Love
1 John 4:7-10(TMSG)
7My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God.
8The person who refuses to love doesn’t know the first thing about God, because God is love—so you can’t know him if you don’t love.
9This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him.
10This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they’ve done to our relationship with God.
On this day that such a terrible thing happened ten years ago, let us not forget that Love is what our lives are all about. Take time today and repair the breech that life has created between you and God, then repair the one between you and others. This way you can be effective in showing His love to others on this day that we remember as such a tragic day. Now is the day and now is the hour for God's Love to rule through out the earth.
Be a Blessing , Sir Gregory

Daily Vitamin - "Body"
Body
1 Corinthians 9:24-27(CEV)
24You know that many runners enter a race, and only one of them wins the prize. So run to win!
25 Athletes work hard to win a crown that cannot last, but we do it for a crown that will last forever.
26I don’t run without a goal. And I don’t box by beating my fists in the air.
27I keep my body under control and make it my slave, so I won’t lose out after telling the good news to others.
Today realize you are a spiritual being, take control of your fleshly desires and spend time with the inner you. be a blessing, Sir Gregory

27I keep my body under control and make it my slave, so I won’t lose out after telling the good news to others.
In verse 27 Paul says I keep my body under control, he didn't say i keep me under control! That's because he was not his body, just like we are not our body. We are spiritual beings living in a temporary shelter. It's time we really get this, I mean really get this, maybe I should say it again really get this. If we were going to compete in any competition whether that be a race or a debate, we would take time to either train or study the subject. so why don't we take the time and study or get to know the one or ones we will spend eternity with. We will spend millions of dollars on our looks but won't take the time to learn about ourselves let alone about Jesus! It should not be! I'm not saying we shouldn't take care of our shelter but lets work on the inside also!
Today realize you are a spiritual being, take control of your fleshly desires and spend time with the inner you. be a blessing, Sir Gregory

Daily Vitamin - "Flesh"
Flesh
Romans 8:5-6(NKJV)
5For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
6For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
1 Thessalonians 5:23-24(TMSG)
23May God Himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together—spirit, soul, and body—and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ.
24The One who called you is completely dependable. If he said it, He’ll do it!
If we could ever really get it that we are spirit beings more than flesh. I tend to think of us as a caterpillar.We live for a time in a flesh cocoon just for a season the bulk of our being will live in a spirit realm. So why do we rely on our feelings so much? Do we believe that God will do what He says he will do? I think most of the time we don't. He (God) created all of this, so couldn't he take care of us? He made us to be like Him. Lets take time to learn what that is. We studied last night that its not about the answer but about the question. Who is God to you today not tomorrow or yesterday but today. once we can focus there maybe we truly can walk and live by the Spirit and not the flesh.

Daily Vitamin - "Blessed"
Blessed
Ephesians 1:3(NLT)
3All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ.
When we read this do we just read it and saw oh! how nice, or do we read it like it is. Who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing. That is a past tense statement it has already happened. So why are we always asking for this gift or that gift? Do we believe it or just hope that Jesus saved us? We believe it right! Then why don't we believe He has already given us every spiritual gift. It is like we have a table full of presents that are ours but we never open them. we would never do that, but when it comes to the things of God we step back and don't really believe. Use the Faith you have been given to believe you are saved with and start to believe all the gifts are yours.
Step up to the table today and unpack all the gifts. So you may be a bigger blessing to those around you, Sir Gregory

Daily Vitamin - "Stood"
Stood
2 Timothy 4:16-18(NKJV)
16At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be charged against them.
17But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
18And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!
2 Timothy 4:16-18(TMSG)
16At my preliminary hearing no one stood by me. They all ran like scared rabbits. But it doesn’t matter—
17the Master stood by me and helped me spread the Message loud and clear to those who had never heard it. I was snatched from the jaws of the lion!
18God’s looking after me, keeping me safe in the kingdom of heaven. All praise to Him, praise forever! Oh, yes!

