What are you thinking about? In growing up in the church you hear so many Bible versus. You wonder how am I suppose to do that. As we grow in Christ, He starts to transform our lives to be more like Him you receive radical revelations!

For we know we can do NOTHING without Christ. In Paul speaking to the people of Colosse, he encouraged them to set their minds on heavenly things not on earthly things. When we live and walk in the Spirit, it allows to set our minds on spiritual things as we are navigating life. It is a beautiful thing!

So when life happens, as it does, you are able to use your spiritual tools. Through the Holy Spirit, He is leading and guiding us through life! Even when Satan rears his head, we are able to navigate things and allow the Spirit to work and help us through victoriously. Folks, that is God working in our lives which is so humbling! Love & Blessings!

Encounters with God can be fun. Moreover, it can also be precious. Daily, I am always looking for God in my life. These moments that we get with God Satan is quick to steal, kill, and destroy.

Recently, it felt like I had a ton of things I needed to do. One of the things I wanted to do was to sweep up some debris in front of my house from a storm. Constantly, it was on my list of things to do for the day. However, it kept being pushed to the next day. Then, on the day I was determined to get it done, the city street sweeper came by and swept it away. Further, I got excited and thanked God!

Another recent encounter was in a parking garage on a college campus. We all know how busy and crowded college campuses are. So, when I entered into the parking garage, I said a quick prayer that God would show me favor with a parking space. Two cars had the right of way on the opposite side of me making a right turn. I needed to make a left turn and followed behind them.

Now, in the natural you would think, they would see and get the closest and convenient parking space close to the garage exit. Ironically, I saw them speeding past the vacant parking space close to the garage exit. As a result, I was so humbled to get that parking space as I did not want to park on the other levels of the garage.

These God encounters are many for me. I intentionally look for God in my life. God tells us we should live with expectation! (1 Peter 1-5) Therefore, it should be an expectation and hope to see God in our lives daily through Christ Jesus. This is the intimacy we gain having a personal relationship with our God. Love & Blessings!

God Bless Our Moms! Where Is God Now Ministries, Inc., would like to take this time to honor ALL moms. Moms come in all shapes and sizes. Furthermore, they come with many personalities and temperaments. Unequivocally, in the eyes of God you are LOVED. Humbly, take this time to embrace His love and know He has always got your back.

Being a mother is not an easy job. Nevertheless, we always want to make the best decisions for our children and family. We do not get a step-by-step guide for every situation. At times it is instinctive. Other times we have to wing it. But, through it all, we know if we rely on God He will make All things work together for good (Romans 8:28).

We define moms on many levels. We have birth moms, adoptive moms, surrogate moms, spiritual moms, school moms, work moms… The list of moms go on and on. Invariably, they meet us where we are. Undoubtedly, they provided the needed love, care, guidance, and compassion we all need in life. So, whether you have given birth or not, if you have poured into the life of another human being on this Earth, you are a MOM… God SMILES on YOU! Love & Blessings!

When we encounter situations that are not clear or does not make sense, we need to rely on God for His help so we can discern what is really going on. Discernment is the gift God gives us to help navigate this sometimes-strange world. When we encounter situations that put a check in our spirit, or on face value, it seems innocent, but as you move forward it becomes troublesome, the Holy Spirit is probably trying to get our attention… Pay Attention!   

Recently, I had a situation to come my way that did not make sense. I was asked to do something; however, when I started gently asking questions to get clarity, there was resistance and defensiveness. The Bible tells us in all thy ways acknowledge God and He will direct our paths (Proverbs 3:5-7) Undoubtedly, He will do it! 

In our last blog, we talked about being vulnerable with Christ. Jesus said we are sheep going out among wolves; yet be wise as a serpent, gentle as a dove (Matthew 10:16). How can we do that? Through His spirit in us. It allows us to discern those things that are not of Him and our God. 

Discernment is a gift God gives us so we can determine if is something of God or not. Additionally, it helps us to resolve if something is real or not, truth or lie, right or wrong. I believe God is always speaking to us. It is up to us if we are paying attention to Him or not. He will send a knowing in our spirit to help us with our decision making. Our emotions are fickle; therefore, not always reliable. Invariably, it is always wise for us to be prayerful, consulting God, asking Him for His help and He will lead, guide and direct us through the Holy Spirit… Amen. Love & Blessings!  

