72-Hour Countdown

We are standing in the shadows of a new time. We are on the verge of a "Daybreak" that will reveal what History would call "2014": The Year Two Thousand and Fourteen AD.

Begin the 72-Hour Countdown to 2014 
Cleanse. Clean. Disinfect. Rinse. Mind-Body-Spirit. 

God Bless You. Enjoy the rest of this beautiful day of which you are privileged to be a part. Refresh yourself with laughter!

Sit Them at Your Feet...

A large percentage of Africa’s human capacity, the “Brain” of Africa, resides in the Western Diaspora. To you, Diaspora Africans:  Take the time to sit your young children down and explain to them just who Mr. Nelson Mandela was.

One Tribute to Nelson Mandela

I’m raising my hand in solidarity singing the words of Hugh Masekela: “Bring back Nelson Mandela. Bring him back to Soweto. I want to see him walking down the street in South Africa. Tomorrow. Bring back Nelson Mandela ….”

Africa has lost one of its greatest statesmen. A leader who chose a 27-year imprisonment over compromising his principles, so that others born in the same country as he would taste freedom, and experience democracy. A leader who sampled the sweet lure of power after 27 years of confinement in an isolated jail cell. Nelson Mandela tasted life in the highest office of his land, South Africa. And graciously relinquished that power after a mere five (5) years. Preferring that some other more vibrant, more able, could bring to his people what He, Mandela, had spent 27 years being imprisoned for—Wanting the Best for His People.

He Restoreth My Soul

I did not want to write this personal testimony, but my spirit is quivering to do so. Here it is:


My friend, I share this that someone out there would know Jesus is fully aware of you and happenings in your life. I believe that in the process of making you to come out like pure gold you must be refined by hot fires. In order to purify that gem the Lord is making you out to be, you must be put through burning flames. Stay prayerful. Stay cheerful. You have not yet suffered to the point of dying on a cross. If you must be like Jesus, you must be like Jesus. Keep your focus on God. Absolutely, everything about earth is temporary. Maybe, just maybe, the Lord wants you to understand and know there is no place life can take you that the grace of God cannot reach and rescue you.

Revival Time ... Jesus, Tender Shepherd

JESUS, TENDER SHEPHERD, HEAR ME
Words by Mary L. Duncan (1814-1839)
Music by John Stainer (1840-1901)

Do you remember this song? 

Jesus, Tender Shepherd, hear me;
Bless Thy little lamb tonight;
Through the darkness be Thou near me;
Watch my sleep till morning light.

All this day Thou hand has led me,
And I thank Thee for Thy care;
Thou hast clothed me, warmed and fed me,
Listen to my evening prayer.

Let my sins be all forgiven;
Bless the friends I love so well;
Take me when I die to Heaven
Happy there with Thee to dwell.

My friend, Sing Along and make your heart happy. You could never get so grown that these lyrics do not make your spirits glad. God bless you. Enjoy the singing or humming, whatever you choose.

Right Here Right Now

(I know this is deep message for you this Weekend. But, for all I know this could be the weekend it all turns to ash, with Christ's return. Sometimes food for thought should challenge our thinking and call us to action. Action to accept Jesus Christ salvation. - Hortense) 

The Word says, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service” (Romans 12:1 KJV).
Now, my friend. NOW is the time to follow Jesus, and stay with the Lord.

Smell The Flowers!

Take a minute today to step outside that building. Find a patch of nature and smell the flowers. Let the smell of God's perfect creation scent up your life with the fragrance of how great our God is!  The Lord is eternal, forever. The Lord is in total control. From everlasting to everlasting He is God. Jesus Christ Is Lord. Let every knee bow and every tongue tell it that Jesus Christ is Lord!
My friend, smell the flowers today. If God so beautifully clothes and nourishes the plants in the field, how much more will He masterfully take care of you! Pause and appreciate God in His perfect holiness. Embrace the sweet fragrance of Jesus Christ. For my part, I salute JESUS!

Sunday for Jesus

The Bible says, "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." (Exodus 20:8). 
My friend, be respectful of Jesus by how you treat Sunday. Dedicate this day to the Lord. 
My wish for you today is that you would discover how much a gem you are. So much a gem that Jesus came to earth and died to make you faultless, in the eyes of God.

