SATAN IS THE AUTHOR OF SICKNESS AND DISEASE

WE WILL BE CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS VERY SOON. 2011 IS NEARLY OVER. SOME OF US MAY NOT MAKE IT TO SEE THE NEW YEAR COME IN. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT ITS APPOINTED UNTO MAN TO DIE , THEN THERES THE JUDGMENT.WHILE YOU HAVE BREATH IN YOUR BODY YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR WAY OF LIFE, CHANGE HOW YOU THINK, WHAT YOU BELIEVE, HOW YOU LIVE, AND HAVE A BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. THE CHOICE IS YOURS, ITS UP TO YOU TO CHOOSE. WE TEND TO BLAME GOD FOR EVERYTHING. GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF SICKNESS AND DISEASE , THAT COMES FROM SATAN.BEFORE ADAM'S SIN IN THE GARDEN. THERE WAS NO SIN OR DEATH IN THE EARTH. AFTER HIS DISOBEDIENCE, SIN AND DEATH WITH ALL OF THEIR EVIL COMPANIONS, HATRED, BITTERNESS,JEALOUSY, SICKNESS, DISEASE, TORMENT ENTERED INTO THE WORLD. LIKE ANYTHING ELSE DISOBEDIENCE IS A REALLY BIG SIN, GOD DON'T LIKE IT ANY BETTER THAN RAPE AND MURDER. ( ROM. 5;12 ) JESUS WAS SENT TO THE EARTH IN THE FORM OF A LITTLE BABY TO REDEEM US ,(BUY US BACK OFF THE MARKET PLACE OF SIN. THIS IS WHY WE CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS, NOT FOR WHAT WE CAN GET. JESUS WAS OUR GREATEST GIFT THAT THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN.' "FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE US HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON ; THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM (JESUS ) SHALL HAVE ETERNAL, AND EVERLASTING LIFE. (JOHN 3; 16 JESUS DIDN'T COME TO CONDEMN THE WORLD BUT TO SAVE IT . TO HEAL THOSE WHO WAS SICk, DELIVER, AND SET THE CAPTIVE FREE. TO LOOSEN US FROM THE BONDS OF SATAN, THAT IS IF YOU BELIEVE IN JESUS, HE CAN DO THE SAME THING FOR YOU. TODAY WANT YOU GIVE YOUR HEART AND LIFE TO CHRIST JESUS. HE CAN SAVE YOU , HEAL YOU DELIVER AND MAKE YOU FREE, BY HIS BLOOD AND STRIPES. SO IN CONCLUSION, GIVE GOD YOUR LIFE DON'T WORRY ABOUT GIFTS, THAT IS THE GREATEST GIFT YOU CAN GIVE TODAY, GIVING YOUR HEART TO CHRIST JESUS, AND IT DOESN'T COST A PENNY, ITS TOTALLY FREE.





I WANT TO THANK ALL MY SUPPORTERS, THOSE WHO SIGNED AND THOSE WHO DID NOT BE BLESSED AS WE GO INTO A NEW YEAR IN JESUS NAME ,AMEN

(3) WATCH WHAT YOU SAY, DON'T SPEAK NEGATIVE WORDS. LET YOUR WORDS LINE UP WITH THE WORD OF GOD, AFTER ALL GOD'S WORDS ARE THE FINAL AUTHORITY.

THE MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE'

THE MIND (BRAIN ) A TERRIBLE THING TO
WASTE
BEFORE I START MY NEW MESSAGE, I JUST WANT TO THANK ALL THOSE
VALUED SUPPORTERS OF "INSPIRATIONAL STRAIGHT TALK", WHO HAS BEEN WITH ME FOR A MINUTE, AS THE KIDS SAY. THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH, A YOUNG LADY THAT'S LOOKING GOOD, THANK YOU FOR THE BEAUTIFUL PICTURE.YOU JUST MADE ME VERY HAPPY. I WANT CALL YOUR NAME, JUST KNOW THAT GOD HAS SOMETHING IN STORE FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. I JUST GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL,LIKE EVERYONE ELSE I TO CAN USE SOME ENCOURAGEMENT, FROM MY SISTERS AND BROTHERS NO MATTER WHAT THEIR ETHNICITY.ROMANS 12th CHAPTER VER.1,2

1. "I BESEETH YOU THEREFORE BRETHREN,BY THE MERCIES OF GOD , THAT YE PRESENT YOUR BODIES A LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY AND

ACCEPTABLE UNTO GOD, WHICH IS A REASONABLE SERVICE.

