Just Do It

If you’re like me, all this snow is becoming quite annoying to say the least. We have experienced masses of snow accumulations, which have made it difficult to maneuver through our daily routines. Many of you are unable to get out of your homes due to the hazardous road conditions, some of you, like me, experienced loss of power and frigid temperatures. Whatever you have encountered, it was something we never thought would occur at this time in our life. The word of God is very clear… there is a time for everything under heaven. From this perspective, I can comprehend this was our time for a massive snowstorm and while this storm caused discomfort, distress, and even irritation, we must continue to press forward.

During the storm, I reflected on many things but what intrigued me the most was the fact that life will sometimes be like this snowstorm we are enduring. The weatherman warned to constantly shovel as much as possible due to the snow accumulations. As much as I tried to keep up with the shoveling, it seemed to overtake me and I began to face an obstacle that I could not handle. Eventually, I surrendered and walked away because it was more than I could handle. Only to return the next day and discover there was “no way” I would be able to dig myself out of this. But God specializes in this area of our lives when we encounter so much accumulations (family, health, relationships, financial, etc.) that we conclude we will never be able to dig ourselves out. He will send us what we need to get out of circumstance or obstacles.

When I finally made up my mind, I realized the only way I was going to get out of all this snow was to begin digging my way through. This is when I discovered the power of God. You see, I was looking for help to get me out of all of this snow accumulation, but God had a better plan… he was showing me that when I trust Him and rely on His provisions, he will make a way out of no way. What seemed to be a barrier God made it my breakthrough! For you that have read this today, this is my word to you, “you can dig yourself out of anything with God.”

Make That Move

Happy New Year! Allow me to apologize for not getting my blog out on time. This year I am making the commitment to do better. Well, I don’t know how you feel but I am living a life of true blessings and favor. I am preparing myself for the release of God’s unlimited blessings upon VCC, my family, friends and me! This year I plan on giving more to the Kingdom of God, listening for His voice about blessing others and submerging myself deeply into the Word of God. I had the awesome experience while visiting my daughter (Alexandria) in California. She invited me to visit her church and all I could say was “thank you Lord”. Pastor Carl (Bishop select) truly allowed the anointing to flow in service. After worship, I had the chance to speak with him about ministry and how you have to move forward regardless of who is not wanting to go. I returned home with a zeal for ministry and Kingdom work. For you that are reading this message, I want you to know God is ready to use you for His Glory. Don’t worry about what issues, problems or situations you are experiencing, I’m here to tell you that God wants to use Y-O-U! This year make the commitment to God and watch how He will use you for the Kingdom. You have a purpose and destiny, a place with your name and anointing approved by Heaven. Tell the devil he is defeated and you are walking in the blessings of an awesome God, command your release from the attacks and defeats of the enemy. Last year you gave in but in the year of 2010, you will be the head and not the tail, you will be the lender and not the borrower, you’re blessed in the city, you’re blessed in the field, you are BLESSED! This is the year of promotion! Get ready for your next level in God. I claim it in the Name of Jesus!