Jesus has called us to be vulnerable yet wise. Jesus said I am sending you out like sheep among wolves (Matthew 10:16). This tells us Jesus knew the world was wild and crazy and filled with many temptations. Nevertheless, as it was in Biblical times, so it is today. There is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Unequivocally, here lies the foundation of our faith.

This vulnerability is uncomfortable at times. I know when I go out and interact in the world standing up for Jesus, sometimes the world looks at me in wonderment. That’s because in the supernatural there is WONDERMENT and MYSTERY! It is where our belief lies. Believing that God can do ALL things (Luke 1:37, Philippians 4:13) ushers you into the supernatural. In the natural we want to try and figure everything out. However, that is not faith. Faith is believing God can do anything and leaving the rest up to Him to work it out how He deems fit.

Equally important, sometimes vulnerability with Christ is fun and adventurous. Undoubtedly, this is where I enjoy my relationship with God the most. Already believing He can do ANYTHING; it causes me to live with EXPECTANCY each day. I look for Him in the smallest and largest things in life. This vulnerability is part of the abundant, victorious life God has promised us. Embrace and enjoy it right now! Love & Blessings!

Last fall, Where Is God Now Ministries, Inc. was one of two businesses selected by Old Dominion University’s School of Cybersecurity to participate in a Cybersecurity Internship Clinic. Thursday was the culmination of the program. Alarmingly, fraud and scams are on the rise. Consequently, the university saw a need to offer this service to the business community. Additionally, it gives their students the necessary skills and real-world experience to become efficient in their field.

A team is assigned to each business. Constructively, they conduct a comprehensive risk assessment with a particular focus on cybersecurity vulnerabilities and threats. As a result, their analysis provides insight into potential risks facing your organization. Further, they offer recommendations to enhance its security posture. As we are building the infrastructure for Where Is God Now Ministries, this information is invaluable and FREE!

Amazingly, this is a testament of how God will put together the pieces you need in your life. Invariably, He will orchestrate things for the work He has called you to do for Him to move forward in His name… Amen!

If you know any business, as they work with ALL industries, interested in this service, please share my information and I will connect them to the officials at ODU’s School of Cybersecurity. Love & Blessings!

During one of my visits at the jail and listening to the ladies, the Holy Spirit said to me, the ladies have been set free from their drug addiction! Unknowingly to them, their sobriety started when they were locked up in jail! How radical is that!? I shared it with the ladies. I told them they did not have to wait when they were released from jail to begin their sobriety. Their sobriety starts NOW… Walk In It!

I explained to the ladies their sobriety will look different for each of them. Some will walk away from it freely. Others will have to manage it through support groups. And some will have the struggles and urges to deal with. The difference is with Jesus. Invariably, He is our HELP! We cry out to him, call on him, whisper to him, every day, throughout the day, moment by moment, when we need Him. All of our help comes from the Lord. (Psalm 121) Radical?

Jesus was radical when He walked the Earth. In the natural, most of what He did and said did not make sense. For example, asking us to love your enemies (Luke 6: 27-38, Matthew 5:44-46). In the natural we think, I cannot do that, how am I supposed to do that? Precisely. We know in the natural many of the things Jesus asked us to do, we cannot do it in our own strength. It is precisely why He is our Lord and Savior.  “… without me you can do NOTHING.”  (John 15:5).

I LOVE Jesus! Earnestly, when you think of ALL that He did for US, we fall in love with Him. We submit and yield to Him as Lord and Master. Undoubtedly, that is not to say we become perfect and do everything right. Assuredly, we DO NOT. However, through the POWER and STRENGTH… the SUPERNATURAL, He helps us through all things. It is humbling when we experience it. Amen!

Happy Easter… Jesus Is Risen! We know Him as a Savior because of this fact. He is our covering before God. When God looks at us He sees ALL of what His Son died and did for us. It boggles the mind when you think about it.

A step beyond Jesus being our Savior, He is our Lord. With Jesus as our Savior, we accept His free gift of salvation. With Jesus as our Lord, we have to humble ourselves before Him. We have to humble ourselves to be more like Him. It is a supernatural exchange that takes place because you are allowing Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, to do His work in and through YOU!

Let us not gloss over everything that Jesus did for us. Some people see it as I am not going to hell when I die. However, it is profoundly more than that. It is transforming our hearts, minds and souls allowing Him in as Lord of our lives. That means He is the boss over my life and not me. Amen. Love & Blessings!
