THE TIME IS RIGHT By S.L. M axw ell-Robles

Have you ever felt in your life that the timing for something was just right? God is so awesome in how he places a want, need, desire or even a inner sense of knowing inside of us all that lets us know when we need to change course or take a turn in direction in our lives.

insight into a situation, allow you to execute moves successfully, and the ability to distinguish between his voice, and that of your own, or that of the enemy. And the more that you are obedient, the more that you learn to listen and follow wisdom and instruction from God, the more you hear God and he will lead you through ALL THINGS!

Now, whether you hear God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit verbatim, or they are simply guiding you specifically to navigate certain waters, guess what?...This occurrence is not only the amazing inheritance of the children of God, but also backed up by scripture!

Praise God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit for being a clear and present "help" and "master strategists" in our lives! Therefore, I want to encourage you on today. If you have a want, a dream, a strong urge or desire, prayerfully go forth and ask God to confirm it as something that is his will and the path he has set forth for your life. Your designated road may not always seem easy, nor immediately clear, but any path planned out for you by our Heavenly Father will be the absolute, and very best plan and path for you to take in your life.

That means, the word of God corroborates this awesome phenomenon! The Bible tells us that: "Behol d, t he f ormer t hings are come t o pass, and t he new t hings do I decl are: bef ore t hey spring f ort h I t el l you of t hem" Isaiah 42:9 (KJV) This is so true! God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit will let us know when something is coming down the pipeline, before it even hits us. So people may like to consider this inner help as their "gut", "feeling", or "intuition", and we do have some of that too, but as a Christian, when you have been Saved, Baptized, and Filled with the Holy Spirit, you know without a shadow of a doubt the difference between them all.

I guarantee it!

God will distinctively, if you allow him, give you an uncanny

" Seize t h e Day " 29

M OTIV A TION By S.L. M axw ell-Robles Motivation. Let's face it, at times, we all need it. You can have a strong desire, deep within their hearts to do something, but unless you are motivated, encouraged, and inspired to do it, that thing may never happen. Oh, and let's not forget the discipline necessary to make it happen as well. As someone who has lived the past 17 years of my life, and most intensively the last 15, walking with God, trust me, I know first hand about God's timing on a situation. God will give you all that you need to run your race and accomplish all the things that he has given you to do in this life time, and well. The more you become obedient, and listen to and trust God, and do his will, the more you will develop a keen since of discipline and the time management skills also needed to handle and achieve all that God has given you to do. However, if you find yourself a somewhat challenged, or just unable to get somethings going, here is a list of suggestions that might help: 1. It's like the song says, "Sometimes you have to encourage yourself in the Lord". So few words could never be truer. Listen and apply. 2. When God tells you something, believe Him! This is something that helps me out consistently. If the odds look insurmountable, and if God tells me I am going to do something, I believe him, and it does get done! Hint: It's God who will orchestrate your every move. Remember, "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord" Psalms 37:23 (KJV). 3. Filter out all things. Advice, opinions of others, extra chatter, non-supportive persons. All things that don't hold a cup of water when it comes to something that is between you and your maker. Weed out those who hold a perceived sense of control over your life and destiny. 31

By S.L. M axw ell-Robles According to vocabulary.com, " Tit he" comes from the Ol d Engl ish word teogotha, which means ?tenth.? I remember when I first got saved and started going to church. I had always heard of and knew about tithing, but I did not know how much it was. I remember calling one of my good friends and asking her how much tithes were and she responded "10% ". I loved that answer! I remember thinking like how perfect is that, and it totally seemed to me just like God to set the tithe at an amount relatively simple for just about anyone to figure out, regardless of your mathematical background. Although I was no budding mathematician, that number set well with me because I knew if I eared $100, then $10 was the amount of tithes that I owed, and not to be confused with, nor include as part of the free will "offering", which are in fact two separates payments, altogether.

