Get Delivered From People

Everybody doesn’t want to see you blessed, so what’s new. Stop caring about what people think about you. Today people will like you, tomorrow they will talk about you and next week they will forget about you. One of the reasons people are not further along in life, is because they are too worried about what other people are saying and thinking about them. A few weeks ago a young lady made a statement to me about how people see me. I quickly replied; the Lord delivered me from people years ago so I don’t care. She then said; I’m not there yet. I told her she’d feel a whole lot better when she gets there. At what point in life do you come from under the shadows of others and blossom into the you God created you to be? Back in the day McFadden & Whitehead made a song entitled: Ain’t No Stopping Us Now. In the song they said; I know you know someone that has a negative vibe and if you’re trying to make it they only push you aside, they really don’t have nowhere to go, ask them where they’re going they don’t know. God’s given you to many dreams and a great vision to let someone hold you back. Let nothing and no one stop you.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

I’m Not Where I Thought I Was

After hearing of the horror that the community in South Carolina experienced last week, I along with the rest of the world got a rude awakening. I love God, I preach forgiveness, I believe in forgiveness and yet; I found myself feeling an ungodly anger as I watched on television the events that unfolded. The families of these nine victims showed me that I wasn’t where I thought I was. Family member after family member expressed true love, and forgiveness. As I heard them talk to the offender and express their hurt but showed how merciful Jesus is, I thought to myself, you are not there yet. God began to deal with me so I could see things through spiritual eyes. He showed me how the victim’s died in the presence of the Lord. They died expressing love to the very one that killed them. They died with the word of God on their lips, minds and in their hearts. The bible says; it’s not his will that none shall perish, this includes this young man that has committed this horrific act. God wants him to have eternal life also. That might be hard for some people to grasp, but if this young man repents and accepts Jesus as his Lord and Savior, then he will have eternal life. The real question is; will we learn from this and check where we’re at with God, or will we continue to sit in judgement of everyone and bring damnation on our own souls?

Sacrifice

It amazes me how many people say they love Jesus, but won’t go to church because it goes too long. The audacity of people not wanting to spend two hours or more with God, yet; want God to bless them abundantly. We really don’t know what sacrifice is. We say we sacrifice our time and money, but do we really? Jesus died for us, now that’s sacrifice. He died knowing we would lie, cheat, steal, forget about him, fornicate, shack-up, and kill each other. We won’t even talk to anyone that has lied on us. We will leave someone standing out in the cold if they did us wrong. When we talk about how much we sacrifice, we need to stop and think how much of a lie we are telling ourselves. Until we can really be Christ like, we haven’t sacrificed anything.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Happy Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day. Thank you to the fathers that left their children for whatever reason, and stayed out of their lives instead causing more damage. Without you, the seed would have never been planted with their mother, and your child or children wouldn’t be the blessing they are today. So you are just as important on this father day as anyone. To the men that stepped up and took care someone else’s child; may God bless you. You’ve had to endure children telling you, you’re not my dad, or trying their best to separate you and their mom; yet, you stayed and you raised them in-spite of. Thanks to the biological dads that stuck around and raised their children through hell and high water, and was determined that your children were going to be better than you, and make something out of themselves. Lastly, thank you to all the men who became a father figure to those children in your neighborhoods, and family members where there were no men to help out. You’ve helped shape the community, and shape the future of young lives. So, to all the fathers on today, take a bow you play an important role in a child’s life.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

It’s Not That Hard

It’s not that hard being nice to people, it’s a choice. You have to decide how you’re going to control your behavior. No one can make you do anything you don’t want to do. 

It’s not that hard being honest, it’s a choice. No one can make you lie, steal, and cheat. You do it because you want to do it. 

It’s not that hard being saved, it’s a choice. God gave all of us a free will to choose him or choose something else. The devil doesn’t make us sin, we sin because we want to and it feels good to us. Once sin creeps into our minds and we don’t cast those thoughts out, we act on it. Honestly, we make things harder than they really are. 

