Are You Ready For A Miracle?

Today for our Sunday service at Bethel, we had a guest speaker. I enjoy listening to a lot of preaching. If you ask me who my top five are, you will find the Linder Brothers in my top five. Thus, it was to my great delight when I saw Bro. Robert Linder walk onto the platform. He always gives an encouraging word and like his brother, Pastor Harold Linder, he is guaranteed to make you laugh. That being said, today's sermon was above and beyond the norm. I took notes and I will try my best to share with you a summary of his sermon. I strongly encourage you to watch/listen to it yourself. The entire service, from the songs, to pastor Davis's exhortation, which was amazing as well, to the sermon, was just outstanding. I am pretty sure that was a grammatically incorrect sentence, but I will leave it as it is. You can find the sermon here. Half of me wishes I had not taken notes, because I just wanted to soak up the entire sermon as it was being preached, but I did take notes of most of it. Bro. Linder preached on, "Are You Ready For A Miracle?". His main text was taken from John 5:2-9. We serve a faithful God. His timing is perfect. His ways are perfect. He is merciful. Today is not a good day to give up because God is not going to fail you. He's going to make a way. God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory. He does what man cannot do. Are you ready for a miracle? He that the son has set free is free indeed. He has a life, a hope and a purpose for you. Even when you are still in your challenging season, you can take a step of faith towards God. Believe that He is going to make a way, even if the day is still cloudy and nothing has changed. He will give you a miracle. All the Lord's promises prove to be true. If you are ready, God is ready to do what He has said He would do in your life. Call on Him, reach out to Him, He will answer. Stop looking at the circumstances and start looking unto God. Keep knocking, asking and praying. He will not fail. Tell God you want Him to have His way. Continue to pour out your heart to Him until He does what He said He will do. Mustard seed faith can move mountains. There are seasons where the answer does not come when you want it to come. God's ways are perfect. He has an answer for every situation. Even when sometimes it's no, when you see His yes, it's so much better than what you had been asking for. Jesus can do anything. Are you ready for a miracle?

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
