Faith to keep my job by Elaine Davenport 2007-05-04 02:59:00 Years ago, I was on the verge of losing my job. I didn't understand it and it was too challenging. I thought about quitting, but instead I decided to read the Bible and pray about it. There were rumors that they were supposed to fire me when I started. I meditated on Psalms 34 V. 1-9 I began to recite it everyday. It was a faith building exercise for me. I ended up with a promotion. I wasn't expecting it. The whole exercise of faith established me for a great job, a subsequent marriage and even my current service unto God. Psalm 34 1 I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD; the humble shall hear thereof and be glad. 3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together. 4I sought the LORD, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. 5 They looked unto Him and were lightened, and their faces were not ashamed. 6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, Read more:Faith

My Crew by Elaine Davenport 2007-05-03 01:41:00 I'm not "hip" according to my kids. But I want to say this: I run with a crew of folks that LOVE LOVE LOVE God! In some circles that's not cool! But, in my circle it is TOTALLY COOL! Another thing we like is the Word, the understanding, the study, the research, the revelation; we can't get enough of it. We can't get enough of getting closer to God. So, if it sounds like I'm never going to quit talking about God and encouraging everyone to love Him and to get to know Him; or that I'm always going to have something to say about the subject of faith; I confess, it's true. I can't quit. Blessings________________________________________________________________________________________ Read more:Elaine
TWO ANGLES TO SUBMISSION...WHICH SIDE IS A CHALLENGE FOR YOU? by Elaine Davenport 2007-05-02 23:45:00 Submission is a word that people in our society have a problem with. In a country that has turned the corner of the denial of so many human freedoms, people have embraced those freedoms and there seems to have been a personality change. When I was a little girl, Sunday was a day of worship and stores weren't open. You couldn't go shopping for clothes, shoes, beer, school supplies, nothing. In fact, the divorce rate was a lot lower and all of our friends went to church. I had never heard of an agnostic. I had heard of atheists, but no one knew any. Overall, things were vastly different. I think as a society, we were all much more cooperative. Good or bad, there weren't many lawsuits. Well the pendulum swang and things changed and life is vastly different. We live in a society where people don't "like" to submit to anything unless they feel like it.God asks us to submit to Him. That's one vantage point; a very valid one. Submission is the Number One thing, you'll have Read more:Elaine
PREVAILED, Why obedience is important by Elaine Davenport 2007-05-06 20:41:00 Hear, for I will speak of excellent things, and the opening of my lips shall be of right things; for my mouth shall speak truth, and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. Proverbs 8: 6 (KJV) Part 3 I NEED FOR YOU TO PICTURE THIS SCENARIOThere were many ups and downs that I had while in school. I was still very vulnerable looking back. I was slowly progressing from the paralysis on the left side of my body. I was trying to get victory over the speech impediment. It was still impossible for me to use my left hand. My mother began to make several weekly trips to the emergency room; often going in the middle of the night requiring my presence. My children were being attacked at school; mostly by bullies; mostly verbally. The work load was incredible. Often, I would stay up all night to read and by morning, I would remember nothing at all. My only solution then and even now was to study 3 to 4 times as much. I was a full time student and a housewife and mom. Something came Read more:Elaine

