What is Love?

What is Love?GodisLove

Is it a tender kiss? Is it a smile that warms you from across the room? Is it flowers and heart-shaped candy given to you on Valentine’s Day? Sweet, yes, but is that love? Not quite for these things are but a shadow of what real love is.
Love is God, for God is Love and His Love was made perfect when He gave up His Beloved Son Jesus so that the objects of His Love can receive the gift of eternal life.
Love left His Kingly throne to become flesh and make His home amongst us. To feel what we feel and learn what its like to be human. Love didn’t come to judge or condemn, He came bearing the gifts of grace, truth and hope. Love gave sight to the blind, speech to the mute, Hope to the brokenhearted and liberty to the bound. When asked by one who was sick and made to live as an outcast in this world, “If you are willing you can make me whole.” Love touched whom the world had thrown away and said, “I am willing.” And He made this man and countless others whole.
He was stricken for our sake and we thought Him cursed by God. Many despised Love. He was betrayed, falsely imprisoned, beaten, spit on, ridiculed and rejected by the ones He came to save. Love had the power to save Himself but He chose to submit to the will of His Father.
Love was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities. Love chose to be nailed to a cross to bear all of our sins. At the appointed time Love died on that cross, taking our shame, guilt and sickness with Him. As promised Love rose three days later victorious for He overcame our biggest fear, which is Death.
Love took our unrighteousness and gave us His righteousness. Love took our pain and guilt and gave us His everlasting peace. Love took our weakness and gave us His Spirit. Love made us sons and daughters of God. He bore the wrath of God that was meant for us so that we may receive the fullness of His Father’s Love.
Love loved us even while we were still in sin. Love laid down His life so that we can take up His. That…is … Love! Christ is Love!

rose2My Valentine Prayer

Father God and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ I just wanted to take this moment to say that I love you. You are my Heaven Valentine. You gave me your Heart so that I may live. Thank you for loving me first. Thank you for loving us with an unchanging and everlasting love.
Happy Valentine’s Day God’s beloved! Know that every day is Valentine’s Day for you who are in Christ. In Jesus name, Amen.
“…if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have Love, I am nothing. If I give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have Love, I gain nothing.”-1Corinthians 13:2-3

The Purpose Of Fasting



 
The Purpose Of Fasting

We begin 2016 with our 3rd annual corporate Daniel Fast.For those of you who are in our listening audience who may not know what is a Daniel Fast.It requires a diet composed of fruits, vegetables and nuts daily for 21 days. Now I imagine this sound quite difficult and to be honestly it is very difficult.However the spiritual benefits are far greater than the physical challenge.First Lady Tamara Hornbuckle timely message entitled “The Purpose Of Fasting” will focus on some key areas regarding why we fast and the spiritual benefits doing a fast.

Minister Renaldo Duncanson (Against All Odds)



Listen to Message: http://goo.gl/GngRFgListen to Message on ITunes: http://goo.gl/Q0OWip


Mark 10:17-27 describes the rich young ruler’s encounter with Jesus.The rich young ruler mentioned to Jesus that he has been faithful to the 10 commandments and wanted to know more he could do. Jesus replied sell all your possessions and follow me. The young ruler walked away troubled by this response. In spite of all that the young ruler had done, he was willing to gamble eternal life in exchange for his worldly possessions.

Finding Your Purpose


Everything in creation has a purpose. The sun and the moon have a purpose. Our oceans, the animals, the trees all serve a purpose. The organs, nerves and cells of your body all serve a defined purpose. What are you doing for the kingdom of God?
If the smallest insect serves a purpose, if the wind, something you can not see has a purpose, surely you child of God, you have a purpose. What are you doing for the kingdom of God? I know what you’re thinking,this isn’t a good time for me, I don’t have a degree, I have no experience. I don’t have the finances, my life is a mess right now. Answer me this, name one person in the bible whom God used with a degree in theology. Name one with a perfect resume, a perfect life, name one that had it together when God called them. The only qualifications the Father is looking for is a willing heart. You see when the Spirit of God is with you and in you; that same power that raised Christ from the grave, you don’t need a Masters or a PhD. You don’t need a six figure bank account. The only letters and numbers you need are G-O-D, He’s number one!
In the kingdom of God there’s only one thing that is needed and that’s Him. It’s only through Him your going to build that ark, through Him your going to set His people free. It is only through Him that the vision for your life will be fulfilled. Please don’t misunderstand what I’m saying, I’m not trying to down those of you who have these things. I applaud your achievements but see it not as self promotion, see it as a divine placement, a platform to spread God’s word. Ask yourself, how can I use this achievement to promote the kingdom of God?
You who are heaven bound, sons and daughters of the Most High are you willing to serve? What are you doing for the kingdom of God?
Jesus walked this earth with a purpose and when He hung on that cross, beaten, bruised and wounded. He who was without sin became sin so that we can live…life…free, the righteousness of God in Christ. With His last breath on that cross Christ declared, “It is finished!” I don’t know about you but when I take my last breath I want to be able to say, “We did it Father, all that you asked me to do, it’s done. My purpose was fulfilled. Thank you for using me!”
What are you doing for the Kingdom of God? What is your purpose?  What gifts do you bring to the king? If you don’t know what it is.. “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”Matthew 7:7-12
Writing is the gift that God has given me, I submit myself as His pen. Whatever He places on my heart, I write and share. Every person reading this post has a purpose, every child of God on this earth has a divine purpose.  You know the will of the Father is to see that none perish. Christ came to set those bound by hurt, shame and sin…free.  He laid down His life so that we may have life lived abundantly. He is that life. As believers it is our task to share that life and light to the bound, lost, and broken. Are you willing to lay down your life for them? Will you take up the cross and share  Christ.

My Prayer For You


There is this consistent theme in the bible. Throughout scripture, God uses people to express His love and fulfill His will through. God needs you. I have one favor to ask of you, seek God about His Plan. Ask Him what He would have you to do for His Kingdom. What gifts can you bring to His table.  It is my prayer that  God will reveal your purpose to you.
May God bless you and reveal His heart to you. Amen.
