Faith requires action
Faith has corresponding action. Simply hearing the Word does not produce faith. I can believe what I hear, but faith in what I hear is produced when I take action based on what I believed. I can not say I don’t have enough faith. By saying saying that, what I’m really saying is I don’t … Continue reading Faith requires action
Walking In Divine Health
I believe I am meant to walk in divine health, but to get there and stay there, I cannot live with one foot in the Kingdom and one in the world. What I mean by this is I learned to trust God and not conventional medicine. I know not everyone would agree that it’s a … Continue reading Walking In Divine Health

My prayers for healing took time…
I believe that God wants everyone healed. Why? Because I don’t believe there is any sickness or illness in heaven. One of the first prayers I ever learned was the “Lords Prayer” as it is commonly called. Even in that prayer, which Jesus taught, states God’s will be done as it is in heaven. ““Therefore … Continue reading My prayers for healing took time…
The right type of faith
I used to be convinced that I didn’t have enough faith when my prayers weren’t answered, or at least answered the way I had hoped. Thankfully, I finally learned the truth, which was not easy to admit, that my real problem was a lack of trust. I realize now that I have enough faith. The … Continue reading The right type of faith
My favorite PSA
This is my new favorite tee. It’s such a cool reminder of who I am - and I love to share the truth it states to everyone I encounter by helping them in any way I can. Why? It’s what Jesus commanded us to do: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love … Continue reading My favorite PSA
Being makes the difference
As a kid I remember being able to walk to a church meeting on Sunday morning. It was in the middle of my neighborhood, so no one had to walk more than a block to get there. If I remember correctly, I don’t think the building could hold more than two hundred people shoulder to … Continue reading Being makes the difference
Monday is the new Friday
I believe I’ve been giving Mondays a bad rap. After a couple of days off I would look at a Mondays with disdain. Subsequently, most Mondays seemed long and hectic. Truth is, it was all attitude. My work load was no heavier on Monday than it was any other day of the week. When I … Continue reading Monday is the new Friday
Unplug, enjoy life
Entrance to Crabapple Park - Roswell, Ga One of favorite times with God is while walking in the park. I’m completely surrounded by life and I get totally energized. I typically spend most of my day in front of a computer. As often as I can, I take a walk during my lunch time and … Continue reading Unplug, enjoy life
The Church is not a government institution
I have to admit, initially I was shocked at the things I currently see in the media. The pure evil that comes out of mouths of people tells me just how dark their souls have become. This didn’t happen overnight - but occurred because we, as Christians, comprised on the truth of God’s word and … Continue reading The Church is not a government institution
Speaking the Truth is Love
I refuse to get caught up in this argument about how many genders there are. The word of God settles it. For those who refuse to believe the Bible, science also confirms that truth. I’m not being hateful in speaking the truth, which is what the world wants me to believe. I believe what Jesus … Continue reading Speaking the Truth is Love
Jesus is my only example
One of the best things I have done for myself in recent years is progressively filter and reduce the amount of social content I consume. Conversely, I intentionally look for and share content that tells me who I really am in Christ. Honestly, it’s absolutely the best thing you can do to get your flesh … Continue reading Jesus is my only example
Forget the past, you are a new creation
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”II Corinthians 5:17 NKJV The Word is very clear, when we receive Christ we become a new creation - practically a new species. Yes, it’s true you may not look different on the outside … Continue reading Forget the past, you are a new creation
We all have one purpose
We all have one purpose - to be conformed into the image of Jesus Christ. What does that mean? It means I do what my Father does. I hear and obey what my Father says. I see others the way my Father sees them. I make it my priority to be where my Father wants … Continue reading We all have one purpose
Relationship not Religion
Brothers and sisters we live in a time where the world tells us up is down and down is up - it just depends on your perspective. Relativism is the world’s religion. Feeding our “self-indulgent-nature” is how the world fills its pews. “Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs … Continue reading Relationship not Religion
You can’t live in the gray
How more productive would we be if we applied this principle more in our lives? I believe this not only applies when dealing with other people - but also being straight forward with ourselves. For some reason it seems that we like to live in the gray area where we can avoid confrontation of any … Continue reading You can’t live in the gray
Rich in the right currency
