God is Worthy to Be Praise!!!!

I am full of joy this morning in the pit of my belly.  God has truly been good to me and that goes without saying, its beyond words.  When I think of his goodness and how when you are in a situation and the weightiness of the world seems like its upon your shoulders, God will bring you out.  If you just cling to his word.  Speak his word, I don't care if its the only scripture you know, say it over and over.  Not just in your mind, let those words escape through your mouth.  God is a good God and he is worthy to be praised.  His word tells us to praise him every where, in the sanctuary, in the firmament of his powers. (in your car, in the bathroom, in your office at the park) Ps 150 His word tells us to praise him for everything, his mighty acts (you know those miracles and blessings that are bestowed upon you even when you know you not living right), his excellent greatness.  He is the expressiveness of our very existence our whole being.  We are to praise him, praise him, praise him.  Everything that has breathe praise ye the Lord. Ps 150  Try something different today.  Praise the Lord, tell him how good he is how awesome he is and just lift your voice and say Lord I love you, Jesus I love you, Holy spirit I Love You.  Be Blessed today but know that  It is truly better to be a blessing!!!

What's your purpose?

What is it that God has created you to do?  Do you know your calling?  God created each and everyone one of us for his purpose, to the praise of his glory of his grace. Eph 1:6 He wants his glory revealed and manifested in our life that we would bring glory and honor unto to his holy name.  We are all unique in a way and our gifting is specific to us.  God has equipped us with the necessary tools to carry out every assignment that he sends our way.  God says, “Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might show my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.” Rom 9:17 Seek God today for your purpose and “walk worthy of the vocation where with you are called to.” Eph 4:1 Simply put do what you were called to do, not what you want to do.  Let’s start living a life that is pleasing to God.

God's Word

The Lord's word is quick and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of spirit and soul and of the joints and marrow and is a discrener of the thoughts and intents of the heart.  Hebrew 4:12

I am Glad I serve and awesome God.  Thank You Lord for loving me inspite of my sins.  Thank You Lord for keeping and being my strength to wether the storm.  Thank you Lord my rock, my fortress, my deliver,my redeemer, my keeper.

Stay Encouraged in the Lord.  He gotcha.  Yes, he is holding you!  Stay in the fire and wether the storm!

Don't Be Deceived

You say God has destined you for greatness.  Then why can’t you discern the spirits that come to throw you off track?  Why can’t you discern the enemies attack? We must seek God’s face continuously in every area of our life.  We have to seek him for the new car, new job, new house, the relationship, the marriage, our children, and our families.  We have to seek God for the friends that try to join up with us, for the co worker that fight and come against us.   God says he has already given you the gift of discernment.  My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge. Hosea 4:6  God tells us in his word to try the spirits and see if they be of God.  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 1John 4:1  How does this concern you?  What spirits are trying to cleave and cling to you now while you trying to get to your there place in the Lord?  Don’t let these things hinder you by making you think they suppose to be in your there with you.  That’s why the scriptures say, “Wait on the Lord: be of good courage and he shall strengthen thine heart.” Psalm 27:14  ask for his help in your season of weakness and drought.  Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: Psalms 6:2  I am thy servant; give me understanding that I may know thy testimonies. Psalm 119:125

Then my brethren, Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.  Psalms 91:11

 Be blessed today knowing that God is your Refuge from every attack the enemy sends your way!

Be Still and Know that I Am God

Often times we find ourselves in situations and we say Lord Help me!  His word says that, “He is our refuge and our strength, a very present help in trouble.” Ps 46:10 you must believe that he has heard your complaint and is working on your behalf.  Do not complain about your situation and if you do find yourself complaining, “Repent immediately” and begin to “thank God” in advance for working the situation out for you.  To repent you must say, “Father forgive me, (then voice your sin) Restore unto to me the joy of my salvation and move on from it.  Don’t stay in that place freighting the thing you did.  Sometimes you may not even realize that you are complaining and then God will shine a light on the situation.  What he has done in this instance is that he has made the sin plain to you (he has made it known).  “Repent immediately,” That’s why the song says, “I will praise him in advance.”  We often find ourselves in situations that we want God to work out in our favor and for our good, but we don’t have the faith that is required of us to stand in that place.  The word of the Lord says to, “Fear not, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord which he (not man) will show you.” Exodus 14:13 “be still and know that I am God.” Ps 46:10

The Lord will work in your favor and turn your situation around.  He will fight for you but you must hold your peace. Exodus 14:14 When we learn to praise God in any situation (the storm), we give him the glory and we believe (knowing) that he is going to bring us out victoriously.   So stand still and just believe. Believe God, Believe his word.

