God has for you is for you

Have you ever gone to

work, do your job, and

mind your own business,

and find out that someone

was discussing you for no

reason? Is it Jealousy?

What is Jealousy? The

dictionary says it is “a secon-

dary emotion and typically

refers to negative thoughts,

feelings of insecurity, fear,

and anxiety, an anticipated

loss of something that a per-

son values, particularly in

reference to a human connec-

tion.” This “green-eyed” mon-

ster, as it is commonly re-

ferred to,

often rears its

ugly head

and causes problems in many

situations.

I tend to believe that your

faith and trust in God will

overcome your fears of anxi-

ety and mistrust. Christians

Happy Thanksgiving! Thank God for your many Blessings!

Truth, Commitment, and Purpose are three facets needed for our personal growth.

We should live our lives in Truth, being honest, and loyal with the ones we love.

Commitment represents attachment and responsibility to situations and people.

The Purpose or plan for our lives was designed prior to our existence.

It represents our destiny, God’s reason for placing us on this earth.

These three facets are an integral part of our being — making our lives com-plex, yet doable.

Life cannot be life without being true to ourselves, committed to God and oth-ers, coupled with the desire and motivation to fulfill God’s purpose in our lives.

How Do I Get into Heaven?

A teacher asked the children in her Sunday School class, "If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale

and gave all my money to the church, would I get into heaven?" "NO!" the children all answered.

"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard, and kept everything neat and tidy, would I get into heaven?"

Again, the answer was "NO!"

"Well," she continued, "then how can I get to heaven?" In the back of the room, a five-year-old boy shouted out,

"You gotta be dead!"

Prayer for October/November Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank you right now for all you have done in our lives! Thank you, most of all for your Dear Son, Jesus the Christ, who sacrificed His life so we can live. Help us Father to under-stand that there are seasons in life and that noth-ing remains the same. According to Ecclesias-tes 3:1, “To every thing there is a season, and a time for every purpose under the heaven…” So, as we move through the different seasons in our life help us to keep our faith and not only praise you when things are going well, but also praise when we feel things are not going our way.

Help us to do this remembering what Jeremiah 29 :11 says “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” So, help us Father to enjoy the jour-ney called life knowing that through it all, you said you would never leave us, nor forsake us. We thank you Father for being the author and finisher of our faith.

We love you! In Jesus name we ask all these things; Amen!

Young men in the past and even

hormones are raging and they do not

The young men do not know that it can

need to remain celibate until they are

married.

These desires cause tremendous is-

The young men are teased by their so-

called friends, if they are not active, so

they lie about it. They put pressure on

their girlfriends or any girl to have rela-

they love them or are in love with them.

Victory in Jesus’ name!

Since the young men do not know

that they should have control over their

desires, the young girl get tired of being

pressured by the young man and she

gives in to his harassment and begging.

The key is “I love you”. The young men

know that once they say that to the

young girls, it makes it easier for the

young girls to submit because the young

girls want to feel loved. The problem is

that young men do not mean it. It is only

to satisfy his desires at that time and

after the encounter is over, the young

girl is history and she is called demean-

ing names.

Once the young girl has given into

his advances, she is impregnated after

having relations for the first time in se-

cret. (Mark 4:22). The young man

immediately says that it is not his and

that she is a whore. He knows that is not

the truth. He does not want the responsi-

bility of being a father. He will say

things like “I'm too young to be a father”

or “I have my future to think about.”

What about the young girl? What about

her future? What about the responsibility

of being of mother by herself?

Her life has been changed forever. In

some cases, the young girl is in a state of

confusion, anger, loneliness, and fear,

and some do not recover from that trau-

matic experience. It also puts undue

strain on the family. Sometimes the par-

ents put the daughter out of their homes

to fend for herself and the baby.

REVELATION

As I was trying to decide

what topic to discuss in this

month's issue of The Visionary

Good News Gazette, it became

clear to me that we as Christian

brothers and sisters need to

really focus on letting go of an-

ger and bitterness against one

another. The Christian commu-

nity is supposed to be about

sharing the love of Christ with

others in our day-to-day lives.

Unfortunately, that love isn't

always visible to others who

may not understand the things

of God. Many times, those who

may have considered possibly

attending church or even be-

coming a Christian, are jaded by

what they see “true” Christians do-

ing. Believe it or not, your anger

does indeed affect those around you.

