Where Is God Now Ministries

A doubled minded man indicates a man who has not made up his mind. In the Bible, a double-minded man is someone who is divided in loyalty between God and the world. Unfortunately, we continue to see this happening today. People who profess Christ as their Lord and Savior who also declares their allegiance to the things of this world. It is clear he can not make up his mind. This person tries to trust God while also doubting Him, or tries to follow the Lord while keeping one foot in worldly habits.

Satan has deceived people into thinking it is acceptable to live worldly. People believe that God will tolerate this behavior when nothing could be further from the truth. God hates sin (Psalm 5:4-5, Psalm 11:5, Isaiah 61:8, Proverbs 6:16-19). That is not to say we will not make mistakes in life because we are not perfect. However, people who have a lifestyle in practicing things of the world are symbols their heart does not belong to God. They may be still the master and lord of their own life.

James 1:6-8 warns that when praying for wisdom, a person must believe and not doubt. Someone who doubts is like an ocean wave blown by the wind. James calls this person a “double-minded man, unstable in all his ways” who should not expect to receive anything from God. Additionally, James 4:8 urges believers to draw close to God and commands them to “purify your hearts, you double-minded”, pointing back to a split loyalty between spiritual devotion and sin.

There are certain characteristics of a doubled minded man. Unstable ways represents their choices, thoughts, and emotions are constantly changing. It goes back and forth between God and the things of this world. This causes their loyalty or faithfulness to be divided. They seek worldly approval. Yet, they still want God’s approval. As a result, their faith and belief in God is tampered with. Doubt and skepticism set in. It is why Paul urges us to set our minds on the things above and not earthly things (Colossians 3:2).  

The scriptures say, “Surely Goodness and Mercy will Follow Me!” This is for those who honor God with their lives. Who obey God and walk uprightly. Furthermore, the Scriptures say God’s blessings will chase YOU down!

This Goodness and Mercy is not a one time event. The scripture continues to say, … All The Days Of My Life! We can attach a, “Wow!” to that. This should bring excitement to children of the Most High God! This is not a one time event. It is ALL the DAYS of YOUR Life!

We should anticipate God’s blessings in our lives. Moreover, most of the blessings will manifest in the spiritual realm. Although, we will experience some material blessings, too. For example, imagine a life of peace, love, calm, rest, joy and the other spiritual blessings that are afforded to us. After experiencing this and more, you want more of God in your life. You become more and more a follower of His son, Jesus Christ. It is a beautiful transformation.

When we can live our lives to please God we will experience God’s BEST for our lives. When our focus is on God it pleases Him. God will want to shower his children with goodness and mercy. What a wonderful way to experience and live our lives on Earth. Love & Blessings!

Satan loves to keep us in bondage, chains, and shame. He loves for us to misunderstand God’s word, with his help. Oftentimes, these misunderstandings will lead and leave us in our sin. Because we love God, we do not want to willingly sin. Jesus said if you love me you will keep my commandments (John 14:15). The Holy Spirit will help us (John 14:26).

As a result of what Jesus has done for us on the cross we have the power not to sin. Further, the Bible says with every temptation God will provide a way of escape. We have to be alert. When we put on our armor of God everyday, we will be on guard and see the Holy Spirit leading and guiding us into the right paths of life.

Although grace is unearned forgiveness, which most of us are very familiar with. It is also God’s power in us not to sin. Satan deceives us into thinking it is okay for us to sin and give in to our temptations. After all, we are human. God’s power, the Holy Spirit, will help us to escape temptation and sin.

Grace is not a license for us to sin. Romans 6:14says grace breaks the controlling power of sin that tries to overtake us. This grace gives us strength to choose the right way. Titus 2:11-12 teaches us that the Holy Spirit actively helps us to say no to the passions of the world and ungodliness. We have HELP! It is God’s GRACE… Amen.

There was a time when we heard, “Swallow your pride.” it was thought to bear shame. Conversely, no one wanted to swallow their pride. It admitted some type of weakness or wrong doing. Even now, this is how the world and culture look at swallowing pride.

In God’s upside down kingdom we do not act and think like the world and culture. As a result, we take on the mind of Christ. Moreover, we see things through God’s viewpoint. Therefore, it is often the opposite of how the world functions that we live in.

Proverbs 8:13 reminds us to hate evil. For evil is born out of pride. God hates pride and arrogance. It spews out bad fruit which evil behavior and perverse language is some of the bad fruit we see.

