JESUS THE SUPPLIER OF ALL OF OUR NEEDS As I reflected on our last blog concerning Jesus Our Author and Finisher of Faith, I remembered a beautiful devotional I read years ago called “The Supplied Life” by Bill Freeman. Brother Freeman had a daily reading called ‘A Full Scholarship.’ It fits perfectly with what we have been learning about our AMAZING LORD JESUS and the wonderful gift we have living inside of us. I want to share it with…
JESUS OUR PURPOSE Who am I? Why am I here? Why was I created? For what purpose was I created? These are the questions of a searching heart. They are the questions that have been asked by mankind since the beginning of time. Man remains desperate to make sense of his world and the world around him. We look to the stars for our purpose. We look to nature for ‘the why’ of our existence. We look to each…
JESUS OUR INTIMATE FRIEND AND BRIDEGROOM You may have read this email I posted on my Facebook page last week, however, many of you didn’t. Therefore, I felt the need to post it again. Dear Tresca, I got your email address from a friend of mine who encouraged me to write to you to ask for advice. I know you are going away to a women’s retreat this weekend and many of my sisters in Christ will be…
JESUS OUR HIDING PLACE In this blog, let’s take a deeper look at intimacy and why intimacy feels so foreign to us. Intimacy is a scary thing we dread with a vengeance! Why? Because we have been used, abused, discounted, rejected, betrayed, etc. No wonder when Jesus makes promises to us or even prove to us how much He loves us, we still will not open up fully to Him. It reminds me of us having a beautiful house,…
WHAT’S EATING AT ME? I had written a different blog for this week called “Jesus Our Hope.” I was in a whimsical mood and wrote the little story to share with you, but, when I woke up this morning I felt compelled to write this important blog. In this blog, I veered away from the facet of Jesus for a moment. I decided to present a blog that will be helpful in dealing with an area we all struggle…
JESUS OUR HOPE As I was riding down the highway of life with my Beloved Jesus one day, a stranger was hitchhiking and wanted us to stop. As we slowed down and pulled over to see what he wanted, the stranger asked, “Can I get a ride to the nearest gas station, my car ran out of gas; the gas station is only about five miles?” Since Jesus was driving, I asked him, “What do you think my Lord,…
JESUS OUR ESCORT TO HIMSELF In our last blog, we talked about hope and discouragement. We learned both of them speak to us and it is up to us which voice we choose to listen to. Brother Bill Freeman in his devotional, “The Supplied Life,” discussed how every situation in life was designed by our Father for one purpose; let’s see what the purpose is in the reading below: Let the Defeats Escort You “Let us, therefore, come…
JESUS OUR OCEAN OF LOVE One day as I was walking through the Kingdom of God with my Lord, I noticed a man in his late forties playing and splashing in the play pool; he was having a ball. He filled his red bucket with water then poured it over his head; he was happy and content. Then, I noticed he stretched out face down in the shallow pool and stretched out his arms, then his legs, and pretended…
JESUS OUR COMPLETOR When I woke up this morning the following scriptures came to my heart concerning MY SPIRIT, “And you are COMPLETE IN ME, which is the head over all principality and power.” Colossians 2:10. Another scripture says …that ye STAND COMPLETE in all the will of God.” Colossians 4:12. Finally, this scripture says it all concerning MY SOUL, COMING INTO THE REALITY OF MY SPIRIT, “Being confident my brethren that HE (Jesus Christ) who has begun a GOOD WORK…
JESUS OUR TRUE IDENTITY PART 1 I will be conducting a series of workshops in a few weeks and one is focused on ‘Our True Identity.’ I thought it was important to examine this topic in the light of the new workshops. As I explored this topic, I discovered in 2014 over 17.6 million Americans were impacted by identity theft. The thieves used Americans’ private information to incur debts by obtaining credit cards, purchasing expensive items, and other fraudulent…
