Our "heart posture" matters! Righteousness matters! It matters in all that we do, and all that we say we are! It displays our character, and our ambitions or motives. It shapes our perspectives and determines our level of compassion. In essence, it is a true testament to "working our faith" and "trusting His plan!

How can we say we are His children, if we don't strive to better ourselves daily? We will never be perfect, but that should not be the reason we settle for complacency. Each day, we should strive to be better than the day before. We should strive to grow in areas were we fall short.

This is the "heart posture" of a soldier for Christ. One that understands that by His grace we are yet saved! One that understands that, "I once was blind but now I see!" This speaks volumes to those that are lost in their sinful ways because it is not condemnation, but understanding that "I once was lost too!" This is true discipleship.... this is our duty as believers to plant the seed, and God will do the rest!

We have entered into a new season, a new year, and hopefully with a renewed mind. The things of the old will not work in this new season. For there is a shift that is taking place, and we must adhere to the Holy Spirit's unctioning. We cannot afford to ignore, overlook, or disregard His voice. We must hearken unto His Holy Word, and embrace His Holy Will. If not, the burden of disobedience will be too great and our reward will be that which we have sown.

Yet, there is hope! Hope and confidence that living for Jesus yields abundance in every aspect of our lives. For every day is a blessing, and every opportunity we are given should prompt us to walk the path He has laid before us.

God has brought us all a mighty long way! He has blessed us despite of our sinful ways. He has kept us even when we disobeyed. Oh! what a Mighty God we serve! And for that we must learn to step aside, to move out of our own way, and Let God have His way in our lives! For anything else will surely be detrimental to our physical, spiritual, and mental health! So, join me as I let go of every dead weight that hindered me in 2025 so that I can soar in 2026!!

Happy New Year! New you! New Year! Same God! Let Him have his way!

We serve a Mighty God! His goodness can't be compared to anyone we know because there is none like Him! He is faithful! His grace is and favor is unmerited and His blessings are unlimited! Even when we feel all alone, He is with us! And when we experience life's billowing waves, He is there to carry us! No matter what we face, God promised that He would be with us even until the end of time!

Society has embraced the worldly norms and tried to replace Biblical truths! What is considered right is now wrong, and what is wrong is now considered right! And those that are standing on the promises of God and making His word their weapon, are now faced with unusual warfare. This warfare is so intense that it seems as if the pressure is too much to overcome. Yet, the reality of it is, the intense warfare is a direct indication that you are on the right path. It is an indication that you are following God's lead! Don't be discouraged because the heat has turned up, just know that it is preparing you for your next level of greatness and it won't break you! The enemy is just mad because you are standing firm on your faith! He wants you to stop proclaiming the goodness of God! He wants you to live any kind of way! He wants you to stop being a beacon of light and lead people astray! But you aren't built like that! You are about Kingdom Business and Kingdom Building! So let him increase the intensity because it won't work: God is still in control!

WE are the "Church" and we have been commissioned to "Be the example" in a world that is suffering from spiritual deprivation, worldly self-gratification, and the overall sinful nature of society. But as believers, we can let our lights shine, we can strive daily to live like Jesus, and we can share our faith with all that will listen. We too have needed his life saving power to turn our life around. So, why not share the good news of what JESUS can do with others! For God wants to see all his children prosper ... so let the "Church" say "Amen"!

Yield not to temptation, but hold fast to God's unchanging hand! Temptation is sent to destroy your peace, rob your joy, and to disrupt your faith. It presents itself as gold but quickly turns into to dust. It appeals to the eye yet steals from your life. Stand on God's word, resist the enemy and he will flee, and pray for strength to ignore the tempting urges. For while it may feel good and look good on the surface, it won't last long and leaves unwarranted pain wherever it is welcomed.

Greed and Envy is a tactic of the enemy to catch us off guard. Although these two tactics are not the only ones, we must know that God has given us the power to keep them at bay. But we must stand on His promises, stay in faith, walk in obedience, and deny ourselves. We will never be perfect, but God can perfect those things that concerns us, that come to kill, steal, and destroy us according to John 10:10. Will you let God lead? Will you trust God's plan? Let God show you the way because the enemy will never defeat the God we serve!
