Psalm 122:1-9 Glad To Enter The Lord's House

Psalm 122:1-9 I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of the Lord.” 2 Our feet shall stand within your gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is designed for a multitude, 4 where the tribes go up,  the tribes of the Lord, as a decree of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord. 5 There are set thrones of judgment,
 the thrones of the house of David.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you!
7 Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!” 8 For my brothers and companions’ sake, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good.

Let us enter the lord's house with gladness on today for He is a good God and worthy to be praised.

God bless.

Psalm 46:10A Call To Be Still

Psalm 46:10a-Be still and know that I am God.

Stillness of mind is what's being commanded on today.  A rest in the SPIRIT with confidence of who our God is and what He is able to do on our behalf.

Are you troubled in your mind? Is the ocean of your life rising? Is the storm in your life raging and the thunder seems to continue to roar without any relief in your life? 

People of God, "be still" for God declares that He, the Great "I Am" is God and besides Him there is no other.

Yes, the Lord our God give us an assurance on today that we can take courage in Him, regardless of what is going on in our lives.

The command to the people of God is to be "still". This does not mean stop and do nothing. But what it does mean is to be still in your spiritual position with Christ. Be still spiritually. Stay calm! Trust God and obey.

Be still! Let the focus of our minds be on things above.

Colossians 3:2-4 Set your affection on things above, not on things on earth. 3 For you are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life shall appear, then you also shall appear with Him in glory.

The mind is the battlefield that the enemy uses to do his best work against us. The mind is what God uses also to do His greatest work in and through us if we will let Him.

We all have a choice on today to either listen to God who knows all about us and what is best for us or listen to the voice of the enemy who is trying to not only destroy our minds, but also our souls and our future.

Today, there is a call from heaven to the people of God to "BE STILL" and know that "I AM", the Lord is God of the universe.

Our God is the Sovereign God of the universe. A Mighty Warrior who is GREAT in battle.

BE STILL! The Lord our God is a very present help in trouble.

HIM ABLE!

God bless.

Romans 14:11 EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW

Romans 14:11 - For it is written: “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

KNEE=gonu in the greek and means  the knee, to bend the knees, kneel down, of persons supplicating.

BOW=sugkuptó in the greek and means to bend forwards, bow down.

The Word of God prophecy today that EVERY KNEE SHALL bow and every tongue WILL acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord.

In a world where evil and evil doers are prevalent, the Word of God STILL rings true. The day of reckoning WILL come! Yes, the day is coming when the calculations of our life will be added up.

Like a bill or account settlement,  the life we ALL lived will be rewarded according to how we live it, be it good or evil on the day of our one on one encounter as we kneel down and bow before Christ.

Revelation 15:4 Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. All nations shall come and worship before You, for Your judgments have been revealed.

We are reminded in Philippians 2:9-11 Therefore God highly exalted Him and gave Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Acts 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.

Daily we make choices and the reality is "EVERY KNEE' will bow.

What our day before Christ shall reveal is up to us. 

VICTORY BELONGS TO JESUS!

God bless

Isaiah 53:5 Jesus Took Our Place

Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities;the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his stripes we are healed.

WOUNDED=plégé in the greek and mean a blow, wound, stripe; an affliction, plague.

TRANSGRESSION=paraptóma in the greek and mean a false step, a trespass. A falling away, lapse, slip, false step, sin.

We are reminded in this text of Christ purpose for coming. He came to suffer and die for humanity and not for any sins of His own, but for you and I who willfully sinned against God and transgressed against His law.

Yes, God in His love and mercy for humanity sent His Son Jesus to earth to take our place on the cross at Calvary by shedding His blood as full payment for our sins.

Romans 5:18 Therefore just as through the trespass of one man came condemnation for all men, so through the righteous act of One came justification of life for all men.

Jesus was whipped, spat on, beaten and pierced with a thorny crown on His head, pierced with nails in his hands and feet and hung on a wooden Cross as a vile criminal.

Jesus took our place! He did it just for us!

