"Hezekiah 's Recovery (Hezekiah 38) Hezekiah King of Judah was sick unto death. The prophet Isaiah told Hezekiah to get his house in order because he would die, and not live. Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord. He reminded the Lord that he had walked perfect before him in truth, and with a perfect heart, and had done good in his sight. Hezekiah wept sorely before the Lord. God heard Hezekiah’s prayer, and saw his tears. So, God added 15 years to his years on earth. God gave the king a sign to confirm his promise, by l...
President Joe Biden is poised to release his plan to use his executive power to institute changes in police reform, something that is always on the “to do” list for a divided nation, but is not high on that list for law enforcement. Law enforcement associations have historically been against liberal leaning policies, getting universal support from conservatives who tout respect for police officers. Somehow that respect for those in blue seems to have disappeared after Donald Trump led his supporters to riot/fight/injure scores of police off...
It's required of men and women today, as well as in times before to hear, learn and obey ALL of God's Commandments. The Commandments are for our benefit. Keeping the Commandments brings us into the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, and his teachings, then we will never fall (2 Peter 1:10). Christians have power, love, and a sound mind (2 Tim.1:7). Disobedience to God separates us from him, damming up the flow of his blessings to us. Jesus came to open the flow of blessings that Adam dammed up by breaking God's Commandments. Jesus wants All...
1 Corinthians 2:9 | NKJV But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him. ”God loves us SO MUCH that we cannot perceive it with our natural sight. Nor can we hear it with our natural ears. And it cannot enter into our hearts by natural means. It is only by way of the SPIRIT that we can Understand the depth, the width, the height and the weight of God’s Love! HE’S GIVEN US SO MUCH! Thank Him for His Healing, His Deliverance, and for Him Set...
All things come of thee and of thine own have we given thee (1st Chronicles 29:14). God has blessed the United States as well as other nations with great material wealth. However, they have forgotten that it was God who gave the power to get the wealth. Let's not forget the commandments of God to keep and seek ' All ' the commandments of the Lord your God, that you may possess the good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you are gone (1Chronicles 28:8). It’s God’s will that we give him praise, and continue to mag...
And God said let us make man in Our image and after Our likeness: (Gen .1:26). And the serpent said to the woman, you shall not surely die: For God knows that in the day you eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil (Gen .3:4-5). Beware of false prophets (serpents), they profess that they know God, and Jesus, but are deceitful (serpents). They profess to be wise but are foolish. They worship their own actions and beliefs, changing the image of God into their own corrupt understanding (we will...
We have been hearing a lot lately about the "Mark of the Beast", as more concerted efforts are being made to bring COVID-19 under control. Even though there has been an uptick in vaccination rates, still there are not enough people that have been vaccinated for the nation to reach the so-called "herd immunity" status. We are also seeing a growing number of police, firefighters and nurses begin to take legal action against their employers after they have been mandated to get vaccinated or subject themselves to weekly testing. They use the same...
Fires are on the west coast, flooding on the east coast, hurricanes are in the south, avalanches are in the north, where can you run, where can you hide? (Matthew 24:4-8 ,21,22) God is speaking; what does he have to do to get mankind to change his disobedient ways and fleshly desires? Mankind must repent of his sins against God and humanity. Consider what hurricane Ida did in Louisiana, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania; flooding, deaths, and destruction. In the west fires and drought, destroying whole towns. In the north, West Ohio, Army...
A while back, this reporter wrote an article about some people seemingly mocking God for refusing to take a vaccine shot that, in all respects, is saving lives. Over the last year, we have seen millions of people in the U.S. take COVID-19 vaccine shots as the only solution to preventing infections from the disease. Yes, we know that the vaccines were created in "record time", but based on the evidence of what we have seen, they came at the "right" time. There were skeptics who questioned how the drugs would be because they can take at least 18...
