Good morning, Beloved Family:

I give thanks, praise, and honor to the Triune God-head. God, the Father, God, the Son and God, the Holy Sweet Spirit.

Family, yesterday, I had the honor of visiting a dear friend of mine, who is in the transitioning season of her life, at a beautiful hospice facility here in Georgia.  She and I have worked together for over ten years. One of the things that I recognized about her, when we first met, so many years ago, is the love she showed.

There was a sweetness in her spirit. Even before I knew her spiritual affiliation, I knew that she loved God. The reason I knew is because I recognized the presence of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is like a fragrance. No matter who is wearing the fragrance, you recognize the scent right away.

When I walked into her hospice room, the same sweet fragrance was there. I stayed and talked with the family for a short while. Upon going back to my vehicle, I started singing the song, “Sweet, Sweet Spirit.” It has been on my heart all last night and all this morning.

The world of God says in John 13, that if we are Jesus’s disciples, the world will know we are His by our Love. My dear friend displayed and lived out who she belonged to every day. I know for sure that God will say to you, “Well done, my good and faithful servant. The banquet table is ready for you.”

John 13:33-35

New International Version (NIV)

³³ “My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come.

³⁴ “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. ³⁵ By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Go in peace and in Love, while faithfully serving the Lord. 

Rev. Marcia F. Davis

Praise God from Whom ALL blessings flow!!!

Good morning, Family:

Happy Monday. This is the day the Lord has made. I WILL REJOICE and be glad, excited and overflowing with joy about it!!

Can I get a witness?!

Can I get a witness, is phrase that asks those that are agreement with what you are saying to “sound-off,” because they know what you are saying to be true for themselves. 

Psalm 107:1-2

English Standard Version (ESV)

Book Five

Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So

Good morning, Family:

I greet you this morning, along with a great unseen cloud of witnesses, and shout HALLELUJAH to the All knowing and everlasting God.

Revelation 19:6-9

New International Version (NIV)

⁶ Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:

“Hallelujah!
    For our Lord God Almighty reigns.
⁷ Let us rejoice and be glad
    and give him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
    and his bride has made herself ready.
⁸ Fine linen, bright and clean,
    was given her to wear.”

(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.)

⁹ Then the angel said to me, “Write this:Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”

I’m not sure if you, or someone you know, has been affected by the partial government shutdown. The shutdown has affected the country. The only good thing that has come out of this is seeing the goodness of people coming together to help one another.

Each time I turn on the TV, I see where furloughed workers are being assisted with food, money and other basic needs. God is putting on people’s hearts to help their brothers and sisters. Your color doesn’t matter and your political affliction doesn’t matter. Every nation represented in this country is being helped. Praise God

God promised to never leave us or forsake us. May we continue to stand and pray for our great country and its leaders.

Never forget. It is God who reigns!!!! Amen. Go in peace, while faithfully and joyfully serving Lord.

Rev. Marcia F. Davis

Good morning, Beautiful Family:

Happy Wednesday. May you walk boldly today in the knowledge of who you are and whose you are. As a child of the Most High God, you have access and keys to the Throne Room of God through the redeeming blood of Jesus Christ. 

John 8:34-36

New International Version (NIV)

³⁴ Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. ³⁵ Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. ³⁶ So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

How does it feel to be chosen?

How does it feel to be created On Purpose?

We worship you Father. Thank you for loving us despite our unworthiness. May we walk worthy of the call you have placed in our lives.

Glory to God in Highest!!!

HALLELUJAH!!!

Rev. Marcia F. Davis

Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound…

Good morning, Family:

Most of us know the beginning verse to this timeless song. What makes “Grace” so amazing? What properties does Grace include that would bring us to our knees and weep in thankfulness? The reason is, while we yet still sinners, Jesus died for us all. 

Romans 5:1-8

New International Version (NIV)

Peace and Hope

5 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ² through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. ³ Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; ⁴ perseverance, character; and character, hope. ⁵ And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

⁶ You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. ⁷ Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. ⁸ But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Every day, we should walk in the full knowledge and humbleness of the gift of Grace we were given. Understanding the weight that of our sins we did not have to carry…

Isaiah 53:5

New King James Version (NKJV)

Good morning, Family:

It’s so good to be able to connect with you this morning. I hope you had an amazing weekend. Today, in the United States, we are celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dr. King was a social activist, a religious leader, and a peacemaker. One of his most famous speeches was his, “I Have A Dream” speech. Dr. King was dreaming of a time and place where all men would become one. He, and those that supported him, were dreaming of a time when a man would be judged by their character and not the color of their skin.

Today, instead of a worship video, I leave you with Dr. King’s speech.

Be blessed today. Walk in love today. Allow God to work in and through you today.

Go in peace, while praising and serving the Lord.

 

Good morning, Family:

Psalm 27:4 ,7-8, 13-14

“4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple.”

I have truly missed you these last few days. Packing, moving into a new city and house and then unpacking is fun and exciting, but it requires a lot of time, money and effort. Praise God, we are all settled in and I’m ready to get back into a routine. 

I was going to wait until Monday to write, but I was just missing you all so much. Every day, I feel your prayers, I feel your energy and I feel your love. 

Thank you all again, for all of the encouraging words you have written, in response to various devotionals message. Your feedback is so appreciated, so please continue to share your heart with me. 

What is next for Sacred Journey Devotionals in 2019? Well, I will be recording more live messages. I will be asking for more of your input. I would like to know your prayer concerns and your victories. I want you to know that I am here to pray with you, to laugh with you and to cry with you. I am your sister, in Christ, and your friend. 

So happy Friday. Make today a great day. In everything you experience, give Thanks to God.

Enjoy today’s worship video from the anointed and talented Jamie Grace and know that I love you with the amazing and everlasting love of the Lord. 

Go in peace, while joyfully serving and praising the Lord. 

Rev. Marcia F. Davis

Good morning, Family:

You may have wondered where I have been since last week. I’m happy to say that my family and I were in the process of moving into our new home. We are starting a brand new Chapter of our lives in a new city and we are so very thankful to God for blessing us.

Worship with me this morning, as we lift up holy hands and open our months to lavish praise, glory and honor on the King of Kings and Lord of Lord.

Isaiah 43:16-19

New International Version (NIV)

Good morning, Manifest Perfections of God:

When you look in the mirror, I hope you see God’s perfection at it’s very, very, best. You are beautiful and loved by the same Creator that hung the stars in the sky. 

No matter what you have been through..

You are Loved!!!

No matter who may have hurt you…

You are Beautiful!!

No matter how someone made you feel, please remember….

You are Priceless!!!

Psalm 139:14-16

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁴ I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

¹⁵ My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

¹⁶ Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

I love you with the amazing and everlasting love of Jesus Christ our Lord and Magnificent Redeemer.

Go in peace, while serving the Lord.

Rev. Marcia F. Davis

 

 

Good morning, Family:

Peace and blessings to you all. I want to encourage you to start the year off strong in the Lord. There may be battles, wars and warfare, but know you are not standing alone

 I encourage you to meditate and recite the 23rd Psalm every time you feel fearful, alone or afraid.

Psalm 23

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

23 ⁽⁰⁾ A psalm of David:

⁽¹⁾ Adonai is my shepherd; I lack nothing.
² He has me lie down in grassy pastures,
he leads me by quiet water,
³ he restores my inner person.
He guides me in right paths
for the sake of his own name.
⁴ Even if I pass through death-dark ravines,
I will fear no disaster; for you are with me;
your rod and staff reassure me.

⁵ You prepare a table for me,
even as my enemies watch;
you anoint my head with oil
from an overflowing cup.
