Are We Alone???

Good morning, Precious Family:

I pray that this letter finds you doing well and  dwelling and living safely in the all-encompassing Peace of the Lord.

In every letter that I write to each of you, I try to be as honest and transparent as I can possibly be. With that said, I need to be completely honest in my letter to you. I had a hard time earlier this week.

I try not to watch the news too often, as it can be so depressing and scary. Well, I made the mistake of watching the news this week.

Family, I would be lying if I didn’t confess that some days, it feels like my prayers aren’t going anywhere and that evil is winning. I can not understand how evil keeps getting ahead.  God, “Are we all alone? Are we making a difference against evil?”

I avoided sitting down and talking to God this week, until I found out that my great nephew was very sick and had been admitted into Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital, through the emergency room.

I immediately went into prayer warrior mode and called on all of God’s Intercessors and Prayer Warriors to take their battle positions. The war went on for four days and then God began turning things around. God heard OUR prayers!!!

God reminded me, like He had to remind the servant of the prophet Elisha, in 2 Kings, that I was not alone and there was more WITH ME than against me, in my battle against evil.

Holy Scriptures

2 Kings 6:9-17

Modern English Version

But the man of God sent word to the king of Israel, saying, “Take care not to pass through this place, for the Arameans are marching down there.” 10 The king of Israel sent word to the place of which the man of God spoke. He warned him and was on his guard there more than once.

11 The mind of the king of Aram was troubled by this, so he called his servants and said to them, “Will you not tell me who among us sides with the king of Israel?”

12 Then one of his servants said, “No one, my lord, O king. Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.”

13 He said, “Go and see where he is, so that I may send for him and take him.” And it was told to him, “He is in Dothan.” 14 So he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there. They came by night and surrounded the city.

15 When a servant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, a force surrounded the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What will we do?”

16 And he said, “Do not be afraid, for there are more with us than with them.”

17 Then Elisha prayed, “Lord, open his eyes and let him see.” So the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw that the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire surrounding Elisha.

Songs of Faith

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Family, I am so thankful and grateful for God’s unfailing faithfulness to be there at just the right time. Please know that there is indeed a spiritual battle going on, but we are not alone. There are millions and millions of saints around the world praying and intercessing to God, in the name of Jesus. WE ARE NOT ALONE!!!

Continue to be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Continue to study and dwell in God’s Holy Word. Finally, remind each other that God has the final say and the enemy is defeated each time we take our battle positions by worshipping, praying, intercessing, and at times fasting. May we see those who are in God’s holy army.

Come Home…

Greetings, Precious Ones:

The song lyrics to “Softly and Tenderly” are lyrics that hold a special place in my heart. The heart of God is that no one, not one soul, would be lost.

The heart of God holds more love than many of us can really fathom or imagine. I have had the pleasure and grace to have experienced the sweet and tender love of Jesus through a personal encounter after a time of fasting and prayer several years ago.

I was in a season of seeking God because it felt like I was just “going through the motions” of church. I dont know where or at what point I began to fill distant from God. I just knew that I had to find a way back to my first love. My pastor at the time suggested that I go into a season of fasting and prayer. On the 30th and final day of my fast, something amazing happened.

Instead of reading scripture that day, I felt led to worship and sing a new song to God. While I was singing, it felt like I was going into some type of trance, but at the same time, I knew that I was at home and sitting on my bed.

The whole story would take too long to tell here, but the love that wrapped its arms around me that day was a love that I had never experienced before or since. The love that radiated through me instantly disintegrated any darkness, shortcomings, or fear. I experienced true, pure, unfiltered love. I knew in that instant what it meant to be born again.

It is my prayer that everyone would have that same encounter with God so that they would know what is waiting for them in heaven…and here on earth, as the Kingdom of God is within us.

The encounter I had birthed my desire to teach the Word of God. My worship from that day was never the same. Every song I sing to God is full of gratitude and thanksgiving.

Scriptures of Hope

1 Peter 1:3-5

English Standard Version

Born Again to a Living Hope

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Invitation to Worship

Family, I love you all with the amazing and everlasting love of our Lord, Savior, and Redeemer Jesus Christ.