Tithing today, in my pastoral, personal, professional, Godly, and Biblical as well as in my belief, opinion, and knowledge, is still so very important. I have heard and read accounts where many Christians today struggle with the issue of whether or not they should pay tithes, and if it's even a requirement for New Testament believers, at all. Many even say they can't afford to pay tithes. In today's climate, you can NOT afford not to pay your tithes and or offerings, unless you just really don't know your Bible. If you are a Christian who is struggling in this area, there are many scripture references you can use to rebute or justify why you are not paying tithes. However, what I do know is Biblical Law, which really is the Law of Reciprocity, and the reason why you see many non-Christians who are unheard of and Blessed beyond your wildest imagination, simply based upon the principals of giving. Don't let a non-Christian out-give you and receive your intended inheritance from the Lord. I'm going to break the act of tithing into three main points for simplistic purposes, as well as clarification purposes. Point 1: It has been well documented and established throughout the Bible that God does not "need" your tithe or offering. In fact, according to Scripture, EVERYTHING belongs to God!: "The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; the world and they that dwell upon it" Psalms 24:1 (KJV). "The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of host" Haggai 2:8 (KJV). "Every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills" Psalms 50:10 (KJV). "If I were hungry, I would not tel the: for the earth is mine and the fullness thereof" Psalms 50:8. I think you get the point. You can't "pay God back", nor can you "out give God", the word is clear, he owns again, everything, including you and me too. Point # 2: Tithing is an act of obedience, as well as a perfect tool and mechanism for you to learn how to live within your means, and also, possess a second major opportunity for you to bless the house of God or the place where you worship as you may need their generosity and benevolent act of kindness one day also. Scripture References: "Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year" Deuteronomy 14:22 (KJV).

"And all thy tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S:it is holy unto the Lord" Leviticus 27:30 (KJV). "Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessings of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee" Deuteronomy 16:17 (KJV). "And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein: That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there" Deuteronomy 26:1-2 (KJV). "This day the Lord thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul" Deuteronomy 26:16 (KJV). Point # 3: The third and final point of tithing and even giving offerings is that much promise and many blessings (and not just financial ones) are not only attached to them, but are also promised by God. On one final note, tithing also teaches us to have reverence for, and a fear of God, our creator, and ultimate source and provider for all, even when we give back. Relevant Scripture References "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the window of heaven, and pur you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it" Malachi 3:10 (KJV). "Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give unto your bosom. For with the same measure that you mete withal it shall be measured to you again" Luke 6:38 (KJV). "It is more blessed to give than to receive" Acts 20:35 (KJV). JESUS

Restoration in life is substantial. After one has survived all of the daily antics that can really put one to the test, you need to have mechanisms in which to recover. The Bible give us plenty of scripture references that specifically address the thought, idea, or act of restoration, which ultimately means to restore order. Are you looking for restoration in your life? Along with taking the time to sit down and write out a list of happenings which are allowing you to become the person who you were truly meant to be, take some time out of your busy day to relax, and enjoy more. Enjoy a cup of coffee, sit somewhere by the lake, go eat a lovely lunch or never tasted before afternoon, indulgent treat while listening to some soft music. Allow for those things which allow for you to restore order and recover from life's daily grind. I promise you won't regret it. Take some time to enjoy life. Stretch out to read a good book, hold someones hand as you walk together next to the trees and enjoy a fresh breeze. Take some time for your self today and allow God to restore order within you.

I first had the pleasure of meeting Evangelist Ann Vincent aka "Ann Victory" via Social Media. I became connected to her page and immediately began following her to have access to and see her daily, Godly, inspiration and messages. Obviously walking in the capacity of a Prophetess and clearly someone whom God/Jesus Christ/The Holy Spirit had delivered and set free, I enjoyed reading her sayings. Each message that she releases are well-crafted, right on time, and from the "mind of God". You have to truly be walking with him and keeping his commandments to deliver a "prophetic word" not only in this manner, but also at her level. After seeing and reading the Evangelist's inspirational and encouraging messages for quite sometime, and after her "pouring" or "sowing" a "word seed" into myself as well, I felt led to reach out and request an interview. Our first interview was powerful! So powerful that I immediately thought to my self, this is the stuff that a best-selling book or top grossing, soul-delivering, and people-being set -free- movie is made of!! Later Ann would reveal that the Lord had placed it in her heart to write a book, and that was something she was very close, and on the verge of doing. I can't say that I was

