Happy History month..
 

First HARRIET ROSS TUBMAN,(1819-1913) timeline; 1819 Birth,  Araminta Ross [Harriet Tubman] was born into slavery in 1819 or 1820, in Dorchester County, Maryland. Given the names of her two parents, both held in slavery, she was of purely African ancestry. She was raised under harsh conditions, and subjected to whippings even as a small child. She slept as close to the fire as possible on cold nights and sometimes stuck her toes into the smoldering ashes to avoid frostbite. Cornmeal was her main source of nutrition and occasionally meat of some kind as her family had the privilege to hunt and fish. Most of her early childhood was spent with her grandmother who was too old for slave labor. Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad. Born a slave, Harriett Tubman became a famous "conductor" on the Underground Railroad, leading hundreds of slaves to freedom. Harriet Tubman became famous as a “conductor” on the Underground Railroad during the turbulent 1850s. In (1913 her death) Before she died on March 10, 1913, she gave her home for the elderly to the Methodist Episcopal Zion Church.

Residents of the city that day unveiled the Harriet Tubman Plaque, which remains on display at the entrance of the Cayuga County Court House. She has since received man honors, including the naming of the Liberty Ship Harriet Tubman, christened in 1944 by Eleanor Roosevelt.

Good morning Children of God,
The Living Word of God - Freedom  !

Scripture warns us about false promises of freedom. For it is written in Ezekiel 33:13, When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it. As He spoke these words, many believed in Him. Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."Do you not know that?  Read 2 Corinthians 3:17-18, Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. The question is do you desire true freedom? Now read Galatians 5:1-2, Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. Understand, you were called to freedom by God. For it is written in Galatians 5:13, For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. True freedom occurs only in the heart when it  is changed from within and made new. Why ? Because the heart needs to change first. If our hearts are not changed, neither will our behavior change daily.  That’s why the Bible says that true freedom begins in the heart. We act on our thoughts and behave according to our desires. True freedom only exists in Jesus Christ children of God. For those that are free, stay strong and finish your race set before thy!  May God bless you and stay worthy of the calling children of God! Let us be servants to one another by the Holy Spirit.Amen ! Thank you Lord for your loving kindness. Amen again ! Click on- http://www.nyhistory.com/harriettubman/home.htm

The Living Word of God - Trust Him !

For the Children of God
The Living Word of God - Trust Him !

For it is written in Proverbs 3:5-6,Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Get sound doctrine, by the word of God, "let no man deceive thee". Some people maybe thinking how can I know the truth? By seeking God's face, day and night ! Now understand,we can't do anything by our own strength, our dependence is in him ! Without an attachment to Him, we wouldn't be able to do anything, including living and breathing. God is incorruptible and immortal in his nature.The Bible says He is our “All in All,” it's in 1 Corinthians 15:28,And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. If you’re sick, He is your great Physician, if you’re weak, He is your Strength, and if you’re in trouble, He is your Deliverer or Lawyer ! " HE IS THE GREAT I AM " trust in Him! Without Him, we are helpless, hopeless and powerless. Whatever God's plan is for you, He will give you the ability to fulfill his purpose for your life. He had a plan for each of us before He created the earth. Again, Who do you say, "I AM" ? He is the vine; we are the branches, without an attachment to Him, we wouldn't be able to do anything.  Read Acts 17:28,For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. So many people have put limitations on themselves and God! Just as Paul said in Romans, some people worship God,not as God, but as a man, as a human being like ourselves. It's in Romans 1:21-23,Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things. Let us pray together, Heavenly Father, forgive us for being unwise children. For we seek your wisdom daily, teach us Lord. For it is written in Titus 2:11-, For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.Trust in the Lord with all your heart Children of God.Thank you Lord for your Living Word. Amen !

                                           Understanding God's Word       
For it is written in Philippians 4:6-8, Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

The Living Word of God for Us - His Name !

Good morning Children of God,
The Living Word of God for Us - His Name !

