Look at the actions of individuals and not just their words. Needs to line up and don’t be tricked. There should be an aroma of Christ on those who have intimate relationship with Christ. What we see within the last week is not even close to what a Christian represents.
Check out this fragrance. It’s called LOVE.

John 13:34-35

34 So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. 35 Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.

Scripture Reference:
Romans 6 read entire chapter

Verses 6-8
“We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For one who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.”

Verses 11-14
“So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.”

Microsoft Outlook has a function that if you want to make sure someone has received your email you’ll get a notification that they have done so. As I was sitting and meditating on Romans 6, that “message received about your Word God” came into my spirit. After thinking that I quietly heard ” that’s not all Tina”. God desires not that we just receive the message but that we accept it, believe it and truly live it out and even tell others. James 1:22 tells us that we shouldn’t be just hearers but also doers (live it out in our actions as well) of the Word of God.

If there was any type of spiritual notification that would appear to God right at this moment after you’re read this what would your message appear to Him? Message received but just read and still old self or Message received, accepted, embrace, believe, trying to live for The Lord”. Live free in Jesus!

Love y’all and praying
Tina

I was just sitting and thinking about how Gospel music has changed over the years. I remember listening to James Cleveland, Walter Hawkins and the Hawkins singers, The Winans, Shirley Ceasar, Albertina Walker and many more as a kid. I thank God that my parents exposed us to those artist at an early age. Makes me appreciate their talent as well as their love for the Lord. They would sing from their hearts and be done. Now a days it’s changed to folks singing just to get a rise out of the audience (shouting and hooping and hollering). But real talk it’s about your heart for God. It’s about Him and Him alone. Not you
John 4:24 tells reminds us about worshiping God in spirit and in truth. It’s all about giving God glory and honor due.
God has had me really taking a look at myself and ask why I do what I do. I responded to Him, “my desire it to make you look good. Give you glory and honor. And continuing to praise your name because You are so worthy!!!!”. Not about me Oh God. But ALL YOU

Amazed at God’s grace that He gives us. I owe all my worship to Him. Out of adoration, respect, love, I will worship God with my entire being I exist for Him. Don’t deserve the things He’s done but I am so thankful. Romans 5:1-2
