I know He is the beginning,
so why do I worry about the end?
I know He is the Creator,
so why do I wonder who will destroy?
I know He has forgiven me,
so why can't I forgive myself?
I know He is a healer,
so why do I speak of sickness?
I know He can do all things,
so why do I say I can't?
I know He will protect me,
so why do I fear?
I know He will supply all my needs,
so why can't I wait?
I know He is my strength and my salvation,
so why do I feel weak?
I know that everything and everyone has a season,
so why when someone's season is over do I weep instead of rejoice?
I know He is the right way,
so why do I go the wrong way?
I know He is the light,
so why do I choose to walk in darkness?
I know that whatever I ask of GOD, GOD will give me,
so why am I afraid to ask?
I know tomorrow is not promised,
so why do I put off for tomorrow what I can do today?
I know that the truth shall make me free,
so why do I continue to lie?
I know He gives us revelation, knowledge and understanding,
so why do I lean on my own understanding?
I know I should live in the spirit as well as walk in the spirit,
so why do I choose to live in the spirit but walk in the flesh?
I know that when praises go up, blessings come down,
so why do I refuse to praise Him?
I know I am saved,
so why do I refuse the word He has given me?
I know He has a plan for me,
so why am I rushing it because I am eager to do His will,
when it is His time not my time?

You've Got Mail
I suppose that if you are a part of the computer generation, the first thing you do in the morning is to switch it on. Then after a few necessary things and pouring a cup of coffee, you sit down to check the weather bug and see who else is online.
Yes, we live in a very technological world. We can play games with a friend in another state and fax a letter to someone in another country instantly.
It is well known that received emails are not always desirable. We learn to sort them out, deleting the spam and with experience, (sometimes acquired the hard way) carefully erasing the evil virus from our computer without any harm to our equipment.
Perhaps if we looked at some of the lessons in the Bible from this standpoint, it might be more enlightening. Let’s look at Ephesians, chapter four, as though it was incoming messages.
Just as we receive computer information daily from different sources, our mental computers are fed from various points of origin also. And like our email, we learn to avoid the questionable addresses. Practice lets us know that they are not so easily recognizable as well as www.satan.something.
We should delete the old man of sin and to reprogram the spirit of our mind. Lying is to be erased and speaking the truth should be saved in a permanent file. Bitterness, wrath and evil conversation should be deleted and kindness, tenderheartedness and forgiveness should be forwarded to everyone we know. Temptation is a terrible virus and there is no protection from it. Everyone in the literal World Wide Web is subject. It must be respected for the lasting damage it can cause. Yes, our whole system could crash! Let not the sun go down without deleting this type of incoming messages.
We must remember that outgoing email should not be filled with evil communication but only those things necessary for edification that it may impart a blessing to those who receive it and not grieve the Holy Spirit who inspired it.
Ephesians 4:22-32
Thank you Sister Dody Gibson

About Me
- J.A. Vazquez
- I'm just, a nobody, trying to tell everybody, about Somebody who can save anybody. First I want to give love to the Father for giving me the opportunity to be an instrument for him to live in and live through for the glory that belongs to only him and Him alone. I served in the United States Navy for twenty one years and retired September 2003. During the last 3 years of my naval career, I served as co-pastor of Greater New Refuge COGIC in Fallon, Nevada under the tutelage of Pastor Gregory L. Brown. While there, I diligently served my pastor and church with the construction of a new sanctuary, and caring for the needs of all ministries, while simultaneously striving to stay focused on the mandate that the Lord had placed upon my life to preach the Word of God without compromise. I was licensed to preach November 2002 and Ordained June 2003. While stationed in Virginia Beach, Virginia, I proudly served and as constituent of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church for seventeen years under the leadership of Bishop Elect W. D. Scott, Sr. and presently serve under the leadership of Bishop B. Courtney McBath at Calvary Revival Church in Norfolk, Virginia.