surprised by this revelation one bit. In fact, as a Pastor, Preacher, Teacher, Writer, Publisher, and Film Maker, it was obvious what I needed to do. Anne's story was so powerful, there was no way I could put it all in the magazine and undercut the vast potential of her story going world-wide in the first release of her book. I did not want to do that. Anne called me a few weeks after her first interview and said that she had more to add to her story. She had been reminded by God once more through powerful past memories, when she did not even know him, showing her how He was working in her life. Out of respect for her future debut book entitled "From Hell to Home", I have chosen not to reveal all that she discussed in our interview, however to give you a snippet of what is to come! God bless you all, and enjoy this 2nd powerful interview with Evangelist Ann Victory, and also, be on the lookout for her forth coming first book, and quite possibly, her own movie deal!! Q: An n , t h an k you f or callin g t oday, you w an t ed t o add t o you r t est im on y in t er m s of som et h in gs t h at t h e Lor d h as don e f or you .

A: Amen, yes. First of all, I want to give God some glory because today makes me eight years clean!

And I just give God the glory for that alone. Today is the day, eight years ago, a week before Father 's Day, on a Saturday, I came back to the Lord. So I give God glory just for that alone. I just thank God for being clean [of drugs] and serving a righteous God. When I came back, he accepted me for just who I was. The Lord had reminded me of the first time he healed me, when I didn't even know nothing about God himself. When I was in the ninth grade, I got into a fight with this girl, and the fight was because she talked about my mom, and my mom was dead. An that day I told this girl, whenever I saw her, I was going to whoop her. And that's exactly what I did. But I didn't know the girl had a blade in her hand when I was fighting her, and she cut me from behind my ear, all the way down to my neck. I got 54 stitches that day. The doctor told me, if it had of been a 1/2 inch deeper, I would have died. I went to this church. Back then we called them sanctified churches. We didn't even know what sanctified was. I didn't know who God was. But I went

to this sanctified church, and it was during Christmas time, and this man put his hand on my neck. I had those stitches and I was bandaged up and he prayed for me, and believed God for a healing that I didn't even understand myself. And when I went back to get those stitches out, the doctor told me she didn't understand how it healed the way it did heal because it should have been puffed up in my neck and it didn't, it came out smooth. I don't even think people take note that I got a scar up there, because I don't even take note that it's there, even though I know it's there. I don't even see it being there. So God reminded me of that. Then the Lord reminded me of a second healing he did to my body. The first time I ever gave myself to the Lord, I had a mass inside my stomach, bigger than a football. You really could see this mass. We went down to the hospital in Chapel Hill, North Carolina to have surgery. The Devil tried to lie. I remember going to the bathroom. My doctor scheduled me for surgery the next day. Because I got a fever, they couldn't give me the surgery. I have not

had that surgery from that day to this day! And the doctors didn't understand what happened to that mass, because it just disappeared. It dissolved, it left me. But I know it was there. they knew it was there, the X-ray said it was there. The doctor 's could feel it, I could feel it, but God took it out of me. So I wanted to add that because I know God to be a healer. He has healed me in so many times and in so many different ways. He reminded me of some things he had done for me, even before I knew who he was. He was yet still working on me.

A: Well, I'm a firm believer that when anybody come to you, they are planting seeds. When somebody come behind him and water that seed, we may not know who that person is, or who God is sending our way. But I'm a firm believer that the Lord know what he is doing when we don't understand what he is doing. So even with that being said, you keep on doing what you are doing and God knows he has a plan for us and in the end, he is going to get the glory. Even when we don't see it. [In retrospect] I didn't see that coming my way. I didn't see myself where I am today. You couldn't have told me 10 years ago I would be back Saved because I was a crack addict. You couldn't tell me God would heal me from lupus. Even though I knew I had lupus, I was still getting high. You couldn't tell me God would be able to do that because I was still a sinner until I came back

into righteousness. I don't know anybody, I don't care if you are a saint or sinner, because the Bible says 'It rains on the just and the unjust', so he blesses the sinner man, as much as he blesses the Christian man. Your blessings may not be like my blessing, but God is still in the blessing business!

