There is only ONE way to secure yourself so that you cannot fail in this life and that is with the continuous feeding on the word of God. David said, "I have NEVER seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed beg for bread." Why? Because the foundation of the righteous is always built on the word of God. The righteous live, breath, confess, meditate, pray and work the word of God therefore in them

Will the REAL you please stand up?!

2012-01-30T15:04:00.000-06:00

My favorite scripture in the entire Bible is 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”The New Creation is the [person] that has received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. He/She is born of the word, feeds and lives by the word. He is born of God; a partaker of heavenly substance. His DNA is "

Grace for the New Year

2012-01-02T14:34:00.000-06:00

If there is anything that you believe God wants you to let go of or remove from your life He will give you the grace to do it. The difference between you and those who do not embraced the love of God is you have the grace of God which is sufficient for you to move forward (II Corinthians 12:9). The apostle Paul, as great and influential as his life was struggled with some things that he

2012 will be a year full of testimonies and awe inspiring moves of God! At Elevate Church we are calling it the Year of THE Blessing.One thing I know for sure about God is He takes pleasure in the prosperity of His people and He is most pleased by faith (Hebrews 11:1).This year to really see the fullness of Gods manifested blessing it is going to require us to hear from God like never before.

We serve a living God who knows our deepest fears and hurts yet our joys and pleasures. Though He is a big God He is involved in the intricacies of our lives and desires to be apart of them. He is the One who can see the big picture of our lives when all we can see are the moments that we are living in. Sometimes what is included in the moments of our lives are not the desires that we hold in

Wisdom, though very powerful, is over looked by many. Yet wisdom can cause doors to open for you that could not be opened with money. Wisdom will help you decide between situations that could be potentially harmful and situations that could be potentially beneficial. Wisdom has the ability to translate you beyond your natural ability and intelligence. Solomon was given

The Miracle of Meditation

2011-08-15T19:03:00.003-05:00

In Joshua 1:8 God told Joshua to meditate on the book of the law day and night so that he would make his way prosperous and have good success. Now that is exciting. What’s even more exciting is that as believers today we are not limited to the book of the law (i.e. the Old Testament) but we are expanded by the book of grace (i.e. the New Testament). There is more that we can gain from

Talented for no reason...

2011-07-20T22:01:00.001-05:00

As I've been working on my newest project (a music CD) I couldn't help but think about the parable of the talents. We all know the story; one guy received 5 talents, another received 3 talents and another received only 1. The parable states that the one with only 1 talent hid his talent and told his Master, when confronted, that he hid it. His reason excuse was ‘I knew that you are a hard man,

What is for me...is for ME!

2011-07-03T17:57:00.001-05:00

The only portion of the Bible that will work for you is the portion that you believe. Although God sees our needs and feels our pain He does not respond to that. [If He did respond to it there wouldn't be any pain in the world. He does not respond to it due to disobedience of Adam and Eve]. What He does respond to is FAITH. Faith is a direct byproduct of believing. What is believing?

Yesterday was my Mama's birthday (if you ask her 21st birthday). After a 3 day Youth Conference in Houston, I decided to stay a couple of days just to celebrate. We were able have a surprise birthday party at Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen...and she had no idea! She even ate the creme brulee with fresh fruit (she NEVER eats dessert) thats how excited she was. I can honestly say that it was sooo

I felt like sharing this video with you by Hillsong from their recent album "Beautiful Exchange". Please notice the cd title "Beautiful Exchange" ....like we exchange ourselves with Christ ...."for me to live is Christ, for me to die is gain"...LOOOVE it. I could preach a message on it but I'll keep it for another day. ;) Nonetheless enjoy and hear the lyrics to the song that really outline

2011-05-30T12:40:00.000-05:00

Back in the day (before I was saved) I used to listen to a song by the Big Tymers called "Still Fly" with lyrics like this: "Aint got no job, but I stay sharp/ Cant pay my rent, cause all my moneys spent/ but thats OK, cause Im still fly" I sang that song all the time and eventually that is what I experienced...until I began singing (speaking) scripturally based songs like "Its all about You"

How to have confidence during a "dry season"

2011-04-04T15:20:00.003-05:00

Some say that "having successes creates confidence" but what if you're not in the season of having successes? What if your'e just starting out and unsure of how to create success? How do you gain confidence during that season? Well honestly speaking, confidence shouldn't be based on anything external but rather internal. Specifically Who is inside of you...when you're born again it's Christ. The

There's a saying that says "if you take care of the needs of others you will then take care of the needs of yourself."