For it is written from the beginning in John 1:1-4,In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. Our God has loved us enough to reveal His personal name to us, so we can call Him by name! Jesus called his twelve disciples together and began sending them out two by two.The disciples were called not only to be Jesus' companions but also to be his witnesses to all of His teachings, miracles, and power. They were called and chosen to give a first-person testimony about Jesus' whole ministry. Are you a disciple of Jesus? Have you counted the cost of following the Lord and totally committed your life to Jesus? A true disciple completely adheres to the teaching of Jesus and makes Jesus Christ their number-one priority daily. A true disciple is actively involved in making other disciples. Children of God, it's not your age, nor your size, it is being an servant to God and worshiping Him in Spirit and Truth. The Great Commission of Jesus is not just to preach the Gospel to everyone, but to make disciples so the Gospel can be effectively preached to everyone.The Great Commission includes teaching disciples to do all the things Jesus taught His original twelve disciples to do.That includes healing the sick and raising the dead! For it's in John 8:57-58,Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. Now read John 4:23-24,But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Understand, God is teaching them, by telling them Abraham came into existence by birth, being limited for " I AM" unlimited ! God Almighty Himself, has spoken to the prophet Moses and He has spoken too us "I AM" ! Moses said to God, Behold I am going to the sons of Israel, and I shall say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you. Now they may say to me, "What is His Name? What shall I say to them?" This is the name revealed to Moses when Moses asked what name he should give to the Israelite's, if they asked what His name was? And God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM" and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, I AM has sent me to you." Understand, we are human beings, but God is simply “Being” meaning He has no beginning and no ending ! Now get this people of God, who's speaking__? God told Moses to tell them, “I AM that I AM” or I am the Self-Existent, the Uncreated One, meaning that “I have always been and will always be !”  For it is written in Revelation 1:8, I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. God first gave Moses a name he could "say" or "speak", and then He proceeded to give him another name.The second revealed name of God, for it is the four consonants YHWH. It has no vowels [A, E, I, O, U]. YHWH stated in Isaiah 43:11, "There is no Savior besides ME". In Zechariah 12:10, YHWH prophesied that "they will look upon Me whom they have pierced." In Zechariah 11:12,13, YHWH revealed that HE HIMSELF would be sold for 30 pieces of silver. YHWH further promised that one day He would be King over all the earth and that His name would be the only one. [Zechariah 14:9]. The Gospel message of salvation is clear Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.No one comes to the Father except through Him. Let us steadfastly profess what we know and believe concerning God.Heavenly Father, we are grateful,for all you have done. For there is none like you, not one! For we worship you alone,Blessed Savior, My God From the depths of my heart I adore thee. I'll give all praise and honor to you Lord. For it is written in Isaiah 9:6, For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Thank you Lord for your Living Word. Amen !

                                         
The question today is, "Who do you say that "I AM"?

How about your confession___ "Who do you say that "I AM"? This is Peter's confession... For it is written in Mark 8:27- 29, And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am? And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets. And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ. Peter answereth and saith unto him, thou art the Christ; the Messiah that was long ago promised and so often prophesied of in the books of Moses and the prophets spoke about.

The Living Word of God - Mercy and Grace !

Good morning Children of God
The Living Word of God - Mercy and Grace !

People of God understand, mercy and grace are not the same. The difference of mercy is God not punishing us as we deserve, and grace is God blessing us despite of the fact we do not deserve it. Mercy is deliverance from judgment, by God daily. New Mercy is commonly defined as forbearance or kindness from God.God never punishes mankind so much as they deserve to be punished. He has not dealt with us (believers) according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities. New Mercy is one of God’s traits, shown often toward mankind daily, as shown by this statement from Moses to the children of Israel. For it is written in Deuteronomy 4:30-31,When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. God's word never changes nor return void to Him. Read Isaiah 55:11,So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Grace is extending kindness to the unworthy people, when needed. Now Grace refers to the unearned favor of God that is extended to us to pardon our sins upon repentance and to enable us to have a healthy, happy relationship with the Creator. For it is written in Hebrews 4:15-16, For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.Read that again to get understanding,Hebrews 4:15-16,For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Jesus is calling you, "Come Unto Me Now." Understand, there is a day coming when he will not be found.There may come such a time in this life don't wait until tomorrow, it is certain that at death and judgment the door will be shut.Grace involves the unmerited pardon of our sins, and that pardon was made possible by Christ’s death. Jesus said to Paul, "My grace is sufficient to you!" Understand, the power of God, when we're weak, God is strong. The grace that saves is the free, undeserved goodness and favour of God; and he saves, not by the works of the law, but through faith in Christ Jesus. For it is written in Ephesians 2:3-7,Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. People of God, we're saved by grace by the Blood of the Lamb.When our life is beset with difficulties and storms, our strength fades away and we become weak sometimes.Yet in these times of personal weakness we can turn to Jesus Christ and rely upon His divine strength, and through that strength, face and endure those storms. And when we are relying upon Christ’s almighty strength instead upon our own inadequate strength, we can be strength by His Spirit to empower us during our trials. Heavenly Father, we thank thy for your new mercy and strength daily. We thank thy for your loving kindness daily. We thank you Lord, for your one and only son Jesus Christ. For you are the good shepherd, who laid down your (Jesus) life for us. For it is written in John 10:10-11,The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. Thank you Lord for your Living Word. Amen !

                                                  Scripture for Guidance & Leading
For it is written in 1 Corinthians 1:21-25, For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. Amen !

The weekend Living Word of God - The Storms in Life !

Good morning Children of God
The weekend Living Word of God - The Storms in Life !

