Let Go of Control
My friend, one of the best things I’ve learned is to trust God’s timing and His ways. What God promised will come to pass. But it may not happen the way you think, and it may not be when you had planned. If you’re trying to control the outcome and the time frame, you’re going to live worried. You have to release control. You have to let go of having to have it happen your way. Release and Relax God already has what’s upsetting you figured out. He knows the end from the beginning. But here’s the key: He doesn’t give you the details. If you knew how everything was…

Prayer For Men
by Apostle Gabriel Cross Abba God, we (as men) praise and worship You for being our Father of fathers, giving your only Son, and for reconciling us through the sacrifice of your Son. (John 3:16) For everything pertaining to life and godliness, You are the One. (2 Peter 1:3) Lord, we repent for pride in […] Prayer For Men

Rooted and Built Up
You have accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord. Now keep on following him. Plant your roots in Christ and let him be the foundation for your life. Be strong in your faith, just as you were taught. And be grateful. Colossians 2:6-7 Once we have made the decision to walk with Christ; that is to give Him our heart and entire life, it is now our duty to ensure we continue pursuing Him. We are told in Colossians 2:6, to follow Him. To follow means we remain at the back of someone or something allowing this individual or thing to guide or lead us. In this context, when we choose…

First and Foremost
Above all else what we should be focused on the most is building a true and lasting relationship with Abba. There isn’t any other more important relationship. It’s only in the a relationship with God can true successful living spring up. Take the time to build a relationship with Abba if you do not have one and if you do, spend time cultivating this relationship. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:33 NLT Do not get too caught up in the daily routines of this life. This is one way the enemy causes distraction. In order…

Your Strategy is Here
For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Isaiah 41:13 One morning I sat on my living room rug and began to talk to God. I expressed my desires to Him. I needed help and I knew He was the only one who could assist. To be honest I was a little more anxious than I should be even though He already told me “do not be anxious about anything…” What I really should be doing is that second part of the bible verse which states, “ but in every situation, by prayer…

Overcoming Weariness
But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31 NKJV My Friend, weariness comes to all of us, and when you give in to weariness, you lose your passion, strength, and determination to fight the good fight. You won’t soar like an eagle if you’re negative in your thinking. You won’t run and not be weary if you’re focused on your problems, thinking about how impossible something is. What causes your strength to be renewed is when you live with the expectancy that God is in control, when you…

A Position of Power
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Isaiah 26:3, ESV My friend, you may have many reasons for why you get worried, upset, fearful, and not able to sleep at night, but just because it’s around you doesn’t mean you have to let it in. When you’re at peace in your mind, that’s a position of power. If you’re going to keep the clutter out of your mind, you have to know what’s your job and what’s God’s job. Sometimes we’re frustrated because we’re trying to do what only God can do. Some things we can’t fix. You can’t make…

Don’t Chase The Dream
We so very often hear the sayings “Go after your dreams”, “follow your dreams” or “Chase your dreams”. While all these sayings have their place and time, we must be very careful not to use them freely. I can not recall any one moment in scripture where we were ever encouraged to pursue our dreams or even chase after them. Have you? If you have please comment down below for further study on this subject matter. We are encouraged in Matthew 6:33 to seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all His righteousness and all these things will be added unto us. In this one (1) reference, the things we should seek after, pursue…

The Keyring
It’s always interesting to see how everything aligns as I collaborate with God’s plans. About a year ago, I felt led to order a keyring. However the specific design could not be completed and therefore it was placed on hold. A few months later I visited a church and was gifted a keyring. It’s certainly not what I had in mind but as always God’s plans are always perfect. I got a ‘lips’ Keyring instead. Haha. It’s cute though. But what’s even more amazing, is not how dazzling and perky it is, but the verse which was attached to it; “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of…

Abba Keeps His Promises
The Lord kept his word and did for Sarah exactly what he had promised. 2 She became pregnant, and she gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age. This happened at just the time God had said it would. 3 And Abraham named their son Isaac. 4 Eight days after Isaac was born, Abraham circumcised him as God had commanded. 5 Abraham was 100 years old when Isaac was born.6 And Sarah declared, “God has brought me laughter.[a] All who hear about this will laugh with me. 7 Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse a baby? Yet I have given Abraham a son…