2.AND BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD:BUT BE YE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, THAT YE MAY PROVE WHAT THAT GOOD , AND ACCEPTIABLE , AND PERFECT WILL OF GOD IS.

APOSTLE PAUL, IS BEGGING US TO PRESENT OUR BODIES AS LIVING SACRIFICES, GOD DONT WANT US ALL BEAT UP, ALL MESSED UP ON DRUGS, PILLS, ALL THIS CRAZINESS THATS GOING ON IN THE WORLD WITH OUR BODIES, SNIFFING, SNORTING ALL KIND OF DRUGS, COCHINE, HEROINE, INHEILING ALL KIND OF STUFF, BACK IN MY DAY IT WAS POT, AND GLUE. TODAY IT GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT. THE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE CUTTING THEIR BODIES , WHILE IN THE HOSPITAL THE LORD USED ME TO WITNESS TO SOME OF THESE PEOPLE. HOW CAN PEOPLE DO SOME OF THE 'OBTUSE THINGS THAT THEY ARE DOING WITH AND TO OUR BODIES. SOME OF THEM DIDNT KNOW THAT THEIR BODIES ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE LIVING GOD, AND HE WILL NOT LIVE IN AN UNCLEAN TEMPLE. STOP IM TALKING TO SOMEONE RIGHT NOW, STOP, THINK, TAKE A GOOD HARD LOOK AROUND. LOOK AT WHAT YOU ARE DOING WITH AND TO YOUR BODY. APOSTLE PAUL SAYS YOU HAVE TO RENEW YOUR MIND, THE BRAIN IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE. THE GREATEST COMPUTER THAT WAS EVER BUILT, GOD GAVE IT TO MAN AND WOMAN, SO PLEASE USE IT AS GOD HAS INTENTED US TO USE IT.

IF YOU ENJOY THESE MESSAGES PLEASE SHARE WITH SOMEONE ,LIKE MY DILIGENT SUPPORTERS . LOVE YOU ALL, KEEP THE FAITH. PLEASE GET INTO THE WORD OF GOD, THE BIBLE IS A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE

CHANGE,RENEWING YOUR MIND

STEPS TO CHANGE

• THE FIRST THING WE MUST DO TO CHANGE, IS RENEWING YOUR MIND,(ROMANS 12:1,2 ) 2. AND BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD;BUT BE YE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, THAT YE MAY PROVE WHAT IS THAT GOOD, AND ACCEPTABLE, AND PERFECT, WILL OF GOD.

BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENS IN OUR BODY OR OUR LIVES ,THE CHANGE HAS TO TAKE PLACE IN OUR MINDS.THE MIND IS AN INCUBATOR FOR OUR THOUGHTS AND DEEDS AND ACTIONS. WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE WAY WE ARE THINKING. CHANGE CAN ONLY COME ABOUT BY YOU MAKING UP YOUR MIND TO DO WHAT THE WORD OF GOD SAYS TO DO. WE DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER TO OUR PROBLEMS, BUT THE WORD OF GOD HAS EVERYTHING WE NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS LIFE. SO CHANGE HAS TO BE A DECISION THAT YOU MAKE. EVEN GOD CANT CHANGE YOU WITHOUT YOU WANTING TO CHANGE, GOD DOESN'T FORCE US TO DO ANYTHING AGAINST OUR WILL. DEUTERONOMY 28 TH RU. 30TH CHAPTERS GOD TELL US TO CHOOSE LIFE OR DEATH, BLESSINGS OR CURSES. HE CAN TELL US WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE, BUT THE CHOICE IS STILL OURS. WE ARE A FREE THINKING AGENT, NOBODY CAN MAKE ANYONE DO ANYTHING AGAINST THEIR WILL. GOD ALLOWS US TO THINK FOR OURSELVES AND MAKE CHOICES .

• YOU MUST TURN OVER YOUR WILL TO GOD TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY, (ISAIAH,1;19 ) IF YE BE WILLING AND OBEDIENT, YE SHALL EAT THE GOOD OF THE LAND:


• YOU MUST HAVE A STRONG DESIRE TO CHANGE, YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE UNLESS YOU HAVE A STRONG DESIRE TO DO SO.