Luke 11: 28(It's just so important that you know that at the time all of this was happening, I didn't know much about the Word of God.)PART TWOWhen all of this happened, the only two friends of mine who weren't going to think I was crazy was Cynthia and Jerri. Two women of God. We all spent days (I more than they; rightfully so) trying to figure out what the words meant. I needed to understand what God was saying. God sent me a message...THINGS BEGAN TO HAPPEN...Cynthia called one evening about an accelerated Bachelor's degree program at a Christian College about 10 miles away. Cynthia and I had talked for years about returning to school to get our degrees in such a program. We had heard it was hard and many people that we knew that had enrolled; had dropped out. Cynthia got in immediately, but I began to make excuses right off the bat. I decided not to get in t
PREVAILED: MAY 4, 2007 Why Obedience is important by Elaine Davenport 2007-05-05 02:20:00 Dear Friend, God Bless you today. I have been praying for you for many months; even if this is your first time ever coming to this site. I pray that things are balanced in your life ands that you remain spiritually enriched. I thank God for you and the fact that He has a grand design for your life.In the book of Jeremiah: Chapter 39, verse 11, it says:"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.Have a Great day.The following account is a true account. The most amazing fact that you must keep in mind as you read it is that I was not in a church, didn't know the Word of God and knew nothing about having a conversation with God. I was always a believer, I always had reverence for God; but this was the beginning of change for me. At this point; a messenger wouldn't do, so God spoke to me Himself.And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, to [reverently] fear the Lord our God for o Read more:Elaine

PREVAILED, CONCLUSION TO 4 PART SERIES: Why obedience is Important, May, 2007 2007-05-07 14:13:00 ConclusionA lot of times, we know that God is telling us to do something but we'll ask somebody to see what they have to say. So I asked my husband what he thought about my writing a newsletter for the subdivision. His reply was quite accurate. He said that would be out of order because there was no Board of Directors. He was right. Besides he said, we were moving. He said it was senseless for me to write a newsletter and we were leaving. I agreed. I wrote the newsletter, the neighborhood unified and I wrote many more. I began to rekindle my passion for writing and then Read more:CONCLUSION
Faith for supernatural debt cancellation and a turnaround by Elaine Davenport 2007-05-11 15:19:00 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.Hebrews 11: 6You reach a point where you almost hate to talk about money, because people so easily misunderstand. However folks in this present world we wrestle sometimes with financial things.THIS IS A TRUE STORYI have a friend who had a horrible Child Support debt. He bore some responsibility because he ran from it many years ago and he says that it caught up with him. It went well into the thousands. He says that he paid on it for twenty years and the balance never changed. Then he began to chance his faith.It was put on my heart to begin to intercede for him that his debt would be cancelled. It was clear that it had him in bondage. It's hard to convince people who are "new" in the faith to stand, but he did comply. Things began to happen in the spirit realm. Where he had met closed doors in the past trying to get Read more:Faith

You've "got" the situation, it doesn't have you. by Elaine Davenport 2007-05-09 21:07:00 Maybe it was my imagination, but the other day when the phone rang it seemed to ring a little louder than usual. I knew that it was a distress call. I rushed to get the phone. It was a long time family friend in great distress. She was dealing with some problems and we began to take different strategies as though the two of us weren't faith people. SIDEBARWe have to remember that we are "faith" people. We don't think like everybody else. We don't have to deal with the troubles that come. We have a Father who cares so much for us that He says, give it all to Me, I'll take care of it. At the end of the conversation, we prayed and then I spoke to my friend. I encouraged her to remember who God is. I reminded her of the devil's plan to kill, to steal and to destroy. I reminded her that God's Word says the she has the power over the enemy who when he comes in like a flood, will be met with the standard lifted up by the Spirit of the Lord. We also prayed for her peace. We Read more:Elaine
DEVELOP YOUR WINNING SPIRIT THURSDAY, MAY 17, 2007 2007-05-15 02:50:00 Dear Friend, how are you? I hope that you didn’t think that I forgot about you because I didn’t. Everyday, I think about the many people who come to this site and I get the prayers out for you. The word that comes to you today, seems a little different, but it is truly intended just for you. Proverbs 17 verse 8 says: A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: withersoever it turneth, it prospereth. Let me tell you a true story. I’ll try my best to make it short. (smile)I never had the ‘knack” or ability for taking care of sick or physically challenged people. I was never really even comfortable, around “the sick” always feeling awkward or that I might say or do the wrong thing. This was so true about me; until I became sick and physically challenged myself. I was so shocked when it happened. At the time, I thought that it was the worst thing ever! However, I learned some things, the main thing I learned was how it “felt.” I felt
DREAMZ TEACHES US A LESSON IN FAITH IN SURVIVOR FIJI SEASON FINALE by Elaine Davenport (WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 2007) 2007-05-14 14:00:00 I'm a writer but I'm also an interpreter of the landscape. I know many faith people watch little or no television, but I do selectively. I look for faith stories. Television doesn't intend for it to be that way, but sometimes it happens; especially in Reality shows. I won't watch many of them. However, I like watching Survivor.When Survivor began it's new season, few people expected they would have a formerly homeless young Black man. He wasn't polished or refined but he sure was likable. He talked a lot and too much but we still kept liking him. We have this "thing" for the underdog. I never expected him to get to the end of the game. The pattern is that generally minorities get voted off right off the bat. Somehow, Dreamz made it.There was a wild Season Finale on Survivor Fiji recently, the popular reality television show. I watched it looking for a faith story. I wasn't disappointed.Dre Heard, (also known as DREAMZ) age twenty-five years old, had a tough life. Read more:SURVIVOR

