JUST ENOUGH for The Journey - Overcomers

IT'S FRIDAY and for most, Friday signifies the end of the work week.

Overcomers, let's celebrate the end because of how we prepared, declared and faired at the beginning of our week! We spoke victory before we ever faced the challenge. We saw the blessing before it completed its work. We picked confidence and never considered concern. We were focused and not confused as to how we would succeed.

Overcomers have a heart, the conviction and the mindset of overcoming even before the challenge presents itself.

Like Caleb, we are Overcomers because The God we serve enables us to be victorious in Him!

I declare again this morning that we shall overcome this weekend because we are Overcomers that overcomes so we don't fear for we already know the outcome of what we will overcome!! (Say that again if you can...LOL 😉)!!!

Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” (Numbers 13:30 NKJV)

JUST ENOUGH for The Journey - Getting Past "NO"

My assignment is to share The Good News (The Gospel of Jesus Christ) as best I can and in as many ways that I can. My task on my assignment is to get you past your "No".

1.) I aim to tell you repeatedly of the love of The Lord and of His goodness towards us.

2.) I will preach His Word in such a way that you will understand the depth of His grace, mercy, forgiveness and faithfulness for you.

3.) I will teach with passion on how He has come to rescue you and how He so desperately wants to lift you off of the salvage heap that the enemy has placed us on because of sin.

4.) I will reach the least, the lost and even inside of prison walls to present and introduce you to Jesus!

I've said "Yes" to get you past "No" and I will make good on my assignment! My assignment is to you brother and to you sister, no matter "where" you might be in life.

Jesus sees you where you are and He knows all about your situation. He has asked, "whom shall I send?", and I've answered, "Here Am I, SEND ME."

I pray that you will get past "No" and say YES to Jesus before your eyes close for the last time in this life. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

JUST ENOUGH for The Journey - This Day

TODAY. You will get out of it, what you put into it. Plan little, then expect little. Ignore the significance of this day and this day will be for you, insignificant. Dismiss The Almighty God, then you will face the evil planned against you unprotected. 

 Want to change; NO, NEED A CHANGE? Start your day by asking God to be a part of your day. Ask Him to go with you today. Ask Him to help you today. Trust Him in your life today. Believe in His love and concern for your day. Surrender all that you are to Him today. 

Pray today: Lord, I need Your forgiveness, Your mercy, Your grace and Your love in my life. I can't make it another day living outside of Your Will and Purpose for my life. I confess Jesus as my Lord, Savior and Friend on this day. Cleanse me from the inside out and order my steps. Today, accept me into the Body of Christ and make my name known in Heaven as you write my name in The Book of Life. In Christ Jesus, I renounce all activities and beliefs that contradict Your Holy Word and I receive Your Holy Spirit to lead me on the path of right living. In the matchless name of Your Son, Jesus Christ I pray. Amen. 

Sermon: "Take it, Cast it and Let it Become" Exodus 7:8-9 NKJV

JUST ENOUGH for The Journey - Zodiac Signs, Astrology, Palm Reading, Ouija Boards and Crystal Balls?? Gobbledygook!!

Christians DON'T Follow Signs,  Signs FOLLOW Christians!!

"And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;  they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”(Mark 16:17-18 NKJV)

JUST ENOUGH for The Journey - LOVE: Have it; Give it; Show it!

My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.  By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” (I John 3:18; John 13:34-35 NKJV)

Have a Lovely and Loving weekend!

JUST ENOUGH for The Journey - CHRISTIANS DON'T BELIEVE IN FATE, WE BELIEVE IN THE LIVING GOD!

Horoscope or Astrology is defined as a forecast of a person's future, typically including a delineation of character and circumstances, based on the relative positions of the stars and planets at the time of that person's birth.

The idea behind Astrology or fortune-telling is the idea of a "fixed fate", an unchanging future that is already laid out and cannot be changed. This not scriptural!

Satan has deceived people into thinking that they can know the future. In his cleverness, he has many "fooled" into believing "what will be, will be", and in doing so, this "foolishness" by "foolish" folks have "fooled" themselves into "falling" for a "fatalistic" attitude toward life!

We serve a Loving, Living, Life-changing God! He changes our residence from hell to Heaven. He changes our status from sinner to Saint. He changes our torment to Triumph. He changes our relationships from severed to Stong. He changes our pity to Praise and our worry to Worship!

As Christians we are not bound by fate, we are Victorious, Blessed, Favored, Renewed, Revived, Powerful, Perfected, Promoted, Lifted, Gifted, Healed, Restored and Protected by THE FATHER!!!

