✨✨✨Coming In HOT!!! Ft. Here Comes The Hotstepper - Ini Kamoze/ In The Air Tonight - Phil Collins1/3/2024 Happy New Year! 💖💖💖 It's time for the New... allow the Lord to minister to you on what that means for you❣️ ✨✨✨ You can expect people to be replaced this year with the ones that God has Chosen to be in those positions. Remember that David replaced Saul as King. Esther replaced Vashti as Queen. Whenever there is someone in a position (whether it was God that placed them there, or it was not Him) who mishandled God's people, or has done wicked things, there comes a time when Enough is Enough and God WILL Replace them.
In 1 Samuel 15:17-19 Samuel was to complete a mission to destroy the Amalekites (who were a wicked people who attacked Israel as the crossed the Red Sea) and did not: 17 So Samuel said, “When you were little in your own eyes, were you not head of the tribes of Israel? And did not the Lord anoint you king over Israel? 18 Now the Lord sent you on a mission, and said, ‘Go, and utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.’ 19 Why then did you not obey the voice of the Lord? Why did you swoop down on the spoil, and do evil in the sight of the Lord?” 23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being king.” God took mercy away from Saul and made David King: Acts 13:21-22 "And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years. 22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will." 2 Samuel 7:12-15 "..I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: 15 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee." If you see well know people in different areas being taken down from positions, just understand that they are being judged by God at this time.. and you can expect lesser known people to take over certain positions because God has found them Faithful, and it just may be that they were always supposed to be in that position. "For Such A Time As This". That brings me to Esther. Read the book of Esther. Esther was Chosen by God to take the place of Vashti, whom had disobeyed King Xeres and not come out during a celebration the King held when he had requested for her to. If she had remained as Queen it would not have been a Good Look for the King, and the women in the kingdom would see her behavior as acceptable and behave the same way. To bring it into modern times, she was in the position of being a role model, a trendsetter. God cannot have his daughter's following any woman who is Disrespectful.. or even Wicked for that matter (insert Queen Jezebel here). God gave Esther Favor, which helped her in being Chosen by the King. Esther was not only to become Queen, but she was placed in that position in order to help save her people from destruction. If she had not been obedient and approached the King about the matter, herself as well as her people would have been destroyed. Don't get down if you see God's judgment whether in the church or in the world. If you are Led by the Holy Spirit to pray for someone, do so. There are some whom God has taken Grace away from, BUT there are some that God is wanting to Repent. If God is Calling for someone to Repent, it's Important to do so because you don't want to face His Judgment. Who He puts in positions He Can take down. He Can REMOVE evil people from positions. He Can Put His children in positions. He Can Give His children what He wants to Bless them with. GOD IS SOVEREIGN!!!! I am Excited for What God is doing right now for many people, and I am Excited for WHAT He is about to do This Year!!! The song "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins is almost like the calm before the storm. It's Both about God's judgment and God's Promotion or Appointments. Take a listen to this song,: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkADj0TPrJA&list=PL8Gk5ERgNmBvK_Owi5Jus__ee7RgcQIXb&index=14 and even the video is in black & white as if things are being made plain so that everyone can Understand it. "Here Comes The Hotstepper" by Ini Kamoze is a song from the 90's that was very popular and the Holy Spirit has brought it back to me recently. God's children are "The Hotstepper's"! Listen to this song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_17VOs86_90&list=PL8Gk5ERgNmBvK_Owi5Jus__ee7RgcQIXb&index=13 and follow with the lyrics to get Full Meaning of who we Truly are. For the lyric where "Murderer" is repeated.. think of it as slang like you are "killing the competition" with style, grace, and Gifting, and "slaying demons" in the Spirit (that reminds me of the 90's movie "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" lol.. BUT you can look at that movie like Buffy was CALLED to slay them demons! Lol). Understand that when we Step ono the scene, whatever the scene is, we are a Force to be reckoned with because of HE Whom lives in us!!! Like 1 John 4:4 "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." We will be put in positions to Shine!.. to be Light!... to get certain tasks Done! Smile & Stay Up! God Bless! 💖💖💖

