“I think about the scripture in the word of God this morning..that speaks to us all telling us to be sober, be vigilant; because our adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour..Amen..1 Peter 5:8..and I wonder to myself how many of us actually consider the fact that we do have an adversary?..that he is walking among us in this ole world in which we live?..that he is alive and very much well?..I wonder this morning if we do pray and ask of the Lord for protection from the evil one?..I wonder if we do plead the blood of Jesus over our families and over our lives..over our marriages..over our homes..over everything it is that concerns us?..Amen..because we should if we don’t..we should be very aware of our surroundings and the things that we are doing daily in our lives..Amen..because it’s easy to let things go some how..the enemy deceives us and we will begin to think well I really don’t need to do this or that..Amen..I really don’t need to go to church..Amen..I really don’t need to read my bible..Amen..I really don’t need to fellowship with anyone..Amen..I really don’t need to be mindful of my attitude..I really don’t need to pay my tithes..I really don’t need to be nice..Amen..I really don’t need to give to missions..or give to a non profit organization..Amen..I mean we will really think to ourselves..well it don’t matter..someone else will do it..Amen..and before long we let everything go that once mattered tremendously to us and our lives..we let go of things that we don’t even realize that we did..Amen!”

“So this morning I honestly want us all to look over our lives..and begin to see areas of where we may have let some things go and let things fall to the sidelines of our lives..and yes I do understand that sometimes life is hectic, busy, crazy..but as well the things that we do for the Lord..and that the Lord calls us to are the most important things in our lives..Amen..so consider what stirs your heart..consider areas as to where you may have let go of something or some things that you used to be stirred about..and begin to pray about them..ask the Lord to give you a fresh anointing..to stir up the gifts that He has placed in you..to sit you afresh and on fire again for whatever it may have been..Amen..to place again the desire and the hunger deep inside..Amen..as I say whatever it is..because the enemy steals things away from us..and no it doesn’t happen over night..it happens daily in our walks..in our choices and in our decisions that we make..so I pray that we let him who stole steal no more from us and our lives in which we live..Ephesians 4:28..Amen..and that we understand that everything we do in our lives matters and it does matter greatly..Amen..for God has called you & I to do what only we alone can do Him..for there is no one else in this world like us..we are the apple of the Lord’s eyes..so let us consider our gifts, our talents and the thing or things that we have to offer this world in which we live..and than let us go forth and give to this world only what we can for our Father..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 and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
