SPEAK IT OUT!

Faith101-if we want God to do the unprecedented, the extraordinary, the unfathomable, then we must speak the unprecedented, the extraordinary, and the unfathomable, for He is the God that creates. He creates your something out of what presently does not exist. The extent that He will bring what you ask for is based upon what you speak into existence. That's why we cannot speak what we see before us, we can't speak what we hear, we cannot speak what we "feel" or are capable of physically touching. Because when we do, we are simply speaking what already exists. God doesn't move when this is done, because we have not spoken faith. Faith is speaking out what does not currently exist. It takes no faith to speak what already exists.

God is not excited by chaos that Satan has played apart in creating in our lives. Only Satan gets excited about hearing this. God gets excited by us speaking our faith in Him, and what He is doing in our lives. This happens when we say, "Thank You God, for doing the unprecedented, the extraordinary, the unfathomable in my current situation! I look at it like this, God's ears are not tuned into unbelief, therefore He does not react on our behalf. Note the word I used was re-act. GOD'S EARS ARE TUNED TO HEAR WORDS OF FAITH, AND THAT'S WHAT MOVES GOD! He's like, "Whoooa, did You hear that Yeshua? Oh, yeah, I heard that too! I do believe We just heard Us some faith! Al-righty! Watch Us now!" That's when Yeshua stands up and says, I'm with Ya! Lets roll Daddy-O!~Written by FLOWERCHIC

GOD IS AT THE CENTER OF MY RELIGION

James 1:26-27
26) If you claim to be religious but don't control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless.
27) Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for the orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.


My Pastor and I were discussing this new phase among Christians, where some are not wanting to be considered as religious. We're only guessing, but it seems nobody in this group wants to be considered in the same league as the religious leaders during Jesus' time. Well I don't want to be confused with that group either, but I'm not willing to kick religion to the curb.

God's the center of my religion.

Religion is not a practice that I am ashamed of. I am not "uncool" because I am a participant. Nor am I too "cool" to participate. In my religion, God is the Creator of all things. His Son is Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for the remission of my sin. Because I accept this as fact, I am in right standing with God. There are many other religions out there, but they are not centered around the worship of the only God there is-the Creator of heaven and earth and all that is within, the Father of Jesus Christ-the only Lord & Savior. God IS the God of my religion, and my religion is Christianity.

For some people, the following 3 words hold negative connotations-church, religion, and Christianity. The devil is a liar! The church of believers of Jesus Christ is a wonderful, functioning institution, that atheist are in lust of. Are there some in the church that are giving it a bad name, by not following the teachings of God? Yes, there are some. What can we do about them? PRAY! Make no mistake, Christ loves His church, and He IS coming back for it! Religion-there are many of them out there, do they all revolve around the worship of the only Creator, whose Son is Jesus Christ the Savior? Nope! Well as long as you are participating in the One religion that does, then don't be ashamed of your religion! Christianity-Lord, God, Almighty, this word makes some Christians afraid! LOL! Good, this word should be held in reverence! It is the One true religion that revolves around the pure worship of the Supreme Creator God Almighty! God is the Only God that Creates something out of nothing! God is the Only God that raises the dead! God is the Only God that heals the sick! God is the Only God who has a Son named Jesus Christ, who can save your soul from going hell! Come on! Negative connotations? Answer, be wiling to define what is negative, and what is not. Simple, do not let Satan define what God has determined to be good, as evil. Stay blessed! ♥

Daughter Moments With My Dad

My favorite parent/daughter moment? Laughing and having fun sitting on my parent's couch next to my dad playing with his new jitterbug phone, sending text messages, and photos to Sista, and trying to figure out how best to customize his phone for his needs. The cool part? Me on the line with tech support and him sitting across from me at one point, with his arms crossed casually across his midsection and his one leg draped across the other "just a swinging" with not a care in the world, as I conveyed which phone options he wanted to keep, and those he wanted discarded to customize his phone just the way he wanted. I had tech support on speaker phone and I'd ask him questions. He'd nod his head "Yes" or he'd nod "No" to what he wanted, all the while sitting there all so casually, and I bet thinking, "Wow, this thing of raising two daughters sure has paid off!" ♥

I told him to not worry about the technical side of how to get things to work the way he wanted, to just tell me what he wanted, and technical support and I would make it happen. After he accepted that, he total relaxed with all this new technology. I reminded him of when we were kids, he and mom took care of all the techie stuff we had not a clue about, and he said, "Yeah, now that we're old, you guys that care of all this new stuff!" I said, "Yeah, just sit back and say, "Handle it, handle it," with the wave of your hand, in a shooing motion. We just laughed!