Last month around Thanksgiving, my cousin Gia passed away. She was kind, loving, and had a sweet spirit. She was Loved and will be Missed Greatly. I want to say that Matthew 5:4 says "Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted." ✨✨✨ I am dedicating three songs to her. One is a cover of "Sweet Child O' Mine" by First To Eleven. This song is about remembering her from a little girl. It does not matter how old you get those memories will never fade. The second song is "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Puth. This song is about Family. It is also about how we miss our loved ones after they have passed away, but we always carry Cherished memories in our Hearts. Family can be someone you are related to, and friends can also be considered family. Also Remember Matthew 22:27-39 says, "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." This is how we should treat each person, with Love. There are people who have experienced loss this year, even around holiday time. You never know what someone is going through, whether it be a loss or a hardship. If you have been going through something, Remember that God Loves YOU and is Always With you to comfort you and supply any Need you may have! ❣️ The third song is a reminder for the holiday season as well as through the year. It is "Share Love" by Boyz II Men. Remember the Goodness of God & be Grateful. Remember to Be Kind to one another and Spread Love! 💖💖💖 Enjoy these beautiful songs & have a Blessed holiday season! : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J61mtatKT1I
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgKAFK5djSk www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7-7dr8P4k0 Achievements. Accomplishments. Goals. Things will happen as God sees fit no matter if you are past a certain age. We are never too old to do something that God wants us to do ..but the world says we can't do it because we're too old! I am being reminded of Matthew 25:15 which says "And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey." ✨✨✨ I started singing the hook in the song "We Are Young" by Fun a little while ago today:
"Tonight We are young So let's set the world on fire We can burn brighter than the sun" ..let these lyrics sink in! & enjoy this performance, they have Lit light blubs on the stage: www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8oOcgCzjsI You can set the world on fire and burn brighter than the sun! Just Go For It! 💖💖💖 #eligiblereceivers🏈🏈❣️ Happy Resurrection Sunday! 💖💖💖 The Holy Spirit had a live performance of "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence reach my feed a little while ago today. A back story on the song is that at the time the lead singer Amy Lee had been in a bad relationship, and one day she sat at talked with her bandmate at a restaurant. As he sat across from her he asked her if she was really happy. She said it was like he could see into her eyes like open doors. He could see the truth of what she was feeling. He would later become her husband. Here is the link to both the live performance and the lyric video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H3ZrAxZXMo&list=PL8Gk5ERgNmBulDJru7YIxNbtkcbZ0H7F4&index=54
www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTIc6AN1Yo0&list=PL8Gk5ERgNmBulDJru7YIxNbtkcbZ0H7F4&index=55 In this cover picture for the song you can see a lighthouse in the distance with lights beaming from it in the midst of a dark grey and black background. Amy is wearing a white dress which also means light in the midst of darkness; purity; cleansing. Another song came to mind entitled "Lighthouse" by New Direction. Click this link to play their performance on the Stellar Awards from the year 2000: www.youtube.com/watch?v=23KfcnMPyqM&list=PL8Gk5ERgNmBulDJru7YIxNbtkcbZ0H7F4&index=56 The lyrics are "Let the light from the lighthouse, let it shine on me! I wonder if the light from the lighthouse would shine, would shine on me!" John 16:33 says "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." Yes Jesus has Overcome the world! John 8:12 says "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." God sent His Son Jesus so that we would have Everlasting Life! Abundant Life! If you have been living a life without Christ in it, I encourage you to Come to Him today! He will not only save you from sin, but He will turn grey skies Blue and put a Smile on your face especially when it's Much Needed! He LOVES You! YES YOU! If you have backslid, you can return back to living for Him. You can do it today! 💖💖💖 Here is a prayer of salvation to for you to say: "Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of Your Son Jesus Christ. You said in Your Word that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13) Father, I am calling on Jesus right now. I believe He died on the cross for my sins, that He was raised from the dead on the third day, and He's alive right now. Lord Jesus, I am asking You now, come into my heart. Live Your life in me and through me. I repent of my sins and surrender myself totally and completely to You. Heavenly Father, by faith I now confess Jesus Christ as my new Lord and from this day forward, I dedicate my life to serving Him." **Next Click this link to receive free books: www.billwinston.org/salvation/ The Holy Spirit brought the 2003 movie "The Italian Job" to my mind twice this month and lyrics from the song in the movie by Boomkat called "The Wreckoning". Remember that God WILL judge your enemies. **God's Payback for all of the hardships and hurts that people have endured.. and God's Payback for all of the things that have been done in the dark, and done out in the open.
