The GOD that I serve is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient one (and only). When something tragic happens one will have to encourage oneself to Press / Persevere for HE is all knowing and has ALL power. As hard as it may sound you have got to forgive (the enemy will bring it up constantly to see what your level of strength is all day everyday(he feels that he has power over you when you choose not to forget)). Call on JESUS at those much needed times. HE/GOD will strengthen your heart; I PROMISE.
FOR GOD IS LOVE,
Encouraged.

It is a benefactor for those that use the placenta of dead babies to rejuvenate thier bodies for youthful vanity. Think about. We are always the last to know about these things. If Kristofer Reid had not had his accident I know that I wouldn’t have had a clue.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: About Over Eating.
As a christian we try to have it all together, but as the word says we all fall short everyday. We all have short coming including over eating. Sometime I do it just because it looks good and I want to know how it taste.

I am sure that the lady that emailed you thought that you would say be strong in your walk for straight and narrow is the way. Narrow-minded / low-esteem people are of all shapes and forms. Numerous time my Pastor has commented that he himself is a work in progress.
I think that the woman that commented in the first hour is correct. Some people grow up in nurturing families and some not. People will comment to you she is so lucky, then will lie on you.
Just remember that straight and narrow is the path that GOD has forged for all when HIS bullies whipped him all night, nailed HIM to the Cross, pierced HIM in HIS side, placed a crown of thorns on his head, and after all that gave him vinegar to drink before HE uttered those three PROPHETIC words IT IS FINISH.
Walk on and walk strong all who are bearing a cross.
JESUS DID.
Luv.

Mr. Hunter,
Shalom Aleikhem!
I heard your show today and the segment where the gentleman called in and said he did not have ANY problems BECAUSE HE TRUSTS G_D. Your subsequent callers quoted one particular Holy Scripture, “Cast your burdens and care upon ME…”.
First I would like to say, you cannot rebuke the gentleman’s testimony of THE WORK G_D is doing in his life. He, like Peter, allowed the outside influences to PUT DOUBT IN HIS HEART regarding The Perfect Work Being Completed In him By G_D. Second, the Holy Scripture is taken out of text when you do not Identify Who the MESSIAH was talking to AND Why. “CAST…”, TRUSTING FAITHFULLY, REQUIRES DOING IT ONE TIME, AND TRUSTING THAT IT IS DONE. The MESSIAH DIDN’T SAY “KEEP CASTING…” BUT if you don’t TRUST, you ARE in need of “KEEP CASTING…” AND THAT IS BONDAGE… Be IT as IT may, When we Walk/Live IN THE PERFECT WILL OF OUR FATHER, LOSING OUR IDENTITY, IT IS HE THAT LIVES… WE ARE INSIGNIFCANT. THEREFORE, “HE WILL PROVIDE FOR HIMSELF, ALL THAT IS NEEDED TO MAKE HIS WILL AND GLORY MANIFEST!” Gen. 22:8 With THAT said, WE NO LONGER HAVE PROBLEMS, THEY ARE ALL HIS PROBLEMS, AND SINCE HE IS YHVH EL SHADDIA, THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS. LOSING A JOB, IS NOT A PROBLEM. IT IS A DOOR THAT G_D OPENED FOR HIMSELF. BEING A STUMBLING BLOCK, THAT’S A PROBLEM.
And IT IS SAD! THAT THIS “Peter” CALLED BACK IN, AND RENOUNCED THE UNDERSTANDING G_D GAVE HIM, AND YIELDED TO WHAT “THE GOYIM’S INTERPRETATION” OF HIS HOLY WORD REVEALED TO HIM. THAT IS VERY SAD….

Mr. Hunter,
I listen to you everyday, here in Houston, Praise 92.1, I love you with all my heart and soul. You are a blessing to everyone. My husband has been out of a job for almost 1 1/2 years, and it’s been a struggle for me and my family. He’s applying for job and going on interviews, but it’s much harder for our black men. I trust in JESUS and know he is going to make a way, and he don’t give us know more than we can bare. He don’t bring us this far just to leave us….. I been at the same job for almost 14 years, and that’s a blessing in itself. But, my reason for emailing you is because I hear you talking about jobs, and that we can go to your website, but I’m not sure if I’m writing it down correctly; can you please let me know what I’m doing wrong? He need a job soon, and my family and I need your prayer warriors to pray for me and my family.
I love you with the love of the Lord, thank you for everything; Have a Happy New Year!
Many Blessings,
Karen

Hello Lonnie,
I need God to move in my families finances. Husband was laid off last April and unfortunately he has not obtained a job. Also I am self employed providing services to low income high risk exectant mothers that at times I don’t even have enough to service my own home. I am asking for a complete overhaul in the business for more than enough for me and my household as I continue to bless others. Please pray that my husband get a new job soon. Thanks

Dear Angels,
I am writing this letter from the bottom of my HEART with the PRAYERS that an ANGEL will respond back to me. My name is Tiffany Gatlin and I am a 40 year old single mother who needs a place to call home for myself and my son Jeremiah. I honestly believe that DEVINE FAVOR IS GOD USING SOMEBODY, SOMEWHERE TO USE THEIR POWER ABILITY AND INFLUENCE TO HELP ME. I also believe in MIRACLES and I need RIGHT NOW MIRACLE of $2,000.00 so that we can move into our home. Our desire is to have this matter of a place to call home for THANKSGIVING.
The reason why I am requesting this HELP is because we have been without a place to call home for several years. And my son needs stability and safety in his life being that he is 12 years old. And I honestly feel within myself that I have failed him in this area of not providing stability and safety. There are many circ**stances for which I can not live with my parents. And if I do not have to go into any details it will be much stress on me to live with them. I just need to have the finances to move in and after this point I will be able to take care of the rest. I am a TEAM MEMBER OF MARY KAY AND ALSO SELL LIFE INSURANCE WITH HELPING HANDS INSURANCE COMPANY.
As I listen to the radio I NO THAT IT AIN’T OVER UNTIL GOD SAYS IT’S OVER!!! So that is the reason I TRUSTING THAT FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPE AND THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN. The request is URGENT BECAUSE MYSELF AND MY SON WILL BE WITHOUT A PLACE TO CALL HOME AFTER THIS WEEK. I WILL LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM AN ANGEL SOON.
You may reach me at 713-429-4470 and as you read this letter will you please reach in your HEART TO RESCUE US!!!
MANY BLESSINGS,
TIFFANY GATLIN