Don't be FOOLED by your daily "Horror-scope", this is witchcraft controlled by Satan. You were created by a creative God to be a creative Being made in His image and in His likeness. Fate is a negative connotation which means events that are beyond your control, yet Christ said that He has come so that you may have LIFE and not only life, but an ABUNDANT LIFE!

Today and every day claim victory in Christ Jesus and don't fall for the trickery of the Devil. No man can tell me what God has in store for my day or for my life! I get my daily bread, my strength and my hope from God. BTW, if you truly want to affect your future in a positive way, receive Christ and then everything about you will change!

"There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or  one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord , and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you. You shall be blameless before the Lord your God." (Deuteronomy 18:10-13 NKJV)

JUST ENOUGH for The Journey - Sheep

As you may already know, Sheep are easily distracted and susceptible to being mislead because they will follow anything aimlessly. There was a printed article that I found online this morning concerning a Herd of Sheep that followed one Sheep that aimlessly walked off of a cliff to its death below. One Sheep after another followed that Sheep over the cliff. The first couple hundred, approx. 450 died, yet approx. 1,000 in all plunged over the cliff only to be cushioned by the furry pile that had stacked beneath them. This Herd had no Shepherd to watch after them to steer them away from the cliff, to prevent them from wandering aimlessly and to lead them to pastures and not danger.

Bottomline, Shepherdless Sheep wander and follow one another without direction; without purpose; and without protection. My question to all who are reading this post is, "Are you following the crowd or are you following Jesus?"

Following the crowd can and will lead you into dangers that you aren't able or prepared to handle. Following the crowd suggests that you take on the identity of the crowd...you are just another Sheep, not the unique, loved, blessed and gifted Man or Woman of God that was created in God’s image and in God's likeness...no you are just Sheep.

When you and I follow the true Shepherd, He knows you by name. He knows your uniqueness, your ways and He keeps you from straying! Our Shepherd, Jesus, The Christ not only leads and cares, He also protects and promises safety both now and for all eternity!

Sheep need a Shepherd - You need a Savior! The True Shepherd is also The Savior. He will not let you be lost and He will not let you be destroyed. He has never lost one or has He allowed one to be snatched from His love and protection! Become of His Flock today!

"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.  And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.  My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.  I and My Father are one.” (John 10:25-30 NKJV)

JUST ENOUGH for The Journey - Encourager; Be Encouraged!

There are those who have been gifted to champion the lives; to aide in the promotion of those lives; and to strive for the success of the lives that they are assigned to. However, those who encourage must also be strong in the operation of this gift as the enemy would want to turn your gift into your curse.

What I'm saying is that the Devil is clever to use your gift against you. Remember, encouragement is something that YOU are gifted to do; not everyone operates in this gift. So, don't be duped when you find encouraging others is easily done by yourself, but this same encouragement is not reciprocal in your own life by others. Don't ever stop encouraging just because you yourself are not being encouraged.

Keep on blessing others and keep on helping others...and if need be encourage yourself! I did this morning by the scripture that I've read and am now sharing with other Encouragers!

"The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped." (Proverbs 11:25 MSG)

JUST ENOUGH for The Journey - Sooner or Later...

I don't want anyone to be ignorant; NO, I need to ensure that I say this while YOU still have an opportunity to change the course of YOUR eternal life that will be spent either in The Kingdom of Heaven with God or in the dungeon of Hell with the Fallen.

Sooner or Later you will breathe your last breath. The great equalizer that ignores socioeconomic status, educational achievements, prestige, popularity, poverty, illness, isolation, addiction...whatever and wherever you are this morning is DEATH. We will all, Sooner or Later face this stark reality, we will all face death. However, some of us will never intimately KNOW death, meaning that we will transition from this life to the next. True death is the absence and separation from God. Therefore, there will be others who will KNOW death intimately, spiritually and eternally. The only way to pass through death and to not get captured by death is to be in The One who has conquered death...Jesus, The Christ! You can deny Him again this morning, thinking to yourself that this is all just foolishness and that "You Got You", but you must know that you will have to kneel before Him in judgment...Sooner or Later.

**No one will be in the Kingdom of Heaven except through Jesus Christ.**

"Sooner or later we’ll all have to face God, regardless of our conditions. We will appear before Christ and take what’s coming to us as a result of our actions, either good or bad." (2 Corinthians 5:10 MSG)

JUST ENOUGH for The Journey - My PURPOSE is far greater than my Popularity!