In the movie, the crew is devastated when their leader, John is killed by another member that turned on them. Charlie, the number two in the group, goes to see John's daughter in hopes she will join them to get revenge. They get revenge in the movie, and end up living the lives that they wanted to live. The most important part was that John wanted Charlie to leave the life of being a thief and enjoy a settled life with someone, and he found love with John's daughter. The full of Romans 12:19 says "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." It is Not for us to get revenge.. God's revenge, God's Payback, is something that we will Never Ever be able to even attempt to do. Allow Him to take the Hurt and the Pain and allow Him to Repay. And He Will.. that is what His Word says. In the song "The Wreckoning" by Boomkat, there are lyrics that remind me of God's Vengeance and also Recompense & Restoration: "'Cause the way I do my thing is strange I just inject myself into your veins Can't run, can't hide, there's no way out The sun will rise and its about Time for The Wreckoning Time time for this girl to sing" No one can Hide from God. He sees ALL and knows ALL. He also knows the Hearts of man. And what's done in the dark will come to light. Luke 12:2-3 says "2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops." "Time time for this girl to sing" means singing, rejoicing because you are now going to experience the blessings that God has in store for you! When God says it's time for "The Wreckoning", it's time for "The Wreckoning"! You are Loved by God and Better Than Blessed! It's Handled! 💖💖💖 Here are clips from the movie: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpM-QA_NoqY "May Christ's Birth be remembered in our Hearts and why He was born! Merry Christmas!" 💖💖💖 One thing that money cannot buy is "Joy"❣️💖💖... Our Heavenly Father wants us all to have Joy! Have Joy in your Heart and in your spirit! 💖💖💖 Jesus was the Greatest, Most Perfect Gift that God gave to the world... ❣️ "Joy To The World! The Lord is come! Let earth receive her King! Let every Heart prepare Him room! And Heaven and nature sing! And Heaven and nature sing! And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing!" Remember Philippians 4:8 says "whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." Think on things that make you feel Joyful, feel God's Perfect Peace! Take time to notice things like a sunny sky, or birds flying around.. even glistening snow on the ground if that is the weather where you are! Have a Blessed Christmas and Stay Tuned for new posts in the upcoming year! 💖💖💖 And here are four songs that will put you in a Joyful mood, Enjoy!: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8Gk5ERgNmBs1gw8LqxHyGbaEKaSeojhc Is there someone that God is wanting you to let go of, someone who is blocking you from Receiving your Promise from God? It could be the wrong relationship, or even the wrong association or friendship. Is there something that you have been doing, or participating in that you Know God has spoken to your Heart about not doing anymore? If the answer is yes for any of these things, you must Obey what God is telling you to do. Also imagine how it Hurts God when we have sinned, imagine how it grieves the Holy Spirit. He is Wise. He is All Knowing, All Seeing, and an Ever-Present Help in time of Trouble. Read and meditate on Psalms 46.. If you need help with surrendering anything over to the Lord, just call on Him and He will Help you! Also Remember Jesus is Your Help.. Call on Jesus! ❣️❣️
I am reminded of a song entitled "Fumble" by Trey Songz.. (no pun intended lol) which is about a relationship in which he lost the love of his life due to his (possibly cheating) ways. Then I am reminded of lyrics in "Bad Habits" by Usher, where he is talking about having one night stands and messing around with other women instead of being in a faithful, healthy, committed relationship with the woman that deep down inside he Knows he really loves. In both instances the men have a Problem that only God can Help them with. It doesn't matter who you have been or what you have done, God is More Than Able to Forgive you of sin, of wrongdoing. That is the focus for the third and final book in the Red Light Series, Fumble... when you have sinned but there is still a tugging at your heartstrings that you are feeling, and that is God wanting you to get back into the game and carry out the next play. Remember that it is not about how bad you messed up, but it's about Winning the game!.. you are on The Brink of your Greatest Blessing from God and you just don't know it yet! 