2 Corinthians 2:14 | NKJV 14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. Beloved we have our Victory in Jesus!!! Amen!!! Our Hopes are in the Lord! We have our Trust in Jesus that EVERYTHING is going to work out for the good! Amen!!! Our Healing is in Christ Jesus. Our Deliverance is in Christ Jesus. We are Set Free in Christ Jesus. You will Know the Truth and the Truth will Set you Free!!! Free to Be...
Republicans around the nation seem to be going all out in an effort to "warn" the public, particularly their supporters over the importance of taking the covid vaccines. It wasn't so long ago when Trump was president, most Republicans followed Trump's lead, as they along with him, downplayed the seriousness of CPVID-19. Even in the face of mounting evidence of a rapidly spreading virus, Republicans along with Trump defied sound medical advice from leading doctors whose specialty was infectious disease control. As more and more people ignored...
Continue, Big house, the light skinned was better than the darker skinned, those with straight hair were better than those with kinky hair. Those who bought into this theory of Willie Lynch, helped the bondage of slavery continue until today. The devil is a liar and deceiver, the teaching of homosexuality in schools is another of Satan’s devices to destroy God's creation. Those who have bought into it are helping carry on his rebellious mission against God's divine order for the earth, bringing souls into bondage (Romans 10:3). Let's discern w...
In these last days men and women have been taught to believe lies through television, radio, talk shows, movies, music, internet, and even through church ministries. The devil and his disciples use technology to get into the minds of people. Many follow satan because he is the prince and power of the air. Because people don't love truth (2Thessalonians 2:9-12) the enemy takes advantage through false opinions or beliefs. That is what a delusion is, which God allows. They are lured away and trapped into unrighteousness, by not seeking truth that...
You has he quickened (brought alive) who were dead in trespasses and sins. (Ephesians 2:1) Wherein times past ye walked according to the course of this world, when we had no strength, and dead in our sins, God raised us up to sit with him in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 2:6) Christian's will be strong and very courageous. God's divine love given to us through his Spirit empowers us to do his will (Philippines 2:13). The disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray after this manner pray: Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed...
" Get Your House In Order " The thief comes not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. But I come that you may have life and that you may have it more abundantly. (St. John 10:10 ) In these last days men and women are singing songs about breaking God's commandments. They dance as they say " having a good time " listening to ungodly music, songs like "Your love is supernatural, " If loving you is wrong I don't want to be right, " The song says I have a wife and two children, but your supernatural love will make me leave them. Another song...
Adam's disobedience caused a plague. Jesus came to stop the plague (Genesis 2:16-17). Time is filled with swift transitions. The dress code has changed, in many cases men dress like women, and women dress like men. Clothes are being worn to show flesh. Dresses are so short everything is seen in the private area; males are dropping their pants to show their underwear. Hair is being dyed purple, green, yellow, red, rainbow colors mocking God who created them, and gave us a natural color that is beautiful. (Luke 17:11-19) speaks of ten lepers who...
We are blessed to have Juneteenth Day recognized as a federal holiday. Remembering when Blacks were in slavery for three years after they had been freed needed to be recognized, and told. To be kept under hard taskmaster for three years after being liberated shows Texas' lack of value of black lives . The abuse, violating of human rights, working without pay, shows Texas' desire to remain a slave state. Between 1774 and 1804 all of the northern states had abolished slavery, but slavery remained in the south and Europe. The host of human...
As it is written Eye Has Not Seen, Nor Ear heard, Neither Has It Entered The Heart Of Man The Things GOD Has Prepared For Them That Love Him (1Cor 2:9). Our body is the temple of God (1Cor.3:16). His Spirit lives in US, If anyone defiled the temple, him shall God destroy (Gen.2:17). Adam lost his connection with God when he disobeyed, causing death. Those who are spiritual, judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. It is written that We who are Christ will judge Angels (1Cor.6:3). When Christians make a judgment on the earth, let...
Who is this that is cometh up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? We are fighting a war. The enemy’s leader is not human, he's a roaming spirit in the earth, he causes us to hate rather than love. He is none other than Satan himself. Satan and his disciples come to lead us away from God and his Word, leading us into a wilderness of sin and sorrow. The farther we get into the wilderness the more ungodly we become, having no regards for human life, confused, turned around, not knowing where to go or what to do. When in the wilderness we...
