Don't live off yesterday's spiritual victories....
A King is born, I will follow that Star!
Would you like some PEACE?
The more you worship, the more you will have peace. The more peace you gain, the more you will want to worship! Worship on the mountain top, worship in the valleys, peace will meet you where your at!
And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. -Philippians 4:7
ARE YOU WRESTLING WITH GOD?
Jacob was relentless during this struggle and his perseverance changed him profoundly, forever, in several ways: he was wounded and walked with a limp for the rest of his life, a sign of human weakness and dependance on the Lord; he was given a new name (“Israel”) and with it a new identity, as a prince with God, and one whose struggle with the Almighty saved his life, his family, and...
As Christians, our goal is to grow in Christ. Our...
Today, resolve that you will handle every situation that you face with the maturity and strength that reflects your faith in God!
mrjoshuadavid asked: dan... i just want to thank you for telling it like it is even when people don't want to hear it... because that's when they need it the most!! God bless you brother, have a Merry CHRISTmas!
faith201 asked: Hello! I really love your blog. :) It really inspired me in my relationship with Christ. Keep the faith! God speed>>> :)
jessigalindo92 asked: your testimony gave me crazy chills<3 :) i dont know you, but it makes me so happy to hear that God has saved you and He is showing you how unconditional His love it<3 :)
faithpedia asked: Hey brother :) I was wondering if you know what your ministry is going to be, and if you don't, what would you like it to be? Btw, I read your testimony and it was very inspiring! I know that it'll impact many lives as I'm sure it already has. It's like Joyce Meyer said, "God can turn your mess into your message." God Bless You :) One more thing, You write really...
carlisax33 asked: How do you feel about "gender roles", like a womans place is in the kitchen etc
under-his-grace asked: I just wanted to say thank you. I just finished reading your testimony and it made me cry, the good kind. It made me feel that same feeling I had when God first touched my own broken, messed-up heart. Thank you for sharing, it truly did give me hope. Stay strong and stay beautiful, because you are such a great blessing <3
One of you may need this:
Felt something tugging at me to write this.
You may know this in your head, but question it in your heart. What I want you to do is say this aloud, speak this over yourself:
I AM a new creation. My identity lies in Christ.
I hope this encourages you and reminds you that you are no longer a resident of this world and are no longer a slave to it. May this also be a reminder of who you belong...
This blog is dedicated to Christ.
Want to be a man?
Spend time in prayer.
DECORATE THE INSIDES BEFORE THE OUTSIDES!
Decorations, while beautiful, are temporary. Sooner or later the tinsel, the trinkets, and the lights will come down to be stored away until next year. Sometimes the spirit that came with them is packed away until next year as well. That spirit of helping the poor, giving freely and love for all, somehow, gets packed away with the Christmas decorations.
Our decorations may be a true reflection...
onesveryexistence asked: Hey Dan :) You are such a blessing to the world and your blog has been such a blessing to my life. Thank You :) God bless <3
Dear Woman
If you do not know how much you are worth, I suggest you actually try to figure it out soon. When you don’t know your worth, you will fall for the sweet talk, the consistent meaningless apologies, the immature attitudes, and if it gets far enough, you may even come to accept the verbal abuse and/or physical abuse because you have settled and do not know your worth.
You talk to this guy...
rnblovesu asked: hey(: so i just wanna say that i love your blog<3 when ever i see a post i smile(: and also its just awesome to see another man of God not afraid to show and share his faith<3
Regardless of what happened yesterday, if you...
Faith & Freedom: What is BEAUTY? →
woman-of-god:
Beauty can be seen on the outside but it is NOT the foundation of what true beauty is all about. If beauty was SOLELY based on outer appearance, marriages will end as soon as the spouse(s) gets old. Think about it. Truth is, one day your gonna get wrinkly, weak, grumpy and maybe smelly, so all of…
SHE SEEMED SO PERFECT!!!
She was so attractive. I was drawn in from the very beginning, all that was about her, I desired. She had all the features that I “needed”, and in my eyes, she held the secret to happiness. I loved her. I wanted to be with her forever. I gave her my all, gave her my heart. Her appearance was captivating, alluring if you will. To me, I saw no flaws, no faults, she was my ideal.
Who...
Men vs. Boys
A Boy will flatter her.
A Man will compliment her.
A Boy will spend his money on her.
A Man will invest in her.
A Boy will view her as his property.
A Man will view her properly.
A Boy will lust after her.
A Man will love her.
A Boy will believe HE is God’s gift to woman.
A Man will remember a woman is God’s gift to Man.
But you, man of God: Run for your life from all...