Jesus death at the cross is "LOVE" that can not be described or fully comprehended, but, it is a "LOVE"  that MUST be embraced by ALL of humanity.

Our sins for His RIGHTEOUSNESS! Oh what an exchange!

Jesus alone has the power to heal you and I and make us whole again!

People of God open wide your mouth and proclaim these words in worship to the Lord your God: JUST FOR ME, JUST FOR ME.

Keep saying it out loud and I know without a doubt that God through His Holy Spirit will show up immediately and visit you.

Just for me! Jesus came and did it just for me!

Thank You Lord!

Psalm 32:8 Keep Me In Your Will Lord

Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye on you.

Is God's will for your life, your will for your life? If not, it should be!

Believe it or not, as much as we think that we know what we need and what is best for us, WE DO NOT KNOW! If we did, Jesus would not have had to come to earth and die for us.

God alone is God and He does not need help from man. He uses man for His glory but He does not need man. We need Him!

There is a powerful song that is sung by Jessica King called "Keep me in your will".

We do not know what is best for us, only God knows that!

Let's listen to the lyrics  of this song that should speak to the heart of ALL of us concerning the will of God for our lives.

This song drives home the point of "self will" vs the "will of God" for ALL of our lives. This lyrics to this song describes ALL of us.

Sometimes I think I'm in control And I act so foolishly Facing problems on my own I don't know what's best for me My mistakes at times disturb All the plans You have made Lord keep me in Your will So I won't be in Your way

Put me where You want to and NOT where I want to be.  If I should ask for things I want give me what I need.

When I complain from time to time Forgive me, Lord I pray.

Keep me in Your will so I won't be in Your way. Remind me Lord, I'm just a glove In which You place Your hands.  Not my will but Yours be done.

The best laid plans I've made somehow always go astray. Lord keep me in Your will So I won't be in Your way.

I need you dear Lord each and every single day to keep me in Your will So I won't be in Your way.  

Keep me in your will Lord so I won't be in the way of your "work" that you have begun in me and promises to complete until you return.

People of God is the will of God for you life is where you want to be? If you answered yes, ask Him to "keep you in His will so you too won't be in His way."

If we stay in the will of God for our lives He promises to not only instruct us and teach us in the way we you should go, but, to keep His eyes upon us also.  

Lord, keep me in Your will so I won't be in your way!

God is the greatest teacher and guide instructor. There is none like Him nor will there ever be one like Him. He is the Sovereign God of the universe!

Thank you Lord for keeping me in your will.

Psalm 100:1-5 Make A Joyful Noise Unto The Lord

Psalm 100:1-5 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth! 2 Serve the Lord with gladness;come before His presence with singing. 3 Know that the Lord, He is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.

4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise; be thankful to Him, and bless His name. 5 For the Lord is good; His mercy endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations.

Let all creation make a joyful noise unto the Lord!

God bless.

Romans 8:38-39 Never Separated

Romans 8:38- 39 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities nor powers, neither things present nor things to come, 39 neither height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The Apostle Paul declares in this text that regardless of what he has suffer, what he may be suffering or what he may suffer in the future, he is convinced that God is with him and He is never separated from God's love.

Paul listed some of the circumstances of life that may appear to make us believe that God is not with us, but, even in them, we must believe and know without wavering in our faith, that God is forever with His people.

Trouble is common and very common among the people of God, but even in the midst of them we have no need to fear for God is with us.

People of God, regardless of what we face as we go through life, nothing we face is able to come between us and the love of God.

If you are not connected to God through Christ and He is not in you, it's not too late for you if you still have breath in your body. Yes, if you are still alive the promises of God can personally become yours also starting right now.

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

People of God, we have a blessed assurance on today of God's ever presence love for us in Christ in ALL of life's affairs.

God bless.

1 John 4:9 Fourth Sunday Advent LOVE Candle

1 John 4:9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

The lighting of the 4th advent candle took place today in churches around the world.

