“So in my memories this morning it popped up this time 2 years ago that Anthony, and I went to this Spring Jubilee revival that they had in Mt. Airy, NC..and it lasted all week but we both had busy schedules and we just happened to be off on the same day so we were able to attend..and it was amazing..I must say..my hubby of course was on a trip so he didn’t get to go with us but if he were home he would’ve been there..Amen..but the message was a great message to say the least this particular Pastor that preached that night..preached out of the book of Isaiah..and he begins with the Lord calls us many things in the word of God..but only this time in the bible has He spoken to us to tell us to be a nail in a sure place..Isaiah 22:23..Amen..he goes on to saying that a nail is very useful it holds things together..Amen..it holds things up..Amen..but he goes on to saying that sometimes nails begin to come out from there sure place..and how it does this is two reason..one is that it has lots of stress on it..and second it gets cold so it begins to push out of its place of where it should be..Amen..but he goes on this Pastor and he says that each of us has been placed somewhere secure in our lives..Amen..he says the Lord has placed you and called you somewhere..so my question to you this morning is this..are you securely anchored in your place?..are you fastened there?..Amen..or have you begin to let stress and cold come in and push you out from your spot that God has placed you?..for he says each of us are holding things together in our lives..Amen..whether it is our marriages..families..friendships..the people we work around..we are someones anchor..we are someones security..Amen..we are holding things together..and we as children of the Lord must stay focused in our lives on those things..because everything we do matters and it does matter greatly..Amen..we never know who is being influenced by our lives..by our choices..by us staying securely placed in our walk with Christ..Amen!”

“Because how many of ya know that people in general and mostly this generation is looking for real..Amen..they’re looking for realness..nothing fake..but secure..Amen..because the world offers much but gives nothing..the only thing it does is take away from you and your life in which you live..so today my question to you all is this..are you placed securely in your life to the place Jesus has you?..or have you began to drift away from that place?..by life in and of itself..by the stress and the cold that comes?..because each of us have someone in whom is watching us and our lives and our walks with Christ..there are held together by us and our choices that we make in life..because again how many of ya know that what you do matters and effects everyone in whom is in your life..those people that are there..for as I say we all have someone that we are held up by..whether it’s our spouse..our families..our church community..we all have someone that helps us to stay secure in our lives..that holds us accountable..Amen..not saying that we place our hope in others..because of course we stay secure in Jesus..but what I’m saying is that your call on your life..and your way of living and acting..and the choices and the decisions you make effects those ones in whom are there with you..and around you..Amen..so whatever you do this day make sure to check yourself and your life that you are choosing to live..Amen..make sure you are staying secure in that place Jesus desires for you to be..Amen..make sure you haven’t drifted away or fallen out from that place that you should be..Amen..make sure you haven’t grown cold and let stress push you from that secure place..Amen..because we are all holding things together in our lives..we all are in this thing together..and my heart and my prayer is that we all make it..and that we all come out secure..firm..and steadfast..because let us not forget that we all have way to much hanging on us..Amen..so we ask the Lord to hammer us in and make us secure..let us not drift away..let us not back away..let us not compromise..but let us just stay where we are supposed to be..making a difference in this life that we are living and choosing to live for Christ Jesus our Lord..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤
