Making The Right Decisions To Get The Wealth

I've heard many say, "favor ain't fair" and that is absolutely true as it relates to God and the way he blesses his people. He has already determined that we should and would be blessed (Deut. 28). That blessing is Spiritual, Emotional, Social, Financial, and Physical. Don't let any thing or anyone, hinder you from the Blessing that maketh rich. We are always to pray and never faint, being aware of the methods of our enemy-- He comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10).
The word of God brings the blessing that makes rich. We are at an unparalleled time in our country. If the people of God do nothing else, stop looking at the news as the only story, and begin to look under the story, for the Blessing that maketh rich. We should as a people (God's People) remember 2 Cor. 10:5 Casting down imaginations (reasoning's) and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; (and what God is about) and begin to look for the doors, windows, and cracks whereby God is sending His blessing to His people.
The headlines are a road map that should be showing you the way. Joyce Meyer's once taught a lesson that comes to mind now-- "We live in a upside down kingdom". "Our world" doesn't function like "the" world. What they say is wrong, is usually right (that's why we get many "opinions" on what we are instructed by God to do. ) It will always seem out of place by the worlds standards. When you look at the news I want you to "repent" I don't mean stop watching, but I want you to do the opposite, make a 180 turn and do the opposite, it they say "sell" we need to "buy", if the world says things are bad, know (beyond a shadow of a doubt) that they are good, so good in fact that your entire life can be changed in a moment of time. Remember God sends "His People" the blessing that makes rich and he adds no sorrow to it.

This is my Testimony
Pastor Deborah Covington
My Testimony - In Part
Have you ever had times that you didn't know where you belong? Times you questioned your own worth and why you were even here in the first place? Stripped of all self-esteem, and trust, zest for life. Oh the bitterness, the anger, the rage in some instances, pain, and yes, hatred. These are but a few of the emotions I am too familiar with. No, I am not a licensed Psychologist, I am just one that has learned all I know from life experience, not from books, and want to share that with you, in the hopes of encouraging and bringing just a little of Gods light into those dark and scary places.
This is my testimony to the power and unfailing love of God. Some may think this to be somewhat tasteless, but it is also reality, which is something we tend to forget after coming to Christ, we need to remember where we come from, in order to help others get where they are going.
At your darkest point, when you feel the most alone, God will show up and show off on your behalf if you will but cling to his hand, Glory to God! I had a wonderful childhood, unlike many, yet mine ended at age 17. At this point in time, we had decided to move away. South Texas was home to me many years, all my friends, my boyfriend, my home, my room, my school, everything familiar to me in my life, I felt it was being ripped away...It really hurt me. I tried to talk to my family, but I wasn’t heard...they didn't really "hear" me. Please, always listen to your kid’s there are times they need considered too, do you know what its like to desperately need someone to really hear you, but they won’t? When we got to Louisiana, my whole world went crazy! Within our first year there we lost 2 homes to fire. Work couldn’t be found.
I didn't even have my family like before, that too was ripped away, I felt. I tired to help just like I always had, trying to keep what little relationship we had together, in my eyes anyway. You see up until the point of moving, we had always been very close, so I couldn't understand why this change all of a sudden, and it hurt me deeply.
Little did I know this was just the start of many a nightmare. I will be condensing a lot of this as there are many years to cover.. truly this has been a journey with God; for without him I would not be here. At 17 I was allowed to date a gentleman of age 22, just back from Vietnam; I thought it was wonderful, well it wasn’t, I was date raped resulting in pregnancy of my oldest son.
Beware young people, what’s outside doesn’t necessarily reflect the motives inside.
He picked me up about 7:00 to go to the fair, by 9:00 we were leaving , and he stopped by this bar, that was on the way, he wanted a cold beer to take with him, he told me to wait in the car, you are under age, I will bring you a pop back. I waited; he brought me a coke to drink in a to go cup, I drank it down. We pulled off, pulled up to a light about 3 blocks up, and folks I passed out, completely. I remember nothing, even to this day it is just a blank space. Could this be the mercy of God protecting me from more hurt? Oh yes, indeed.
This is the hard part for me to re-live, so please bear with me. When I came to, I was lying in a strange bed, with nothing but a sheet covering me. I screamed, from the fear and humiliation of being violated in such a way, and he says to me. Shhhh, it’s ok, really its ok, I have a cab on the way and I will ride with you, to make sure you get in the house ok" How cold and sick can a person be?
