This is a special song I heard recently. I think it is a great one. It talks about that even though we are sinners and that we don’t deserve God’s grace, we can come to Him and He will forgive us of everything.
I pray that if you are not saved. . .God will do what seems impossible. . .
I just recently found out about a song by Lecrae ft. For King and Country, and it’s called “Messengers.” This song won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song at the 2015 Grammy Awards. The song is from his album “Anomaly.”
This song is amazing in that it calls us all to get to our feet and preach for Christ, and to look at our lives from a different lens and viewpoint. Time is short, but work is much. We must do what do calls us to do.
So without further ado. . .
I shall announce only this. . .
It’s Independence Day, everyone!
This is my first Fourth of July here on WordPress, so I’m very excited to move on with this post. Today we celebrate 250 years since the Declaration of Independence was first signed. We call ourselves the United States of America, and we celebrate the freedom of all men.
But are we truly united?
There has been a past history of violence, war, bloodshed, discrimination, superiority, and inferiority. Slave traders, emperors who have exploited their people, and soldiers who gave their lives for our freedom still remain in the timeline of our history. And even now, with the sudden popularity of abortion, racism, and LGBTQ+, it makes me wonder. . .have we ever actually gotten anywhere with our so-called unitedness? Have we actually accomplished our goal of “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness?”
Somehow, I don’t think we have.
What happened to the days of presidency, when you could not be elected unless you were a true Christian?
What happened to those who believed life was sacred and protected unborn babies from being so ruthlessly murdered?
What happened to the pastors who truly longed to protect their flocks from the evil doctrines of Satan that could potentially creep into their churches and break their congregations?
What happened to those who believed God commanded marriage to be between one man and one woman for one lifetime?
So tell me, reader. . .are we united?
The answer is no.
In no way are we united.
We are all disunited.
We have lost the true purpose and meaning of our life. . .Jesus Christ.
He gave us freedom when we were slaves to sin.
He washed us when we were stained with sin.
He loved us even when we hated Him.
So why are we being immoral and corruptible to His laws? Do our own sick pleasures and morals really mean that much to us? Just look around! Babies are being killed because no one cares for the sanctity of human life. Diseases are rapidly spreading and killing those who are involved in immoral relationships because they never cared enough to read their Bibles. Presidents and government leaders are calling good evil and evil good.
What’s happened to our nation?!
I’ll tell you.
“We the People of the United States have personally rejected Jesus as our King and care nothing for His laws or statutes. We wish to do as we feel and think and it does not matter how we hurt others or ourselves. Our only purpose in life is to enjoy today because we do not know if we will wake up alive tomorrow.”
And there you have it.
If we want to be united, we have to work together to be united, people!
Otherwise. . .
What’s the point of being the United States?
~
If we want to be united, we must serve the One Who allowed our nation to be free in the first place.
Happy Fourth of July, everyone!
God bless!

One of the first songs I heard from famous Christian song artist Katy Nichole is “In Jesus’ Name (God of Possible.)” When I was younger, I assumed it was referring to physical healing, and it does in a sense. But as I got older, I learned it referred to so much more. . .
The song is a prayer for all who are struggling, whether it be physical, mental, or emotional struggles. it reminds us that God is still working and will heal if it be His will; we just have to trust in Him and let Him carry all our burdens instead of trying to lug them around ourselves.
I pray for all who are going through hard times. . . .May the Lord change your situation if He wills it. . .
Today, I have officially passed 1000 all-time views here on WordPress, thanks to many who have visited and subscribed.
It’s hard to believe this blog was started back in February, and now it’s June? Crazy how fast time flies. But I am excited that many are loving this site, and moreso the love of God. I pray all will see the truth of the gospel through this blog, and that they will not merely be hearers of the Word, but doers as well!
God bless all!
Sometimes. . .
Life can drag you down.
Hard.
To the point where you can’t seem to even breathe anymore.
Sometimes. . .
You wonder if God is even listening.
If He cares.
If he loves.
Sometimes. . .
Those who doubt walk away.
But in the long run. . .
Without God. . .
Then never feel better.
They lose hope.
They despair.
They wonder what went wrong in their life.

Pain is not meant to make anyone feel unloved or uncared for.
Pain is meant to bring us closer to the One Who designated that pain for a reason.
And sometimes love means walking through the fire. . .
Even when it hurts.

If anyone is out here reading this, prayers for Eileen Guyadeen and her daughter, Victoria. I discovered this site through Willie Torres Jr’s prayer chain and subscribed to her blog.
I vowed to pray for her daughter and for her in every way I could.
And I do. Still.
But every message she wrote as of recently didn’t seem to reflect any faith in Christ. . .
Just despair.
But I still prayed, because I believe truly that God can make a difference if He wishes.
But the post above that I recently read. . .it just doesn’t fly with me. . .
I can get her feelings. I can definitely get it. I’ve been in the valley myself lots of times.
I lost my brother a long time ago; I almost died twice as a young kid; there are many in my hometown who hate me for I-don’t-know-what. And I get bothered when stuff like that happens. Sometimes I question God. Sometimes I get angry. Sometimes I want to vent my frustration but don’t know how.
But pain, though it is real and profound, is not unexpected, neither is it purposeless.
Did Jesus ever say we would escape pain? No.
Did Jesus ever promise us an easy life filled with sunshine and rainbows? No.
And yet, many people who identify as Christians believe that.
And they get frustrated or upset with God when something bad happens.
Especially if it’s been going on for years.
A rare disease.
Unresolved trauma.
The ghost of one’s past still haunting their present self.
But that doesn’t mean God doesn’t see.
Because He does.
A long time ago, my family was going through something terrible. My father was hospitalized, and everyone was frightened, including me.
But through that long week of waiting, sleeplessness, and the day of surgery, I discovered something very odd that never again have I really felt.
I knew my father would not die.
I don’t know how I knew. But I did.
My mother was worried he would die, and I remember repeatedly telling her he would make it out. I recall saying it with confidence, because I knew. It was as if something or Someone was telling me he would not die.
And I figured it was the Holy Spirit reassuring me, telling me he would make it out alive.
And he did, thank God!
Pain matters because it is what strengthen our faith in our Father (if we believe) and it is what draws those to God (if we don’t believe). The Enemy will trick us into believing pain is meant as punishment, but that is not always the case.
Sometimes pain is meant for something better. We may not know what it is, but we know God has a plan behind all suffering. We just have to wait for His timing and see what it is.
Sometimes pain is meant to draw straying people closer to the One Who endured horrible pain on the cross to win the victory over Hell and redeem us all forever!
(Go to this link to learn more about what the Bible says about pain.)
If anyone is acquainted with Eileen and Victoria, reach out and let them know I care, even if no one else does. (link to her blog: quietmomentswithgodblog.wordpress.com).
Pain may be unbearable. . .
But losing faith is not an option.
God bless, Eileen and Victoria.
In times of pain. . .
You might bend. . .
But if you trust in God. . .
You will never break.
Wait for His timing. . .
And He will reveal His plan.
He is God Almighty. . .
He died for us.
We should be willing to wait for His timing. . .
Because. . .
He knows us better than we know ourselves.
Amen.
