Since you’ve learned the model prayer that Jesus instructed us to pray, let’s make sure we keep God’s holy Word sacred. I am combining two messages, and hopefully both will be taken into consideration as to what the Word of God says. 1)       Swearing on the Word of God: I refuse to swear on the Bible due to what the Word of God says, but I will affirm whatever it is to be true. Dictionary- Affirm:  to state something as true.   Swear:   to put to an oath,   administer an oat

This is the prayer directive (model), included should personal and specific prayer requests according the situation. Therefore, do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. –Holy and reverend (highest/deepest respect)-(Psalm 111:9), showing intimacy. FYI- His name is the only name to be reverenced and more highly respected than anybody else. The Lord is

Introduction The Spirit revealed to me recently to start praying the model prayer, and from that, I added scriptures that connect, support, and relate to the verses in the model prayer that Jesus taught His disciples. The Spirit also brought back to my remembrance about the prayer directive (instruction on how to pray) that I learned about in the mid nineteen eighties. Let me give some history- Jesus and His disciples were under the old covenant, where the people added a cert

The Spirit of the Lord prompted me to write about the model prayer that Jesus taught His disciples to pray. This is called a model prayer for the disciples and every Christian; Jesus prayer (the Lord’s prayer) is in John, chapter 17. Around 1985, I was asked to lead a prayer group and a couple of years later, a friend who was a member of another church asked me to come to their 5:30 am prayer group. Many times, I didn’t know the reason that the Lord had me in different situat

I received some backlash from Friday’s message about the Buddhist monks. If anyone does not know what Buddhists believe, they can be deceived. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge …. (Hosea 4:6). When Hosea used the word destroyed, it means to suffer loss; lack of knowledge means to be ignorant. In conclusion this is my prayer for the people of God. Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for

Will the Real Christians Stand Up? Exposing the Hearts I am extremely joyful that the Lord opened this wide door of opportunity to share truths that many Christians do not have a clue as to who is who I wrote that this is a new season for me to do a new thing and Wow, it is happening, but not without opposition.   Those challenges came yesterday, yet I am glad that the Lord had a teacher in my life, I did my personal study and the Holy Spirit helps me. So, when someone challe

A group have people are on a mission in parts of our country in  “The Walk for Peace,” a procession of Buddhist monks making their way from Texas to Washington, D.C. It was reported that some Christians follow their route and go to see the procession of men as they walk for peace. It is sad that many people who profess to be saved do not understand what God’s holy Word says about peace, therefore this message is to help you to understand the truth. Jesus said:  Peace I leave

Definition of unbiblical quotes: Whatever the misquote may be, it is not found in, authorized by, or based on the Bible [dictionary]. When anyone says anything that is anti- biblical they are contradicting the Word of God which does contradict itself, so who is wrong? It cannot be the All-Knowing God. We do not have the right to justify what is not in the Word of God; what does not line up with God’s Word is not accepted by Him. Making up our own words is saying that God’s Wo

Adding to and Taking Away From the Bible – A Warning to God’s People. Tampering with the Word of God is dangerous! For years, when my teacher and I heard things said that were supposed to be Biblical, it grieved our spirit. He encouraged me to write and post it correctly through social media; the Lord had told me to post messages since 2011. I started posting a “Mid Week Challenge” for the readers to search out truths for themselves. In all those years I learned that some pe

It is a blessing to know what God has called me to do; it is a greater blessing to fulfill His purpose. When you know that you know that you know, the passion is there and the Holy Spirit empowers that grace call to move forward boldly, fearlessly, and unashamedly; I do have problems sometimes when it comes to public speaking; depending on the audience. Maybe that's the reason the Lord has given me the grace to write. He told Jeremiah: Do not be afraid of their faces, For I A

Honoring a Man Who Made a Difference In life people are prone to say negative things regardless of the difference others have made to have a positive influence. I always try to see the good (positive) in every situation, rather than looking for the bad (negative). If we haven’t walked in another person’s shoes, then it’s best to keep our mouths off them. I am saying this because over the years some negative things have surfaced about Martin Luther King Jr. If the truth were t

The friendship, relationship and sisterly bond between Patricia and me dates back to when we were quite young in Greensboro, NC. Our families lived a few doors from each other. Patricia being the only girl with six male siblings, definitely made her special. Some Sundays I would attend church services with the family. Mr. Monroe and Mrs. Johnsie played a major role as being examples of good morals; yet it go beyond that; they were God fearing. Reflecting back decades ago, the

Donna’s Story Hi, I’m Donna. I was born and raised in Philadelphia and moved to South Jersey after completing High school. I was employed in South Jersey and as a retiree, most of my involvement is in South Jersey. Since many family members and friends still reside in Philly, I go there for visits. I am happy to share my amazing experience as a member at the Lindenwold Senior Center – It has been an exciting season of new adventures. I heard about the center through the borou

The original flower God Watches Over His Word to Perform it A couple of weeks ago, I had an incredible dream that was so realistic that it was posted via social media. It was about the Lord doing a new and greater thing in my life and the ministry. The day after the dream I received a text message confirming the dream. From that I felt the dream was to be shared to encourage others. While pondering and then asking the Spirit for help, a message came to me that wasn’t planned.

After reading the series about Perspectives, I pray that the readers will have a new way of thinking; that is, to think like the Lord God wants them to think. This is a challenge- Please go back to the Word of God and ask the Spirit to help you to have an understanding of God’s Word; but before doing that you must be open to the truth regardless of what someone has told you, even if it was a pastor. Actually, they are included in this challenge. Those who say we are sinners,

The initial transformation (new birth) was done by God alone. You may say this “I responded to the call by faith” You responded because God put the faith in you to respond. The Word of God says- We can do nothing without Christ (John 15:5). The initial transformation means God placed us into permanent holiness/righteousness through the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. I beseech [urge] you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a liv

Let’s look at the new nature, and the true meaning: Metamorphosis (Transformation). I have given this example several times. A caterpillar eventually turns into a butterfly, and one the transformation takes place it is permanent; a caterpillar can never be a caterpillar again. A change took place- the caterpillar had an old nature, but once it became a butterfly, it had a new nature. It was not a caterpillar and a butterfly at the same time. The caterpillar crawled on the gro

I am continuing with the messages about who we are in Christ from God’s perspective. Unless one understands from God’s view, it is impossible to know the Lord the way He desires for His children to know Him. In the natural, our parents taught/trained us; therefore, we knew them and we also what they expected of us. The more time we spent with then, the better we got to know them and became more intimate with each other. This principle is the same both natural and spiritual. H

My messages have not changed- Four days a week, I post Biblical messages; Saturday’s messages are about events and different people who share their story. This is to help bring a positive influence, especially when many people think and speak negatively. All in all, the messages are to encourage those who read, and hopefully they will be motivated to make a difference in someone’s life. Sunday’s message is somewhat different because it is totally Christian. I attended the cer

I asked different people at Lindenwold Senior Center to share what a difference their lives are and how being there has enhanced their lives. I am grateful to each of them who are willing to share the increased blessing for being actively involved with other seniors, along with all the activities that to motivate them to continue being part of such a wonderful environment.