• DEFEND YOUR KNOWLEDGE BASE. STUDY TO SHOW YOURSELF, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO EXCEL IN EDUCATE YOURSELF , STUDY, STUDY, READ, READ. GET BOOKS, TAPES, EVERYTHING YOU CAN ON THE THINGS YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH.IN LIFE


• LOOK INTO THE WORD, USE IT AS A MIRROR TO MAKE THE NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS TO CHANGE.


• APPLY GODS WORD TO YOUR LIFE, DAY AFTER DAY, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. THINK NEW THOUGHTS, YOU HAVE TO KEEP ON WORKING ON THE THING YOU WANT CHANGE IN , KEEP AT IT UNTIL YOU GET THE POSITIVE RESULTS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.


• GUARD THE ENTRANCE TO YOUR HEART. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU LISTEN TO , CAREFUL WHAT YOU SEE, AND CAREFUL WHAT COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH,(PROV. 4:23 )KEEP THY HEART WITH ALL DILIGENCE;FOR OUT OF IT FLOWS THE ISSUES OF LIFE.


• WATCH WHAT COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, NEVER EVER SPEAK NEGATIVE WORDS. ALWAYS SPEAK THE SAME WORDS THAT THE WORD OF GOD SAYS ABOUT YOUR SITUATION.

NEVER EVER LOOK AT THE PROBLEM, ONLY LOOK AT GOD WHO IS THE PROBLEM SOLVER, STAY FOCUS ON THE WORD OF GOD. THE ANSWER WILL SHOW UP IF YOU WAIT ON THE LORD AND BE OF GOOD COURAGE. DON'T CAST AWAY YOUR CONFIDENCE, FOR IT HAS A GREAT RECOMPENSE OF REWARD, IF WE ARE WILLING TO WAIT ON THE LORD. IN CONCLUSION, NEVER EVER GIVE UP , CAVE IN, OR QUIT. YOUR BLESSING IS WAITING AT THE DOOR. BE BLESSED, HOPE YOU ENJOY THESE MESSAGES, IF SO SHARE WITH SOMEONE, AND PASS ON.

BE BLESSED, MINISTER GLADYS L. MORRISON

' A GOOD WOMAN'


A GOOD WOMAN IS NOT JUST SUGAR AND SPICE AND ALL THAT'S NICE.
SHE IS SOMEONE YOU CAN TALK TO IN THE WEE HOURS OF THE NIGHT.
A GOOD WOMAN IS SOMEONE YOU CAN RELY ON.SHE IS NOT SELFISH,
OR SELF CENTERED,SHE IS ALWAYS WILLING TO GIVE. SHE MAKES
THINGS WITH HER HANDS. HER HUSBAND IS PROUD OF HER, AND
OFTEN SPEAKS OF HER WHEN HE TALKS TO OTHERS.A GOOD WOMAN
IS SOMETIMES A NURSE, WHOSE UP WITH YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
NIGHT. SHE IS ALSO A MOTHER WHO WIPE AWAY THOSE TEARS WE
SHED. A GOOD WOMAN IS A MAID,WHO TAKES CARE OF OUR HOME, SHE'S A COOK, TEACHER, BAKER, BARBER, THE GREATEST ACTRESS IN ALL THE WORLD. WITHOUT A GOOD WOMAN , WHERE WOULD A MAN BE ???

WERE YOU THERE?