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

God Did It Again

When I woke up this morning I just had to thank God, because he did it again. I realized he didn’t have to, so I just said thank you. When I saw that I was in my right mind knowing I should be crazy by now, and still had the activity of my limbs, I said; he did it again and had a praise break. When I went to work and found out I still had a job, I said he did it again, and just began to thank God. When I looked at my pay stub and saw my boss gave me a bonus, I said he did it again, and started thanking God. When I looked in the freezer, I had choices of what I was going to cook for my kids, I said; he did it again and began thanking God for food on the table. When I looked in my closet and asked my clothes which outfit wanted to be bless to be worn today, I said Lord! You did it again. Many people are looking for God to do big things in their life before they begin to thank him. Start noticing the little things and thanking him for the little things. When you do this, you’re telling God, you will be able to handle the big things and you won’t act like you don’t know where your blessing came from.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Lord We Need Your Help

Lord our country is growing crazier by the second. People are losing their minds, losing respect for others, loosing all hope and are resorting to evil tactics. Lord we need your help. Our cities have become war zones and killing grounds. Lord we need your help. The bible says; the enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy; but you came that we may have life. Lord, when we can’t comprehend the madness that’s taking place in this world, help us not to lose our faith in you. Lord, help us to stand on the word while we’re looking at everything that’s going on. Help us Lord, not to get discouraged when everything is coming against us and against our communities. Lord, the pain of this world is overwhelming for many. It’s no longer about the cars, houses, and money; it’s about life, souls, and salvation. Lord, help us to turn from our wicked ways and seek you like never before. We’re in a crisis, our communities are in a crisis, our homes are in a crisis. Lord, we don’t love one another like we should and therefore; we don’t love you, respect you, or reverence you like we should either. Lord, forgive us for being a nation that has forgotten God. Forgive us, from turning away from truth. Forgive us, for thinking we’ve been getting away with sin. Lord, open our blinded eyes and unstop our clogged ears, and let us hear what you are saying. Lord, play time is over and you are not winking at us anymore. Lord, help us to get right before we get left, in Jesus name amen.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

My New Book

My new book is now available at Xlibris.com, Barnes&Noble.com, Amazon.com; you can purchase it in Hardback, Softback, or E-Book format. Here is an excerpt from Woman2Woman:

“I Can’t Take Care of You”

I can’t take care of you
Before God gave Adam a wife

He gave him a job

“Adam, name these animals”

 Before man sits down to eat

he goes out and works a full day

 You see, it would be wrong for me

to aid and abet you in being lazy

 It would be wrong for me

to feed you and let you be fat and full

with no job

 It would be wrong for me

To let you stay in my house and watch TV

while I go to work

 It definitely would be wrong

for me to let you drive my car

You see, a man that doesn’t work

doesn’t eat.

A man with no money

gets no honey.

 A man with no car

means we’re walking.

And how can two walk together unless they agree

 Bottom line,

I can’t take care of you


Excerpt From: ELDER TEREASA BROWN. “Woman2Woman.” XlibrisUS, 2015-06-04T04:00:00+00:00. iBooks.

God Is Good

We know that God is good, but sometimes we forget just how good he is. It’s in those times that we need to look back over our lives and see how far he brought us. We need to remind ourselves that we haven’t always been saved, we haven’t always had the good job, we haven’t always lived where we live now, and begin to thank God for his goodness. When I wake in the morning and realize I’m not in the obituarary section, I say God is good. When I see my children with their health and strength, I say God is good. When I see how I could have been in a crazy relationship, but God intervened and split it up, I say God is good. Only you know how good God’s been to you. So, don’t be afraid or ashame to tell of his goodness. 

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

My Grace Is Sufficient 

Have you been praying to God and all he keeps saying is; my grace is sufficient? If so, don’t get upset. When God says; his grace is sufficient, he’s telling us, his grace will carry us through our bad times. God’s grace will keep us sane when we want to go off the deep end. God’s grace will empower us to deal with the issues life throws at us. When God doesn’t answer your prayer, you still have to continue the work he has for you to do. In the bible, Paul was a mighty man of God. Paul prayed and kept asking God to take the thorn out of his flesh, yet God said; my grace is sufficient. There’s power in the grace of God, but we can’t see it, because we are stuck on the fact that God didn’t answer our prayer the way we thought he should. We are stuck on the fact, that we are praying, fasting, and speaking God’s word, yet other people are being delivered and our household is still going through trials and tribulations. When we grasp the awesomeness of God’s grace, we will truly know that his grace is sufficient.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