Break a Smile!

TO LAUGH OR NOT

Whether or not you have reason to laugh today is not the issue. Laugh anyway. Inside of you dwell the potency of the Living God. Most Africans know that to restart the fire in a “coal pot” all you need do is blow at the embers. So it is with the Child of God. Utilizing the strength Jesus Christ has imbued in you blow with all your might. Soon you would feel the warmth of His glory overtaking your fatigue. There is a lit flame inside of you, Child of God. Persevere. That’s how you restart the passion in your life. That is how you break a smile! And loud laughter follows.

Hortense Testimony 14th Anniversary

August 1, 2013
DO IT FOR CHRIST MINISTRIES is 14 YEARS OLD!
Fourteen years ago today I stood in the face of Jesus Christ, answered my name call, received the Lord’s anointing and heard the Words of Calling. In awe, I listened to my Master speak an assignment for me. Hallelujah! It has been 14 years! God has been faithful to me! Many times beaten, broken, weary, left along the way. Often times, discouraged. Sometimes, a little depressed. Bouts of wavering faith. Feeling that God had abandoned my ship. But ALL the time, prayerful, hopeful, joyful, and firmly following. Laughing right after the tears. Smiling through the crying. Happy that “There is a fountain filled with blood, drawn from Immanuel’s veins; And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains.”I rise and realize that I am blessed. So richly blessed! I cry out, “Lord help my unbelief!” And I go right back to what I know to do: Trust God regardless of any and every circumstance.
Always God does, in His time, what He knows best to do: Be faithful to me, a wretched, sinful, unfaithful human being! The God of the universe holds me close, and imprints a mark of joy that penetrates my bones, my muscles, my tissues, my joints, my nerves, and it consumes me. God’s peace and provision and providence consume my entire body. My flesh becomes a haven of rest because Jesus choses to dwell in me. God is faithful! The Lord is faithful! Yes God has been faithful. To me. Hallelujah! It’s never been about me. It is because of WHO HE IS. All because of who Jesus Christ Is. I AM is all I could ever want. I AM is enough! My friend, I AM is enough for you, too.
Christians, in your Walk hold on to Jesus. God did not promise the easy route. GOD promised to NEVER LEAVE YOU. You Stand! PRAY. STAND. Pray! Live for Christ. Stop settling for ease. Ease is loss. Ease without total Jesus is total loss. This world is not all that. Do those things that dishonor God really make you happy? Does living outside of Jesus Christ and doing ungodly things bring you true joy? No it doesn’t. And it never will. God deserves better. God deserves better from you! Body, mind, spirit; you owe yourself to the Lord. Lay down your own desires. Set boundaries and standards that your life and lifestyle may worship God. NO, the Journey is not a picnic all the time. But I guarantee, all the time it is a Feast. Never a hungry day in Jesus! The way you live for Christ is you ask the Lord to Decrease you and let Him, Jesus Christ, Increase in you. That’s how you live for the glory of God. You surrender your life and lifestyle to the doings of Almighty God. You let Jesus lead. You follow using the Bible as your guide. You DECREASE self. You let the Holy Spirit be your conscience. You INCREASE Jesus.
In Jesus there is unspeakable joy. And lasting laughter! Crowns of peace. At the end you WIN! Ahh my friend, YOU Win.

Good Morning from Hortense Inspiration

GRATEFUL CHILD OF GOD

Those who know me well, you would know that fun and laughter is my trademark. My closed friends and loved ones often call me for comic relief. And a few of them are "brave" enough to tell me, "I'm calling because I need to laugh!"
So my joke today is on Lucifer. SDL is having a stroke! I have been rolling this morning since 5:25 a.m. Writing, tweeting, on facebook, broadcasting, talking, emailing, and am about to complete work on a newsletter. Satan Devil Lucifer should have left me alone yesterday. He wouldn't be so stressed out today trying to keep up with everything I have to say about JESUS! Ha! Ha? HAHAHA!!!!
 
My friend, the only thing Satan knows to do well is to make the testimony long, for the child of God! Find something to laugh about and keep moving.