Two recent events that have been witnessed by the world, shows a nation still coming to grips with knowing and living with the truth of its history. The Tulsa Massacre or the Greenwood Genocide of hundreds of Black residents in their economically thriving neighborhood, will forever be a stain on this nation’s history, no matter how many years this nation survives. In the Black Wall Street Section of Greenwood, an all Black enclave of Black owned businesses, where Black residents were living the American dream. No, they were not living in w...
Hebrews 12:2 | NKJV 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Beloved strive and pursue with all your might to follow Jesus. Purpose to follow the Lord!!! He is our example, He is our inspiration our direction and our source. Lay aside the distractions of the world. Avoid the “traps” and snares set to hinder and derail us from our course. You...
When Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election to Donald Trump back in 2016, Republicans were quick to pounce on Democrats that Trump won and Democrats needed to “get over” losing the election. Republicans couldn’t wait to manipulate a reality show guy, sans “art of the deal” businessman, into getting what they wanted now that they had the White House, but, ah, the plans of mice and men, can sometimes go astray. It went quickly with Donald Trump. Republicans would promptly find out that Trump as president, didn’t listen to anyone except th...
God always gives instructions for us to live by. God wants good and pleasant lives for his children among the nations. (Jeremiah 3:19). We shall call him Father and shall not turn away from him. The Father is the first pastor over his children, he has the first opportunity to give knowledge and understanding to his children (Jeremiah 3:15)( Jeremiah 3:4 ) Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your Father and Mother which is the first commandment with promise; that it may be well with you; and that you may live long...
“I’d like to give a drink of water while you wait to vote, but I can’t”, could be a quote from many of us. But, in Georgia, a law, passed by Republicans, says you can’t. This is when you have no shame in your game. That reference was about what Republicans recently did to Black/brown people in an all out effort to prevent them from voting in large numbers in Georgia. And Georgia will not be alone. In a scene behind closed, locked doors, Gov. Brian Kemp signed a law that went through the Georgia legislature faster than the Enterprise traveling...
John 11:25-26 | NKJV 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” Bless that wonderful name of Jesus!!! Beloved He is the RESURRECTION & THE LIFE!!! Amen! Believe on Him and be Blessed by Him. Have His Resurrection Power displayed in your Life, Home, Wishes, and Desires. HALLELUJAH!!! Jesus can Revive those things that you thought were dead and...
When most of us are having what we call a “bad day”, we intend to mean that nothing is going the way we planned the day to go. If the day is going “really bad”, a few inappropriate words may come out of our mouths, but we tend to suck it up and try to make the best out of a rough day. When someone allegedly goes around and murders 8 people for only reasons known but to God, the last excuse that can be extended to that individual, cannot be, because that individual had “a bad day”. No, make that “a really bad day”. That is what a Georgia Chero...
Wherefore God gave them up to uncleanness through the lust of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves (Romans 1:21). In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. God made man in his image and after his likeness. God created Male and female, and he blessed them and told them to produce after their kind (have babies). Today men are marrying men and women are marrying women, which cannot produce. To produce they adopt or have children through artificial insemination (how sinful and foolish). All of this is...
Death, sorrow, tragedy, grief, suffering, hurt, and pain have been the nightmare experiences of the numerous pedestrians killed and injured along U.S Highway 165 South in the town of Richwood corporate limits, and their loved ones and families have been left behind to cherish their memories. The calls from the community and concerned citizens for needed highway improvement have been ignored for many years by local and state officials, and those Black elected/voted into office (i.e., Police Jurors, State Senator and Representatives, Southside...
Although I do not always agree with all the laws and rules that the government imposes, I understand that in theory the rules are in place to keep us all safe. Difficulty ensues when rules change for individuals who get more lenient punishment when disobeying the rules. A few weeks ago, the governors of Texas and Mississippi made the shocking decision to lift restrictions recommended by the Center for Disease Control. The states’ top leadership announced masks are no longer required when out and about and that businesses can operate like in p...
