Verse of The Day

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”- Romans 8:38-39

Although things come your way to distract you and draw you away from him, if you keep your eyes on God and love him all your heart then there is nothing that can take you away from him. Yes you may fail in your walk and come across some bumps but you just learn from them, get up, re adjust yourself, look forward and keep on going! I hope you enjoyed this post. Have a Uniquely awesome day. GOD BLESS.

*REMEMBER: Put GOD first ALWAYS!

Daniel Fast

I am ready to embark upon another journey of fasting and praying. My church has called a 21 day fast this month as have many other churches around the country. It is our new year fast. We started Yesterday January 10, 2010 and we will end January 31, 2010. If you are not familiar with what a fast is, it basically consist of one ridding themselves of themselves (selfeshness, wants etc) and allowing God to fill you with more of him. There are different types of fast that you can do. The most common fast is no food only water. And what it basically means is that we are getting rid of our fleshly desires such as food because what food does is satisfy your flesh. So now that we are not pleasing our flesh by feeding it foods and other things, we now allow ourself to be completely emptied to be filled with more of God by fasting and praying and reading our bibles. The daniel fast is not as hard as a strict water only fast. But we are able to eat fruits and veggies. For a full list of foods you can eat please visit http://danielfast.wordpress.com . Not only is this necessary to gain a closer relationship with Christ but it is also very healthy. It is not a diet and we dont take it as a diet but I must say that naturally there are added benefits. We are doing this fast to start praying for things we want to see happen this new year. Not only for our church but for ourselves as well. Alot of prayers will be answered during this 21 day fast. A lot of lives will change during this 21 day fast. They key to fasting is staying in prayer. When those little urges come about to eat some meat, or junk food, or drink something other than water prayer is what gets you through it. Pray for strength & endurance. Ask God to fill you with more of him where there seems to be a need for something else. This fast can be easy if you just stay in prayer and reading your bible. Stay focused. Keep away from sin, arguing, negativity and anything else that can defeat the whole purpose of the fast and truley your life shall be blessed. If you are a believer I encourage you to do this fast. If you are not a believer and would like to accept Jesus Christ into your heart, in my very first post there is a prayer you can say. If you truley mean it then your life will be blessed and your name will be written in the book of life. I am looking forward to this fast more than ever. Today is the first full day of fasting and so far so good. I have eaten a Banana and an apple and am about to eat an orange. For Dinner I am thinking a pot of beans and possibly some potatoes. I will blog again tomorrow of my progress and my daily meals for those who want to try this fast and gain some ideas. Thank you for taking the time to read this blog. Have a great day and GOD BLESS. :0)

Tis' the Season

Christmas time! Need I say more? This is definitley my favorite time of the year even more than my birthday. You give and you receive! But keep in mind its not all about the receiving, although it is nice, it's not what the Holiday is about. God blessed this earth whith Jesus during this special holiday. And we celebrate the Birth of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Thank God for sending us his Son who eventually died on the Cross for our sins. Now those who have accepted Jesus Christ into their Hearts are set free of all iniquities. We are promised a new life in him. That my friends is the greatest Gift anyone can receive. If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and are SICK AND TIRED of being SICK AND TIRED then guess what, I have great news for you. You are just a Prayer away from eternal salvation and a new life in him. Give God a try and he will never let you down. If you want to accept Jesus into your life just say this simple prayer:

Lord, I come to you with an open heart and an open mind and I ask for your forgiveness of my sins. I know you are the author of life and I believe that you died on the cross for my sins. I ask you today to come into my heart and direct my path from here on out. I cant do it on my own so I am turning to you for guidance and direction. I will live my life from this day forward with a clean slate and a new positive outlook on life. Thank you for never giving up on me. I love you and I praise you. In the name of Jesus AMEN.

If you truley meant that prayer with all of your heart and you are wanting to change then I encourage you to look for a good church near you and get fed the word of God. Bond with people in the church as those are going to be the people who will lift you up when you are down. They will pray with you and be there every step of the way. I suggest if you are young or a teen that you look for a church with a good Youth ministry. If you are a college student and young adult I suggest you find a church that has people your age who can relate to the things you are going through and who you can mesh with. If you prayed that prayer I would love to hear from you. Leave me a comment even as simple as I prayed the prayer. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Pray that your new life in Christ is filled with Joy, Happiness, Health and Wealth. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. GOD BLESS
