INFLUENCE MATTERS
How will we each affect/influence our little corner of the world today? How will we be influenced by others? How will the power of our prayers affect the lives of others in our little corner of the world? Your influence matters to more people than you realize. Thank you for being a positive influence in my life with your love and prayers and friendship. I pray your day is blessed in every way and that the angels of the Lord encamp around you and your family and keeps each one from all harm. May every need be met. May you also be a blessing and encouragement to all you affect. I looked it up and discovered that the average person influences approximately 10,000 to 80,000 people in their lifetime. That’s a lot! Hence, the phrase ”Influencer” is being used to describe those who actively use their social media platforms to influence and affect others. You are important in the scheme of things. You have the power to influence and encourage many people today. Not only on social media, but as you go about your day and take care of your business out in the world. And as you do, there’s a snowball effect through those people that also reaches others in their sphere of influence.
Good Morning Dear Friends! There are over 5,000 people following me on Facebook and that means people from over 5,000 different backgrounds and experiences. That’s amazing to think of. I was sitting here drinking my morning coffee and thinking of and praying for those that I know who are even now in life altering circumstances. I’m so thankful for those of you who have prayed for me and my family. It has meant so very much to me. I know there are times your prayers have kept me alive. Thank you! You are important to me! We - you and me and others on here - are family, you know. Whether blood related or not. (48) Jesus said, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” (49) Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. (50) For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” (Matt. 12:48-50) In 1985 when I moved my little kids and I away from all of my blood relatives to the Carolinas, the Lord gave me the verse in Matt. 19:29: “And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.” I still have and love my blood relatives but truly He has also given to me family all across the country and even in other lands. I even have a couple of dear ones on here who are way over in Australia! Through social media we can affect many people and many lives all over the world with just one word of encouragement. That happened all the more during Covid when we couldn’t leave our homes or even go to church. I remember years ago when Bruce Wilkinson took one Bible verse, the prayer of Jabez, and formed a whole ministry of world wide encouragement around it. “And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested.” (1 Chronicles 4:10)
Have a great day! Love & blessings,
Joni Ames has been in itinerant prophetic ministry over 25 years, traveling and encouraging the Body of Christ. She does so totally by faith

INSOMNIA LACHUNE PRICE, PA-C, MPAS
CAUSE Insomnia may be the primary problem, or it may be associated with other conditions. Chronic insomnia is usually a result of stress, life events, or habits that disrupt sleep. Treating the underlying cause can resolve insomnia, but sometimes it can last for years. · Stress . Concerns about work, school, health, finances, or family can keep your mind active at night, making it difficult to sleep. Stressful life events or trauma — such as the death or illness of a loved one, divorce, or a job loss — also may lead to insomnia. Travel or work schedule. Your circadian rhythms act as an internal clock, guiding such things as your sleep-wake cycle, metabolism, and body temperature. Disrupting your body's circadian rhythms can lead to insomnia. Causes include jet lag from traveling across multiple time zones, working a late or early shift, or frequently changing shifts. Poor sleep habits. Poor sleep habits include an irregular bedtime schedule, naps, stimulating activities before bed, an uncomfortable sleep environment, and using your bed for work, eating, or watching TV. Computers, TVs, video games, smartphones, or other screens just before bed can interfere with your sleep cycle. Eating too much late in the evening . Having a light snack before bedtime is OK, but eating too much may cause you to feel physically uncomfortable while lying down. Many people also experience heartburn, a backflow of acid and food from the stomach into the esophagus after eating, which may keep you awake. Common causes of chronic insomnia include:
is a common sleep disorder that can make it hard to fall asleep, stay asleep, or cause you to wake up too early and not get back to sleep. You may still feel tired when you wake up. Insomnia can sap not only your energy level and mood but also your health, work performance, and quality of life. How much sleep is enough varies from person to person, but most adults need seven to eight hours a night. Many adults experience short-term (acute) insomnia, which lasts for days or weeks. It's usually the result of stress or a traumatic event. But some people have long- term (chronic) insomnia that lasts for a month or more. Insomnia may be the primary problem, or it may be associated with other medical conditions or medications. INSOMNIA
SYMPTOMS Insomnia symptoms may include:
·Difficulty falling asleep at night. Waking up during the night Waking up too early Not feeling well-rested after a night's sleep Daytime tiredness or sleepiness Irritability, depression, or anxiety Difficulty paying attention, focusing on tasks, or remembering.
