Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Let Israel say:“His love endures forever.” Let the house of Aaron say:“His love endures forever.” Let those who fear the Lord say: “His love endures forever.” (Psalms 118: 1-4)
Hello Everyone!
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, HOORAY! Many of us will either travel to gather with families and friends or remain in the comfort of your own home with your families. Whatever your pleasure, ENJOY....ENJOY...ENJOY!
Isn't it amazing how time flies?!? Lord willing, we're about to embrace another season and New Year. Reflecting on past events, there are some things such as people, places etc that have either withered or passed away. Only remains left behind are its memories. You may not ever be able to receive or give back love in return but at least you have the memories, right?!?
Now picture God's love. Isn't it beautiful? It's not a fleeting memory but it's an everlasting love that's available to all mankind, whose not afraid or unwilling to receive it!!! No matter how old or young we are, HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER. Regardless of our circumstances, HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER!!! Even with unanswered prayers, KEEP PRAYING, because HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER!!!
Pray this message will marinate your minds and hearts. Remember God loves you and so do I.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Chaquita

What purpose are you serving?
Good Morning! In life, we become so consumned in our daily routines, jobs, duties etc. The reason being is because we EXPECT RESULTS such as promotions, raises, achievements and so forth. But what happens when the role(s) you've been portraying has became stale or unproductive? You may ask yourself this question, "what purpose am I serving?" Hmmm, now you may begin to ask "what area(s) in my life is lacking such purpose and what steps can be taken to improve the identified area?"
John 15:5 says: "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing". Here Jesus is emphasizing the connection between the vine and the branches. Jesus is the source of life and the source of fruitfulness. The person who has a continual intimate fellowship with Jesus will produce much fruit. Apart from that fellowship with Jesus, we will not produce fruit no matter how hard we try or how much we work at it. We can read the Bible, study it in the different languages, and study all the works of different teachers and still not have fellowship with God the Father. We can pray until we are blue in the face and still not have fellowship with Jesus. We can obey all the laws and still not have fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
In conclusion, if you've ever asked yourself this question, don't condemn yourself into thinking that God does not love you. He may be trying to get your attention and needs you to focus on Him in spite of whatever you may be going through right now. He LOVES YOU! And don't you forget it. May you continue to seek God for direction in all areas of your life and watch how He'll work it out for you.
Listed below are some words to live by:
a . SEEK: (meaning to search diligently for). (Jeremiah 29:13).
b. CALL: (meaning to cry out). (Jeremiah 33:3).
c. ASK: (meaning to make a sincere request). (John 15:7).
d. WAIT: (meaning to be patient to receive). (Psalms 27:14).
e. HEAR: (meaning to listen to understand). (I Samuel 3:10).
f. VOLUNTEER: (meaning to be willing to serve before asked). (Isaiah 6:8).
g. OBEY: (meaning to follow through with the instructions). (John 10:27).
**Illustration: Take a large clear pitcher and fill it most of the way with water. Pour in just enough cooking oil until you have a thin solid layer of oil on the surface of the water. Next, take some red food coloring and pour a few large drops of the food coloring on top of the oil and watch what happens. It may take a minute or more for the food coloring to penetrate through the oil. If after a minute or so nothing happens, try adding a little more red food coloring. Now, see the water as the world and yourself as the thin layer of cooking oil. See the red food coloring as the love of God flowing through your life into the world. Don't just read this, but try it. It will be an illustration that you won't forget.

LOVE...
Hello Everyone,
On this Valentines Day as I got ready this morning and looked at my cuff bracelet. It has part of 1 Corinthians 13:4-6 on it.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
Were you see love insert God. God is patient with us. God is kind to us. I could just keep going. He is so good to us. He loves us so much!!!
Know that God loves you and so do I.
Much Love,
Jamison

Yes HE Can!!!
Good Morning Heirs of God!
So sorry I was unable to leave a prayer post on last week but please know that I carry you all in prayer, daily...One of the security guards came into my office and shared how a very close friend of his was in the hospital battling cancer. I come before you now asking that each of you will help me lift his friend, our sister in Christ, Renee, in prayer...
Heavenly Father, we come with a heart of gratitude and love. We thank you for waking us up this morning and blessing us to make it to our destinations. We are forever yours and we look to you for all of our help, guidance and protection. Lord, we humbly present ourselves to you on this day and asking that your will be done in our lives for your glory to be revealed in us. Father, we lift up our sister Renee who is battling cancer. Father, we believe that by your stripes she is healed in Jesus name. Father, we thank you for breathing life into her body. We thank you for the fight you have placed down on the inside of her. We thank you that she is more than a conqueror. So we say goodbye cancer, goodbye pain, and goodbye. Though they slay us, yet we will trust you. Father, we thank you for comforting Renee's heart and spirit and we thank you for giving her strength like wings of an eagle. Lord, minister to her now in the name of Jesus. Lord, bring peace to the mind. Remove fear. Remove doubt. Lord, help her to lay aside every weight in the name of Jesus. Do it, God...Do it, God! Father, we pray you provide strength and support to her family and friends. Help them to see that you are still in the blessing and miraculous business. Father, we love you so much because you first loved us. Lord, we thank you! Continue to fill us with your precious spirit so that our prayers, our praise, our worship will flow to you like streams and rivers, all the day long. Lord, we love you and adore you. In Jesus name, Amen!
Brothers and Sisters, please be mindful of others as you go about your daily lives and lift up a prayer for them as we never know what anyone is going through. Thanks for your support and may God's blessings be upon you.
Love always,
Chaquita

Pour In Pour Out
Hello All,
This post is something that I have been wanting to share with you for a while but just hadn't taken the time to sit and type it. So I am taking just a few minutes to get this out to you.
Have you had those days when you feel just tapped out. You need someone to pour into you from the pitchers of love, compassion, friendship, hope and on and on. Sure you have. You may be feeling that way right now. I did the other week and a friend poured into me such kindness through her words that, for a moment, I was speechless.
God knows what you need poured into you to revive you and encourage you along life's journey. When you pray pouring your thankfulness, hurts and sins to God, He then pours into you blessings, healing and forgiveness. Wow! What a mighty God we serve.
The really wonderful thing is that He does not run out of the love, healing, blessings and forgiveness that He pours into you. He doesn't get tired of you coming to Him to be refilled!
Just remember in order to be poured into you have to pour out. So pour out love, blessings, and forgiveness on others as God it pours out on you.
Much Love,
Jamison
PS. I kept having to do things so this post literally took most of the day instead of a few minutes. Too Funny!
