Protect Your Mind

Good Morning, Sunshine!

Praise God ...Praise God...Praise God!!! It's that time again for us to go before the Lord. Hoping each of you will continue to have a blessed and wonderful week.

Heavenly Father, we come with hearts of praise and thanksgiving. We thank you for blessing us to be alive and well on today. Thank you for being our buckler, constantly fighting off evil spirits that try to cause discord or damage in our daily lives. We're thankful to know that at the mentioning of your name, every demon has to flee. Thank you for covering our minds. Lord, we will think on things that are pure and not of evil. As a man thinketh, so is he. Father, we believe we are a peculiar generation; we believe we are conquerors; we believe that we can do all things through your name that strengthens us. No more will we resort back to our old ways; behold all things have been made new. Lord, we thank you for a renewed mind and heart. Lord, we give thanks today for you said "greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world", Hallelujah Yahweh, we give your name all the glory, honor and praise. We will continue with this mindset of praising you all the day long. You are so worthy of our praise. We love you and adore you. May you continue to cover each and everyone on today. Bless their homes; bless their families. In Jesus name, Amen!




Have a blessed day!







Love,

Let's Talk About Faith

Matthew 17:20 says, "And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you".

Brothers and Sisters, please meditate on God's Word, believe in His Word and trust that He will make a way for you and your loved ones. His Word does not return void. Be encouraged on today and join with me in prayer...

Heavenly Father, we come this day lifting your name up on high. You deserve to be praised and adored. We delight ourselves in you. We are so thankful to see this new day. We are thankful to have health and strength in our bodies and a praise on our lips. Father, forgive us of sins we might have committed and those against our brothers. Father, we are striving to please you daily; sometimes we may stumble or fall but you continue to pull us on through. Father, I know not what my brothers and sisters are going through on this day or week but Lord we will continue to act in obedience to your Word. So whatever the issue or situation is, begin to speak to those mountains and watch God move in your lives. Father, we thank you for your Holy Spirit that lives in us. We thank you for giving us power and authority to trample over serpents. We thank you that in due season we shall reap what we sow. We thank you that you are getting the glory out of our lives. We thank you that even in the midst of our battles, our struggles, we are still able to encourage those around us. Father, continue to blow our minds with your awesome power. Continue to enlarge the territories of those that trust in you. Father, build up the ministries , build up the churches, build up the workers of the field. Help them not to become discouraged but Father send the support, send the worshippers, send the praisers, send the comforters, send your help, Lord. In all that we do, in all that we go through, Lord we say Yes to your will. Father, we set our desires aside and we say Yes to your will. Heavenly Father, remove pride; remove self-doubt; remove any thoughts of jealousy and just do a new work in us. Let us continue to show love to all men. Let us continue to walk in your way. Help us to keep your statutes and commandments, day by day. Lord, we thank you. We honor you. We adore you. It's in Jesus name, I pray, Amen!

Have a glorious day in the Lord, Brothers and Sisters!!!!




Love always,



Chaquita

Get To Building Ladies

Happy New Year!!!!!

I haven't been on the blog for the new year so I wanted to get on it today.

Today is for the ladies so guys pass this post onto the women in your lives.

Ladies it is time for us to become contractors!  Building contractors!  Specifically wisdom building contractors!

Proverbs 14:1 says, "A wise woman builds her house,  but with her own hand the foolish one tears hers downs."

Ladies if  we are not building our houses then what are we doing?

I am teaching on this tonight in Bible study and I am so excited because God has had this on my heart and has been dealing with me on this subject for sometime.

When you think of a contractor you think of tools.  So picture this.

Hammer - hammers nails in but turn it around and it pulls the nails out.
Screw Driver - used to tighten screws if turned to the right but loosens them if turned to the left.
Pliers - tightens or loosens
Wire Cutters - cut wires

I think you get the picture.  How are we using our tools ladies?
Our tongue is like a hammer.  It can put people together or pull them apart.
The screw driver is our daily life.  Where are we going lefty loosey when we need to go righty tighty.
Our hands are like pliers.  What or who are we holding onto.
How many of us need wire cutters to cut the strings the have us tied down mentally, emotionally and even spiritually?  Did you just say Amen?