The sooner we realize it all belongs to God, the sooner we stop participating and facilitating the foolishness we Yea see in the world that’s propagandized by media. Deceit, anger, hate, and fear are the tools of the enemy - to play us like pawns. The goal is to fool you into believing and behaving … Continue reading Rich in the right currency
My daily prayer
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and sustain me with a willing spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and … Continue reading My daily prayer
Diversity is a gift, not an excuse for hate
God doesn’t make mistakes. We are diverse for a reason. Where you were born, the family you were born into, your sex, your gifts and talents are all things we use as an excuse for division. However, as His children we are called to work together for His glory. Jesus has a plan and purpose … Continue reading Diversity is a gift, not an excuse for hate
Satan’s Game
Conflict and confusion is the name of the game - play it at your own peril because “the fix” is in the world’s favor. We don’t have to play the game because Jesus Christ has already made us victorious. The church needs to stand unified against evil and pray according to the Word. I don’t … Continue reading Satan’s Game
This too will pass…
Daylight is coming... but at this hour you may feel anxious and alone. Evil loves the cover of darkness and being cloaked by confusion. You have far more questions than you have answers. The enemy thinks he has an advantage - but it’s okay that we can’t see in the dark. We walk by faith, … Continue reading This too will pass…
Surviving Covid Part 2
The next step I knew I had to take was to start the vitamin supplement protocol my wife was on. I required high dose of: Vitamin CVitamin DZinc My medical provider explained that Zinc would take out basically any virus, but you need Vitamin C and D to get it to your cells. I had … Continue reading Surviving Covid Part 2
Surviving Covid Part 1
I have to start by saying that I don’t know if I suffered from a variant or not. I can say that what I have experienced is nothing short of something demonic. In my entire life I have never experienced symptoms from a so called virus that I experienced with Covid. The first few days … Continue reading Surviving Covid Part 1
A Childhood Lesson
There is no shortage of crazy in the world right now. I found myself asking when did this get so far out of hand? The weirdest thing happened, I started thinking about when I first heard the child Bible song that goes “Be careful little eyes what you see....” I was just a kid then, … Continue reading A Childhood Lesson
Hate resolves nothing
“Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.” (1 Peter 4:8) “Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all transgressions.” (Proverbs 10:12) This may be some hard truth for some people, but if you have hate in your heart - that’s on you. There isn’t a … Continue reading Hate resolves nothing
Deal with the root
The Word was given to conquer sin, not as a bandaid to keep up appearances. Every problem you have or had in your life can be traced back to sin - whether the affect was indirect or direct. I hear “just comply with the guidelines” and things will get better. I got news for you … Continue reading Deal with the root
Healing starts with forgiveness
We’ve all been hurt to different degrees in the past. In a lot of cases the pain has faded, in others we choose press it down and live with it - and then there’s the pain that we choose to identify with. This pain can transform us and distort reality as we try to compensate … Continue reading Healing starts with forgiveness
What you have is greater
Are you successful? Before answering that question, think about the standard of measure you are using. Jesus was literally offered the kingdoms of world. How could He refuse? Jesus knew what He had - an intimate relationship with the Father which is far greater. Temporal thinking will keep you from realizing your full potential. Understand … Continue reading What you have is greater
Source of Peace
The world can’t offer you peace - nor does it really want to. The evil in this world however, will never stop promising and promoting a utopia that cost you your soul. In order to have peace, I found there’s two things I have to do daily: First, I acknowledge Jesus Christ is my source … Continue reading Source of Peace
Equality
Equality - I think it’s one of the most misused and abused words in our country today. There is no problem with the word equality itself, but the context in which it is used today often shuts down communication before it begins. The world wants you to believe it can be a utopia of equal … Continue reading Equality
Trust in the Lord
In a crisis we immediately go to what we know - based on what experience has taught us that works, or what has been drilled into us to become reflex. My experience in the military as Navy medic is a great example. I received training to take specific actions after a quick assessment without second … Continue reading Trust in the Lord
Crush Anxiety
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” (Philippians 4:6) God knows what you are going through, and He has the solutions we are seeking - we only need to ask. Truth is, what I just stated isn’t news to most of … Continue reading Crush Anxiety
Real Freedom
There’s a lot of talk about modern slavery, inequality, and now reparations to fix the injustice. I want share my heart... First of all, we can’t correct the past - even if we could time travel, we still wouldn’t get it right. That’s why we needed a savior. Which brings up the next and main … Continue reading Real Freedom
