Changing Face of Compton

fireworks3
Compton is a great place to live, work, and raise a family. It is home to almost 100,000 citizens. Known as the “Hub City” because of its unique position in almost the exact geographical center of Los Angeles County, Compton is strategically located along the Alameda Corridor, a passageway of 25 percent of all U.S. waterborne international trade. Compton is rapidly emerging as a large industrial center in Los Angeles County for transit and distribution, business services, high technology, home and lifestyle products, metals, financial services, and textile manufacturing.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER:

Oh how we love You Jesus. Oh how we worship You, Heavenly Father. You are: holy, righteous, omnipotent, love, just, patient, merciful, omnipresent, You know all, see all and can do all. We praise You Father because there has not been one day in our life we had to live without You. We worship You because even when we didn't recognize or respect Your presence, because of Who You are You never stopped loving us. Today, You blessed us with another new day, another chance to show the world how much we love You; we pray each one appreciates today and purposes in our heart to share You with all we come in contact with. We pray the works we do today and the love we share shows all how much we love, honor, and appreciate Your presence with us today, We ask for the release of Your Healing Virtues in and upon the life of our dear sister Phoebe's Mother; Thy Will o Lord be done, and Thy Grace rest upon the entire family, in Jesus Name, Amen.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION;

DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING BETTER?

Before you say that, do you have something better to say? Don't settle for the lie, the truth is better. Don't stoop to the gossip, speak words that bring life, that's better. Don't tare people down, build up, encourage, that's better. Before you say it, ask yourself the question, "Do I have something better to say?" If the answer is "yes" say it!

Before you do that, do you have something better to do? How will what you’re thinking about doing better you? Will it help someone else? What good can you say tomorrow about what you did today? Stop wasting time doing stuff you will regret, what's the point? Do today what will matter tomorrow. Before you do it, ask yourself the question, "Do I have something better to do?" If the answer is "yes" do it!

Before you go there, do you have somewhere better to go? Don't go there if going there will take you back to where you were delivered from. If "there" is not better than where you are, stay home, it's safe there. Before you go there, ask yourself the question, "Is there somewhere better I can go?" If the answer is "yes" go there!

You don't need me to check you, check yourself! Govern your life by the questions you ask yourself…BEFORE you say it, do it, or go there.

Oh yea, don't trust your answer, run it by God before your decision is made, He knows NOW how it will affect your tomorrow. Trust what God knows and you will always experience better.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER:

Oh how wonderful it is to wake up knowing, Father it is You Who said, “wake up”. It is You Who said, “You have another new day, another chance to draw closer to Me”. It is You Who said, “I have a purpose for Your life, will You walk in it today?” We have so many expectations of You, we pray each one will think about the expectations You have of us. You expect us to love one another, we fall short. You expect us to forgive one another, we fall short. You expect us to listen for Your voice, hear Your voice and obey Your voice, we fall short. You expect us to yield not to temptation, we fall short. You expect us to walk in our purpose, we fall short. Although we fall short of living up to Your expectations daily, You continue to be God and love on us anyway; thank You for Your mercy. We pray each one will do better today; not because we have to, but because we love and appreciate Your amazing love to us always. We owe You the praise, not just with our lips, but with the life we live; we will do better at praising You today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
Oh Lord, our God, You are the source of our strength. It’s because of You we live, move and have our being. You are our peace; You bring us joy and Your love to us is amazing. In You we have all we need, help us to take a deep breath and relax in You. We pray no one gets needing one another confused with needing You, because without You we can do nothing. Help us to focus on what matters most….pleasing You. Give us a praying spirit and help us to do as You say, talk to You about everything. Talking to You is a great privilege…thank You for opening the door to great conversation, which brings peace, direction, comfort and answers to all our questions. Give us the courage to accept Your answer, even when Your answer is: “no, wait or trust Me”. Thank You for this great day, we will rejoice and be glad all the day long, in Jesus Name, Amen.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION:
WHO ARE YOU WAITING ON?