I don't use social media to get "Likes" or flattering comments, but I use social media as a vehicle to share my joy, hope and love that I have in Christ Jesus. You see, God has given me my assignment, my life now has purpose and my purpose has significance as both my assignment and purpose is to share with YOU The GIFT of eternal life in Christ Jesus!

I agree and stand on what the Apostle Paul wrote in the Book of Acts, "What matters most to me is to finish what God started: the job the Master Jesus gave me of letting everyone I meet know all about this incredibly extravagant generosity of God." (Acts 20:24 MSG)

This is why I do what I do...'Nuff said 😉

JUST ENOUGH for The Journey - What is the Name of Your Thief?

What is it that has entered into your life that is taking away from you so much? What is it that is robbing you of integrity, reputation and relationships? Does your enemy, the Thief, disguise himself as an addiction or does he come as something that you desire and lust after? Does the Thief manifest through lies, slander and ridicule of others? The Thief is clever and the Thief is busy! The Thief has come and he remains with the sole purpose to Kill, Steal and Destroy all hope; all faith; and all relationships with The Almighty God.

God's response - Jesus! Jesus has come to give us life and more than that, He has come to give us an abundant life. The awesomeness of this abundant life is that it is both immediate and eternal.

Expose the Thief, arrest him and put him away! Get your joy back, get your peace back, get your hope, dreams, reputation, relationships, integrity back...get your life back and get it restored to the abundance that can only be obtained in Christ Jesus! Oh yeah, it's both immediate and eternal and Jesus will do it right now.

Pray: Jesus, come into my life to be my Lord and my Savior. I surrender all to You. Amen.

That's it...that's all. May you accept salvation right now and right where you are and stop being robbed of the greatness that is abundantly yours in Christ Jesus.

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. (John 10:10 NKJV)

JUST ENOUGH for The Journey - Pray Without Ceasing

These 3 words you hear often in the church because this is what the church is meant to do. A lot of people ask how does a person continually maintain prayer. I smile when I think about this because I just want to say to them that it's not so much on "How", but more of "Why" are we told to pray without ceasing!

For me, it's hard to be Anointed and Balanced at times! Some days you want to treat people how they've been treating you. Some days you want to cuss folks out. Some days you want to tell folks off. Hey, I'm just being real. Without prayer or as I would say, "it's time for me to take a spiritual timeout", I'd probably follow through (more often) on some of these things...not on some days, but nearly every day. I said more often, because there are times when I'm not as strong and I flip out! So, I must pray!

Start your day with prayer and pray throughout your day, so that "some days" won't be your day today.

"Pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17 NASB)

JUST ENOUGH for The Journey - Prayer, it's what this day calls for!

God says, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV)

Today

I'm Praying today. There is so much to pray for and so many of my brothers and sisters who are in need of prayer.

If you would like to be added to my prayer list, respond to this message saying, "Add Me". If you will join me in praying for others, respond by saying, "Amen".

This is not about the number of responses, but for those who are sincerely seeking God for family, situations or self. I will receive your requests all day and will be in prayer by 7pm this evening.

Blessings for your day.

JUST ENOUGH for The Journey - It is not dead, it's only asleep!

So many restless and sleepless nights we have had in our lives over family and over situations that we have given up on. We look at our circumstances and begin to weep and wail over them, we feel helpless and we mourn and hang our heads and oftentimes we feel as though our hope and dreams have died along with our relationships or we have a defeatist attitude because our situation appears lifeless, our ambitions seem dormant and our aspirations have faded to nothing. We simply assume that it is dead!

But I've come to share with you The Word of God, which is The Word of Truth, The Word of Promise and The Word of Love, Life, Joy, Peace and Hope. The Word let's us know:

·         Jesus is the way, the truth and the life

·         Jesus has been given all authority in heaven and on the earth

·         Jesus is the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth shall never die.

Have you come to Jesus, bringing to Him that thing that you feel or have believed is dead? If not, why not? Hear of a man, a ruler whose daughter died, yet he sought Jesus and asked Jesus to come into his home to lay His hands on a dead situation and watch what happened. The same is still true today. When we invite Jesus into our homes, into our lives and into our situations life is restored, relationships are healed, situations are rectified and favor is granted.

Don't give up, just look up!


While He spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped Him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay Your hand on her and she will live.” So Jesus arose and followed him, and so did His disciples. When Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd wailing, He said to them, “Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping.” And they ridiculed Him. But when the crowd was put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. (Matthew 9:18-19, 23-25 NKJV)
