GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH

We have to remember that God is always with us. He never leaves our side. He never stops speaking to us. But sometimes there are times when we make the decision to go off on our own and stray from Him to follow our own desires. There are times when we stop listening to Him because we want to do the things that we want to do. 

The awesome thing about our God is that we can always find our way back to Him and just like the prodigal son he will receive us with open arms without fault or judgment. He will outstretch His arms and hold us tight to Him. We can be muddied and dirty and He will take us as we are. Don't worry about cleaning up first because He is there to clean us up. Make us new again.

I am so grateful and thankful for God's grace and mercy. The love that He has for us is just SO BIG!!! It is so enormous. You have got to know that. There is nothing that you have been through or that you are going through that He cannot fix. There is no situation that He cannot change. You just have to trust and believe in Him. Please, give God a try. You will not be disappointed. I promise you!

LIVE YOUR LIFE IN PEACE (BLURB)

Because of our doubt, worry and fear we forfeit the peace that comes along with trusting God's promises to us. Trust God to do what He says. That is the only way to calm a troubled heart.

LET GOD SOW INTO YOUR HEART

“The seed that falls among weeds stands for those who hear the word of God but the worries and the riches and the pleasures of life crowd in and choke them and their fruit never ripens.” Luke 8:14

Friends in Christ, I just want to share something with you that I heard today. In order to bring forth fruit, our hearts have to be prepared to hear the word of God. We have to remove everything from our hearts and our minds that would cause a seed sown by God into our lives to be choked. We cannot allow worldly issues and goings on to cause us to not hear the voice of God and follow his instruction. That is exactly what the enemy wants to happen. 

We cannot let our fear and our uncertainty stop us from fulfilling the mission that God has for us or from receiving the blessings the God wants to bestow upon us. So if you are wondering why you may feel a little discouraged or you may feel like you have lost your way, take a look into your life and find the things that are a distraction. Find out what and who those weeds are that are choking the seeds that God is trying to sow into your hearts and lives and remove them so that you can flourish in God's word and blessings. God bless you!

REBORN IN CHRIST MY TESTIMONY

I dedicated my life to Christ on July 25, 2013. I was not looking to be saved. I was just going through a really rough time and I was so angry. I was angry every single day. The littlest things would set me off. I was a miserable person. I had no idea of why I went to work that morning after cursing out my ex-husband for filth via text message. I wanted to crawl underneath my desk. I did not want to be there.

I felt like I was going to explode! A co-worker of mine who would always invite me to her church came to mind. I did not know her very well, but I knew that I had to take time out and let her know how I was feeling if I was going to survive that day let alone the rest of my life. I made my way downstairs to where she sat and I asked her if she had a minute to talk to me. Well, that minute turned into two whole uninterrupted hours.

I poured out my heart to her. I told her about all of my troubles and my fears. I told her that I did not know why I was so angry but I just was. She was super sweet. She listened to me and really calmed me down. She witnessed to me for the entire two hours without interruption which was rare because she works in one of the busiest departments within our company. The Holy Spirit was at work! After ministering to me, she asked me to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. She told me how much He loved me and that how everything that I had ever done would be forgiven if I just asked Him to.

Well, I jumped at the chance and accepted Jesus Christ into my life. At that moment, I felt a huge weight lift off of me and out of me. It was as though I was carrying around the weight of the whole entire world within me and in that moment, He took it all away. I wept. Not because I was sad, but because I felt a love surround me that I had never experienced before. I have loved people and people have loved me, but I have never felt such a great abundance of love and caring and light and just, oh, it was and still cannot be explained. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever felt in my whole life! A supernatural love! God forgave me of all my wrong doings and covered them with the blood of Jesus. I have been living for Him ever since. I'm going to end this post here. I have so much more to share. My first year as a baby Christian was a world-wind, but it was amazing!

9-1-1, WHAT'S YOUR EMERGENCY?

November 01, 2020

Last week, I was watching a show called 9-1-1. It's a scripted show that follows a group of 911 rescuers and a 911 operator who takes the calls. In the beginning of one of the episodes, the 911 operator has a narrative where she talks about how she always wonders about what happens after the callers disconnect. She says that the callers always hang up the phone once help arrives.

Now, this got me thinking and it immediately touched my spirit. It made me think about God (the supreme rescuer) and how many times I have been guilty of hanging up the phone on God once he rescued me from a difficult time in my life only to wind up in another situation a month later and do the same thing all over again. How many times have I made empty promises only to let him down? And we all know God is God so he knew that I would not make good on certain things that I said I would do, and he blessed me anyway. He helped me anyway. He rescued me anyway. I broke down in tears.