Listen this life is not a dress rehearsal.  It is the once chance we have to make a difference in the lives of the people around us.

It is time to build our houses ladies!  So grab your tool belt and hard hat and let's get to it!!!

Much Love,
Jamison

It's Praying Time

Good Morning, Saints!

On this past Sunday, an 89 year old faithful man of God preached from the pulpit and voiced "Stop Now, It's Praying Time"! Brothers and Sisters, I can not even begin to comment on how this statement has became so powerful in my life. We're only in our second week of the new year and already I've heard stories of people dealing with health issues, family loss, employment concerns, etc. It is praying time; probably pastime. Loved ones, I come this day to encourage each of you to remain in prayer. Pray when you're having a good day; Pray when you're having a bad day; Pray when you don't know how things are going to work out just pray...pray...pray! I believe God is still in control and we should not be consumed by this world but by the transforming of our minds...."

Heavenly Father, I come this morning with a sincere and grateful heart. Father, your grace and mercy are new to us every morning. Forgive us of any sins we might have committed. Forgive us from sins that we didn't know we committed. Continue to lead and guide us through our daily lives. Pierce our hearts to show and display love, even to the unlovable. Help us to be kind to all men. Help us to set aside our desires and set our minds upon you. Lord, we delight in you. Lord, we love you. Father, it is you that gives us life. It is you who knows our deepest thoughts and concerns and with this we know there will be no good thing you will withhold from us. We thank you for opened doors; we thank you for closed doors. Father, visit the ones who are in the hospital bed, fighting for their lives. Visit the homeless shelters. Visit the households. Visit the married couples, singles, divorced and widowed. Lord, we cry out for a visit from you. Lord, just do it. We are vessels ready to be sanctified and used by you. Father, get the glory out of our lives. Continue to help us to be mindful and discerning of spirits. Help us to wait with patience in all things and without grumbling or complaining. When times get hard, send your angels to comfort the broken hearted. Father, we know you are still in the blessing business and there is nothing to hard for you. Lord, we thank you that your word will not return back void. We thank you that you are ever omnipresent. We thank you that you've already destined us for greatness. So Lord we will endure hardness like a good soldier. Because in the end, we are certain that we will win. Thank you for your blood; thank you for taking my place on the cross; thank you for another chance. We love you Jesus; we love you with all of our hearts. We thank God and it is so, in Jesus name, Amen!





With much love and gratitude,



Chaquita

Concentrate On Me

HAPPY NEW YEAR, BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!!

Hoping your first week of the year is starting off well. Many of us have returned from a much needed vacation and now, actively sprinting forward to newer and better things...As I'm sitting at my desk, the Lord spoke to my heart and said "Concentrate On Me". The definition of concerntrate was defined as "think intensely about something: to focus all of your thoughts or mental activity on one subject or activity, usually in silence". Question: How many of us have allowed "stuff" to flood our minds this week? ME!! There were so many concerns plaguing my mind since last year and I had forgotten about God's precious word "cast all your burdens on the Lord..." Oh what relief!!!

This year, I encourage each of you to not stress or worry about anything. God has already predestined us for greatness and He will see us to the end. Just hang in there. The good thing is HE KNOWS YOU!!!!

Father God, I come this day thanking you for another new year. Lord, we are so grateful to be amongst the land of the living while remembering those who did not live to see this day. Father, we may not know what this year will bring us but we are firm believers of your word and your promises. So we thank you for covering us from dangers seen and unseen. Lord, I declare and decree this day that each of my brothers and sisters will expect CRAZY, AMAZING BLESSINGS (thanks Renardo)! And it is so, in Jesus name, Amen!

So don't worry about tomorrow; forget about those problems and just begin to praise God wherever you are. God inhabits the praises of his people!!!! HALLELUJAH





Love you lots,



Chaquita