Ever felt alone in what your doing? Like all those that said they were with you, forgot what they they told you! All through the scriptures this seemed to happen. All left Jesus several times, now we see all left Paul. The interesing thing is that both made a statement. that it may not be held against them.
Jesus used the words Forgive them for they don't know what they are doing. Can we forget that others promise to go with us, then when things seem to get or get tough they walk or run away. then when all is good they seem to show back up! Jesus said He will never leave us nor forsake us. When things are tough and no one is standing with you,remeber those words that He will never leave you, and that He will stick closer than a brother to you.
Remember as a believer Christ is always there! Be a blessing today, Sir Gregory

Daily Vitamin - 'Walked"
Walked
Genesis 5:24(TMSG)
24Enoch walked steadily with God. And then one day he was simply gone: God took him.
Genesis 6:9(TMSG)
9This is the story of Noah: Noah was a good man, a man of integrity in his community. Noah walked with God.
We know that Adam & Eve also walked with God, and many more are mentioned throughout the Bible.We even have song written about walking with God. How many of us have really given it much thought? We ask people in our Christianize (is that really a word) hows your walk with Christ going. do we even get it? Enoch walked and was no more, Noah walked with God and saved the human race. So how can we really understand what a walk with God would be like or even look like? I believe a walk with God would be with Him on our minds continually. That at any minute of the day his name or a thought would be right there in every thing we do. There is so many more examples thought the scriptures of those who walked with God. it would take days to talk about.
Today make an effort to take a walk with Daddy God. and be a blessing Sir Gregory

Daily Vitamin - "Word"
Word
Colossians 3:15-17(TMSG)
15Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. None of this going off and doing your own thing. And cultivate thankfulness.
16Let the Word of Christ—the Message—have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives. Instruct and direct one another using good common sense. And sing, sing your hearts out to God!
17Let every detail in your lives—words, actions, whatever—be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way.
Do we let the word/s of Christ dwell in us, to make rooms in our lives? a lot of times we say we believe something but our actions tell a different story. If we really believe the word we do as James 1:22 says"Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you are a listener when you are anything but, letting the Word go in one ear and out the other. Act on what you hear! or in the NKJV " But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves"
Let us take to heart the word of God today and not just say we believe. Act on his word today and be a blessing,Sir Gregory
Something worth reading
Excerpted from The Thorn in the Flesh (Charisma House, 2004). By RT Kendall
When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives, or your rich neighbors. ... invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous. —Luke 14:12-14
I would think that a great sign of God's approval and anointing on any church is to see it filled with people with all kinds of handicaps, whether deaf, blind, or in wheelchairs. The reason is because such people obviously feel welcome. The word gets out that this church wants—and needs—the disabled. They know they will be treated with dignity and respect. People everywhere want to spend time with them; they will come and talk to them!
Do you do that at your church? Or do you hurry to be with the people you already know? God wants His church to include everybody. It's not just pain, difficulty, or the inconvenience; the real problem is the way disabled people are marginalized and cast aside.
There is more than one kind of handicap, and there are obviously various degrees of being disabled. There are generally two kinds of disabled people: those who are born disabled and those whose handicap affects them later in life.
Others become disabled through illness. This can happen to any of us. It can happen through an accident, or it may be the gradual loss of our hearing or sight. The loss of the use of limbs can be anyone's experience.
But there is another kind of handicap, mental impairment, those born with mental limitations. It may be a low IQ or those born with Down's syndrome. There are those who have a learning disability, such as dyslexia. Some lose the ability to think clearly. It may come from an accident, from an operation, or from senility—perhaps Alzheimer's disease.
Such people often love the Lord Jesus Christ with deepest devotion, but they wonder what's wrong with them. And yet God allows this because He has a purpose in it all. He loves us so much, and what is often seen as a negative in this life will be seen in the opposite way when we get to heaven.
