PRACTICING HIS PRESENCE

PRACTICING HIS PRESENCE... "The key to friendship with God is not changing what you do, but changing YOUR ATTITUDE about what you do. Worship is not an event to attend, but a perpetual attitude. Because God is with you all the time no place is any closer to God than THE PLACE WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW." (Rick Warren) “one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” Ephesians 4:6 NIV ‪#‎livelifeonpurpose‬ ‪#‎practiceHispresence

'Mutual Love and Respect': Excerpt from my Exegetical Paper on Ephesians 5:21-33

This text, Ephesians 5, asserts that women are to show Godly surrender by submitting to the leadership of their husbands while men demonstrate Godly surrender by sacrificing their life for their wife and family just as Christ sacrificed His life for the church. A marriage founded on biblical principles must be about ‘give and give’ and not ‘give and take’ if the marriage is going to work. Women submit; men sacrifice; each demonstrating a selfless act of mutual love and respect. Children are also mentioned in Ephesians. Children are a great gift to marriage and often what children see their parents do, they will do. Parents are often a child’s greatest role model and the parent’s behavior heavily influences that child’s behavior. If that parent is following and obeying God, that child will learn obedience through them. A husband is commanded to provide unconditional love to his wife and in return or in addition to this, a wife is commanded and expected to respect her husband....

HIStory

The 'Journey to the Well' women's fellowship was awesome this morning. My cousin, Pastor Patricia Brown, truly kept it real. If we are going to bring healing to others, we should not be afraid to reveal our scars. Many of us have been wounded and like humpy dumpty, have been broken. We looked for the men in our lives to put us back together again. But the only man we found to do that was Jesus. We are overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the words of our testimony. Somebody needs to hear how you OVERCAME. Ministry is not limited to the pulpit. Ministry is wherever there is a need. And there is a woman some where that needs to hear how you made your story HIStory.

Healing Is Not Impossible

Childhood wounds (parents' divorce, abuse, neglect) are some of the most difficult wounds to heal. But however difficult, healing is not impossible. The key to healing is surrendering our lives to God and forgiving those who caused us pain. Even if they never say "I'm sorry!!", you are free because you forgave in spite of that fact. And if they ever DO apologize, GIVE GOD PRAISE!! Because now, not only have you been healed, but God has healed them too. :) Colossians 3:13, " Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others" (NLT). .
