This will bring us comfort. God wants to be involved in the details of our lives. Invariably, He will do so if we let Him. Needless to say, many times we think we have to do everything on our own. As a result, we decide to involve God only after we have spent our energy. Furthermore, we try to figure it out or do it ourselves first.

We are in partnership with God. Moreover, he delights in doing thing for us! The Bible says God is involved in the details of our lives. Therefore, He cares for us personally (Psalm 139, Matthew 6:8, 6:26, 10:30, Luke 6:26). We should be excited about that! Our God loves us so much that He scripts it all out for us. There will be good and bad along the way, but we know it is all for our good (Romans 8:28)

Recently, I needed a crossmember bar installed on my vehicle. The dealership told me it was a 4 hour job and would be a little over $800. God had me to research the cost of a crossmember bar. I found the part considerably cheaper than what the dealership quoted. So, I ordered it on my own.

When I drove around to find a garage to install it, the first place I went to was closed. The second place said they did not install crossmember bars. The third place I went to the front office was closed. Someone steps from the side of the building. He tells me to go around the corner. He believes someone was there who can help me.

I meet three men working on the other side of the building. I tell them I need a crossmember bar installed and I have the part. One guy steps up and asks to see under the hood of my car. He then asks to see the part. He says he can do it. I ask how long would it take. He says 1 hour. Next, I asked how much he will charge me. He says $100. I agree to let him do it.

The man pulls my car into the garage. Then he pulls out a chair for me to sit in at the garage door. I watch him install the crossmember bar step by step in 30 minutes! I said PRAISE GOD! They was a little concern the bolts were rusted. Sometimes they break when they rust. When he takes the bolts off the car, there was no rust on any of them! They were AMAZED! I tell them God knows I need the car fixed. Therefore, He allowed no rust on those bolts so it would be fixed! They laughed, and said, “Yes, yes, yes!!!” I saved a little over $500 and 3.5 hours in allowing God to order my steps!

We serve a supernatural God who LOVES to get involved in the details of our lives. He LOVES it when we talk about Him. He LOVES it when we TRUST Him. It brings, PEACE and COMFORT to us. It is a BEAUTIFUL thing to SEE God at work in our lives! Thank you, Lord! Love & Blessings!

Yesterday, on March 7, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order declaring March as Women’s History Month! And what history do we have, women! We all have our personal stories of trials and triumphs. Needless to say, we have persevered and proven to be resilient in all situations.

God saw the significance of women. Moreover, it is the reason He created US. Each of us are special and unique in our own right. We carry the incubator of mankind. Although we were created to be the helpmate for man, God has given us the capacity to be much more.

When we think about women making their mark in history, we start with the women God used in the Bible. These were POWERFUL women. They used their spiritual strength, wisdom and wit to navigate their lives. Today, it serves us well to pattern our lives in the same way.

When we look at the lives of these women, we realize, there is nothing new under the sun/Son. Rahab taught us how to choose God, despite what the culture/world was doing. The widow of Zarephath taught us how to cope in tough times. Hannah revealed how to deal with depression.

We learned how to use our spiritual gifts wisely from Huldah and Miriam. Esther showed us how to use our power to benefit others. The Proverbs 31 Woman displayed how to keep our priorities straight.

Relationships are an important part in women’s lives. Things will not always go smoothly. Still, Abigail revealed how to deal with a difficult husband. Furthermore, Leah exhibited living with a man who doesn’t love you.

Life can sometimes feel humdrum. In contrast, when we renew our minds daily, Ruth proclaims how to see God in the dailiness of life. Deborah educates us on leading when God calls us. Eve illuminates the long-term consequences in the decisions we make. To conclude, Mary enlightens us on being open to God to bring Christ into the world.

What women of Biblical history! Women we have a legacy of women to follow as examples. God made women, YOU, to impact the world in your unique mark! In God’s eyes we are all special and He uses all of us when we make ourselves available to Him. Celebrate the woman you are in Christ! God made YOU! Love & Blessings!

Paul lived a transformative life. We read about him in scripture a persecutor of Christ followers (Galatians 1.). Imagine that! Undoubtedly, he hated Christians. Yet, Paul wrote the most inspiring and motivational books in the Bible. How can that be?

Paul was touched by the Spirit (Acts 9: 17-19). The spirit knocked him off his horse. As a result, Paul became temporarily blind. Further, the Spirit spoke to Paul and asked why does he persecute Him. Paul had to spend some time to process what happened to him. The Spirit was undeniable to him. His life transformed.

Now it was Paul who was being persecuted. Moreover, he became a Christ follower. Paul was beaten, bitten by a snake, shipwrecked and jailed. Amazingly, Paul wrote inspirational letters to many churches in the New Testament while in jail. These letters were motivational. It challenged them.

