Today i just thank God so much for answered prayers. What an amazing God we serve and yet that is still such an understatement. I want yall to know that God is truly working in my life and i pray that he is in yours to. So today i would like us to look at Luke 6:39-45. The KJV title this passage parable of the blind leading the blind its fitting and you can find this also in Matt. 7:3-5,16-18.

The time is now for you to hear and today is the day for salvation. As we turn here into Luke 6:27-36. This is a piece of scripture that i have often had problems with. “but i say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you (27-28). How have we as Christians fulfilled this command by...

Amen that my God is the Lord also of the sabbath. As we read within the verses of chapter 6 of Luke 1-5. Today i tell our Lord is not restricted by the law of the Pharisees. My God is the law. I am so thankful today that my God can do that of which is pleasing to him and is obedient for he does not lie. Jesus said in verse 5 ” that the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.” There are...

Today i want to teach about Luke 5:36-39. This is a hard one for me for i want to go in a different direction than it is pointing to but at same time believe we can learn from these verses. It is talking here concerning the old and corrupt ways of the Pharisees and the ways in which Christ has called us to live. This goes directly back to the prior verses in Luke teaching on Fasting the we are...

Today we will speak of a topic that is kinda like that one book on the shelf that just sits there and gets dust. Its one that may be mentioned but never really picked up. Today we will be looking at Luke 5:33-35.
”And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink? And he said unto...

I know that its been a few days since i have sent out an email. But I’m ready to pick up where we left off in Luke. So lets take a look at Luke 5:1-11. Today i want to talk about us as Christians in the thoughts of witnessing.
So have you have tried over and over to witness to someone but have no results or seems as if its a lost cause? Does it make you weary and want to give up?

I tell you what this power that is spoken of is simply amazing. Luke 4:31-37. Jesus was speaking in Capernaum. Verse 32 “And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power” AMEN. Every day that i read the word of God i am reminded of His power, and the beautiful part he lives within me. I have the power for the Holy Spirit lives within me. When we preach or even...

Today is a day that is easy to just sweep under the rug. I pray that you that hear these words will allow them to sink in and apply them to where we are today.
Luke 4:16-30 In this passage it is talking about Nazareth, where Jesus was brought up. But today I’m applying Nazareth in a since to the USA. I love to read Jesus words in verse 18. ” The Spirit of the Lord is upon...

Part Three of there is Power in Temptation. Just quick recap. A spirit filled life gives us the ability to be lead by the spirit, live by every word of God, serve the one true God and then today. But prior to starting i feel as if i need to as k Is God’s word what you are standing on today? If His Word is not my foundation at all times throughout my day i will FALL. Every time i fall it...

Today another day of power from temptation. Quick recap from yesterday. This is part of having a spirit filled life. We see in Luke 4:1 Jesus was full of the Holy Ghost and was led by the spirit. We need this in our lives today. If we want to overcome temptations and truly serve God we need to be full of the Holy Ghost and led by the spirit. We need to realize that it is the word of God that...

Today what power comes by temptation. O Lord hear our hearts that we may receive that of which you are willing to reveal to us. God is good. i shared yesterday with my brokenness and today i am still in the rebuilding stage. I still pray that you are taken a time or self- examination. But as for today lets see how temptation can be power.
Luke 4:1-4 ” And Jesus being full of the...

Maybe yall don’t get it. Maybe yall don’t believe that I’m real and sincere about these emails. Today i want to let you know that I’m completely broken. I’m a person that holds a lot in but these emails have been my passion for so long because i long to preach the Gospel with all that God has blessed me with. My pastor spoke about Love last night and that that is...

A servant was born and called to prepared he way. John her here in Luke 3:16 paints us yet another picture of what it means to o be a servant of Christ. Remember yesterday that we should heed the ministry of John and make it a statement for our lives as Christians. Well today i think John says a beautiful statement in this verse and i want us to really just take a time of prayer over it today and...

Wow! I am reading in Luke 2:67-80 but our main text will be 77-79. But we are getting the picture of what John’s ministry will be and this is being prophesied by Zacharias, his father. 67-75 should be verses we really take a hold on and just thank God for all that he has done for us. We should remember that God will save you from our enemies, he will perform mercy, he will remember his...

Today is a struggle for me. I have a lot going on. But as i read the Luke 1:26-38 i am able to rejoice. You see we are looking at the picture of Christ. We are told here of the virgin birth that will take place. We are reminded that Elisabeth in her old age is also going to give birth to John. And then verse 37 ” For with God nothing shall be impossible.”

I just want to start with one verse and then we can move on but Luke 1:17. This is an on going message in itself, but i still don’t believe that we are all hearing the message or putting it to action. “And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people...

Today i want to start out with two things. One an apology i had to take a unexpected trip to TN so this is the reason for the lack of emails. 2ND I want to ask you to pray for me. How well this is what I’d like. Pray that my prayer life is so in tune with God that there are times where no words are needed because i am so in love with him i already know. I want to feel this passion in my...

Today the storms continue but in our lesson of Mark 16:1-8 Jesus has risen. Today Christians the storms may continue but our focus once again should be that Jesus has risen, and that one day we will be with Him in Heaven. He said that he went to prepare a place for us that if he prepares a place for us then he would surely come back for us. Why then are we stuck in circumstances? Was Paul stuck in...

Today right at this moment a huge storm is going on. Lightening and thundering and some intense rain. As i sit here and think about how that can apply to my life it becomes so obvious to me. You see we all know that storms are going to come. It may not all come at once some days it may just rain, and others it might just be windy. But the point is we know that it will at some point be a storm or...

Today is going to be a little different. I was reading here in Mark 15:1-14 and it spoke to me similar of what is going on here 2000 plus years later. You see Jesus is put on trial. Whats so different from today. Isn’t he put on trial in all our lives as well as in the whole world. People are casting votes daily on this trial. The thing that amazes me the most is with all that they are...

Today is a day that we all need to hear, for we all have been there. We are going to look at Mark 14:26-31. Quickly I’d like to take you through the first few verses. We see in vs 26 that they just ended up worshiping in Hymns. vs 27 Jesus tells them they will be offended because of him and they will be scattered. vs 28 the beauty of Jesus telling us that he will overcome death (Satan) and...

When i look at today’s text, I ask myself a few things. Today we are reading from Mark 14:12-25. This is a lot of text and can be broken into 3 different lessons but I’d like to briefly put it in to one short lesson as the Holy Spirit guides me. Prior to i ask yall to pray for me. I thank you for your faithfulness and for lifting me up this morning or evening. I trust God does hear...

Today is a tough lesson to swallow in my eyes but has become more and more true over the years. As we look at Mark 14:10-11. We see in the verses that Judas plans to betray Jesus. Vs 10-11 “And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them. And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently...