THIS EVENT HAPPENED A LONG, LONG ,LONG TIME AGO, WERE YOU THERE? WERE YOU THERE IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE, WHEN OUR LORD TOLD HIS DISCIPLES TO WATCH WHILE HE WENT YONDER TO PRAY, WERE YOU THERE? WERE YOU THERE WHEN JESUS WAS TAKEN TO JUDGEMENT HALL AFTER JUDGEMENT HALLS, BUT PILATE COULD FIND NOTHING THAT HE HAD DONE WRONG,WERE YOU THERE? WERE YOU THERE WHEN THE CROWD SAID CRUCIFY HIM, CRUCIFY HIM AND HE NEVER SAID A WORD. WERE YOU THERE ? WERE YOU THERE WHEN THEY PUT A CROWN OF THORNS ON HIS HEAD? WHIPPED HIM TILL THE BLOOD AND FLESH FELL FROM HIS BODY. WERE YOU THERE, WHEN HE WENT TO THE CROSS , AND THEY NAILED BOTH HANDS AND FEET, PLACED OUR SAVIOR BETWEEN TWO THIEVES AND MURDERERS. WERE YOU THERE WHEN HE SAID FATHER FORGIVE THEM THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY ARE DOING, WERE YOU THERE WHEN THEY PIERCED HIM IN HIS SIDE AND OUT CAME BLOOD AND WATER. WERE YOU THERE WHEN HE HUNG HIS HEAD AND DIED. WE MAY NOT HAVE PUT THE NAILS IN HIS HANDS AND FEET, NOR THE THORN ON HIS BROW, NEITHER BETRAYED HIM WITH A KISS LIKE JUDAS DID, NOR DENIED HIM AND CURSED LIKE PETER DID, BUT I SAY TO YOU TODAY THAT WE ARE STILL CRUCIFYING JESUS, WITH OUR LIVES AND THE WAY WE ARE LIVING, AFTER THE PRICE JESUS PAID ON THE CROSS OF CAL VERY FOR MY SINS AND YOUR SINS. JESUS PAID A DEBT HE DIDN'T OWE AND AT A PRICE WE COULDN'T PAY. SO IN CONCLUSION FOLK, THINK ABOUT THE HIGH PRICE THAT JESUS PAID FOR YOU AND ME , AND MAKE A VOW TO GIVE GOD YOUR LIFE AND SOUL . AGAIN I ASK THE QUESTION, WERE YOU THERE WHEN THEY CRUCIFIED OUR LORD? THE ANSWER IS YES WE WERE ALL THERE WHEN THEY CRUCIFIED OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.John 3:16 says---FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON TO US SO WE WOULD HAVE ETERNAL AND EVERLASTING LIFE, IF WE BELIEVE IN JESUS. IF YOU ENJOY THIS MESSAGE TELL SOMEONE, BE BLESSED, MIN. SIS. GL. MORRISON

FORGIVENESS IS A CHOICE YOU MAKE"

FORGIVENESS IS A CHOICE WE MAKE



PRAISE THE LORD EVERYBODY, THIS IS NOW THE TIME FOR A NEW MESSAGE. THIS MONTH WE ARE TALKING ABOUT FORGIVENESS', BASELY TO FORGIVE IS TO LET SOMEONE WHO HAS WRONGED YOU "OFF THE HOOK", NOT HOLD THE OFFENCE AGAINST THEM, NOT ALLOW THE SEED OF BITTERNESS TO SET -IN. BEFORE YOU CAN FORGIVE SOMEONE WHO HAS WRONGED YOU, LETS LOOK AT IT FROM GOD'S POINT OF VIEW. PETER WANTED TO KNOW FROM JESUS, "LORD HOW MANY TIMES MUST I FORGIVE MY BROTHER, OR SISTER, SEVEN TIMES A DAY ? JESUS TOLD HIM NOT SEVEN TIMES, BUT SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN. THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN KEEP TRACK OF THAT MANY TIMES, SO IN OTHER WORDS WE MUST HAVE A FORGIVING NATURE LIKE OUR LORD JESUS. SOME OF YOU MAY SAY THAT THIS PERSON HAS HURT ME SO BADLY , 'I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THEM, SOME PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD RATHER DIE , BEFORE THEY FORGAVE SOMEONE. WELL JESUS SAID THAT UNTIL WE FORGIVE, GOD IS NOT GOING TO FORGIVE US. GOD DOES NOT HEAR OUR PRAYERS IF WE CANT FORGIVE OTHERS, ON TOP OF THIS WE EVEN HAVE TO LOVE THOSE SAME PEOPLE. IMAGINE THAT. THE PEOPLE WE CANT FORGIVE, THOSE SAME PEOPLE WE HAVE TO LOVE THEM, AND DO GOOD THINGS FOR , AND EVEN PRAY FOR GOD TO BLESS THEM, IMAGINE THAT NOW I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU SOME SCRIPTURES TO SINK YOUR TEETH INTO

