In Spite of it all - My Testimony and Message
One year ago, I established this blog that was burning in my spirit to release messages that would hopefully uplift, encourage,
motivate, and enrich.
Since that time, God has blessed me tremendously, though the blessing has been challenging, I obeyed. Therefore, I share my story of launching a business, August 2014, a book on October 29, 2014, and being elevated in ministry, November 2014. FAITH.
I can't explain it. What I can explain is that the enemy has tried to conquer my quest and take me down. I've been lied on, cheated, talked about and sooooo mistreated.
When you follow a path for God's sake, the enemy, obstacles and negativity will attack you.
Be steadfast and finish strong in the midst of it all.
When you follow a path for God's sake, the enemy, obstacles and negativity will attack you.
Be steadfast and finish strong in the midst of it all.
I'm holding on to God's unchanging hand, that's all. You may not be able to see the plan clearly at first, but by and by, God's plan and vision for your life will be clear and plain. It takes faith and obedience. Challenging; however, faith and obedience to His voice are the keys.
WHAT HAVE I LEARNED? When God gives you a path to follow - do not expect to see those who you think you will see along the way supporting and cheering you on. God will send you a whole new lineup of people, supporters, and followers. Don't be discouraged or disappointed, embrace it.
It's all a part of His plan for you.
My Message
I am at a loss for words when I watch the news, read the paper, and listen to the thinking of people with "twisted" thinking. That is thinking that it is alright to kill other people, thinking that a world of violence is "what's up;" thinking that it is alright to disrespect the President of the United States, his children and wife; thinking that it is alright to make a reality show that shows everything but reality; thinking that it is alright to make music that is full of profanity and derogatory language (sadly, people buy it), thinking that it is alright to live loosely-depending on others with no responsibility of their own; thinking that it is alright to betray someone who trusts you; thinking that it is alright to steal someone else's belongings; thinking that it is alright to be promiscuous; thinking that it is alright to stay at home all day, and not seek some level of employment; and the list goes on...
But, in spite of it all, God is on the side of righteousness. He sits high and looks low. There will be no jury in heaven to acquit those who have done wrong. Good prevails over evil at all times. Timeliness may not always be on our clock, but God holds the eternal clock of life. We will all be held accountable and face our deeds, good or bad.
My message today is simple. There is a great deal of work for us to do in society. Especially for those who say that they love God and want to do what's right. There is some good that can come from everyone. Find what your "good" is and make a contribution to help others in society.
May I tell you that not everyone accepts my messages and blog? Some people delete the message without reading it, some have blocked the messages, one person requested that his/her email be deleted from the distribution. But it's okay, God tells me to do it anyway because it helps somebody - somewhere. To date, I have over 5,800 pageviews of this blog. People from faraway countries and the United States are reading the messages. See just a few of my blog's stats below:
Bottom line, do what God has commanded, no matter what it seems like. You will be blessed.
