Well once again, here I am again, blogging about how Awesome that my God is! There is nothing that He won't do, according to His Word. Got the word today that two of my friends, both young, single young ladies, became first time homeowners TODAY!!! To God be the Glory!
I have always heard that Christmas is the season of miracles. Well, I am certainly seeing my share of them, especially this week, and the week ain't over yet! I know that that's not correct English, but I just had to say it, it ain't over yet!
I am in agreement with some friends for the manifestation of finances, and I just know that those finances will show up-SUDDENLY! I know my Father! I know that He will not fail us, forsake us, or forget about us! I cannot wait to share the testimony, and it will not be a long wait! Money you come to us now, in the Name of Jesus! I command you to come to us in supernatural abundance, in overflow. It is written in the Word that when I speak to the mountain, it will obey me. Money you must and you will obey me now! Come, in Jesus' Name. Thank you Jesus. Watch for the testimony!

More Than Amazing, More Than Wonderful, More Than Marvelous...
Wow, have you ever had a day that was just different? A day that was exceptional, a day that was extraordinary a day that was just wonderful? Well, today is that kind of day for me!
God is more than Amazing. I have had so many Praise reports today! God is super-moving!
I have always loved to be able to minister to those in need. My joy in life, besides being a child of God, and having a great family, is to be able to sit and minister, to encourage someone, to be able to pray and agree with someone, to just see satan stopped, and utterly defeated in someone's life. My passion is to see people walking in victory, and always winning in life. I have asked God to let me be able to minister to at least 5 people every day. I have been able to talk to one person so far in the last few days. I mentioned this to my son, about wanting to minister to 5 people each day, and his response was, "mama you minister to more than five people every day. He said, "every time that you post a blog, or post on Facebook, you have ministered to more people than you know!" I had never thought of it like that. I was thinking about actually talking with 5 people. I guess that I am then!
Today, the praise reports started coming in-
*First of all, last week on Monday night, I was able to minister to and pray with someone who was facing Foreclosure. The home was supposed to be sold by now. The person actually went to the court on the day that it was to be sold, in order to try to stop the sale, only to be told that it was too late and that there was nothing that could be done to stop the sale, but somehow, the person's name was "accidentally" left off of the list, and no one knew how that happened! (I certainly know) Today that person received a letter from the bank that held the loan, only to learn that the loan was sold, not the house, to another company, the past due amount rolled over to a new loan, with a new due date next year! Glory!
*Next, my cousin has a little boy who was born fighting for his life, he has down's syndrome. He is a beautiful, handsome little boy. Today, he took 3 steps by himself, walking on his own, not holding on to anything or anyone. These were his first steps! Glory! God is supernaturally moving in his life.
*Next, I blogged earlier about a friend's son who was in need of a kidney transplant. Last week, a kidney donor was located who was a perfect match. He had the transplant, and I received word that the transplant was successful, he is recuperating at home, and his body has accepted the kidney, all this in a matter of a few days! He is doing quite well!
*Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to pray with a wife whose husband would undergo a heart transplant this week. Not only was the transplant successful, but her husband is out of ICU and he is in a regular room, doing well, and asking for donuts! All of this happened in a matter of days!
Is God awesome or what! I have been teary-eyed all day! Not sad tears, but tears of gratitude and thanksgiving, for a God who really is more than amazing, more than wonderful, more than marvelous! God is really concerned about people! Nothing is too hard for Him. He does not get tired of blessing, and He wants to do good things for us!
There is nothing that we can't ask Him for. He knows how to pay off homes, he knows how to cause limbs to function, and He has a warehouse full of spare parts- hearts, lungs, kidneys. Whatever you need. Just ask Him! I guarantee you, He won't tell you No!

No Thank You...
Have you ever been annoyed by calls from "that" particular telephone company, who calls every day, always trying to get you to switch to their company, or always trying to get you to return to their company? We all know who it is that I am talking about! Well once again, they called me again today, for the 100th time. This time, I did something that I have never done before. I am so accustomed to them calling, and I really have their scripted speech down pretty good, so I know immediately from the intro...exactly who it is. Usually I allow them to give their speech (not because I really want to hear it, but they don't give you a chance to tell them no thank), then I politely tell them that I am not interested in their new promotions, or returning back to them!
Today when they called, I immediately said, "ma'am before you waste your time and mine, I do not want to switch companies, hear your new promotions, and please remove my number from your call list. Thank you"!
That just came out of my mouth so quickly, and I even startled myself. I could tell that even the person on the other end was quite surprised. She said, "ok maam, I will remove your number. She didn't even try to tell me anything"!
When I hung up the phone, God immediately said to me, "That's the way that you should respond every time that the enemy tries to come into your life with something that you don't want!" He said, "you didn't waste any time letting that person present their speech. You immediately stopped her. Do that with the enemy!" How many times have we let satan tell us some lies, things that we really don't want to hear! We are not interested in anything that he has to say, or wants to give us, yet we let him talk to us. Why? God said, "cut Him off!" Wow, God is so amazing! He will use every situation as a teaching, if we only listen, and expect Him to speak to us, all during the day! It is not always in a building, with a choir, a minister standing before us, it may not always be as a teaching on a CD or DVD, a TV evangelist, although He certainly speaks by these methods. It may be through someone constantly bugging you with telephone calls, through a sink of dishes, through any means that He chooses to use. We lock God into doing the same thing, every time!
Anyway, I just wanted to share again, how awesome that He is, and how much that God loves and cares about us!
Have a great day!