Increased errors or accidents Ongoing worries about sleep
INSOMNIA & AGING Insomnia becomes more common with age. As you get older, you may experience: ·Changes in sleep patterns. Sleep often becomes less restful as you age, so noise or other changes in your environment are more likely to wake you. With age, your internal clock often advances, so you get tired earlier in the evening and wake up earlier in the morning. But older people generally still need the same amount of sleep as younger people do. Changes in activity. You may be less physically or socially active. A lack of activity can interfere with a good night's sleep. Also, the less active you are, the more likely you may be to take a daily nap, which can interfere with sleep at night. Changes in health. Chronic pain from conditions such as arthritis or back problems, as well as depression or anxiety, can interfere with sleep. Issues that increase the need to urinate during the night — such as prostate or bladder problems — can disrupt sleep. Sleep apnea and restless legs syndrome become more common with age. More medications. Older people typically use more prescription drugs than younger people do, which increases the chance of insomnia associated with medications. RISK FACTORS · You're a woman. Hormonal shifts during the menstrual cycle and in menopause may play a role. During menopause, night sweats and hot flashes often disrupt sleep. Insomnia is also common in pregnancy. You're over age 60. Because of changes in sleep patterns and health, insomnia increases with age. You have a mental health disorder or physical health condition. Many issues that impact your mental or physical health can disrupt sleep. You're under a lot of stress. Stressful times and events can cause temporary insomnia. And major or long-lasting stress can lead to chronic insomnia. You don't have a regular schedule. For example, changing shifts at work or traveling can disrupt your sleep-wake cycle.
Chronic insomnia may also be associated with medical conditions or the use of certain drugs. Treating the medical condition may help improve sleep, but insomnia may persist after the medical condition improves. ·Mental health disorders. Anxiety disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, may disrupt your sleep. Awakening too early can be a sign of depression. Insomnia often occurs with other mental health disorders as well. Medications. Many prescription drugs can interfere with sleep, such as certain antidepressants and medications for asthma or blood pressure. Many over-the-counter medications — such as some pain medications, allergy and cold medications, and weight-loss products — contain caffeine and other stimulants that can disrupt sleep. Medical conditions. Examples of conditions linked with insomnia include chronic pain, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), overactive thyroid, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. Sleep-related disorders. Sleep apnea causes you to stop breathing periodically throughout the night, interrupting your sleep. Restless legs syndrome causes unpleasant sensations in your legs and an almost irresistible desire to move them, which may prevent you from falling asleep. Additional common causes of insomnia include: Caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol. Coffee, tea, cola, and other caffeinated drinks are stimulants. Drinking them in the late afternoon or evening can keep you from falling asleep at night. Nicotine in tobacco products is another stimulant that can interfere with sleep. Alcohol may help you fall asleep, but it prevents deeper stages of sleep and often causes awakening in the middle of the night.

PREVENTION Good sleep habits can help prevent insomnia and promote sound sleep: Keep your bedtime and wake time consistent from day to day, including weekends. Stay active — regular activity helps promote a good night's sleep. Check your medications to see if they may contribute to insomnia. Avoid or limit naps. Check your medications to see if they may contribute to insomnia. Avoid or limit naps. Avoid or limit caffeine and alcohol, and don't use nicotine. Avoid large meals and beverages before bedtime. Make your bedroom comfortable for sleep and only use it for sex or sleep. Create a relaxing bedtime ritual, such as taking a warm bath, reading, or listening to soft music.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR SLEEP BY: PROPHET LOVY L. ELIAS
GOD GIVES DREAMS AS AN INSTRUCTION. HE IS NOT ONLY SHOWING YOU WHERE YOU'RE GOING, BUT IT'S ALSO AN INSTRUCTION. THEREFORE, SLEEPING TIME SHOULD BE TAKEN VERY SERIOUSLY.
