The All About JESUS Podcast

There will be times in your life as a Christian that you will ask the simple butcomplex question to GOD, And Why GOD? This simple but complicated questioncomes when things are happening in your life that makes absolutely no sense at all.This question comes to your mind and out of your mouth when the inconceivableis or has taken place and it appears for no reason especially due to your living thelife that GOD has asked you to live. Not perfect but one in obedience faith, andpurposeful, as asked of you by GOD, and then the unthinkable comes to your frontdoor. At that moment all you can think of saying is And Why LORD is thishappening to me, to us? In our message today we will see people like yourselfasking the same question to GOD, due to the situation and circumstances they findthemselves in, even though they haven’t forsaken, turned away, haven’t goneastray, spread their hands towards another god nor forgotten Almighty GOD.

Is There Just One WednesdayGOD is looking down from heaven on all of us, HE is looking and seeking to find some, a few, or just one who HE can trust, speak to, share HIS word with, call upon, give a vision to implant a dream in, send to the King, used to deliver HIS people, use to walk on water, or open a business that can employ others, give resources to - to build what HE needs to build. GOD is looking down to find someone, anyone who is seeking HIM and can understand. I ask to have you positioned yourself to be one of the few. I believe GOD is asking this question to you and me. Are there any who understands? What’s your answer to HIS question. Is it Here am I LORD or something else. HIS next question to you and I is this. Are there any who seek me? Again, I ask you what your answer to HIM is? Is it Here am I LORD or something else. I ask you today are you the one that GOD can find at this time to use in a mighty way. Where it’s not about you but about HIM, us and others. Because so many people want to make it all about themselves, let me tell you that is not who GOD is looking for, HE is looking for the unselfish, the humble and the faithful. I believe this is the kind of person GOD is looking down from Heaven trying to find, to impart HIS Word in and use in a mighty way in these days and times of the fools and foolish. GOD is looking for just one.

GET UP & GET GOING WEDNESDAYI know a lot of people are hurt, confused, upset and have a lot of questions about why and how.Why did this happen and how did this happen! We must understand that people have differentthought, idea and agendas. Some look at the small picture and how can it benefit me as somelook at the larger picture how can it benefit the majority. The self-benefits have spoken, and it iswhat it is. What I say to you is don’t get consumed with the news, the chatter and the chaos tocome. You can be in the world, but you don’t have to be of it, separate yourself from all the noisethat will come and has been disseminating over social media. This is a time for you to focus onyourself, your true friends, family and your inner circle and of course GOD. And please allowme to say this too you, I hear many people asking how could GOD allow this to happen. Pleaseunderstand GOD gives each man free will and does not make you do what you don’t want to do.Let’s look at it from this perspective let’s say you are stuck on a sinking boat and all of a suddenyou see a helicopter coming and it stops to rescue you, and you wave it off, then another boatcomes by and they come over to rescue you and you wave them on saying I’m good. Because inyour mind you are waiting for GOD. Well, GOD sent two vessels to save you, but you chose tostay on a sinking boat. And eventually your boat sinks and you drown. Understand HE placedtwo good options in front of you and you decided to choose the one with the worst outcome.Well, that was a choice that you made to stay on a sinking boat that led to your demise. Well, inthis election GOD placed two good options in front of the American people Harris and Walz,good decent, respectful, with morals and values. People who would do what was right to helpsave America. But the people chose the worst outcome and they will have to live with theconsequences. So, just as the person on the boat had a choice, so did America. GOD placed goodoptions in front of the people, and they decided to choose the opposite. The worst possiblechoice. So, how is that GOD, that was the American people’s choice, and they will have to livewith their choice. What I say to you who did not choose this craziness and chaos, don’t allow itinto your life, tune it out, turn it off (the television) and live your life in peace. Let them have thechaos and you chose the calm. Because when it is all said and done my bible says no weaponformed against me shall prosper, HE did not say it would not be formed HE promised it wouldnot prosper nor touch a hair on your head. So, I say focus your attention on whatever is true,whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think and focus on those things. And continue to leadyou as you continue to Get Up and Get Going.

Don't Get Frustrated Wednesday Spiritual Frustration is not abnormal, it is part of the Christian Journey. I know in this last week of the election season, angst will come, angushiness will come, uncertainty will come, frustration will probably come if it has not come already. But I want to reassure you that GOD is still in control and has this situation under control, all you have to do is trust HIM. So, don't get frustrated nor get upset with your fellow Americans as they spread lies, deceit, hatred and divisiveness, GOD will have HIS way in the end. So, my fellow Christian's, I know you wanted GOD to move in your time and because HE hasn't many find yourselves frustrated by all of this, I ask you to stay the course GOD will show up and show out in HIS time for all to see. Amen.

HE’s Walking with us WednesdayWe do not serve a GOD who does not sympathize with what we go through in our daily lives. We do not serve a god that sits on a shelf that we must move around, a god that walks in a field in the form of a calf, nor a god that is a statue. We serve a GOD that has walked in the footprints and footsteps that we have and are walking through here on earth. Therefore, HE understands every little thing that we encounter in our lives, because HE encountered them too. Ridicule, hatred, rejection, betrayal and the lack of grace but HE still showed HIMSELF to be GOD and above it all. That is why when we go through trials, tribulation, hurt, hardships and heartache HE is there for us. To walk with us, weep with us and do for us whatever needs to be done to bring us to peace, joy, and wholeness.In our message today we can see JESUS’ love for Mary, Martha, and Lazurus. As we can also see the love, commitment, obedience and trust they each had in HIM. The same attributes that we as believers need to display in our Christian Journey, in our moments of need and hard times. As the message speaks of the trust, maturity, commitment and obedience of Martha and Mary showed towards JESUS in route to the miracle they received from JESUS. Christians today must get rid of the surface level faith, kindergarten behavior and the juvenile commitment to GOD. There comes a point in a person’s life that they cannot be doing at 54 years old what they were doing at 25 years of age. One had to evolve, mature, and grow up. It’s time for Christians to begin developing an up close and personal relation with GOD and not to continue to do what they’ve always done. I say do something different, be different so you can receive different from GOD. I don’t understand why people are happy with the ordinary, the mundane, and the same ole stuff. Don’t you want something more from your relationship with GOD. So, you can do more for the LORD, so in turn HE can do more with, through and to you. Mary, Martha and Lazarus had a do more relationship with GOD. Do you?

Stay The Course WednesdayFATHER, it’s painful, it’s difficult, and I’m tired FATHER! I never knew that it would be this tough, I never knew I would go through all of this, I never knew I would not feel YOUR presence here with me, I never knew I would feel forsaken. But despite all that I am feeling I’ll Stay (The Course)! This is the conversation that I imagined might have happened as I read of JESUS’ crucifixion. As I try to picture HIM hanging on the cross, giving HIS life up for you and me. All of this after a severe beating, with blood pouring from HIS wounds and pain flowing through HIS Body, He endured it all and said I’ll Stay, not words from HIS mouth but by HIS actions. Do you know JESUS with all his deity, divinity and power could have summoned a legion of angels to assist if HE so desired. Mt 26:53. But we see JESUS freely accept HIS assignment for the greater good of others at the expense or sacrifice of HIMSELF.So, wherever GOD has you at this present time, whatever GOD has you doing at this moment, whatever assignment HE has bestowed on you, and it doesn’t feel good, it’s difficult, you feel alone, GOD doesn’t seem to be with you anymore. Allow me to say this to you, you can do it, you can achieve it, you can make it, you can overcome it, you can have the victory over it, you can get through it, to it whatever GOD has for you. All you must do is stay the course, don’t give up or give in. You already have the victory in CHRIST JESUS and like CHRIST JESUS. If you will let GOD know I’ll Stay The Course! If you take one step to understand and be assured, HE will help you with the rest. Stay the Course you got it.

