The Matters of the Heart with Bishop Sharon Jones

This episode will be very special and very rewarding to your life. We are not two OLD hens cackling, but we have something to say that will bless your heart and bless your families. Listen in as these prayer warriors, speak volume to your prayer life.  

Now, we all know that the safest place to be in the deep water is in a boat, (my guest said, "in a ship"), wearing a life jacket, and sitting on a life jacket, especially if you can't swim. Some of us have been in the comfort and safety of the boat too long. It's time to trust God, trust his word, and step out in FAITH. It's Time To Get Out Of The Boat. My special guest today is Elder Walter Hall. A young man who loves God and has an anointing on his life to preach and teach the gospel. I know that as you listen in, you will be blessed. ENJOY!

How much do you love, and are concerned about the ones you say you love? How much do you care? How much do you want God to bless them, and keep them, provide for them and preserve them from the evils of this world? IT'S ANOTHER TIME TO PRAY!

"Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip." (Hebrews 2:1)

Today, 3.8 million breast cancer survivors, and those living with breast cancer, use October as an occasion to share their personal cancer stories amid celebrations and memorials, for those who have lost battles with the disease. Every activity that is held try to be a source of encouragement to the women and men, yes men also suffer from this disease, who are yet going through the treatments, pushing forward, keeping their faith alive. Listen in as Elder Melody Parker gives her personal testimony of being a 32 year survivor. I know something is going to be said that will bless you and give you strength for your journey. NOW, listen in!

You can be going through something so hard in your life until you start to wonder, "Why am I here?  Why did God create me? Why was I born? What is my purpose?" All of the whys and the what for questions start to enter your mind. You question your existence. NOW HEAR THIS! You, yes you, are special to God. He made you in HIS image. He made you to have fellowship with HIM. You are special.

Be perfectly honest with yourself about this question. Whether you are going to church or not, be honest. How many of you think that you can hide things from God? Doing things that God cannot see? Saying words that God cannot hear? Let me kill the lie that the enemy is trying to make you hide behind in your actions. You can't hide anything from God. He is the all-seeing, all-knowing; before you say it, before you do it, God. You can't hide ANYTHING from God. If we're true and honest with ourselves, then God can help us! 

Have you ever heard of a “happy” brain chemical? Neither had I. But there is such a thing. The Bible says in Proverbs 17:22, “a merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” Medical Researchers say, Laughter is the Best Medicine. Listen! This episode is going to bless your heart.  Lose that frown and ENJOY.

Christmas is a beautiful time of the year with all of the beautiful colors and lights. When I look into the eyes of little ones, oh the joy. When I see the faces of seniors light us and to hear the beautiful music. Christmas music is not like any other.   Christmas is a time we can gather with family and friends and just fellowship with food. It's a time to remember the love that God has for us, to give His only begotten Son.  Listen as I read The Reason for the Season from the Holy Bible. ENJOY!

Just a short word for someone that will bless your life and set you free. "Let grown people make their own decisions. Make their own mistakes. It's THEIR decision." Free yourself!

WOW! It's been a while. BUT WE'RE BACK. Thank you for joining me. We will be opening this new episode with a discussion from my RefresHER Retreat on beautiful shores of Daytona Beach. It was PHENOMENAL! Even though this was a women's retreat, the panel's discussion is appropriate, and needful, for men and women. "UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS DRAIN YOU: IT'S TIME TO REFRESH." Sometimes in choosing friends and relationships, we can make decisions that are not healthy for us; and if truth be told and we are honest with ourselves, those friendships and relationships can drain you, almost, dry to the bone. LISTEN to the end. It will bless you.  Now enjoy!!!

You may not really realize it, but, there is power in your tongue. The tongue can be used as a weapon to harm and destroy, or a tool to build and heal. Your words have impact. Your words can cause a forcible collision to come into your life. Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. Open your hearts, listen, and be blessed.

The Lord is pouring an overflow on the church. Who is the church? The BELIEVER is the church. Are you prepared to ride the wave? Ride it out to the end.

It's been 2 years. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!! God Bless us all.

During these two years plus of the Corona Virus and all of its variants, the racial unrest, the political divide that has literally pitted our nation against itself; and so many other issues that we must deal with every day, it has caused the faith of some to grow and to trust God in spite of what is going on around them. Yet, there are some who have found themselves weakened in their faith, and weakened in their confidence and fellowship with God. It is not because they have lost their belief in God, that's not it, nor have lost their desire to be a part of his kingdom, not at all. But they have the feeling of somehow being abandoned and left alone to carry a load that is just too heavy. That is truth! LISTEN and be encouraged.