PRAY 1
SERIOUSLY
TURN OFF CELLPHONES
IF PEOPLE HAVE EMERGENCIES LET THEM CALL TO JESUS, NOT YOU. YOU'RE NOT JESUS. LET THEM CALL 911 OR THE FIRESTATION. YOU CAN'T SAVE THEM. IF SOMEBODY DIED, EVEN IN THE MORNING WHEN YOU WAKE UP, THEY'LL STILL BE DEAD. YOU CAN'T CHANGE IT. IMAGINE JESUS TELLING SOMEBODY LET THE DEAD BURY THE DEAD. THE MAN WAS SAYING “MY FATHER JUST DIED. PLEASE ALLOW ME TO GO AND BURY MY FATHER AND JESUS SAYS, “LET THE DEAD BURY THE DEAD.” WHETHER YOU GO BURY HIM NOW. WHETHER YOU DON'T BURY HIM, HE IS STILL GETTING BURIED. YOUR DAD ALREADY DIED. YOU SAW HIM. LET'S GO DO THE WORK. THIS WAY YOU WILL SAVE MANY FROM DYING BUT THE MAN CHOSE DEATH.
Before you go to sleep, instead of scrolling TikTok; instead of scrolling Facebook; instead of scrolling Instagram, looking at other people's pictures… remember, a multitude of words are not just physical words, your mind is always spinning in circles and thinking constant thoughts. That's why you are dreaming things that don't make sense. One minute you're eating beans, the next minute you're swimming, the next minute you're in a car. You can't even make sense of your dreams because your thoughts are all over the place. A double minded person is double minded in all their ways and such a person should not expect anything from God. If your mind has no focus, God will not talk to you. Imagine you're watching other people's stories, instead of preparing yourself to sleep where God can meet you and tell you your story and show you your destiny. DON'T GET DISTRACTED BY SOCIAL MEDIA
THE MIND SHOULD BE FOCUSED
ONE SHOULD REPENT WHERE NECESSARY, SO THAT BY THE TIME THEY SLEEP, JESUS WILL SPEAK TO THEM. “I WILL MAKE SURE MY MIND IS SO MUCH ON JESUS, THAT BY THE TIME I SLEEP, JESUS WILL SPEAK TO ME. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY TIMES GOD HAS SPOKEN TO ME WHEN I WAS NOT PRAYING BUT PREPARED MYSELF TO SLEEP.” SLEEPING TIME SHOULD BE A DETOX TIME FROM ANYTHING OR ANYONE THAT MAY HAVE ANNOYED YOU IN THE DAY. I WILL MAKE SURE I DETOX OF ANYONE THAT MAY HAVE ANNOYED ME IN THE DAY. I WILL REPENT WHERE I NEED TO REPENT. GOD SPEAKS TO PEOPLE WHILE THEY SLEEP, AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO PREPARE ONESELF TO HEAR FROM HIM. REMIND YOURSELF: O “I WILL PREPARE MYSELF BEFORE I SLEEP. ”O “MY SLEEPING TIME IS THE MOST SACRED TIME FOR ME. NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT FOR ME THAN THAT.”