Stewardship is the management of that which belongs to another. We belong to God by redemption. We are not our own. We were bought with a price. God gave himself for us. We are not our own. We have been bought with the greatest price that could have been paid for us. We belong to God. All we have or ever expect to be are His. Our lives and our times are not our own to control and waste. When we withhold things from the service of God, we are robbing God of that which belongs to Him. We are...
Citizens of Two Kingdoms: In these last days, during perilous times, let's love God, and our neighbor as we love ourselves. We must promote Jesus Christ and his gospel, not our personal opinions. God will use us to manifest his glorious image in the earth. The church must continue to worship, serving and honoring God with prayers, praising him singing, testifying of his goodness, lifting up the name of the Lord, not ourselves. After the spiritual service has ended, they must extend into the natural life, focusing on business development that...
I have been fortunate to travel to many places around the world. I enjoy interacting with the locals in my escapades because they offer opportunities to see a place through its most authentic lens. The most common conversation I have with locals is a discussion of our respective perceptions of our countries. Locals who have not traveled far from their native countries view the United States from a narrow lens. They see American tourists who travel with multiple pieces of luggage and accessories and superior attitudes. Then the assumption is...
Philippians 4:19 | NKJV “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Beloved every good and perfect gift comes from our Father of Lights in heaven by “Christ Jesus”. THANK YOU JESUS!!! If you’re sick, He’s a Healer. If you’re in trouble, He’s a lawyer. If you’re broken He’s a “fixer”. AMEN! Beloved have Trust in the Lord. He will provide you Peace in any storm, comfort when you are in distress, Joy when you are saddened, and love when you are lonel...
Let us know that God is a jealous God. He takes vengeance on his adversaries and brings wrath and judgment to his enemies. The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, he will not acquit the guilty. (Nahum 1:2-3)The Lord is faithful, he will stand with the righteous in their time of trouble, he knows who are his, that trust in him. Because our nation is full of deceit, craftiness, whoredom, liars, spiritual wickedness in high places, conceited leaders, God has turned his back to us. God has his way in the whirlwind (tornadoes) fires, floods,...
With February being recognized as Black History Month, let's reflect back on slavery. Blacks were brought from their homelands to labor under cruel taskmasters who considered them less than a human. The I will treatments of blacks lasted over 200 years under the Jim Crow Act. Much harm and suffering was inflicted during this period of time in America. Men could buy and sell slaves under the law. Families were separated from each other, because we weren't counted as fully human, the love that slaves had for one another did not matter. It was...
2 Corinthians 5:21 | NKJV "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” Oh Glory! HALLELUJAH! For JESUS SAVES!!! He took on my sins, your sins, and our sins! JESUS SAVES!!! He paid the price for our unrighteousness so that we can be in right standing before God. We then become the righteousness of God thru Jesus Christ. AMEN! Forgiven and free from “paying” the wages of sin. HALLELUJAH! Our debt has been PAID IN FULL by the Blood of Je...
Churches must unite. Being on one accord brings God's blessings down (Psalm 133:3). The blessings of souls being saved, families protected, communities united, and blessed for generations to come. Satan hates unity in the home, church, community and marriage. Satan works 24 /7 to steal, kill, and destroy. Jesus has given us pastors, teachers, deacons, full of his Spirit to intercede on our behalf. The church has been set apart to stand in the gap and protect the family against evil, satan and his disciples. The wicked call good evil and evil...
Spiritual Wickedness in High Places: (Ephesians 6: 12) The Governor of Colorado, Jared Polis was on Don Lemon 's news report. Mr. Lemon asked Mr. Polis, (who is a man) how he was doing because of the coronavirus, and how was his husband. The Governor stated that he was alright, but his husband was in the hospital. Under President Barack Obama's administration, a law was passed giving a man the right to marry a man, and a woman can marry a woman. This is an abomination and disdain in God's eyes. In the last days men will be lovers of...
