Mental and Love Notes: 101

Second part of how to pray is by thanking Him! So often we get in a habit of asking but never thanking God. Thank Him for all things. As 1 Thessalonians 5:18 declares, in all things give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Take a listen

Often many think they know how to pray or even admit they don’t know how to pray. As we begin this series …let’s look at ways we can walk in assurance that the Father hears! Take a listen

There was a character in the Bible who actually tried to curse God’s people. He attempted unsuccessfully to do it multiple (3) times — which proves that the devil cannot curse what God has blessed! This biblical example of Balaam shows that witchcraft, divination, and curses simply have no impact on people who are walking with the Lord. If you are a born-agin believer and walking in obedience to God’s Word, you are safe, secure, and sealed in the protective blood of Jesus — and the power of that divine protection can never be breached by someone operating under, or in cooperation with, the powers of Satan. It won’t work, it can’t work, and we refuse to allow it to work. Be blessed as you listen to today’s podcast

What is a man who gained the whole world and lose his soul. Is it worth it? Satan will do anything to cause a spiritual famine in our lives. He wants the Word of God to stop flowing in us so we can “die” spiritually. God has given each of us gifts, but the question remains: are they being used? The longer we sit, the closer we get to spiritual death. Will you be the one to lose everything so you can gain the knowledge of Christ. Take a listen

What is deliverance? Simply put, is victory! A victory that Jesus already gained for God’s people. God has always made a way of escape for His people, throughout the course of humanity to be delivered from any bondage. Even now, the path of deliverance is always available to those who trust HIM! I pray this podcast strengthen your faith and give each of you understanding on how to be delivered from any thing standing in your way. Take a listen 🎧

God helps us prepare for suffering, by teaching us and showing us that through suffering we are meant to go deeper in our relationship with Christ”. And that was the aim of Paul's life—a deeper relationship with Jesus.

In knowing Him, we ask the Father to give us a thirst for HIM with every passing day, and may we settle for nothing less than the very closest relationship with HIM as we press on to the high calling in Jesus.

Do you know Him or know of Him…. Take a listen

This concludes the last series but doesn’t conclude the subject. Take a listen to the way Jesus handled foolish questions when it came to the Sanhedrin counsel questioning His authority!

As we enter Series 5…. We are still discussing how to walk in our authority, what it will take to walk in our authority, and the outcome of walking in our authority! Let’s take a listen to how Jesus modeled HIS authority!

This is Series 4 as we continue in walking in your authority. Take a listen to today’s message

The greatest weapon we need is our voice. Activate it today!! Take a listen to series 3 as we continue to walk in our authority!

Ephesians 2:6 says, "And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus." According to God, where are you? You have been raised with Jesus and are seated with Him in the heavenly realms. This position of being seated is a position of authority. Colossians 3:1-3 makes it even more clear, saying that you are seated in Jesus next to your Father, the King. Do you have authority in Jesus? Yes. But this is not often where you live. You live among the physical world of grocery stores, movie theatres, family conversations, and bus rides. How is it that you are seated in the heavenly realms with authority? Let’s take a listen of how you can remember your position

We ask that God give us the spirit of Philemon who knew how to refresh the brethren. In a daily spiritual war we need encouragement. In the midst of our refreshing yes, we will know what God will have us to do. Take a listen

Claim to fame: Uzziah did many great public works while he followed the Lord his God! Worst betrayal: Uzziah disobeyed God by usurping the role of the priests in the temple.

Uzziah had become terribly proud. So proud that he burned incense to the Lord as though he were a priest. “Pride was his downfall,” indeed.
When rebuked by the chief priest and other leading priests, Uzziah became enraged. Then the Lord struck Uzziah with leprosy. Few temporal judgments of God are worse. What the Bible calls leprosy covers a wide range of horrible conditions, not just leprosy we think of today.
In ancient times, any such condition instantly made you leprous…untouchable. You instantly and permanently lost your spouse, family, home, and the blessing and well-being of everyone else you knew and loved.

Happy Mother’s Day to you all! 💐

Our tongues are powerful tools that can be used to build up or tear down. It has the power to ignite personal conflicts and destroy relationships and it has the power to bring healing and blessings to others.
If you want to promote spiritual health in yourself and others, you must pay attention to what comes out of your mouth as much as what goes in.

