‭‭James‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬-‭6‬ ‭

“When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal.

Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body.

It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.”

Father God,

I come before You in the name of Jesus, the Light of the world. Your Word says that whoever follows You will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.

So today I ask You to shine Your light into every reader and area of our life’s , our minds, our hearts, and our family blood lines!

Lord, if there are any generational patterns of sin, bo***ge, bitterness, fear, addiction, pride, anger, unbelief, or rebellion that have been passed down,

I ask You to break their power over your followers and our family members by the blood of Jesus. I/we renounce every agreement that has ever been made with darkness, knowingly or unknowingly, and I/we reject every lie of the enemy.

Jesus, You are our light, our truth, and our freedom. Where darkness has touched those who are reading this and our family line, let Your light now overcome it.

Where there has been confusion, bring clarity. Where there has been bo***ge, bring deliverance. Where there has been shame, bring cleansing. Where there has been repeated pain, bring healing and restoration.

I declare that we belong to Christ, and we choose to walk in His light. We will not remain in darkness. We will not be ruled by the sins of the past. We will follow Jesus, and in Him We have life.

John 8:12–14, 16, 18–19

“Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’

So the Pharisees said to him, ‘You are bearing witness about yourself; your testimony is not true.’

Jesus answered, ‘Even if I do bear witness about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not know where I come from or where I am going. Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for it is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father who sent me.

I am the one who bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me.’ They said to him therefore, ‘Where is your Father?’

Jesus answered, ‘You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”

Happy Resurrection Day!!

HE IS RISEN! The tomb is EMPTY!

Death could not hold Him. The stone was rolled away. The angels declared it: “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen!” (Luke 24:5-6).

Every other founder of faith, Muhammad, Buddha, and Confucius, lie silent in their graves, their bones gathering dust through the centuries.

But JESUS ALONE shattered the power of death! “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live” (John 11:25). He didn’t just speak of victory, He WROTE IT IN HIS BLOOD on the cross and SEALED IT with an empty tomb!

The earth quaked. The veil tore. The centurion confessed, “Truly this was the Son of God!” (Matthew 27:54). Demons trembled, principalities crumbled, and hell itself was defeated. This is no myth, no legend, IT IS HISTORY WRITTEN IN STONE and witnessed by hundreds!

Jesus Christ stands alive THE FIRSTBORN FROM THE DEAD (Colossians 1:18), the King of kings who holds the keys of Death and Hades (Revelation 1:18). No other name under heaven saves. No other grave is empty. HE IS THE ONLY ONE!

Today, the grave clothes lie folded. The stone is moved. And because He lives, you can live too. “Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” (1 Corinthians 15:54-55).

Rise with Him! The world may deny it, mock it, or ignore it, but the empty tomb stands forever as God’s thunderous YES to every promise. Jesus is alive!!.

Worship Him. Share the truth. Let hell howl, let the demons and those that practice and lead His followers astray, tremble!! You've already lost, and the Victory is ours!

HE HAS WON! HE HAS RISEN!!!

Every man reaches a moment where something slips. Not his strength, his control. It happens in seconds. A tone. A delay. A lack of effort and suddenly you’re explaining, reacting, giving more than you should. Not because you’re weak, but because you were never taught command in the moment. Most men blame emotions. Some blame women. A few see the truth: The problem isn’t feeling. The problem is reacting without rules. If you feel yourself wanting to explain, justify, chase clarity, or overextend, you’re not broken. You’re operating without self-command. And men without self-command don’t need motivation. They need containment. That’s why I wrote How to Stop Reacting. Not hype. Not mindset talk. A step-by-step self-command system designed to: • Stop emotional hijack before it costs you leverage • End over-explaining and reassurance seeking • Restore calm authority under pressure • Install rules so you don’t rely on willpower This isn’t about becoming cold. It’s about staying in control. Control isn’t suppression. It’s decision containment. → Start with How to Stop Reacting Regain control when it matters most.

Facts! We are all human with flaws….just get back up and keep seeking! 💯🫡

Life has brought me so many twists and turns. I’ve had an opportunity to reflect this past weekend and just wanted to say I am grateful for it all—the good and the bad, the tears and pain, the joy and the happiness! I am grateful.

I was also reminded of how much we are not in control…pause and think about that for a moment. It saddens me that we will always continue to find ways to divide. Let it be religious practices, race, sexuality, identity, politics, etc. We are all seeking something that will only be satisfied by the one who made you.

God is, God will be, God is always in control.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11

It reminds us that even when life feels confusing, painful, or delayed, God has a purpose and a plan that’s ultimately for our good, even if we don’t see it yet. It’s a call to trust His timing and direction.

Please don’t get discouraged by the world and the evil that’s designed to separate and destroy us! Focus on your relationship, which is the only one that matters in the end. Your relationship with Jesus.
Stay Blessed, Stay Prayed up!!

As the sun rises this Memorial Day, we pause to reflect on the courage, bravery and selfless dedication of the heroes who gave their lives in service to our nation. We are forever grateful for their sacrifice. #AmericasNavy250 #MemorialDay #USNavy #GoldStarFamilies #NeverForget
