Jesus is the answer. All you have to do is pray, have faith, and believe. I give honor and thanks to my Lord an Savior, Jesus Christ, for all things. God has certainly always had His hand on my life, even in the times I was doing my own things and not following what God had purposes for my life. Growing up in church from a young child, I have always knew the Word, I loved God and the church, but my commitment was not present and I strayed doing things I had no business doing. I am so grateful for the keeping power of God’s grace and mercy. He kept me and always reminded me of His Word. He spoke to my spirit and let me know He will always love me. I have such a reverence now for the Holy Spirit, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ there is no turning back. God now allows me to evangelize the gospel through teaching, prayer, song and prophecy. God has also given me a ministry to help others in Relationship and Divorce Life Coaching. Through prayer, my own experiences and the certification training, I am now able to help others overcome barriers they face, such as sadness, defeat, fear, anger and rejection. I am so thankful that God has allowed me and entrusted me to do His will and to minister to his people. I give all the glory God.

All scriptures are referenced from King James Version of the Bible. Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Jeremiah 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 28:19,20 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

This episode is the first episode I did on Wisdom.com: In scripture the "Latter rains" are rains that occur after crops have begun to grow and these rains provide water for nutrients and sustenance of crops. Scripture speaks of the latter rains in James 5:7, Deuteronomy 11:14 Zechariah 10:1, Joel 2:23-24 In scripture the first rain were for the seeds to start growing and so that they would sprout. But the Latter rains sustained those plants to continue to grow until it was time for them to be harvested. God's Holy Spirit represents these rains. One can do a study to learn about Gods outpouring of His Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost and then, in the time we are living now, how Gods Holy Spirit continues to be our strength for today. I don't want to go into the detailed study because what God had given me for this episodes is a Word of encouragement for someone to keep pressing on and stay in faith. Many times we worry in prayer, but God's Holy Spirit is always with us as our comforter, our peace and our deliverer. 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. (Ephesians 6:10)
John 3.16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Psalms 34:1 I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

John 3:16 For god so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. God loves us dearly. He wants us to love Him the same. He wants us to know Him perand love Him just because He is.
Psalm 3 1Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me. 2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah. 3 But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. 4 I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. 5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me. 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about. 7 Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. 8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
Matthew 11:28-30 Come into me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matthew 7:21-23 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

It is time we open our spiritual eyes to what is happening in our world. Satanic forces are moving about the lands seeking whom they may devour. Sickness, disease, racism, hate, chaos, disorder, immorality are spirits that have even infiltrated the church and the people of God are silent. Satan knows his time is short, and the trick of the enemy is to come as a beacon of light, so that all will follow him. Do not be deceived by what you see with your fleshly eyes!! Open your spiritual eyes and hear God speak. The time is at hand that we must fast, pray and seek God like never before. The time is nigh!!! Seek the Lord while He may be found!!! Do not be deceived!! Matthew 13:14-15 (also see Acts 28:27) 14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: ‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive; 15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.’
Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:
In the Name of Jesus, We have the Victory In the name of Jesus, In the name of Jesus We have the victory, In the name of Jesus, Precious name of Jesus Demons (Satan) will have to flee, Ooooooh Tell me who can, stand before us when we call on, That Great Name Jesus, Jesus Precious, Jesus We have the victory! John 16:33 - 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. Romans 8:37 - Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Matthew 24 Matthew 25 Luke 21 Revelations 22:12-14 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Exodus 23:25 (NKJV) 25So you shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you.
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Luke 18 (KJV) 18 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
Numbers 22 It is important that we obey God's Word in all things. Many times we think we know what's right, and God says to do something different. We keep asking God for direction, because we don't like the answer He gave. The next thing we end up doing things our way for selfish reasons, but now, we have angered God, and He leaves us to our own accord because although,we asked for God's perfect will, we ignore it, and do things our own way. God is not going to force us to listen to Him, He will step back and let you do things your way, but you will find, there is either trouble, things are more difficult, unsettling occurrences, and there isn't any peace. God wants His perfect will for our lives. He wants us to love Him so much that we willingly follow His Word.
Ephesians 4:31-32 K(KJV) 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
There are many problems we face in society today. It seems that trouble is always around us and trying to bring us down. God still reminds us to be encouraged, to pray, to have faith and look toward Him. Don't give up! He is our help in the time of need, He is our strength and He is our way maker and our peace.
Praying for Christians in: Sri Lanka, Nigeria, Burkina Faso in Africa, Pakistan, China 2 Corinthians 4:8- 9 (KJV) 8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 1
Psalm 91 (KJV) - 1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
In all that we do, we must put God first. Be humble, submit our lives to Christ and through Him will we find mercy, peace and grace.
Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV) 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Mark 16:15 (KJV) And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Matthew 11:28-30 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Romans 10:9 (KJV) 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Acts 16:25-31 25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. 27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Psalm 136:1 (KJV) 1 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. The greatness and awesomeness of God is more than we can ever fathom or imagine. His grace and mercy abound continually toward us. Many times we don’t realize how God has stepped into our lives to help, to give us peace, protect us, or give us favor. The entire scripture of Psalm 136 is such an awesome praise to God exclaiming the mercy that God shows to His people time and time again. How amazing is our God
John 14:16-18 (KJV) 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
1 Peter 5:1 - 10(KJV) 1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. 5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
One of the most difficult things for us to do is to put off past hurts and not be bitter or angry at those who have once hurt us. God wants us to be free from hurt and sadness. He wants us to walk in unity as a people, to love one another unconditionally. With God first in all that we do, He will heal the hurts. He will heal the friendships. He will heal marriages. God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. Trust God, release your hurts and bitterness and be free to walk in the love of Christ
(Please wait a minute after the pause for this episode to begin) Just like the woman that was brought before Jesus and the men desired to stone her, or Mary who was a prostitute and washed the feet of Jesus and many others who sinned and God showed his awesome mercy. God loves us in spite of all. He wants us to love Him.
1 Thessalonians 5:17 - Pray without ceasing. Romans 8:26 - Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Ephesians 6:18 - Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Psalms 34:17 - [The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
Matthew 6:5-13 (KJV) 5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
This episode is very simple. I will be talking about just trustingl God through your circumstance. God knows all and He will see you through. "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not in your own understanding. But, in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
God knows our troubles. He knows our needs and desires. All we have to do is have faith and trust that He holds us and covers us through the storm.
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:1 (KJV)
Hebrews 4:16 KJ Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Psalm 63:3-4 3 Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You. 4 Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.
Deuteronomy 31:6(NKJV) 6 Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”
Psalm 31:1-3King James Version (KJV) 31 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. 2 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me. 3 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.
Philippians 4:4-9 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things arelovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.
Acts 2:21 (NLT) But Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
