The Enemy Doesn't Stand a Chance (Against Me)

It is Wednesday and our prayers are that we have found you in good health, spirits and your trust in GOD remains steadfast. We all have been living and experiencing change in our daily lives for the past year and a half and many of us have been going into, coming out of, or going through something in the form of attacks from the enemy on a regular basis. That seems to be the theme of most people’s lives today but that should not be anything new to Christians -- that is part of our Christian Journey, seemingly more so in last year in half than ever before. But I ask you not to be dismayed, because scripture says, “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers (sisters) throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings” (1Peter 5:8-9). Through this scripture, GOD is reminding some and informing others that what you are going through is not exclusive to you, many others are going into, coming out of, or going through the same pains, heartaches, troubles, and issues that you and I are. You are not alone and for GOD to say it in scripture indicates HE is aware of the suffering you are experiencing. Amen. Therefore, because HE is aware of it, HE sends you this message “Cast all your anxiety on HIM because HE loves (cares) for you” (1 Peter 5:7). In these difficult/stressful times for many, GOD wants and desires that you cast all your concerns, stressing, anxiety and worry on HIM, because HE cares about and loves you. But be reminded to cast, means it takes some effort, action, and energy. Like a fisherman casting a line into the water, effort, action, and energy, (work) is needed from us. Because scripture tells some and reminds others - “Faith without works is dead!” (James 2:17). So, there must be some work on your behalf in this fight against the enemy -- here is something you can do while you are in a battle with the enemy; stand on these very words - GOD has told me that “The Enemy Doesn’t Stand a Chance Against Me”. Say it with boldness and stand on it in faith as you continue to stay in prayer to GOD. Prayer, faith and standing on GOD’s Word are some of the main tools in your Christian toolbox to use to encourage and remind yourself in the midst of a battle, who you are and whose you are! You are the Victor! Not a Victim. But unfortunately, so many people allow the enemy to fool, trick, hood-wink, and bamboozle them into thinking that they do not stand a chance against him. Please know this is utterly not so! Scripture tells some, reminds others, and informs the uninformed that you have the Victory in CHRIST JESUS. You always have and you always will if you stay connected, prayerful, faithful, trusting, and standing on what GOD has spoken to you in HIS Word. Please allow me to remind you of a few things HE has promised those who believe: “you are more than conquerors” (Romans 8:37), “the battle is not yours, it is the LORD’S” (2 Chronicles 20:15), “no weapon formed against you shall prosper” (Isaiah 54:27). Now, first understand, to be a conqueror there must be opposition. Secondly, for the LORD to fight a battle for you there must be one against you. Lastly, to prosper against a weapon, a weapon must be raised against you. In all the scriptures, battles, attacks, wars, or weapons are coming at and against you, but in all of them in the end, they all speak of your victory. So, when the enemy comes in like a flood against you, multiple attacks at the same time, remember this “They Don’t Stand a Chance Against You”, you are a victor not a victim in all the battles the enemy brings your way. Believe that and stand firm on it, regardless of or despite what you are seeing or are experiencing, because in the end you will have the victory if you hold on. Amen

He Spoke It-You Heard It

“HIS Purpose for You Is Connected to Others”

We pray, as Wednesday has rolled around again and the world seems to be opening back up, that everyone continues to proceed with caution and remain diligent in doing what’s right to stay safe and to protect the safety of others. We all must not only think of ourselves and our own safety but the safety of others as well. Because, what this pandemic has hopefully shown us is that as large as this world appears to be, it’s smaller than we think and we are all connected, dependent, and tied to one another. I believe GOD planned it that way, so we would all work together to achieve HIS ultimate plan for HIS world. Peace, Love and Unity!Just as a hummingbird is dependent on the flower for nectar and to live- the flower is just as dependent on the hummingbird to take, drop, and spread seeds of nectar in order for the flower to continue to reproduce. Their purposes and GOD’s plan for their very existence are not independent they are intra-dependent of/on one another. Do you know GOD has designed, created, purposed, and planned our lives and existence in the exact same manner? We are purposed and provided a GOD given plan for our lives that’s intra-dependent /connected and tied to each other.If we look throughout the bible, we find that connection and intra-dependence is the general theme of everyone’s life that GOD chose to do great things through and to-- David’s life was tied to and dependent on Goliath, Jonathan , Saul, Bathsheba, and Uriah in route to GOD’s planned purpose for his life. Ruth’s life was tired to Naomi, Boaz, to Obed, and eventually part of the lineage of JESUS. The life of Joseph was connected and dependent on his brothers, Potiphar, Potiphar’s wife, the warden, the baker, the cupbearer, in route to his planned purpose in the palace. This theme goes all the way to JESUS - HIS life connected to the twelve disciples and yes, even Pontus Pilot. Lives, plans, and purposes given to each by GOD- connected and intra-dependent upon one another. (Note: Even the bad actors that come about in your life are part of the plan, because their contributions will eventually work for your good as well. Romans 8:28. Know haters will become your elevators and footstools for you to step on in order for you to go higher) In GOD’s grand plan and purpose, we are not independent contractors called to do work for GOD on our own, by ourselves or singularly. No, GOD’s plan and purpose for your/our lives is bigger than that, generally too big to carry out alone. If you can carry out or accomplish GOD’s planned purpose for your life alone, you are probably not hearing HIM fully, the plan has not fully been realized or has not fully materialized. Understand, even JESUS was connected to 12 then another 72 that He sent out to assist in spreading the Word in route to JESUS’ planned purpose. We all are Connected to others we know, don’t know or may not have even met as of yet.I have come to discover in my Christian journey that GOD’s plan and purpose for my life is too big to be carried out alone. It is like the hand trying to accomplish something without the wrist, fingers, elbow, and shoulders assistance. Just as our body was created and designed by GOD to work best when all of the parts are working in unison -- our lives and connections to others is exact the same. Things move a lot smoother when we work together with the people GOD has placed in our lives to work with. In this week’s message “HIS Purpose for You Is Connected to Others”, you will hear about how GOD’s plan for us is to work together to accomplish what HE has assigned, called, planned and purposed for us to do. Amen!