As Christians we must pray, meditate, study God's word, and walk in righteousness so others can see our good works. Sinners must be encouraged to follow Jesus, and repent from ungodliness and every evil way; that their souls will be saved, and their sins forgiven. Let's all submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. We must be holy in all manner of conversation, humble before God, and he will exalt you in due season. Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walketh...
Happy New Year! We get to see the sun in another year, and it makes me so glad to have you all with me for the ride. The year 2020 was a doozy! So much happened (and did not happen), but it is now behind us. We will still face many challenges that living in this world can bring whether there is a global pandemic or not. Our job is to deal with the changes life can bring with faith that we can get through. I am certainly faith-filled as we begin a new year again. If I can impart one thing to you, it is - do not be afraid to plan. Some people I...
In the United States there are over 17 million cases of coronavirus, over 300 thousand deaths, and there are millions more worldwide. Men have developed a vaccine to fight this plague, let's remember God gave man the knowledge to make the vaccine. Let's humble ourselves and understand that God is chastening mankind, demanding that he repent from his wicked and ungodliness and serve him. Following the teaching of Christ keeps us on the straight and narrow path, walking in his ways, in fear and reverence to him. The AIDS epidemic was a sign for m...
Revelation 3:7 | NKJV 7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia writes, ‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”: Beloved rejoice and be exceedingly glad!!! For you have the Keys to The Kingdom!!! Use your Heavenly KEYS to open and shut the doors in your life. Hallelujah! Close NOW Doors of illness, sickness and disease!!! AMEN! Open NOW Doors of Health, Healing, and Wellness. Walk by Fait...
If black citizens, voters, and taxpayers, wonder why Black elected officials such as Black mayors, and older persons, police jurors, school board members, State/ Federal senators and representatives, etc., deliver little, or no true, meaningful, measurable, and needed to projects, developments, improvements, money, resources, services or other tangible needs, walks, and representation to their Black constituents, and a predominately Black districts and communities/ areas they are elected to serve, it is because they developed no strategic,...
Years ago I saw a gorgeous hairstyle on a woman who worked in the same office building my company was housed. Each morning I saw her I would admire her hairstyle. It was cut in a long bob and she would style it in many different ways. After a few months I decided I wanted to take the plunge and cut my hair in a bob like hers. I asked her for her stylist's information. After a consultation with her stylist, I pulled the trigger and cut my hair. It was bad and looked nothing like I expected. I was so disappointed. I wanted to achieve a look like...

O God, thou has cast us off, thou has scattered us, thou has been displeased: O turn thyself to us again. Thou has made the earth to tremble; thou has broken it : heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh . Thou has shown the people hard things: thou has made us to drink the wine of astonishment ( Psalm60-1-3) Men and Women ungodly secrets has come to judgement. Satan's spirit has entered the hearts of many spiritual leaders. The Pope as an example, prefers standing up for, and promoting the flesh , and hating the ways of God, and our Lord...

The End of all things are at hand, be therefore sober and watch in prayer (1Peter 4:7). Repent sinners, Repent! and turn to God, and maintain good works in the Lord. Hold fast your faith in God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. Lay aside all malice, hypocrisy, and envies, and all evil speaking (1Peter 2:1). Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion, walks about seeking whom he may devour (1Peter 5:8). Repent therefore, and be converted that your sins be blotted out, when the time of refreshing shall come from the...
'The Pope’s Decree'-As the world witnessed the statement from Pope Francis’s mouth supporting and legalizing same sex unions. This goes against the law of God. (Leviticus 18:22) Thou shall not lie with man as with woman. Paul begs the Thessalonians not to be shaken in mind, nor troubled, neither by Spirit or word, nor by letter, as from us, as the day of Christ is at hand. (2 Thessalonians 2: 1-17) It is an abomination for man to lie with another man, God will punish those who violate his law. (Gen. 19:24-25) Pope Francis has added more con...