While walking through the forest one day...
a farmer found a young eagle who had apparently fallen out of his nest. He took it home and put it in his barnyard with his chickens and there it stayed for years. It wasn’t long before the little eagle learned to eat and behave like the chickens.
One day a naturalist passed by the farm and saw the eagle confined in the barnyard with the chickens. When he inquired about this strange sight,...
KNOW YOU'RE KINGS AND QUEENS!
One day a passerby saw a homeless man on the roadside. He stopped for a moment to hand him some loose change and casually said “God bless you, my friend”. “I thank God,” said the homeless man, “I am never unhappy.” “What do you mean?” the passerby asked. “Well,” he said, “when the sun is out, I thank God — when it rains, I thank...
What's under your mask?
One great truth of life is that we never really know people until we catch them without their masks; without their game face, without their public personality. We really get to know them when we know them without the mask.
Sometimes we don’t like the man or woman behind the mask. Sometimes it frustrates us and makes us angry. The beauty of our relationship with God is that he loves the man or...
Quick Question (not picking on anybody!)
General Question: What good does it do you if you like or reblog one of those “Reblog if you love God” posts? God is not going to say when you meet him face to face, “Well you DID reblog a post that says you love me, so i guess i believe you.”
Obey God if you love him. Run to him if you love him. Sit at his feet if you love him. Let nothing take his place if you love him....
Faith & Freedom: Are you a TREE? →
woman-of-god:
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord And whose trust is the Lord. For he will be like a tree planted by the water, That extends its roots by a stream And will not fear when the heat comes; But its leaves will be green, And it will not be anxious in a year of drought Nor cease to yield fruit” Jeremiah 17:7-8
This tree KNOWS that it is planted and firmly grounded by rivers...
Some of you seem troubled. Depressed?
Hey friends, i was just looking through my dashboard, and noticed that some of you seemed to be going through a rough, wilderness time in your life right now. Some may be depressed, discouraged, or just simply feeling down, and i wanted to try and encourage you!
First, know that the enemy is subtle and the temptations of the flesh can so quickly quench the presence and power of God’s spirit...
truegurl asked: Hii I absolutely lovee your testimony & your youtube devotional videos, they have helped me soooooooo much!!! Thanks for that:) I think you should post some more. lol
andsheprays asked: Just read your testimony and it got me all teared up. I read God's unconditional love in your testimony. He is truly amazing and I just want to thank you for sharing. May you continue in being a blessing and may God continue in pouring out His love in you, so His overflowing love may touch the life of others, as you're doing with this blog. GBU!

IN SEARCH OF THE PERFECT MATE?
I don’t talk too much on relationships on this blog, but we are a people made for relationship and community so I figured I would share a bit. I know some of you may need to hear this!
Basically, If you could have the perfect mate, what qualities would you like for your mate to have?
Should he be taller? Should she be finer?
Some, if given the option, would forego the looks if...
SIN IS CREEPING!
Across America, the Church has become relaxed in the faith. Out of fear, ignorance, or negligence we have allowed the standards of God to be reduced to mockery.
As ambassadors for Christ it is our responsibility to protect the faith against impurities. We are charged with that function but yet we have failed miserably in this respect on so many occasions. Our failure has prompted the world to...

Do You Feel Strong?
“The joy of the Lord is your Strength.” (Nehemiah 8:10) Now if what brings God joy is our obedience, and we are being disobedient, sitting comfortable in our sin, hold on to an unrepentant heart, and altogether choosing not to show God we love him by choosing his will over our own, where do we expect to find any lasting strength? If the joy of the Lord is supposed to be our strength,...
GET UP!
You may be wounded right now from an earlier fall. You may feel like there’s just no way you can make it to the end. But God didn’t send you this far only to start the race — He got you here to finish it! Now, get up! Brush off the dirt! And keep going! He will give you the strength! There’s soooooooooooooooo much work to be done!!! LETS GOOOOO!!!
