“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.” – 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 Always be on guard, don’t just wait for hell to break loose, to all of a sudden get loose in the Spirit and call upon Jesus. The Lord should continually be on our tongue, our actions, our thoughts. What I mean is that our lifestyle should be representation of our faith, trust and honor to God. We should always find quiet time to spend with God, ten-fifteen minutes of quality a day can go a…
Wherever you are, no matter what the weather may be like, it’s a beautiful day!!! Claim it! So here it goes! I FOUND OUT WEDNESDAY THAT WE ARE HAVING A LIL MAMA! AHHHHHH!!!! Instantly I became nervous because I have 2 sons. “What am I going to do with a girl,” I thought. Yes I actually said that! Almost every woman’s dream is to have a “lil mama”, but for whatever reason I begged to differ. I thought about the cards I was dealt in this life before coming to Christ. Although my life was not very hard-knock, I had…
Hebrews 13:17 Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you. A few weeks ago, I called up a friend and asked if she wanted to go for a walk in the park to break the monotony of being in the house. Going to the park that day was a task in itself. What time should we meet? How long do we stay? What are we going to talk about?…
When do you know when enough is enough? My husband and I have been married for 3 years. From the beginning, he knew how involved my family was in the church. He would come along every Sunday without a complaint, without hesitation, and he knew how important it was to me and also to my family that I marry someone who was involved in the church. He never did get “involved” but he came every Sunday and listened to the sermon so I couldn’t complain; at least he did that much. But over the year he’s stop coming to church…
God girds us with strength every single day of our lives and it is up to us to allow ourselves to truly rely on Him for that strength. But what happens when life gets overwhelming and we don’t know what to do or where to turn? What happens when we are crying out to God and we feel like still, nothing is changing for the better? When we are asking for God to show us what our next move needs to be and we feel like He is not answering? This is when all we need to do is be…
Sometimes God might call you to do things that seem simple and sometimes He may call you to do things that seem impossible. Trusting Him to get you through makes all the difference.
Hello, Good afternoon. I’m 24-years old single mother, recently married. My husband & I have been married for a month and we’re already hitting rock bottom with finances playing a major part. He says I’m not doing enough financially but I’m trying and I only get paid once a month. He does help me with my daughter’s daycare from time to time but I don’t ask him for help with her, but he constantly insist so I just give in to his offer. Now that we’ve hit a financial snug, he’s blaming me and making me feel less of person…
Don’t Neglect Your Salvation. We neglect our salvation in the most sly ways, ways that we do not even realize. We neglect our salvation by walking around eating the bread of idleness (Proverbs 31) speaking ill about others, by not believing that God will provide over and above all of our needs, by not turning to Him in good times and in bad. God wants us to be His best friends and to hold Him so close to our hearts. He wants to give us the inheritance He has promised, but when we are constantly going around negating what He…
Sometimes giving up seems like the easiest thing to do.
But before you do, think about this…
Dear Praying Women, I’m in desperate need of prayers. The more, the better.
(Proverbs 16:7)- When a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. What is your attitude when someone wrongs you? I know my first thought is sometimes revenge but this is not what God instructs us to do. God calls us to show love for our enemies and those that hurt us. Jesus Christ showed love for enemies while hanging on the cross. Let us Christians show the same love and compassion for the world by treating our enemies gently and with truth and love. Years ago, I started a new job.…
Doug and I met at church 4 years ago. We were teaching Vacation Bible School together at our church in Hawaii. I was preparing to leave the state after a very painful divorce which was a result of years of abuse. When I told Doug I was leaving, he looked very sad and I thought that was a little strange. I pushed it aside and did not think much of it and I left Hawaii. About a year later, I received a letter from Doug telling me that I am a good catch and that he was thinking of me.…
Being the parent of a terminally ill child is no easy task. Here are some words of encouragement from the bible for you to meditate on…
God forgives us daily. You can forgive too. Forgiveness simply means that your heart should be free from hate, bitterness, and anger.
Back on 11/9/12, I left the company I was working at because they were behind payroll.The longer I stayed, the more behind they were going to be. During the months of November, December and January, I had no salary coming in. I had many interviews but none that were solid leads. Because I didn’t have a salary and much of my savings were gone, I paid for everything on credit cards. As a result, I racked up more credit card debt than the average American. Prior to this, I had zero. This was one of the first times where I…
(Ecclesiastes 4:10)- If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. A true friend is the one who is loving, who helps you find strength in God, who is loyal, concerned, helping, who is not after your wealth, Who will not corrupt your good morals, who will not seek to destroy you. Proverbs 12:26 We need to pray for having Godly friends because they bring spiritual accountability to our lives. They are a good example for non believers. A true friend will be there…
Lord, I pray for the courage and strength to let go of relationships that are holding me back. I will not be afraid to let go of OLD toxic relationships. Because I know that holding on to toxic relationships could be what’s standing in the way of my next blessing! When others do me wrong, give me the courage to turn the other cheek. Give me the courage to give them a piece of my heart when I really want to give them a piece of my mind. Let my heart not be hardened by heartbreak. Teach me how to love again and understand…
Studies show that many people fall off the “new year, new diet” bandwagon within just a few weeks after January 1.

Gospel singer, Christine Vest has apparently had enough of folks taking shots at her for having a baby out of wedlock with Houston Rockets star Dwight Howard. The gospel singer recently aired her haters out via a note on her Instagram page. The following is Vest’s letter in its entirety: I’m sorry, but I just have to address all the …people… that consider “having a child out of wedlock” a “sin.” Having fornication is the sin, people. FORNICATION. (Is it a sin to adopt a child while still single? No!) Therefore, anybody else who has FORNICATED needs to shut ur…
Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit – Proverbs 18:21 There you have it – the bible speaks clearly about the effect of words spoken out of our mouth into the atmosphere. Or you may also know the saying “you are what you eat” which in essence kind of means the same thing. If you eat junk food all day every day then your body will most likely be very unhealthy. So I also believe, which is also stated in the bible, if you speak negative words about…
