tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-259047982012-01-27T07:09:01.041-05:00Welcome to my New Blog where I will be posting my Daily Devotions. Please accept the term "Daily" loosely as it will be more like 2-3 times a week, especially in the beginning. Pray for me as I share my devotions and an occasional rant, praise report or review of a gospel CD, that I'm feeling. I pray it is a blessing to all who read it. Please leave me a comment or two and let me know what you think. Thank you and have a Blessed day!!!AJ WOODSONhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12087177549549985934noreply@blogger.comBlogger1241100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25904798.post-75653081046327028162012-01-27T06:57:00.001-05:002012-01-27T07:00:21.747-05:00

In the midst of life trials come.. When you are in Christ you may seem to get hit harder than the average person. At least that's what it feels like.

It is only the Spirit of YHWH that shall give us comfort and insight that this is truth.

It was all a dream, I used to read Word-Up! Magazine Salt-N-Pepa and Heavy D in the limousine – Notorious B.I.G (Juicy) My pastor, Dr. George D. Crenshaw often says in his sermons that when God gives you a vision, he will give you the provisions to carry it out. When we are young we dream about being a lot of things when we grow up.

A great building is built from a great blueprint. In the same way, great marriages are built by God’s glorious blueprint. Bad marriages do not result from an imperfect design but from builders who don’t build according to God’s plans! Let God be your architect- Stay Spiritually Minded!!!

God designed the husband to take the initiative in bringing a constant shower of unconditional love and kindness to his wife. God describes the husband’s love as an uncompromising sacrifice in Ephesians. “So husbands ought also to love their own wive...s as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself” (Ephesians 5:28). - Stay Spiritually Minded!

As I grow spiritually, more and more I find that I am continually learning and growing in GOD!I find the more I know, the more I find that I don't know!For anyone of us to say "I Know," is to cut ourselves off from continued learning with GOD!This also restricts or retards growth with the FATHER, SON, and HOLY SPIRIT!As children of GOD, we are constantly maturing in the LORD!When we think all is

I often hear people say stuff like God can't use me because, I'm not this or I'm not that. Well nuthin could be further from the truth. God has a great work for all of us to do. God told Jeremiah: "Before I made you in your mother's womb, I chose you. Before you were born, I set you apart for a special work." - Jeremiah 1:5. The same applies to each and every one of us, we were placed on this

God has restored our relationship with Him through Christ,and has given us the ministry of restoring relationships. - 2 Corinthians 5:18This is a subject that is close to home for me. Many around me, friends, family members and even a few casual acquaintances are suffering right now from broken fellowships with family and friends. The spirit of broken fellowship has even hit my immediate family.

What prompts you to pray? For some it is a crisis or calamity. Many are prompted by an unexpected diagnosis, discouraging prognosis or tragic event. A more meaningful question is why do you pray? As new converts most of us presented to God a catalog of desires or simply asked God to solve it, stop it, take it away or give me more of it. When you pray, concentrate on the focus of your prayers.

Fresh out of bondage, the Israelites had very few worldly possessions. All they possessed were the items given them by the Egyptians to hasten their departure. They were human, like each of us they had great concerns for their welfare and survival. They wondered where the next meal was coming from. They were concerned about what they would wear when the clothes on their backs fell apart. They

February marks the beginning of what is commonly referred to as Black History Month. This celebration was established by the renowned educator and historian Dr. Carter G. Woodson. Dr. Woodson realized that the African should be recognized for his contribution to America. Since its conception many have been honored and introduced for their brilliance. It is because of their struggles and mighty

God will either remove you from the storm or join you in it. God KnowsWe all are on our own personal spiritual journey in this life. Yet, many of us do not realize that God is the One who is directing and guiding our path. At one time or the other, we all have found ourselves in situations, whereby, we became depressed or we panicked because of the decisions we had to make. At one time or the

There is a difference between your calling and your purpose. We are called by God to an area of ministry for a specific purpose. The more we mature in Christ the more it becomes difficult to find spiritual satisfaction until we are operating in our purpose.When we were new in Christ, our goal was to walk in favor. As we began to grow in Christ, our goal was to walk in destiny. But when we matured

This one goes out to my family friends. Recently many people have been reaching out to me and complaining I have been unreachable. My cell is off (partially financially but I haven't rushed to get it back on either) and even those who email me haven't always gotten a reply right back or at all lately. When I have answered emails, some have commented I didn't reply to every email. Since I received

It’s been three months since I first started the Spiritual Minded site. Basically to say it was done low budget is an understatement. Try no budget, just a lot of time, effort, faith and lots of prayer! The human part of me wants to look at all I don’t have yet. But I had to stop look and listen and see all the incredible things that have happened in these three months.A moment of clarity, a time

If you ask 10 people this question, you will probably get 10 different answers. Evangelism in my opinion can not be reduced to a simple formula. To me is simply means to teach, preach, lead and spiritually uplift others. Depending on the group of people you are trying to reach, it can take on many different forms. Myself I have been involved in the hip-hop industry for 20 plus years. So what I do

Good morning. When you look at the word familiar it reminds me of the word family. Are you familiar with your family? Are you close to them? Or very busy? (Remember!) Be attentive to your family... There's a proverb that reads... "Listen to the whispers so you don't have to hear the screams.... New book in stores today!“Take back your family” ... A challenge to Americas parents!

Did you know that people come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime? When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They

“Be confident of this. He who began a good work in you will continue to perform it until it’s perfectly complete” (Philippians 1:6).Do you have dreams that just haven’t fully manifested themselves yet? Are there promises that you are standing on in your health, finances, career or relationships? Know this: God is a God of completion.He wants to finish what He’s started in your life. No matter how

“This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it” - (Psalm 118:24)Every day you are blessed to open your eyes to see another day is a precious gift from Almighty God.

Good morning. In our feverency, passion and enthusiasm for a goal, it is easy to fall into the trap of hurrying. I am not commending laziness. Nobody admires slow-moving. But, your energy, enthusiasm and excitement must wear the harness of accuracy. Punctuality is a great success trait! Moving steadily methodically, and even swiftly is admirable. (But remember!) Hurrying can produce costly

“Be confident of this. He who began a good work in you will continue to perform it until it’s perfectly complete” (Philippians 1:6) Do you have dreams that just haven’t fully manifested themselves yet? Is there something you can see yourself doing but are not sure you have what it takes? Do you wonder what your purpose is or is there a something God is calling you to do, that you are unsure of?

I am doin a massive landscaping job for a coworker of my wife. I planted several plants, some of them flourished from the beginning and some seem to die or showed very little signs of life. I was discouraged at first because I gave the same care to all the plants. They all got the miracle grown soil, the root stimulator and the other stuff required to give each plant the best chance to grow.

And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified and said, It is a ghost! And they screamed out with fright. But instantly He spoke to them, saying, Take courage! I AM!

It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. It

We have all heard or read the story about the one set of footprints in the sand, where a man questions God that when he needed Him most the man only saw one set of footprints in the sand.

My uncle Dr. Eugene Woodson, an ordained minister said to his brother, my father once, when he was delivering a recent sermon he was preaching to himself.