Paul had the opportunity to denounce his faith. Needless to say, he could have become depressed. Hostile, bitter, mean, and critical are some other traits Paul could have become. Instead, Paul became steadfast and unmovable. What an example for us!

Paul encourages us to think ourselves happy. In Acts 26 Paul recounts his transformation. In recounting his transformation, he becomes happy. He is happy because he realizes the old man he used to be. He acknowledges the new man that he is.

Life is a matter a perspective. It is our attitudes towards things. Nonetheless, we can choose to think on the negative things that happen to us in our lives. Or, we can decide to focus on the positive and the goodness of God. We can think ourselves happy, too! Love & Blessings!

Wisdom is something we all seek. Certainly, most people want to make good choices and decisions. Contrarily, it is only a fool who does not seek wisdom (Proverbs 17:16). Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon are known for their wisdom literature. Nonetheless, the whole Bible is full of wisdom cover to cover.

Sometimes we, as Christians, become confused about wisdom. We sometimes take on the wisdom of the world instead of the wisdom of God. We find ourselves in the middle of battles and fights, we as Christians, should not engage. We become so passionate about worldly wisdom we have to step back and think about what we our doing. For example, the Bible clearly says our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. We were bought with the price of Jesus Christ. Thus, our bodies belong to God (1 Corinthians 6: 19-20).

Needless to say, Satan does not want us to know this. For those of us who know it, He does not want us to really think about it. We sometimes take the side of the enemy and not really know it. Godly wisdom tells us to honor God with our bodies. Worldly wisdom tell us to defile our bodies because it is our right. It is no one’s business but mine. Yet, Satan will deceive some Christian to make them think this is right and true.

Knowing the word of God is crucial to us walking in Godly wisdom. The beauty about reading the Bible for yourself is that the Holy Spirit will bring back to your remembrance what God says. The same applies to hearing the word of God. Then we have a choice when it comes to deciding what we will stand on. Will we stand on the wisdom of the world or the wisdom of God?

Satan is clever. He will rush and push you into making a choice. He will get loud and kick up the drama for you to jump on his bandwagon. God will appeal to the heart. He will bring the Word back to your remembrance. Many times there is gentleness and peace. Rarely, will God scream His word at you. Although, He has been known to do that a time or two. The importance here is to know the word of God so you will walk in Godly wisdom. Amen. Love & Blessings!

Happy Valentine’s Day! This is our official day of expressing our love to each other. Still, remember God loves YOU 365 days of the year! Certainly, it is an everlasting, unconditional love. Yes, God loves individual YOU very deeply! God loved YOU so much that He indeed gave His only begotten Son (John 3:16). Yes, just for YOU!

Jesus in His love for YOU surrendered His life for YOU to set YOU free! Additionally, to ensure YOU can navigate this life that YOU live, the Holy Spirit was sent. He is here to lead, guide, and protect. He will reveal and provide anything else YOU may need on this Earth! What BEAUTIFUL gifts YOU have been given!

Embrace and enjoy the spirit filled life God has given YOU! Be HAPPY in Him!

Thank you for your love and support.

The jail ministry had its 8^th graduation for the ladies recently. This particular graduation was truly spirit filled. The presence of the Lord was noticeably at the ceremony. The ladies have an opportunity to give their testimony, if they wish. There is no pressure for them to speak. I have seen some ladies not say anything. Alternatively, they will go up with another lady to speak together. Remarkably, this graduation was different.

In this graduation, each lady stood up boldly alone and gave their testimony. In some cases it was very emotional for them. I believe Jesus transforms lives! Conversely, that is not to say that Satan will not come after us. It is a guarantee that he will, according to the Bible. Nevertheless, God has given us our Armor, our Fruit, and many other weapons to fight the enemy. I implore the ladies to USE THEM! Because Satan does not want them to know about their weapons! Furthermore, I remind them we never reach a point of arrival with our Faith. Unreservedly, we grow from glory to glory as God is forever teaching us more and more.

After the ceremony, we had an opportunity to fellowship together over lunch. Our conversation focused on Jesus. The ladies shared once again on how they desperately want to walk the life of Faith. I shared it is a process. As long as we keep our eyes on God He will get us where we need to be. I explained to them it will not always look like we want it to look. Moreover, it feel like we want it to feel. Undoubtedly, this is where our TRUST is built. God is FAITHFUL.

Continue to PRAY for these ladies. My heart goes out to the other men and women who are incarcerated or have been incarcerated. Many of them see the error of their ways. They have many hurdles and struggles they have to overcome. Nevertheless, with Jesus as the Shepherd, we know He will lead, guide, and transform their lives.

