    I am the first True Christian man in my family. No one taught me how to fallow God. I fell to me knees and gave it all to God. Now i fight for the Truth of God everyday. Christ is King. Its time to fight for our God forever.

Bake me love and prepare and teach me to bake Lord. I can't give what I don't have lord, start the work in me and give me the grace to love rightly as you've commanded us Amen 🙏🏽

    Our Heavenly Father, we come to you in prayer with Mathew Rickey. You know how he is struggling with issues with his marriage. We pray that you help to lead both Mathew and his wife to what your will is for this difficult situation. If it is reconciliation that your will is, help both of them with the strength needed to get in a spirit of forgiveness and reconciliation. Either way, we pray that both can find forgiveness in this situation. We know that, through you, all things are possible. We pray this in Jesus name. Amen!

    My whole life I have been fighting for a purpose , not knowing Christ was what I was looking for. Prior to living in Christ, I have been a go getter, a goal achiever as far as finances. I have taken the last couple of years to have a relationship and purpose with God. I am in the middle of raising a New born Boy given by the Lord, breaking generational curses in My family and Sarah’s family. Wanting to allow the lord to provide and guide, bills adding up and a family to lead, do I go back to working do the same job or field prior to knowing Christ and watching the Father come down ? Being stuck in living in a world where No cash means no lights in the house or food on the table. I have said I will dig holes if that’s His Will for My life. Would He call me and reveal Himself to me just to go back doing the same work, or is there a bigger purpose I’m suppose to be waiting for? I give my Life and family to Christ, and trust that He is with Me and for Me! God bless!