People are talking about the storm is coming ! Don't you know? Haven't you heard? Who is the Creator ? Read Isaiah 40:28-29,Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Get understanding, For it is written in Hebrews 13:5-6, Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.God has spoken, the promises of God are meant to encourage you today.God has promised that His grace is sufficient for us, promised us victory over death, promised that all things work together for good to those who love and serve Him faithfully, has promised to supply every need for His children and eternal life! No matter how many promises God has made, they are always "Yes and Amen" in Christ Jesus. The Bible teaches us that there are three kinds of storms in life: storms that we bring on ourselves (like Samson), storms that God causes (like Lake Galilee), and storms that other people cause (as when Paul and Silas were thrown into prison). God has equipped you to handle the storms of life by trusting in Him. Do you not know the story about the disciples in a storm on the sea? Jesus knew that the storm was coming , but He wanted to teach and show the disciples, His power over storms. Peter walked upon the water, not for diversion or to boast of it, but to go to Jesus. For it is written Matthew14:22, And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. Now read Acts 27:22-25, And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship. For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me. An angel repeats that promise to Paul here in the midst of the storm. The Lord had told Paul that he would testify for Him in Rome, but He had not bothered to mention the little detail of this storm and shipwreck! This shows the perfect accuracy of your narrative and that we can trust in God’s Word. The Bible says, “By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. . . . For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.” For it is written in Psalm 33:6-9,By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.When things in our lives are out of our control, they are never out of God’s control. Trust in the promises of His Word of truth! Heavenly Father, we trust your word and power Lord. For there is nothing to hard for God. Hebrews 11:3-4,Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear..Thank you Lord for you Living Word. Amen !

The Living Word of God - Humble Yourself !

Children of God
The Living Word of God - Humble Yourself !
A loving and caring God is speaking to us,humble yourselves my beloved children first then seek Me (God) in prayer. For it is written in James 4:10,Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. God has spoken,we have to humble ourselves (believers) with our wholeheart and seek His face daily. Let us learn to study scriptures to show ourself approved unto God and get understanding first. For it is written in 2 Chronicles 7:13-15,If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. God is speaking to believers, you and me ! Understand we play a part in the life with live, by the principles and decisions that we choose daily. People of God, our thoughts are determined by how well we understand the principles of God's Word. For me, being a firm believer that the answer from God's word will lead me to the truth. For it is written in Jeremiah 29:13-14,And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Not a part, but with all your heart.If my people would seek me wholeheartedly they"ll find me. We have the promise of His Word knowing through the atoning blood of Jesus, who shall redeem his people from all their sins. Praise be to God for all He has done for us (believers). Heavenly Father, we come before thy at the throne of grace seeking your guidance in decision making daily. Let us cry out and pray Psalm 130:1-8, A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.  My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.Solid decision-making begins by discerning the will of God. God delights in revealing His will to those who are eager to follow His precepts. Thank you God for your Living Word. Amen !

People of God, I'm reading a book that will inspire your mind,heart and soul. The decisions we make actually reflect the desires of our heart. It's in Psalm 119:29-30,Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me. If you desire to change the course of your life read it. Author Andy Andrews-The Seven Decisions...keys that will unlock the doors. Speak over yourself my mind will not dwell in the past, I'm moving forward in 2016. I have the keys to the solution, God's word. I have a decided heart to please God. People of God don't be double minded. For it is written in James 1:8, A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

The Living Word of God - Abide in Him !

Good morning Children of God
The Living Word of God - Abide in Him !

I can hear the spirit of God speaking today, if you abide in me and my word abide in you everything will work out for your good all the days of your life. Amen ! God is speaking, If you do this, abide in Him you'll grow spiritually, but if you do not you will truly die and be cut off from Him. Do you not know, that Jesus Christ is the True Vine and we're the branches ?  Understand,  this is a warning people! The more fruit we bring forth, the more we abound in what is good, the more our Lord is glorified.  For it is written in John 15:1-7, I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Every believer remains inseparably to Christ Jesus in all areas of life. The word "abide" basically means "to remain" in Him! Jesus reiterated the importance of abiding as a sign of real faith and trust in Him. We walk by faith not by sight people of God. Even if you cannot see the full picture, know for yourself that God is working on your behalf. For it is written in John 8:31-32, Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Now, understand the true it will make you free from ignorance and error in your life. Heavenly Father we your people seek your face daily. For we cannot live and grow without you daily. We need to be about our father's business like Jesus Christ. Jesus said " Follow Me"!  Jesus was teaching as a little boy. Get understanding, When his (Jesus) parents saw him, they were astonished.For it is written in Luke 2:48-49,And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? Thank you Lord for your Living Word. Amen !

                                                                            Understanding God's Word 

Read Joshua 1:8, This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. For it is written  for us in James 4:14-15,Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