AS I READ AND STUDIED THE GREAT FATHERS IN SCRIPTURE, I WANT TO HONOR MY FATHER WHO DEMONSTRATED HIS LOVE IN SO MANY WAYS FOR HIS WIFE AND HIS FAMILY. RAISING 13 CHILDREN (9 SONS & 4 DAUGHTERS) ALONG WITH MY MOTHER IN THE INNER- CITY OF LOS ANGELES, WAS NO EASY TASK. HE GAVE OF HIMSELF SACRIFICIALLY ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. HE WAS A PROTECTOR, PROVIDER AND A MAN WHO LOVED HIS WIFE. HE WAS A FATHER WHO EVEN DISPLAYED THE TENDERNESS OF HIS HEART BY SHOWING US TEARS IN TIMES OF LOSS WHICH DISPLAYED A HEALTHY AND APPROPRIATE EMOTIONAL RESPONSE DURING THOSE TIMES. I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE WITH YOU THE LOVE OF A GOOD FATHER AND THE CHARACTER WE MUST STRIVE DAILY TO GROW IN TO AS AN EXTENSION OF LOVE FROM OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST! FATHERS, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, BE ENCOURAGED, LOVE YOUR CHILDREN, LOVE YOUR WIFE, BE THE PRIEST OF YOUR HOME AND BE THE EXAMPLE THAT YOU WANT YOUR CHILDREN TO BECOME! HAPPY FATHER’S DAY. IN HIS SERVICE, IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, JOSEPH DISPLAYED HIS LOVE BY PROTECTING HIS WIFE DURING HER PREGNANCY FORA CHILD THAT HE DID NOT FATHER BIOLOGICALLY! BY ADOPTION, A CHILD HAS EVERY LEGAL RIGHT AS A NATURAL CHILD IN THE FAMILY! JOSEPH WAS A GREAT EXAMPLE IN HIS ABILITY TO SHOW NO SIGNS OF IMPARTIALITY AMONGST HIS CHILDREN FOR US TO EMULATE! JOSEPH SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED HIS PURPOSE OF RAISING, PROTECTING AND PROVIDING FOR OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.. ZEBEDEE, THE FATHER OF THE GREAT APOSTLES JAMES AND JOHN DEMONSTRATED HIS LOVE AS A FATHER TO HIS SONS BY ALLOWING THEM TO PURSUE THEIR CALLING TO BE DISCIPLES AND EQUIPPING THEM TO BE HISTORICAL LEADERS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH. THE POSITIONS HELD BY HIS SONS JAMES AND JOHN IS PROOF OF THEVALUES ZEBEDEE INSTILLED IN THEM. ZEBEDEE, UNDOUBTEDLY FOREKNEW THE HAND OF GOD WAS UPONBOTH OF HIS SONS. SO AS A GOOD FATHER, HE TAUGHT HIS SONS HOW TO PROVIDE FOR THEMSELVES, HOW TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY AS A LEADER AND HOW TO HONOR AND RESPECT AUTHORITY IN EVERY OFFICE.
PASTOR RON ROBERTS
UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE MANY OF YOU WHO WILL READ THIS ARTICLE THAT HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE TRUE LOVE OF YOUR FATHER! THIS IS MORE PREVALENT AMONGST A FEW ETHNIC GROUPS THAN OTHERS. THE ABSENCE OF A FATHER IN THE HOME AND IN THE LIVES OF THEIR CHILDREN HAS BEEN A MAJOR CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO A GREAT DEAL OF CALAMITY AND CRIME WITNESSED BY CHILDREN DAILY. THIS IS UN-IMAGINABLE FROM MY VANTAGE POINT BECAUSE GOD GRACED ME AND MY SIBLINGS TO GROW UP WITH A GODLY FATHER AND FOR THIS, I AM GRATEFUL. WITH A HEIGHTENED SENSITIVITY, MY PRAYER IS TOWARDS THOSE WHO STILL BARE THE INJURIES OF THEIR CHILDHOOD IN ADULTHOOD AND ARE STILL HURTING FROM THEIR “ABSENT DADDY” SCARS. THERE ARE MANY PASSAGES AND STORIES IN SCRIPTURE THAT DEMONSTRATE AND MODEL THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD FATHER! IN THE OLD TESTAMENT BOOK OF GENESIS, NOAH