Rejoicing➕

Good morning y’all, 

I really need to invest in a laptop or maybe it’s the new version of WordPress that is making things difficult for me, I’m really not that into technology but it has been harder for me to grammar check everything and with all this blocks that were added to WordPress just makes me not want to write 😞 but I’m gonna be good and write at least two blog post this week because, we had snow so I got time to write and not be at work.  But I have not forgotten about the called with a purpose series I just took a break from that as I been a lot busy and I like to get in deep in the word and do my research, I do not like writing just to post something;  my post need to be meaningful or bring something to your lives. It can either be words of encouragement, exhortation or just plain give you a word that God has put in my heart. 

Today I just want to catch up with you guys and let you know what our youth ministry has been up to. Our youth ministry has had a few activities in this past weeks, we had from a revival to game night and God has worked in those activities. But I seen youth being called to their ministry ; to youth truly becoming worshippers and youth being helpfull to the ministry. God is raising up youth that want to work in the ministry either being on the altar or at the bottom, no one has to be out to the side. I’m seeing youth that go into the deepness of God’s presence during church service as well youth services.

“Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.”
‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭

This Saturday game night featured from bible questions, Speak out, heads up, to musical chairs.What are you doing inside the church? Your ministry? Outside? Your community? I want to know what y’all have been up to. I was finally able to upload the video thanks to my friend AMANDA👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻-girl you rock 💕💕- this post was from last week I forgot to schedule it to publish automatically at a certain day 😂😂

Revelation➕⚔️

Good Afternoon 

I really do not know if I should write about this but the Holy Spirit is leading me so I will be obedient; and tell you about the experience I had this morning. I do not know if this word is for one of you or this word is for myself or my church in general,  but I hope that this word gives you the confirmation that you need if it’s for you. 

God speaks in so many ways and for me this morning he spoke to me through dream that felt more like a vision and he gave me the name of the book, chapter and verse for a message. I’m waiting for confirmation of course but something inside of me it’s telling me to write about it and share it with you guys. I’m not that person who is spiritually all the time and God rarely uses me in this area but when it’s from God; whatever he shows me comes true. 

“And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!””
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭14:13‬ ‭

There are many who don’t believe that God can use you this way. I remember I wrote a post about limiting the Holy Spirit- No limit to the Holy Spirit– you can find it in the archives; however God can you use in ways you have never imagined if you allow yourself to be used but remember that there is always a price to pay to be used that way. The men and women of God paid  the price to be used in such a way but this generation in that area is lacking. 

 This morning  God spoke to me in the book of Revelations  chapter 14; but the specific verse that he gave me was verse 13. I’m my dream I’m at church and the pastor is preaching but I’m hearing this sentence being said repeatedly in my ear Revelations 14:13. I woke up around 7 am for work but I was let known our offices were closed due to the snow storm that came through yesterday in NC. So I went back to sleep and God gave me this dream, and I kept hearing just that word so I grabbed my bible and started to read chapter 14 of revelations and it talks about the 144,000, message of the three angels and the harvest of the earth.

The first two messages pretty much speaks about the 144,000 that were not contaminated through the false allegations that the beast is Christ and the judgement that will come upon the earth.  We are in the time where false doctrines are raising up and poeple are being lead astray from the true path of God. What are we doing in not letting that happen. Are we doing what has been commanded of us? Or are we letting opportunities as well time pass by without doing what has been demanded that we do.  Maybe you are thinking that you have no word to say or that your insignificant to other big preachers, leaders, worshippers or just general church members, if God has called you is with a purpose. You are not meant to be what they are and I have learned that the hard way. Each one of us have a different ministry but that does not make us little. Stop seeing yourself as others see you but start seeing yourself as God sees you, something precious and something powerful in his eyes. 

P.s. I hope that this message if it’s for you, has spoken to you. Let’s continue to pray for the church worldwide it’s time to wake up and do what has been commanded of us. Many will be lead astray but it’s our job to prevent that from happening. Reach out to your community by praying, preaching and spreading the word that God has put in your heart. Thank you for supporting this blog, many of you have commented on my posts that God has spoken to you through them and you really don’t know how much that means to me💕 Shalom🕊

As you can see I love the snow, being sick didn’t stop me from going out and playing as also taking pictures😂🙈

We got about 15 inches of snow and it’s still snowing 🌨

Change the way you Praise and Persevere 🙌🏻

Hi! I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, today I want to bring a recap of what was preached on Sundays service which was pretty bomb. This is something that I can give testimony that it works, but only if you are willing or open. 

Then Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.”
So when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!”

Exodus 3:3-4Have you been to a place where the atmosphere is so heavy; that you feel like you’re suffocating?. At first, you start getting a really bad headache as if someone were to be smashing a hammer to your skull. It’s a terrible and painful feeling that while I’m praying sometimes its impossible for me to go deeper into the prayer because of that feeling.  The atmosphere is so heavy nowadays that sometimes it feels as we are fighting against a wall of darkness.

It’s in that moment that you got to persevere in your prayer, worship or trial. It’s in that moment when the breakthrough might happen or you have gone a step higher then before. I been dealing with this type of issue in my prayer and so so in my worship ; sometimes it has become difficult for me to pray. There are moment when I feel like I can’t deal anymore and I probably only just say “Heavenly Father” and three to four sentences and stop. But there are moments that instead of backing away I persevere in that prayer and there’s a breakthrough moment in it; where I can just feel God’s presence.

A few months ago I was called by God to the pastoral ministry and in the youth revival service about three Sunday’s ago; it was confirmed. I am not going to lie and say that I’m not fearful of the calling that has been given to me of course I am, being a pastor is such a huge step but most of all a huge responsibility that God gives you. You are been called and anointed to bring people into God’s path but also be an example of Christ and his love for us.

“No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” 1. Corinthians 10:13

This verse reminds me that God will help in whatever situation that might rise up; there’s so much incredulity outside and even within the Christian faith. When I was called to be the youth leader so many obstacles rose up, but I am so grateful for them because I was able to grow and mature not only personally but also spiritually. Becoming a pastor would bring those obstacles or trials 2x harder then before but I know God has my back and he will not let me go.

Your worship is so fundamental that it disrupts and even confuses the plans or attacks of the enemy. Worship in the midst of trials and in the middle of blessings; worship when you don’t feel like it and when you feel like doing it. Combine your worship and prayer together and you have a nuclear bomb that will overpower the enemy and it’s attacks. Your worship as your prayer makes God move and show you the unexpected.