Foundationally, we must understand that the tongue is merely the mirror of our thoughts and emotions. In order to speak words that are graced for godly purposes, we must first investigate the DNA of our minds and hearts. The Lord created your mind, heart and your mouth for specific and God-honoring purposes. When your thoughts, emotions and words are working together for a sacred objective, your life can be transformed and make a glorious impact on your family, on others in your sphere of influence and on people for generations to come!

You will be able to guide your mind, guard your heart and grace your tongue when you allow the Bible to laser its way through all of the ugly "stuff" in your life. To "guide your mind" means dealing with issues related to your thinking habits and patterns. You must examine exactly what you have allowed to take up space in your vital gray matter and how you can replace negative thoughts with positive, uplifting ones. Take a listen

It is clear that this Regathering is initially with Israel in unbelief, because it is only sometime after they have been regathered to the Land that God will revive them spiritually (v25-38). This is confirmed in v21-23 by God saying that He is not regathering them for their sake (because of their faith), but for the honour of His Name, because the scattering of Israel to the nations because of their sin has resulted in His Name being profaned, because it makes it look like the God of the Bible, that is, the God of Israel is not powerful enough to fulfil His promises to His people. So in order to vindicate His Name and Faithfulness to His everlasting Covenant with Israel, God will regather her, even while she is in unbelief. Amid a physical and spiritual cleansing! Take a listen

Salvation includes more than just the guarantee of going to heaven—that’s just the beginning. Salvation is a big word. In the Greek language, it literally means deliverance, safety, preservation, material and temporal deliverance from danger, pardon, restoration, healing, wholeness and soundness.
Do you know what that means? It means you don’t have to be afraid of anything harming you or your children physically.

You have authority over sickness and disease—every cold, flu, backache, cancer, heart disease—all of it. You have the authority through Christ Jesus. God is not going to override your authority. He gave Adam authority, and He didn’t override Adam’s decision to relinquish it to Satan. He has given you the same authority in the earth, and He has given you the way to victory in EVERY situation in His Word.
Are you resting and standing in your authority? Take a listen

There are times we can forget what was done to and for us. Yet, having a forgetful mindset can be costly. Don’t be like the wicked servant who asked for time and was relinquished of all his debt, but turned around and did the opposite to someone else. When the Lord calls you a second time- look out!! Take a listen

We are still discussing forgiveness. Although my recording got interrupted…. I will proceed with Part 3 next week. Stay tuned!

Forgiveness isn’t complicated but it can be difficult. Often our perspective of forgiveness leads us to stand our ground. We demand our rights but that’s not what God says! When rightly faced, hurt should drive us deeper into Gods loving arms. Ephesians 4:32 declares, be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in a Christ God forgave you.

Tools for change: Health and Wellness/Fitness and Performance! Creating balance in our lives is an important part of wellness. Overall, a balanced life can mean many things, depending on culture, circumstances, resources, and other factors. Balance means making sure we have time to do the things that make us feel happy and fulfilled. This includes working (paid or unpaid), having fun, spending time with family and friends, participating in the community, being physically active— praying, and relaxing and sleeping.
Because we each have individual needs, preferences, and capabilities, what we consider “balance” will also look different. And it’s important for us to re-balance from time to time, to adjust to what is going on in our live. Each individual’s path will be a bit different.
Every aspect of wellness can affect a person’s life. Working toward all of them in one way or another is a great goal, because wellness relates directly to the quality of a person’s life. Take a listen

Other might give up on you, but don’t you give up on you!! Others may stop believing in you, but don’t you stop believing in you. Stay persistent!! Stay focused. Keep going! Don’t you dare give up or in!! Take a listen

Can you say, “truth, Lord” in your circumstances? Take a listen

If we desire more of God, it is crucial that we live our lives unto Jesus by ‘staying in tune with the Spirit.’ This truth can completely change our spiritual life and is essential to living the full life God is calling us to live. As we believe God is bringing us into a new season, we need more than ever to grasp this truth at the deepest level, both individually and corporately.

Most of us would agree that we can so easily slip into a place of thanking God for what He has done in the past, yet resist what He is doing in the present. By doing so, we develop a form of godliness but resist (in practice) the power of the Holy Spirit to effect ongoing change in us and through us. Let us remember what Paul says in 1 Cor. 4:20 :For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.” And, “Since we live by the Spirit, let us stay in tune with Holy Spirit” (Gal. 5:25)!

