Good morning and Marvelous Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. As a person who believes in God and that Jesus is the only way for one to come into the presence of God, I at times get looks like I am crazy. My beliefs in this comes with dismay and often times stern words. I am asked how can I believe in a man who I have never seen. How can I believe in someone who was rejected by his own people and who sentenced him to death. How come is Jesus never portrayed as being Black. I hear these things often and I at times want to stay silent because I am not one who likes to argue or debate, at least not at this stage of my life. But what I tell them I have spoken to Jesus and he has done the things I have asked of him, there is a look that I get and then people tend to not only walk away but want nothing else to do with me. My beliefs have cost me a lot of friendships. But I know that Jesus lives within me and in saying this It Comes With A Price (Staying In Character).
See those who do not know the power or the love of Jesus will want to call you all kind of names. They are going to question your commitment to him, your prayers to him and his intercessions on
behalf. At times they will try to make you feel like you are all alone when that is not the truth. This walk with Jesus is tough and It Comes With A Price (Staying In Character). This teaching is coming from the second base scripture of this month, John 6:64-66.
As we get into the Word of God for this teaching I begin in John 6:64. Jesus plainly tells those who are following him that there are going to be those who do not believe in him. Now in his time on
earth he did many miracles but there was still those who did not believe he was the Son of God, so he was looked at strange but kept teaching and doing miracles. It Comes With A Price (Staying In Character),
In continuing with this teaching of It Comes With A Price (Staying In Character) I go back to John 6:65. In this verse Jesus comes right out and lets the world know that no one can come to him unless
it was granted by God. This was a saying that would begin a chain reaction of sorts as those who were well versed in the Word of God saw this a blatant lie. It Comes With A Price (Staying in Character).
As we come to the end of the Biblical portion of this teaching of It Comes With A Price (Staying In Character) I go John 6:66. In this verse we see where those who once believed in Jesus have now
turned away and go back to their previous beliefs that are held by the religious leaders of the time, that Jesus is a fraud. It Comes With A Price (Staying In Character).
In conclusion there are going to be husbands/wives that are going to have a hard time convincing their spouse that Jesus is a healer. There are going to be coworkers who have had little to no contact with Jesus who will call you every name that is imaginable. There are going to strangers who will see your light and when you tell them it is from Jesus will frown up and keep it moving. Believing in Jesus, It Comes With A Price. But you have to Stay In Character. You have to be honest and never waver in your belief. Jesus talks to me. I believe that. You have to be courageous. You have to take a message into places that do not want to hear that Jesus is a healer. And you have to have integrity to know that the only to God is through Jesus no matter who says different. This walk is not easy. I Comes With A Price but we must Stay In Character. Jesus paid a price for us all and continued to stay in character. So should we. I give God all the glory and honor for this teaching. Please join me this weekend for an untitled teaching that I pray will bless you. Have the best day ever.
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. This past month I was riding with my friend Angela Francis. On this particular day she had to go get her hair done and her friend Roxanne' shop. I had done this numerous times in the past so when I was getting ready to leave I told Angela I was going to the forest preserve to sit and wait as she got her hair done. At the forest preserve I would be able to do two things while I was there. I would be able to think of ideas for my blog, my radio show and my daily postings on Facebook. When you attempt to write you sometimes get writer's block and need to get to a different atmosphere ( Hmmm Writer's Block may be a blog soon LOL ). The other reason I wanted to go to the forest preserve is because it was hot that day and I needed some shade. So as I approached the forest preserve I put on my left turn signal and waited for traffic coming southbound to clear. After
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. Growing up we used to love to take pictures. Maybe not myself because I had a self confidence problem, but everywhere you went there was someone taking pictures. In grammar school we took pictures every week. In high school we took them every year. At church we took pictures. In the club we took pictures as a group to show we all went to a party. Most of the pictures we took were with a Polaroid camera which had great quality then. But if you wanted the best pictures you wanted the photographer to take your pictures. This was one of the coolest professions back then because all the ladies who wanted to be models or actresses had to go to the photographer to get that photo to take to the different agencies to show how they look. So in order to get the best quality the photographer had to go someplace where he could get the best results. It was his Dark Room. This is the na
Good morning and Happy Friday. The summer is now beginning and the weather is now reaching its highest temperatures. It has reached a high point of 90's so far in the Chicagoland area and it appears to be nothing in sight to relieve us of these conditions that are almost drought like. As the summer gets ready to start in earnest next week we anticipate the warmest temps of the year after a winter that saw a little snow but the hawk, ( that's what we call the wind in the CHI ) was in full effect. But the sun has been out daily and we need a little moisture in our lives. We expect things to get wet in order for us to not only cool off but to wash away some things and bring a freshness of new things in our lives. The hotness of the weather coincides with the hotness in our lives. We need things to cool off a little bit but need some things to come down so we can enjoy the things in our lives that is promised to us as Christians. We are faithful and trusting in his Word. So as we