A Loosen Your Grip Wednesday I once heard an old southern man say a closed hand doesn’t receive and a closed mouth doesn’t get fed. I would like to add that a closed mind doesn’t expand, a hard heart doesn’t accept, and a scared person doesn’t step out in faith. Do you know GOD knows and hears your thoughts, conversations and knows your heart, HE listens to your ideas, you’re murmuring and things you say while in your poverty or lack. Only to sometimes test to see if you would do what you say you would do, with trusting you with a little. Often these tests come in small acts of expected kindness, giving, sharing and sacrifices. Placing someone in need of something and seeing if you would provide. Simply leaving a tip for a waitress or a maid that needs a few dollars to buy some medicine for his/her child and you fail to leave a $10 tip for the maid cleaning your hotel room as GOD has placed in your heart to do so. GOD may not be able to trust you, because your hands are closed. HE sometimes tests you at a checkout counter, when someone is short of money to pay for their groceries and you’re in line behind them and instead of you saying I’ll pay the difference for you, you remain silent and become a spectator in that person’s shame or humiliation. Standing there with more than you need and able to assist but you don’t, but what you do decide to do is text, tweet or IG about it instead! GOD may not be able to trust you, because your hands are closed, heart is closed, and you possess a mean spirit. I believe GOD in those moments where it’s just you and the situation or should I say opportunity to assist someone in need. Your actions then shows GOD your ability and HE judges and blesses you accordingly to what you have shown in those times…And I know many of you will come back with well GOD knows my heart, and my answer to them is yes HE does you showed it to HIM in that very moment, HE placed you there to be an ambassador for HIM, a blessing to someone else, you chose to be selfish, stingy and harmful as opposed to being helpful. . Because you weren’t willing to help someone who was in need… HE knows and sees the stinginess of your heart… You showed it- therefore HE knows it.Scripture says GOD loves a cheerful giver, so when the opportunity presents itself and at GOD’s direction Invest freely and cheerfully as GOD leads you to do so. Open your hand and allow GOD to flow blessing through you. Not just for you but for others as well. Loosen grip allows you to be faithful over a little, positioning you to be set over much” Trust is gained…Faith is grown…Blessing begins to flow when you are good stewards over what GOD has given you and you are willing to assist others in times of need. Amen

Hold Up Wednesday Do you know or have you realized that untested faith is unreliable faith? It is not until your faith is tested in fire (trials, tribulations, and test) that we truly know if we believe in what we profess. I am a fond believer that faith and Christian character is not forged in feathers, when everything is going well, no worries, no attacks, and no test, but they are forged in the testing of your faith and actions. Just as it requires much heat to burn the impurities out of gold and make its true luster and shine to come forth. WE as followers and believers are the same as the gold that is being refined and defined: it sometimes requires extreme heat for out imperfections to be burned away and our real identity as a mature Christian to come to the surface. Scripture reminds us “Consider it pure joy, my brother’s, whenever your face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. “ (James 1:2-4). In today’s message we focus on if you truly want to be used by GOD in a mighty way and receive all GOD has for you going thru trials and staying the course during the refinement process is a must and part of your journey. I simply ask you this question about your faith: “Will It Hold Up (When Tested)? Don’t answer too soon, your test maybe right around the corner!

Who Will Be There WednesdayThey all claimed to love HIM, but John left HIM, Peter denied HIM, Thomas doubted HIM, Judas betrayed HIM, and the rest didn’t even take time to show up for HIM. Despite all that HE had done for and with them. In today’s churches we all claim to love HIM but one of you reading this and willing to take a few minutes of your time to listen to our message; has left HIM, another has denied HIM, one more of you have doubted HIM, even another has betrayed HIM, and mass of people have not even bothered to show up for HIM (at church) despite all that HE has done in their lives. Do you know this is the stark reality of JESUS’ life in the past as well as in the present time we are living in today. Denied, doubted, betrayed, no shows, and outright forgotten about at times. I will make this short and to the point, are you one of the aforementioned people or are you different. If you say different in which ways, are you so different from the others? Are you working for JESUS, are you operating in your purpose, have you answered the call to fulfill your calling, are you bringing people to CHRIST, are you spreading the Gospel, are you helping the less fortunate, are you giving of yourself to the betterment of others, do you have a testimony better yet does GOD have a testimony that HE can share up in heaven about all you are doing here on earth? GOD has always been there for you, can you honestly say today, you are here for HIM? I am just a messenger with no judgement! GOD is the judge so judge yourself accordingly.

It’s an” In YOU” WednesdayMany times, as human beings we place our trust in other humans. Let me say a flawed individual places their trust in another equally or more flawed person. What sense does that make now that I have spoken it out loud. I’m a sinner saved by grace and flawed, and I’m putting my trust in another sinner saved by grace and flawed as well. And we wonder why some many people are walking around disappointed, upset, mad, and with trust issues. Allow me to say this: let your first cry out be to GOD, let you first seek to be towards GOD and HIS council for your answers. Let your first satisfying your every need be geared towards GOD. Let the first mending of a broken be geared towards GOD. All I’m saying is make GOD your first choice not your last resort. After you’ve gone to everyone else for answers, help and healing. And don’t find it whereas all along it was right there in front you at your fingertips in the form of GOD your loving FATHER. WHO has promised to meet all your needs. Answer all your prayers and save you when you cry out to HIM. Understand it is in GOD we receive all things.

A Knowing What You Deserve Wednesday Do you know most Christians don’t know who they are, what they deserve, or what GOD desires to give them. And with lack of knowledge of the promises GOD has promised them, and HE has for them, many have been tricked into believing that a GOD of abundance who walks on streets of gold and has gates made of pearls (Rev 21:21) wants his children broke, busted and disgusted. Living in lack, poverty, scarcity, and not enough. What Glory does GOD get from HIS children living in poverty and lack, whereas the enemy and his children living their best lives. I ask why would GOD have you living worst as a saved child of HIS than you did when you were a sinner and far away from HIS presence? I can answer that for you, HE doesn’t! GOD desires HIS children to be blessed and living a good prosperous life, right here on earth--right now.I ask this how many of you would listen to an intelligent homeless man or woman? Not many. But how many would listen to a supposedly rich fool? 70 million! GOD knows that more people will listen to the uplifted and the elevated than to the lowly and downtrodden. So, why would he want HIS children downtrodden as opposed to elevated with a voice of truth and a message of the Cross for the world to see. HIS children are the light of the world but if a light is dim no one can see it. And poverty and lack brings about a dimly lit light. Because poverty brings about depression, doubt, discouragement, destitution, detriment, dire, disconcertment, discord, disparity, displacement, distractions, distress, dread, debt, dismay and detriment. all stemming from the devil, and what light can shine brightly in those conditions. I ask you as I leave you with this thought when did GOD ever bless someone with lack, poverty, or depravity in the bible? Let me answer that for you-- HE never did! Poverty is a curse not a blessing! And as a child of GOD don’t you let anyone fool you or trick you into saying that it is, many times people have tried to use the bible to justify and validate their wrongs, as they did in the past to justify slavery. Therefore, don’t allow them to use the trick of lack and poverty in the same manner for you. I want you to understand, believe, and know GOD desires more for you as a Christian and you deserve more as a Child of a KING! And that is to live a life worthy of a KING’s Child.

A Call in Need WednesdayIn our message today we see David is in a situation and in need of help. In the main text we read that he did not attempt to wake anyone in the house if there was someone in the house or tent with him, to talk about this thing that was bringing about stress, anxiety and worry in his life. He did not try to get on the phone and call anyone, even though there weren’t any back then, but work with me, he didn’t try whatever the mode of communication was back then. He didn’t do what many today would do, he didn’t text a friend, didn’t post his problem on Facebook, didn’t put his issue on Instagram, didn’t stick his situation on Snapchat, nor did he send out tweets on X pretending everything was good when he was going through hell. But quite the contrary we see him making one call to the ONE who could help him out of his present situation.You know it befuddles me how so many people will call on everybody in their contact list on their phones, leaning on all the people on their Facebook page they don’t know at all nor how they became friends on the platform or anyone else who is willing to listen. Before they call on GOD, it behooves me! Someone please explain that to me, I just don’t understand it. Calling on people who have more problems than you do. It’s like asking advice about marriage from your friend who has never been married or another one who has been divorced 3 times. I’m not sure if I want their advice about the subject of marriage. Or your single friend who doesn’t have a man, can get a man or keep one when she does meet someone-about relationship advice. That’s like asking the devil how to get saved! As you will hear in this message there is one call to ONE person in your time of need that can make all the difference in your situation, circumstances, and in your life. “Then I called on the name of the LORD: “LORD, save me! Allow me to write that again…. Then I called on the name of the LORD: “LORD, save me!” And the LORD saved him. In his anguish he called GOD! I ask you this simple question; who are you calling in your time of need?