The love of God is so immense. So great. So wonderful! Ephesians 2:4-5 says, "But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ--by grace you have been saved." God deserves everything we have to give. Every. Single. Thing. Why? Because he has given us every single thing he has, including his life! God loves us so much. We are his children. The kingdom of heaven is ours.

So, please, please please...don't hang up the phone on God once he rescues you. Don't hang up on him once he gets you out of that tough spot. Get on your face before him. Thank him. Love him. Talk to him. Praise him. Worship him. Adore him. Live for him. Spend that time with God. Give him your all because there isn't a single day that goes by, that he isn't giving his all for you.

Blessings and Love, E

LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Let your light shine! Testify to the whole world of God’s goodness! Let the world know what God has done in your life! Let the world know what God can do in theirs! Don’t ever hide the light that shines brightly inside of you. If we wanna keep it really real right now, you couldn’t hide your light within from the enemy if you wanted to! The enemy sees your light beaming and shining bright from 1000 miles away and he can’t stand it! Oh, the enemy wants to dim that light that God has placed on the inside of you so badly! But guess what, he can’t! He won’t! You keep on task with what God has given you to do. See it through til the end! Let your light shine brightly and boldly! Fiercely! Put the enemy on notice! There’s no shutting off the lights over here! God has paid your light bill up through eternity! 💡✨🌟💫

GROWING CLOSER TO GOD (OLD POST FROM 2014)

October 01, 2014

So much has happened in these last few weeks. I got baptized on September 28, 2014 and it was absolutely amazing. I gave my life to Christ in 2013 and although I had already been baptized with the Holy Spirit, I knew that I had to be baptized in water as well just like Jesus was. I said the whole objective of being a Christian is to be like our Lord and savior Jesus Christ so if He did, I most certainly wanted to do it to. It was an amazing experience. I found a great church in my town, I invited my family and my friends and it was just awesome. I got so much love and support from my online Facebook family and so many well wishes and congratulatory thoughts. I think by the time all was said and done, I had over 600 likes and close to 200 comments on my post. 

I know that I have been MIA, but I was finishing up school and I don’t know if I mentioned earlier, I started a new position at my job. I have been just getting into my new routine and settling into my new job and so I have not had the chance to post at all. I have been using my time to get closer to Christ though. I notice that when I am super busy with this and that and daily tasks begin to take up so much of my time and I am not in the Word like I should be, that gives room for the enemy to slip in and cause chaos. I was attacked severely spiritually within the last two weeks and it was a horrible experience. It was so bad that I felt as though I was having a nervous breakdown for real. I allowed the enemy to convince me of something different than what God had shown me and I lost my faith for a bit. I was so hurt and upset that I just started wondering what living for God was all for. 

Sometimes as a Christian, you get fed up and you get tired of letting people walk all over you and forgiving people for the same things over and over again. Ephesians 5: 1-2 says, “Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Sometimes this is easier said than done. The enemy will use those who we love and trust to hurt us so that we will turn away from God. That is why we are to love God first above all else and put Him first and finally fled from Jesus for a little while because you know, mama (aka Satan) is messy and loves drama, chaos and anything evil that will take our minds off God and doing right. 

There are a number of Bible verses that you can memorize that will give you strength in tough times when the enemy pounces on you and tries to break you. I have included a few of my favorites. When you know that you are under spiritual attack and you feel weak speak these verses out loud and with conviction. The enemy will surely flee!

Bible Verses to Fight the Enemy

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” 

Deuteronomy 20:4 For the Lord your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.’  Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. 

1 Corinthians 10:13 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. 

Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 

Isaiah 40:31 But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. 

Psalm 31:24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord! 

Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

FOLLOWING GOD'S INSTRUCTION (GET MOVING!!!)

In Exodus 14:15, after Moses had been chosen by God to help the people of Israel escape the Egyptians, God gave Moses instructions on what he needed to do once Pharaoh's army began to give chase. Moses was a bit hesitant and instead of acting on God's instructions right then and there, he began to cry out to God again for direction. Then the Lord said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to me? Tell the people to get moving!"

Prayer must always have a vital place in our lives, but sometimes, like Moses, we hesitate on acting once God has answered our prayers and given us the go ahead to go forth. Sometimes, we pray for more guidance as an excuse to postpone doing what God has called us to do out of fear which is not of God. If we know what we should do and know what God has instructed us to do, then we should do like God told Moses and get moving!!!!

