Faith over Fear Sharon Gulley As we study Scripture, we find that from Genesis to Revelation, God’s message to His people is the same.

We’re going to face giants, and enemies whose forces are greater than our own. Mountains are going to stand between us and the path we know, God has asked us to take; but in those moments, fear does not need to rule us for one simple reason. GOD IS RIGHT HERE WITH US! Instead of living in fear, God calls us to live in faith. That does not mean that we will never be afraid, but it means that when those fears come, we face them, we name them, and then we give them to God. It means that we ask God for help. We set our eyes on Jesus, the one who has lifted us out of the darkness into his marvelous light. We shift our focus from the shadows to the Shepherd. The Lord is my shepherd … Even though I walk through valley of the shadow of death; I will fear no evil for you art with me (Psalm 23:1, 4) God is asking for us to do something great, possibly greater than anything we’ve done before: to depend on him completely. We have a choice, we can fall back on our fears and stay where we are, or we can step forward in faith, knowing that God is ready to walk beside us.

As we move from 2020 to 2021, there are so many uncertainties about what everything will look like.

Things will look different for sure; but as we move forward, we do so in faith, knowing that God is by our side. He will never leave us or forsake us, as He Promised. Have Faith. Speak his Power over your life.

Speak it! Believe it! And You Shall, Receive it! Stand in Faith knowing you are the Victor.

God loves us and He shields us; “The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid.” (Psalm 118:6)

Beautiful Expectations of Faith is thankful that we have the opportunity to be together and to share God’s love with you. We will need to be flexible transitioning through to the New Year, and walk by Faith and conquer Fear. Know that we are here to support you, care for you, and love you through it all.

Sharon Gulley of Beautiful Expectations of Faith Here are some bible verses that call us to have faith over fear and to look to our Almighty God for strength and reassurance! “I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.” (Psalm 34:4) Matthew 6:34.

2 Timothy 1:6-7.

Health Talk Aisha Nauling

I am excited to share some tips on one of the leading killers in the world. Heart Disease is one of the biggest silent killers globally. Having hypertension (or high blood pressure) means that the pressure in your arteries that pump blood from your heart to the rest of your organs and throughout your body is too great. This abnormal blood pressure is what puts stress on the heart and causes premature death.

According to a report from the CDC 02/2020

Nearly half of adults in the United States (108 million, or 45%) have hypertension defined as a systolic blood pressure ≼ 130 mm Hg or a diastolic blood pressure ≼ 80 mm Hg or are taking medication for hypertension. Only about 1 in 4 adults (24%) with hypertension have their condition under control.

Some of the factors that play into having high blood pressure or hypertension are:

Age weight too much sodium sleep apnea sedentary lifestyle

The enemy is literally seeking to play on our weaknesses of poor habits in order to put us in a position of having a short life we are called to be his vessels and live. We are called to be used for his purpose and glory. So we want to make certain changes in order to live the full life God has intended. The Lord desires for us to be whole.

Saying, “If you will diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, your healer.�

Exodus 15:26 Here are some natural ways to improve this condition.

I listed 5 reason hypertension is present in the body. The goal is to tackle them one by one.

Instead of using salt try using mint, rosemary or basil instead. We can’t stop aging but we can increase our water intake and exercise more. If sleep apnea is a condition then please contact your doctor for steps to improve.

A cellular detox flushing impurity out of the kidneys, liver and intestines will improve health significantly. The proper vitamins so help you absorb the good in your food while replacing what you lose through your day is paramount. Again water, water, water is your best friend.

I recommend using Iaso detox tea and Nutraburst for those options

On June 22, 2019, LaSandra hosted her very first conference, “Free to Be Me”.

On March 28, 2020, LaSandra will have The Power of Hope conference. At some point in our lives, each and everyone one of us will be faced with adversities and if we are not careful, we these challenges can cause us to question our faith and cause us to lose sight of God’s promises to us as believers. This conference is designed to encourage others to keep hope and faith in Lord regardless of what their life circumstances look like. It will illustrate how I myself was faced with adversity and how I maintain my faith, hope and trust in God and overcame that challenge. This conference will be at the Hilton

Gardens 7979 Willow Chase, Houston, TX 77070. Come join us.

When we asked her to share with us something she overcome or all the success she had achieved; she shared this. “Back in 2006, I left my husband and my life as I knew it was in total chaos and turmoil. Little did I know that God had a plan for my husband and I. The first year of that separation, the Lord dealt with me individually, reveling to me where I went wrong in my relationship with Him and my husband. One day, while in church service, the Holy Spirit came upon me, while I was in communion with God, he told me my marriage would be okay. In 2008, my husband and I reconciled our and united back under one roof.

This past June, we celebrated our 23rd wedding

Anniversary. What I learned from that experience has been invaluable and I minister to married couples now encouraging them to put God in the mist or their relationship because they cannot maintain their marriage on their own strength.”

In 2018 my goal was to publish my devotional book and I did. “From A Christian Perspective: Encouragement for Daily Living” can be downloaded for free by gong to Smashwords.com.

In 2019, my goal was to host my first Conference and I accomplished that in June. It was a huge success to say I have no idea where to begin with even planning a conference.

God truly amazed me because I asked him to put the resources, I need in my path to help me with this conference and he did just that. I would have never imagined have a radio station air my conference live. I could have never imagined have 50 people in attendance, some who did not even know me or ever heard of me before me advertising this conference. All I can say is but God…

It sets the tone for your day, your week, your business, your family and your life. So, you need to pay more attention to those thoughts and prayers!!

Ask yourself do I build myself up? Am I my own cheerleader? Do I believe in me?

In my dreams? In my abilities? Do I say I can do it? Or do I tear myself down? Am I always doubting myself? Am I always reliving my mistakes? Do I continuously tell myself I cannot do it? Take time to think about this. It is really important! If you are not uplifting yourself, it’s time to start! It’s time to stop all of that negative speak!

It’s time to start building yourself up!

You need to realize your words have power! They can elevate your life or they can take you to the depths of misery. It’s totally your choice! What you say to yourself is more important than what others say about you! You must learn to love you and your flaws and mistakes. You must learn to speak to yourself with grace and love and not with disdain. The words you speak to yourself today will determine your tomorrow!

So, start today and change your tomorrow! Lift yourself up, be your own champion, be your own cheerleader and speak love to you!

Here are some tips to get you started!