Unless GOD and Apart from HIM Wednesday In our main text Solomon is speaking and informing his audience that whatever they do unless GOD is in it -it won’t work. Unless GOD be with you, Unless GOD directs, Unless GOD instructs you, Unless GOD guides you, Unless GOD counsels you, Unless GOD favors you, Unless GOD is with you, all you do is in vain. How many of you are laboring in vain as we speak; toiling day and night rising earlier staying up late worrying in vain and to no avail. Feeling like you’re running in quicksand or on a treadmill…Unless GOD is a part of what you’re doing, you’re making your task harder for yourself. Because everything that can come against you will come against you. Every problem that can arise will arise, every devil that can show up will show up, every demon, every spirit, every negative friend, negative issue will arise it ugly head in your situation. But please be reminded if GOD before you HE is more than the world against you-but how can HE before you if you haven’t not called upon HIM, to be there for you. I will leave you with this stay connected to GOD always, keep your Unless GOD builds it, Unless GOD watches over It and Apart from HIM I can do nothing -Fresh in your heart, and in your mind if you do just know GOD will help you do great things. Because GOD desires to be a part of all that you do. HE doesn’t want you laboring in vain…. HE wants us to be fruitful and successful with HIM in whatever we do… Amen

Q&A From Subscribers

A Downsizing Less is More WednesdayDo you know and understand GOD’s math is addition by subtraction. Let me explain that by subtracting from GOD is adding too. Subtracting to add. Whereas man’s is addition by addition…The more the merrier for man, but GOD’s motto is less is more-Two fish and five loaves fed the multitudes. HE made more out of less; GOD can do more with less in your life than most can do with more. The Glory to and the Power of GOD comes forth when HE uses, takes, elevates, calls, and chooses and uses less to get more done as opposed to using more and getting less done I know that sounds like a foreign concept to most, but walk with GOD for a while and you will see and experience HIS method and mode of operation. In today’s message you will see and hear this dynamic taking place right in front of our eyes, and in Gideon’s life.

A What’s Your Desire-Wednesday When GOD has placed HIS Word within you and in your hearts, there’s no hiding place, it’s not something you can keep secret. It (the Word), HE (GOD), and the HOLY SPIRIT that resides within won’t allow you to hide it or keep it a secret. As the Psalmist says “I speak of your faithfulness and your saving help. That’s what GOD desires for us to speak about what HE has done, HE will do, HE is doing and has done to all that will listen. Understand this is what GOD desires for you to do- share and spread the GOD News! That is why you study, why HE writes HIS Word in your heart, why the HOLY SPIRIT brings back to your remembrance what you have learned and been taught. To bring others to CHRIST but also council, console, empower uplift, and bring hope to the hopeless, homeless, the helpless and hurting. Really share with anyone who is willing to listen in the great assembly (The World) … It is what you should desire because in desiring it you are doing GOD’s will in your life. Let me leave you with this thought, GOD says Delight yourself in the LORD and HE will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4- if you make HIM your desire, HE will give your desires. Amen

A Hard Message WednesdayThere are things that are required when you have been elevated to a leadership role: self-control, doing what is right, not taking advantage of those you oversee, have power over or less fortunate than yourself or Ones who are depending on you. In the text David violates each and every one of those aforementioned things.  If GOD is about to elevate you, given you a vision or assignment that will have you overseeing or supervising others Be moral, be righteous, be selfless and don’t try to exploit the ones GOD sent you to help and lead. In the text David exploited, abused and misused his power and committed adultery as well as murder. But as I said no bad or awful deed like this goes unpunished by GOD

Who LORD Wednesday“Who Shall Dwell on Your Holy Hill? O LORD, who shall sojourn in your tent? Who shall dwell on your holy hill? He who walks blamelessly and does what is right and speaks truth in his heart; who does not slander with his tongue and does no evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his friend; in whose eyes a vile person is despised, but who honors those who fear the LORD; who swears to his own hurt and does not change; who does not put out his money at interest and does not take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.” Psalms 15:1-5The question has been asked, it's up to you to answer it. I say judge yourself accordingly!

Stepping Into 2024 WednesdayDo you know in your Christian Journey your steps are tracked, counted, ordered and made secured by the ONE who is able to do all things.Know this Truth HE is doing so from our inception to our death our steps are being tracked. The mishaps, the mistakes, the near messes, the triumphs, the failures, the disappointments, the sidesteps, the late-night creeps and our steps to places you know you weren’t supposed to be, and the BC were all tracked too. Every day HE is watching us as we walk closer to our promise or backtrack from it. Don’t allow anyone to condemn you, demean you, talk bad about you because you may have trip, stumbled or fallen on your Christian journey. That doesn’t mean your steps are not still ordered that GOD is still not counting and tracking your steps, it doesn’t mean HIS angel, or HIS Eyes have left you. Your fall gives you more depth to your message, more meaning, more firsthand experience and knowledge in order to help someone else with the lived message! If by chance you've fallen in 2023 it's time to get back up and keep stepping in 2024. You can’t stop you have things to see, people to meet, dreams to fulfill, promises to get, and blessing to collect.

A Forgiveness WednesdayGood morning it’s Wednesday again, and we thank GOD for being blessed to be back with you to share a Word of GOD. We pray that since the last time we spoke things have gone well, for you in your life, but if not, our hopes are that GOD has comforted you thru any hard times or used someone else to do so. These last few weeks we have experienced a great move of GOD in the lives of people that we have encountered. Experiencing reconciliation, reunions, and relationships that have been rekindled after years of conflict. Do you know we all slip, stumble, and fall and do things that are unbecoming (some more than others) that warrant we be forgiven. Forgiveness from the person or persons we wronged and especially forgiveness from All Mighty GOD. Unfortunately, forgiveness seems to be a difficult thing to do for non- Christians and Christians, the unchurched and the churched, spiritual, and unspiritual alike. People today always want to receive forgiveness, grace and mercy-Yet unwilling or unable to extend it to others. Unfortunately, what we can garner from people that are unwilling to forgive is a spirit of unforgiveness is the dominant force/spirit in their lives.As a Christian or as a human being, it is important that you are willing and able to forgive others who you believe have wronged you but equally as important is that you can forgive yourself. Self-guilt is something people carry around in silence and secrecy, not realizing the damage it is causing and the toll it is taking on them mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. As you forgive others you have to also find it in your heart and spirit to forgive yourself. Understand, no one walking this earth is perfect, mistake-free, or sin free. That is why grace and mercy is affordable to us daily. HE forgives so we must forgive- others as well as ourselves. We all deserve a fresh start, forgiveness for our misdeeds, mishaps, and mistakes in CHRIST JESUS, In today’s message Forgiveness is Paramount we will tackle the unforgiveness of mankind. So, today if you’re holding something against someone or against yourself-I suggest that you resolve it today. Because tomorrow is not promised to any of us! I believe everything is forgivable, if you’re willing to forgive, so you too can be forgiven by GOD. Amen. Lastly, we thank you for giving us a few minutes of your time, we ask that you share our podcast with friends, family and especially foes today- it’s a good start towards forgiveness. We pray today that GOD will give you all that you stand in need of and the prayers from your lips will reach GOD’s ears expediently and you will see the move of the LORD in your life and situation immediately.

A Process Wednesday GreetingsGreetings to our aajpod family, We are thankful and grateful to be back with you and carrying a Word of GOD in our Spirits to share with you. We hope that we have found you in good health, spirits, joy and strength to overcome all that you may be dealing with today. We come to remind you that GOD has not turned HIS back on you, nor has HE taken HIS eyes off of you, HE knows what is going on in your life, and exactly where you are in HIS process to grow you. So, know regardless of what it looks like you are progressing to where GOD needs you to be and where you are is part of HIS master plan for your life. GOD is still in control and what you are experiencing right now is temporary… GOD sees you and HE needs you to continue to progress in the process!Do you know, GOD is a GOD of process and order; HE never does anything out of order nor without the proper process. Because there no progress without a process and without process and order there cannot be growth, maturity, the ultimate usage of you by GOD nor a new you. If we look at how GOD created the animals of the earth; HE took a caterpillar through a process or metamorphosis to becoming a butterfly, a tadpole into a frog, and an egg to an eagle. All through HIS process for each to progress into what they were ultimately created to be. Although, it is hard to see how they became who they are if we just look at the beginning of each’s journey, but they ultimately became who they were created to be but only after going through GOD’s process to becoming a new them. Just as each of us has our own unique journey into becoming what GOD has ultimately designed and created us to be. Sinner to saint, heathen to hero, liars to liaisons, outsiders to insider and devilish to divine. As we see and read about the metamorphosis in the bible, persecutors to preachers, murders to deliverers, deniers to rock, and orphan to queens. Process in order to Progress! In today’s message we will talk about the 7 P’s (7 in the bible being the number that represents completion) of GOD (Process to Prosperity and a New You) In our message today we don’t want you to get mixed up or be misled, by use using the word prosperity… prosperity in the biblical sense does not only mean financial/monetary blessing. When we speak of prosperity in our messages it means; prosperity in your peace, your growth spiritually, joy, healing, mental capacity, your love, giving, etc. Because what good is money when you have failing health, no peace of mind, you’re mentally and spiritually bankrupt. It does no good! Now don’t get me wrong if you need financial/monetary blessing, HE is able to deliver that too! Amen. But we don’t want you to get hung up on prosperity just meaning financial blessing. Lastly, we thank you in advance for allowing us to share our message with you-- knowing you will share it with others. We send prayers up to GOD on your behalf, asking for blessing, peace of mind, health, strength, and wisdom for you and yours. w/ Love Jerome "To GOD be The Glory"