The Health Department in accordance with the American Dietetic Association (ADA) states that the most effective long-term way to achieve a healthy lifestyle is to be 100% Fad Free. They also recently declared March as National Nutrition Month. The reality is we lose weight on virtually any diet if you eat less but the maintenance of the weight loss and promotion of a healthy lifestyle cannot be

What's your life purpose?

2011-02-21T15:55:00.002-06:00

I always tell people that you do the world and yourself a disservice by not fulfilling the call of God on your life. But most people don't know what their purpose is or how to find out what it is. I've included an excerpt from my book Christ-confidence with an excerpt from the chapter titled "Grand Purpose"...let's find your purpose together. God loves us so much that He will speak to

God wants us to succeed...NO MATTER WHAT!

2010-08-10T10:09:00.000-05:00

Our God wants us to succeed. He wants the best for our lives. The proof of these statements are all over the Bible. Jesus coming from heaven to earth to die on the cross and rising again is tremendous proof. But even before then, God has displayed the desire for us to live well. Look at Adam and Eve for example. We all know the story, the devil persuaded Eve to bite the apple and Eve

I've been told that I'm not really a Christian if I attend church on Saturday. But I've also been told that I'm not really a Christian if I attend church on Sunday. So which one is right? Is it Saturday or Sunday? I mean really, is one day of the week holier than all of the rest? Does God honor the people who attend church on Sunday and give them a +1 point, while people who attend church on

3 steps to living out your passion..

2010-06-05T20:13:00.002-05:00

What are you here on earth for? What did God have in mind when He created you? These questions and many others are questions that we ask ourselves often. Well I can tell you that He did not create you to have a mediocre life that doesn’t allow you to be fulfilled or unable to live out your passion. Ephesians 2:10 tells us that we are the workmanship in Christ created for good works and those

We are partnering up with Joyce Meyer Ministries to assist our brothers and sisters in Haiti. Although they are within the Western portion of the globe (like America) they are sadly one of the poorest nations. It's not about what you have have or don't have its about stretching yourself to assist others in need. Visit the link below for more information about the earthquake that hit Haiti and

A good friend of mine recently sent me this link and I couldn't keep it to myself I had to share it! I feel the need to do so because I know that so many of us are working hard day in and day out but money still seems to be falling out of our pockets. And that the economy is "hospitalized" many are feeling suffocated. Well, fear not because there will be a change in the economy soon (if we

Faith Life Network Newsletter 12.07.09 Don't be discouraged or disheartened by goals that have yet to be accomplished. There are some prayers that take time and some that require fervency.

The book of James says that the tongue is an unruly member that “no man can tame” and it is full of deadly poison. Yet the word of God is full of great things and promises so even if we can’t tame our tongue God’s word can. Everyday we have the opportunity to make positive confessions like“I am fearfully and wonderfully made”“My God shall supply all my need according to His riches in glory by

9 months ago I had my beautiful son....along with 30 pounds of additional weight. Of course the weight gain was necessary because of the pregnancy but I couldn't help but feel at times guilty. I, like most women who get pregnant, took advantage of the situation and took it upon myself to eat just about anything I wanted and did not get a decent workout in during the entire pregnancy. Well some

After lots of work it was successfully pulled off. Traditionally there's a turkey and stuffing and some kind of pie but not at my Thanksgiving dinner. There was NO turkey and no stuffing but there was lots of flavor and lots of

Between potty training, starting a new business, maintaining and revamping our current business, my doctorate program and writing my next book I've been UBER busy. Sleepless nights because my son (8 months old) has decided that his favorite time to eat is at 3am along with my mind still running from what I did or didn't complete during the day has taken me a bit out of my comfort zone. So when

Trick or Treat..should we or shouldn't we?

2009-10-07T20:17:00.006-05:00

The observed day of Halloween is generally observed on the evening of October 31 throughout most of North America and in some areas of Western Europe. As it quickly approaches this year, our concern is that many families, whether through innocence or a lack of understanding, will participate in this holiday in a way that is not beneficial to them. The Bible tells us that we are engaged in a

I'm a good person, why the bad things!?!

2009-10-02T15:34:00.006-05:00

You know the saying of "everything happens for a reason" I truly believe that statement. Not in the way that most people use it though. People do things that they know they have no business doing or get involved in situations their "gut" (aka the Holy Spirit) told them not to get involved in and then when things go sour they want to say "oh well, everything happens for a reason". No. Not in

Heeey I am not my hair!

2009-09-12T19:54:00.006-05:00

If I hear another person make an unscriptural reference to a woman having short hair I am going to scream (not really but it sounds good)! Most people will quote I Corinthians 11 for their rational on why a woman shouldn't wear short hair. But Paul (the author of Corinthians) clearly states that a woman having long hair is a preference but it is not a law and that we should judge for

The other woman meant nothing, huh?