In order to do your purpose, who are you waiting on to support you? Who do you need to give you the nod? Who do you need to encourage you? I bet the answer is, "Family & Friends" right? That's the natural response, but the wrong answer.

REALITY: All your family and friends will not support you!

TRUTH: GOD gave you all you need to do your purpose; if God be for you, it does not matter who is for or against you!

Our feelings and emotions get involved when our expectations of people are not met; once our feelings and emotions are involved we are no longer expecting God…we’re nursing our feelings. When we don't expect God, our purpose is placed on the back-burner and we choose to do things our way…never-mind God’s way.

Until you BE who God created you to be and do your assigned (by God) purpose, you will always feel like something is missing. A good job, nice family life, and a little money is good; but NOTHING can fill the void that keeps saying, "something is missing"… your search to be complete will continue. You will continue to reach for something to relax you, someone to make you feel special, and somewhere to give you peace.

If YOU are not in support of you doing your purpose, why are you looking to your family and friends for support? God has given you "the nod" all He's waiting on is for you to nod back, "yes Lord, I'm available". Encouragement has to come from you....encourage yourself in the Lord. As you encourage yourself in the Lord, purpose in your heart to give God a yes, and move forward in your purpose. I am a witness, God will give you all you need to support you. The key is to expect God, not people.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER:

Oh Lord, our God, how great You are; Your Name is above all names and You are always worthy of all praise! The works of Your hands are mighty, the words You speak are all powerful and Your love to us is amazing! We thank You for being all that You are to us always; You are the only constant we have, thank You! We thank You for this new day, another day to press forward. We pray each one will take advantage of the new chance we have to be all that You designed us to be this day. We pray no one declares, “I’ll wait until tomorrow” but if it’s possible to do today, we pray each one will do IT today. We pray each one will show love in abundance, extend forgiveness when necessary and offer a smile to all we meet. Lord, we ask You to bless each one with the blessings we stand in need of; give us a clean heart and a praying spirit. We pray Your will for our life becomes our will; we pray each one will know, the best decision we can ever make is to go with Your plan for our life. Help us to trust You more, in Jesus Name, Amen.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION:

POWERFUL WORDS

In the beginning God spoke and everything He spoke, it was so. Look around, the sky, trees, and grass, God spoke that! The mountains, valleys and dessert places, God spoke that! His words were powerful then and because He changes not, His words are powerful now.

When God spoke, “let us make man in our image” that was the beginning for us. When God formed man out of the dust from the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and man became a living being—that is LIFE for us. As long as we live, we have God’s breath in us. If God’s words are powerful, guess what? So are our words powerful!

Be careful what you speak, it will be! When you say: I’m sick, lonely, depressed, broke, disgusted, lazy, fat, ugly, confused, troubled, mad, stuck, sad –you spoke that! Don’t be surprised when what you speak continues to happen, your words are powerful.

Be careful what you speak today, your words are powerful—speak words that bring life! If you don’t know what to say, let God speak for you, He always knows what to say.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER:

Our Father in heaven, holy You are and holy You will always be. We thank You for opening our eyes to another new day. We thank You for new mercy. We thank You for a new privilege to draw closer to You and another chance to love our fellowman. We pray for those whose opinions are so strong they’re driving souls away from You; help us remember Your command to have love one to another. Give us the courage to stay in our place and allow You to be God. You’ve been God always and You’re great at being God; help us to let You be Who You are to us and trust You to continue to be God. Father, we’re praying for TJ Whitfield; four months ago the doctors said no—this past Sunday she walked in HSM on her own--You showed us prayer changes things. Yesterday she suffered a setback—our faith looks up to You and we shall continue to believe the report of the Lord; we thank You in advance that she will be made whole. We pray Your blessings, peace and protection over each eye who reads this prayer. We pray our will lines up with Your will, and Your will absolutely be done in our life. We offer praise to You for this beautiful day—whether it’s raining, snowing or sunny, we will rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.