We pray that you and your family are well, and to those of you who may have lost a loved one, friend, or an acquaintance our heartfelt condolences go out to you and yours. We ask that you be careful and remain vigilant as a second wave of the virus has begun rearing its head, as we also deal with a series of natural disasters. I know it has been a long 2020 for all of us and many have started to grow tired and weary from COVID-19 isolations, social distancing, wearing a mask, disaster recovery and how all of our lives have been changed -- please know this is not the time to let your guards down. The virus is still deadly and there is still no national plan in place to curtail it, except to continue to do the aforementioned things that the scientists are recommending. It is all the direction we have right now from man!Today, we have been moved to share a message with you that we believe is relevant and necessary as we have been heading to the polls to vote. It’s entitled “Uneasiness, Unrest, & Ungodliness (Hovering Over The Land).” We ask that you take a minute of your time to listen to it, as it reminds some, informs others, and confirms to the rest the importance of your vote this election cycle -- a message and reminder of how your vote can chance the course that America and the World has been on for the past four years. Yes, your one vote can bring about change. Change from the uneasiness, the unrest and the ungodly spirit that has been hovering over the land for the past 4 years. These spirits of hatred, divisiveness, bitterness, violence, evil, unrest, corruption, and iniquities that as scripture says “Has built barriers between you (America) and your GOD” (Isaiah 59). If indeed that is what we have done as Americans, let us go out and use our votes to vote these spirits out and tear down the barriers we have built between us and GOD, so we can rid ourselves of those hovering spirits once and for all.Lastly, we have had too many people fight, get hosed, bitten by dogs, beaten by police batons and died for us to have a right to vote. I ask that you don’t allow anything or anyone to deter, intimidate you, or stop you from voting, it’s your right! Please exercise it on Tuesday November 3rd if you have not already done so. Just know, we here at aajpod are praying for you and your families, health, wealth and well-being. Be blessed and please vote! We need Peace, Rest and GOD’s SPIRIT back hovering over America.

“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father" (Matthew 24:36). This Sunday we all received some terrible news with the sudden and unexpected death of Kobe Bryant, his daughter, Gigi, and the other passengers on the helicopter that crashed in California. Although none of us knew him personally, it was if we all knew him personally. So, we here at aajpod, ask that you continue to keep those families in your prayers and be ever mindful that the next minute, hour, nor day is promised to any of us –so, let your loved ones, friends, and others know that you love them. Amen.As we all experienced this week, no one can control the day nor the moment that our time on earth expires. But there’s one thing that we all can control and that is where we will spend eternity. That’s a choice that each of us freely has and it’s based on our acceptance of JESUS as our Savior and how we choose to live upon HIS acceptance into our lives. What I’ve discovered is many accept HIM into their lives, but HE doesn’t become their lives. They continue to live as they previously did –becoming churchgoers, but not GOD seekers; religious, but not relational (with GOD), and seem to only desire the things from GOD but not the righteousness of GOD. Thus, the churches are seemingly full on Sundays, but with many who are just attending church (which is a step in the right direction) but who are not hungry and thirsty for GOD’s righteousness. Please, understand It’s one thing to attend church and to seek GOD for the things of GOD (HIS promises and blessings), but it’s quite a different experience and takes a different kind of commitment to seek the presence of GOD, the purpose of GOD, the plans of GOD, and the righteousness of GOD in your life. In our message today, “The Righteous -Where Have They All Gone?,” - https://youtu.be/4dWFd064TzY - you will hear about one man’s commitment to the righteousness of GOD, which in turn allowed him to hear from GOD, communicate with GOD, interact with GOD, plead with GOD, and subsequently, get an immediate response from GOD. All due to GOD deeming him a righteous man. Know we here at aajpod love you and thank you for your continued support. We truly appreciate your help in spreading the Word of GOD! We are thankful to all of you for taking the time to fellowship with us! Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube Channel and check out our website, where you can sign up for updates.

Happy Value-Tines Day On this Valentine’s Day Week, we pray that every woman receives all the candy, cards, roses, and love that they all deserve and desire. For I believe that all women are special and are gifts from GOD to this earth – so, on this week (as they are every week to me) I want to say how much I appreciate and value all of the women that GOD has placed in my life. As well, I pray all men would share this same sentiment and thoughts about the women GOD has blessed them with. Unfortunately, the reality is there are many men who do not see the worth, value, and gifts that women are. It is my prayer that one day soon they will receive the revelation from GOD and learn to appreciate the gifts women truly are.I believe Christian men must continue to learn and understand the gift women are to us and along with learning, they must also be willing to allow GOD to reach down from Heaven and love her through them. It is my belief that when men learn to open their hearts, minds, and spirits to GOD, HE shows men how to love the woman/women (women-daughters, friends, etc.) that HE has blessed our lives with. Now, I know in any relationship every day won’t be peaches and roses, but if the relationship is built on a solid foundation, GOD, and a man knows and recognizes the gift of the woman in his life, difficult times will be much easier to overcome, due to him knowing her worth and value in his life.Therefore, it’s a man’s acknowledgment of a woman’s worth and value, and his ability to communicate his appreciation for her and to her, that tells him that every day should be like a Valentine’s Day to/for her. I know for many men that sounds difficult, but please allow me to be cupid for a minute (lol). Here are my humble suggestions: with a simple, “ I love you and praying you have a great day”, in the morning; a quick text “I’m thinking about you and wanted you to know I adore you”, during her day; and ending the day with an “I love you, appreciate all you do for our family and I thank GOD for you”, at night. I believe it is in those moments you’ve just shown and told her how much you value her, as well as, appreciate her. In those moments she knows you see her as a gift from GOD and feels it, too. What I’ve discovered is for most women it doesn’t take much to make their day, as well as, make them feel special. A card, flowers, or a loving text just because, throughout the day or year, brings a smile to her face and can go a long way. So, flowers, roses, candy, and cards are good on Valentine’s Day, a day someone set aside for that reason, but what about a Valentine’s Day for her in January, March, June, etc. --let every month be a Value-Tines Day for her. Again, let her know she is valuable and worth a lot to you every day. Amen!To GOD be the Glory!

Yes, LORD!! Just know by you saying Yes to GOD; Yes, GOD, I will go; Yes, LORD, I will say it; Yes, LORD, I will give it; Yes, LORD, I will do it --with your willingness to say “Yes, GOD” and GOD’s willingness to use you as HIS chosen vessel, do you know it will allow some hurting or needy person to say Amen to GOD –all due to GOD using you to deliver HIS message to them as an answer to their prayers. In our message today, “Your Yes- is Someone Else’s Amen”( https://youtu.be/PG1FA4vdyuQ ), we speak on how one person being obedient and saying Yes to GOD allowed another to say Amen to GOD.

It is Wednesday and it’s a New Year which represents new beginnings for us all. We are excited to be back and able to share some new messages with you, as GOD lays them on our hearts to do so. We know 2020 and the beginning of 2021 has been difficult for many of us with so many lost loved ones, friends and family members (just over 540,000 at the time of this message). Our heartfelt love and sympathy go out to all of you and our sincerest prayers go up for you. Know we here at aajpod are with you, share your grief, and send our love to you. The New Year of 2021 is here, and we would all like to forget about what happened to all of us in 2020. Together we all experienced and shared something new and different in our lives; we stayed sheltered in place (most of us), we stayed home from work, we stayed away from friends and family, home schooled your children, had limited contact with the outside world and less physical touch (hugs and handshakes) from friends and family. Life in 2020 was a change from the norms -- it brought something new to all of us, who took/take the pandemic seriously. Life as we had lived it in 2019, and prior, changed drastically but now 2021 has arrived and with it hope for something better (46) and different than 2020. It will not be the same as the year we have just come out of because know each New Year brings forth new beginnings and potential new creations for us all. Please know each year marks a new season, a new fresh anointing, a new overflow, a new purpose, a new plan, and a new you in CHRIST. If we look in the Bible, when GOD freed the Israelites from the grip and bondage of the Egyptian Pharaoh, parting the Red Sea so they could walk through a wet sea on dry ground to freedom -- understand what HE did for them was a new beginning, a fresh new start away from Egypt, and new creations as free men and women who were no longer slaves. Today, in 2021, GOD is doing the same things for you and me. We have a fresh start and the ability to rid ourselves of the ills that held us captive in 2020 (45 and the Corona Virus).This New Year of 2021 will bring new beginnings and with these new beginnings GOD can and is willing to bring forth new creations for those who desire and seek it. Lastly, GOD is a GOD of new beginnings and HE smiles down on us when we allow HIM to create us anew. In this New Year, I ask you to allow GOD to make you better than you were last year -- for those of you who have not yet started their Christian journey or are tethering on the proverbial fence, I ask you get off of it and fully commit to GOD for the next 30 days, not half way in but all the way in, sold out in, and watch HIM change your life. Amen. We here at aajpod thank you for your time, we pray health, strength, comfort blessings, and healing to all of you.

