--a future of success, not of suffering.

What would happen if you chose to BELIEVE that God's word is true and that He wants the best for you?  What would happen if you chose to BELIEVE that God had all power to make your dreams come true?  What would happen if you chose to BELIEVE?...