To My Mom on this Mother's Day

May 13, 2012

Dear Regina Bradford,

G

od has sent babies to this world as a gift to many, but on today I thank him for a special kind of gift.  A mother’s love is a special gift to be cherished.  To my mother on this day, I am bless to have you another day.  I could not see life without you.  I love you and I cherish you and no one can ever compare to you.  When I feel all alone you are always there to send your warm embrace to let me know you still care.  When I am often forgotten about you stand there saying, I didn’t forget about you.  When I am sick and no one else is there you give tirelessly, you stay by my side, you always give a selfless love, a love that I just can’t compare.  When I think of my life, in spite of all that we have been through together.  I LOVE YOU.  Life can either make you or break you and on today I know that every event in life has helped to make me, mold me to be the mother that I am.    Now if I can just cook like you, I will have served my children well.  LOL 

M

om what it boils down to, Is I LOVE

  you so much and I just want to say Lord, thank you for my momma!  No matter how old I get you will always be my  mommy. 

With love from,

Tanquella Younta Bradford Rhoden

Who’s watching you?

Are you fighting the good fight of faith?  As believers our life is suppose to be an example for others.  While we are yet pressing our way through; someone else is watching to see if we are going to make it through. 

Sometimes we overlook the struggle trying to get to our purpose.  We look at our present condition (the place where we are at) and we count it nothing, when we should count it joy.  Do not despise your current position for in due season, these problems shall be but small infractions.  

My brethren count it all joy when ye fall in divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. James 1:2-3 KJV

You Can Make It!

In spite of how you feel,
In spite of what you see,
In spite of everything that is going on around you
YOU CAN MAKE IT!

Keep you eye on the prize
Steady your feet for the mark
Jesus is all you need to know
YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE IT!

Press on into the Glory of the Lord.
Turn your face like flint and run on.
For the word of Gods says,

But they that wait upon the Lord Shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.  Isaiah 40:31

Hallelujah

Praise God to whom all honor and glory is due.
Praise God he is worthy to be praised.
Praise God for all his  magnificent splendor.

God is great.  God is worthy. God is.......

All souls belong to the Lord.
It is the Lord who reconciles his people unto him.
Draw your people Lord in Jesus mighty name!
Lord we praise you, we glorify you, we lift you up, we magnify your HOLY name!!!
Hallelujah!!!

Who do men say that I AM?

Do you believe in the holy spirit?
Do you believe in Jesus the Son?
Do you believe in God the father?

What do you know about these three? 

What do you believe?  I am interested so please tell me?

Problems among the brethren

When you have something against someone do you look the person in the face?  Do you hide and act as if nothing is wrong?  I mean it is obvious that your actions and the love you have shown prior to this discord now cease to exist.
Facial expressions and body language are the biggest give aways to a person that is discontent with you.  Why not just go to the person and say I am upset with you; I didn't like what you said or simply state what the problem is?  How do you handle people you have problems with?  When you saved and have the spirit of discernment do you not understand that the other person can discern that you have an issue with them.  The bible says, "If thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault." Matt 18:15  This is a major problem in the church with church folk.  They have issues and instead of telling the person they have an issue with that they do, they just start to act funny and treat the individual differently.  This why individual leave the church.  Why must we act this way in this day and age?  If you are spirit filled as you claim then why treat other people with less compassion.  If your sister or brother came to you and said something, even though you have no power to change the situation at hand.  Why would you act like because it didn't happen to you that you don't care?  What is wrong with a spirit filled individual like this?  Anybody fill free to  comment.

Wealth and Riches in Christ

Is it me or does everyone who say they love Jesus have some type of ulterior motive, in that, they are trying to sale the world at large something? What do you think? I know the bible states the it is he who give thee power to get wealth. (Deu 8:18)  How are you helping the widows and orphans with this wealth?

What do you think about people who try to discipline your child, but when you look at their child, its obvious they do not discipline them?