Truth must Prevail: In light of all that’s taking place this week, the impeachment trial of Donald Trump, we Christians have to be ever mindful of who we are loyal to, follow, obey, praise and worship. It must be GOD and not a man, not a politician, nor a political party, but the One and Only True Living GOD, the FATHER of Our Savior JESUS CHRIST, and the ONE who endows us with HIS HOLY SPIRIT. We must not forget that! As believers, the one thing that we must stand for is “Truth”. We must stand on and pride ourselves in it, just as our LORD and Savior JESUS CHRIST is Draped in it --with scripture reminding us; “I am the way, the Truth and the life”, (John 14:6). And there’s one thing we can be sure of, we’ll never hear a lie enter HIS mouth nor leave HIS lips. So, as Christians, we cannot or shouldn’t be supporters, followers or excuse-makers for the lies of anyone. But we must always be seekers, followers, and believers of the truth. Therefore, in today’s message “Lies, Truth, & Promises (Where Do You Stand)” - Part 1 of 3 ( https://youtu.be/P2RzoZ91VT0 ), we ask Christians this very simple question: in this partisan politically charged environment where our elected officials are attempting to make lying the new norm, Where Do You Stand -- For the Lies, Or for Truth and Promise? Because know you can’t stand for JESUS’ Truth, Believe GOD for HIS promises, and accept and support Satan’s lies. You must make a choice, one side or the other! We here at aajpod love you, appreciate your continued support and pray that you will stand with us for Truth- the Truth that has set us free! Amen!

It’s a Spirit-filled, Breakthrough, and Blessings Wednesday; and we hear at aajpod pray that you are in the group that’s receiving them this week. Amen! As Christians, we all face battles with the enemy and his evil spirits that attack us. But can I say in addition to the battle you face daily with the devil, do you know there’s even a greater war and conflict that you’ll face every minute of every day, and it’s the war/battle/conflict with your flesh. The war with your flesh is and will be the most hostile one you will ever face as a Christian because it walks with you daily, it talks with you, it eats with you, and it sleeps with you every night (it doesn’t miss one). There’s not a time in your life that he/she is not with you -- whispering in your ear, sharing with you its desires and pleasures that it seeks and craves. Especially, the ones in this world that it has been exposed to, has tasted, and indulged in. Each of ours is a little different, but the same fruit, from the same tree, of the same sinful world (Selah). Although, now many of us have been saved, have accepted JESUS as our LORD and Savior, and are now Spirit-Filled (with the HOLY GHOST), the one thing that still remains from our pre-saved lives is our flesh -- its influence and its constant reminders of that prior life we once lived. Please, make no mistake about it, the flesh, your flesh, my flesh, your friends' flesh, and your parents' flesh have and will never stop attempting to tempt you to go back to the pleasures it once enjoyed. No one is exempt from this war with the flesh, it doesn’t care or matter if you are a Pastor, a Bishop, a pew sitter, or a practitioner, anointed, appointed, called or recalled; we all face the same daily flesh wars. In today’s message, “Taming The Flesh (So The Spirit Can Lead)” https://youtu.be/XkMsel1BNm8 , we tackle the topics of “The War With the Flesh, The Power of The Flesh, The Taming of the Flesh, and A Spirit Lead Flesh”. Again, we believe another relevant message for these days and times. Amen! Know we here at aajpod love you and thank you for your continued support. We truly appreciate your help in spreading the Word of GOD! We are thankful to all of you for taking the time to fellowship with us!

As the world we’ve all known has drastically “Changed” around us -- living in a healthcare pandemic, the growing effects of an economic crisis, as well as racial charged protests throughout the nation -- our daily lives have “Changed” significantly. During times like these, it is imperative that each of us take a look at ourselves and see what we can do to “Change” for the better in this season of the unknown and unfamiliar. Due to what we all are presently facing, we know life in America as we once knew it will never be the same. Our very existence here has “Changed.” Especially, as it pertains to Racial Injustices, Discriminatory Practices, Policing Policies, Wealth Inequalities, Bank Lending Discrimination, White Privilege, Housing Discrimination, Educational Inequalities, Bigotry, and Systemic Racism – these things can and will never be tolerated again. These things must “Change”, as our very lives have “Changed”. Regardless of one’s race, creed, gender, or color, I pray we all can agree upon, speak out against, stand up for, and bond together for all these needed “Changes” to take place. In these crucial times, let us not forget the history of this country. What we are all embarking on now is just the continuation of a fight that started a long time ago. A fight for and in pursuance of freedom, justice and equality -- dating back to Tubman, to Douglas, to Parks, to Martin, to Malcom, and to today’s BLM movement. Let us not forget about all the others; black, white, brown, yellow and Indian people who have marched, fought, been bitten by dogs, beaten, bleed, and died for what we are seeking today. I believe, this movement towards “Change”, has to continue to be a collective effort by all of us as it demands a measure of “Change” from each individual and we cannot demand “Change” across the board from everyone else and every institution without seeing where we, ourselves, can “Change”, too. I believe for real “Change” to take place and to be sustainable, we all must love each other more, support each other more, listen to each other more, and kill each other no more. We have to “Change” our interactions, our relationships, our perception of one another and begin seeing human beings created in the Image of GOD and not skin color – remember the Bible never assigned a skin color to GOD or JESUS, that was man’s doing. If we read the Bible, it is contrary to the imagery of JESUS that has been portrayed here in America -- please take a minute and read Revelation 1:12-15. If we can get past the color and inequality that exist, Together Our Voices are Louder, Our Influence Far Reaching, Our Power Unlimited, and Our Potential Limitless!As we continue to stand and fight together and when this fight for “Change” produces its warranted end, and it will, what are we going to do with this “Change?” I believe if we do not all “Change” our thought processes and hearts, we will most definitely end up in a different place but not necessarily a better place. I see a divided place -- as we see some already attempting to bring about division and trying to capitalize politically on this “Change” movement, calling it a movement of hate, lack of patriotism, a divisive message of us against them. They are not understanding or acknowledging that this is a movement of inclusion, equality, justice, togetherness, a needed and necessary movement of “Change”. So, we must collectively rebuke and stand against people like this who want to take America back or keep America in the awful state it is in for people of color. Again, rebuke the devils who are against “Change.”

It is Wednesday and our prayers are that we have found you in good health, spirits and your trust in GOD remains steadfast. We all have been living and experiencing change in our daily lives for the past year and a half and many of us have been going into, coming out of, or going through something in the form of attacks from the enemy on a regular basis. That seems to be the theme of most people’s lives today but that should not be anything new to Christians -- that is part of our Christian Journey, seemingly more so in last year in half than ever before. But I ask you not to be dismayed, because scripture says, “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers (sisters) throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings” (1Peter 5:8-9). Through this scripture, GOD is reminding some and informing others that what you are going through is not exclusive to you, many others are going into, coming out of, or going through the same pains, heartaches, troubles, and issues that you and I are. You are not alone and for GOD to say it in scripture indicates HE is aware of the suffering you are experiencing. Amen. Therefore, because HE is aware of it, HE sends you this message “Cast all your anxiety on HIM because HE loves (cares) for you” (1 Peter 5:7). In these difficult/stressful times for many, GOD wants and desires that you cast all your concerns, stressing, anxiety and worry on HIM, because HE cares about and loves you. But be reminded to cast, means it takes some effort, action, and energy. Like a fisherman casting a line into the water, effort, action, and energy, (work) is needed from us. Because scripture tells some and reminds others - “Faith without works is dead!” (James 2:17). So, there must be some work on your behalf in this fight against the enemy -- here is something you can do while you are in a battle with the enemy; stand on these very words - GOD has told me that “The Enemy Doesn’t Stand a Chance Against Me”. Say it with boldness and stand on it in faith as you continue to stay in prayer to GOD. Prayer, faith and standing on GOD’s Word are some of the main tools in your Christian toolbox to use to encourage and remind yourself in the midst of a battle, who you are and whose you are! You are the Victor! Not a Victim. But unfortunately, so many people allow the enemy to fool, trick, hood-wink, and bamboozle them into thinking that they do not stand a chance against him. Please know this is utterly not so! Scripture tells some, reminds others, and informs the uninformed that you have the Victory in CHRIST JESUS. You always have and you always will if you stay connected, prayerful, faithful, trusting, and standing on what GOD has spoken to you in HIS Word. Please allow me to remind you of a few things HE has promised those who believe: “you are more than conquerors” (Romans 8:37), “the battle is not yours, it is the LORD’S” (2 Chronicles 20:15), “no weapon formed against you shall prosper” (Isaiah 54:27). Now, first understand, to be a conqueror there must be opposition. Secondly, for the LORD to fight a battle for you there must be one against you. Lastly, to prosper against a weapon, a weapon must be raised against you. In all the scriptures, battles, attacks, wars, or weapons are coming at and against you, but in all of them in the end, they all speak of your victory. So, when the enemy comes in like a flood against you, multiple attacks at the same time, remember this “They Don’t Stand a Chance Against You”, you are a victor not a victim in all the battles the enemy brings your way. Believe that and stand firm on it, regardless of or despite what you are seeing or are experiencing, because in the end you will have the victory if you hold on. Amen