💖💖💖 So Forgive yourself.. God has Already Forgiven you..! If sin caused you to lose out on that great relationship, remember that if he or she is for you, God will bring reconciliation, healing, and forgiveness between the two of you! There is NOTHING too Hard for God! Everything has to be in God's Will.. you want to be in God's Will for your life! Just Follow the Leading and Guiding of the Holy Spirit into ALL TRUTH, as He Touches your heart! Here are lyrics from both songs that resonate with the Heart of someone who has Realized they've done wrong, and listen to the Fumble playlist for songs that fit the theme of the book, be blessed! 🏈🏈❣️: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8Gk5ERgNmBv72qfGPZ6oghSlQvilDCLP Fumble: "We was so dumb in love, ah Couldn't get enough, no But I could've loved you so much better And I can't believe you never walked out And it's not your fault, oh-ooh That I fumbled your heart Should've let go of my past for you You did everything I asked of you Traveled cross country if I asked you to But I'm just bad for you I fumbled your heart I'm bad news, yeah, I'm just bad for you (Fu-fumble, I fu-fumble) I'm bad news, ah (I fu-fumble, I fu-fumble) I fumbled your heart Girl, you used to feel So bound in my arms I wish we could touch some more (It's eating me alive) I'm sitting there working on This letter (Wanna put my feelings down) The first line I write I was wrong So wrong, so wrong, so wrong, so wrong And it's not your fault, oh ooh It's so wrong, it's so wrong, it's so wrong That I fumbled your heart" Bad Habits "I love, love, I'm just bad at it I just can't escape all of these bad habits I had way too many one nights, yeah I keep messin' up my love life, yeah I love, love, I'm just bad at it I just can't escape all of these bad habits I had way too many one nights, yeah I keep messin' up my love life, yeah Every time I think that I found the one I turn around and then another one come On God, I be tryin' baby At least you know the truth, I ain't lyin' baby Every time I say my new girl is the best Then I get anothеr text from my ex ..it's like clockwork.. So, now you gotta pray just a little Make a way, just a little 'Til the day I finally figure it out Don't know what all these emotions about Baby I love, love, I'm just bad at it I just can't escape all of these bad habits I had way too many one nights, yeah I keep messin' up my love life, yeah" It's Resurrection Sunday!💖💖💖 "Jesus Christ the same yesterday٫ and to day٫ and for ever." (Hebrews 13:8) He LOVES us all Unconditionally! Jesus Sticks Closer than a brother (Proverbs 18:24)! There is NO Greater Love that a man lay down his life for his friends (John 15:13)! "Do you know٫ Do you know The Man From Galilee?... WHAT A MAN! HE'S THE MAN!.. JESUS٫ THE MAN! ❣️ Get to Know Him! I encourage you to give your life to Jesus Christ today! Say this prayer: www.billwinston.org/salvation/ ✨💖 Enjoy the songs "My Kind Of Love":
www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm-QcSo3flM&list=PL8Gk5ERgNmBtoeqewdbYRWGiU_0Td4f_Q&index=154 and "Unconditionally": www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XfqID8E_Pw&list=PL8Gk5ERgNmBtoeqewdbYRWGiU_0Td4f_Q&index=155 performed by Tessanne Chin from The Voice and lyrics are below! #eligiblereceivers🏈🏈❣️ My Kind Of Love: "..But don't ever question if my heart beats only for you, It beats only for you. Cause when you've given up. When no matter what you do it's never good enough. When you never thought that it could ever get this tough, Thats when you feel my kind of love. And when you're crying out. When you fall and then can't pick up, you're heavy on the ground When the friends you thought you had haven't stuck around. That's when you feel my kind of love." Unconditionally: Oh no, did I get too close? Oh, did I almost see what's really on the inside? All your insecurities All the dirty laundry Never made me blink one time Unconditional, unconditionally I will love you unconditionally There is no fear now Let go