Obeying God: Pain & Prosperity

Repost (Charity Israel)

Obeying God has both pain and prosperity attached to it.

My thought: This may be true because it seems like you go through pain before you get the blessing. If we’re obeying God, blessing should be on sight. Otherwise, what’s the benefit of obeying God if pain is involved? Doesn’t make sense, but…I think any pain involved is superseded by the blessing that comes with obedience. In that case, bring the pain.πŸ’ͺ🏾

Following The Crowd

It’s easier to follow the crowd than stand on your own. My parents used to ask me: If everyone jumped off a building, would you do it too? The gist of that question was to make me think if following the crowd was worth it. It takes more heart to stand alone than go with the crowd, especially when you know the crowd is wrong.

Trusting God’s Leadership

God is not asking you (believer) to not make mistakes. He's calling you (the believer) to press forward, trusting Him to lead.

Throwback Friday: Repent

Repost. Good message nonethelessπŸ‘‡πŸΎ

Keep in mind... The Anti Christ comes before the Rapture. I have studied the Bible a lot in my life, in many different forms and it really does always come down to this. I have been hearing about the second coming of Christ and the events unfolding since I was a kid. The "Mark of the Beast", microchips, no cash/just plastic, Martial Law, TOTAL Government dependency/control. When we are raising a family, working long hours, some two jobs, lots of things go unnoticed or just get ignored.

No one can comprehend how bad it will be til it is. We have NEVER been told to stay home, quit work and rely on the Government. We are seeing a lot of "firsts" since January. Can our minds and bodies handle what's coming?

Not without God - I wonder what doctor they will have on the news explaining the Rapture and the disappearance of so many people? I won’t be here for it but it’s just a thought.

While the devil is preparing people for the Anti Christ, God is preparing people for the Rapture. I don’t know when the Rapture will take place but I do believe it could be soon. And I KNOW that I won’t be left behind when that trumpet sounds!

I also believe right now that God is giving us a chance to repent. We need to get the Gospel message out!!! Until the Good Lord calls me away from this world to go home, I want to make it clear that I believe in Jesus Christ as the one and only True Lord and Savior. Despite the fact that I am human, and I fail a lot, I believe that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that He came as a baby, I believe that He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins and that He rose from the dead on the third day and He is in Heaven preparing a place for all those who believe and trust Him as their Savior. 

He loves us all dearly (far more than we deserve) and forgives our sins when we repent. His Word says John 3:16 "whosoever believeth in Me, shall not perish but have ever lasting life.”

The Bible also says Matthew 10:33 "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which art in heaven”.

This is the best challenge I have seen on Facebook; so, if the Holy Spirit moves you and you’re not ashamed, just copy, and make this as your status update.

Can I get an Amen for being a believer in God The Father, God The Son, and God The Holy Spirit? Amen!

Fake Friends

When we were younger, we called everyone who showed us love our friend. Never mind that as kids, some of us didn’t have good discernment to know that not everyone who shows you love is your friend. Growing up means a lot of your friends aren’t really your friends.

This Too Shall Pass

Repost from Nyca Williams

You usually i show my belief but I don't go deep bc in today's world ppl always trying to tell you what to believe and down you saying its the white mans religion. Maybe so ,maybe we were indoctrinated into a belief system that's not originally ours guess what? Idgaf I know this the Great I am was present each and every time I didn't know what to do. He was there when my health tried me. He was there when a bill was due and I didn't know what to do. So you believe what you want. 

Also understand this race is not for the swift but for the one that can endure. Meaning things aren't going to always be sunshine & red roses no ma'am,no sir but just keep going and watch what happens live !!!! Its OK to be sad,I am sad a lot but I keep remembering Lizzie told me I am not built to break and that I am a conqueror through Jesus Christ and He will bring me out alright. I have to reflect back on that bc in a world like today we all need encouragement. 

Lastly, stop expecting to find happiness within from other ppl. We are all the same and we all have our issue. Find your happiness in the fact you are here and each day is a new opportunity to get it right.Believe you are the best you know and whatever your situation is in His time and your faithful strides things will change. Your family might not understand, your kids might not understand, your co workers might not understand  but the Creator does and He sees you and hears you and will act when He knows you need it most. You are special, you are loved ,you are worthy simply bc you are created in the image You usually i show my belief but I don't go deep bc in today's world ppl always trying to tell you what to believe and down you saying its the white mans religion.

Throwback Tuesday: Confession

When I listened to one of Steve Harvey's messages, he said some real stuff. He said that some believers will make it to heaven without getting all the blessings God has for them. I got to thinking I don't want to make Heaven only to find out there's a box of blessings God wanted to give me, but I was too in my own way to see it.

  Gentle parenting breeds disrespectful & entitled kids.🀦🏾😎I’m glad I was raised old-school.