We pray, as Wednesday has rolled around again and the world seems to be opening back up, that everyone continues to proceed with caution and remain diligent in doing what’s right to stay safe and to protect the safety of others. We all must not only think of ourselves and our own safety but the safety of others as well. Because, what this pandemic has hopefully shown us is that as large as this world appears to be, it’s smaller than we think and we are all connected, dependent, and tied to one another. I believe GOD planned it that way, so we would all work together to achieve HIS ultimate plan for HIS world. Peace, Love and Unity!Just as a hummingbird is dependent on the flower for nectar and to live- the flower is just as dependent on the hummingbird to take, drop, and spread seeds of nectar in order for the flower to continue to reproduce. Their purposes and GOD’s plan for their very existence are not independent they are intra-dependent of/on one another. Do you know GOD has designed, created, purposed, and planned our lives and existence in the exact same manner? We are purposed and provided a GOD given plan for our lives that’s intra-dependent /connected and tied to each other.If we look throughout the bible, we find that connection and intra-dependence is the general theme of everyone’s life that GOD chose to do great things through and to-- David’s life was tied to and dependent on Goliath, Jonathan , Saul, Bathsheba, and Uriah in route to GOD’s planned purpose for his life. Ruth’s life was tired to Naomi, Boaz, to Obed, and eventually part of the lineage of JESUS. The life of Joseph was connected and dependent on his brothers, Potiphar, Potiphar’s wife, the warden, the baker, the cupbearer, in route to his planned purpose in the palace. This theme goes all the way to JESUS - HIS life connected to the twelve disciples and yes, even Pontus Pilot. Lives, plans, and purposes given to each by GOD- connected and intra-dependent upon one another. (Note: Even the bad actors that come about in your life are part of the plan, because their contributions will eventually work for your good as well. Romans 8:28. Know haters will become your elevators and footstools for you to step on in order for you to go higher) In GOD’s grand plan and purpose, we are not independent contractors called to do work for GOD on our own, by ourselves or singularly. No, GOD’s plan and purpose for your/our lives is bigger than that, generally too big to carry out alone. If you can carry out or accomplish GOD’s planned purpose for your life alone, you are probably not hearing HIM fully, the plan has not fully been realized or has not fully materialized. Understand, even JESUS was connected to 12 then another 72 that He sent out to assist in spreading the Word in route to JESUS’ planned purpose. We all are Connected to others we know, don’t know or may not have even met as of yet.I have come to discover in my Christian journey that GOD’s plan and purpose for my life is too big to be carried out alone. It is like the hand trying to accomplish something without the wrist, fingers, elbow, and shoulders assistance. Just as our body was created and designed by GOD to work best when all of the parts are working in unison -- our lives and connections to others is exact the same. Things move a lot smoother when we work together with the people GOD has placed in our lives to work with. In this week’s message “HIS Purpose for You Is Connected to Others”, you will hear about how GOD’s plan for us is to work together to accomplish what HE has assigned, called, planned and purposed for us to do. Amen!

As the days of 2022 are swiftly passing and the months are seemingly passing faster than ever, the first Wednesday of May is already upon us – where the showers of April has brought forth the blossoming flowers of May. We are prayerful that you are seeing GOD blossom something in your life as well. Because if you have been sowing in tears the last few months, know GOD has seen them and is capable of drying crying eyes and bringing forth blessings out of/from despair. Please be reminded we serve a GOD that is capable and able of doing all things – we serve a Holy and worthy GOD, worthy of all our Praises. AmenAs stated, the GOD we serve is HOLY, has always been, and will always be HOLY. Unlike man, (you and I), who is described by scripture as being like filthy rags. Our righteousness and holiness are bestowed on us by Almighty GOD. But even when we are deemed righteous and holy, HE is still working on us, progressing us, and we are striving not only to become better daily but to hold to the standard GOD has set before us. As stated, GOD is the ONE, based on HIS Word, that deems us holy and righteous; therefore, we can draw the conclusion that none of us has always been so righteous or holy. We all were someone and something else before GOD found, rescued, delivered, saved, redeemed, and deemed us HIS children. Amen. And for that we all should be glad, grateful, and thankful that GOD has shown each of so much grace and mercy – while waiting patiently for us to come out of our foolishness, sinful living, and being everything but what HE created us to be.In our message today we ask you to reflect on; where you were, who you were, what you were doing, how you were living, and what condition you were in when GOD found you. I know many Christians try to forget the condition they were in before CHRIST and attempt to make others believe they have always been the person GOD has created them to be and are today. To me that is so unfortunate – not only do you nullify your own testimony and witnessing, in addition you are nullifying the glory GOD can get from transforming/morphing you from a filthy rag into a towel that’s whiter than snow.Also, within that self- reflection we also ask you to look at young people today and see yourself – you were them not too long ago and remember the generation before us who attempted to beat and force feed religion to us only to cause some to rebel against JESUS. It was only in your own time and season when you opened your heart to HIM, not on someone else’s timetable. So often is the case today. We ask – have you become your grandparents or parents doing the very same things to your children now? Our message simple yet so profound – “You Haven’t Always Been That HOLY – Everyone Use To Be Something and Someone Else” asks you to glance back at who you were before you were saved and think about today’s young people, as well as, speaks on the before lives of some of the popular biblical figures in the bible. In closing, we ask that you take a minute, actually 27, to listen to the message and when you finish hearing we hope reflection will bring about change. Change in your approach, if you’re not Christlike, in bringing young people into the fold and bosom of CHRIST. We believe it will be through the CHRIST lived out through you that will draw others in – including your own/grown children. Live and love out your walk in front of them that they may see your light shining – “The Holy You”, and not the meanness, evilness and/or vile language from your lips – “The Other You”. Let your lips spew fresh waters of encouragement, inspiration, sound instruction and uplifting. “If I be lifted up I will draw all men” –lift HIM up in how you live and love in your daily life and others will come to CHRIST through you.

Greeting to our aajpod Family Wednesday is here again, and we find ourselves with a Word of GOD in our bellies, burning to come out. We pray your week has been good and your relationship with GOD has only gotten closer, where you can hear what the SPIRIT is saying to the Church (you). As evil, hatred and devilish deeds are becoming the norm and being accepted by a large percentage of the country, including Evangelical. It’s time for the rest of us to begin speaking up and out against what is and has transpired in the USA. Because these actions only grow when one is silent. For the reason it needs to be said the extreme threat of terrorism isn’t from abroad but are right here in this country in the form of White Extremist! Begin lead and feed by a shrinking in numbers, ideas, morals, character, and diversity Republican Party. We all see so Speak Up and Out, I am! It is imperatives that one speaks up and out with boldness and confidence when GOD places a Word in your Spirit. As scripture says, “Say to them this is what the Sovereign LORD says…” Ezk 3:4 It’s amazing to me that we can go to the Throne of Grace with Boldness, to GOD, but are afraid to speak truth to power to a mere man. Why is that? Because we have some coward Christians in our midst as well as imposters. Ones who claim to be Christians in speech, but actions never line up with behavior or deeds. Along with the cowards who are afraid of their own shadows. We see a sports league wiling to hold a young basketball ball player accountable for his actions, in which they should, but a country/a Republican Party won’t hold an ex-President accountable for anything he says or does. It’s time to Speak Up and Out about the wrongs that are taking place around this country. A man found liable for Sexual Battery isn’t disqualifying for running for President then what is? And people at a recent Town Hall laughing with him as he again saying defamatory things about the victim- defaming her again! What is wrong with people and human decency? This has become a pattern, rewarding bad behavior and no one speaking out about it. A pattern look no further than the Supreme Court and the men on it that had been accused of Sexual Offenses against woman, but still appointed to the highest court in the land. Look what a mess the court has become. Character matters, integrity matters, being morally sound matters and people Speaking Up and Out against injustice and wrong matters too. As for the Church Folks we cannot forget about them, the ones who are supposed to be the moral and righteousness of GOD. Who are supposed to be the shining light of the hill, the lamp on the bed stand. Well, many have turned off the light on the hill and retreated into the caves and placed their lamps under their beds. Real Talk! They are in Church all week proclaiming faith, around the church, but work outside of it especially if it’s speaking up and out outside the four walls of the sanctuary, they are like the church mice living in the attic. I ask what has happened to Christians? Why are they so afraid and timid? Have they forgotten who their FATHER is? WHO holds all the power, WHO has their backs, WHO gives them the Words to speak and WHO fights their battles? In today’s message “Speak it To Them (Whether They Listen or Not?) GOD called on a man to go speak to roughneck, stubborn, obstinate people on HIS behalf. Just as HE is asking you and I to do so today. I’m doing my part if I have to do it all alone! I ask are you willing to do yours and Speak Up and Out?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-g-D9qDZXUhttps://open.spotify.com/show/2yS3ZziuVcQGPXJe03F5nM?si=93f5d8bd9936445eW/Love Jerome

