Out With The Old

It's the end of 2010 and every year we tell ourselves the same lies that we are done with this mess and that mess only to find ourselves still in bondage to some mess.    The Word of God reads  in Matthew 18:18 (NIV)  “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."  So we can bind and loose and God has our backs.  Bind what and loose what you may ask...  Well here we go.  In the Name of Jesus Christ I bind the spirit of....
1.  Pride and I loose a humble spirit.
2.  Fornication and I loose a pure spirit
3.  Lying and I loose a truthful spirit
4.  Bad habits and loose a spirit to please God
Just to name a few, I'm letting go of everything keeping me from being all that God has called me to be.  I believe that God will open the flood gates of Heaven and pour His blessings out on me, renew my spirit and give life to my dying situations.  I have got to take control of everything corrupting my growth, I acknowledge that my mess is my fault God and I need You to lead me, guide me, and help me out of this place of destruction.  God I am trusting You because there is no other way.
Praise God we made it to the end of another year, we still have time to get it right.

God's Promises For Me

We as believers of God don't know or forget that God's promises are for us.  The enemy sends all types of distractions our way so that we get caught up in how things look.  I wrote a song called "Life and Death" and it's so true, the song is saying we should say what God says when it comes to our life and situations in our life.  If we would take time to read and study our Bible as my Pastor calls the 'Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth' manual, we would be able to stand with our heads held high knowing it's all good.  Here are a few promises to get you headed in the right direction.  My challenge to you and me is to find ourselves a new promise each week, I say week because once we get started I believe we will hunger so after knowing the knowledge of God's will and promises for us that we will search the Word of God daily to hear what "Thus says the Lord".
1.  Protection--Ps. 121:7,8>He will keep me from all harm and watch over my life......
2.  Prayer--Isaiah 65:24>He will answer before I call, while I am still speaking He hears me....
3.  Mercy--Psalm 103:13>He has compassion on me for I fear him.....I respect Him..Love what He loves and hate what he hates.
4.  Love--Proverbs 8:17>He loves me and I can always find Him as I seek Him.....
5.  Blessings--Deuteronomy 11:26-28> He gives me blessings if I obey, but a curse if I disobey. O yeah ya'll knew I wasn't gonna just leave that out right.  These promises are ours and we have to be obedient to receive the blessings with the promise.  Pastor McCormick taught me that too.  Ya'll should really come visit Friendship Full Gospel Baptist Church, nothing but the truth is taught there.  863-682-6361 is the phone number for directions.
God loves each and every one of us, He hates sin.  So find your promise, love your God, and be blessed.  I love you.

Tithe and Offerings

I took the day off yesterday; did ya'll miss me.  I was off from work and I rested.  I went to church Sunday and the time came to give tithes and offering.  I had left my pre-written check home so I was gonna just bring it on next week, but I didn't want to forget.  (didn't want to start pinching from it)  well I wanted to go ahead and put my seed in the ground so I wrote another check.  That was my last, but it's okay because God's word is what I stand on and Malachi 3:10 NIV reads - Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.  Well I went home and was going through my Christmas cards that a sister from church had given me a week ago and guess what, there was a check inside of the card.  Wow!!!  God is awesome, because the next day I went to work and a co-worker blessed me with more cash money.  Standing on the Word of God is all I got.  He said test Him, so that's what I am gonna do.  God's promises are real.  God thank You that I am Your daughter and Your blessings are mine.  I'll be calling Gus later today and finding out if he had a chance to touch up the rough rough draft of the cd that we made.

Change!!!

Greetings;

2 Cor. 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!  It is insane to think that we can hold on to old mess and receive new blessings.  Trust in God and let go of all the old mess, don't hold anything back for just in case.  Trust God completely and watch Him show out for you.  Let go of old hurts, old relationships, old thinking, and old attitudes.  God I know that you will not withhold any good thing from me according to Psalm 84:11, because I walk upright that promise is mine.  So I give my heart to You, and I give my mind to You.  You know what I need.  It's almost the end of the year, this is long overdue.  

I love You Lord

Still Going After This Gift From God

As I had time to rest today and just fellowship with God.  Some things came to me, very clear.   I am currently reading a book titled "A Woman After God's Own Heart" by: Elizabeth George.  It is a wonderful learning tool.  Although I love to write, and sing, and believe that God will bless the works of my hands.  I believe the Spirit of the Lord wanted me to understand that my true gift from Him is my bold way in winning souls for Him.  So I need to make sure  I know that while I am "Going After This Gift From God"  I need to put as much effort into winning souls as I put into writing gospel songs if not more.  I like talking to people about Christ and it brings me joy when I do.  I'm straight up with anyone I meet when it comes to witnessing.  So please don't think that I am giving up on the writing and singing and I will keep you posted on how it is going.  But more of my blogs will be Jesus focused and not Brenda focused.  Thanks Holy Spirit for leading me.  Isn't God sooooo good.  Lord I Give Myself To You, so You Can Use Me.

Merry Christmas Jesus!!!!

Today is December 25, 2010, it's Christmas.  So Merry Christmas Jesus, I love You and I thank You for all You have done, all You are doing, and all that You will do.  Thanks for being born so I may be forgiven.  In my singing voice:  Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday my Dear Jesus, Happy Birthday to You.  Celebrate Jesus today and everyday of your life and find peace that you can't even understand.
Philippians 4: 7 KJV And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Let not your heart be troubled

Hi Friends and Family;

I listened to the CD Gus made of me and well it's not totally trash. I don't really like how I sound on a lot of it though.  It didn't sound so bad while we were recording and listening, it's funny because we were actually talking about something similar to this.  The plan is that he will touch it up as a rough draft and we'll send it off.  I guess it's a rough, rough, draft right now.  After receiving a certificate # for copyrights it's time to go into a studio.  Time to spend the bucks to get it done.  This is all so complicated to me, I feel myself getting frustrated. Then the Spirit of my Lord says Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. John 14:1 KJV 

I will keep on keeping on.  Keep on trusting God.  I can't see what He sees and I most defiantly don't know what He knows.  So I'm just gonna keep saying what God says in His word, Deuteronomy 28:6 - I'm blessed coming and going.  Amen
