Evidence of Faith ( You Gotta Have It)

Image
Good morning and Happy Saturday. As we come into the last teaching in the month of Evidence in May based on Acts 4:15-17, Philippians 1:12-14 and Hebrews 11:1-3 when I was a boy and stayed on 101st and St. Lawrence I went to a grammar school called Bennett that was approximately one mile from my house. Each day from 2nd grade to 4th grade, no matter if it was cold, warm or hot I had to walk to this school. I had a companion named Sharon L. who would walk with me each day to and from school. Our parents trusted that we could make this walk even though we could not defend ourselves from a predatory adult at the age that we were. As children we did not understand that there could have been dangers out there, we just wanted to go to school. But our parents had faith that there would nothing that would happen to us. As members of the Body of Christ we must be that Evidence of Faith ( You Gotta Have It). When Sharon and I began to wake up and get ready for school there was never a time

Good morning and Thankful Thursday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As we continue in the in the month of Evidence in May based on Acts 4:15-17, Philippians 1:12-14 and Hebrews 11:1-3 I often do a teaching that is not part of the theme of the month. So as I sought to do this teaching I had to look closely at some things that were going on in my life. Although I am a teacher of the Word of God it is easy for me to do some things not of God. Just as any person would things of the world seem to call me just when things in my life are going well. Both of my jobs are going well but my the mother of my two boys is not doing that well. School is going wonderfully but I at times I want to make the fast buck. My health is great but I am still attracted to someone who should not even be in my life. I know better but it seems as I have become something I should not be. I am Forsaken. In coming into this teaching I want to define the word for

Warning Label (Evidence of the Flesh)

Good morning and Turnt Up Tuesday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As we continue in the in the month of Evidence in May based on Acts 4:15-17, Philippians 1:12-14 and Hebrews 11:1-3 I work in the security business as a security officer. As a person who works in this field there is ongoing training involved. One of the training courses we take is how to be effective in customer service areas. Another course that we take is what to do when there is a building evacuation. But the most intense course that we take is the one for Warning Labels. As a security officer at times we are in parts of the building that the general public or people are not allowed to go in and there is danger there. It could be materials that the painter is using that is highly flammable. It could be an area that has high voltage to be aware of. It could be a change in the terror alert. As members of the Body of Christ there are Warning Labels that we must adhere

It's All Good

Good afternoon and Happy Saturday. As we continue in the month of Evidence in May based on Acts 4:15-17, Philippians 1:12-14 and Hebrews 11:1-3 as members of the Body of Christ there are times when we are going through some things that seem to not make any sense, especially for us. Are we not connected to God and should not his mercy take a hold in troubling times? We wonder quietly about how being a member of the Body of Christ about how God would let my home be foreclosed on when he knows I have one child graduating from high school and another child that has not reached her teens yet. We shake our head at how those who do not even acknowledge the presence of God yet seem to prosper and thrive. We see how ourselves and others are struggling with health issues and wonder why or how is this happening. Do not let these things affect for in the long run it is It's All Good. The struggles that we go through can be seen as a light for those in the world to see that Jesus is the an

Good morning and Marvelous Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As we continue in the in the month of Evidence in May based on Acts 4:15-17, Philippians 1:12-14 and Hebrews 11:1-3 for those of you who have read my teachings for a while I once mentioned about how Mike Jones, who was my best friend, and myself where playing with my Father's gun and it went off but neither of us where hurt. But in the course of life there were so many other things that happened to me that had me question whether there was a God. Like the time that I had a good paying job with excellent benefits that allowed me to basically make my own hours but I was fired because of a letter I did not receive. Or like the time that I stayed with a female for over 11 years of my life and then she threw me away like and old rag. Or when I was evicted from my apartment. In spite of all these things I am proud to let everyone know that I am Proof Positive of better

Evidence of a Mother's Love

Good afternoon and Happy Saturday. As we continue in the in the month of Evidence in May based on Acts 4:15-17, Philippians 1:12-14 and Hebrews 11:1-3 I want to celebrate a woman in the picture with me who has done a remarkable job as Mother. I can say this because I have seen firsthand what a great job that she has done not only for me but my sister as well as our children (especially mine). Although she has been a mother for a very long time she continues to spread her love onto her grandchildren as well as her great grandchildren. She is now helping my grandmother as she advances in age but does not complaing My Mother, JoAnn Wesley, is Evidence of a Mother's Love. See in in the 2000's there has been sense to want to change what motherhood is all about. There seems to be a want to be a baby mama instead of a mother of a baby. There seems to be a sense that having a child stops you life instead of believing that having that child begins your life. I am so thankful to

Our Father is Our Evidence

Good morning and Marvelous Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited As we continue in the Year of Our Father based on Isaiah 64:7-9, Luke 11:2-4 and 1st John 3:1-3, and in the month of Evidence in May based on Acts 4:15-17, Philippians 1:12-14 and Hebrews 11:1-3 I stay in the 9th ward of the City of Chicago. In Chicago every ward had a alderman and ward committee person who is responsible for the ward. Right new to my apartment in the 9th ward is a vacant house that not only seems to be a fire hazard but is used as a house by the dealers of drugs on the block. The alderman of the 9th ward just go re-elected and during the heated campaign promised that there would be a change in the 9th ward but things seem to be the same. But I am glad that I am a part of the Body of Christ because when Our Father says there will be change, there is Evidence of that. Our Father is Our Evidence. See a lot of people want to not give God the credit tha

Evidence In May ( Theme of the month)

Good morning and Happy Friday. Brand new month. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As we move into the 121st of the year 2015 and the 94th day we have already made our lives Drama Free in January based on 1st Kings 3:23-28 and Mark 12:13-17 and then Renewed in February based on Psalms 51:10-13, Isaiah 40:28-31 and Ephesians 4:20-24. Onboarding in March based on Deuteronomy 6:5-9, John 10:25-30 and 1st  Corinthians 1:18-24 which gave us strategies on how to orientate, train, recruit and retain new and old members of the Body of Christ. Last month we petitioned God to Hear Our Prayers based on 2nd Chronicles 6:38-40, Psalms 130:1-6 and Daniel 9:16-19. As members of the Body of Christ one of the questions that those of the world has is that is the things we believe in actually so and they clamor for proof. So this month we do just that. We provide the proof. This month is Evidence In May. In beginning this teaching of Evidence in May I want to define t