How well do you know HIM? David said the Heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows His handiwork. Jehovah is the only one of whom there are no means of measure that can define His limitless love. No far seeing telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of the shore of His supplies. No barriers can hinder Him from pouring out His blessing. Do you personally know Him? We try to get prestige and honor and glory for ourselves, but the glory is all His. Yes. Thine is the Kingdom and the power and glory, forever and ever and ever and ever. There’s no accomplishment that can take the place of salvation- it must be through Christ to obtain eternal life!

The book of Ezra provides a much-needed link in the historical record of the Israelite people. When their king was dethroned and captured and the people exiled to Babylon, Judah as an independent nation ceased to exist. The book of Ezra provides an account of the Jews’ regathering, of their struggle to survive and to rebuild what had been destroyed. Through his narrative, Ezra declared that they were still God’s people and that God had not forgotten them.

In the book of Ezra we witness the rebuilding of the new temple, the unification of the returning tribes as they shared common struggles and were challenged to work together. Later, after the original remnant had stopped work on the city walls and spiritual apathy ruled, Ezra arrived with another two thousand people and sparked a spiritual revival. By the end of the book, Israel had renewed its covenant with God and had begun acting in obedience to Him. God is a promise-keeper! Ezra’s account proclaims that God kept His word, and it shows that when God’s people remained faithful to Him, He would continue to bless them. We are still in understanding the special assignment. Take a listen

Subtopic: Is it written? The premise of the message comes from Amos Chapter 2 and 3. Take a listen

Jesus sent man on their assignment
and it wasn’t a random assignment at all because God had a plan and Jesus was reseting that plan. See He sent His disciples to teach all the nations and then baptize them all in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit! In this same scripture that same authority and power is extended to the disciples. And the process, the action of reproduction was put into play. So the question remains…. do you understand what your assignment really is?

It is now our turn…it is our job to be about our Father’s business: to teach, equip, apply and mentor. We teach so another is able to do the same exact thing: to teach another so that the good news is spread abroad, so that the kingdom of heaven can spread upon the earth. We are all on a special assignment- whether we do it or not! Take a listen

Saying yes to God means stepping out into the unknown; moving forward in something that you believe God is asking you to do (it’s confirmed in His Word). We at times have no idea where God is going to lead us. But, are we going to say yes to HIS will, and yes to HIS way?? Take a listen 🎧

My prayer is that you enjoy this beautiful day with family, friends, and others!!! This is truly the day the Lord has made so we give thanks in all things ! Much Love Prophetess C.L. Suggs

I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. This is vital!! We do not and can not save anyone. We are not the ones who cause the seeds to grow! We are not the ones who make the water work!
Understand: We didn’t make the seed.
We didn’t make the water. All we do is share what God has given! After we have proclaimed the gospel of Jesus Christ, we leave the results in His hands.
We cannot force people to trust in Christ. Immeasurable harm has been done when we coerce people into praying a prayer or saying they believe when they really haven’t.

We can’t make anyone believe.
We can’t force anyone to be ready.
God is the one who brings the increase.
Can you trust Him? To trust the Lord with the results of the gospel we must believe in Who He is.
God is sovereign. He is the Ultimate Increaser!! Will you trust HIM today?? Take a listen

Moses encourages God’s people not to forget the Lord’s redemption:

“then beware, lest you forget the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.”
— Deuteronomy 6:12

Just like the Israelites, we must remember the Lord Jesus and His mercy when He heard our cry and forgave our sins—lest we forget the beauty of our Salvation: remembering that we were saved from sins bondage that made us hostages to our past.

We must remember that our salvation was for the purpose for which we were created—lest we forget that we have a divine reason for being here.

We are often counseled to forget our past so we can move forward and that is very true—however, we must remember what we were delivered from—lest we forget the power of our deliverance.

We must remember what God has done on our behalf lest we forget His goodness, mercy and unconditional love.

We must remember that we—fatally flawed mortal creatures were given the ability to serve God and become one with Him, through the power of Christ’s redemption.

We must remember this miracle of our redemption—lest we forget what Christ’s death purchased for us!

We must remember the state in which Jesus found us—lest we forget that we were broken and now are repaired and made like new. Take a listen

If you have not subscribed-please do!! Make sure you sow the seed of sharing.

The Greek word for "lifted" is hupso-o -- "to elevate." To "lift up" is to "draw attention to," "make obvious," "make visible" in comparison to other objects of faith. We have all been brainwashed that we must be tolerant, and don't offend anybody! That’s not according to scripture. Jesus was always offending the Pharisees. NewsFlash: DON’T WATER JESUS DOWN!