What do you "really" know about hope? by Gene McGuire (Guest Writer) (TUESDAY, MAY 14, 2007) 2007-05-14 04:38:00 "Faith is the substance of the things hoped for the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1)NOTE: When the word hope is used in the bible, it is not a wishy-washy wishing kind of thing. Recently I came across an explanation of that word which was so excellent that I wanted to share it with you. (The following is from "The Daily Devotional Bible" by Thomas Nelson Publishers, page 799.)Hope is the desire for something with the expectation of fulfillment. Hope involves trust in someone or something on which the expectation is centered. The Christian's hope is "sure and steadfast" (Heb. 6:19). Any hope is only as sure as its source is dependable. Christian hope is fixed upon God and His Word. Since God is omnipotent, He can fulfill that hopeful desire that He creates in His children. The hope of the wicked is described as being as fragile as the hope of the reeds when water is removed from their roots. (Job 8:11, 12) The hope of the godless is as fragile as a spider's web. (v. 14) He Read more:McGuire

Can you fight? By Elaine Davenport (Monday, May 14, 2007) 2007-05-14 03:59:00 The bible tells us to fight
the good fight of faith. Don't ignore this because as a believer, you are also a soldier. Soldiers fall in so many categories. There are: career soldiers, soldiers just passing through, officers, heroes, dishonorable discharges, medal winners, marines, Navy seals, Special Ops, Special Forces, soldiers who don't want to be soldiers, Elite Forces and many more.You're going to have to decide what kind of soldier you are, are going to be because the enemy has set his troops in motion and they are moving against you right now as we speak. We're part of the FAITH FORCES and we not only have to work together but we've got to be ON GUARD AND ON WATCH like the Bible says.My advice: Stay in the Word, Stay in Faith, Pray, Be on Guard and never forget that you have to fight. Never EPHESIANS 6: 10-18In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides].

OUR WORDS by Elaine Davenport 2007-05-17 15:33:00 I was watching television one day; it was a show called STARTING OVER. I think it's off of television now. It was a series directed to help people who were stuck in a so called rut and to help these grab hold of the dreams. Funny how that parallels the life of a believer. They were supported by : "life coaches." It was sweet.Before I stopped watching for a myriad of reasons, my attention was caught by a very talented woman. She wanted to be a country singer. When she received a compliment, she responded in awe of her accomplishment. By I was struck by a string of "words" I kept hearing her say. It was an expression, but she kept saying: "I could just die." I wanted to write her a letter, I never did. I rationalized that she'd probably be offended and misunderstand my letter.I just prayed for her. We have to watch our words. The angels move on our words. We can best be aided by using words that speak life, Blessing, favor, wisdom and peace into our lives. Just try it. Read more:Elaine