DEMONSTRATED THE LOVE OF A FATHER BY HIS OBEDIENCE TO GOD IN HIS RELENTLESS CONSISTENCY TO FULFILL HIS PURPOSE BY BUILDING THE ARK FOR THE SAFETY OF HIS FAMILY REGARDLESS OF THE DAILY RIDICULE FROM THE “ON LOOKERS” BECAUSE THEY HAD NEVER SEEN RAIN IN THEIR LIFETIME UNTIL THE GREAT FLOODS HAD COME TO CLAIM THEIR LIVES. ELKANAH, THE FATHER OF THE PROPHET SAMUEL ALSO DEMONSTRATED HIS LOVE FOR HIS SON BY HIS OBEDIENCE. HE ALLOWED HIS SON TO GROW UP UNDER THE ROOF OF ANOTHER MAN’S HOUSE TO BE MENTORED BY THE GREAT PROPHET ELI. HE KNEW THAT HIS SON’S DESTINY AND HIS SON’S PURPOSE WAS IN ELI. THIS DECISION WAS FOR A GREATER CAUSE THAT WOULD BENEFIT AND IMPACT NATIONS!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY
MAMA & PAPA
BY LADY LORETTA JONES
WOMEN IN BIG HATS, DRESSED TO PERFECTION. PINK TABLECLOTHS ADORNED WITH BEAUTIFUL FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS. A DECADENT MENU PREPARED FOR ROYALTY. CHANDELIERS SHIMMERING AS THE GUEST BEGAN TO TAKE THEIR SEATS. THIS IS WHAT WE WALKED INTO AS WE ATTENDED THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED HIGH TEA HOSTED BY LADY LORETTA JONES OF CITY OF REFUGE CHURCH IN GARDENA, CALIFORNIA.
HOW CAN I GET MY PARTNER TO LOVE ME ACCORDING TO MY LOVE LANGUAGE?
MOST COUPLES DO NOT HAVE THE SAME LOVE LANGUAGE. COUPLES SHOULD MAKE IT A PRIORITY TO LEARN THE OTHER PARTNER’S LOVE LANGUAGE. IF YOU DON'T FEEL LOVE FROM YOUR PARTNER, YOU CAN EXPRESS TO THEM HOW YOU FEEL. YOU CAN EXPRESS THINGS LIKE, “YOU KNOW I'M FEELING EMPTY”. IF YOUR PARTNER DOESN’T RESPOND TO YOUR FEELINGS OR DOESN’T FEEL THAT IT'S WORTH FILLING YOUR TANK, HE MAY NOT BE EQUIPPED TO FILL YOU OR MAY NOT CARE. YOU KNOW WHEN YOUR LOVE TANK IS FILLED WHEN YOU FEEL SATISFIED, VALIDATED, SEEN AND WORTHY. YOUR PARTNER HAS POURED INTO YOU, AND YOU’VE POURED INTO YOURSELF.NOT ONLY DOES YOUR PARTNER’S LOVE HELP YOU BUT THE LOVE YOU HAVE FOR YOURSELF, FIRST IS VALID AND MOST IMPORTANT. EVERYBODY LOVES DIFFERENT. EVERYBODY REQUIRES SOMETHING DIFFERENT. SO, WE'RE HERE TO LEARN EACH OTHER AND LOVE EACH OTHER AND FIND OUT WHAT IS EACH OTHER’S LOVE LANGUAGE.
WHEN THE PROGRAM BEGAN, WE SAT UP STRAIGHT, WITH CHINS RAISED AND SHOULDERS BACK AS LADY LORETTA SO ELOQUENTLY TOOK US THROUGH AFFIRMATIONS TO PREPARE US FOR A DEEP TEACHING ON THE 5 LOVE LANGUAGES.
HERE IS WHAT WE LEARNED:
THE MOST COMMON LOVE LANGUAGE
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING IS FINDING YOUR LOVE MATE. IT IS BEAUTIFUL WHEN YOU KNOW THAT YOU LOVE YOUR MATE AND THEY LOVE YOU. THE MOST COMMON LOVE LANGUAGE OUT OF ALL LOVE LANGUAGES IS QUALITY TIME. ACROSS THE NATION, SURVEY RESPONDENTS REVEALED THAT THE LOVE LANGUAGE AMERICANS RESONATED WITH MOST IS QUALITY TIME. I THINK THE REASON WHY WE LIKE QUALITY TIME IS BECAUSE IT MAKES US FEEL LOVED AND IMPORTANT. A STATEMENT IS MADE WHEN SOMEONE CARVES OUT A PORTION OF THEIR DAY TO BE WITH YOU. IT COMMUNICATES THAT YOU ARE WORTH IT. IF YOUR MATE IS NOT WILLING TO SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH YOU THEN WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY HAVE? YOU HAVE TO MAKE TIME FOR PEOPLE YOU LOVE AND THE PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT.
