Recently, the 10^th Female Nurture Block Graduation took place! This is an opportunity for the ladies to talk about how God is transforming them little by little, like all of us. They are able to recognize the grace and power of the Holy Spirit in their lives.

I often remind the ladies it is a privilege for them to have this opportunity. There is a process for them to be selected to participate. Last week one of the ladies revealed during my visit that they had applied 8 times before being selected. This brings the practicality of making the time and fellowship God has granted us sacred.

Although God is always present with us, we open with prayer because I want the ladies to have a reverence of who God is in our lives. I like to say we officially invite him into our meetings when we open with prayer. It also sets the tone of why we have gathered together.

Continue to pray for these ladies. They have many challenges, obstacles, and battles they face even in jail. Satan still harasses them as former graduates from the program. Some have come back to our meetings asking for prayer and sit for encouragement. I redirect them and remind them of the power they have in Christ. It is through Him that we live, move and have our being (Acts 17: 28)!

The best advice I give them and everyone else… Keep Your Eyes On God! He will get you where you need to be. It may not always look like we want it to look. It may not feel like we want it to feel. Invariably, the end result will be what we are seeking… Amen.

So as you pray for the ladies, pray they will stay focused on God. It is when we lose our focus on Him, we get lost. We are like sheep who are prone to wander. However, Jesus, our shepherd, will always come looking for His own. Thank you, Lord! Love & Blessings!

God is always working. He uses US to get His work done on the Earth! Where Is God Now Ministries, Inc., recently had a community food drive. Your financial and food donations made it possible to help feed those in need at Dominion Pines Apartment. Additionally, Street Side Pizza And Hoagie donated delicious pasta meal for the residents.

How we treat others is huge with God. It exemplifies what is in our hearts. Our love for others, sharing our resources and generosity put a smile on God’s face. It reflects His son, Jesus, in us. His spirit dwells within US! This is how God works! It is a BEAUTIFUL thing!

Every day is a day of thanksgiving! God has been good to each of us whether we realize it or not. He has kept us from danger, seen and unseen (Psalm 91: 3-7). He has made our crooked places straight (Isaiah 45:2). He has promised never to leave us (Deuteronomy 31:6). These are just some of the things that represent God’s goodness.

Satan does not want us to remember God’s goodness in our lives. First, he tries daily to strip those memories from our lives. Next, he wants us to focus on the negative things that have happened to us. We have to realize those thoughts and memories are not of God. Those are memories we must not dwell on, but cast away (1 Peter 5:7).

So as we live our lives we should be focused on the goodness of God. The Bible says we should praise God from sun up to sun down (Psalm 113:3). One of the ways we do this is to focus on God’s goodness.

There will be times in our lives that bad things will happen. If Jesus suffered, surely we will face some suffering in our lives. Moreover, we will share in Jesus’ sufferings and His glory (Romans 8:17-18). Even so, as Christians, Jesus gives us a supernatural power. Furthermore, it helps us to endure our trials and tribulations. We have peace, love, joy and the rest of the Fruit of the Spirit!

The mere fact that we have Christ in our lives as Lord and Savior is something for us to be thankful for. God draws us near to the cross to accept His son. We should be thankful that we accepted that drawing as some have rejected it. The Bible says they will be lost to eternal damnation (Matthew 25:46)

Our eternal security with God is something to be thankful for. However, our relationship with God goes deeper than that. As a result of Jesus’ death and resurrection, we have been set free. We have been given abundant victorious life on the Earth. Therefore, no more chains and bondage hold us. Instead, we have the Holy Spirit who leads and guides us each and every day. We have an intimate relationship with our Father God. These things and more represent the goodness of God… Happy Thanksgiving! Love & Blessings!

Where Is God Now Ministries, Inc. is partnering with Dominion Pines Apartments in Chesapeake for a much needed Pop-up Food Pantry for their low income residents. We are looking for pantry staple food items from canned goods (fruits, vegetables, beans, etc.), box goods (crackers, instant noodles, etc.), pastas, rice, tomato sauces, tuna and other canned meats, peanut butter, jelly and most kid’s favorite… cereal (hot or cold)!

Most of these low income residents rely on food assistance where they can receive it. We wanted to bring the food pantry to them, instead of them using additional time and monies in transportation to get to the food. These transportation funds can be kept in their pockets and used to pay other bills.

Additionally, some may have been impacted in other ways with the government shutdown either through employment or receiving other assistance. We believe this Pop-up Food Pantry will help to ease some of their burdens.

We will collect your food items on Wednesday, November 19 and Thursday, November 20 for the Pop-up Food Pantry at Dominion Pines Apartment on Friday, November 21. Please send me an email letting me know to pick up your items. As usual, if you would like to drop items off at my garage door we will be so thankful! Further, you may also drop items off the day of the event at Dominion Pines Apartment, 529 Pine Valley Run in Chesapeake.

As Christ- followers we represent Jesus on the Earth. We are His hands, mouth, and feet! It is an honor and privilege to allow Him to use us on the Earth. His Spirit speaks to our spirit all the time, if we are listening.

Where Is God Now Ministries thanks you for your generous donations for the Winter Coat Drive. Your generosity provided 75 winter coats, jackets, sweaters, hats, gloves, and scarves. Your donations will for sure put smiles on many faces of the clients at the Chesapeake We Care Resource Center. God is smiling, too!

