When I See The Blood

 What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.  Today, Bro. Jonathan Walker preached on, "When I See The Blood". His main text was taken from Exodus 12:12-14 and Romans 5:8-9.  I like it when Bro. Walker preaches because he more often than not uses a prop and being the Bible Quizzer extraordinare that he is, uses scriptures from the Old Testament and the New Testament.  I will do my best to share with you my notes. I strongly recommend that you watch/view it here. During Bro. Walker's sermon, he gave reference to Bro. Loammi Diaz's sermon from last week and encouraged everyone to listen to it again.  The link to watch that is here.  Bro. Walker preached today about the blood of Jesus. His focus was on when Moses instructed the people to take Hyssop and dip it into a bowl that had blood from a spotless lamb in it. They were to use the hyssop to place the blood over their doorpost. In doing so the firstborns who were in the house would not die. As Bro. Walker preached he had a live Hyssop plant on the pulpit and placed leaves from the plant and had them in a bowl. It was a great visual to bring his sermon to life.  We are redeemed by the blood of the lamb. Jesus shed his blood for us on calvary. His blood washes us white as snow.  When you speak the name of Jesus, his blood is attached to the name. When you pray the blood of Jesus over your family you are invoking the power of calvary and the power of the empty tomb into your situation. When you plead the blood, healing becomes activated in peoples lives. Deliverance from anything becomes activated in your life. The blood also provides protection. The name of Jesus is a banner and when you plead the blood you are pleading his protection over yours and your families life. Bro. Walker invited families to come up and pray together.  If you are a follower of Christ, I encourage you to walk through your home speaking the name of Jesus and pleading the blood over your families. In our present day and age, that might be frowned upon. However, I truly believe the same power that was applied to what we read in the Bible is still true today. Pray over your children every day. Pray over your day. If you are not a believer and this is a strange concept for you. I encourage you to find a church that believes in the Acts 2:38 message. Go where they baptize in the saving name of Jesus. There is power in that name. God is good.

The Sound OF Freedom-My Story

Image
 The Sound Of Freedom was released into the movie theaters on July 4th 2023. A friend made me aware of it. I decided to watch it. It's based off of a true story of a brother and sister who were rescued from child sex trafficking. This is not a movie you take young children to. I do strongly recommend that every person who is old enough, to go and watch it. This is very real and it's happening in your world. I think it's time we wake up. Why is this so important to me?  Let me tell you a little of my story. My birth dad abused me as a child. He was also a part of a drug trafficking ring. He was also a part of child sex trafficking. He did this all while being a faithful saint and minister in the church. When I was in 5th grade, I started fighting back and slept with a baseball bat by my bed. He decided he didn't like that and one day he picked me up from school and took me for a very long drive. This was before cell phones. He didn't say a word, he just drove. Eventu

One Month

Image
 RJ and I have officially lived in NC for one month. The people here are very kind and nice. Southern food is absolutely delicious. I can easily find a good place to buy a delicious taco. Coffee places are aplenty. It’s been wonderful to reconnect with old friends and even more wonderful to make new friends. Soon, I will start teaching and RJ will enter into 12th grade. We are currently looking at colleges. I can’t believe we have come to this stage in life. We miss our friends and family in NY. We especially miss Bethel. Our new church home is a gift. I am so thankful for them. Slowly NC is starting to feel like home.  God is good.

When Grief Rolls In

Image
 Grief can rise from the most unexpected times and places. In December, it will be a year that our beloved Sis. Vickie went home to be with the Lord. She has been on my mind a lot lately. Today, as my son and I were cleaning the church, he asked me about washing the baseboards in the foyer. I had a playlist playing on my phone and as he asked, the song changed to a song that Sis Vickie often referred to believing God was going to heal her of ALS.  I just stood in the foyer, mop in hand, and tears started streaming down my face. I remembered finding her on her hands and knees cleaning the baseboards so that it would be clean for a Sunday service. I remembered getting on my knees with her to help. She taught me almost everything she knew. She was going to teach me how to remove the light bulbs from the ceiling, but we never got around to it. She loved Bethel. She prayed fervently for the saints who filled the pews. She wept for those who no longer attended. She taught me how to forgive a