The root of anger can often be cor-

related with unforgiveness. God

commands us to LOVE one an-

other...and if we say that we love

Him, we are to keep His command-

ments. Therefore, when we practice

unforgiveness and harbor anger and

bitterness in our hearts, we are dis-

obeying God, and not displaying our

love for Him. A clear example of

this is when we choose to remain

angry at those who are close to us,

whether in proximity or relation-

ship. 1 John 4:20-21 tells us that we

should be loving toward our

neighbors if we are to call ourselves

lovers of God and that if we are

not loving toward them, then we

are LIARS. Of course, no one

wants to be dubbed a liar, but this

is why it's important to be who

God has commanded us to be.

James 1:22 says it best “Do not

merely listen to the word, and so

deceive yourselves. Do what it

says.” (NIV) We must remember

that this life is NOT about our

own agendas, it's NOT about what

we want or even our own comfort,

but about glorifying Christ in eve-

rything that we do to the best our

ability.

God Bless!

Inspirational Message — True Christians

Something To Ponder cont. from p.4 Young Men and their Desires such a young age. Children

are for married women and

their husbands, not for teen

parents. It takes two parents

to raise a child and a village.

Well, let me try to explain

the love that young men are

talking about. The “love”

they're talking about is a su-

perficial love, love of the

flesh only. This is the world's

way to love and not a love

from the heart. It is used to

get their needs met as well as

anything else they may want,

but what the young woman

should be looking for is love

from the heart, the uncondi-

tional love that only comes

from God. (Ephesians 5:25,

5:28; 1 Corinthians 5:9; 1

Corinthians 5:13).

I conclude that if the young

man was made to be as re-

sponsible as the young girl

and perhaps married her,

maybe there would not be so

many fatherless, homeless,

Volume 1, Issue 9

Unfortunately, the young

man has moved on to an-

other victim. More and more

babies are being born out of

wedlock and the young men

are still not taking responsi-

bility for their actions.

Sometimes the young man’s

parents blame the girl and

say that she is a whore, but

the parents were not there

when their son was begging

and pleading and professing

his love for the girl. The

responsibility should be

shared equally.

I think the parents, or

whoever is raising the boy,

should talk to him about

being celibate and suggest

other places to focus his

energy, such as sports, act-

ing, even being an inventor,

anything to help them in the

future so that their lives and

the lives of the young girl

won't be disrupted by having

children responsibilities at

and foster children in the

world who are looking for

love from all the wrong

people. The young girl

needs to know who she is

in Christ and that her body

is the temple of the Holy

Ghost. She must know that

the love she is looking for

comes from God, the truly

unconditional love.

Well, that was then, and that

was prior to becoming a be-

liever and realizing the love of

Jesus Christ! Jeremiah 1:5

states“Before I formed you in

the womb, I knew you; Before

you were born I sanctified

you.” Those are the words

from our Father in Heaven.

When I became a believer, I

finally realized how loved I

pose and call-

instantly when

I became a

believer that I

was being

enrolled into a

Bible college.

Here I was

again attempt-

ing college.

Only this time,

I was a child of

God. Not to

mention a mar-

ried mother of

three, at the

time, and fac-

ing a financial

disaster, but I

enrolled into

Bible college any way. My

husband and I went through

very bad financial problems

and an unplanned pregnancy,

but I never stopped going to

school. I had finally realized

my gifts and my calling and I

knew nothing could stop

God’s plan if I continued to

have faith.

What is your calling?

Maybe you think the way I

once thought and feel you

have no purpose, or maybe

you think your situation is too

big and too deep to even think

about following your dreams.

If it is God’s calling on your

life nothing can stop it. What

were your dreams as a child?

We often allow our surround-

ings to influence our dreams.

We tend to look at others and

think we want the same. But I

always say, as a 10 year-old

what did you dream about? As

a child, I remember being a

writer. I was the neighborhood

writer, producer and director. I

was always putting on a pro-

ductions. I

was always

writing a

play, or a

story or a

screenplay.

But not

knowing

God, I didn’t

realize that

was a gift

He gave me.

Think back

to your

childhood

and pull up

those hidden

talents.

God ex-

pects us to

use what He

gave us.

Matthew

25:29 states “For to everyone

who has, more will be given

and he will have abundance.”

This section in the Bible is

speaking of talents we are given

from God and we are to use

them. It doesn’t matter where

your life is right now. It’s not

too late. You’re not too old; too

young and your situation is not

too big. When you bring it to

Jesus and ask Him to help you,

you will slowly, but surely,

realize your dreams coming

true. It is a process that takes

hard work from you. It won’t

happen overnight. You have to

I know at one point I asked

myself that question many

times. I looked at the people

around me and became very

envious because they seemed to

be very successful. I always felt

sorry for myself and was angry

all the time because I couldn’t

see the gifts I had. Every day I

had a new idea, or a new busi-

ness venture. Even though I

couldn’t see my gifts I felt

there had to be some hidden

away. No one around me gave

positive feedback about my

gifts so therefore I simply con-

cluded I had no gifts and I was

never going to be successful as

an individual.