WHOOP THE ENEMY

Stay in your Bible!! Do your best to make time to read it every single day so that you will be equipped with the weapons necessary to whoop the enemy at every turn! Clothe yourself in the Full Armor of God! Meditate on the Word of God. The enemy can only be defeated with the Word of God. Cursing and hollering at him won't make him leave!

Hit him hard with that Word! Make sure you know it, make sure you have the Word hidden in your heart. You can't use what you don't have, so make sure you have it! All day every day! The enemy doesn't rest or take breaks because he knows his time is short! So we can't either! Keep your mind stayed on the Lord and you will whoop him every time! Amen! Hae a blessed evening and God Bless you!

GOD WILL LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT

When it comes to people, sometimes yes, it can be difficult to find someone who will love and be there for us no matter the circumstance. But God, God loves us always, and for that, we are forever grateful! 💕🙏🏽 

Romans 8:38-39 “And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

GOD IS THE ONLY WAY

Pharaoh’s magicians were able to replicate every sign and plague that Aaron and Moses brought from God up to the frogs. Although Pharaoh’s heart had been hardened, you would’ve thought that the magicians would’ve accepted the word instead of adding to the issue.🙄

Instead of just the one plague, the people of Egypt had to deal with twice the trouble. It was only after they could no longer replicate the plagues that the magicians acknowledged witnessing “the finger” of God. 

This makes me think of all of the unbelievers who dibble and dabble in this and that and who have all of these rituals and things that they do & idols that they pray to & worship and they truly believe they are blessed by those things. They may appear to be blessed in the natural realm, but the spiritual realm is a whole different story and in the end, God , the Creator, is more powerful than anything and in the end, every knee shall bow. 

Unfortunately, sometimes this is learned too late. But because of Jesus, all of those in the darkness have a chance to be brought to light. So I say this, continue to pray for those who are lost or have lost their way. There is always hope. Don’t become like Pharaoh and harden your hearts to them. Draw them with loving kindness as our Heavenly father would and He will do the rest. Trust Him.💫

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR YOU LATELY?

✨Life can sometimes get a little hectic. Sometimes I find myself up and 2am just thinking about life. What I’ve been through and what’s to come. But I have learned this much, when my emotions are all over the place, I have to step back, and make sure that I take the time out to care for myself. 

So I ask you, are you taking care of yourself like you should be? Are you making time for yourself and making sure you have the things you need? If not, stop what you’re doing and make a promise to yourself that you will do at least one thing for you today. It’s doesn’t have to be anything big, just make sure you take some time for yourself. As Miss Jackson said, “You’ve got one life to live!” So make sure you are living yours to the fullest even if you have to do it inside!

💕 Ain’t no love like self-love! ✨

I'M STILL HERE!!!

So many times the enemy has tried to take me down. So many different ways. Through so many different people. People who I thought were my friends. People who I thought had my best interest at heart. People who I thought loved me. 

But you know who was always my friend? You know who always had my best interest at heart? You know who has always loved me? My heavenly, Almighty Father God! I am forever grateful for His Grace. His Mercy and His sending His one and only Son to die on the cross for me! And you know what else...I’M STILL HERE!!!! And for that, I am so thankful! If Almighty God has always had your back, give Him some praise this morning!✨💕💫

[godlovespink]

TRUST IN GOD ALWAYS

Thank God for the disciples because they are the exact depiction of how us as humans can be. No matter how many miracles they saw Jesus perform, they always remained in awe. Instead of them saying Jesus we gon need you to do this or that as you have before, they always came to him like, “What are we going to do?!” In a panic. As humans, we can sometimes forget to trust God completely. Yes, we have seen Him come through for us time and time again, but we still panic. Why do we do that? Maybe instead of us asking God for help the next time we pray, how about we show Him what He has done in His word and trust him to do the same for us. God, you say in (Bible verse that applies to your situation) that (what the verse says) and I trust you to do that for me! Proclaim your faith in God to God. He is almighty. All powerful! Trust Him.✨

[godlovespink]

CHANGE IS GOOD

✨Change is not always a bad thing. I am constantly evolving and I will continue to do so until my last breath. Some ppl are uncomfortable with that and that’s fine. But don’t let their discomfort affect you and yours. 

Let go of what we had been holding you back. Forgive yourself. Forgive someone. Break a generational pattern that has been detrimental to your family for years. Try something new. Do something you’ve always wanted to do. Travel. Turn that hobby into a business. Try that hairstyle. Get that piercing lol! Speak up.✨ Change is inevitable, but growth is optional. We are constantly changing and evolving. It’s up to you to decide what becomes of that change.✨
