Blessed are those who hear the Word of God and keep it.

     When hearing the Word of God one may question, Why? How? Why now? In these moments it is best to realize that God doesn't always provide a reason, He simply asks us to do something. Whether we willingly obey Him is up to us. Free will is available to all of us. It is up to us what we do with that gift. Obedience without concern? Disobedience with detriment? As a Believer, this choice is yours. While calling on the Lord for guidance, praying for all concern and trouble to be removed from your mind, is a reasonable request. One might be fearful of the result of such obedience, but the Lord God never fails. He will always provide truth to the lies; aide to the harmed; and serenity for the troubled, in His time. The call to service is profound and never insignificant. One way or another, the Lord will provide a path that leads you to His destination.


Matthew 5:3-16 KJV

3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

The Truth Behind Accepting Jesus Christ Into Your Life.

  Accepting Jesus as one’s Savior is the One and Only way. There is not a dramatic flare that is added to  the process. It is a simple transition between shedding the old and emerging with the new. Some people take advantage of this concept. In their minds, it is more of a “say a few words and I get to go to heaven”. Which we know, as believers, is far from the case.  God does offer the free gift of salvation, yes! Simply, too. (Praise God) However, does He also expect for that individual to be a willing vessel for anything He needs him to do during his time here on Earth? Absolutely, yes! Faith based salvation. Works based life. Not to be mistaken with saying, “works get you into heaven”, because they certainly do not. There is no fooling the Creator of the universe. God knows who means what they say, and who doesn’t. There are MANY individuals who strictly spew words from their mouths, knowing it means absolutely nothing to them. It simply looks “good” to the onlookers....

Come Unto Me.

To whom it may concern: Did you know that God cares? He cares whether you live or die. He cares whether you come to Him or not. He understands your pain, whether you believe in Him or not. Do you know how to be saved? “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:10-13 -UoB

Giving God the Praise that is Due.

  Worship is an integral part in a believer’s walk with the Lord. The desire to praise Him should come naturally after taking that step of faith in deliverance from one’s past life. Not only are the sounds of our praise desired from God, they are loved and appreciated by the Lord above more than we, as believers, could ever comprehend. Not once, will God ever force the act of worship upon us; it is to be a natural action, stemming from the awe we hold for Him and all He has done for us. Never, as believers will He present an act that would not benefit us, in some way. The art of worshipping the Lord, gives us an incomparable opportunity to step into His presence…draw closer to Him…hear His voice…feel Him inside of us, working. “Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭29‬:‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬ -UoB