Lady Loretta Jones
THE LOVE LANGUAGE OF MEN
THE GREATEST NEED OF A MAN IS RESPECT. THE WAY YOU SPEAK TO YOUR HUSBAND CAN EITHER BUILD HIM UP TO BECOME A MONUMENT OR REDUCE HIM TO RUBBLE. WOMEN, SPEAK WITH WISDOM AND LOVE. EVEN IN YOUR ANGER, SPEAK WITH GENTLENESS. IN DOING THIS, YOUR HUSBAND FEELS RESPECTED, AND THIS IS THE GREATEST THING YOU COULD EVER DO FOR HIM. THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE LOVE LANGUAGE FOR THE BISHOP. HE WANTS AND NEEDS FOR ME TO RESPECT HIM. EVEN WHEN I ARGUE, I ARGUE VERY SOFTLY. I DON'T RAISE MY VOICE. OUR HUSBANDS WANT TO BE RESPECTED. THEY WANT TO FEEL HONORED. THEY WANT TO BECHERISHED AND THEY WANT MUSHY AFFECTION. MEN ALSO LIKE WOMEN WHO ARE BUSY. THEY LIKE WOMEN WHO WORK. THEY CAN'T DO LAZINESS. MEN RESPECT INDEPENDENT, STRONG, AND RESILIENT WOMEN. THIS IS THE PROVERBS 31 WOMAN. I READ THIS CHAPTER DAILY FOR FOUR MONTHS PRIOR TO GETTING MARRIED AND IT IMPARTED IN ME DEEP LESSONS ON HOW TO BE A VIRTUOUS WOMAN, WHOSE PRICE IS FAR ABOVE RUBIES. MY HUSBAND TRUSTS SAFELY IN ME BECAUSE I GREATLY ENRICH HIS LIFE.

LET GO OF PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DO WICKEDNESS AND CLING TO THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DO RIGHTEOUSNESS .

Have you ever heard the phrase “God gives seed to the sower”? Well that phrase is derived from this scripture above. What does it mean to really be given seen to sow? If a farmer is given a seed he would be a fool not to plant. When you plant one seed you are increasing the value. If you planted watermelon seeds you will harvest far more watermelons then the number of seeds you planted. This means where God is giving provision it is in our best interest to connect to the grace before us. However, the day that the farmer plants a seed is NOT the day he sees the harvest but imagine you are a frequent sower of seeds. Have you ever thought about what that would look like for you? If a farmer is always planting seeds, no matter the time of the year then he is constantly living in harvest. Similar to you, if you the farmer are being given seed and are a faithful sower then you will live out a life of abundant harvest. Even in seasons of drought the farmers benefit as will you. I remember my husband and I going through a season of drought and thinking since we have less we have to cut out our sowing. Boy was that a difficult time. I remember shifting my mindset and telling God if you give me seed as you have promised in your word, I will be faithful with it and make sure I connect with you in any way I can, and He did. Once He started to give me even $20 dollars more a month, $10 was going into good soil as my seed for our future. I watched increase begin to come month after month and not only in the form of finances. I watched peace come into my home, prayers I had forgotten about answered right before my eyes, doors were opening left and right! This was a product of my seeds. I made a vow that day that it didn’t matter if I had a lot or a little, I would never doubt God and stop my sowing again. Be someone who not only plants seeds but waters them with your faith. A CONSTANT HARVEST 2 Corinthians 9:10 “Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness” 1 Corinthians 3:7 says, “So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters isanything, but only God, who makes things grow.” If we do our part as believers and have faith that God will bring about the increase in the appointed season as His word reminds Us then we will always live out a life of great harvest. Shift your mindset today and watch your life grow!
