Lord, I need you now

"I Need You Now" [Verse 1:] Not a second or another minute Not an hour of another day But at this moment with my arms outstretched I need you to make a way as you've done so many times before. Through a window or an open door, I stretch my hands to the come rescue me I need you right away. [Chorus:] I need you now [Verse 2:] If I never needed you before To show up and restore all of the faith that I let slip. While I was searching the world for more, the truest friend I have in thee Your my best friend I know I need, I stretch my hands to the come rescue me I need you rite away. [Bridge:] The agony of being alone The fear of doing thing on my own The test and trials that come to make me strong. The feelings of guilt, hurt, shame, and defeat The waves and trials that beat up on me but to know Lord that in you I've got victory. [Chorus x4] ..... Sometimes we pray for materialist things like jobs, cars, money etc. Lately, I’ve been praying for closeness with God, for me to feel his presence like never before. This song by Smokie Norful reminds me of my desperation for Christ to be the center of my life. This desperation is needed now for my life as well as others. If we could just cry out to Jesus and ask him to restore us and renew our minds I believe he will do it. I want to have an experience like no other, an experience like when he filled me with the Holy Ghost. Sometimes we have to go back to the alter and ask for a refilling because our daily lives can take a toll on our walk. I’m asking God to refill me. I’m asking God to renew and restore my mind. I’m asking him to remove all distractions from my life in order to refocus my attention back on him. This can wait in the words of Smokie Norful, “Lord, I need you now”…

Denouncing my membership from Alpha Kappa Alpha

Image
January 15 use to be an exciting day for me, but in April 2011 something changed me... I was praying to God asking him to reveal the things to me that I needed to change or let go in my life so that I could be closer to him... I had a dream one night in April that I was holding my AKA key chain and it fell out of my hand, as it hit the floor it broke in half, the pink broke away from the green and the AKA ... broke off... It took me two weeks to be obedient because I was scared of what people would think, but I finally began my process off denouncing my membership... I told the AKAs about my decision and some supported me but to my surprise some had already did the same thing... This was a big decision but it wasn't the only thing that I had to let go to be fully committed to Jesus and to be in his will...I had to let it go so that I could be closer to God... Many people think that these Sororities and Fraternities are harmless but I noticed the more I read my bible the more i...

Stop Playing the Victim

Often times in situations such as disagreement/arguments or when things didn’t go my way in the pass I would play the victim. I would automatically get in my feelings, get an attitude and choose to respond to the situation as if everyone was out to get me. Often times I would rehearse in my head how I would respond to that person the next time we would speak. Or I would dwell on whatever didn’t go my way and go around with my lips poked out and had an attitude with everyone. Lately, God has brought this to my attention. Basically he told me,”STOP PLAYING THE VICTIM!!!” It so easy to throw myself Pity Party and of course I was VIP. I never looked at the situation from the other person’s point of view and most importantly I never looked at the situation from God’s point of view. When I started looking at the situation from the other person point of view I notice that I looked at the person and their background. I also ask myself, “Is there something I’m doing or how I’m responding that ...

Press On

This morning, before doing my hour of prayer, the enemy started putting thoughts in my head to go back to sleep and do my hour of prayer later. I have to admit I was tired and wanted to go back to sleep but I knew if I pushed it off I wouldn’t do it. So, I pressed my way out of bed and began to pray. The enemy came back while I was praying and put every thought in my head to distract me from my talk with God. However I pressed on and kept praying. I noticed when I started praying that tired spirit left me. If we could just continue to press on when things get rough or even when we don’t feel like it we will reap the rewards of being loyal and faithful to God. The enemy will try to trick you and tell you that it’s no use and that you are wasting your time. Just remember God blesses those who remain loyal to him.
