If old oak trees could talk

So many different kinds of oak trees, no one oak tree shaped the same. Their branches are not tamed, some give shade, some bloom, some shimmer the light of the moon but, I want to talk about old oak trees. Let me tell you how they fulfilled needs, if they could "they tell many stories  "There have been tree houses with toys,  children's swings hanging down; picnics under the old oak on the ground, for trees stay scared for all the names and hearts that were carved. Chase has been played around the oak trees; children have even scraped their knees. 

God gave us old oak trees to make us happy, it started way back with our Granny and pappy, sitting under the oaks entertaining friendly folks; I look at old oaks as a family tree many stories to soak. Many stories to tell and see, under the oak I'm sure even prayers on knees. 

If you have an up old oak at your place, give the trees another story to face, get on your knees, pray and ponder look at all God's wonderful Grace. Hang your troubles on that oak tree, God will hear your plea and he will release a peaceful breeze, while you praise him on your knees. So praise the one who created all this the Lord Jesus Christ who sees. 

“One Definition of a strong oak “

The oak can withstand incredibly strong storms, like tornados and hurricanes. Even when they are stripped of their leaves, oak trees survive because of their strength, their curvy branches, and their  

incredible roots. 

“What is special about oak trees”

Not only are oak trees resilient and stunning, but they also symbolize wisdom, courage, and endurance. The tree's height, long lifespan, and deep roots ensure that it sees and experiences many events throughout its lifetime. An oak trees are unique. 

As Spirit filled men and women of God, we can stand the strongest storm. Our foundation in God builds a strong faith in his hands he forms.  

With the faith of God in us, we can  plant our limbs as deep as we root Ourselves in our savior. 

It is then we have confidence in our mind, body and soul we have his  favor. We are planted on a firm foundation. God makes us strong, and gives us wisdom, courage, and endurance to shine inspiration.  

Sometimes you have darts shooting at you from all directions. Remember who your protector is. The Lord God almighty. Remember, it might be just growing pains. A test we pray we pass. All in all We can't lose our sparkle. Stay strong, trusting in God Almighty.

Goodness is God!!

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Psalm 34:8 He is good, for he makes all those that trust in him truly blessed; let us therefore be so convinced of his goodness. 

For God is a great, lavish giver. 

His grace is more than sufficient. 

His mercy is boundless and deep. 

His unfailing love can fill your day with the sweetness of His word.  

As His word drips into your soul, it's sweeter than honey. Coating us with His protecting love, peace, and Joy. What a good God we serve!! No matter what we face He is all ways there with us. 

Growing A Ministry

I have been reading this book on growing a ministry.

 I thought I would share some of what I have read. 

We all have some form of Ministry. We need to stay positive, focused, and Pray, pray, pray. 

Sometimes things can become overwhelming and discouraging. 

 Keep your attitude positive and your vision clear. And, above all, pray without ceasing for yourself, your leadership, and your church. What does ministry look Like? You! Unique and gifted to serve wherever God leads. If God calls you to lead, He has equipped you to do all He ask: If you are in some kind of leadership look to train leaders and volunteers. A leader works alongside their team. Your team should also include people with different leadership styles. If you only choose people like yourself, there will not be balanced in your planning or  ministry. Sometimes God uses ordinary, inadequate people to accomplish extraordinary ministry through his power. 

Pray about what God has in store for your life. He will equip you for His Kingdom. You can become a blessing to others. 

There are many messages Bro. Dobbs has preached, That God has tucked down into my heart. One message was I am highly favored and blessed of the Lord. That I am the Kings Prize possession. Last night Bro winters preached a wonderful message being thankful and how blessed we are.
As I was praying I looked up to God and thanked him for right where I was standing in that sanctuary.
I thank Him for a sound mind. 2Timothy 1:7  I thank Him for loving me. I thank Him for so many things.
 I have way more than a lot of people.  Just to breathe In the grace and the love of Jesus is all I need. Everything else is just stuff.

Don't be blinded

Hearing the word this morning made me want to share this.
The enemy starts out making you think it's all fun and games, then he brings one more deceiving devil then another one and so on Blinding your eyes until he destroy your home, family, health, mind, and your life.
He does it little at a time. Until you are so bad on drugs, alcohol or being immoral, whatever the case may be. It is your choice to turn to God before it one day too late and you lose what may be precious to you. Don't let the enemy gradually chip away at you until He destroys you. Please don't be blinded. The enemy loves to be scheming and deceiving. He slowly destroys you if you let him.
It was preached this morning about the man in the Bible that was called Legion. Just think about it he was not born with all the bad spirits, but he gradually got them one by one. He isolated himself. He Went into a dark tomb where he was tormented. Day by day you can fall into a dark place Isolating yourself from  the one that truly loves you.  People may have tried to help him, but the only one who could have helped him was Jesus when he fell down at his feet.
God gives you a Choice. If you're in this Situation just run to him find an altar somewhere. Before it's too late. He is waiting for you. The choice is yours.
John 10:10King James Version (KJV)

10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