God gets His work done on the Earth mostly through people. WE are the hands, mouth, and feet of Jesus on the Earth…Amen!

Thank you for your continued love & support…

The temperatures are starting to drop outside. Help us in keeping those in need warm during these cold fall and winter months. Where Is God Now Ministries, Inc. is partnering with Chesapeake Cares Resource Center, formerly, Chesapeake We Care Center to provide winter coats, gloves, hats, and scarves.

Your new or gently used items will go a long way with those in need trying to make ends meet and in some cases looking for shelter. These donations will help in easing their many burdens. We can reflect the hands, mouth, and feet of Jesus.

Collection dates are Saturday, November 15 and Sunday November 16. Send an email so I can make arrangements to pick up your items. As usual, if you want to bring your items to my garage door, you may do that. Please send me an email so I can be on the lookout for it. We appreciate all of your efforts!

Thank you for your continued support. Your encouragement and prayers are meaningful. Specifically, your prayers for the ladies in jail that we minister to weekly is always needed. Unfortunately, Satan does not quit harassing them once they are in jail.

We know Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10). I have seen some of them get the privilege of attending the jail ministry and violate that privilege. They are then sent back to the regular pods. God can still work with that, too. We never give up on what God can do in a person’s life… Amen!

Many live in some type of bondage. After all bondage is what Satan uses to keep us oppressed. As a result, it depresses us. Therefore, we have anxiety and a host of negative behaviors and feelings to destroy us.

Jesus invites us to FREEDOM! In John 8:31- 32 Jesus encourages us to continue to follow His Word. This is because His Word represents TRUTH. It is the only TRUTH that matters in this world. Why? It sets us FREE!

The distractions in this world that Satan has blocks us from our freedom. Subsequently, we don’t see it because the distractions are intoxicating. They entice us to go down roads threatening ultimately to destruction. However, Jesus knew this. It is why He gave us John 8: 31-32.

We must always walk in TRUTH. In some ways I believe this is so sweet in how Jesus is trying to direct our paths. Undoubtedly, He knew we would get distracted. We are prone to wonder (Isaiah 53:6, Psalm 119:10, James 5:19). Jesus plainly tells us that the TRUTH will set us FREE! Who would not want that? Love & Blessings!  

Galatians 6:7 in the New International Reader’s Version (NIRV)of the Bible reads, you can not outsmart God. God is brilliant! He knows all. He sees all. Truth will always prevail. God ensures He is not a man that He should lie (Numbers 23:19).

We do reap what we show. Further, if we are sowing good fruit we will reap a good harvest. In contrast, if we are sowing bad fruit, we will reap a bad harvest. The choice is ours.

When we continue to read Galatians 6: 8 – 9 it confirms we reap what we sow. If we sow to the flesh and other Earthly desires, we will reap destruction and death. Those who reap of the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Satan’s deceptions lead us to believe because we are not reaping early or right away with our sin, we are okay. Many times we will keep slipping right into a hole. Later we find the struggle of trying to dig yourself out of. It was designed to destroy us. Again, one of Satan’s deceptions.

Reaping of the Spirit brings great Fruit to us on the Earth. We get the Fruit of the Spirit of love, joy, peace and the rest of the Fruit to live in. This brings us an abundant and victorious life on the Earth.

I believe we miss some of this great Fruit. Sometimes, we become weary in well doing. However, if you continue to read Galatians 6:9, it encourages us not to become weary. Moreover, we will reap a harvest if we will not faint. Continue to live and walk in the Spirit! Amen. Love & Blessings!

Last week we talked about God’s Truth being greater over our truth. This week I want to continue to talk about God’s Truth. Psalm 100 is one of my favorite Psalms. It was a Psalm that was taught to me as a child. A Bible verse that sticks with you as you grow up.

Richard Smallwood wrote a song based on this Psalm called, “Come Before His Presence.” This is a song that brings me to tears. It is the Spirit of God’s Presence that I love so much when I hear this song. Isaiah 66:11 says God’s word will not return void. This means His Word will succeed in its purpose. This is another one of God’s Truth.

When you read Psalm 100 it says God’s Truth endures to ALL generations. That means it goes on forever! You can not change it. We can not change it. No one can change it. His Truth marches on! (The Battle Hymn of the Republic).

So when we become confused, frustrated, disappointed, etc., in life, we go back to God’s Truth. His Truth is what we stand on. Regardless of what is going on in life, God is always good. We may not understand it all the time, but God’s ways and thoughts are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9).

There are some things that God’s Truth proclaims that we may not like. Sometimes we may not agree with it. However, God’s Truth still stands. Again, His truth endures to All generations. We want to change God’s Truth and we simply can not. We either believe God or we don’t. We either trust God or we don’t. This is the importance of us knowing God’s Word for ourselves. His Truth will visit us, prompt us, and in some cases conflict us.

We know that we grow in our Faith every day. It is a journey. It is a process. As a result, we have to be vigilant, because Satan will sneak in and try to lead us into beliefs that are not of God. God has given us ALL that we need to enjoy our life on Earth. It is in the Spiritual realm. Furthermore, Heaven does come and visit us on Earth with the many blessings we receive. Jesus died to give us the abundant, victorious life God promised (John 10:10). God’s Truth will keep us on this path. Amen. Love & Blessings!