You may have never experienced prayer before in your life, and you just don't know what to say. It's not hard. Talk to God like you would talk to your best friend. You spill your heart to your best friend. You trust them to keep what you are saying in confidence. They will not be able to help you in every situation, but God can.

You may feel, sometimes, that God is not listening to you when you pray. But I tell you, that not only is he listening, but his eyes are on you. He knows right where you are in life. He's listening to every word that you speak, not just from your lips, but the words from your heart. Yes, God hears the words of your heart. He desires to be strong in you and to grant you those things that you ask him to do with a truthful heart. Listen and enjoy!

Isn't it something that even in the times of hardships, difficulties and uncertainties, that God, while we are going through, while things don't look so good and prosperous, is YET breathing on us a refreshing assurance that his promises stand sure in our lives. God is sending showers of blessing upon us. Listen and enjoy.

Let me say this to you my listening friend. Being a child of God does not exempt us from trouble. It won't stop it from coming. But the comfort is in this. We are not in it alone! The Lord is with us.

 The Lord sent YOU a 2 minute encouraging word. LISTEN.....

The month of February was Debt Cancellation and Money Management episodes. What's that in your hands? My guests gave us information on how to get out of debt and how to stay out of debt by learning to manage our money. You need to go back and listen to those again and make it up in your minds that you are coming out of this and staying out of it. Debt is not the plan of God for our lives. Healing and prosperity is the plan. It's a "I wish above all things" with God. I feel like running! Listen to my personal testimony AFTER I followed the plan. 

A personal question TO ALL of us no matter the age. What are you doing with what's in your hands? We so often are very careless with our time and money, and think that God is not watching nor is he concerned. Yes he is! God sees, cares, and take note. Can you be trusted? A good question to ask yourself. CAN I BE TRUSTED? If we are faithful over a little he will make us ruler over many; (can I say much.) What are you doing with what you already have? What's in your hands? Listen and Enjoy...

We MUST start early teaching our children the importance of money management. If this had been taught to us when we were children we would be doing better. When I was making plans for these episodes on Money Management I thought about this generation of young people who understands the concept of spending money (your money), but not how to manage, save and invest money.  My guest Twyla Prindle-Ivey is a specialist in helping and teaching children on handling money. She is President and founder of Kash Kids. Through her foundation she teaches children basic financial and entrepreneurial principles... learning the importance of goal setting and finding your passion to fulfill your purpose. I encourage you to listen in and have your children listen to this episode. This is rich information that we all need no matter the age. LISTEN...

The Lord has said this is our season of the open door. It's our season of increase and the overflow. We are decreeing and declaring that we are going to be millionaires WHEN we are over our head in debt, and quite frankly a lot of us don't want to do what it takes to get out of debt. We must learn to use money better. I believe my guest in this episode, HELEN CRAWLEY-AUSTIN, entrepreneur, author, speaker, real estate investor, life coach, and a seasoned Corporate Executive, is going to help us do what we must do to clear our way to getting the money we decree and declare. LISTEN and be blessed.    

The Lord has said this is our season of the open door. It's our season of increase and the overflow. We are always decreeing and declaring that we are going to be millionaires WHEN we are flat broke, busted and disgusted. It's time to get our finances together. I believe my guests over the next few weeks are going to be a blessing and you don't want to miss these Friday episodes. They are going to help you with Debt Cancellation and Money Management; show you how easy it is to get in debt and the courage you MUST have to work hard at getting out of debt. LET'S FREE OUR MONEY! Listen in and invite someone else to listen also so that we all can gain some knowledge.

I'm starting 2022 off with a BANG! My only biological, from my womb daughter, Shantel Teneshia Jones-Cross is with me on my first episode for the new year. It's time to MOVE! It's time to walk it! It's time to talk it, and declare it to be so! It's going to be an OPEN DOOR SEASON (spiritually, mentally, and financially.) IT'S TIME TO STEP! According to your faith be it done unto you. Listen and enjoy.

New look! New episodes! Same music!  Join me. It's going to be a blessing.