Worthy vs Worthless (God Do You Serve)

"Haven't Always Been That Holy (Everyone Use to be Something or Someone Else)"

As the days of 2022 are swiftly passing and the months are seemingly passing faster than ever, the first Wednesday of May is already upon us – where the showers of April has brought forth the blossoming flowers of May. We are prayerful that you are seeing GOD blossom something in your life as well. Because if you have been sowing in tears the last few months, know GOD has seen them and is capable of drying crying eyes and bringing forth blessings out of/from despair. Please be reminded we serve a GOD that is capable and able of doing all things – we serve a Holy and worthy GOD, worthy of all our Praises. AmenAs stated, the GOD we serve is HOLY, has always been, and will always be HOLY. Unlike man, (you and I), who is described by scripture as being like filthy rags. Our righteousness and holiness are bestowed on us by Almighty GOD. But even when we are deemed righteous and holy, HE is still working on us, progressing us, and we are striving not only to become better daily but to hold to the standard GOD has set before us. As stated, GOD is the ONE, based on HIS Word, that deems us holy and righteous; therefore, we can draw the conclusion that none of us has always been so righteous or holy. We all were someone and something else before GOD found, rescued, delivered, saved, redeemed, and deemed us HIS children. Amen. And for that we all should be glad, grateful, and thankful that GOD has shown each of so much grace and mercy – while waiting patiently for us to come out of our foolishness, sinful living, and being everything but what HE created us to be.In our message today we ask you to reflect on; where you were, who you were, what you were doing, how you were living, and what condition you were in when GOD found you. I know many Christians try to forget the condition they were in before CHRIST and attempt to make others believe they have always been the person GOD has created them to be and are today. To me that is so unfortunate – not only do you nullify your own testimony and witnessing, in addition you are nullifying the glory GOD can get from transforming/morphing you from a filthy rag into a towel that’s whiter than snow.Also, within that self- reflection we also ask you to look at young people today and see yourself – you were them not too long ago and remember the generation before us who attempted to beat and force feed religion to us only to cause some to rebel against JESUS. It was only in your own time and season when you opened your heart to HIM, not on someone else’s timetable. So often is the case today. We ask – have you become your grandparents or parents doing the very same things to your children now? Our message simple yet so profound – “You Haven’t Always Been That HOLY – Everyone Use To Be Something and Someone Else” asks you to glance back at who you were before you were saved and think about today’s young people, as well as, speaks on the before lives of some of the popular biblical figures in the bible. In closing, we ask that you take a minute, actually 27, to listen to the message and when you finish hearing we hope reflection will bring about change. Change in your approach, if you’re not Christlike, in bringing young people into the fold and bosom of CHRIST. We believe it will be through the CHRIST lived out through you that will draw others in – including your own/grown children. Live and love out your walk in front of them that they may see your light shining – “The Holy You”, and not the meanness, evilness and/or vile language from your lips – “The Other You”. Let your lips spew fresh waters of encouragement, inspiration, sound instruction and uplifting. “If I be lifted up I will draw all men” –lift HIM up in how you live and love in your daily life and others will come to CHRIST through you.

