Where Is God Now Ministries

Surrendering to God is where our promised land is on the Earth! God has promised and given us all that we need to live an abundant, victorious life. Therefore, it is up to us to choose it.

Psalm 95:7- 8 reminds us we are God’s people. It likens us to sheep in God’s pasture and when we hear His voice we should obey. It warns us not to harden our hearts. When we disobey God it becomes more difficult for us to hear Him. As a result, it hardens our hearts.

This is a testament of God’s love for His children. So, not only did God give us His only begotten son (John 3:16), through His son He gave us an abundant, victorious life on the Earth (John 10:10). However, we have to choose it. It is a supernatural occurrence when we do. It is in the spiritual realm of our lives. Moreover, it is a process we can participate in daily.

As a consequence of obeying God’s voice, we get more of the blessed life. Even when trials and tribulations come, we are blessed because our focus remains on the Shepherd’s voice. We hear Him in the supernatural. We trust the Shepherd will not lead us into danger and harm’s way. Although at times it may appear that way, we know that God has a plan. We trust God! Love & Blessings!

When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior we are called to a higher plane. Constantly, Jesus spoke spiritual things on the earth. As a result, we as Christians take on the mind of Christ. We should be living in the spiritual world as Christ and most of the New Testament talks about.

We know this walk is a supernatural walk in the spiritual world. The Holy Spirit helps us in this. He is our Helper. In ALL things, if we seek Him. The Holy Spirit is Christ’s spirit. These are things we do not readily mediate and utilize in our life. We think about it as an afterthought when it should be a forethought.

God asks us to shake off some people, places and things in our lives that would hurt or harm us. Even Jesus instructed the disciples to shake the dust off their feet when they were not well received by people and places they visited (Matthew 10:14, Mark 6:11, Luke 9:5).

Therefore, when we shake off people, places and things in our lives, we are relinquishing productiveness in our lives. We are setting ourselves free from toxicity, burdens, emotional turmoil and more of Satan’s schemes to kill, steal and destroy from us (John 10:10). When we are sleepy Christians we do not recognize these things going on in our lives. We think it is just life. Conversely, it is the enemy who comes in many shapes and forms.

Trust God. Whatever He is asking you to shake off, He always has something better to replace it. Again, it is in the spiritual realm we will be able to see the things God has for us. The subtitle of my book, Where Is God!?, is Blessed Are The Pure In Heart For They Shall See God. God said when our hearts are pure towards Him, we will be able to see Him in ALL things. Once more, Trust God. Love & Blessings!

The first place Satan likes to attack is our mind. Our mind is the center of our behavior. Therefore, this is where our choices, beliefs, and emotions originate. Because of this, Philippians 2:1 – 11 invites us to take on the mind of Christ. Yes, we, Christians, are to think like Christ. Moreover, we are Christ followers so we act, do and think like Christ.

How much we think like Christ reveals our surrender to Him. It is one thing for us to say we are Christ followers, it is another thing to think and live like Christ. Of course we cannot do this on our own. It is a supernatural occurrence. Undoubtedly, we have to rely on the Holy Spirit to help us every step of the way.

Satan is the one who leads us into sinful actions. Notice I said lead. We still have authority over Satan. We have to decide if we are going to cooperate with him or God. Satan has no authority over us unless we give it to him. Imagine that, we surrender to Satan instead of God. That is what happens.

The battle of obedience to God is won and lost in the mind. We have to allow our brains to be rewired. We have to decide who we are going to obey. What influences command our attention. Is it the things of God or the things of Satan? Even when we attack ourselves, that is of Satan. God does not cause us to turn on ourselves.

Christ teaches us how to be selfless. This is truly where our happiness and joy lies. We as Christians learn life is not about us. It is about us magnifying and glorifying God. Jesus teaches us how to do that. We must humble ourselves to take on the mind of Christ… Surrender. Amen. Love & Blessings!

On behalf of Where Is God Now Ministries, Inc., we thank YOU for your monetary and food donations during our food drive for the residents at Broadlawn Park. We partnered with the Chesapeake Redevelopment Housing & Authority, who manages this, of many properties, to serve their residents.

These residents were blessed with ground beef, ground chicken, chicken, pork, beef, eggs, fresh fruits and vegetables, box meals, canned goods, among other food items. In Touch Ministries provided their Messengers, audio devices, to provide spiritual food. It contains messages from Dr. Charles Stanley and the reading of the Old and New Testament.

Your individual, business, corporate, and foundation donations were tremendous. We couldn’t have done it without YOU! Additionally, the Chesapeake Police Department joined us in serving and giving out food to the residents.

This is God’s work when we are the hands, mouth and feet of Jesus on the Earth! It is how God gets His work done… through US! Jesus said anytime we provide for the least of these you have done it unto Him! (Matthew 25:30). This means we are serving Jesus directly… How humbling is that!? Enjoy the photo gallery.

There is nothing new under the sun ( Ecclesiastes 1:9). Although we consider it a cliché, Solomon’s quote is a timeless idiom. It describes how history and human experiences repeat themselves. Solomon was wise enough to realize that, even in his day.

In the same way, when we talk about the word love, it has been seen over the years to be a cure all for many of our physical, emotional, and mental ills. Paul talked about the Fruit of the Spirit when he wrote his letter to the Galatians. The Galatians were having trouble getting along. Does that sound familiar, given what is going on in our world today?

We know the Fruit of the Spirit consists of joy, peace, gentleness, patience, kindness, faithfulness, goodness, self-control and love ( Galatians 5: 22-23). I believe love is the glue that holds the other fruit together. It is as if they all anchor on LOVE. Without love it is difficult to produce the other fruit. Of course, we know these are supernatural fruit that is given to us by the Holy Spirit

When Karl Mennenger, a lifelong Presbyterian and American psychiatrist, stated, “Love is the medicine for the sickness in the world.”, it really was not quite a new quote. Even though he said it in a different way, we can surmise the Bible influenced his life for him to make such a statement. For those of us who are Christian, I believe we would agree with his statement. Needless to say, if we all operated in love, it would be like a medicine for the sickness in the world.

