The Chosen Season 3 Episode 8 - The Finale

I just got done watching The Chosen Season 3 finale. I know, I could have been watching the State of the Union, but all I wanted was to be refreshed with Godly programming instead.

Today's episode featured a mention of Psalm 77. It actually speaks to what we discussed in Praise & Pray (for others) today. We need to turn to the testimony of God's greatness in the Bible, in our lives and the lives of others.


Psalm 77:

1 I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me. 2 When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands, and I would not be comforted.

3 I remembered you, God, and I groaned; I meditated, and my spirit grew faint. 4 You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak. 5 I thought about the former days, the years of long ago; 6 I remembered my songs in the night. My heart meditated and my spirit asked:

7 “Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again? 8 Has his unfailing love vanished forever? Has his promise failed for all time? 9 Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?”

10 Then I thought, “To this I will appeal: the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand. 11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. 12 I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”

13 Your ways, God, are holy. What god is as great as our God? 14 You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples. 15 With your mighty arm you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.

16 The waters saw you, God, the waters saw you and writhed; the very depths were convulsed. 17 The clouds poured down water, the heavens resounded with thunder; your arrows flashed back and forth. 18 Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind, your lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked. 19 Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen.

20 You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.


We each go through trials and tribulations and often times, they seem insurmountable. However, when we remember what God has done, it is hard to ignore that our God is great an with Him, all things are possible.


I pray that whatever you are going through, you will remember that God is faithful and will come through for you. Hold onto Him - sure, you'll make some mistakes in the process - but, He has promised to reward those who earnestly seek Him (Hebrews 11:6). So, please, seek Him. Earnestly.


God bless you!

Kingdom Keys - a book about God's teachings in my life

A few years ago, the Lord instructed me to share some of my experiences and testimonies with Him.


The result was that I wrote and published a little book called Kingdom Keys.


It contains a variety of Biblical principles that the Good Lord taught me during a particularly tough season in my life. When applied, each Key combined to strengthen me and help me on my journey with God.


I regularly mention Kingdom Keys in Praise & Pray (for others) posts and discussions. However, I'd like to offer you a copy of the Kingdom Keys e-book for free today if you'd like it.


The book takes you through a variety of practical steps you too can take to grow in faith and to dispel the spirit of fear which seeks to overwhelm and stifle the children of God. I know that by His grace, they helped me and I believe they will help you too.

God bless you!

Learn the season's lesson - Tuesday Praise & Pray (for others) February 7, 2023

I remember when I started to walk in earnest with the Lord. Some days were great, but then there were others that were beyond trying. On those days, a random person would be rude for absolutely no reason or, a loved one would say the wrong thing. And before I knew it, all that I'd learned would fly out the window and I'd be right back to my Before Christ days. By the time I got on my knees to pray at the end of the day, I'd be filled with so much remorse.


The Lord had to teach me to accept that such things would happen. That as soon as I learned some new way to change and grow for Him, the devil would fling obstacles to keep me from being better.


Nevertheless, I had to understand that my mistakes were the lessons that prepared me for the next spiritual level. Although I didn't enjoy the failures, God showed me that they strengthened me so I could oppose the enemy the next time it attacked. With time, I discovered that through each failure, God wanted me to learn to identify how satan thought it could attack me. Slowly and with the Lord holding my hand, I got better at recognizing snares and hearing God's caution to stay far away from them. Sometimes, I'd want to be stubborn, thinking that I have enough of my Father's grace to go wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted. However, the Lord taught me a simple truth from His word - Proverbs 22:3 - Sensible people will see trouble coming and avoid it, but an unthinking person will walk right into it and regret it later (GNT).


This taught me that I should only go where the Lord sends and that not every place or issue requires my attention or presence. I also learned that every soldier in God's army needs their training before they can step into battle. The failures will often qualify as training. So, skipping those lessons is never wise.


Are you looking at your life and hoping to step out of the 'stage' you are in? Are you getting tired of the failures and feel ready to move to the next phase in your walk with God? This is very normal and yet I implore you - please don't seek to skip the lesson God has for you right here in your journey with Him. The Israelites needed 40 years to discover how to properly relate with the Lord because despite how much of His love and might He displayed, they still doubted Him.


It is better to ask God to help you learn the lesson of this season so you step into the next well-armed. This is the key.


Lord, help us to learn the lesson You have for us in this season that we may apply it for Your glory and by Your grace, IJMN, Amen.


See you at Noon EST for fellowship where we'll worship, intercede and call on God for the lessons we need to learn.