2009-09-11T20:29:00.003-05:00

Soo I've been reading "Act like a lady, Think like a man" and I have to say that I've truly enjoyed it. I know it seems odd that I'm reading the book because I'm married and the book has been tagged as a singles book but I'm a "lady" married to a "man" and I want to know how he thinks to make our lives together better! Wow, if what Steve says is true then men really are SIMPLE creatures. Now

which way to go?

2009-08-18T23:08:00.008-05:00

Love this song by Third Day. Sometimes we all feel like we need some help, guidance, understanding and this song is like opening up to God and having your heart wide open to have Him 'show me what to do'.

bad experience = bad behavior?

2009-08-15T21:25:00.008-05:00

One thing I've learned about life is that it is full of experiences, both good and bad. And although we would all desire to have good experiences throughout life- it just doesn't happen that way. Just as good things happen to good people, bad things happen to good people. But why is it that when people have bad experiences in their lives they sometimes resort to bad behavior or use that

Zoe (my daughter) loves this song. I'm not sure if she really loves the song or just the beat and the choreography (she will break into dance if she hears the song, thank you Aunties). I like the song because Beyonce is telling the guy if you like it (her) then marry her. More so than that, I think I love to see young men who are married...I know this is random but I have to say it. More than

Thought of the Day

2009-08-01T15:38:00.008-05:00

I was watching the Bille Jean video by Michael Jackson and of course as I watch anything that concerns Michael I always have to reminisce of the days of old when my sisters and I used to perform his choreography in our living room. And now that I'm older I'm actually processing much more of his lyrics. "And be careful what you do/ cause a lie becomes the truth" is one of the lyrics within Billie

No room for two

2009-07-22T18:10:00.006-05:00

I love this song by Mercy me. Basically the song is a musical representation of Philipians 1:21, Colossians 1:27 and many other scriptures that speak to us on letting go of the "flesh" and grabbing a hold of Christ for the life He has given to us as Christians. Bye bye old me, hello Christ through me!

That sounds like fighting words to me...

2009-07-21T20:38:00.011-05:00

It is understood that God answers prayers. Depending on the prayer and what is taking place in our lives God will either do three things; He will say yes and grant the prayer, say no and bring a better blessing, or say wait and grant that prayer at the appropriate time. Hence the Bible saying that every good a perfect gift [answered prayer] comes from the Father with whom there is no

Tribute to a legend...

2009-06-30T22:34:00.010-05:00

On the 25th of this month the world has mourned (some still are) the loss of a legend. His name is Michael Jackson and was a man that changed the the face of the entertainment industry for generations. He influenced the lives of many men and women for generations. All he did was make music and sing and dance.Obviously the latter sentence is an understatement, Mr. Jackson was a world influencing

Under the influence

2009-06-29T23:41:00.005-05:00

It seems to me as if the workplace or corporate structure is one of the most exceptional places to lose hold of our belief system. For the most part it's not done on purpose, it's a gradual loosening of the grip due to constant ungodly behaviors that we encounter at the workplace, a basic human need to be accepted and the desire for promotion/recognition. Let's face it, if you cant fit in with

Not perfect, just parents

2009-06-15T19:01:00.004-05:00

Our parents are given to us to give us instruction, guide us, and equip us with the essentials to do well in life and succeed. But many of us have different stories to tell about our parents and what type of impression they left on our lives. It seems nowadays that the negative aspects of parenting are more evident; some never met their mother/father, if their parent were in their lives they

Is it ever enough?

2009-05-22T23:40:00.001-05:00

I’ve encountered many different types of people who have dealt with all kinds of self hindering habits or traits. These habits or traits vary in type but hinder us nonetheless. Those hinderers, I believe, distinguish the average from the above average.I know that one habit I had to personally deal with was feelings and thoughts of not being good enough. When I was young my father always strived

As a viewer of the show I'm not surprised, Samantha was granted what I call a "DO OVER" in life.

the #1 matchmaker

2009-04-18T21:01:00.008-05:00

I recently tuned into the show Millionaire Matchmaker, which has provided a bit of entertainment, but really spurred a series of questions within me. Before I get to the questions, the show is based on a woman who is a matchmaker for millionaires but many of the millionaires only go on a couple of dates and move on to the next young woman in line. The millionaires seem to never be satisfied with

God-mail

2009-04-16T18:11:00.002-05:00

They are always in my iNBoX. I receive at least 2 everyday: God mail. At first I used to send them as soon as I read them, then I would delete them, then I would feel bad if I deleted them: God-mail. Uhhhh!We know you love Jesus & you're not ashamed and if I'm not ashamed then I'll send it to others. Okay, but you know what really shows me that a person is not ashamed is through their behavior.