and just be free I will love you unconditionally Come just as you are to me Don't need apologies Know that you are worthy I'll take your bad days with your good Walk through the storm I would I do it all because I love you, I love you Unconditional, unconditionally I will love you unconditionally There is no fear now Let go and just be free I will love you unconditionally So open up your heart and just let it begin Open up your heart and just let it begin Open up your heart and just let it begin Open up your heart Acceptance is the key to be To be truly free Will you do the same for me? Unconditional, unconditionally I will love you unconditionally And there is no fear now Let go and just be free 'Cause I will love you unconditionally (oh yeah) I will love you (unconditionally) I will love you I will love you unconditionally" Hello everyone, I hope this post finds you well and in good spirits! :-) 🏈❣️❣️ This is the first devotional I am doing this year! :-) In the 90's I remember riding along with family in my aunt's car and she played Helen Baylor's tape "Look A little Closer" and the song entitled "Oasis" came on. It has a smooth jazz feel to it which I love and the lyrics are beautiful. The hook stands out so much to me now: "You brought an oasis, mm-hmm Right in the middle of a desert You brought an oasis, yes, You did Right in the middle of a desert Oasis, oasis Oasis, oasis" An Oasis is defined as "a fertile spot in a desert, where water is found". ✨💖 If you are in or have been in a Dry Place, a Desert, remember that God is STILL ALWAYS THERE! Water Found! He knows your Hurts and feels your Pain. He wants to get you through that hard time and provide you with the things that you need. He wants to provide you with Living Water as John 7:38 says "He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." and also John 4:14 says "But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." Also, Isaiah 58:11 says "And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not." He Loves You and He's Got You! Love. Joy. Peace. Living Water. Oasis. This past month I have definitely needed that as my father was killed by a drunk driver in January. He was well loved by many and it was a shock to us all. If something has happened, and there is no explanation for it, the One you must go to is God.. as I like to say, call on God, Jesus, the Holy Ghost and the Holy Angels for help! ✨❣️❣️ So you can be Comforted, so you can be Loved On. And Remember that the Holy Ghost is Your Comforter! (John 14:26) Along with the Love surrounding me from family and friends, I am going to Continue to Lean on and Receive Love from my Help! I say to you to do the same, especially if you have experienced any hurt or tragedy. Much Love to you all! 💖💖💖 Enjoy this wonderful song! 💖💖💖 :www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR4GLgBG7Pk&list=PL8Gk5ERgNmBv7ufz-ZI-8BRzIB7Z-NkOK&index=157 'Tis The Season! Jesus Is The Reason! I am reminded that the Reason for Celebrating Christmas is Jesus, and Jesus is Love! We ought to Love one another the way that Jesus Christ Loves, that is the Goal.. Show Love, Spread Love.. Agape, the God Kind of Love! It's not about getting or buying gifts, or material things but it is about Love. Doing something that is truly from the Heart. 1 John 4:7-9 is Fitting here "7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him." Amen, and I Praise and Thank God for Sending us His Son Jesus! :-) Let Us Love One Another! :-) Enjoy this video on my youtube channel of "Give Love On Christmas Day" performed by Michael Bivins, Bobby Brown, Wanya Morris, and Shawn Stockman from Boy Band Holiday: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYn44Ez-OKk and here are lyrics! Merry Christmas, and stay tuned for upcoming posts in the New Year! 💖💖💖:
"People making lists, buying special gifts Taking time to be kind to one and all It's that time of year when good friends are near And you wish you could give more than just presents from a store Why don't you give love on Christmas Day Oh the man on the street and the couple upstairs All need to know there's someone who cares Give love on Christmas Day No greater gift is there than love! What the world needs is love Yes, the world needs your love Why don't you give love Give Love! No greater gift is there than love!" |
