Yes, minimize every voice screaming negative thoughts in your mind. Turn the volume down. You are the Property Manager of your mind. You have the right to evict every thought that is non-compliant with your rules and regulations. However , many times the negative voices sound; you have the authorization to silence it. Anything trespassing on the territory of your mind you have the right to bar it from your property. Don’t be afraid to escort them from the premises.   Say goodnight to doubt if it is sounding louder than your faith. Tell your concentration that you will no longer be distracted. Serve notice on other people’s negative opinion that there is no room in your mind for it. Minimize the attention seekers. Some didn’t receive the attentiveness as a child. So many individuals are in desperate need of a response. Every conversation does not demand a reaction. They have suffered neglect at the hands of a parent or caregiver. So, they would like for you...

A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island. The two survivors, not knowing what else to do, agree that they had no other recourse but to pray to God. However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island. The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land and he was able to eat its fruit. The other man’s parcel of land remained barren!  After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife. The next day, there was a woman who swam to his side of the land. On the other side of the island, again there was nothing!  Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes, more food. The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing!  Finally, the first man prayed for a...

Dirty Windows A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The next morning while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside. “That laundry is not very clean,” she said. “She doesn’t know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap.” Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make the same comments. About one month later, the woman was surprised to see nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: “Look, she has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?” The husband said, “I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows.” And so it is with life. What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look. This a story that we all can reflect on. Before we criticize or pass judgement on anyone or their situation we should check our windows to see if they are clean, whereas ...

Acts 1:8 God commissioned the church to reach the world.  The bible declares you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you: and you shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem and in all Judea and in Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth. We must be concerned about the loss in our families, jobs, and neighbors.  God has equipped the believer with the word and Power.   My prayer was to Evangelize and I prayed for the gift.  I remember that talking to strangers was easy.  Now I realize sharing a smile helps us to effectively witness.  There are so many people that are discouraged with the local church.  It is my duty to advise them that we can attend another church but, we must examine our heart.  The commitment to serve and join a church is a Spiritual decision.  God said he will add to the church.   Today people want to watch TV for their quick fix church.  They don't want to a...

       Photo by Jonathan Meyer on Unsplash Phillippians 4:7 says "And the peace of God which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."  May this story bless you: There once was a King who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The King looked at all the pictures, but there were only two he really liked and he had to choose between them. One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror, for peaceful towering mountains were all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace. The other picture had mountains too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky from which rain fell and in which lightening played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all. But when the King looked, he saw behind th...
