About Me

I think one familiar short, yet most powerful statement a believer can say is "I’m “Walking by Faith”. At my age, I have been through countless storms, some small and some big. Nonetheless , my faith continues to carry me through. This is my life’s testimony. The world wants you to believe that there is something wrong with a life like mine because I've gone through and I’m still going through. They want you to believe that if you have what the Jones’s have then you are living a fulfilled life. Pretty funny, huh? Well, I walk by faith, and I know I’m God’s best. That should be fulfilling enough, and God is still completing me as I happily tell my story about how more complete my life is. As you walk by faith, you will be strengthened. You need to understand that challenges are merely new opportunities for you to reach your greatness. Finally, know that your life will truly be blessed when everything that you touch will provide you with a blessed life and no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. "Whatever I go through, whatever happens, "Either Way I Win"; whether God heals me here on earth, or heals me by calling me home to be with Him, "Either Way I Win"!

Going through


When you’re going through you never really notice the effect it has on you until the end. You don’t realize how strong you are! The power you really have. You keep saying to yourself “the Lord is my strength”, but do we really understand what we are saying?
There is life and death in the tongue. At every moment you have to chose to speak life into your situation.
As I look over everything I have and still am going through I thank the Lord, because He has chosen to cover me. A person who was once tangled and twisted in sin, yes me! I too have my faults, l'm Still Covered. You must remember that God has a covenant with you and it is Your own fault as to why the covenant is broken. But God’s GRACE and MERCY…
1 – I have realized that I am the one who has left the covenant! Can you say that about your relationship with God? Can you take the responsibility for the action you have caused in the relationship? God is calling for His people to be more in-tuned with Him. God wants the first! Everything we do we must acknowledge the true and living God. Can you say your actions are honorable? God has called you and me! You are a Beautiful person. Take it, own it, and allow God to move for you.
During this time of re-defining or I should say re-discovering my relationship with God. I had to seek Him, just as I would any other relationship in the world. It’s no different! Look we know that the Lord thy God is our Friend, but can you say the same thing in return? Honestly!!!!!!
If you are seeking to build a relationship with God then, here is help; James 4:7-10 says "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up.
You might be thinking why these scriptures. It’s simple, James tells us how to become a true friends and with that we need to have a personal relationship with Him, without it we won't know Him and will not understand anything we can do and what He (Jesus) will do. His power encompasses everything we are involved in.
“What a friend we have in Jesus" I pray we all get to know Him and that is through a relationship that based on seeking His face every day. Be Blessed.
May God's face forever shine upon you. Just want you to stay encouraged and know the Promises of God so you will make it through this Life, with Hope to know their is a God who will protect, provide and prevent the enemy from taking you out. And Love you unconditionally. James Cruse
