“You should be excited when your neighbor gets blessed. Because if God blessed your neighbor that means that God is in the neighborhood”-Pastor Raphael G. Warnock, Ebenezer Baptist Church
God’s love is like music moving all around us. The Tree’s sway back and forth as the sun plays His melody so perfectly. This is the soundtrack of your life and with every blessing you should be dancing, swinging and swaying! God’s rhythm section is a heavenly host of angels that will be there to protect you every step of your way. God has armed me with harmony, so feel free to join me in singing the song of the heart!!
We have always been taught that the Holy Spirit dwells in the church. As a child I had always heard that you don’t say or do certain things because church was “holy grounds”. Don’t say this, or don’t do that at the church because God has a watchful eye on you when you are at the church. Even as a child I could not figure out how God’s eye was more watchful at church then it was at my house when God’s eye see’s me where ever I go. The song says “His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.” There is no lyric that says that He only watches me at church. It was later in my studies of the Bible that I learned that the church is indeed Holy ground, but I also learned that the church is in me. I learned that the Bible once us to fellowship with each other and pray with each other, but the church is a living thing. The church is the Holy Spirit in our hearts. I may meet you at building on Sunday, but when you see me, understand that I have been having church all week!
Dear Reader, I want you to know that there is no one place or one time that God can bless you . It can happen anywhere. I want to encourage you to go to church on Sunday, but don’t let Sunday be the only time that you have a talk with God. You can pray at night before you get in bed, but God would like to hear from you sometimes in the morning before you get out the bed. I don’t want you to pigeon hole your expectations. You don’t have to be in the sanctuary in order for God to speak a word in your ear. Sometimes you can be at work, or on your way to work when you get an answer to the question that you have asked God. It’s not where you are at, as much as it is ‘are you listening’. You don’t need to be in the church for a revival to happen, Dear Reader, it can happen anywhere. God is not bound by our man made schedules. He is able to revive our situation whether we are on 85, 285, or working our 9 to 5, when God moves He does not need for it to be Sunday. Dear Reader be encouraged today because your blessings are not for a limited time only. Forgiveness does not have to happen on Sunday morning, it can happen anytime. I want you to be excited today because God is working you through your situation. When you put your faith in a God that created space and time, don’t let people that are bound by the constraints of time tell you what you will or won’t accomplish. You tell them that God is moving and when God is on the move miracles have no restrictions. God’s hand is never out of bounds. When you walk with God, tell those people with negative tongues to watch out for you because you are libel to be blessed in the middle of their mess. It can happen anywhere!
You are beautiful, loved and blessed
John Reed