Pin the tail on the donkey; or not! By Elaine Davenport (Friday, May 18, 2007) 2007-05-16 00:25:00 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 2 Corinthians 5: 7I don't know what games they play at children's birthday parties nowadays. But, when I was a little girl we played pin the tail on the donkey. They put a blindfold over your eyes and stuck a pin in your hand (with a tail on it) and pointed you towards the picture of the donkey. After it was all over, whoever got the closest to the right spot won.Faith is like that in some ways and in some ways it isn't.You can't see where you're going by faith. You don't know how you're going to get there. You may as well be blindfolded. But, it doesn't matter because the angels have been sent to guide you. God will make sure that you get it right. If you by some way get it wrong, you don't lose. God is rich in mercy and He is the God of the 2ND, 3rd, 4Th, etc. chance and you'll get more turns until you win. You just gotta believe! It's not a game, it's your destiny and God has designed it so that you win. Just remember. Read more:Elaine

It is my prayer that this letter finds you well. I have been praying for you. I just want to tell you to stay in faith. I’m not worried about you either; because you are a mountain mover! Jesus said that if you have faith you can move it (any obstacle or challenge) and I know that you have faith. Today, I am writing to you about a matter that is important to God and important to you. Let me say that I realize that this question may have exact timing or bad timing; but it is expedient that you give it some thought. I thank you. A
Walls Fall down By Elaine Davenport (Monday, May 29, 2007) 2007-05-26 21:18:00 I try to avoid the "M" word on my Blog. The fact of the matter is that people take it the wrong way. Even though many have a financial challenge at one time or another. This is so. I went before God about a huge financial need and He taught me about faith even though I thought I knew quite a bit about it. I was led to meditate in the Book of Joshua. The following scripture seemed to jump out at me: Joshua 1:8 (King James Version)King James Version (KJV)This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.Then I was led to read Joshua Chapters 1-6 daily for one hour. My focus was on a business matter.Here's the link in the Online Bible should you wish to read it: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Joshua%201-6;&version=9;I did this for 6 days.

Don't Misunderstand Righteousness (PART TWO) by Allegra Howard, Guest Writer (Sunday, May 27, 2007) 2007-05-26 15:38:00 It is as we begin to meditate, consider and call ourselves righteous, that we develop a righteousness consciousness. When we do this, we actually begin to produce better conduct or what the bible calls the fruit of holiness. The next thing you may ask is, "What about my sin...that terrible unspoken habit I have? Well the remedy to getting rid of sin is merely a confession away. As we exercise our right in this area, maintaining our fellowship with the Father, we do actually see ourselves grow in righteousness and productive fruit thereof. It is as we grow in the Word of God and walk in the spirit that we will no longer fulfill the lusts of the flesh. ________________________________________________________________________________________* This information cannot be copied or reproduced or distributed without the express permission of Allegra Howard Read more:Guest

Don't misunderstand Righteousness by Allegra Howard, Guest Writer (Saturday, May 26, 2007) 2007-05-26 15:13:00 If you were to ask someone if they were righteous, most people without any effort would say: "No." People usually equate righteousness with the goody goody way that you act. But righteousness has nothing to do with the way that you act. Holiness is conduct; and righteousness is what you become when you receive Jesus as Lord. In fact, righteousness is the reason Jesus came to earth because when Adam ate of the tree God commanded him not to eat of mankind immediately experienced a downward spiritual spiral. His nature changed from one that is righteous or in right standing with God to that of a sinner. Also, if we were to label what Adam's nature had become in uncommon terms, we could say that Adam was actually born again from that of a righteousness "er" to that of a sinn "er." So now, rather than having an inward spiritual tendency to do good, he had now inherited an inward nature to do evil. His nature had changed from one that was born of God to that of his illegitimate s Read more:Howard

STRETCH YOUR FAITH By Elaine Davenport (Saturday, June 2, 2007) 2007-05-27 17:23:00 Acts19 v. 20 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed. And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works; Not forsaking (neglecting) the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting (encouraging) one another : and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Hebrews 10: 24,25Dear Friend,I prayed for you today. When I did, I got very emotional because I want to tell you in a way that you will not forget… that God loves you. It is not by coincidence that this letter arrived at your place wherever you are at this time in your life, on this very day. Maybe your divine message will come by letter, but sometimes it will come in person. Mine did. My friend Ruth, left me the most beautiful note one day.

