Blessed with another year

As the clock hits 12:00 am, today is the day I was born into this earth on April 10 in Brooklyn, New York. My journey has taken me to Guam, The Philippines, New Jersey, and Georgia. In the now 39 years, I have traveled the world and seen the good and bad that this life has. I have very few friends but I have a loving family and more importantly, a loving God.

I thank you lord for EVERYTHING. I thank you for your love and your grace. I thank you the cross and the fulfillment of scriptures. I thank you for the Holy Spirit. I thank you for your patience. I thank you for the people in my life.

Chase not the praises of man but the heart of God. PJSLB

No matter what the future holds, my God reins over all now and forever.

Love someone like you love Christ

A reminder to my brothers and sisters in Christ. How you act reflects on all Christians out there. Have a great day everyone. God bless you. PJSLB

Christian struggling with thoughts

ISB asks the following:

Good morning. Distractions and thoughts are trying to pull me away from my goals. How would you approach?

Thanks for the question. For me it depends where the distractions are coming from. If it’s outside influence like movies music tv people etc. I start by removing myself from that. If it’s a supernatural attack I look at it this way. You are close to a breakthrough and the devil is throwing everything he has at the last min. Hold on as tight as you can. Stay in your bible, music, anything to get thru this storm. Your almost there!

If you have a question or just need someone to bounce ideas off, we are here! Have a great weekend everyone. PJSLB

Strategic Role of Prayer

I found this on my phone and to be honest, I don’t know where it’s from. I could of written it, it could of been a lecture at a church, school, or seminar. I do know that it’s message is powerful and is something that can benefit someone out there. God Bless. PJSLB

The Strategic Role of Prayer

Luke 6:12-13

“One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. When morning came he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles:”

Where does our strategic direction come from?

Where do we receive counsel for the most important decisions that we make?

Jesus spent the night praying to God. Prayer was two-way communication for Jesus, where the Father provided a relationship in which Jesus could process his decisions and receive counsel.

Are we fully utilizing the potential of prayer to sort through our issues and receive God’s counsel and perspective?

The most important decisions leaders make concern the people with whom they will chose to surround themselves. Prayer is one of the most under-utilized resources God has given us for discernment, decision making and strategic planning.

Lord Jesus, I desire a deeper level of dependency on you through prayer. There are more strategic decisions that need your insight, direction and counsel. Thank you for the Holy Spirit and your invitation to pray.