• FORGIVENESS IS NOT A FEELING, ITS A CHOICE---------AN ACT OF YOUR WILL.YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FEEL FORGIVENESS TO FORGIVE, ITS A CONSCIOUS CHOICE WE EACH HAS TO MAKE, FORGIVING SOMEONE DOES NT MEAN THAT YOUR FEELINGS WILL AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE, ITS A PROCESS, BUT MAKING UP YOUR MIND IS THE FIRST STEP.
• FORGIVENESS DOES NOT DENY OR MINIMIZE THE HURT YOU FEEL, OR HARM THIS PERSON CAUSED YOU. FORGIVENESS INVOLVES FACING YOUR FEELINGS AND DEALING WITH THEM HONESTLY WHILE AT THE SAME TIME CHOOSING TO BASE YOUR LIFE NOT ON YOUR CHANGING FEELINGS, BUT ON THE UNCHANGING TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD.
• FORGIVENESS DOES NOT MEAN FORGETTING, YOU DON'T GET AMNESIA', WHEN GOD FORGIVES US HE DOES IT THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS.COL.1:14, 1ST. PETER 1:18-19, HEB. 10:17 GOD CHOOSES NEVER TO HOLD IT AGAINST US.
• FORGIVENESS IS UNDESERVED.WE THINK THE OFFENDER DON'T DESERVE TO BE FORGIVEN, JUST AS GOD FORGIVES US , WE DON'T DESERVE IT EITHER. EPH. 4 :31-32 GOD TELLS US TO BE COMPASSIONATE AND KIND ONE TO ANOTHER, AND FORGIVE EVEN AS CHRIST HAS FORGIVEN YOU AND ME.
• FORGIVENESS DOES NOT NEGATE ACCOUNTABILITY. FORGIVENESS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT FREES YOU FROM BONDAGE OF BITTERNESS, HURT AND ANGER, HOWEVER THE OFFENDER IS STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT THEY DID TO YOU AND HE WILL HAVE TO GIVE AN ACCOUNT TO GOD. THE WORD SAYS, WE REAP WHAT WE SOW, AND VENGEANCE IS MINE SAYS THE LORD, AND I WILL REPAY", SAYS THE LORD
• FORGIVENESS IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT GOD'S FORGIVENESS FLOWING THROUGH YOU, AS GOD FOR GIVES ME , WITH HIS HELP I TOO CAN FORGIVE OTHERS, WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE,MATT.19:26

FORGIVENESS IS A COMMANDMENT FROM GOD, GOD COMMANDS THAT WE FORGIVE. COL.3:13, SAYS:'BEAR WITH EACH OTHER AND FORGIVE WHATEVER GRIEVANCES YOU HAVE AGAINST ONE ANOTHER, FORGIVE AS THE LORD FORGAVE YOU'. IF YOU WILL ALLOW , GOD WILL WORK IN YOUR HEART AND GIVE YOU THAT DESIRE TO FORGIVE, PHIL.2 :13 THEN GOD GIVES YOU THE STRENGTH TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH FORGIVENESS, HOWEVER THE CHOICE IS YOURS AND MINE TO FORGIVE. DO IT RIGHT AWAY, DON'T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON YOUR WRATH,TODAY IS A NEW DAY WITH GOD.

DEDICATED TO BLACK HISTORY

PRAISE THE LORD EVERYBODY.FEBRUARY IS BLACK HISTORY MONTH FOR ALL OF US WHETHER YOU ARE BLACK OR NOT. WE AS A COUNTRY NEED TO KNOW ,WHAT HAS MADE AMERICA GREAT? I CAN TELL YOU THAT RIGHT AWAY, ITS THE DIVERSITIES OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAS MADE THIS VAST MELTING POT GREAT. NOT ONE RACE OF PEOPLE ,BUT EVERYBODY, THE BLACKS, WHITES, BROWNS, REDS, AND YELLOWS, AND ALL THOSE IN BETWEEN COLORS IS WHAT MAKES OUR COUNTRY GREAT, BUT WE NEED TO STOP HAVING POWER STRUGGLES, WE NEED TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN ; THAT THERE ARE NO SUPERIOR OR INFERIOR "RACES', WE ARE ALL CREATED EQUALLY", WE ARE MADE IN THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD, SO WE LOOK LIKE HIM, NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, WHAT COLOR YOU MAYBE. WE ALL LOOK LIKE GOD, IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT , LOOK IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS, SO MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS NO MATTER WHERE YOU COME FROM, WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE, WE ALL LOOK LIKE "JEHOVAH GOD ", THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE, THE FATHER OF ALL MANKIND, MY GOD, YOUR GOD, IN COLLUSION LET US LOVE ONE ANOTHER, NOT JUST THOSE FOLK WHO YOU CAN IDENTIFY WITH BUT THOSE WHO LOOK AND ACT DIFFERENTIALLY THAN YOU. WE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS, CAME FROM THE SAME MOTHER AND FATHER. ADAM AND EVE.
IN CONCLUSION, I WANT TO INCLUDE THIS LITTLE POEM, THAT'S ALSO A DIALOGUE WITH GOD. HOPE YOU ENJOY, BE BLESSED, LOVE ALL OF YOU.

