Da Real Purpose

Mar22

pain&sorrowNeed healing, restoration, strength, financial help or all of the above and more?

1 Cor 11:23 “For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.”

One of the most precious and rewarding acts we easily forget is taking communion. So many have been taught that it should be done only on special holidays. Some have been taught that you must be pure when you take communion or you will become sick or weak. That is the furthest from the truth you can get.

What you must remember is that when you accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior, your sins were forgiven! He makes you pure and white as snow.

Da Real Purpose of the communion is to remember the true reason behind it. Don’t do it haphazardly or without thought. When you break the bread, you should remember that Jesus’ body was broken for you. When you sip from the cup, you should remember that His blood was shed for you. That’s it, nothing more.

When you feel lost, unworthy, guilty, pain, sorrow and in need of help, the absolutely best thing you can do is partake in the communion. Whether you do it every day or once a week, the communion was given to us to remember what JESUS ACCOMPLISHED FOR US! He has given us a way to overcome the things that are coming against us. It was HIM and HIM ALONE!!!!

From this point forward, I ask you to partake of the communion every day. Begin to see the truth of Jesus’ sacrifice for you. Remember to celebrate that your sins are forgiven. Rejoice that one day He will come back to rule and reign. Receive your healing, restoration and strength that He purchased for you with His body and blood.

Don’t waste another day feeling weak, sick or defeated…receive and partake in Da Real Purpose of the communion and see Him work mightily in your life today!

Feelin’ Squeezed

Mar9

Sour Lemon FaceIs life throwing you lots of lemons right now? Does it feel like the weight of the world is upon your shoulders? Do you feel squeezed from every direction?

Job, David, Apostle Paul…they all went through a lot of squeezing in life. Between losing everything they owned, losing family, friends turning their backs on them and being put in jail. It didn’t look like there was any way out of the mess. They couldn’t break the chains of bondage. They didn’t deserve what happened. They had no clue they would have to go through so much pain and sorrow. The only thing they could do was stand on their faith, believing God had a plan that they couldn’t see.

BUT THEN…God moved in their lives, restoring what was lost, giving them health and the strength to go on. God has a way when you don’t see one. Stand up and dig in church! You might be squeezed from every angle of life. You might be crushed and heartbroken. But our heavenly father collects all those tears. He will help you every step of the way even when you feel all alone and no movement of God.

  • Psalm 30:2 “O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.”
  • Psalm 34:2 “I will boast only in the LORD; let all who are helpless take heart.”
  • Psalm 34:4 “I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.”
  • Psalm 107:4-6 “They wandered in the wilderness in a desert region; They did not find a way to an inhabited city. They were hungry and thirsty; Their soul fainted within them. Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He delivered them out of their distresses.”
  • Psalm 118:5 “Out of my distress I called on the LORD; the LORD answered me and set me free.”

Dig your heels in and keep standing in faith. Your God is bigger, stronger, lovelier, and is unlimited in ways we simply don’t understand. Today I ask you all, let God help you turn those sour lemons into your very own sweet-tasting lemonade. He won’t let you down nor will He forget your struggles while standing in faith. One small faith a size of a mustard seed is all it takes.Tasty Lemonade

He promises to take all your hurt, pain, sickness, disease, poverty, failed opportunities and relationships AND TURN THEM AROUND into your favor! Get ready to have an amazing testimony for when He squeezes so tight and everything falls apart, you can bet that He has something so amazing in store for you!

So today, let that squeeze come upon you. Rejoice in the midst of your pain and sorrow. For God is up to something in your life and your best days are just ahead! Stand firm and know that God can make the most heavenly lemonade there is! Dig in church! Dig in for that sweet taste of victory that’s coming your way today!

Are You Ready?

Mar2

Get ReadyDuring the winter, we tend to hibernate. It’s a time of silence, reflection, and preparation. It’s a time when you feel there is a huge stagnation surrounding you and you simply don’t understand why. The only thing you could do was lean on your faith; knowing that somehow, everything was going to work out in your favor. Worry, doubt, and uncertainty likes to creep in during the night that you just can’t seem to shake.

But, now…Spring is in the air. Flowers are blooming, trees are budding, and you can feel the excitement in the air. Spring is such a beautiful time of the year when the Earth renews and all things seem possible. There is a newness that surrounds you. An anticipation that brews, waiting to bust out and come alive.

God is getting ready to make a shift in your life and it is going to ROCK YOUR WORLD! You have stood firm on His word. You have stood on your faith. You have kept hopeful against the odds.  And, He is getting ready to do something AWESOME in your life.

Our loving Father wasn’t silent during those winter months. Noooooo…He saw you standing in faith; hoping that things would get better. He saw all the seeds you were planting into your heart, family, friends, and co-workers. He didn’t miss a thing you did, nor, was it in vain.  Our God is a God of seed, time, and harvest!

“And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting
nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap,
if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint.” [Galatians 6:9]

Back to Basics

Jan31

back-to-basicsWhat does your Bible say?

My Bible says Jesus walked on water. My Bible says Jesus calmed the storm. My Bible says Jesus rose Lazarus from the dead. My Bible says Jesus fed over 5,000 men, women and children with a child’s snack. My Bible says Jesus is closer than a brother. My Bible says the Holy Spirit is my helper. My Bible says the Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer. My Bible says that God gave us a spirit of power, love, self discipline and a sound mind. My Bible says that God will give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed. My Bible says through His stripes we are healed. My Bible says God’s grace is sufficient. My Bible says seek the Kingdom of God and everything will be added.

God promises good news and prosperity for every believer! God’s Word is solid truth for He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Today I ask that you go back to the basics.

It doesn’t matter what your circumstances say. It doesn’t matter what your bank accounts say. It doesn’t matter what the doctor says or what addiction you might have. It doesn’t matter where you are or where you came from. It doesn’t matter if you feel overwhelmed, afraid or have failed previously.

My Bible says God has an abundant life filled with peace, love, joy and happiness for all those who believe. My Bible says that all things work out for our good. My Bible promises that if we keep standing in faith through the midst of all the storms, we will have victory.

So today we are going back to the basics. No matter what anyone says or thinks, Keep believing. Keep standing on His promises until things begin to change in your life. Because my Bible says perfect love casts out all fear. Ask God for a deep revelation of His love and meditate on His Word constantly. If you just get back to the basics without all the fluff, God will guide you, protect you, love you, show Himself to you, break the fear, heal your pain, guide your path and your life will be greater than ever before.

Accept It ~ Believe It ~ Receive It ~ And Speak It

God is good and worthy to be praised. If you continue to believe and build your faith…

you will see the Glory of God in your life!

Thank Him right now that everything will turn out alright.

Because my Bible says your beginnings may seem little but your latter days will be very great!
