Cry Out for Justice

I know alot of people question why God allows things to happen. I've said this before and I'll probably say it again, many times. Its because He has given us free will. He gives us the ability to choose whether we want Him in our lives or not. That does not mean that God won't stop things from happening. He will, but we have to ask.

Ask and it will be given to you; For everyone who asks receives;

If you don't ask you can't receive and in these times especially where families are being ripped apart, lives are being lost and rights are being stripped away we need not just speak out and against injustice but in that same voice ask that God mete out His justice for the injustices being rendered.

In my distress I called to the Lord;
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came before him, into his ears.
Psalm 18:6

This should be an audible prayer. A prayer deep in the soul that forces you to speak aloud as you voice your requests to God. A voice to express your passion. A prayer that can make you lose your voice. That is how serious this must be for you.

God tells us to cry out for justice and to keep crying out. To pray without ceasing. The hardest fought battles are won in prayer. This is not a race but a marathon as African Americans know quite well. We cannot grow weary in well doing for the harvest we stand to gain is great.

In Luke 18, Jesus tells the story of the widow who stood before this judge who by his own admission said he cared nothing for God or the people. Every time the widow stood before him he would deny her request. However, she kept coming back until finally he got fed up but her persistence and granted her request.

The point Jesus was making was that if someone who didn't give a crap would mete our justice how much more would God do if we implore Him the way this widow did with this judge? Where is our persistence? 

Now is the time that we stand firm in the power and sovereignty of God, the creator of ALL things. Just like the people of Israel called out to God for deliverance from the Egyptians so much we cry out to God. Day and Night. Fervently. Consistently. With Power.

Podcast Episode 3: Living in THE Truth

I started a podcast! We are 3 (three) episodes in. I talked about a Jonah moment over on Facebook and this was it. God had placed on my heart to start this podcast a year ago and I sat in the fish a whole year. But, I finally decided to be obedient and the fish spit me out and I'm so glad that I did. This has been a good ride so far. God is good. Episode 3 is up now. In this episode we talk about truth. In this crazy world we are in today the truth is in the eye of the beholder. We are living in our truth. But God is the same yesterday, today and forever and in God's economy there is one truth, THE truth. Jesus is the way, TRUTH, and the life.  Thanks for listening. The podcast is on all of these platforms. So please listen and rate.

Working Out Your Faith

Working out your faith has resulted in insomnia. At least for me anyway. My word for this year is refocus but I didn't realize God would drop me in so quickly. It's like when you go to the doctor to get your eyes checked and they keep changing the lens until what was blurry becomes clear. That visit takes about an hour of your time. But what happens when your vision has been blurred by years of heart ache, broken promises and disillusionment? That can't be fixed in an hour. It requires a renewing of the mind and that is a life long journey I'm discovering. Pastor on Sunday talked about not looking too far forward. I'm near sighted. Things that are right in front of me I can see easily but the further it is the blurrier it gets, without my glasses. I sometimes forget I need my glasses until I get outside and realize I can't see down the street! Life is like that isn't it? What is in front of you is so clear but t...
