Praying for Miracles

I'm praying for miracles and breakthroughs in my life. Nothing is too great for my LORD to handle. The impossible is possible when it comes to my LORD and savior Jesus Christ. I'm praying for double open doors this year for everyone connected to the body of Christ! I pray for increase and an overflow of blessings, so that everyone in the facility of me will be blessed also. In your son JESUS name and the Holy Spirit, I pray, Amen.

A Prayer to Heaven

LORD, I continue to keep my faith on high,
knowing that favor is over my life and my household,
I trust in the LORD with all my heart,
that he is above all things and comes first in my life,
I shall have no fear or worries,
knowing that I'm already healed by his strips,
by the blood of JESUS, I have been healed, saved, renewed, redeemed, and restored,
I'm made whole by his presence and grace overseeing my life,
protecting me from evil, disease and destruction,
I thank you in advance for what you have already done,
keeping my family safe from harms way,
In your might son JESUS name I pray,

Amen

The Importance of Relationships

Many of us take our relationships with friends and family for granted. While they are still around, let them know you love them, that you are thinking about them, or reach out just to see how they are doing. Don't let things get in the way of relationships, such as money or material items. Always keep a Jesus-like character. Don't let life get you so busy that you don't have time for family and friends. We don't want to wait until they are gone, and say, "I wish I would have called them a little more".

A Message For Up Above

LORD
I'm thankful to see another day. Another opportunity to say thank you. Thank you for your son JESUS, who gave his life for our sins. Because of him I can live again. And that is the greatest news ever. With that alone, I'm thankful everyday I open my eyes. I pray for those on the other side and on the fence of acknowledging Christ as Lord over their life. I pray that you will touch every heart that reads this, that you will bless them abundantly. That they will accept JESUS over their lives. And fill their hearts with your presence, so much that it overflows into the people around them. To the heavenly father, your son JESUS Christ, and the Holy Spirit, I pray, Amen.

Practicing Patience

Having faith means having patience, and realizing that things may not happen at the time we may want it to happen. We also have to keep a positive attitude in the meantime, and refrain from being discouraged or dissapointed. I'm learning that myself; things happen in GODs time because He knows what best for us, more than we do.
CYB 4-26-2019

1 Corinthians 2:5
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Be Careful Of The Things You Say

Not only is people watching you, but they are listening to you as well. Words can be a powerful tool; GOD spoke things into existence and we are the offspring of our LORD and savior. You would be surprised of the things you say and how you speak can impact your life. It promotes good character and you power over the enemy.
CYB 4-24-2019

Ephesians 4:29
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

Turn a Negative into a Positive

Many people use their past as an excuse to why they can't get ahead in life. Things such as, not having a parent growing up, or growing up in foster homes, or growing up in a rough neighborhood. Don't let your past determine your future. Rather, use your past as fuel and drive to succeed in life. There are countless stories of famous successful people who had a hard life growing up but made it through life obstacles. You want to be able to tell your story about how the odds were against you, but it didn't stop you from reaching your goals. Then, your testimony can be a blessing to someone else who may be in the same predicament you were, inspiring them that, they can succeed too. Everyone has struggles in life even if it don't seem like it for some people. The question is, are you going to let it stop you from succeeding or not let it stop you? CYB 4-23-2019

Holidays

Holidays is all about fellowshiping with family and friends. It's about coming together to show how much we care about one another enjoying each other's company. It's also about being a blessing to others. CYB 4-22-2019

Resurrection Sunday

John 11:25-26
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Dedicate this day to the LORD, for we are thankful that Jesus died for our sins, so that we may live again!  CYB 4-21-2019

Sometimes We Fall Off Course

No matter how bad our situation may seem. We have to continue to push forward. We can use our set backs and disappointments as fuel to drive us to be better. We may need to try harder, try something different, or come at your situation from a different angle. In the end, it makes us stronger and wiser, so that we can help the next person who may be in a similar situation. CYB 4-20-2019

Fast Completed!

