Good afternoon and Thankful Thursday. As most of you know I happen to work for two different companies. One of the companies I work for I am relieved by a person who arrives just in time. This goes against the nature of the things that I am about as I am always at least 30 minutes early. As much as I get along with LaWanda, I wish that she would come a tad bit early. As a member of the Body of Christ I often times grow impatient on the power of Jesus to happen, but like always he is Just In the Nick of Time.
I understand in our walk with Christ we continue to be covered by the Blood. We know he will never leaves us or forsake us. We know that he makes a way out of no way. But there are so many times
that I want the blessings to happen, now, I want the healing to happen like yesterday and I want to prosper quickly but at times that is not in the plans And maybe not all the time but it seems that things happen Just In the Nick of Time.
In going to the Word of God for this teaching of Just In the Nick of Time I begin in Mark 7:31-35. In these verses there is man who had been deaf and mute for many years and when Jesus spoke he
immediately began to speak and hear. My cousin John went to the hospital for one reason and when he went he was found with a condition that should have killed him. He is now home and doing well. Just In the Nick of Time.
As I continue this teaching of Just In the Nick of Time I go to Luke 7:11-15. In these verses we see where that while in a city called Nain Jesus meets a widow and who has lost her son and raises him
him from the dead. My cousin Kevin Mac car was turned upside down in this horrible looking accident but came away with only a few scratches. Just In the Nick of Time.
As we come to the end of the Biblical portion of this teaching of Just In the Nick of Time I go John 5:1-8. In these verses we see where there is an annual pool that heals the first one who gets to the
pool. There is a man who has had a condition that did not allow him to enter the water but once Jesus came into the picture there was immediate healing. My Dad was scheduled to have a surgical procedure done surgery was cancelled after what the doctors saw. Just In the Nick of Time.
In conclusion my cousin John Wesley and Kevin Mac are ministers and my father is a Deacon. They are all men who have a relationship with Jesus and expect Jesus to be there Just In the Nick of Time. For those of you who may just beginning a relationship with Christ or want to get to know him, he will be there when you need him. In the extreme of things that might seem impossible he will make a way (Matthew 19:26). So that foreclosure that is consuming you that war torn country that makes living near to impossible or that relationship that seems to be on the breaking point, keep the faith, Jesus will be there and Just In the Nick of Time.

Good evening and Thankful Tuesday. As the summer is winding down there is the advent of school that is approaching. For some it will be their first day of school and they will be a little apprehensive. For others they have been in school for years and are now getting tired. And for others the end of their going to school is coming to a end so they are afraid of what the future holds. No matter what grade each student they all must master the 3 R's and that is reading, writing and arithmetic. As they continue forward as well I ask that God provide them with 3 R's as well. Remove, Revive and Restore.
As the school year begins there are some students whose parents do no even have a place to stay due to obstacles their parents face. There are some students who are falling by the wayside looking at the
fast life of drugs, money and women. And them there are others who are finishing up school but have no plans beyond that. We come to you Father God and ask you to Remove, Revive and Restore., The 3 R's.
As we come to the Word of God for this teaching of The 3 R's I begin in Isaiah 57:14. In this verse we see where God has told those who love him that we are the Body of Christ need to prepare the
way and help remove the obstacles that are in the way of those who may need help. We have to more to identify the stumbling blocks that are affecting our youth and Remove them. The 3 R's.
As we continue with this teaching of the 3 R's I go back to the Word of God and Isaiah 57:15. In this verse it tells of how God wants to revive the spirit of the humble and the heart of the contrite. There
are some youth who need the Body of Christ to help them see that the fast life only last so long and getting that education is the most important thing. We need to Revive the. The 3 R's.
In coming to the end of the Biblical portion of this teaching of The 3 R's I go t Isaiah 57:18-19. In these verses God lets us know that he will heal those who may be lost and restore comforts and
peace to those near and far. There are some seniors who are lost and have no clue on where they are going. They need the Body of Christ to encourage them to help them feel better about the future. They need to be Restored. The 3 R's.
In conclusion there is a great importance of having our youth no matter what race, creed or color having the ability to read, to write and to be able to to arithmetic. This is what the educational system is for. But the Body of Christ has to do a lot more. Some people can not even afford school supplies but even after that there is things like hunger and homelessness that need to be address. Remove. Some students have not even seen the downtown area or want to continue forward when the streets are calling them. Revive. And once they are educated there is no one to help them moving forward and they are prone to become a statistic rather than a leader. Restore. The 3 R's are things that we have to give to our youth.

