Thank you so much for your support. You are a vessel.  You are appreciated. R and K
 
Keep up the great kingdom work!  Bishop Johnny J. Young, Ph.D. Chief Apostle / Senior Presiding Prelate / CEO

Hello Dr. Lewis, Yes, I "Call Him" on a daily basis.  There is "no other help do I know."  Thanks for the reminder.  Have a blessed day. Y B
 
Hello Dr. Lewis: Woman of God:----You are certainly a Woman of God who loves to do God's work.  When we do God's work we truly honor Him!  I was blessed by your message, which asks us to call on Him!  Dr. Lewis, there is nothing like the Word of our Almighty God.  Thank you also for the story of the beautiful young lady, Kiana, who will be undergoing surgery to correct her "smile."  I pray that God will bless and guide the hands, mind, and thoughts of her doctors, and that the surgery will be very successful in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!  Amen  God bless you. C O K 

 
Hi Dr. Lewis, your e mail site is so informative, interesting, and colorful. R K 
 

Dear Dr. Lewis,   What a great word from the Lord!  I like that part about Him knowing the root of our inward self,  there is nothing we can share with Him that He does not already know and the best thing about it is He can do something about it!  What a great God we serve!  Thanks again for sharing the word-- it always blesses me!  V L   Much Love 
 
Dear Dr. Lewis, I was so surprized to see you on my computer screen. You are such a busy lady. I really don't know what holds you up,and keep you going, that's not true! I know it has to be the Lord. May the Lord continue to bless you, I remain Your Brother in Christ- H R

Greetings!

P.      E .     A .     C.      E.
 

Life is filled with so many different challenges! Unfortunately, it is common to have to focus and deal with several issues at the same time.
  
 
Just to name a few: health issues, family problems, death of loved ones, relationship challenges, hard-headed children and unfaithful spouses. 
 
image angry man
 
Let's not forget financial challenges along with school issues and oh yes, employment and housing concerns.
 
One could find him or herself almost losing their mind just trying to find solutions and remedies for all of their challenges.     image peace stop the wall          While challenges are going to continue to be with us on this side of Glory; we can YET have PEACE in the midst of the challenges.

P.E.A.C.E---       Placing Emphasis and
 
Confidence Every-time  in God!
    
 
Placing means that the Placer has the control of what, where and with whom "it" will be placed.  So individually, we must decide to place our concerns, challenges and cares in the
Hand of Daddy-God.
                                  image hands in God's hands
 
 
Emphasis- special stress laid upon, or the importance attached to it.
 
Confidence implies full trust, belief in the powers, trustworthiness and the reliability of God.
 
Every-time means just that: each time.
 
In order to have peace we must bring our concerns to Jesus with the full assurance that He is going to direct us for our good each and every time.

Jesus is yet saying for us today what He said hundreds of years ago for His Disciples in Mark 4:39-- And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 
 
But Jesus is also asking us the same question today as He asked His Disciples hundreds of years ago in v. 40-- And He said unto them, "Why are ye so fearful? How is it that
 
ye have no faith?"     image why question mark and word   NLT- And he asked them, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still not have faith in me?"

P     E     A     C     E  
 
Having faith in Jesus means that we will proclaim the following verses:       image men yelling at each other
 
 
Psalm 4:8- I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
 
Psalm 29:11- The LORD will give strength unto His people; the LORD will bless His people with peace.
 
Psalm 37:11- But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
 
Psalm 119:165- Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
 
Proverbs 16:7- When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him, and
 
Isaiah 26:3- Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]: because he trusteth in thee.
 
Want     P.   E.   A.   C.   E?     image question mark bunches with colors
 
 
Then do 1 Peter 5:7- Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. NLT- Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about what happens to you.
 
Instead of worrying, live a Christ-like and Christ-Filled life; be loving, kind, concerned about others and not worry about your cares or desires; for Daddy-God loves and "got" YOU!
 
Busy yourself working His will as He offers you your Peace! Choose to have PEACE

                                       The Scarf
 
Wow----The Concept of One Faith Fellowship at work between the 2 ladies--from different churches and denominations---but the same Lord.  Share the moment: with Sister A and Sister B.
 
Sister A- Please tell the beautiful Sister that gave me the scarf that I will be wearing it much and always remembering the love with which she gave it to me. Tell her that she "messed me up" when she did that because I felt it come straight from her heart. That's Christian love.
 
Sister B--I've had the scarf for months and tried to wear it on numerous occasions, but never did, until Sat.  Although I love it, I now know it wasn't for me.  I am honored that you would appreciate such a simple gift.  You are a beautiful woman of God and I look forward to hearing you minister again.
 
As I listened to you ministering with the scarf I thought how perfect it looked on you and as I continued listening I started thinking "you need to let her keep the scarf."  I keep saying "I" but it was the Holy Spirit because as you walked towards me the feeling was stronger than ever and I knew there was no way I could leave and take YOUR scarf with me. 
 
Your message blessed my spirit tremendously, it was definitely lead by the Holy Spirit because every word out of your mouth ministered to me - from your statement about coming out on a Saturday to your job testimony and being bold in the Lord....."We have not because we ask not."
 
Sister A--Thank you. Your message has blessed me richly just like your scarf. I must share this with you too. As I approached you Saturday to return your scarf I also felt the presence of the Holy Spirit very strongly. Not only that,  as I removed the scarf from my shoulders I could hear the Holy Spirit saying "anointed, anointed". It was so strong that I didn't want to take the scarf off.
 
As I handed it to you I wanted to say to you "this scarf has been  anointed" but I didn't think you would understand. But when you gave it back to me I knew without a doubt that you understood. God was doing a mighty work in that room on Saturday and I am just glad that we were open to hear and receive. Please know that your scarf is now my prayer shawl and my worship shawl. It was  anointed and I receive it as I draped my head and shoulders  with it on Saturday. 
 
Isn't God just AMAZING. I LOVE HIM SO BECAUSE HE IS CONSTANTLY TEACHING MORE AND MORE ABOUT HIM AND CONSTANTLY TAKING ME TO ANOTHER LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE WITH HIM. Thank you my Sister for obeying the Holy Spirit and for blessing me.
 
Sister B--Dear Sister,  God is truly amazing!  Your words are a confirmation for what I was feeling Saturday.
Dr. Lewis,
Thank you for passing on the message.  
And THANK YOU for inviting such a powerful Woman of God to speak to us.