Unknowingly Submitting to a Headless Head

Unknowingly Submission Wednesday Good Wednesday to you! We are excited about being blessed to be able to share a Word of GOD with you. We pray that you’ve had a marvelous week and have continued to study, listen, pray and read- in order to continue to get closer and closer to GOD. In getting closer to HIM, it will allow you to know HIM in a greater way and truly knowing HIM will allow you to submit and commit to HIM on a higher level. Knowing GOD is good, but committing and submitting to GOD is even better which leads to obeying HIM. That is where HE desires all of us to be. Understand truly living for GOD requires commitment, submission, and obedience. So, Today I ask you this one simple question, who are you or have you submitted to? And I know most all will say they I have to GOD, but truth be told- that false! In today's society we see people are willing to submit and commit to people that are unbecoming of such power being wielded over others. Because power being given and submission to these kinds of people are always abused. This is not only in society(publicly) but more importantly it is something that is taking place in many homes and relationships today. It has become so prevalent that we see divorce rates skyrocketing, spousal abuse rising, as well as mass murders of family-by-family members. So, unfortunate for all involved and all who are left behind to have to live with all of it. Can I say today we have submission and commitment problems in our society. We often hear I did not know he/she was like that! So, today in our message “Unknowingly Submitting to A Headless Head” we want to speak about submission of and committing to the unsubmitted and the uncommitted. Simply stated be careful and mindful to whom you are submitting and committing yourself too. If they have not submitted or committed to GOD should you truly be committed or submitted to them. Just a question we all need to ask ourselves. As always, we truly appreciate your support and your help in spreading the Word of GOD! We are thankful to all of you for taking the time to fellowship with us! And don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube Channel and check out our website, where you can sign up for updates. We pray that you are blessed, your submission and commitment to GOD continues to grow to higher levels.

Praiseworthy

Praiseworthy Wednesday Greetings to our aajpod family, we are thankful and grateful to be back with you and carrying a Word of GOD in our Spirits to share with you. We hope that we have found you in good health, spirits, joy and strength to overcome all that we are dealing with today. And even you find yourself in a uncomfortable or unfamiliar place in your life, our GOD is still GOD; worthy to be believed, trusted, and praised. Know HE will see you through whatever you’re going through. As human beings we all have things and people we are fond of. But we can never allow fondness of people or things to turn into worship or praising of them. We have seen in recent years people have been killed, gone to jail, and participated in an insurrection. Due to the following of one person and his lies. They allowed their fondness to turn into worship and cult like devotion to a man, who is not worthy of it, never has been worthy of it, and will never be worthy of praise and/or worship. No mortal man is worthy of that! In today’s message we want to share with you and talk to you about a Someone who is “Praiseworthy”. And unlike any man on this earth, HE and HE alone is Worthy of all our worship and praise. And allow me to say this to you, if you find yourself in some difficult times, hardship or trouble— take some time to praise and worship your way out of it. Praising and worshipping not a man or things but lift them up to the One True GOD. Who is able to do what man cannot. Amen. As always, we truly appreciate your support and your help in spreading the Word of GOD! We are thankful to all of you for taking the time to fellowship with us! We here at aajpod thank you for your time, we pray health, strength, comfort, blessings, and healing to all of you. With Love, Jerome To GOD be the Glory!!

You Weren't Created to Fit In (But Stand Out)

Greetings to our aajpod family, We are back, after a little break. We believe everyone needs a little break occasionally in order to refresh, reboot, and recharge to come fresher and better. We missed being able to share GOD’s word with you but again, we are back and are delighted to be here with you to share a message. There are so many times people are compelled to try to fit in or are ostracized for not fitting into the box others want them too. As we just saw in the Women’s National Championship Game, where social media attempted to lambaste the LSU player for doing the same thing the Iowa player did. One praised for it and the other attacked for it. I say to the LSU player be you, you don’t have to be what others want you to be. Many times, they don’t understand your calling, purpose, or reasoning for doing what you do. I say as long as you’re not hurting anyone else, in what you’ve been purposed to do, be like Nike and just do it. Because everyone Isn’t created to fit in - - some were created to stand out. Are you the one that has been and are doing it or are you the one who has been created to do it but are afraid because what backlash you may encounter. I say be like Joseph, read his story if you don’t know it, knowing haters will hate, doubter will doubt, and the jealous will continue to be jealous…but regardless of what they may do you just keep being you. Stand out and don’t try to fit in, you weren’t created too! Long hair, short hair, your hair or weaved hair, short lashes, no lashes, fake lashes or store-bought lashes; live out the story and purpose GOD designed and created you to live. Use your platform to elevate others but not spread or tolerate hate from ones that may differ from you. Being created differently calls for you to sometimes act differently and in doing so others will attack you due to it. But don’t be dismayed or deterred it is par to your course and designed journey. Change doesn’t happen without making some people uncomfortable, act out of character, show who they really are or make outlandish comments. Understand, you being quiet allows them to keep the status quo as they determine, but speaking out ruffles feathers and brings out they’re true feelings, thus exposing the prejudice that has always laid right beneath the surface. Remember, GOD’s Purposed people weren’t created to fit in but to stand out. In today’s messages we speak on this very topic “You Weren’t Created to Fit In (But to Stand Out”. And I am here to say I’m unapologetically me; One GOD has called, anointed, appointed, favored, and created to Stand out not fit in. Amen We here at aajpod thank you for your support and assisting us in spreading the Word of GOD to the masses. Share our link with family, friends, and foe alike- they too need JESUS. Again, we are humbled, grateful and pray GOD’s favor and blessings in and over your lives. Amen! Congratulations LSU Lady Tigers…And to AR #10 Continue to be Unapologetically You and Stand Out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSZ5NMueF2s https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=profile&section=username Thank you, w/ Love Jerome "To GOD be The Glory" aajpod.org