Christianity won't work without its key ingredient -- Jesus Christ (Raw, Pure, Unadulterated!) He must be lifted up – made visible, drawn attention to, exalted to the proper place, shown as Superior and needful. So, let me ask you…. Who are you lifting up? Take a listen

I don’t care what may come or go, but just know, everything’s going to be alright!! God is still in control. God still has us in the palm of His hands! Just make that your declaration, “ everything’s going to be alright”

Jeremiah 31 declares, the comfortable words for the encouragement of the captives, assuring them that God would in due time restore them and their children to their own land, and make them a great and happy nation again, especially by sending them the Messiah, in whose kingdom and grace many of these promises were to have their full accomplishment.

I. They shall be restored to peace and honour in abundance
II. Their sorrow for the loss of their children shall be at an end
III. They shall repent of their sins, and God will graciously accept them in their repentance
IV. They shall be multiplied and increased, both their children and their cattle, and not be cut off and diminished as they had been.
V. God will renew His covenant with them, and enrich it with spiritual blessings.
VI. These blessings shall be secured to generations after them, even to the spiritual seed of Israel for ever
VII. A rebuilt nation
All these exceedingly great and precious promises were firm foundations of hope and full fountains of joy to the poor captives; and with faith ….we can apply them to our lives as well

Remember to lift your children in prayer daily!! God has given us power and authority over the enemy but we have to open our mouths. Make sure you are in right standing so there’s nothing hindering your prayer to God. He made us a promise to never leave us nor forsake us! Don’t you break covenant. Take a listen

The sad condition and consequences of a fruitless vine with its worthless wood refers not only to unbelieving Israel, but to fruitless Christians as well. The Lord Jesus said that He is the true Vine and Christians are the branches. As in Ezekiel’s parable, the branches of the true Vine are expected to bear fruit. Fruit in the Christian life is much more than effective Christian service - it is primarily effective growth in Christian character. The well-known fruit of the Spirit should be seen on the branches of the true Vine—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5:22). Let’s ask ourselves - how is God’s harvest in my life?

Sadly, there are many such people today. Some are even involved in Christian ministry. These are the weeds in our Lord’s parable of the wheat and the tares (Matthew 13). The weeds look like wheat, but they are really unbelievers when it comes to their hearts. The Lord said that in the judgment at the end of the age these false professors would be “pulled up and burned” (Matthew 13:40-42). And remember what Jesus said about people like this at the coming judgment: “Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’” (Matthew 7:22-23).

God desires to see spiritual fruit in the lives of His people. As fruitless branches of a vine are useless and must be removed, so fruitless branches in the spiritual realm are useless and will reap the consequences of unbelief. God has no room for worthless wood. He wants to produce a harvest of righteousness!

Paul's perspective is that our present sufferings are not even worth holding up in comparison with the glories that will be revealed in us. Paul is not glossing over the enormous pain, physical and emotional, that comes with human existence. Instead, he is elevating the much more enormous glory to come. Paul experienced: hunger, thirst, danger, imprisonment, torture, and persecution. And yet, he says all of that suffering cannot compare to the glories that will be revealed at some future time to saved believers as God's heirs with Christ. Truly, those endless glories must be incomprehensibly wonderful, satisfying, and meaningful.

Nevertheless, without Christ, we could never participate in God's glory because of our sin. In Christ, as God's fully adopted heirs, we will fully experience His glory forever.

Love transcends all time. God’s love can feed us forever. Take a deep breath and close your eyes, even placing your hand over your heart. That was the first sign of love. You are here for a purpose!! Receive the caring and agape love now. Take a listen

We live in a world of sin, suffering, and death, Paul seeks to encourage us by the glory which shall be revealed in us!

Though the sufferings may be very difficult, the glory will be eternally better than what we are now experiencing in this evil world. The great news: we will behold a new body and live in a new world with our Heavenly Father. We can almost consider it as a down payment on our heavenly reward …..that shall be given to us ….who eagerly look forward to His appearing!

Philemon is one of the books in the New Testament. It was a prison letter, co-authored by Paul the Apostle with Timothy, to Philemon, a leader in the Colossian church. This epistle deals with the focal point of forgiveness and reconciliation.

Paul wanted to encourage Philemon to receive Onesimus back as a brother in the gospel without the severe punishments that would usually be inflicted on runaway slaves. He was once unprofitable but now profitable to everyone.

Don’t be a prisoner to anyone not even your mind, but to Jesus Christ alone! Take a listen