Salt and Light...
Good morning, I missed posting for the last few days. I enjoyed a great weekend away with my family, and as you see, I did not post at all. I had the laptop with me, but I resisted the temptation to post. I really gave my family all of my attention. I enjoyed a great football game, which was played by our local high school football team (we had to travel away to a nearby city to play, because we are now deep into the playoffs). Everyone in the city is so excited, because the football team has advanced in the playoffs, further than they have ever gone before, in school history. They were able to play in one of the NFL stadiums. That was a great experience for all. After the football game , which we WON, we ate at this awesome restaurant, visited family in that city, and then, I attended worship with my sister, at her local church, on yesterday. It was a really great weekend. I was also able to visit someone who had recently had a stroke, I was able to minister to her and encourage her as well. My greatest joy in life, is to be able to minister to someone, to encourage someone, and to give someone hope, and a reason to go on in life!
The minister, where I visited, spoke yesterday on a topic that I am well familiar with, but because of the cares of daily living, I have a tendency to forget....that we are salt and light! As believers, we really are salt and light! We are here to influence, and change our world!
Sometimes, as wives and mothers, fathers and husbands, employees, we often feel unimportant, unappreciated, sometimes unnoticed. Ever felt that way? The message on yesterday, reminded me that God made me, and if I am not important to anyone else, I am important to God! The scripture reference was from Psalm 8:3-8. The Psalmist asked God, "what is it about man (Mankind), that you love so much, that you think about us so much, that you care about us so much, that you would visit? Good question! When I stop to consider how awesome that God is, how mighty and powerful He is, how He holds the entire Universe in His hand, wow, what makes Him love man so much, regard us so much? I tell you what, I am sooooo glad that He does! God loves us so much! I know that I have said it before, but I must say again, that God loves us even more than we could ever imagine! He is NOT mad at us, He is not keeping records of our mess-ups, He is not trying to come up with ways to punish us, He is just not that kind of God and Father! He is not in the business of punishing! Yes, I know that we have been taught that God punishes, that is not true of us today. Back in the Bible when the Jews were under the Law, a man was responsible for keeping the whole Law, and if he broke one of the laws, He would incur the penalty of the Law that he broke. But, Jesus came,(Hallelujah) and God put all of the punishment on Jesus! We don't have to be punished, Jesus bore the punishment for all mankind! GLORY!!! We are forgiven, reconciled to God, and counted worthy, not because of us, BUT because of Jesus! EVERYONE is forgiven! It doesn't matter what you did, God is looking at what Jesus DID!!! That's why God loves us so much, that is why he is mindful of us. We are His children! We are not filthy rags, wormy, sinners! As far as God is concerned we are saints, kings, priests, His own dear children, all of us! This is true of all of us, IF you have accepted Christ's finished work on the cross, as payment for your sin. God has all of these wonderful blessings for all of us. Jesus died for all people, but if you don't accept it for yourself, you miss out, and will be out of God's best for eternity! God left us here for a purpose, to influence this world for Him, to be a world changer! We don't have to be victims of the world system, we don't have to be overcome by the world's challenges, the darkness of the world. We have a voice! We can stand for what we believe!
We are in this world as light in a dark place. As believers, we have the answers that the world needs. We know how to solve the economy problems of the world, the education, government. We have the solution!
We are salt! Salt is a preservative. We know how to preserve and prevent someone from being lost and going to hell, for eternity. Salt seasons. We can season this world with God's way, His presence, His love, His victory! Salt makes one thirsty. We have the ability to make lost people thirsty for Jesus, saved people thirsty for righteousness.
We are here for a reason. We are here to impact this world for Christ, and God has already equipped us to do so! The Greater One is in us! Have a Victorious Day!

