This week has been trying. I love God, but I’m going through. I feel like I’m failing His tests. They’re really simple tests, but I’m struggling w/ my flesh; I’m struggling w/ my emotions. I was really rude w/a customer on Friday, not controlling my irritation w/ him. I’ve been feeling out of it, teaching Sunday school. Also, I feel like I’ve become puffed up. I don’t want that. I want to get back on track for the Lord.
During this trying time, w/ the Lord’s help, maybe I’ll be able to draw closer to Him. I know that I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13). Pray for me as I will pray for whomever reads this. I know that I will get through as the Lord has let us know that we’re more than conquerors (Romans 8:37). I will conquer this, & whatever you are going through, as long as you have Jesus, you will conquer your issue as well. God bless.

The Devil is Not Your Friend
John 8:44 KJVS
[44] Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
The devil is not your friend. A liar & a murderer can never be your friend! He is like a lion, seeking to devour whomever he can (1 peter 5:8). Don’t let him devour you. It’s easier said than done, but we have our weapons to fight him. Ephesians 6:10-17 tells us about the full armor of God. Wear it, embrace it, use it!. Here’s praying for a glorious day for all of you!

The Day After...
Psalm 23:1-6 KJVS
[1] The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. [2] He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. [3] He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. [4] Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. [5] Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. [6] Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Even though I had a rough day yesterday, I know that my Lord is able to keep me. I made amends & reconciled w/ a loved one. I also recognized that the devil is trying to pull me down. I say no! The Lord is my Shepherd, not the devil. The Lord is Whom I will follow. All of the days of my life, I will dedicate to Him, even if they are trying. May this Word bring a blessing to someone. God Bless, my brothers & sisters in Christ,
P.S. Keep your heads up. We will not bow down to Satan!!!

There is No Such Thing As A Smooth Sailing
The devil is roaring his ugly head. I can’t say that it shouldn’t have been expected. When things get great, when the Holy Spirit comes into the church strengthening his people, the devil will come after you. the devil doesn’t want what he has already; he wants what he can’t have. When we say yes to Jesus, the devil gets angry.
For the past few weeks, the Lord has been in the Church. He has been strengthening us. I can literally feel His presence. While this has been happening, He has been helping me on the job, making it easier. It’s been an exciting time for us. The devil wasn’t going to take it lying down.
For the first time in awhile, I began getting a little down. Yesterday, i was battling w/ my irritation towards someone in the church (It’s me-not her). Today, i was late to work because of 2 wrecks. I was irritated. I should have immediately prayed, but I got angry. I later realized my mistake, repented & prayed. Then, my bladder was full during the 2nd wreck. It was awful. I, thankfully, got to a restroom in time. Ultimately, I ended up late. I got to work with a non pleasant attitude. I talk time was significantly up. My stats wee awful. My tone was not pleasant. It was not the way I wanted to start my April off.
Thankfully, the Lord showed me that this is to be expected. He allowed me to know that my blessing Is near. The devil doesn’t want this for me. He wants to steal it from me. The Lord also let me know that it’s about how we react to the situation. Do we try to handle it or do we take It to God? If you answered the latter, you would be right. We have to give it to God.
Despite this manic Monday, I’m still blessed. The Lord is still w/ me. The devil has lost the war. I’m not worried about the devil. He will meet his doom in a few. I want to please my Lord. It’s not about me, but about He!!!
P.S. Brothers & Sisters, keep pressing your way In the Lord. Don’t let the devil scare you into missing you blessing or from pleasing God.

The Holy Spirit Is Moving
Church has been so good lately! I can’t wait until next Sunday. The Holy Spirit has been coming in, and working w/ His people. His presence has been felt. It’s such a wonder feeling. His presence is definitely welcomed & much needed.
The Holy Spirit dwells in the believers of Christ. As believers, we need to be tapping into Him. He has an important role w/ us...It’s amazing how powerful He is! He can change things for you...just let Him work in you. The Holy Spirit is here to comfort, to strengthen, & guide us. He also helps us remember His Word. We need Him everyday. So, having Him come in & strengthen and refresh us, is much needed and wanted.
Don’t quench the Holy Spirit! Let Him work in you! I guarantee He will make things a lot better for you...God Bless you all!!!

Less Complaining & More Praying
Alright, here is my rant of the day. Complaining is not going to get you anywhere. It really isn't, & airing out your grievances about the opposite sex is only going to make you look wretched to others. As a Christian (if you are one), stop complaining & start praying. That is all.✌🏻

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love," 1 John 4:18. This country is allowing fear to dictate policies that are inhumane. I understand the need to protect our country. I encourage it, but this is not protection. We are keeping people out of this country that are going through some ungodly experiences. Yes, there are some people that want to hurt us. Again, I understand this, The majority of immigrants are not desiring to harm us, but want a chance at a normal life. Muslims are not bad people. My experiences with Muslim Americans have been pleasant. The woman that took my blood was the sweetest person that I have ever met. She was just like me. The only thing that differentiated us was our religion & skin color. I work with a Muslim American. Again, no problems. How can we justify this act? If we have Jesus, we have no fear. We have no paranoia. 2 Timothy 1:7 states "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." Let us not allow fear to consume us, but let Jesus overwhelm us w/ love & peace. Be loving & peaceful to others. Show compassion! Allow the Lord to do His thing! God Bless!
