God Will Provide…

20191211_084922

Good morning, Family;

I woke up this morning with the joy of knowing that everything I need, in accordance with God’s will, will be provided by God. I use to get so anxious and I would make myself sick by worrying where what I needed would come from. I was asking and trying to manage at the same time. God has proven himself faithful to me over and over again.

God has a long history of proving exactly what we need at the exact time we need it. The only thing that we must remember is to lift our prayer to God with faith, trust and submission to His will. We must ask God to guide our prayer and to open our spirit to His will.

1 John 5:13-15 

New International Version (NIV)

Concluding Affirmations

13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. 14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.

Rest, relax, and get ready for a blessing. God still provides.

Be blessed,

Rev. Marcia Davis

Follow the Directions…

Good morning, Faithful Family:

I’m always so happy,  when I have the wonderful opportunity to share what the Holy Spirit, our Great Comfortor, has placed in my spirit.

As we as Christians learn and grow in the way of the Lord, the Holy Spirit will walk with us, leading us and guiding us in the way to go. There is no scenario too simple or small. If you call on the Holy Spirit of God, your prayers and groaning are always heard.

Our job, as believers and those filled with the Spirit of God, is to listen worshipfully, prayerfully and obediently for direction and guidance.

John 14:23-27

New King James Version (NKJV)

23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.

The Gift of His Peace

25 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Go in peace, while faithfully serving the Lord.

Rev. Marcia Davis

Rejoice….

Good morning, Family:

Sending love, joy, peace. and hope to all this morning. Every day is a day to rejoice. Rejoice not only for yourself, but rejoice with and for others. Celebrate when others do well. Encourage and edify one another with a pure heart, as God knows our true motives.

Stay away from gossiping and backbiting. It does nothing but cause confusion and strife. Putting someone else down only diminishes your light. We were made in the image of a holy God. Remember whose your are…

Philippians 4:4-8 

New International Version (NIV)

Final Exhortations

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

May the peace of the Lord be with you always. I encourage you to dwell in a place of divine peace.

Now, go and be GREAT!!!!

Make Room…

Good morning, Family:

I pray this morning greets you with love, joy, peace and favor in the Lord.

Do you ever feel rushed in your daily life? Getting kids ready, getting yourself ready? Not to mention the hours you spend, each week, stuck in traffic.

I know that our lives are all full, but we must make time with God a priority. Making room for God, each day, will give us direction, energy and feeling of purpose that we would normally not have.

If you don’t already have a set aside time for God, I would recommend starting off with five to ten minutes in the morning and then ten to fifteen minutes in the evening. If you have a journal, write in it each morning and evening. Very soon, you will have a routine for your day. I know you can do it. I will be praying for you.

Ephesians 5:15-17 

English Standard Version (ESV)

15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

May God continually fill you with his peace and love. Now, go and be GREAT!!!!

Rev. Marcia Davis

Thy Will Be Done…

b_W10=

Good morning, Family:

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday time. I enjoyed time with my family and friends. Most of the seven days, that I was on vacation, involved a lot of work preparing for company and cooking. I am so very thankful for all that God has done.

In the Lord’s Prayer there is a sentence that says, “Thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven.” I thought so much about that line of the prayer. Coming into agreement with what God has spoken and ordained, in heaven, does not automatically mean we will have an easy life. It does mean, however, that we will live a life of surrender, hope, faith and obedience.

Today, and every day, begin your morning with the Lord’s Prayer. As you pray, open your heart to know that God would never lead you astray.

Now, go and be GREAT!!! 

I love you with an amazing and everlasting love. 

In Christ Alone, 

Rev. Marcia Davis

The Rock…

monkimage

Good morning, Family:

Let’s dive right into the scriptures this morning. Hold on tight to this nugget of truth. I need you to see that God was not only talking to Peter. God was talking to anyone who received the revelation from the Holy Spirit regarding the Truth of who Jesus is and was. Peter was A rock. Jesus is THE ROCK!

Matthew 16:13-20

Contemporary English Version (CEV)

Who Is Jesus?

13 When Jesus and his disciples were near the town of Caesarea Philippi, he asked them, “What do people say about the Son of Man?”

14 The disciples answered, “Some people say you are John the Baptist or maybe Elijah or Jeremiah or some other prophet.”

15 Then Jesus asked them, “But who do you say I am?”

16 Simon Peter spoke up, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

17 Jesus told him:

Simon, son of Jonah, you are blessed! You didn’t discover this on your own. It was shown to you by my Father in heaven. 

18 So I will call you Peter, which means “a rock.” On this rock I will build my church, and death itself will not have any power over it. 

19 I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and God in heaven will allow whatever you allow on earth. But he will not allow anything that you don’t allow.

 

20 Jesus told his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.

Walk in peace and truth, knowing that the Spirit of the Living and Eternal God will lead and guide you in all things. Stay hungry and thirsty for the Lord. Feast on His Word. Ask for eyes to see and ears to hear the manifested and Living Word.

Go in peace,

Rev. Marcia Davis

Restore the Joy…

day-23 (1)

Greetings and Abundant Love, Family:

What an amazing life we get to live, on this earthly journey. Happiness, joy, sickness, pain, health, and peace. Each day is another testament to the adventures of life.

Sometimes we have days that are filled with more seasons of sadness, grief, sickness and pain. Multiple days of hardship can wear on the heart, spirit and even the mind. During these time, we must hold on to God with all of our strength. If we dont, the enemy of our soul will begin to feed on our dark place.

Take back your joy!!!

Take back your peace!!

Psalm 51:10-12

New International Version (NIV)

10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

Be honest with yourself. If you are hurting and in pain, cry out to the Most High God. Allow God to pour his love over you. Allow his perfect love to heal, renew, refresh and restore you.

Will thou be made whole???

Call on the Great Healer. Only God can do a perfect work in your heart, mind, soul and spirit. Just cry out and call on the name of Jesus, our Deliverer and Redeemer.

Be well,

Rev. Marcia Davis

Good morning, Family:

I pray this message finds you doing well and at peace in your heart, mind, soul and spirit.

Today is a brand new day, full of new mercies and blessings. Greet the day with a thankful heart.

Lamentations 3:22-26

New International Version (NIV)

22 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
    for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
    therefore I will wait for him.”

25 The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,
    to the one who seeks him;
26 it is good to wait quietly
    for the salvation of the Lord.

In His amazing and abundant grace,

Rev. Marcia Davis

Father, I thank you for continually being God in my life and in every circumstance. I am grateful for your patience and mercy and that your desire is always for me to be better.

Help me to trust your hands, your will and your methods for sanctifying me. I trust you completely, more than I trust anything else. Sanctify my thoughts, my mouth, my heart, my relationships, my finances, my worship and my life, as I walk and live for you.