LORD, LORD, WHY DID YOU MAKE ME BLACK?

WHY DID YOU WANT SOMEONE THE WORLD WOULD TRY TO HOLD BACK?

• BLACK IS THE COLOR OF DIRTY CLOTHES, THE COLOR OF GRIMY HANDS AND FEET ...
• BLACK IS THE COLOR OF DARKNESS, THE COLOR OF TIRE-BEATEN STREETS.
• WHY DID YOU GIVE ME THICK LIPS, A BROAD NOSE AND KINKY HAIR ???
• WHY DID YOU MAKE SOMEONE WHO RECEIVES THE HATRED STARE ?
• BLACK IS THE COLOR OF THE BRUISED EYE WHEN SOMEONE GETS HURT. BLACK IS THE COLOR OF DARKNESS, THE COLOR OF DIRT.
• HOW COME MY BONE STRUCTURE'S SO THICK, MY HIPS AND CHEEKS ARE HIGH ???
• HOW COME MY EYES ARE BROWN AND NOT THE COLOR OF THE DAYLIGHT SKY ?
• WHY DO PEOPLE THINK I'M USELESS? HOW COME I FEEL SO USED?
• WHY DO PEOPLE SEE MY SKIN AND THINK I SHOULD BE ABUSED ?
• LORD I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND. WHAT IS IT ABOUT MY SKIN?
• WHY IS IT SOME PEOPLE WANT TO HATE ME AND NOT KNOW THE PERSON WITHIN ??
• BLACK IS WHAT PEOPLE ARE "LISTED" WHEN OTHERS WANT TO KEEP THEM AWAY.
• BLACK IS THE COLOR OF SHADOWS CAST. BLACK IS THE END OF THE DAY.
• LORD YOU KNOW MY OWN PEOPLE MISTREAT ME AND I KNOW THIS JUST AI NT RIGHT.
• THEY DON'T LIKE MY HAIR, THEY SAY I'M TOO DARK OR LIGHT.
• LORD DON'T YOU THINK ITS TIME TO MAKE A CHANGE? WHY DON'T YOU RE-DO ME AND CREATION AND MAKE EVERYONE THE SAME ???
• GOD'S REPLY
• WHY DID I MAKE YOU BLACK ? WHY DID I MAKE YOU BLACK ?
• GET OFF YOUR KNEES AND LOOK AROUND. TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE?
• I DIDN'T MAKE YOU IN THE IMAGE OF DARKNESS, I MADE YOU IN THE LIKENESS OF ME. I MADE YOU IN THE COLOR OF COAL FROM WHICH BEAUTIFUL DIAMONDS ARE FORMED. I MADE YOU IN THE COLOR OF OIL, THE BLACK GOLD THAT KEEP PEOPLE WARM. I MADE YOU FROM THE RICH , DARK EARTH THAT CAN GROW THE FOOD YOU NEED.YOUR COLOR IS THE SAME AS THE BLACK STALLION, A MAJESTIC ANIMAL IS HE. I DIDN'T MAKE YOU IN THE IMAGE OF DARKNESS. I MADE YOU IN THE IMAGE OF ME. ALL THE COLORS OF THE HEAVENLY RAINBOW CAN BE FOUND THROUGH OUT EVERY NATION. WHEN ALL THESE COLORS WERE BLENDED, YOU BECAME MY GREATEST CREATION. YOUR HAIR IS LIKE LAMB'S WOOL, SUCH A HUMBLE CREATURE IS HE. I'M THE SHEPHERD WHO WATCHES THEM. I'M THE ONE WHO WILL WATCH OVER YOU. YOU ARE THE COLOR OF THE MIDNIGHT SKY, I PUT STAR'S GLITTER IN YOUR EYES. THERE IS A SMILE HIDDEN BEHIND YOUR PAIN, THAT WHY CHEEKS ARE SO HIGH. YOU ARE THE COLOR OF DARK CLOUDS FORMED WHEN I SEND MY STRONGEST WEATHER. I MADE YOUR LIPS FULL SO WHEN YOU KISS THE ONE YOU LOVE, THEY WILL REMEMBER.YOUR STATUE IS STRONG, YOUR BONE STRUCTURE THICK TO WITHSTAND THE BURDEN OF TIME...THE REFLECTION YOU SEE IN THE MIRROR, THE IMAGE THAT LOOKS BACK IS ....M-I-N-E

