We must speak life into every situation in our life.
THE TONGUE
Your words, your dreams, and your thoughts have power to create
conditions in your life.
What you speak about, you can bring about.
If you keep saying you can't stand your job, you might lose your job.
If you keep saying you can't stand your body, your body can become
sick.
If you keep saying you can't stand your car, your car could be stolen
or
just stop operating.
If you keep saying you're broke, guess what? You'll always be broke.
If you keep saying you can't trust a man or trust a woman, you will
always find someone in your life to hurt and betray you.
If you keep saying you can't find a job, you will remain unemployed.
If you keep saying you can't find someone to love you or believe in
you,
your very thought will attract more experiences to confirm your
beliefs.
If you keep talking about a divorce or break up in a relationship, then
you might end up with it.
Turn your thoughts and conversations around to be more positive and
power packed with faith, hope, love and action.
Don't be afraid to believe that you can have what you want and deserve.
Watch your Thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your Habits, they become character.
Watch your Character, for it becomes your Destiny
The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than
you settle for.
Thought I would share this with you. In the search for me, I discovered
truth. In search for truth, I discovered love. In the search for love,
I discovered Jesus. And in Jesus, I have found everything.
  "PRAISE THE LORD IN THE HIGHEST OF PRAISE; HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH!!!!!!" Happy Tuesday friends, I tell ya, I'm so full of expectency from the Lord. God is in the blessing business and He is about to do something we have never seen before or even could imagine He'd do. God is opening up the heavens and pouring out blessings so big that it is just plan ole ridiculous. Last night my Pastor ministered on TCT Live thats the Christian channel on channel 18 here in Detroit and a large portion of our church showed up. We truly had a time in the Lord. There were some awesome guest there as well, I was so glad to see Frank Turner who used to be a newscaster for channel 7, he talked about his long time drug addiction and how the Lord saved him healed his body and now has him in ministry with his own christian program. Garth and Tina Coonce are just a jewel to meet. Bro. Eddie, and Sis. Cathy Williams were there singing and bringing the house down and Sis. Vickie Winans came in to surprise everyone. My Pastor brought forth the word speaking on seedtime and harvest. He spoke on the number 7 signifies the year of completion and the number 8 signifies the year of new beginnngs. "Clean the dust off your visions and dreams, God is going to bring them to pass. Is there anything too hard for God? If God said it, it's got to come to pass." "That in which I have promised shall no longer be prolonged." My word shall NOT be prolonged any more." I'm shouting with great expectency, I feel it in deep down in my belly God is about to do it, bring forth my blessings. Hallelujah!!!!
OPTICAL ILLUSIONS! “And the serpent said unto the woman, ‘Ye shall not surely die.” Genesis 3:4 Definition: Illusion- a misleading image presented to the vision. Something that deceives or misleads intellectually. Have you ever looked at a picture that was an optical illusion? You may have looked at it and thought you saw one picture, and then looked again and found that you saw something else. You may have looked and thought you saw some crooked lines, but after looking at each one individually, you found that they were all straight. Well in Eve’s case she was given an illusion by the enemy…he presented to her a misleading image, in which she began to visualize, and believe to be true. God had given specific instructions that they, Adam and Eve, were not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. He had told them that in the day they ate of it, they would surely die. At that time, they could surely see the danger in eating of the tree. They could see the real picture and the real consequences if they were to disobey. So here comes the serpent, with a different visual of the picture. His picture showed God as not wanting Adam and Eve to eat of the tree, because they would become like gods, knowing good and evil. Immediately Eve began to ‘see’ the tree as good (v.6), it looked good for food, pleasant to the eyes, and as a tree to be desired to make one wise; it was an optical illusion…and so she took the fruit and ate it! Be careful! Don’t be deceived by the illusion of the enemy. He distorts pictures and makes the bad look good and the good look bad. Someone could clearly be doing something that is the work of the enemy, and he can make you feel so successful at it, that you are sure it is good. He can make a person believe and ‘see’ the goodness in going to the casino to gamble, because if they win they can pay tithes. He can make a person ’see’ that selling drugs is alright because it is helping to pay the bills. He can make a person ’see’ that it is alright to steal time from work to do church business, after all it is for God, right? He can make a person believe that it is alright to lie, because it would cause a problem to tell the truth. There are so many illusions that the enemy tries to place before us, and we must be careful to ‘see’ with our spiritual eyes, that we be not deceived, but that we see the true picture that God is showing us in His Word. If the picture you are visualizing does not line up with the Word of God, it is an illusion. And His Word does not change, if He says it is sin, then you had better believe that it is sin. Can you recognize something in your life that has been an illusion? Something in your life that you know is not right, but you have allowed yourself to be deceived? Are you living with someone and you are not married? Are you seeing someone who is already married to someone else? Are you hurting someone else, in order to make yourself look good at work? Get rid of the illusions, God makes us see clearly; one picture, not two. “For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed…but blessed are your eyes for they see, and your eats for they hear;” Matt. 13:15a,16
 The Purpose of the Desert
"Therefore I am now going to allure her, I will lead her into the
desert and
speak tenderly to her - Hosea 2:14".
Breakfast With God

Good Morning Saints!
If you have an important message to convey to someone, what is the best
means of getting the message through? Have you ever tried to talk with
someone who was so busy you could not get him to hear you? Distractions
prevent us from giving our undivided attention to the messenger. So
too, God has His way of taking us aside to get our undivided attention.