From God’s point of view swallowing our pride is a good thing. Further, it saves and protects us from self-destruction. Some of us are so deep into our pride that it is difficult for us to see and understand this. Satan wants to keep us blind and deceived by the ways of God.

Swallowing our pride helps us to remain humble. It helps us to walk in humility before God. Yet, one of the best ways we can stay humble is to remind ourselves we are sheep. Sheep are prone to wander and get lost. They need a shepherd to lead and guide them. Our shepherd is Jesus Christ. It is why we are called Christ-Followers. We swallow our pride to stay close to the Shepherd, Jesus Christ. Amen. Love & Blessings!

Where Is God Now Ministries, Inc, is partnering with Highmark Residential Communities to have a food drive for residents at Woodbridge Apartments, 717 Hunters Bridge Drive in the Greenbrier section of Chesapeake. This food drive will help with our pop-up food pantry for Woodbridge Apartments on Friday, August 21.

Inflation is up. Gas and oil prices are skyrocketing. Grocery prices are up including beef, poultry and fresh fruits and vegetables. Further, shelf-stable goods are up, too. Where Is God Now Ministries believe we can help ease some of the burden by bringing food to them. This will take some stress off of transportation of going to the store and making purchases for food.

We can collect refrigerated and nonperishable foods. So we can collect eggs, milk, fruits, vegetables as well as can goods, pasta, rice, can meats, cereals and more. Non-food items are being collected, too! Toilet tissue, paper towels, toothpaste, deodorant, and anything else needed to survive in a household. Your monetary donations make a difference, too!

Our collection dates for this food drive are Saturday, August 15 and Sunday, August 16. Send me an email to come and pick up your items for one of these dates. Of course, if you want to drop your items off at my garage door you are welcome to do so. Your financial donation is tax deductible! Just go to the “Donate” on www.whereisgodnow.org to help.

Jesus taught in His parable when you help the least of these you have done it unto Him (Matthew 25:40). This is a call for us to help and to be proactive in our efforts! WE are the hands, mouth and feet of Jesus on the Earth. We reflect Jesus through the Holy Spirit when we help others. It is humbling knowing that Jesus is working through US!… Amen.

Thank you for your continued love and support.

Please share with whomever…

Love & Blessings!

We love Jesus. Without Him we would be LOST! He gave us His all. As a result, we have eternal life because of Him. Moreover, we have an abundant, victorious life on the earth when we choose Him!

In Matthew 7:13-14 Jesus talks about the narrow and wide road. I believe when we read the words of Jesus in the Bible, everyone needs to stop and pay attention. Jesus never wasted His words. His words were significant.

Therefore, when Jesus was describing the narrow and wide road, He was describing our eternal destination. The narrow road is described as a humbling road. We deny self and selfishness. It is less popular and few find it, according to Jesus. Conversely, the wide road is described as popular and an easy road. Further, this road relies on self. It seeks self satisfaction.

Upon further description, Jesus talks about our eternal destination with both roads. Although many do not realize it at the time, the wide road is really destroying people. It is self destruction. Because people do not rely on God, they destroy themselves. The narrow road seeks God. It leads to the supernatural fruit God offers us to live our lives beautifully on the earth. This road ends with eternal life with Him after seeking Him with their whole heart.

Jesus did not mix words when He talked. The beauty about being a Christian is we get to choose. We choose the road we want to follow. Therefore, we choose the lifestyle we want to live. Will we choose the narrow road or the wide? The choice is ours. Amen. Love & Blessings!

God weighs our hearts. He weighs our hearts by the Ten Commandments, the Sermon on the Mount, the Fruit of the Spirit, and other means. Therefore, God looks at our hearts. Salvation is of God. God will give us a new heart of flesh. Not a hard heart.

Going to church is not enough. Conversely, being baptized does not save us. Yet if your heart is right, the rest of you will be right. Your heart will not want to hurt the heart of God.

Repent of sin. As a result, you will change your way of living. God will help you when you repent because you cannot do it by yourself. It is a supernatural mystery of God. Still, if your heart is open God will change your heart. Further, you become a new person. Moreover, you start choosing the narrow road and not the broad road of this world. It is the transformation of your life.

Acknowledge God publicly in your life. Have no shame about who you are. Undoubtedly, be the Christ Follower you have accepted in your life. The Holy Spirit will be your constant help in this process. You are never alone. Amen. Love & Blessings!  

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!