Always with love,
Prophetess Taryn Monique

UNITY IN SPIRIT PASTOR MATTHEW
DIVERSITY AND UNITY ARE FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT CONCEPTS. DIVERSITY IS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT THAT ACKNOWLEDGES THE EXISTENCE OF VARIOUS DIFFERENCES AMONG INDIVIDUALS, WHILE UNITY IS A SPIRITUAL CONSTRUCT THAT EMPHASIZES A SENSE OF ONENESS AND HARMONY. BY REPLACING SOCIAL CONSTRUCTS WITH SPIRITUAL CONSTRUCTS, THE FOCUS SHIFTS TOWARD THE IMPORTANCE OF UNITY RATHER THAN MERE DIVERSITY. THE IDEA IS THAT DIVERSITY ALONE, WITHOUT UNITY, MAY NOT HOLD SIGNIFICANT VALUE. CONSIDER THE SCENARIO WHERE GOD INTENDED TO USE HUMANITY AS AN EXAMPLE OF UNITY. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF PEOPLE CAME TOGETHER WITH A SHARED MINDSET AND A COLLECTIVE HEART? THIS CONCEPT IS REFLECTED IN THE PRAYER OF JESUS IN JOHN 17:9-23 OF THE NEW LIVING TRANSLATION (NLT), HIGHLIGHTING THE DESIRE FOR UNITY AMONG BELIEVERS.
JAMES 1:26 (NLT) ENCOURAGES BELIEVERS TO REFRAIN FROM BEING CRITICAL OF OTHERS IF THEY SEEK UNITY. ADDITIONALLY, TO ATTAIN UNITY, PRAYER AND THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ARE ESSENTIAL, AS EXPRESSED IN ACTS 15:28 (NIV). THE TNT MEN'S GROUP AIMS TO FACILITATE PERSONAL GROWTH AND TRANSFORMATION, PROMOTING THE JOURNEY TOWARD BECOMING A BETTER VERSION OF YOURSELF. SEVERAL BIBLE VERSES SUPPORT THE CONCEPT OF UNITY WITHIN THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY, SUCH AS 1 CORINTHIANS 1:10 AND GALATIANS 5:19-21 (NLT), WHICH EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF AVOIDING DIVISION. ROMANS 13:8 (NLT) FURTHER PROMOTES THE IDEA OF UNITY, AND 1 JOHN 3:14-15 (NLT) HIGHLIGHTS THE DEFINITION OF HATE IN THE GREEK LANGUAGE AS LOVING SOMEONE LESS THAN THE LORD DOES. IT EMPHASIZES THAT HARBORING HATE TOWARDS A BROTHER OR SISTER IS AKIN TO BEING A MURDERER.
IN CONCLUSION, UNITY IN THE SPIRITUAL SENSE TRANSCENDS DIVERSITY. IT INVOLVES EMBRACING OUR CHRIST-LIKE NATURE, FOSTERING A SHARED MINDSET AND HEART, AND ACKNOWLEDGING THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYER AND THE HOLY SPIRIT'S POWER IN ATTAINING TRUE UNITY. IN LIGHT OF THIS, ANY SOCIAL CONSTRUCT THAT DOES NOT GIVE GLORY TO GOD IS DEEMED INADEQUATE AND PRONE TO FAILURE. WHILE IT MAY HAVE TEMPORARY SUCCESS, TRUE UNITY RELIES ON ACKNOWLEDGING OUR CHRIST-LIKE NATURE AND RECOGNIZING THAT WE ARE MORE ALIKE THAN DIFFERENT. UNITY IMPLIES THAT, IN OUR SHARED LIKENESS TO CHRIST, WE ARE UNITED IN THE NATURE OF GOD. #NEXT2GET UNITY. MEN’S DEN 48 | TNT MAGAZINE Pastor Matthew