Good morning and Fabulous Friday all. I remember when I was a teen and there were gangs all over Chicago. I wanted to be cool and be part of the gang life but I never formally joined but affiliated myself with a people who were in gangs. So one day as I was hanging around a known gang member, I happen to be in holding my hands in a position that showed I was part of his gang. Little did I know that a high school football game was letting out and there were at least 100 hundred members of the opposite gang who saw me and felt disrespected by how was representing their enemy. I was not even a gang but the rival gang did not know and sought to get me. I was Coming Into Dire Straits.
As I begin this teaching I want to define the words, dire and strait. I will go to my source of definitions and that is dictionary.com. The word dire means as follows; causing great fear, indicating
trouble; and urgent. The word straits means a position of difficulty, distress or need. So my false flagging (meaning I was representing something I was not) had they other members coming together as one to beat me bad. Each step they made towards me I was Coming Into Dire Straits.
As we come into the Word of God for this teaching of Coming Into Dire Straits I begin in 2nd Chronicles 20:1-2. In these verses King Jehoshaphat of Judah had received intelligence that his
enemies had teamed together to make war with him. They were causing a great fear to the people as it knew it would have difficulty defeating these vast numbers. As the gang members came really close I ran inside the business as they were descending upon me. I was Coming Into Dire Straits.
As we continue with this teaching of Coming Into Dire Straits I go back to the Word of God and 2nd Chronicles 2:3-4. In these verses it tells of how King Jehoshaphat was afraid at first but then declared
a fast and gathered the people of Judah all together. The gang members surrounded the door of the business and even though the door was locked there was no back door and the indicating trouble was distressing me. I was Coming Into Dire Straits.
As we come into the end of the Biblical portion of this teaching of Coming Into Dire Straits I go to 2nd Chronicles 20:5-7. In these verses King Jehoshaphat goes into prayer and comes to God about
how he recognizes that God is all powerful and has driven off enemies in the past. I prayed to God as I was in a urgent need of his power and needed him to drive away the gang members outside the door. I was Coming Into Dire Straits.
As we conclude this teaching of Coming Into Dire Straits God heard my prayers was able to give the words to the man who was with me, a member of the rival gang, to convince the gang members to disperse. I could have been severely beaten or even dead as I placed myself in Dire Straits. Today there are many young men and women who are placing themselves in Dire Straits as they are trying to be something that they are not meant to be, drug addicted, young parents, gang members, committing crimes and all other things that are not of God. We as the people of God need to get them out of these Dire Straits (Part 1) and have them be able to have the Foreseeability to Obtain Victories (Part 2). I want to give all the glory and honor for this teaching and allowing Holy Spirit to guide me with this teaching. Have a great weekend and please attend Sunday School at your place of worship or please come to Rhema Word 2.0 at Valley Kingdom Ministries International. The teaching of Foreseeability to Obtain Victories (Part 2) will be on the blog that I write called Brand New Week, Brand New Attitude. God bless all.

Good morning and Happy Friday. As we begin this day there are some of us who have may be a little down on ourselves. No matter how we think that we are going to get ahead we never do. Case in point whenever it seems as we are going to have some extra money something comes up and we have to use it. Then there are times when we think that we deserve a promotion and/or a pay raise and do not get it. And there are some physical features that we would like to see fixed. These things sometimes bothers us to make us have low self esteem. But we have to remember that being connected to God, that We Are Above and Never Beneath.
See no matter how the son of perdition tries to get in our finances, our jobs, our relationships/marriages. homes, minds and spirit he has no dominion or power over us. In Isaiah 60:
19-22 it tells of how God is our glory. In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus gave us authority. And 1st Peter 2:9-10 it tells us we are a royal generation. These are examples of what we are Above and Never Beneath.
As we come into the Word of God for this teaching of Above and Never Beneath I begin in Deuteronomy 28:10-11. In these verses it speaks of how people will be afraid of you and of increase
in the lands that God has given us. So there is no need to be fearful of anything as we are part of the Body of Christ and the enemy is actually afraid of us and hates that we have plenty. Above and Never Beneath.
As we continue this teaching Above Never Beneath. I go to the Word of God and Deuteronomy 28:12. In this verse it tells of how God will open up his GOOD treasures, give is rain in the and bless
all the work that we do. As we are connected to the Body of Christ we have so much power that we do not even have to borrow but we are the lender. Above and Never Beneath.
As we come to the end of the Biblical portion of this teaching of Above and Never Beneath I go to Deuteronomy 28:13. In this verse it tells of if we heed the Word of God, we are head and not the tail
and Above and Never Beneath. As we are part of the Body of Christ we are royal people in knowing that we should always act accordingly. Above and Never Beneath.
In closing we should bask in the knowledge that God has given us his glory and light. We should know that we have been given authority to teach on the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. And we should know that we are a holy and royal generation of people. So there is no need to be down on ourselves, worry about what is going to happen or be about low self-esteem. We are Above and Never Beneath. I give God all the glory and honor for this teaching and would like to extend an invitation to all those to attend Sunday School someplace to get the teachings needed. I would like to invite you to Valley Kingdom Ministries International Rhema Word 2.0 (Sunday School) program that starts at 8am and is also after services at our two locations in South Holland and Oak Forest Illinois. Have a great weekend.
