To Live in Fear or Faith

Our everyday has been stripped from us
by a pestilence that has no prejudice
The darkness is all we can seem to discuss
It has become the World’s emphasis

Fear is the first feeling we turn to
When we realized this plague is real
As if it planned this worldly coup
Then we remembered to simply kneel

God’s promise is with us He shall be
In the depth and strength of the storm
There will be pain and death we shall see
As we watch our World transform

However, there is freedom in this shadow
Even though our fate seems so deathly grim
Just as true as His promise in the rainbow
God says of you, I will rescue, protect and deliver him

The World has nowhere else to turn
Rather It is God in Heaven that we need
We are of his utmost loving concern
All He asks of us is Faith of a mustard seed

When fear attacks remember God protects
It desires for us to be completely crushed
For His Beloved, however He Never rejects
We say, “He is my refuge and my Fortress, my God, in whom I trust!”

One Love, One King All Christ

When you make God Silent!

We all know life is like a roller coaster, not the kiddie one that goes in a circle, but the one that leaves you breathless, even though you claim to be fearless! Yeah That One!! Life seems to never have a lull and is constantly in attack mode. In my life, the only times that life has been able to slow down was when I was close to Jesus. Those are the happiest times of my life and I believe most people would agree to that if they know Jesus too! The funny thing is I have allowed the busyness of life, for a second time, take my joy of the Lord away from me. I would have never thought that I could feel so far away that I did ‘t want to pursue Him. Then you believe you keep Him in the loop of what you want to do because that is the right thing to do right, like ” Hey, Jesus this is what I am going to do, so come on!” WHOA!! I can’t believe that I would speak to Him in that way. Then you look around and see that He is in everything that you have done, waiting for you to be reminded who your true first Love is.

In the battle of life, the one where we search for what life is about and what our purpose is, God will reveal it to you. Sometimes He does it in a subtle way to see if you can catch on and then other times he just throws it in your face. Why is it that I choose to live my way? I mean God is sitting around in every aspect of my life and then I realized something. You see I truly believe in compassion without compromise, you feel for those who are lost and share with them without condemning them. Then I realized I have not shown myself any compassion but I have compromised who God has created me to be. You see it more and more when you look at your actions and ask would I do this in the presence of Christ? AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Heck NO!! Then tighten up and be discipline.

If I expect my wrestlers to to commit to being champions through sacrifice and hard work then I need to show by example of how to be a Man of God, a Champion of Christ in front of them. Be different, do not go with the flow and I believe there is a lot of what I do that shows signs of this, but as far as sharing who Jesus is to me with those around me, I have dropped the ball big time!!! I feel like I have been yelling fumble for the last 3 years. Now the beauty of knowing Christ is that he holds nothing against us, so these feelings of inadequacy only come from myself and the evil one. Jesus says that he has come to give us life in abundance in John 10:10. In the moment of accepting him into my life, I was covered by his robe and welcomed into his family where He calls me Beloved Son! I know what it feels like to live as His Beloved and my hope is to choose to NOT make God silent anymore! Let him Mold me and trust that he will protect as he says he will in Psalms 91! Amen! I pray that you hear the sweet silent whisper of Christ in your life and LISTEN to it! As they saying goes, Man plans, God laughs! We do not know what is best but if we take the time to sit with him, then we will!

One Love, One King, All Christ!

God’s Promise in Psalms 91:11

Psalms 91 is my life prayer and has been for many years. Psalms 91 has every promise that God offers us! Today, I want to focus on verse 11. As you see from the image, He gives his angels Charge over us and cover and protect us in all our ways. This is a day that many of us have only seen in movies and are still not in full belief that the World and Economy as we know it are shutting down. Many of us feel the fear this brings and many of us feel alone, even as we sit at home with our families. Then on the other hand there are many of us who take it very lightly. Regardless of our attitude towards the COVID-19 virus, God’s promises always hold true.

There is nothing that changes or sways God’s word and as believers our faith in His word. I truly believe Psalms 91 and that God will watch over and protect us. It doesn’t mean we can be irresponsible and not follow protocol. However, it does mean we need to pray and trust that He will keep his promise. I lived many years battling my worth and God’s love for me but He has shown me over and over again, that I matter to Him. Whether it be a quiet thought or people He has placed in my crown life. My hope for you is you can allow God to meet you wherever you are right now in this Pandemic. The vaccination you need is in Psalms 91. Read it, trust it, walk around your house praying it and know that He will keep His promise!

Keep Safe, Keep Healthy and Follow the plans that have been put in place. If you feel sick, get help and treatment and start your prayer of Psalms 91. I am praying for you, my friends! Place your Trust in Jesus and allow God to keep His promises to you!

One Love, One King, All Christ
