Happy Holidays, Everyone! I hope and pray each of you are having a wonderful week. Now, let us forget about what happened on yesterday and let's go to the Lord in prayer...
Heavenly Father, we come this day with a gift of thanksgiving. Father, we thank you for blessing us to be amongst the land of the living. We thank you for your constant covering over each and every one of us and our families. Lord, we are ever so mindful to give your name all the glory, honor and praise that is due you. Lord, it is you whom we seek daily. It is you who we want to praise and glorify all the days of our lives. Father, it is you who sits high and looks low on all the people in this world. Fill us with a fiery desire to continue to spread your word unto your people. Fill us with your precious spirit to discern others who are hurting, who are depressed and who are ready to give up. Give us a servant's heart to love as you love so we may be able to discern between the right and wrong. Lord, help us to be patient in every areas of our lives. Help us to not judge. Help us to show kindness to all men. Lord, help us! As we continue to go through this week, remind us that we are a peculiar generation and that we are the head and not the tail. So, we come against any condemnation, guilt or shame for there is NO condemnation in those who love Christ Jesus. Father, we thank you for caring for us and showing us your love, daily. Lord, send your healing and deliverance to those that are faced with medical disparities in the name of Jesus. Lord, we thank you for breaking yokes of bondages whereas your children will experience a sense of peace, joy and freedom. We thank you Jesus for what you are about to do and praising you because it's already done. In your darling son Jesus name, Amen!
Be Blessed,
Chaquita:)

Thank You
Heavenly Father, we come with a grateful heart this morning. We thank you for waking us up this day. We thank you for protecting us and shielding us from all hurt, harm and danger on last night. We are so thankful to not have awaken to a morning of terror but a day of peace. Lord, we will enter into your gates with thanksgiving and into your courts with praise. So Lord, we say Hallelujah! You are great, great, great!!! Father, may you travel with each of my brothers and sisters on today. Lord, dwell in our homes, our jobs, our schools. Please continue to be the buckler like we know you can be for all those who cry out, Abba! Lord, we just want you to know how much we love you and need you in our daily lives.
Now Father, we ask for forgiveness of our sins. May you continue to cleanse us from all unrighteousness and let our eyes be open to see life as you see it. Father, bless each and every person reading this prayer. Father, let us exemplify you on today, in all our ways. Lord, we honor you and we bless your holy name. In Jesus name, thank God and Amen!
Love,
Chaquita

Your Ways
Hello Friends,
"When a man's ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him." Proverbs 16:7
Are our ways pleasing to the LORD?
Take this moment to think about the things you do, think or say that He would not be pleased with. Just today alone I can think of things that He would not have been pleased with that I did, said or thought.
God loves us so much that He gives us new mercy EVERY MORNING! Praise God! He sees our efforts to do better. But are we really making an effort to improve our ways or are we (me) going through the motions?
So as the weekend quickly approaches take time to examine your ways, ask God for forgiveness and then put forth real effort to improve them. I will be doing this task with you friends.
Much Love,
Jamison

Something for the Soul
Good Morning! Hoping each of you had a wonderful and joyous time with your loved ones over the holiday. Thanksgiving goes above and beyond the delicious food and gatherings; it's more so about giving the Lord thanks for all He has done. He continues to bestow his grace and mercy upon his people and we should thank Him for it. He continues to watch over us just like a mother bird and we should thank Him for it. Oh, how my soul loves the One who sits high and looks low. I love my sweet savior, Jesus!
Heavenly Father who art in heaven, walk with us today. We do not know what lies ahead but Father we put our trust in you knowing that you will continue to lead us and guide us all the day long. Father, you have our lives in our hands and we are reminded that all things work together for the good for those who love God. Lord, please provide direction and wisdom as we encounter various situations in our lives. Lord, we may not know how the situations are going to work out but we trust you. Lord, we don't know when the wait will end but we trust you. Father, you said, let the weak now say I am strong. We are strong in the name of the Lord! Father, continue to cover us with your blood. Shield and protect us from dangers seen and unseen. Give us a heart to love like you love. Help us to seek you, daily, without any selfish gains or motives. Let us be like a child, coming with a sincere heart and present our concerns unto you. Help us to be mindful in all our ways. Help us, Lord...Help us, Lord...Help us. Renew our minds and clean our hearts so we may continue to be the light in a dying world; in our churches; in our families; on our jobs. Father, send your angels to comfort the families who have lost loved ones; to the single parent; to the one going through a divorce; to the service men and women; to the one with marital problems; to the sick and lost; to the depressed...send your angels, in the name of Jesus!
Let us continue to be reminded that your word said you would never leave us or forsake us. Lord, we love you today and we thank you for all that you have done and what you continue to do for us. In Jesus name, we pray, Amen!
So my brothers and sisters, may you continue to trust in the One who made the heavens and earth. Believe that God knows your heart and concerns before you even come to Him in prayer. I pray each of you will have a blessed week and until we meet again, Be Encouraged!
Love,
Chaquita

Lift Him Up!!!
Psalm 34: 3 reads "O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together"
Heavenly Father, we come this morning to say Thank You! Thank you for waking us up this morning and blessing us with your warm presence. God, we are ever so grateful of the time you spent in creating and designing each and every one of us and it's with our daily praise and worship, we say thank you! Father, may you continue to shine your light upon my brothers and sisters. Bless them on this day with good health and strength. Encourage their hearts this morning. Bring peace to the minds, now, in Jesus name. Lord, we just say thank you for doing it and we bless your name that it is already done. In Jesus' name, Amen!
Brothers and Sisters, Thanksgiving is vastly approaching us. Please be mindful of those who might have lost loved ones or just may not have a place to go. Let our hearts and minds be open to those who are less fortunate for we do not know a person's situation. So on this week, ask God for his direction and how you can be a blessing to someone that is in need.
In closing, let us remember Matthew 25:45 "And he will answer, 'I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.' (NLT)....be blessed!
Love,
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!

Believe In Me
Good Morning!
Last week, I have been asking God to bless me with a word that I can share with each of you. On this morning, God placed in my spirit "Believe In Me". I'm very glad about it! Brothers and Sisters, we will all experience our time to weep, a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance but whatever season you find yourself in, REJOICE anyhow!!!
Father God, I come this morning asking for your forgiveness of our sins. Lord, forgive us of any sins that were committed by omission or commission and rinse us with your love, grace and mercy. Father, we are ever so grateful for sending your son Jesus to die for us. Remind us all, Lord, how we should continue to be the light in the midst of darkness. Lord, help us not to settle or conform to this world in any shape, form or fashion. Help us to believe that we are children of God and we have the power to trample over serpents. Father God, whatever my brothers and sisters are going through today, help them to Believe In You! Lord, I bind the spirit of fear; I bind the spirit of worry and send it back to the pits of hell. Lord, I thank you for their joy. I thank you for their peace and I thank you Lord for ALREADY working it out. Saints, if you're concerned about how your bills are going to get paid, Believe In Him! If you're seeking a financial breakthrough, Believe In Him! If you are depressed or distressed, Believe In Him!!! He can WORK IT OUT for you! Now Lord, continue to bless, direct and guide us throughout this week. May each of them experience your glory in every area of their lives. Bless their families and communities. Thank you Lord! In Jesus' name, Amen.
I pray each of you will find solace in just meditating on Him and in his Word. Continue to lift up your heads, my brothers and sisters and don't let the devil steal your joy. I love you all and may God bless you, one by one.
Love,
Chaquita