BE BLESSED, MINISTER GL. MORRISON

THIS IS A NEW YEAR, AND A NEW YOU

PRAISE THE LORD EVERYBODY, THIS IS A NEW YEAR, IF YOU ARE READING THIS BLOG, YOU HAVE A LOT TO BE THANKFUL FOR. A LOT OF FOLK DIDN'T MAKE IT TO SEE THIS YEAR COME IN, THEN THERE ARE SOME WHO ONLY SAW THE YEAR BEGAN, MY SISTER KATE WAS SUCH A PERSON, SHE WENT HOME TO BE WITH JESUS ON JANUARY 11,2011. I'M HAPPY TO REPORT TO YOU THAT ALL WAS WELL WITH HER SOUL. SHE KNEW JESUS AS HER LORD AND SAVIOR, AND EACH DAY SHE WORSHIPPED AND SERVED HIM, BY REACHING OUT TO OTHERS. MY SISTER WAS A VERY , VERY STRONG WOMAN, SHE WAS STRONG IN HER 'FAITH,HER BELIEF, AND STRONG IN HER SUFFERING, IN HER LIVING AND IN HER GIVING. SHE NEVER COMPLAINED, WHATEVER CAME HER WAY SHE WAS ALWAYS WILLING TO 'STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND TRY IT'. SHE LIVED OUTSIDE HER 'COMFORT ZONE EVERY DAY OF HER LIFE. NEVER BACKED DOWN A CHALLENGE. ALWAYS READY TO GIVE. LET THOSE OF YOU WHO FOLLOW THIS MINISTRY, (INCLUDING MYSELF ATTEMPT TO DO THE SAME ) THIS IS A NEW DAY , AND A NEW YEAR WE ARE GOING TO DO GREAT EXPLOITS, ACCEPT NEW CHALLENGERS, HELP OTHER PEOPLE, NOT COMPLAIN, OR BE SELFISH, THINK OF OTHERS MORE HIGHLY THAN OURSELVES, LEAVE OUR 'COMFORT ZONE' PUSH OURSELVES TO THE LIMIT FOR JESUS, ENCOURAGE MORE PEOPLE, GO OUT AND BE A WITNESS FOR CHRIST OUR SAVIOR, REDEEMER, LORD AND MASTER. SO IN CONCLUSION LET US MAKE THIS NEW YEAR ABOUT " CHANGE" WE ARE GOING TO WORK ON OUR RELATIONSHIPS, THE RELATIONSHIP TO GOD COMES FIRST, MAKE A SPECIAL EFFORT TO ATTEND SOMEBODY'S CHURCH ON A REGULAR BASIS,THEN WE ARE GOING TO WORK ON THE RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE WITH OUR FAMILIES, (STAY IN CONTACT WITH FAMILY, AT THE END OF THE DAY , THEY ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO REALLY MATTER, FORGIVE THOSE PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE YOU WRONG, LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO STILL WALK AROUND WITH UNFORGIVENESS IN OUR HEARTS. ASK THOSE PEOPLE THAT YOU OWE AN APOLOGY TO , TO FORGIVE YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO THEM, DONT BE TOO PROUD TO ASK TO BE FORGIVEN, YOU ARE NOT WEAK, OR A 'WIMP', MOST PEOPLE THINK IF I LET MY GUARD DOWN THAT PEOPLE WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF US, AND THINK WE ARE WEAK. BUT ITS JUST THT OPPOSITE, YOU ARE A STRONG PERSON WHO CAN ADMIT THERE FAULTS TO ANOTHER PERSON. REMEMBER THAT OUR LORD JESUS WAS SUCH A MAN, AND HE WAS NO 'WIMP'. AMEN
THIS YEAR IF IT BE GOD'S WILL ,WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME REALLY CHALLENGING MESSAGES, SO KEEP UP THE SUPPORT, AND PASS THE WORD ON, AND DONT FORGET TO SIGN UP AS A FRIEND, OR LEAVE A RESPONSE TO A MESSAGE. THATS THE ONLY WAY I WILL EVER KNOW THAT YOU ARE READING OUR MESSAGES.
