Friday










        Today is Friday, a day which represents many things to a variety of people. With the world's population at a staggering 7 Billion plus, it is no wonder that there are many thought patterns and persuasions under our skies. I woke up this morning remembering quite a few things, but I quickly brought to the fore, my need to give thanks.
You see, thanksgiving, I have learned, and still learning should precede all things. Thanksgiving, an expression of soul-felt gratitude, is a precursor to the inspiration of God. (The word of God cites thanksgiving at least 30 times in the King James version of the Holy Bible. )
       Next week is Good Friday! In this Easter season, we rise to the peak of the ‘thanksgiving spirit’, so to speak. Indeed, if our Lord had not made the eternal sacrifice, I would be lost in sin and damnation. I am eternally grateful, and so should you. Amen.
       Here is a short video clip for your meditation. As you listen and pray this morning, keep your eyes of Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith, for He is able to do exceedingly above all we ask or think, and it is in Him we live and move and have our being. He has blessed us with life and life more abundant than anyone could give. Hallelujah! To Him be all praise and thanksgiving for ever more. Amen
Be Blessed

Beyond Rabbits, Candles and Cakes.

O nly God knows in totality. (Omniscience). He knows what is, and that which is yet to come. Beyond the memories and the historical records, He knows what was, and even beyond eternity past. I spent a quiet Resurrection Sunday, reflecting on the immensity of the Christ Gospel. I found confirmation again, that beyond what the human mind could ever fathom, dwells the simple and gentle all powerful eternal truth of the Christ o s. When three Magi tracked the celestial omen in the night sky for many years, when they, taking advisement from the Angelic hosts were able to circumvent the plots of Herod, king and assassin, there was a Divine fiat established out of Heaven the Mission control Center for the Prince of Heaven’s journey into the midst of mankind (Immanuel).            Predicted in Psalm 91 and used by Satan at our Lord’s temptation (He shall give His Angels charge over thee), we see that snapshots of this Divine entrance had been placed with key players

Adieu 2014

        As the year 2014 quietly faded into the celestial archive to which all years eventually go, I became conscious of the presence of God. I have progressively, by His grace grown in sensing His presence over the years. By His Spirit, God makes His presence felt.                    The writers of the Books of the Holy Bible, inspired by this same presence, gave us so much insight into how the presence may be sought. I spent the last few days of 2014, seeking the face of God even more intensely. Why do this ? Knowing that 2014 was going to fade into memory, without a residue. It was necessary to ride the transition on a more concrete assurance of the presence of God, than on a fading memory. The Holy Spirit was my comfort through the fast fading year, and He will still be the lifter of my head in 2015!           In the Book of Romans, this same Spirit of God, moved Paul to write in verses 27 & 28 of Chapter 8:              "And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth w

A Day the Lord Has made

A BRIGHT NEW DAY  Everyday we wake up in bed, is a  new opportunity. We may have brought some old stuff through the night as we tossed and turned, However  in all reality, the day is new because the rays of the new day's sun bathe everything in a new perspective which demands a new reality. In my book  A BRIGHT NEW DAY,   I explore this paradigm to great lengths. We all need to see each day as a fresh opportunity, full of potential. Then, we have a chance to use the building blocks we have to a greater advantage and a successful outcome. So, how do we plan to use this insight? FIRST Go to bed with expectation. Tomorrow is going to present a fresh start. A better approach and a wiser choice. The mistakes, the misteps, the misunderstandings of today were meant to clarify certain issues and lead us into the paths of righteousness. They are not meant to be repeated and even if we repeat them, we should by now have a sensitivity to notice the error quicker than before. In other words we
