Daily Devotion for July 30, 2017

If you’re waiting to fix your own problems or wait until things get better before you go back to church, IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!
Satan (even some folks) will tell you, “You ain’t got to be at church to hear from God!” True! But God designed the church to be your FAMILY to help & encourage you! There’s a reason satan does not want you in service TODAY! GO ANYWAY! There is a taylor made Word for you! (It may come from the pulpit, pew or parking lot). Make the devil into a liar by getting to church & praising God during your hurt, depression, problems, etc., & watch God move in you! You’ll be glad you went to church today! Be blessed!

If you want God’s peace in your life, evaluate who you LISTEN to & what you’re ENTERTAINED by! What you listen to & what you’re entertained by will get into your spirit, INNER TAMED your spirit & allow drama to control your life. Watch what you feed your spirit. Gossip, drama, lies, & manipulation are things we call DRAMA, but actually they are spirits known as WITCHCRAFT! Regardless if it’s your coworkers, friends, family, or church members, watch what people feed you (& what you take from them)! Remember, you are what you eat & what goes in you will come out! Be blessed!

Teeth or road fillings are good for repairing holes in your teeth or on the roads. Sadly, they are only temporary relieves & will eventually have to be repaired again.

Jesus’ love will fill your heart, reveal your TRUE identity, & help you to overcome EVERY hurtful thing (or person) that damaged your heart! There’s a LIFETIME warranty that covers every situation, even if it’s your fault! No longer wonder WHERE DO BROKEN HEARTS GO? It belongs in the hands of God!! Be blessed!!

An apple comes from an apple tree & it will produce an apple seed. Although it may take time, the seed will have the SAME characteristics as the apple it came from. Father! Children are the seeds that comes from the apple… YOU! You MUST carry yourself in an honorable & respectful way, so you can produce healthy seeds (Children) that will be pleasing to God. Wise & Godly living will prevent you from planting your apple in a “crazy or contaminated soil”. WOMEN! Don’t be so desperate in wanting an apple, that you bite off the wrong one. Ask God to tell you to preserve your “soil” until He sends the right apple who will love & respect you! Remember, seeds will copy the same nature as who they come from. If you can accept the method of the Apple & the Seeds, then you’ll understand & be more careful with the Birds & the Bees! Be blessed!

I made it late to my dentist appointment. I was told that the next patient’s appointment was in 5 minutes. If they didn’t make it, I would be able to take their appointment time to be seen. But if they make it to their appointment, I would have to reschedule because I was late. As I waited sitting in my seat, I looked at the front door & every car that drove near the dentist office hoping that patients didn’t show up. Suddenly, I heard God say, “DON’T WORRY! I got you! You will be seen! After a few minutes, someone walked through the door for their appointment. RATS! Then I remembered, God said, “DON’T WORRY! I GOT YOU! I felt God’s peace & made myself comfortable in my seat. A few minutes later, a staff member walked up to me & said, “The Doctor CAN see you NOW!” In life, we stress & worry about things when God already told us, “DON’T WORRY! I GOT YOU!” Stressing or worrying doesn’t bring or speed our blessings or prayer requests, but it will bring sickness, ulcers, sleepless nights, & high blood pressure. Even if it looks bad or you missed your opportunity, if God told you He’ll take care of it, know that HE WILL! Thank God for His Grace & Mercy for still giving us what we want, even if it’s our fault! Be blessed!

Daily Devotion for July 25, 2017

Trust produces LOVE! If you don’t (or can’t) trust them, then examine why you’re STILL with them. Some people stay in bad relationships because of their fear of being alone, the sex, think they can change someone, feel that’s the best they can do or their wrong understanding of what LOVE REALLY is. No matter how you try to convince yourself, you (& those who really cares about you) know that you AIN’T happy! Even if you give them more sex, that will NOT make MORE love or trust towards them. It will only make you more FRUSTRATED & WASTE MORE TIME! AND DON’T TRY TO HOLD ON TO THEM UNTIL SOMEBODY BETTER COMES! That’s immature & unfair to you & the one you need to leave! Realize, dating is the time when you decide if that person is worth being in your life, if you’ll are compatible, are they committible, can you trust them with your heart or care of your heart, will they respect you/ your children, can you depend on them if you’re down or sick & are you willing to accept who they are. Don’t feel like you’re stuck or you have to stay in an unhealthy relationship! Dating is NOT marriage! You can leave ANYTIME you want! Ask God to help YOU to work on the relationship with Him 1st! Allow God to heal anything wounds that you may have, help you to forgive yourself of past (or current mistakes) & forgive those who had hurt you! It’s OK to be single & get yourself together! Being single is NOT punishment but a time of PREPARATION for the RIGHT PERSON!
PLEASE take this post SERIOUSLY BEFORE you make a BIG mistake & have a lifetime of REGRETS! Be blessed!

Whatever you don’t surrender to God, you will surrender to it! Only God should be your Lord & Master, not your problems, situations or people. Get it out of your hands & put it into the hands of the ONLY One who can fix it. Take your burdens to the Lord & LEAVE them there!
Be blessed!
