Learning From Gentle Giants

“ I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Maya Angelou

 

 

      Life is a journey we are all on.  It is a “everyday Lesson.”  Take the time today to smile, take the time today to laugh.  Take the time today to love.  Take the time today to forgive. Take the time today to enjoy life and the people you share it with.  Sometimes we make mistakes and sometimes we make the wrong decisions but we must never stop loving and we must never stop forgiving. We must never stop thriving to be better.  We  should thrive to be better spouses.  We should thrive to be better parents.  We should thrive to be better friends, neighbors and co workers because we are all on the journey of life and the quality of it is based on your ability to thrive!

 

You are a major contributor to life.  What are you sharing  and what are you giving?

 

      I believe Maya Angelou tapped into her purpose and began to share that purpose with love and passion with us.  Life did not defeat her but she used her life experiences positive and negative to inspire and be a catalyst for change and she did it with style, class and dignity.  She inspired our nation and touched our souls. On  yesterday our nation and  and city lost people who were major contributors.

Truthfully, “ Aren’t we all here to do the same thing?

Grace For Life

Matthew 18:1

¹⁸ “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

 

     I was really saddened by the stories of the three young boys that lost their lives in swimming accidents over the Memorial Weekend holiday.  It just reminded me how much we need the Lord for life.  We need Him involved in our everyday activity.  We need the Lord.

    This is an evil world we live in.  I do believe that the enemy will do anything to kill, steal, and destroy.  Jesus did  not pray to take us out of the world but to keep us from the evils of this world.  The scripture today tells the believer that He or She can bind (forbid) and loose (give permission) to things that pertain to the believer.   This is not a message just for Christians, this is a message to us who believe the Word of God. 

    “ Right now I bind the spirit of tragedy, accidents, killings, shootings and every evil work of the enemy that will try to destroy, kill, or steal from my family.  I loose My angels of Protection that are assigned to me  and my family today to guide a clear path free from accidents and tragedies over my life and my family.  I thank you Lord for divine protection according to Your  word in Psalm 91.”

I just had to get personal!

    It is time out for allowing satan to run wild.  Use the authority that we have In Christ!  I believe God’s grace is sufficient. We must stand on the Word of God and bind and loose things into the atmosphere personally, professionally, and cooperatively. I believe there is a grace to help us live  and a grace to help us use Our God given authority.

Be Blessed

Prayer for Our City, Leaders, Officers, and Citizens

James 5:16
Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much

     This weekend our city suffered more senseless acts of violence.  Unfortunately, it has been happening and will continue to happen around us.  The issue I am really disturbed about is the blatant disregard for life.  Life is a gift and we all should  all appreciate the time we have here on this earth.

     Nothing will change if we don't.  People of God it is time to pray specifically for our city, leaders, officers and fellow neighbors.  The Christian community needs to intercede in prayer.  I believe the scriptures. "The effective, fervent prayer of the righteous avails much."

     I believe that we should pray for our city.  I believe we should pray for our leaders.  I believe we should pray for our officers.  I believe we should pray for our communities, neighbors, friends and families.  It is our responsibility!   No one else will do it if we don't .
     This is not the time to be in fear.  This is not the time to start acting afraid and timid.  This is the time to boldly approach the Throne of God in petition of where we work, live and play.  I refuse to let fear take over.  We cannot let fear, crime and violence win.  We must pray!
    All I know is I feel the unction to pray.  I know that prayer is our way of inviting God into our situations and life.  I know that prayer works and  changes things.  I know that we must walk by faith and nor by sight. 
     This week, lets take our morning thoughts, lunch breaks and pray all week. 
                                  
Today 

I am asking all of God's people who are at City Hall to meet me in prayer in the break room on the ground floor of City Hall  at 11:00 am today to pray and intercede for our city, our leaders, officers  and  citizens.  Let's pray together and bind the forces of evil today and loose God's Protection, provision, and deliverance over this City today!
    If you are not at City Hall , get with your co workers of faith and pray with us today at 11:00 am wherever you are. If you cannot take your break at this time, please pray at your desk or wherever you can. We are not trying to stop all work activities but to pray when you can.(Check with your supervisors if this is not your scheduled break time)  Saints it's time to pray!  

                                                  Prayer For City ( For those who can make it)
                                                  11:00 am Ground Floor Break room (City Hall) and anywhere else
