Happy Easter 2025
The miracle of Easter for me is this, that a man who was condemned to die in sin was saved on the cross before His taking his last breadth and confirmed by Jesus’ to spend eternity with Him in paradise.
Luke 23:43 ESV
And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
That saving grace, which was activated even before Christ died on the cross is still available for you and I today. No matter how grave our sins are, if we believe in our hearts and confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord, we will also spend eternity with Him in paradise.
I pray for you that if you do not know Christ, this miracle on the cross will be yours as well. Let it be so and so it is in Jesus’ name. AMEN!

He Was Sound Asleep
In Matthew 8:23-27, there’s a story about Jesus and his disciples who were traveling in a boat across the Sea of Galilee when a severe storm suddenly arose and the waves were crashing over the boat. While the disciples were terrified of drowning, yelling and screaming to God for help, the son of God who is one with the Father was on the boat with them and very sound asleep. They finally woke Him up and He commanded the storm to cease and it did immediately.
I’ve been intrigued about this story for many reasons but I’ll share a couple of thoughts with you. The disciples knew the power that Jesus carried, they knew He was there with them on the boat so why were they afraid? Sounds just like you and I doesn't it? We know the Lord is with us, we know we believe in Him and He said He will never leave us nor forsake us so why are we always afraid and in panic when storms come our way?
Notice Jesus’ reaction - He was very sound asleep in the midst of a deadly situation knowing very well that no occurrence on this earth has ANY power over Him. I think He still looks at us the same way He scolded the disciples on that faithful day - “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Fear is natural, but faith is supernatural. The awareness of Jesus Christ in our lives should cause our faith to always overrule our fear.
My prayer for you this week is that the same power that raised Christ from the dead will quicken us into faith, believing that Jesus is with us through it all and He will never give us more than we can bear what life throws at you. You’re an overcomer and it is settled in Jesus’ name. AMEN!

Declarations For April 2025
The blooming of the flowers, seeing the empty branches spring up with greenery and life again is a hopeful experience to behold. Each season in our year tells a story of life. I declare that in this month of April;
May God give us of the dew of heaven
and of the fatness of the earth
and plenty of grain and wine.
Let peoples serve us,
and nations bow down to us.
We will be lords over many,
Cursed be everyone who curses us,
and blessed be everyone who blesses us!”
(Genesis 27:28-29 ESV, paraphrased)
Let this be so and so it is in Jesus’ name. AMEN!
