Everything in black and white is not always true,
God's Holy Word knows just what to do.
Everything in black and white is not always right,
Only God's Holy Word can win this fight.
This is truly God's battle and it's not by might,
God's Holy Word is Spirit and it's not by sight.
So speak God's word faithfully and don't be afraid,
For God is the one that the battle is weighed.
You will see throughout your days,
That God is for you and not to be amazed.
For God said, "Surely blessing, I will bless thee..",
So keep your head up and just let it be.
You are blessed, without a test.
So Praise the name of the Lord!
The Fig Tree Withered Away
Whoso keeps the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waits on his master shall be honoured.
The fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of you hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
I tell you, Nay: but, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish. He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbered it the ground? And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that you shall cut it down.
The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign you over us. But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honor God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees? And the trees said to the fig tree, Come you, and reign over us. But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees? Then said the trees unto the vine, Come you, and reign over us. And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheers God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees? Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come you, and reign over us. And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth you anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
For a good tree brings not forth corrupt fruit; neither do a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
As for these things which you behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? And he said, Take heed that you be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draws near: go you not therefore after them. But when you shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. And it shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. And you shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess you your souls. And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws nigh. And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;When they now shoot forth, you see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise you, when you see these things come to pass, know you that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch you therefore, and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Honor to Whom Honor
And herein is that saying true, One sows, and another reaps. I sent you to reap that whereon you bestowed no labor: other men labored, and you are entered into their labors (prophets, apostles, then us). If you didn't labor for the meat, then don't act like you receive it from God, through your labor. Don't muzzle the ox that treads out the corn, the laborer is worthy of his reward. All that is received from God is God's and is freely given to us. But when others are blessed of your labor, they should give honor to whom honor is due. Especially those that labor in the Word and in His doctrine should receive double-honor. Let God's holy word be true. Thank you, Lord Jesus for lifting my spirit..For we shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make us free..Amen.
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the Holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
God Does Speak
If God said, Stand still and see the salvation that is with you today, then stand still and see. If you must get across you must walk by faith, and so the people walked on dry land. But standing still without seeing your salvation, how would you cross to the other side? Faith without works is deed. He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap. By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you: when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon you. Faith does come by hearing and hearing by the Word Of God..Amen.

Kingdom Of The Truth
Jesus answered, You say that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice. John 18:37..amen. God's Kingdom is a Kingdom of the Truth...The Kingdom of God don't come with observation saying, "Here it is or there it is"..For the Kingdom of God is within you...amen.
The Promise Children
If people say that they are Abraham's seed they would do the works of Abraham, right? Abraham was called out from his kindred to a place, God would give him..the word says "Come out from among them and be separate..." Are you Abraham's seed according to Christ, He said to forsake all and follow him, these children are the seed of Abraham..amen.
Love One Another
If we love God, we will obey God..because He said, love one another...not because we love one another, but because He said, to love one another...His Spirit is righteousness...be led of the Spirit of God in everything you do and you will love one another...Amen.
Walk By Faith Not By Sight
Maybe I was looking at people that I seen in the natural around me, to help me. One day, I took my son to Lansing we thought the young lady was going to give us gas money to return home, to my surprise, the young lady was not. My son, surprising said, "Let's pray", but I said, "Let's wait to see what she is going to do for us first". She called the police on us, so we prayed at the gas station, no one helped us at that time, not even the policeman. We were lost later at another gas station, I prayed again, this time alone. And God lead me to ask again, and the man was very cheerfully wanting to help with directions. So I asked him, and he cheerfully gave me ten dollars. We got home safe that night. And another day, God used a man I never knew and never seen before, to bless me with gas in my car without asking the man. This happened twice, one man said "That's just not enough, Ms." when I put only a dollar in the tank, he gave me the rest. And the other day God told me to talk to a man that I never knew and never seen and that same man ministered to me when my car was on flat because I was scared to get home by myself..Another time, I cried out to God when my car had ran out of gas in the middle of the street, how scary that was, and a man knock on the window and said, "Do you need any help?" this same guy didn't want anything for his services, not even a ride home because he was walking, out shoveling snow, because it was a storm at that time. He pushed my car over to the gas station, put five dollars in my gas tank and said "Go straight home"..these are some of the stories that can prove that God don't need your natural thinking to bless you..All your friends and family is not always going to be there when you need them. So count on the Living God, and call upon his name..amen...God does have people and God does have servants that will do his will..Jesus, you are my only friend and my salvation. Walk by faith and not by sight..amen. Just remember, God is more than enough..
From Such Withdraw Yourself
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw yourself. But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But you, woman of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, where unto you are also called, and have professed a good profession before many witnesses. Our faith in God is not greedy of money, for the love of money is the root of all evil. People say, That they are blessed if they have a lot of things, Christ spoke, that a man's life is not about what he possesses. For He has said, ''I will never leave thee nor forsake thee, so we may boldly say the Lord is my helper, I will not fear what man should do unto me. He knows what we have need of before we ask. So ask and be content with what you have and be thankful..Thank you, Lord for keeping me from the evil..

Your Blessings, Now In This Time!
Then Peter began to say unto him, Look, we have left all, and have followed thee. And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that have left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold NOW IN THIS TIME, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. But many that are first shall be last; and the last first. Mark 10:28-31 God does have a blessing for his children on this earth, be patient. Your inheritance is own it's way. You are a heir of God. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and they that are therein...God has given us favor as a shield..Nothing shall He withhold from them that walk uprightly, Hallelujah!!