Then I added a few people, and a few more and before I knew it, I think there were over two hundred families in my prayer book that I specifically pray for. So I KNOW that “ALL IS WELL” with you.

Have you made your list? By Elaine Davenport ( Wednesday, May30, 2007) 2007-05-27 14:25:00 Years ago, my husband and I weren't faith people like we are now, but we knew that God was real. We took our wedding vows quite seriously though we lived in a world where many people do not. This is no slam on them because we know that there are all sorts of circumstances that people face. It's just that for the two of us, marriage was a life long dream with the right person. It wasn't easy. It was worth it and God honored it.Well, that's not my point just wanted to give you some background. We started a habit of making a list of the things we wanted to accomplish over the next five years and we'd speak about it and as each thing happened we scratched it off the list. IT worked and we did this for many years. OUR LIST WAS NOT A LIST TOTALLY COMPRISED OF MATERIAL THINGS; YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THIS. There were goals and objectives on there as well and we weren't "faith" people. We didn't have that advantage; you do. And then we found out that there are biblical princip Read more:Elaine

It was like SEPTEMBER 11 th all over again by Elaine Davenport(TUESDAY, MAY 29, 2007) 2007-05-27 13:47:00 A nice site for information: http://www.digistat.com/gcf/spiritualwarfare.htmLast week, I was piddling around the garden of a friend. It was a beautiful day, a little hot but there was peace in the air. n This bis a true story. I decided to get a shovel out of the car and as I walked towards the car, I heard a rumble from the sky. I also heard loud noises and voices, but I couldn't make it out. It sounded like there was a major war happening about two blocks away. I thought about September 11th and looked for smoke or fire in the sky. A minute later, there was no noise and I never saw any6thing at all. What to make of all of this?When it all happened, I had been praying in the spirit all day.I was reminded of the troops of Satan preparing for war with us. I know that their war is never ending and that many people have been picked off already.

AN ANGELIC DELIVERY by ELAINE DAVENPORT(Sunday, June 3, 2007) 2007-06-02 19:16:00 Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16: 15Dear __________, How are you today? God Bless you and your family. I think about you a lot. I really do. I also pray for you. I don’t know what’s going on but your name keep coming up in my head and you’re on my heart a lot. You are a very nice person. You are a good person. It brings to mind a letter that I received from a dear friend by the name of Ruth Bankston.Ruth left a message for me on my doorstep one day. I opened it up and it said: Elaine, you are a really nice person. You are a good person; you do so many beneficial things for the community. She went on to imply that I was pretty good at serving others unselfishly…and then she hit me with some words that would change my life. And so, of course; now I am going to say them to you: ARE YOU FEEDING YOURSELF SPIRITUALLY?Now maybe if you’re reading this letter, you might have a long list of responses and I’ll say thi Read more:Sunday
Stay in your lane by Elaine Davenport (Friday, June 8, 2007) 2007-06-06 19:04:00 Having a prayer life can change your life. It will help you to move closer to God. It's amazing how many believers do not have a prayer life; but clearly that's not my call, not for me to judge. See, we've all got to stay in our lane. If we get out of our lane, we get off the path of God's perfect will for us. That could cost us a lot including time.A dear friend had a clear mandate from God as to what she was called to do. At the time, I did as well. However, her mandate seemed stronger because she talked about it more, so before I knew it; I was on her path. It took me over a year to get back on my own path. This is for somebody. Who knows what I missed when I was on my friend's path and not my own?So today, I say to you all; appreciate and understand the path that others are on and if they don't know yet, pray for them. But as far as you are concerned; stay in your lane. IF you're completing an assignment where you are truly called by God; He'll make it easy for Read more:Elaine
