Palm Sunday

Today we celebrate the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. No one, except Jesus knew what was to come in just a week's time. I can imagine the excitement, and fanfare. It was Passover, Jesus was the promised Savior. People were excited and it was contagious.

I woke up today so happy and grateful. I had just been sick the night before and it landed me in the hospital. I was so grateful to God to be alive and well at home. For his healing, for the beautiful day, for the sunshine, for my family. I was rejoicing as many did this day so long ago. The savior had come and all was right in the world.

We should wake up everyday rejoicing. We have life and breath. We have another day to get it right. The savior is alive and He loves you. No matter what, each day is a new blessing from God, the opportunity to get to know Him in a deeper way.

Next Sunday has way more pomp and circumstance than today does but today is a reason to celebrate nonetheless. Today, we recognized Jesus as King! Our healer, our savior, our deliverer, Our help in times of struggle. He fulfilled the prophecy and declared who He was. And even though we may not have realized it, it is one of the greatest days in history. Without this declaration it diminishes the significance of His resurrection. He took His place as king, the king above all kings.

So I rejoice. Because God is good. He sent His son to save us and He deserves all of our love and praise.

Be blessed today. He is king and Lord over all that is in this world. So trust Him.

Praise Break: Hymn of Breakthough

 I have been in a time of Worship and Praise since early this morning and for the last 3 hours I've been listening to Israel Houghton's Feels Like Home. It has been blessing me. But the very last song was the Hymn of Breakthough. There has been such a shift in my mindset, in my expectancy of God in the last almost 20 days. I'm expecting a breakthough or even breakthrough. The lyrics say, I hear the sound of breakthough, my breakthrough is here. Everything that I need You supply. Every promise of Heaven is mine. But the words that spoke to my spirit, I am healed, I am free God has spoken I agree My breakthrough is here God has spoken, I agree. God has spoken, I agree. God has spoken, I agree. God has spoken, I agree. Let the words follow over you, let in seep to you Soul so that you know, God has a breakthrough for. No matter what you are going through, no matter the sitution. God said, God said your breakthrough is here. Stand i...

2022 is the Year of Free

Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.           - 2 Corinthians 3:17 Last year's word was birth and God delivered on that word but not in the way I expected. I thoguht there was to be a new business or revenue stream, a new home, or some other tangible things birthed in this season. However God was saying, Damaris I'm going to birth a new you. In the last quarter of this year I have seen God do an amazing work in my life. It wasn't physical, material things. I haven't moved, still living in my parents house. I don't have a new business, in fact I haven't been able to dedicate the time I wanted to the business I have. I don't have a new revenue stream either but God has kept me and my family which has been a blessing. Instead, He birthed a new mindset, a new outlook, peace and trust in Him. He birthed a new and deeper relationship with Him. He birthed forgiveness and healing in my soul that I have never had.  So ...

Expectation in God

  So now wrap your heart tightly around the hope that lives within us, knowing that God always keeps his promises!     -Hebrews 10:23, Passion Translation   I was taught that expecting God to give me things or do things for me was bad. We’re told to ask God for things but, in the same breath, not expect Him to give them to us. It was in the name of piety but how backward is that? Especially because it contradicts God’s Word. Then on the flip side, now we tell people to "Name it and claim it" but that leads to disillusioned Christians disappointed that God hasn't granted their wishes. God isn't a genie. That contradicts God's Word too. How many of us know the scripture, ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you? ( Matthew 7:7-8) If this is true, which it is, doesn’t that create expectancy? Doesn’t that mean I should expect to receive something? Of cour...