Unknowingly Submission WednesdayGood Wednesday to you! We are excited about being blessed to be able to share a Word of GOD with you. We pray that you’ve had a marvelous week and have continued to study, listen, pray and read- in order to continue to get closer and closer to GOD. In getting closer to HIM, it will allow you to know HIM in a greater way and truly knowing HIM will allow you to submit and commit to HIM on a higher level. Knowing GOD is good, but committing and submitting to GOD is even better which leads to obeying HIM. That is where HE desires all of us to be. Understand truly living for GOD requires commitment, submission, and obedience.So, Today I ask you this one simple question, who are you or have you submitted to? And I know most all will say they I have to GOD, but truth be told- that false! In today's society we see people are willing to submit and commit to people that are unbecoming of such power being wielded over others. Because power being given and submission to these kinds of people are always abused. This is not only in society(publicly) but more importantly it is something that is taking place in many homes and relationships today. It has become so prevalent that we see divorce rates skyrocketing, spousal abuse rising, as well as mass murders of family-by-family members. So, unfortunate for all involved and all who are left behind to have to live with all of it. Can I say today we have submission and commitment problems in our society. We often hear I did not know he/she was like that! So, today in our message “Unknowingly Submitting to A Headless Head” we want to speak about submission of and committing to the unsubmitted and the uncommitted. Simply stated be careful and mindful to whom you are submitting and committing yourself too. If they have not submitted or committed to GOD should you truly be committed or submitted to them. Just a question we all need to ask ourselves.As always, we truly appreciate your support and your help in spreading the Word of GOD! We are thankful to all of you for taking the time to fellowship with us! And don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube Channel and check out our website, where you can sign up for updates. We pray that you are blessed, your submission and commitment to GOD continues to grow to higher levels.To GOD be theGlory!!www.aajpod.org#aajpod#allaboutjesus#all_about_jesus#all_about_jesus_podcast#jesushttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMx7wrahXVQ

Praiseworthy WednesdayGreetings to our aajpod family, we are thankful and grateful to be back with you and carrying a Word of GOD in our Spirits to share with you. We hope that we have found you in good health, spirits, joy and strength to overcome all that we are dealing with today. And even you find yourself in a uncomfortable or unfamiliar place in your life, our GOD is still GOD; worthy to be believed, trusted, and praised. Know HE will see you through whatever you’re going through.As human beings we all have things and people we are fond of. But we can never allow fondness of people or things to turn into worship or praising of them. We have seen in recent years people have been killed, gone to jail, and participated in an insurrection. Due to the following of one person and his lies. They allowed their fondness to turn into worship and cult like devotion to a man, who is not worthy of it, never has been worthy of it, and will never be worthy of praise and/or worship. No mortal man is worthy of that!In today’s message we want to share with you and talk to you about a Someone who is “Praiseworthy”. And unlike any man on this earth, HE and HE alone is Worthy of all our worship and praise. And allow me to say this to you, if you find yourself in some difficult times, hardship or trouble— take some time to praise and worship your way out of it. Praising and worshipping not a man or things but lift them up to the One True GOD. Who is able to do what man cannot. Amen.As always, we truly appreciate your support and your help in spreading the Word of GOD! We are thankful to all of you for taking the time to fellowship with us! We here at aajpod thank you for your time, we pray health, strength, comfort, blessings, and healing to all of you.With Love, JeromeTo GOD be the Glory!!Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube Channel, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and check out our website, where you can sign up for updates.To GOD be the Glory!!https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-all-about-jesus-podcast/id1649815172https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=profile&section=usernamehttps://open.spotify.com/show/2yS3ZziuVcQGPXJe03F5nM?si=76f08732bef8442ahttps://youtu.be/dwJQnuKioiQwww.aajpod.org#aajpod #allaboutjesus #all_about_jesus #all_about_jesus_podcast

Today, by the grace of GOD, we are blessed with the opportunity to share our first message of this New Year with you. We believe that it is a relevant one for this New Year and New Decade that we, as Christians, are entering. With my last statement the word New appeared twice in explaining what is taking place in this present time -- as we know, GOD speaks it once and then confirms HIS word. So, with emphasis and confirmation being placed on the word New as we enter 2020, a new year and a new decade --a Word has been placed in my Spirit to share with Christians and it’s this -- “Something New is Upon Us” https://youtu.be/FRsm0_2uNDoScripture reminds us that no one pours new wine into an old wineskin -- Mark 2:22. Therefore, as GOD is ready to do something new, it then requires us to do something new as well. We must become the new wineskin spoken about in the aforementioned scripture, because we know if you do the “same ole, same ole”, you’re going to get the “same ole” results. Therefore, in order to get something new you must be willing to do something new! So, as 2020 starts and this new decade begins, I ask you to do something new with your commitment to GOD; more time spent seeking HIM, praying to HIM, talking with HIM, listening to HIM, seeking HIS will, being more obedient to HIM and allowing HIM to love others more thru you. Understand doing the new brings about new and I believe deep down in my soul, GOD is bringing forth a New Thing Upon Us, if we are willing to commit anew!Lastly, I know many of you have shed many tears over the past years, for many reasons, while waiting on the promises, blessings, and harvest of GOD to come to pass in your lives. To all of you, I’ve come to tell you the tears that you shed have not been in vain or not gone unnoticed, they are being stored in heaven in jars (Psalm 56:8), as well as, being used as water for the seeds that you have been sowing (Psalm 126) -- seeds that were sown into the lives of others while many of you were still in need and living in lack yourselves. But, know your obedience to the prompting of the HOLY SPIRIT has positioned for your tear watered seeds to come into the season of a new harvest increase. As scripture says “For GOD is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, HE will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you”, 2 Corinthians 9:10 (New Living Translation). Please know this year marks a new season, a new fresh anointing, a new overflow, a new purpose, a new plan, and a new you in CHRIST. Allow me to leave you with this GOD is bringing forth something New Upon Us and that New Starts with you. Have an awesome week and may GOD’s blessings rain down upon you and yours.Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube Channel and check out our website, where you can sign up for updates.To GOD be the Glory!!www.aajpod.org#aajpod #allaboutjesus #all_about_jesus #all_about_jesus_podcastPart 2 of 2 - https://youtu.be/XjQz9gCR7dw

We, here at aajpod, are so excited about this coming New Year. It is our belief (and our message this week “Divorcing the Spirits of Fear and Doubt” https://youtu.be/CtLK0hcl8qE), that as we all move into 2020 and the start of a New Decade, that we must leave some things and people behind -- in essence, we must divorce them from our lives. Moreover, as it pertains to your Spiritual life, divorcing the spirits that have held you back from doing all GOD had asked you to do, becoming all HE has called you to become, as well as, you stepping out of the proverbial boat (your comfort zone) HE has asked you to step out of and you’ve remained in -- all due to the enemy’s spirits of fear and doubt. Mainly, fear of the unknown or the uncomfortable; and doubting it will work out and doubting GOD HIMSELF --that’s what holds many Christians back from being all they can be and doing all GOD has called them to do. “GOD did you really say that", “But what if”, “I don’t speak eloquently enough”, excuses and apprehension conjured up from fearful and doubting spirits within. Today, if GOD has given you an assignment, it’s time to carry it out; if GOD has called you to something, it’s time you answer that calling; if GOD has given you a vision or dream, it’s time you begin walking in it; if GOD has told you to do something, it's time you do it. And if you don’t know what GOD is calling or asking you to do, it’s time you go to HIM and ask and let HIM know you’re ready and available. “Here am I, send me LORD.” This is the decade and year that Christians have to divorce the enemy’s spirits of doubt, fear, procrastination, and complacency -- let’s get to work being about our FATHER’s Business. In closing, we thank you for your assistance in spreading the Gospel in 2019, but we all are looking and believing GOD for more in 2020, so we pray that you will continue in assisting to do more, as we move forward in faith and trust. Again, it’s time to divorce fear and doubt, letting them know you have no space or place in my life, boo! In this New Year and Decade, we pray that you begin believing and planning on Living Your Best Life in CHRIST. Amen! We here at aajpod want to wish you a Happy New Year and we speak blessing, victory, and purpose into and over your life in 2020. Amen! Be blessed!

