Hello Everyone,
How are each of you doing? It seems like FOREVER since I last posted. For that I am truly sorry.
So where have I been? I have been going through a valley and now it seems like I am coming out. Hallelujah!!!! Guys, I have had a Job experience minus the boils. Thank God for His mercy. Amen!
It has really been something. All the while trying to keep the faith, sanity and a positive attitude and outlook. Well, let me tell you when faith is all you have, you realize faith is all you need! (Reread until that sentence sinks in.)
Faith can really move mountains! Health mountains, people mountains, marriage mountains, single mountains, child mountains, financial mountains, economic mountains, work mountains etc. Just that mustard see of faith can change everything!!!
Whatever you are going through keep your faith. Jesus will see you through.
Much Love,
Jamison

Putting Your Feet To Your Faith
Hello Everyone,
I wanted to take a quick moment over lunch to share this thought with you.
This week at my church we are having revival services. For those of you who don't know what that is, revival is a service were Christian's come together to hear the Word of God, be encouraged in our faith and rededicate ourselves to doing God work. (I had someone ask me what is revival yesterday.)
Last night the speaker talked about faith. She quoted Matthew 9:29 which says, "...according to your faith be it unto you." You can read the entire chapter to get a clear understanding of the scripture text. This chapter in Matthew tells the story of the blind men who were following Jesus asking to be healed of their blindness. Jesus lays His hands on their eyes and then says according to your faith be it unto you and instantly they received their sight.
So how did feet come into the picture? Well the speaker really talked about how the blind men followed Jesus although they could not see him. Then it hit me... they put their feet to their faith. They believed with all of there hearts that Jesus could and would heal them. They began to walk in the direction of were their faith which was in Jesus. So many times we have faith in people and things and therefore we begin to follow them. Place your faith in Jesus Christ and follow after Him.
Okay, I hope you get this with me. If you are believing God to do something in your life. If you have been praying, asking God, seeking God and knocking on God's door for something put your feet to your faith!!! Follow Jesus and begin walking in the direction that you are wanting to go.
If you have been asking for a job, begin get your feet in line with your faith and go after the job you want. Have you been asking for God to help with financial provision? Begin to put you feet to your faith and look for ways to earn income while you keep faith that He will pour down a blessing upon you.
Now for my single Sisters seeking a spouse. Do not, I repeat do not take this to mean that you are to hunt down a man like a tiger hunts down its prey. It is up to the man to look for the woman. "He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord." Proverbs 18:22 NIV. Putting your feet to faith in this area is to begin to prepare yourself to be a wife. Ask yourself, do you need to improve your relationship with Jesus Christ so that you can be a true blessing to your husband, do you need to work on being a better housekeeper, better at managing your finances or becoming a better cook. If the answer is yes to any of those questions then put your feet to faith in those areas and follow Jesus Christ as you prepare yourself.
What a revelation?!?! I so love God. He just blows my mind!
Asking God to bless each of you in a mighty way.
Much Love,
Jamison

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
