When you make a call, you are reaching out to someone. In most cases that person is not within your reach or eye sight. Making a call is our way of keeping in contact, It can also make the physical distance between two people seem to disappear. And when that person answers the call you can communicate with them as if they are right there in the room. Making a call is a way to connect with those near and far. But to close the gap of distance, space and separation you have to r

From the beginning, the Israelites and God have always had a relationship. Beginning with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, when others didn't the acknowledged God, the Israelites did. They listened for His voice. They obeyed His words and because of this they became special to God. They were his people and He was their God. There were many times when the Israelites were disobedient but they always remembered to recognize and call out to God. And despite their stubbornness, God never

God works with each of us individually and in different ways. He speaks clearly to some of us, others He gives dreams and some He leads with motivating thoughts and encouragement. He will speak to you exactly in the manner that you need. He knows what will get your attention. He knows exactly what will motivate you. And what will inspire action from you. But in the end it is still up to us, if we will listen, if we will do the work needed or if we will be obedient to the tas

The word cast has several meanings but for today's blog I am focusing on the verb. To throw something forcibly away from ones self. Like a fisherman that casts a net out into the water. He doesn't just drop the net over the side of his boat. He casts it out, wide, open and forcefully, so that it doesn't get tangled. Far from himself so that he can increase the area he is covering and increase the bounty that he is searching for. Just like the fisherman who casts his net out i

The word 'until' means up to a point in time, up to the event mentioned or up to you achieve your goal. To do something until means that you will not give up. That you will not stop before you get to the expected result. That you will not let anything interfere with you completing your task. That nothing short of your goal will due. Think about this, when you misplace your cell phone, how long do you search for it? Until you find it. When you are looking for a job, when do yo

There is a war going on. It is all around each and every one of us. It affects our daily lives. It is a war of good vs evil, right vs wrong, God vs the enemy but many of us can't see it. There are forces around us that influence our thoughts and feelings which in turn affect our actions. Has your mood ever changed upon entering a room? or being around a specific person? Have you ever been somewhere and just felt something wasn't right? Have you ever changed your mind about so

I'd like to start today by saying, that I see everything in this world as black or white, good or evil, right or wrong, it's either in the Bible or it is not. It is how I simplify my life. It decreases confusion and keeps me out of the many 'grey' areas of life. And when I feel unsure, I take it to God and wait. When it comes to things of the spirit there are three types of people. There are those of us who don't walk in the spirit at all. They live under their own understand

The word resurrection is synonymous with revival, reappearance, rebirth, restoration, resuscitation, revitalization. It is a word that makes you think about new life and renewal. It is defined as the act of resurrecting or being resurrected. The biblical definition is a little simpler, it is to rise from the dead. This is word that should be refreshing and encouraging to all Christians. It should bring feelings of joy, peace, hope and satisfaction. This is a word that is con

I listen to a lot of worship music. If I could have it my way, it would be the the only music I'd listen too. But I am not always in control of the music that is playing around me. I love how it connects me back to personal experiences. Experiences that I've had during my walk with the Lord. It's also comforting to know that someone else has had the same experiences and knows exactly how I feel. It's amazing how I could've listened to a song, a hundred times before but on th

Scripture is defined as the scared writings of Christianity contained in the Bible. Scripture teaches us about God, about Jesus and about who we really are. It contains life lessons and examples of faith, trust and tells us what to believe in. It is a guide that shows us how to live. And tells us the testimonies of believers who have taken this walk long before us. Simply put scripture is the living and active word of God. When we take scripture and we combine it with prayer,

What does it mean to be glorified? The word glorified means to appear more elevated or special, to be made glorious. To be worthy of recognition, admiration or fame. When it comes to God, there is nothing and no one that compares to Him. He is the Creator, the reason for it all and He deserves to be glorified above everything else. As a believer and follower of God's word, my hope is to live a life that communicates my connection to Him. In everything I do, I want to represen

The word 'bold' is used to describe someone that takes risks. Someone that is strong, confident and courageous. It can also be used to explain the appearance of a person that has these qualities. A bold person is someone who doesn't care to fit in with the crowd. Someone who is brave enough to stand confidently in their own beliefs even if it means that they will be standing alone. The world needs more people like this. Too often we see that people would rather blend in than

I know that there are may people who believe that they are above reproach. Maybe they've reached a certain status or received a title that makes them believe that no one below them can correct them or tell them what to do. Or maybe they've achieved goals and degrees that make them believe that they know better than most because of the knowledge they've received. Or maybe it's none of the above, some people just believe that they are correct and have everything figured out. I

I had an awesome thought the other day. Did you know that you were chosen by God? I believe we all know this but to really embrace the fact that He chose you. If you are a believer in Christ, God chose you stand out amongst the unbelievers. Before you were even born you were already a part of His plan. That is so deep. Every believer is a part of God's plan. The fact that He loves us that much is amazing. We all need to be glad just to be included in that number. God is so go

Be thankful for your family

A Father is defined as a male parent of a child. A man who has impregnated a woman. Or in some cases the man of the house who married a woman with a child. A father's role is to enforce rules. to provide for and to protect his family. To provide stability to the family unit. To teach his girls how a man should treat them and to show his boys how they should treat a woman. A father is important. His contribution to the family is not just financial. It is emotionally, p

Life is full of decisions. Most decisions we make consciously, some unconsciously and there are many things that we do automatically out of habit. Everything that we do , say or think is the result of a decision we've made. We are in full control of our actions. We decide to do or not to do, the choice is ours. And ultimately we are responsible for each one. For me the end result of life is Heaven or Hell, which is a decision the we make for ourselves. Each decision we mak

There is a verse in Psalms that I want to discuss today. It is from Psalms 23, which is a very popular chapter and I believe that it is familiar to all of us. What stands out to me today is the verse that talks about 'the valley of the shadow of death'. If you think like me this may sound like a terrifying and scary place. I imagine darkness, shadows, fear and impending death all around. I believe that this psalm is referring to the world we live in. There is a lot of da

To many manifesting your miracles sounds hard. It may even sound impossible to some, but it is not. All you need to do is to have faith and believe. Not just believing for a moment. Not kind of believing, wanting to believe or only believing if. You have to believe wholeheartedly, without a shadow of doubt. Some people believe that the God of the Bible is somehow different than the God we serve today. That the things He did in biblical times are no longer happening toda

When I think about life, I think about the daily routine of the things we do. Like chores, working, eating, sleeping. I also think about all the relationships that we maintain from our family members, our friends, co-workers to the random people we interact with as we go on about our day. And I think about all the decision making we do from the time we wake up to the time we close our eyes to rest. We cannot make a move without making some sort of decision. Life can be ov