Finally, the second half of the Mennenger’s quote is sad, but true. It appears when love is given, not many people accept it. Strange? That is because Satan also has an influence that some people choose to take. Satan wreaks havoc in our lives. We give him authority without even realizing it. This is how smooth Satan can be. He kills, steals and destroys (John 10:10).

In conclusion, Mennenger’s quote is timely and true. It has a Biblical influence, which reminds us there is nothing new under the sun. Once again, when we keep our eyes on God and apply His practices and principles in our lives, we too, can use the medicine of love to cure many of our ills. Amen. Love & Blessings!

Who has the loudest voice in your life? Whatever has the loudest voice in your life is the loudest influence. Is God the loudest voice? Does Jesus influence you? Are you listening to the Holy Spirit?

The Bible says we, as Christians, are to take on the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16). Therefore, in order for us to take on the mind of Christ we have to know what did Jesus says. Moreover, what did Jesus do when He walked the Earth? For we know that Jesus was God in human flesh. Further, Jesus said whatever the Father does, He does likewise (John 5:19). This was Jesus demonstrating His intimacy with the Father.

Jesus should influence everything we do. This is why we are Christ followers. If we are doing otherwise, it means we have taken our eye off of Him. We represent Christ on the Earth. If we love Christ we will follow His commands (John 14:15). We cannot do this on our own. Even now, we need the Holy Spirit’s help to do this (John 14:26).

God wants intimacy with us. It is not enough to go through the motions of going to church. God is seeking an intimate relationship with us through His son, Jesus Christ. Undoubtedly, it is a beautiful relationship to have with God. Because of what Jesus did on the cross for us, we can have this wonderful relationship. The Holy Spirit will bring to our remembrance the things of God and Jesus. This is why this relationship is so special.

In conclusion, pay attention who is the loudest in your life. So, if it is the world and culture, you will find yourself easily taking on those things. Conversely, if it is Jesus and God, you will be reflecting their character in your life. Likewise, you will have the Fruit of the Spirit oozing out and delighting yourself in the Lord. These are the influences that bring us peace and rest in our life. These are the supernatural things of God that we live by. Amen. Love & Blessings!  

We all are fighting a war within. Although we may have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we still live in a fleshly body. Our soul, will, mind and emotions, still face temptations. These temptations war against our soul. It is good for us to know this so we may be on guard against Satan’s schemes.

Worldly desires are just that. It is the desires we see, sense, taste, etc., in the world. 1 Peter 2:11 reminds us we are strangers and foreigners in the world. Moreover, it calls us to stay away from the lusts of the world which creates conflict in our soul. It can be as simple as eating too much. It wars against our soul and body. It produces poor health. Or, we get in the race of “keeping up with the Jones.” It causes us to overspend. We go into debt. We become depressed. It wars against our soul.

We have to be mindful of the things of the world. We can do this by putting things through a filter by asking ourselves if this is of God or of the world. When we feed our faith the more we can recognize the things of God and the things of the world. This is why it is so important for us to know the Word, the Bible, for ourselves. The Holy Spirit will always bring back to our remembrance those things of God.

When we do not have the Word of God to feed us as we are living our lives, we constantly find ourselves battling and struggling, and falling into sin. Of course this is not God’s best for our lives. For Jesus did not die for us to live defeated lives. We can cast down those things of the world, through the help of the Holy Spirit. Without a doubt, we are not alone. The Holy Spirit is our helper in ALL things. With resolve, we must seek God in all things.

Titus 2:11-13 says, “ The grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.” This is another reminder for us to stay away from worldly desires. It is through our Lord we are able to do this and still have an abundant, victorious life through Jesus Christ, on the Earth. Love & Blessings!

We often talk about God and His love. God is love(1 John 4:8). We often talk about God’s promises and blessings to His children. They are talked about and sprinkled throughout the Bible. Needless to say, for some, it is an incentive to serve Him.

As we grow in our relationship with God, we should be growing up and maturing. This begs the question, are you interested in God or what He can do for you? Dr. Charles Stanley with In Touch Ministries would often say God is not interested in our ease, comfort and pleasure. Therefore, God is more interested in our conforming and transforming into the likeness of His son, Jesus.

God is more interested in our character. He will use a mixture of blessings and pain to build our character. Apostle James said we should count it all JOY when we face trials, troubles, pain, as it tests our faith and helps us to endure (James 1:2-4). Nevertheless, this is not to say we should be happy in our infirmities. The JOY comes supernaturally, that God is molding and shaping you through the help of the Holy Spirit.

Our love for God should be that we want to please Him. Moreover, we should want to get to know who He is. We find this out best through His word, the Bible. Consequently, when things start happening in our life, in the world, etc., it is not strange. We should be able to recognize God’s hand in situations. We can base some of this on who He is.

God loves us so much that He gave His son to die for our sins (1 John 4:10). One of the mysteries of God is when He sees us, He sees His son, Jesus. That is why Jesus is our EVERYTHING! He provided the pathway to have an intimate relationship with God directly. In turn, God will allow selfishness in us to be chiseled away in our life to become more like Jesus.

In our maturity with our relationship with God, we become more interested in Him. We start to realize our relationship is not based on what He can do for us. Further, because we become fully committed in the relationship, the blessings, favor, seem to follow us. When troubles come, it does not shake us. We realize God is doing a work in us. Furthermore, we recognize His presence in our lives and welcome it. Amen. Love & Blessings!