Even Oranges!
Well, I believe in sharing about how God blesses me in such awesome and sometimes unusual ways. I love Cheddar's Restaurant, and I am a regular customer. I am in there at least twice a week. You might say that I like the place. I always buy an unsweet peach tea. Cheddar's always places an orange slice on the glass. I love their oranges. They are always soooo sweet, and just right. I have never had a great orange like they have at Cheddar's. I have gotten to the place where I now ask for an extra orange with my tea.Yesterday my sons and I went to Cheddar's for lunch. I ordered my tea as I always do, asked for the extra orange as I always do! On the visit, the manager stopped by our table to see how me were enjoying the meal. I told him that it was very good. I then told him about how I have never found such sweet oranges, as the ones at Cheddar's. I asked him if he purchased them locally, he said no, we get them shipped in. Anyway, I told him how much that I really enjoyed them. He then asked me, if I would like some more, and of course I said yes! This man comes to our table with a saucer full of sliced oranges, and a bag of oranges to take home! Is that awesome or what? Wow, that was so nice of him...great customer service! I shouted, "that's the favor of God"! When you recognize favor, and call it favor, God will see to it, that you receive more favor! So many times, God blesses us in unusual ways, and we just think, "aww that was nice", we go on, and we fail to see blessings when they are right there in front of us! The manager did not have to do that. He could have stopped with the saucer of orange slices, he didn't have to give me a bag of oranges. That was the favor of God!
That's why I love God so much! He never ceases to amaze me. Doesn't surprise me, but He amazes me a lot. We limit God to what we call major issues-sickness, financial worries, issues with marriage, family, needing a job, etc. But God is interested in everything that I am interested in, even oranges. He knew that I like oranges, and He caused someone to bless me with oranges! Thank you Lord!
He does those kind of things for me, and He will do them for you too. He cares. He cares about you! He cares about what you care about!, even if it's oranges!

Faithfulness Every Night!
Good morning world! It is 6:25 in the morning, and I am up and blogging! I have actually been up since 4:30 this morning. I am not by any means complaining. I slept good as I always do. I am not up because I could not sleep. When it comes to sleeping, trust me, I know how to do that! Sleeping has never been an issue with me. I know how to sleep!
No, I am up because I had to be. Have you ever had to do something? Something that you absolutely had to do. Something that you don't know why, but you could not rest until you did it. That's what happened to me this morning. I had to get out of bed to read. Read what? Read for some reason, the 91st Psalm. Psalm 91 has got to be my favorite psalm. God's Word is powerful, God's Word is rich, but Psalm 91, is my favorite passage of scripture! Don't get me wrong, it is all good, it's God's Word, but it is just something about this psalm that blesses me. I have read it time and time again!
For some pressing reason, I just had to get up and read this at this time this morning. I read this psalm this morning, as I have done many times before, but I didn't stop at psalm 91, but continued to psalm 92. Usually I stop at 91. This time, I was impressed to go on, I went on and I read psalm 92, and verse number 2 jumped out at me, almost as if it literally came off of the page! Verse 2 states: "to declare your lovingkindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night". It was the "faithfulness every night" that got my attention.
I immediately thought about sleeping, of course. I have several friends that have had trouble sleeping at night, for many years. One in particular, has taken every kind of sleeping aid possible, to no avail! For over twenty years this friend has taken prescribed sleeping medication. Others have just not been able to sleep either because of fear of being in the house alone (one has a husband who sometimes works night shift, and one is a single lady), or some deal with worry about an issue or something else. When I read this scripture (verse 2), I really got excited! Here was their answer! God is faithful every night! He is faithful to give them sleep when they are afraid to go to sleep when they are at home alone...He is right there with them to protect them, He is faithful to give them sleep when they are worried about something...He is right there to let them know that He knows all about what they are concerned about, and He is well able to fix it, and He is faithful to give them sleep when they are unable to sleep just because...He giveth His beloved sleep!
After I finished reading, I turned off the lights and I told God that I was just going to lay there and be quiet because I knew that he was going to talk to me about what I had just read, and He surely did!
He said that it was not only about sleeping, and it was not only when the sun goes down at that time that we call night. He said that "night" for some people was at noon! He said that for some people, it is dark in the middle of the day! For some people, it is dark and night at 1o'clock in the daytime. He said that because of issues that some people are dealing with, many are in a "dark" place, for many, the day is "night"! I knew that he was gonna tell me something, because anytime that God gets me up at 4:30 0R 5:00am in the morning, and it is as pressing as it was today, I know that He wants to talk to me! He said that it was not only concerning sleeping, but it was about anything that has troubled us at night. He said that some people fear night driving, some fear leaving their house at night, no matter what the instance is...I am faithful every night! That blessed me. That is major to me.
I think about so many people who have been in "bondage" because of issues dealing with the dark. God is God just as much at night, as He is in the day! I think about those "dark" times in people's life... times when worry, doubt, fear, depression plague them! God is faithful every night, even if your night is at 12 noon.
I don't know about you, but this ministered to me. It may not have meant a thing to you, that's alright, it may not have been for you. But for those who have struggled with sleeping, or night issues, this is your answer...God is faithful every night! The Message translation states it this way, "your presence all through the night". That's good!
Thank you Lord for speaking so powerfully this morning!
Have a good day! ~Gayle