Greetings to our aajpod family, We are back, after a little break. We believe everyone needs a little break occasionally in order to refresh, reboot, and recharge to come fresher and better. We missed being able to share GOD’s word with you but again, we are back and are delighted to be here with you to share a message.There are so many times people are compelled to try to fit in or are ostracized for not fitting into the box others want them too. As we just saw in the Women’s National Championship Game, where social media attempted to lambaste the LSU player for doing the same thing the Iowa player did. One praised for it and the other attacked for it. I say to the LSU player be you, you don’t have to be what others want you to be. Many times, they don’t understand your calling, purpose, or reasoning for doing what you do. I say as long as you’re not hurting anyone else, in what you’ve been purposed to do, be like Nike and just do it. Because everyone Isn’t created to fit in - - some were created to stand out. Are you the one that has been and are doing it or are you the one who has been created to do it but are afraid because what backlash you may encounter. I say be like Joseph, read his story if you don’t know it, knowing haters will hate, doubter will doubt, and the jealous will continue to be jealous…but regardless of what they may do you just keep being you. Stand out and don’t try to fit in, you weren’t created too!Long hair, short hair, your hair or weaved hair, short lashes, no lashes, fake lashes or store-bought lashes; live out the story and purpose GOD designed and created you to live. Use your platform to elevate others but not spread or tolerate hate from ones that may differ from you. Being created differently calls for you to sometimes act differently and in doing so others will attack you due to it. But don’t be dismayed or deterred it is par to your course and designed journey. Change doesn’t happen without making some people uncomfortable, act out of character, show who they really are or make outlandish comments. Understand, you being quiet allows them to keep the status quo as they determine, but speaking out ruffles feathers and brings out they’re true feelings, thus exposing the prejudice that has always laid right beneath the surface. Remember, GOD’s Purposed people weren’t created to fit in but to stand out. In today’s messages we speak on this very topic “You Weren’t Created to Fit In (But to Stand Out”. And I am here to say I’m unapologetically me; One GOD has called, anointed, appointed, favored, and created to Stand out not fit in. Amen We here at aajpod thank you for your support and assisting us in spreading the Word of GOD to the masses. Share our link with family, friends, and foe alike- they too need JESUS. Again, we are humbled, grateful and pray GOD’s favor and blessings in and over your lives. Amen!Congratulations LSU Lady Tigers…And to AR #10 Continue to be Unapologetically You and Stand Out!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSZ5NMueF2shttps://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=profile&section=usernameThank you, w/ Love Jerome "To GOD be The Glory" aajpod.org

As we all gather with friends and family on this Christmas holiday season, let’s all take time to remember the reason for this season, the birth of JESUS CHRIST. And while doing that, let’s take time to reflect and be thankful for all God has done for us thus far. And please take a moment to listen to this week’s message – “HE Still Loves You That Much” https://youtu.be/HjC9ZCYbvOE From all of us here at aajpod, we wish you all a very merry Christmas! As always, we truly appreciate your support and your help in spreading the Word of GOD! We are thankful to all of you for taking the time to fellowship with us!

Another Wednesday is upon us but not just any Wednesday-- it’s the one before Thanksgiving. I know many of us have experienced many different things in our lives during 2019 -- loss of friends, mothers, and other loved ones; in addition, jobs lost, new jobs obtained, marriages, divorces, moves to new cities, steps of faith that have taken you out of your comfort zones and others taking steps to get closer to GOD. Whichever the case, some good things and some perceived not so good ones have taken place this year changing or altering your life in one way or another. I know that when life-changing events come about it can make you focus on it solely but in today’s message, ”LORD, I’m Thankful “, https://youtu.be/AW7eCRFy8KE , we want to highlight that regardless or despite not having all that we want, not having all we think we need, nor things working out exactly as we would desire them to; we all have something to be thankful to GOD for. I believe if all of us would be more focused on what we do have and stop focusing so much on and highlighting what we don’t, it would be easier for more people to be Thankful to GOD in their present situations. Because rest assured there’s someone out there that has less than you do, going through more than you are, and they’re praying for what you’re complaining about. Amen! In addition to us sharing a Word on this teaching this week, we have been blessed to have some special guests from our aajpod family who have come to share some Words of thankfulness with us. As always, we truly appreciate your support and your help in spreading the Word of GOD! We are thankful to all of you for taking the time to fellowship with us!

Glorious Wednesday to you all! We are thankful to GOD for allowing us to awaken to see another day and that HE arms us with a message that we believe is necessary and relevant to share with you. In today’s message, “Words That Cut Deep (Left Unattended They Can Kill) “ https://youtu.be/62u1BDHoWDc , we want to take a look at the power of your words -- the devastating effect they can have on people, on children from the mouths of their parents, and how to overcome the negative words that have been spoken to and over you. Did you know words carry great power and there’s power within your very words? Please know this simple truth, if you speak in faith your words can move mountains; in Scripture, JESUS’ Words caused a fig tree to wither and GOD’s Words created all The Heavens and Earth -- and all these things are possible and occurred by mere words being spoken. So, do you see how powerful words are and can be? Just as we see the power of words, and them being used by GOD, know that the enemy also knows the power of words and he uses them for his benefit and for the detriment of you and me. In essence, what I’m saying is, words carry a great deal of power and can be used in a negative or positive way. They can be used to build up or tear down, encourage or discourage, to lift one’s spirit or to destroy it. These shifts are all contingent on who’s guiding your life and influencing your thoughts, thus controlling the words rolling off your tongue. Amen!As always, we truly appreciate your support and your help in spreading the Word of GOD! We are thankful to all of you for taking the time to fellowship with us!

It’s Wednesday, the day that the LORD has made, so let’s be glad in it and rejoice. We pray that we have found you in good health, spirits, and with uplifted hearts. If not, please remember whatever is causing you uneasiness or pain didn’t come to stay; it came to pass.As we speak of trials, tribulations, and tests that come upon all Christians, there is one thing that we have over each and every one of them that infiltrates our lives; it’s the power of Prayer. Many of us have heard that when prayers go up, blessings come down. But allow me to share this with you-- when prayers go up; instructions, directions, assignments, and GOD’s plans come down. I’m a seeker of those things from GOD and to me, that’s where the true blessing of GOD lay. As well, I am a believer that all prayer is necessary and important but also, I believe, that in my life, it is those very early in the morning prayers when I receive my greatest instruction, directions, revelation, and assignments. So in today’s message, “7 Days of Coffee, Cream, and Caffeine In The Morning”, https://youtu.be/jntu3AzkqaQ we will take a look at JESUS’ early morning prayers, the movement in HIS life, HIS assignments, and the instructions HE received from GOD from them.As always, we truly appreciate your support and your help in spreading the Word of GOD! We are thankful to all of you for taking the time to fellowship with us!

We pray that you are just as excited and blessed as we are to see another Wonderful Wednesday. And our hope is that it reaches your heart with the same love that it is leaving our hearts in.The Bible tells us we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of GOD as well as we were born into sin. But what it doesn’t say is we have remained captive, enslaved, and imprisoned by it. That’s one of the reasons JESUS came down to earth to save us and set us free from sin when HIS Precious Blood was shed on Calvary’s Cross. Therefore, through JESUS, each of us has the right and opportunity to be free from any sins that attempt to hold us captive. Simply stated, our sentence to the prison of sin has been commuted, pardoned, and dismissed, thus, setting us free from all condemnation. In today’s message, “Set Free (In Order to Influence and Impact Others)" https://youtu.be/pHy1hbDbdqE , we want to touch on the point of why GOD set you and me free. As well as, to remind some of you that justifying your sin by comparing your sin to the sin of others is a trick of the enemy. Amen!As always, we truly appreciate your support and your help in spreading the Word of GOD! We are thankful to all of you for taking the time to fellowship with us!

It’s Wednesday again and we are blessed to share with you another message. Last week, we spoke to you about walking by insight and not by your natural eyesight, which we believe was a relevant message to share. Today, we want to continue to bring forth a message on a topic we believe needs to be spoken about more often in order to bring clarity to new and mature Christians, alike. Because what I’ve discovered is that many Believers become impatient and fail to understand GOD is a GOD of process, order, and preparation. What I mean by that is HE has a process in which HE does things, it’s always done in the order that GOD decides, and HE doesn’t do anything through you until HE’s fully prepared you for it. Our message this week, “Waiting On Your Next Set of Instructions is Pivotal” https://youtu.be/vNBXxH-4jhY, speaks of that as it pertains to how GOD gives instructions to HIS chosen vessels. In it, we will attempt to walk you through the instructional process that Noah had to go through before he, his family, and animals boarded the ark before the coming flood. As well as the covenant GOD made with him.As always, we truly appreciate your support and your help in spreading the Word of GOD! We are thankful to all of you for taking the time to fellowship with us!