After high-school I tried going

to college five different times

for five different subjects. I

went for accounting, radio

broadcasting, telecommunica-

tions, business marketing, and

child development. Each time

was based on a spur of the mo-

ment thought to work in that

field. I never made it past one

semester. I tried selling cosmet-

ics a few times. Each time the

person training me seemed so

confident and successful and I

figured if they could do it why

not me? I lasted no more than

two months. Let’s not forget

the many, many business ideas

I came up with. I was going to

start a daycare center, sell real-

estate, make t-shirts, do scrap-

booking, start a non-profit or-

ganization, medical billing and

catering. I can go on and on

with many more. None of these

ideas ever took off. There was

a pattern in each of these situa-

tions and I came up with a con-

clusion about myself. I con-

cluded that I was a person who

couldn’t finish what I started. I

had no confidence or belief in

myself. I was convinced I was

here on earth for no special


be patient and trust that God

is doing work inside you at

the same time. One of my

husband’s absolute dreams

was to be a football coach.

That’s all he ever talked

about. He said as a child he

wanted to play football more

than anything, but never had

the opportunity. He loves

watching football. In 2009,

he hesitantly went to the

coaching staff at our son’s

new high-school and asked if

they had any positions, and

they did. He was offered a

volunteer position as an assis-

tant on the JV football team.

He was on cloud nine. He

knew that was the beginning,

and he knew that if he stayed

patient God would continue

to move him further and fur-

ther as he continues to learn

and grow.

Don’t wait for the perfect

moment to start living your

dream, because today is the

perfect moment. God wants

you to believe in Him and

realize the potential He has

given you. He wants you to

ask Him to help you and trust

in Him as He moves you in

the direction of your calling.

You are going to be told

by others to stop dreaming, or

don’t waste your time, but

God doesn’t waste anything.

You do have a destiny, and

your destiny will be fulfilled

with continued faith. Your

dream is going to come true!

One day this article will be

written by you to inspire oth-

ers. Never give up on Jesus

as he will never give up on

you!

Anger The most common problem people face on a daily basis is

not being able to control their anger. There are so many ways to

explain anger, but the most important things we should know

about anger is to not allow it to affect us in a way that could hurt

our walk with God. It has always been easy to get angry, but one

man went through some of the most horrific things a person can go through, but he never stop

believing that God would see him through.

Job, a man of great wealth, had thousands of cows and sheep and hundreds of oxen and

donkeys. He also had ten children. Job was more than just a rich man, but a good man who

pleased God. Job was put through numerous trials by Satan, but God did not allow Satan to

kill Job. He had lost all his animals, his wealth, and all his children, but no matter what, Job

never cursed God. As a result, God blessed him abundantly by giving him more animals and

wealth. In fact, he was blessed with more children.

The point of telling this story is so that we always remember to not be quick to anger.

Job lost everything, but he kept the faith and hung on. God saw his faith and He blessed and

restored him. In Proverbs 14:29, the Bible says,“ Whoever is slow to anger has great under-

standing, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.” Sister BJ

nor stand in the way of sinners,

On his law he meditates day and night.

whose leaf also does not wither.

Whatever he does shall prosper.

God desires for all of us to be saved. It is not His desire that any should perish. Nevertheless, He also gave us free

will. Our Father desires us to make the decision of following Him or not.

Have you made that decision? When you take your last breath, where will you spend eternity? Will it be Heaven or

hell? The end result will be based upon the choice you made!

It is my hope that you choose to follow God. If you make that choice today, you have to acknowledge that you are a

sinner. Then you must repent of your sins.

Salvation! Is this your Eternal Goal?

“Where there is no vision, the

people perish . . .”

Proverbs 29:18

Sharing the “Word of God” and letting

His light shine before men is an essen-

tial part of this ministry. Visionary

Christian Ministries through the pro-

duction of this monthly newsletter de-

sires to reach ALL people, saved and

unsaved!

The “Word of God” is not a secret

for Christians, it is the road map that

God ordained for ALL people. Shar-

ing, encouraging, laughing, praying,

and most of all, loving one another is a

must for this ministry.

We hope that God’s eternal love

seeps through to the reader as they

read and enjoy this newsletter.

Remember, your future cannot change

for the better without Christ!

God Bless You!

You must acknowledge that you believe that Jesus is the Son of God who died on the cross for you. It is as simple as

that! God hears you and God Saves you! If you have not made that decision today, please make it soon. Tomorrow is

not promised to you and waiting until later, may be too late! Eternity is too long to be without God!

Scriptures for Salvation

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on

his name.

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to

him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteous-

ness.