What’s “LOVE” got to do with it? Everything! Go and share it with those you encounter from this day forward.

The "LOVE" candle signifies God’s perfect love for humananity that is shown through the gift of His Son, Jesus.

Just as the angels brought "good tidings of great joy," we are called to share that love through kindness, forgiveness, and service.

What is love? Love is a fruit of the Spirit. God is LOVE! It is not that we love God, but He loved us first!

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends," (Jn. 15:13, NIV)

Happy 4th Advent Sunday!

God bless you all!

Isaiah 9:6-7 PEACE Is The 2nd Sunday Word For Advent

Isaiah 9:6-7 For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end.

Welcome to the Second Sunday of Advent, which focuses on Peace. Last week our theme focused on the candle of HOPE. It was a reminder to us all that Hope (Jesus Christ) has come, and He is coming again.

Today, December 7, 2025, at my church, Mt. Moriah Missionary Baptist Church, and other churches around this nation, and the world, the second advent candle of PEACE was lit.

The Candle of “PEACE” reminds us that Christ, the Prince of Peace, came to bring peace to a troubled world in the most unexpected ways, when he arrived.

Hundreds of years before the birth of Christ, the prophet Isaiah foretold, 'For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

Do you have the PEACE of God on today? Or, are you in search of peace? Over 2k years ago our access to God’s perfect peace was made available to us at the birth of Jesus.

This candle of PEACE calls us to seek peace within our own hearts, to share it with others, to reconcile with others, and to pray for peace in our families, communities, nations, and our world.

May the light of Christ PEACE within us inspire us this advent season, to be channels of God's peace as peacemakers in a world that that is in desperate need of PEACE.

This Advent season, my prayer is that when faced with trouble and uncertainty, we would choose to drown out the noise of our surroundings and look to Christ as our source of “PEACE.”

People of God, we can rest assured in the blessed assurance of the “PEACE” of God that is with us. He is Jesus, and He lives in us by way of His Holy Spirit. Jesus is our Emmanuel, He is our Wonderful Counselor, He is our Mighty God, He is our Everlasting Father, and He is our Prince of Peace.

Jesus’ “PEACE” is a personal gift that God has given to those who believe! Emmanuel, God is with us!

God’s peace is an anchor and a sure foundation!  

Peace! Walk in it, live in it, apply it, and thank God for it!

God bless!

Isaiah 7:14 Advent Season Is Upon Us

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give youa sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.

The Season of Advent

Advent is a season of waiting and preparation. Advent is unique in the fact that it is inspired by scripture. A season of joy and hope for Christians around the world. Now that Christ was born, we are in a season of waiting with expectation of Christ second coming.

 During advent, Christians awaited the birth of Christ, which was foretold by the Prophet Isaiah centuries before it took place (Is. 7:14, NIV).

 There are four weeks of Advent, which is a season of preparation for Christmas. Each Sunday of Advent is marked by the lighting of a candle, which is often seen on an Advent wreath. The four weeks represent themes such as hope, peace, joy, and love.

 The first coming of our Lord and Savior was to offer salvation to ALL of humanity. “The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full" (Jn. 10:10, NIV). A "thief" comes only to steal and kill and destroy, but Jesus said He came to give us life, more abundantly. A life of eternal worth, and spiritual fulfillment.

The Advent colors of purple, pink, and white represent hope, joy, and love, with purple symbolizing penance and preparation, pink representing joy, and white signifying purity and the completion of the season. Purple is the primary color, used for the first, second, and fourth Sundays to signify prayer and reflection, while the third Sunday, or Gaudete Sunday, is marked by the pink candle to show joyful anticipation for Christ's arrival. 

There is plenty of darkness in this world. It seems to get closer every day. How we decide to deal with the darkness in our lives, in the world, and in our own souls is a life-defining decision.

Jesus is the light of the world, and He is calling us to bring His light to this dark world.

Jesus said, “I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Say this out loud! I AM THE LIGHT IN THIS DARK WOLRD!

God bless!