You know, Teddy is cute. I must admit. But normally, I'm not that impressed by guys like him. I mean, don't get me wrong, he's handsome, smart, mild-mannered and always a gentleman. Did I mention, always a gentleman? The thing is, I was blessed and fortunate to grow up with several "Teddy's" in my life. My dad was a scientist and an inventor, kind of what like what Teddy is aspiring to be. In fact, all of my uncles, some of my cousins have all delved into some form of entrepreneurship, chemicals, chemistry, inventing. I guess it's the family trade so to speak. We have patents, patents pending, and a whole slew of different products on the market. My great grandfather was a leading chemist for one of the largest product manufacturers in the world. Ever heard of Magic Removal, removes stains instantly from your clothes? Yep, that was my Paw Paw.

Now, I 'm certainly not trying to make it seem like I'm to good, or like I'm just not that impressed because I've seen several "Teddy"s,...no. The fact of the matter is I really, "dig" Teddy, but it seems like whenever I get close or there is an opportunity for us to talk, he gets a little "timid". Now I could be wrong, and I know things can get a little bit intense around here at school with the work load and all. In fact, the last thing that many of us "serious students" are thinking about is a "serious relationship". I mean, let's face it. If you want to graduate at the top of your class, and walk out of these doors into a slew of open doors, then you've got to stay FOCUSED! But that Teddy, for whatever reason, and only God knows...has my attention...

THE OTHER HA LF OF YOU.

By St eph an ie M axw ell-Robles Nothing like a Black mother's love! From a United States point of view, and throughout the world, we have been the steady and consistent "backbone" of our families! Like our male counterpart's, we have had to love, and at times, take care of everyone else before we could take care of ourselves. We have a unique story in this country as we were and still are the only group of people who were taken, raped, robbed, and pillaged and forced to do manual labor to feed the insatiable monetary appetite for those who established America's capitalistic system. It was money or economics that drove the former slave masters to do the things in which they did. Black women however have always upheld a standard, even in the midst of the battle. God would always praise them, and cover them. They have broken strongholds and torn down generational curses. They have accomplished the unaccomplishable in a world who has constantly tried to remind them, and the Black man, of a myth or belief of them being inferior because of the color of our skin which was, and still is, a lie. Black mother's have been given the ability to hold on in the darkest of hours with a belief in Jesus Christ to rebuke it all, including the enemy. They have chosen the high road, one less traveled, and have tried to continue the legacy that which God have established for them. It was God who sustained them in the shallowest of times. Our women have suffered. but yet through it all, we have come

out on top and victorious through Christ Jesus. He, our Savior, is the only one who can right the wrongs of American society and redeem the harsh reality we have had to endure through life. "No weapon that is formed against thee shall proper and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me" Isaiah 54:17 (KJV). You are a "Champion among Champion's!" It does not get any better than you. You, just like the Black man, have been vilified, demonized, and criticized yet all of your natural attributes - the world desires. Your speed, intellect, endurance, natural beauty, swag, lips, hair, butt and yes skin color!

Only those who are whole-heartedly practicing these principals are truly successful in the natural and the spiritual realm and in this magazine, yes, we will say the Biblical and Godly truth of all matters. Just as with the Black father, God ordained Marriage for you too mama. Not only was it the first institution established by God, but also serves as a gateway to motherhood. Yes life happens, but you were never created to do the job of parenthood alone.

Mother's, you have a very special role indeed as it is to support, uplift, and take care of your children, your household, and your husband and not necessarily in that order. Marriage is honorable among men and women and it is what You have loved your children and God requires to engage in sexual others, so much so that it is built intercourse; the very act that in your DNA. You are forever a produces children . mom and the caretaker. You have faced insurmountable odds. In recent times, just as with Black If you are not married and you are father's, due to racism, sexism, having children, you are wrong! and societal injustice and woes. Mistakes will happen, maybe As a result, there has been a build once or even twice, but God up and one that has people ready expects for you to be married, no exceptions! There is a certain completely implode! maturity that comes along with being married. In the union, God But my God, and your's, says not develops your character, your today.
