51. Be The Change You Want to See

Be the change you want to see by helping one person at a time.  Positive change begins with one person. One person deciding to step up, help others and advocate for something better. Be that person. James 2:14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. 5 Ways to Assist Spiritually 7 Ways to Assist Practically 4 Ways to Get Engaged at Your Child's School 5 Ways to Advocate for Change Politically Visit https://www.kimberlymjames.com and https://www.blwc21.com/mentoring

Prayer for Our Country & Holy Boldness

Lord, we need you like never before. I was the guest intercessor for the MelJackPrays Prayer Call this morning. Join us as we pray for us believers to become the chan we hope to see. No more shall we stand on the sidelines watching the world perish. Acts 4: Prayer for Courage and Boldness "And being let go, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: "Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them, who by the mouth of Your servant David have said: 'Why did the nations rage, And the people plot vain things? The kings of the earth took their stand, And the rulers were gathered together Against the Lord and against His Christ.' "For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done. Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus." And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness." ‭‭Acts‬ ‭4:23-31‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Visit https://www.kimberlymjames.com and https://www.blwc21.com/mentoring Timestamps: 00:00 Melissa's Introduction 02:26 Kimberly's Introduction: Contact Information 03:46 Worship and Prayer 15:45 Prayer for Salvation: Give Your Life to Christ 16:30 Closing Remarks 17:04 Worship Song

Testimony: God Did It! $122,100.27 of Debt Forgiven

Listen, Ya'll!!!!! I got a testimony deep in my soul!  Today I found out $122,100.27 in student loans have been forgiven.   God is still taking care of his children! There is nothing my God can not do! PERIODT!  On January 14, 2020, I prayed. I said, Lord, you say in Deuteronomy 15 that debt should be canceled after seven years. I've been paying on my student loans longer than that, 14 years to be exact. Father asked that you release me from both AES and myFedloan balance of $111,000. Father, your word says I will be the lender, not the borrower. So I asked today For financial release by the end of January 2020 that I will have the finances free to fund the kingdom as you see fit. Y'all, God did it. I was paying over $800 a month with no end in sight. My God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. If this isn't proof enough to pray, I don't know what it is. Forward to a friend that needs to be encouraged, who has been waiting on God to answer their prayers.