It is Jesus who will help them to overcome. It is Him who will do the transformation. Pray that these men and women will keep their eyes on Him! Pray that they will make better choices. Pray that they will also get the needed support when they reenter their communities. As I have told them, they have already been SET FREE.! Jesus took care of that on the cross. Now, you have to walk in your FREEDOM day by day, hour by hour moment by moment. HE WILL GET YOU WHERE YOU NEED TO BE!…Amen!

Life can get hectic. During the course of a day we can have many things coming at us. We juggle. We multi-task. All of this action leaves us anxious. For some, it causes anxiety. We worry. We fret. If things become too overwhelming days, weeks, months at a time, it can lead to depression.

The Bible has given us the perfect solution in handling a hectic life. We are to REST in Jesus! What does that mean? Well, we are to cast our cares on Jesus because He cares for us. When we do this we find PEACE, Clarity, Strength, Renewal, and Replenishment. Who would not want this!?

I have heard it said when we work God rests. In turn, when we rest God gets to work on our behalf. We can’t rest and fret at the same time. It is impossible to do. We have to decide if we are going to let go and let God. Or, if we are going to take things in our own hands. Making things happen in our maneuverings and manipulations. As many of us know, this is exhausting! Who wants to live this way?

Satan, the deceiver, has convinced some this is the way to live. He wants us to live in confusion and despair. When we truly embrace what God has provided for us, we experience the life Jesus died to give us. It is a gift! We can’t earn it. We do not deserve it. It is the gift that God has given each of His children who has accepted His son, Jesus Christ. What more we want? If we do find ourselves searching for more, know that it is Satan, the deceiver… You Choose. Love & Blessings!

On behalf of our justice-involved individuals, Where Is God Now Ministries would like to thank you for your prayers on Martin Luther King Day of Service. The Bible says prayer has great power as it is working (James 5:16). It is not to be taken lightly. We have the privilege to go to our Father God directly not only on our behalf, but on the behalf of others.

I do believe some of you started your prayers prior to me arriving to the General Assembly. The House passed a resolution on restoring voting rights for justice involved individuals! It now goes to the Senate. If passed there, next year it will be put before the House and Senate again. If successful, it will go to you, the people, to vote in November 2026.

We are not defined by our mistakes. Satan is the accuser. God is our redeemer. We know that God is able to turn anyone’s life around, including our justice-involved individuals. Some of you know stories that attest to this. Virginia is one of a few states where people do not automatically regain voting rights. This occurs even after they have paid their debt to society. Prayerfully, this will no longer be a hindrance to enabling them to become a part of society again.

I discovered some other good news during my visit. Governor Youngkin has actually restored some voting rights to those who have petitioned. Because this population is so transient, some of them may already have their voting rights restored and not know it. The process is tedious as the Governor’s office approves them on a case by case basis. With automatic restoration, you can eliminate the process of applying. You can avoid tracking folks down. People will no longer be unaware their rights have been restored.

Lastly, I only did a few pictures, as the day was truly “high energy.” People were everywhere. Elevators were packed going up and down the many floors of the General Assembly. Here is a link to a short picture gallery…

Virginia General Assembly 2025!

It was a privilege to speak on behalf of the justice-involved individuals. We are the hands, mouth, and feet of Jesus on the Earth!

Thank you for your continued love and support.

Martin Luther King Day is the only federal holiday designated as a day of service. This year the day is Monday, January 20, 2025. To commemorate this day, Where Is God Now Ministries, Inc., will be visiting the General Assembly in Richmond to talk to senators and delegates.

There are many bills and constitutional amendments that are in legislative process at the General Assembly. Some of them affect justice-involved individuals. One of the constitutional amendments is to restore the voting rights of convicted felons. From my experience, some individuals serve time in jail first. Afterward, they are transferred to prison based on their convictions.

This is one way Satan wrecks havoc in our lives. He lures us into our downfalls and sins. Some become very complicated. Once prison time in served, many are trying to restore many human dignities of life. One being the right to vote.

Where Is God Now Ministries, Inc. is asking specifically for your prayers for ALL justice-involved individuals on MLK Day of Service, Monday, January 2025. Please mark your calendar and include them in your prayers.

The needs are great for justice involved individuals who are trying to find their way back to wholeness. Pray that God will give them a sense of self-worth. Voting is a way to restore that. We all know that we serve a God of second chances, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, etc. Acknowledging their right to vote will recognize their contributions are greater than their mistakes… Amen!

If you know of anyone who is interested in getting their voting rights restored please share this email with them. Where Is God Now Ministries, Inc. will help them with this restoration. We are the hands, mouth, and feet of Jesus on the Earth!

Thank you for your continued love & support.

Love & Blessings!