For Paul, it was Arabia for three years, for Moses, it was 40 years in
the desert, for Joseph, it was 13 years in Egypt, for David, it was many
years of fleeing from King Saul.
God knows the stubborn human heart. He knows that if He is to
accomplish His deepest work, He must take us into the desert in order to give us the
privilage to be used in His kingdom. In the desert God changes us and
removes things that hinder us. He forces us to draw deep upon His
grace. The desert is only a season in our life. When He has accomplished what He
wants in our lives in the desert, He will bring us out. He has given us a
mission to fulfill that can only be fulfilled after we have spent adequate time
in preparation in the desert.
Fear not the desert, for it is here you will hear God's voice like
never before. It is here you become His bride. It is here you will have the
idols of your life removed. It is here you begin to experience the reality of
a living God like never before. Someone once said, "God uses enlarged
trials to produce enlarged saints so He can put them in enlarged places!"
"He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because He
delighted in me (2 Samuel 22:20).
Prayer with me this morning!
Dear Lord, As I began a new "work week", I first want to cast my eyes
upon You, most beautiful and precious savior. Without you, my world is dark
and lonely. With You, the sun shines brighter and my cares are lighter. I
pray that You will help me be productive this week; to accomplish much and
be an efficient worker. I pray that my work will bless You. I pray that You
will direct my every thought and action along the way. May I share Your love
this week and touch lives and souls for Your kingdom, starting first in my
home, then in the workplace and into the community, creating a ripple that
will travel throughout the world. May You receive glory and honor in Jesus'
name.
AMEN!
READ THIS!
The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited
island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him.
Every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.
Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood
to protect himself from the elements, and to store his few possessions.
One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little
hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst had
happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief,
grief,and anger. He cried out, "God! How could you do this to me?
Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship approaching
the island! It had come to rescue him! "How did you know I was here?" asked
the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.
The Moral of This Story:
It's easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldn't
lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of
our pain and suffering. Remember that the next time your little hut
seems to be burning to the ground. It just may be a smoke signal that summons
the Grace of God.
P.S. You may want to consider passing this on, because you never
know who feels as if their hut is on fire today.
JUST FOR TODAY, DECIDE… “And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, ‘This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.” Isaiah 30:21 Just for today seek God for every step that you take. Just for today decide that every step you take will be in agreement with His Word. Just for today, decide that you will only do those things that will glorify God. Just for today, decide that you will only respond to those things, and those people that God leads you to respond to. Just for today, decide to turn away from everything that is in disagreement with His Word. Just for today, decide that you will not allow yourself to blend in with naysayers and evil talkers. Just for today, decide to keep your mind on God’s Word, and your eyes in God’s Word. As you are acknowledging God’s presence in every area of your life today, deciding to please Him and only Him, you will find that He is directing your every step; opening doors that need to be opened and closing doors that need to be closed…He will give you divine favor; divine appointments and clear vision. “In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:6 And you will hear a word behind you saying, ’This is the way, walk ye in it…” Let Him lead you and you can’t go wrongJUST FOR TODAY!
 Give em’ whatcha got! “Casting all your care upon Him; for he careth for you.” 1Peter 5:7 Tired of the heaviness? Tired of burdens and cares weighing you down? God says give Him what you’ve got and He’ll give you what He’s got! He’s ready to take your cares and all of your burdens. He’s ready to remove your pain and lift the sorrow; He is ready to take your depression and grab hold of your discouragement. God is ready to take it all and give you what He’s got! The Lord is offering us some great things, in place of what we give Him! “Peace I leave with you: My peace I give unto you” John 14:27 “Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matt 11:28 “Behold I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” Luke 10:19 “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish…” John 10:28 Peace, rest, power, and eternal life! All we have to do is give up our stuff and take on God’s stuff. Are you saying we can give up those things that keep us down and discouraged, upset and confused, frustrated and unfruitful; and we can receive blessings and freedom, deliverance and healing? That’s it!!! There is, available to you, beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness….If we give God what we have, He will give us what He’s got! Wanna trade with God? I don’t know about you, but I tell the Lord, ‘I’ll be happy to trade with you!” GIVE EM’ WHATCHA GOT!
 DON’T BE SCARED! “I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me all around.” Psalm 3:6 NKJV The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” Psalm 27:1 Haters, people who don’t want to see you move forward; people who try to hinder your progress; people who talk about you and plot against you! Who cares? Don’t look at the people, look at the Lord! DON’T BE SCARED! Trouble all around you, nowhere to turn? Remember, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in the time of trouble.” Psalm 46:1 Whatever you’ve been facing, or whatever you are about to face, don’t let people move you, and don’t let the devil fool you…God is able and “if God be for you, who can be against you?” Stop fearing people and stop fearing situations. I’ve heard that fear is when False Evidence Appears Real! My God says He “..hath not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7DON’T BE SCARED! It may look bad, but “A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.” Psalm 91:7 NKJV Don’t be fooled by appearances; Don’t allow fear to overtake you..fear is the absence of faith, and “…without faith it is impossible to please Him…” Hebrews 11:6aCONFESS: “As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me… When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.” Psalm 55:16, 56:9DON’T BE SCARED!
