“Increase”

The wise are mightier than the strong,
      and those with knowledge grow stronger and stronger.
Proverbs 24:5

He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.

Isaiah 40:29

Good Morning Beloved,

There is nothing too hard for the Lord.

When that truth is imprinted deep within our spirit, there really is nothing we will not be able to do.  We read the bible and see people doing awesome things.  Moses parting the red sea, Elisha purifying poisoned food with meal, calling down fire from heaven and instituting a drought like Elijah, judging a nation like Deborah, saving a nation like Esther… just to name a few.  These people were used by God to bring judgment, and blessing.  They were ordinary people, used by an exceptional God to do extra-ordinary works in the earth.  They were in covenant with God, but we have a better covenant in Christ Jesus … we have the promises of God, and the power of the Holy Spirit living in us everyday.  Wonder what God wants to use us to do.  We are living in exciting times, we could be the generation that will actually see the Lord.  In the midst of chaos, God wants His house to be an oasis in the desert for the sin-sick soul.  Its going to take faith like never before, some serious soul-searching and putting everything within us not of God on the altar… and leaving it there.  We’re going to be asked to do somethings that our flesh will not like.  We may have to bite our tongues and resist the urge to ‘give folks a piece of our mind’ sometimes.  We may be asked to bless someone we don’t particularly like.  We may not understand what is required of us at the time, but the reward will be great.  “Eyes have not seen, nor ears heard neither has entered into the heart of humanity the great things which God has prepared for them that love Him” (1 Corinthians 2:9 ) …

…..and that Beloved is Good News!

U Blessed!

Have A Fabulous Day and a Wonderful Weekend

From my heart to yours… To all of the Daddy’s, Grand-daddy’s, Pop-Pops, Big Brothers, Uncles, Pastors, Mentors, Coaches, Teachers, Co-Workers, Confidants … all who are instrumental in raising, providing for, protecting, disciplining, standing in the gap for, and speaking into the lives of not only our youth, but us ladies too.  For the cars you repair, and the computers you fix, the yards you maintain, and everything you do… THANK YOU!  I pray that you have a blessed Father’s Day Weekend! I want you to know that you are seen, appreciated and greatly loved!

Archer -Psalm 127:3-5 126 of 126   One way that parents can make sure that their arrows (children) hit the target of God’s plan for their lives is by instilling in them good, Biblical training in childhood. Proverbs 22:6 says Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.

Fighter -1 Timothy 6:12 90 of 126   I heard someone say that a good fight is one you win. In our fight of faith, we can take courage from knowing that God promises that we will win in the end. August 3, 2008

Watch Your Step -1 Corinthians 11:1 83 of 126   This is a cartoon for fathers. You must watch your steps and avoid Satan’s pitfalls, because your children are watching and following in those steps. June 8, 2008

Character Builder -2 Peter 1:5–7 81 of 126   Building Christian character can be a strain sometimes, but it is necessary to “keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” – 2 Peter 1:8 NIV May 25, 2008

Belt of Truth -Ephesians 6:13,14 49 of 126   When you’re armed with the truth, you can stand up to the devil when he tries to steal your blessing. September 30,