We wish you a Merry Christmas. We wish you a Merry Christmas. We wish you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year. From my heart to your heart, in the words of my 2 year old granddaughter Carrington whom birthday is today, Happy Birthday Ganny's baby, "IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY!" MERRY CHRISTMAS! Remember, Jesus is the reason for this beautiful season.

On this Christmas Eve as so many of you are preparing for your family gathering, cooking your cakes, sweet potato and pumpkin pies, turkey and stuffing filling your home with the aroma of love, let us remember the true meaning of the celebration. 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. The Christmas Story according to scripture. If there had not been the Birth, there would not be the Cross… No Birth, No Cross! No Cross, No Resurrection! No Resurrection, No Salvation! Thank God for the birth of Jesus Christ. 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. Listen and enjoy.

Have you ever seen a surfer preparing to ride that ideal wave? They wait for it and watch for it. They know when to get in position, get on their knees, stand up and stretch their arms to sore through the wave, and ride it to the end. Well, God is getting ready to do something in those who are devoted to him, who worship him, and who has given and will give their life to him. It's time to ride this wave. God is about to send a wave of anointing through the body of Christ. He is about to send a flood, a surge. Get ready! Position yourself! Get Ready! Get in right place and right position! Get Ready! RIDE THE WAVE!

Calvin Coolidge said, "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence or DETERMINATION." Talent willl not because nothing is more common than unsuccessful individuals with great talents. Education will not because the world is full of educated men and women who, in school, were great scholars but had no firmness of purpose. So they did absolutely nothing with what they had. It's time to grab DETERMINATION and go to greater places and do greater things. LISTEN AND ENJOY.

If we are to be all that we ought to be in Christ, we must allow his Word, and the truth of his Word, to be a part of our daily life. It must dwell in us, live in us, and remain alive in us richly. We must walk, talk, and meditate on the Word of God in our hearts and in our minds every day. The Lord will give us peace if we keep our minds on him. Listen and enjoy.

I just want to share a little nugget with you. A nugget that I know will bless your life and the life of your family. Are you going through something right now? In your family? In your home? Are your precious children acting like Be'Be'Kids? I believe this episode is going to help you and encourage your heart. Listen and enjoy.

In a society that is very dedicated to ones self, how I am doing, what I am doing, will it happen for me? How do we oppose the pull to separate ourself from others? Why is it so important for the Christian family to assemble together? Listen, consider and enjoy.  

I want to have a conversation with parents about your child/children. So much is going on in the world today. So many distractions for our children that's pulling them away from their good home training or the lack of it. It's time for parents to step to the plate and handle the position of parenting. Our children are an echo of us. They are an image of their home training. I know that some of them are displaying a learned behavior demonstrated by  children raised by reckless, careless, and very irresponsibile parents. It's time to take a look in the mirror and see if we are doing what we have been charged to do. Parents! Grandparents! Guardians! LISTEN and ENJOY this episode.

This episode is from our She Leads discussion. I believe the topics are going to be a source of strength for each of us.  We all are going through something. Can I get someone to tell the truth and acknowledge that truth? We ALL are going through something. What I'm going through is different from what you are going through; but it's something. We're fighting an enemy we cannot see but we feel the force of the battle. And listen. It's time for us to keep each other encouraged. Yes it's stressful and it gets hard sometimes. But you can make it! Listen, receive, and enjoy.

It's so important that we take care of ourselves. Number one, we've got do this for ourself, then, for our families and everyone else. We must try very hard to keep up. Let me say that again. We must try very hard to keep up. Keep up? How do I keep you? Can you, (somebody) please explain to me, how do I keep up? I need some help!!!!! Read and enjoy.

It's time for us to take a look at ourselves, and examine our hearts and see if it is functioning in LOVE the way that God intended for it to function. LOVE only means to treat a person the way you want to be treated, enemy or friend. How are you treating yourself? Listen and enjoy!!!

The Gift that keeps on giving. LISTEN and enjoy...  

I am so happy to have a very special young lady with me today. Let me read what her father says about her.  “To say she is a jewel is an understatement. In fact, not even an ultrasound would show you how vast and infinite her heart opens to those who need and hurt…As witty as a comedian, and as prayerful as a church mother…Cora is an intricate mixture of contemporary ministry and old school prayer.” Bishop T.D. Jakes. Now listen and enjoy.   Click the link below for more information and how to register for the Women's Conference.  ISHSHAH Women's Conference 2021