What a wonderful experience of fasting and praying. I'm thankful I made it to the end without feeling ill or sick. I leaned on the LORD for strength, and he made sure I made it through with any headaches or withdrawals. I understand now, when people say fasting is an opportunity to became closer to GOD or to hear from Him. Fasting forces you, or put you in a position where you need Him and depend on Him for strength and guidance. Sometimes praying alone is not enough, when we want change to happen in our life. CYB 4-18-2019

Fourth Day of Fasting

Going strong in my Fast, as this is my final day. Depending on the LORD for strength, gives you a deeper connection with him. You are able to hear the father more clearer. I make sure I continue to pray; and it's best to read scripture during the Fast as well. My church requested, since we are doing the 'Daniel Fast' to read the book of Daniel. GOD has definitely kept me strong through this Fast, as I lean on him for strength to make it through this last day. CYB 4-17-2019

Third Day of Fasting

Third day of the 'Daniel Fast', praying to GOD for direction and vision; seeking out my purpose. What is GOD's will for me on this earth? I'm seeking a closer relationship. I'm seeking his presence. I'm listening for instructions. Still holding on during the Fast with one more day to go after today.
CYB 4-16-2019

Second Day of Fasting

Today is my second day doing the 'Daniel Fast'. So far so good, must stay in prayer as much as possible. I have faith for a breakthrough, that my wife and I will be healed from all diseases, and anything that is not of GOD will be removed from our bodies.
CYB 4-15-2019

First Day of Fasting

Today makes my first day of fasting, on the 'Daniel Fast'. I went to the grocery store and got all my fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. I will be fasting for 3 days and praying. I will be praying for health restoration in my body, to remove all diseases and illnesses that are not of GOD. In some cases, not only do you have to pray, but you have to fast as well, for a breakthrough to happen in your life. The bible talks about some situations requiring fasting and prayer.

Matthew 17:20-21
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
CYB 4-14-2019 

Get Your Prayers Answered By Fasting

'The Daniel Fast' stems from the book of Daniel in bible, which represents Daniel's spiritual walk in Christ with fasting. This fasting only allows water, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, and nuts & seeds. The key is to make sure you are praying during your fast. They say, fasting without praying is starvation. CYB 4-13-2019

Daniel 1:12
Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.

In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.

I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.

Trust is conditional, meaning I trust you as long as you don't give me a reason not too.
Love is eternal, meaning I love you forever, no matter what you do.

One Way You Can Honor JESUS Everyday

Honor Jesus everyday by doing something for someone else. Be a blessing to your fellow neighbor. Give a homeless person some spare change. Buy someone a cup of coffee. Tell someone dear to your heart that you love them. Forgive someone for what they did whether they were right or wrong. Call a family member that you haven't spoke to in a while, just to see how they are doing. Do something nice for someone you know or don't know. Loving your neighbor is ranked high in the list of GOD's commandments. Let's honor JESUS by honoring our neighbor. CYB 4-8-2019

3 Reasons Why You Should Pray In The Morning

Pray everyday as soon as you wake up in morning. It don't have to be a long prayer, but try to create a habit to the point where you don't feel right if you skip a morning. The reason it's best to pray as soon as you wake up is because, one, chances are much higher that you will not get distracted doing other things and forget to pray. Two, your mind will be fresher and more receptive before the troubles of the day pollute your mind. Three, what ever the day throws your way, you will be able to handle it better after you have prayed.

Do You Get Along With Everyone In Your Family?

Do you have members in your family that you don't like or get along with it? The will of GOD is for you to love and pray for your enemies. Don't hold grudges, forgive them whether they are right or wrong. Even if they don't accept it, forgiveness is for you, not the other person, don't let them block your blessings. CYB 4-6-2019

Luke 6:27
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,

Fly Straight During Turbulence

As a Christian, you will be tested all of the time, and temptation will come at you harder. Also, there will be a lot of small, little test, that you may overlook, such as returning a shopping cart to the cart bin at the grocery store. That may seem minor, but if GOD can't trust you to do right with the small things, how is he going to trust you to do right with the big things?
CYB 4-5-2019

Not Enough Time In A Day?

Sometimes, we have to slow down, focus on what's important, then we will realize we have plenty of time in the day, and some time to spare.

Today's Scripture

Psalms 103:11
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
CYB 4-3-2019

Don't Give Up

One thing I learned is that everyone has their own story or testimony. When you are dealing with struggles in life, it's always someone out there dealing with the same issue or even worst. All you have to do is talk to the people around you, you would be surprised. Even the people who seem like they got it all together, they are just better at hiding their problems.
CYB 4-2-2019

Don't Let People Define You

Your identity is found in Christ.

Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
