The Bible is no ordinary book. It is a collection of books, letters and texts written under divine inspiration. These stories are Gods words to us. Through these texts God reveals who He is, who we are to Him and why we are all here. It explains things about prayer, our true nature as spiritual beings and tells the stories of many people from all different walks of life. While reading the Bible, it can speak to you. It can speak to your life, your current situation and t

Idolatry is defined as the extreme love, adoration or reverence of someone or something. The bible is very clear that, we should have no other gods before Him. It is actually one of the ten commandments. He created us for a purpose and He doesn't demand but He deserves for us to show Him reverence. He is worthy of all of our praise and worship. When I think of idolatry I often think of bowing down and saying prayers to a statue. Like in the story of Moses. When Moses ca

There are times when I don't feel as close to the Lord. Despite praying and reading His word. Sometimes I just feel like I am not doing enough, like their is something else I could or should be doing. I always want to do more for the Lord and I always want more of Him. But in those times He seems so far away. We can all be happy and contented when we feel close to the Lord. When he is speaking directly to us and working things out in our lives. In the midst of being ble

The journey of this past year has been amazing. I have been able to share my testimony with all kinds of people. Which is a testimony within itself because most of my life I have struggled with anxiety. It was hard enough for me to talk to people that I knew, let alone people that I did not know. So now, being able to travel and share my most personal experiences, has changed who I always thought I was. I always felt alone and I never thought I had anything worth sharing.

I was content in the way I was serving the Lord. Following all the rules and guidelines of my church. I paid my tithes. I was an active member of my church. By all accounts I was a good person. But deep down inside I was unsure of where I stood with the Lord. During this time I started watching a show on YouTube called Precious Testimonies. And this show changed my whole life. This is a show where people of all walks of life share their testimonies about God. I watche

A new life is available for each and everyone of us in Christ. Some may ask, what does that really mean? It means exactly what it says. A new life, a life totally different from the one you were born into. A life full of new motivation and purpose. The life that He has planned for you is better than anything that you can plan for yourself. You see we are all sinners. We are all born into bodies of flesh and as we live, we seek to satisfy our physical wants and needs. W

God is the creator of our life, this world and everything around us. He is everything and endless in His abilities. He is all powerful, omniscient and omnipresent. He is the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. We says these things and have heard this our whole lives but what does it really mean? I don't think that 'we' could ever really know or even understand who God really is. God is big, bigger than our minds can imagine. As human bein

Friends with benefits is typically a term that is used to describe friends that have sex without an emotional involvement. This term encourages casual sex. Relationships that start like this usual end with the couple falling in love or continues until someone gets their heart broken. But to put it plainly this is fornication, it can be adultery or even infidelity. But no matter how you spin it, it is a sin. There is nothing casual about sex. God never intended for us to s

To be intentional means to move or act in a deliberate manner. To do something on purpose. To make a conscious decision towards an intended goal. It means that the desired outcome was not achieved by accident, coincidence or chance. Being intentional requires that you knowingly consider the response to your actions. God is intentional. He is deliberate in His every action. And every time He responds to us it is for a designed purpose. With an expected and known reactio

Prayer is defined as an earnest hope or wish. It is also a request for help or an expression of thanks addressed to God. But to put it simply prayer is our communication with God. Of course He already knows everything but it is important for us to make an effort to talk to Him. It gives us the chance to acknowledge Him for who He is. To come to Him in reverence and with respect as our...everything. If God is really important to you, you will make the time to talk to Him.

The mind is a very powerful thing. Not only does the mind control what we think. It also controls what we do. Everything we do first starts off as a single thought. Our thoughts and mindset are very important to everything we accomplish and everything that we are in life. We all have thoughts that run through our minds. I going to ask you to pay good attention to the thoughts that occupy your mind during day. Our thoughts set the base for the type of person that we are.

All my life I have always looked to the sky, up above when talking about God. I think we all do it. We look to a God that is outside, away from us. In doing that we mentally detached ourselves from God. We may not do it on purpose but it sure does make it easier to live our lives as we see fit. When we think of a God that is watching us from a far. Maybe even over our shoulder, that disappears when do things that He does not like. What I have learned on this journey is

Growing up, I was always fascinated by the supernatural. I couldn't get enough of ghost stories and psychic encounters. I would buy all kinds of books and watch every TV show. I have even wondered how I could get a reading with one of the famous psychics that I had read so much about. And there was even a time or two when I had my palm read or the tea leaf thing but each of those experiences were very underwhelming. This may be hard to understand but I would watch these s

I am sure that none of us could ever imagine saying no to the Lord. But the truth is that we say no everyday. We say no when we live our lives as we see fit. We say no when we continue to live in our sin. And we say no when don't acknowledge Him daily. I think the Lord deserves more 'yeses' from all of us. He is better to us than any of us deserve. If we just say, yes Lord. Our lives would be better for it. He has plans for our lives. Plans for us to prosper and not

There is a song that I love. I am sure that you all are familiar with it. It is called, Silver and Gold by Kirk Franklin. In this song, the singer talks about how she'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold. That by itself touches my soul because I feel the same way. There is nothing more precious to me than my relationship with God. But recently, as I listen to this song, there is a different part that speaks to me just a little louder than it did before. The singer s

If you follow me on Facebook, you may have seen my recent 'chapter posts'. These are color coded posts with information from my book., My Extraordinary Walk. I made these to let you know what my book is about without giving you all the juicy details. I have only spoken publicly about one chapter. Which is chapter number 5, Nothing But The Blood, where I detail the process of how I received His Holy Spirit. There are 19 small, easy to read chapters in book, so there is a

You ever hear a song and be like, 'it's alright', then you listen to the words and you fall love with it. This has happened to me on more than one occasion. But there is this one song that really caught me off guard. It's a gospel song and I find myself singing my heart out every time I listen to it. It really speaks to my heart and my experience with the Lord. I feel like it expresses my love for Him and all He has done for me. First I want to says that I do not own any

I am going to apologize ahead of time, if this comes across the wrong way. This is a subject that has caused me some hurt as I began my journey. Now I really believe that I am over this, that I've grown from this experience and have begun to heal. But this is something that I still would like to talk about. I am sure that you have heard people say that, when you change your life for the Lord, that you are going to lose some friends. I have heard many pastors say this over