Window to your soul
You have heard that “the eyes are the windows to your soul.” There’s a lot of truth to that - and world spares no expense to break through. Commercials and billboards are child’s play compared to our now smart-phone tech savvy society. One could say that we are laser targeted, coerced, and even brain washed … Continue reading Window to your soul
Accountability
We should not fear holding one another accountable. Speaking truth in love can hurt sometimes, but it should be done in such a way that it leads to repentance - not anger. Forgiveness goes hand in hand with the rebuke because our desire should be restoration rather than separation. I do wonder sometimes if we … Continue reading Accountability
Blessed
We all long to see the craziness in this world to be restored. But we can’t be short sighted. Jesus calls us blessed or “fortunate” because of our inheritance - restoration is guaranteed! Jesus also taught us to pray; “Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10) … Continue reading Blessed
Root of conflict
How do I deal with conflict? I take the time to get to know people. You want to get to know me? Hi, my name is Alexis Perry. My friends call me Lex so please do. I base and maintain relationships on the principles and precepts taught by Jesus Christ. In other words, we don’t … Continue reading Root of conflict
Housekeeping
Accountability is a two way street. Being a true friend that speaks life into a brother or sister’s bad situation is a tremendous blessing - but let’s face it, we all need to spend some time in our own backyard. Otherwise we lose credibility and influence - no matter how much truth you speak. Jesus … Continue reading Housekeeping
Is it important or just a distraction?
At this stage in my life, my kids are adults and I’m prayerfully a little wiser, God put two things on my heart - be intentional and keep balance. I found I have to be “present” in everything I do, which is so much easier said than done. The world makes avoiding distractions somehow appear … Continue reading Is it important or just a distraction?
Dying to self
Christ in me… Imagine if we truly take a hold of that truth - everyday the moment we wake up. What would be the impact in our home, the Church, our communities? “Dying to self” is a phrase many of us are familiar with, but can’t allow it to become “christianese”. This is step one … Continue reading Dying to self
Condemnation Without Application
I have often quoted “There is no condemnation in Christ…” to encourage myself and others. Hearing that there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus always made me feel better. However, I came to understand that walking in the Spirit is what changed my situation and transformed my life. In other words, I focused on applying … Continue reading Condemnation Without Application
Hand up, not a hand out
Christian or follower of Jesus Christ? You would think they are one in the same, but I beg to differ. Jesus asked us this question... “Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?” (Luke 6:46). Simple question, but considering the state of the church in America, it’s an extremely … Continue reading Hand up, not a hand out
Quick to hold your tongue
I was raised old school. Talking back to an elder or speaking out of turn was unacceptable. The advise my elders would give is; “Don’t let your mouth write a check your butt can’t cash.” In other words, don’t allow disrespectful rhetoric that you can’t back up come out of your mouth - the consequences … Continue reading Quick to hold your tongue
Gaslight
“For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted; and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.” (1 Corinthians 14:31-33) Church, you are being “gaslighted”. If … Continue reading Gaslight
Peace of God
God gives us peace that surpasses understanding. In those times - especially after deep diving into the Word, I can see the world with different eyes. I can see how He is working and the chaos around me doesn’t matter. The world has an agenda, and that is to anchor you to temporal things. The … Continue reading Peace of God
What God allows…
What God has allowed to to touch our lives to get our attention can not be legislated away. Our problems didn’t come from God, but He has turned us over to our own desires. “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in … Continue reading What God allows…
Pump the breaks
Walking with Jesus changes your perspective - He helps you view the world as it shall be. I ask Jesus to help me see things from an eternal perspective right now. I believe that’s what taking time to “smell the roses” is about. The best things in life are the little things that take time … Continue reading Pump the breaks
Culture
Culture has been used as a reason to divide us, when in fact it should be one of the wonderful things that draw us together. Culture doesn’t make us different from one another - it’s an outward expression of our adaptability, creativity, and imagination. Under the layers of color and traditions we are one people … Continue reading Culture
All Lives Matter
We can’t change the past, nor can we live in it. Racism still exist where we perpetuate it - it’s taught to our children, used as a political tool, and is an excuse to blame shift for irresponsibility. Race and culture are not the same. Race is no more than a category box meant to … Continue reading All Lives Matter