Blessings and peace,
Hortense

Special HI For You!

PERSONAL TESTIMONY from HORTENSE

My friend, I'd like you to know that the God I speak about, and the things I say about Him I know in my heart to be true. Yesterday was very challenging healthwise. My body was not cooperating. Pain was oozing from every joint, bone, and muscle. I've learned to expect such days. Those days come, and like all things it come to pass! I took the day easy. Being in one spot frees up an entire day for praying!!!
Early this morning I woke up to finish my weekly radio broadcast. As I concluded, I couldn't help but rejoice at God's Word. I wanted to to share with you this verse:
(Deut. 28:13) "The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you PAY ATTENTION to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and CAREFULLY FOLLOW them, you will ALWAYS be at the TOP never at the bottom."
My friend, if you ever needed an anthem, take this verse and RUNNNNNNNN with it! God did not promise ease all the way, but The Lord promised some big, big things! Where ever you find yourself today this verse is for you. You, yes You sitting over there, have been declared permament top placement. Live your life for Jesus. You will never be the bottom as long as you live for the glory of God. Do It For Christ!
Blessings and peace,
Hortense

Good Morning Friend

GOOD MORNING FROM HORTENSE INSPIRATION

If you ever thought SDL isn't following your daily walk and getting angry at every praise you utter about Jesus, think again! Mr. Satan Devil Lucifer watches every word you utter about God and it scares the daylights out of him so he tries to squash you. Yesterday he was following me foot-to-foot and made it one of the most frustrating days I've ever lived through. BUT, ...with my majority shareholder, Jesus, we crushed him up. And again Still I Rise!  So shall you too, my friend. Stand. Stand! Stand.

When all is said and done STAND your ground IN JESUS!  Enjoy your day.

GOOD MORNING FROM HORTENSE INSPIRATION
(Written June 20, 2013)

“What do I have to give my Lord? I will sing praises to His name.” 

My friend, Let your day be spent thanking God for the privilege you have of being alive! The privilege of smelling fresh flowers and feeling the gentle breeze whisk past!  The privilege of being able to use your hands and fingers to hit the keystrokes on your computer and electronic gadgets, to be able to write on Facebook and Twitter and Blogs and all those high-tech ways of communicating. The privilege of being able to read inspirational thoughts to lift up your spirits, today! The privilege of being counted among the living, today! 

Many did not receive those privileges this morning.  You are so blessed.  Start behaving like you are!  No complaining the whole day today.  Love and many blessings, to you

Testimony from a Grateful Heart

MY BIRTHDAY TESTIMONY
(Written June 15, 2013 @ End of Day)

"To HIM be glory and honor and majesty forever and ever, AMEN!"

My friend, I come to report that our God, Jehovah God the MOST HIGH, Jesus Christ Lord of Heaven and Earth, is an absolutely awesome, Never-Cease-to-Amaze-me God! I love the Lord. He is totally dependable. Always reliable. Never underestimate the love the Lord has for you, nor the power He has to chart your circumstances.
I praise God for the beauty of seeing another birthday today and welcoming another year. I saw the day. Enjoyed it to the fullest. And then, "it came to pass". My friend, worship and serve Jesus. Only what is done for Christ will last.

Open Letter to United States of America

Dear United States of America,
Hope life is treating you well, today. As an immigrant who still believes I have been blessed to enjoy living in the greatest country on earth, I feel obligated to write this plea to you, my beloved America. I pray you would consider it. Let's get America praying more! Thank you and God bless.

 NOON PRAYER CAMPAIGN FOR AMERICA

"Father God, I thank you. I ask you to forgive my sins. Please heal America and restore our values and morals. Remove hatred from our midst. Keep us safe from threats, and acts of terror. Lord, fill our hearts with love for God and country. In Jesus name. Amen."

 America: You have a silent weapon, prayer. Please use it. Take prayer out of storage from that hiding place and use it vigorously. The times demand an action. That action is Prayer. Once upon a time the Chambers of the U.S. House of Representatives was used for church services, which included prayer. Once upon a time the Gospel was preached in the U.S. Supreme Court. Prayer was vital to the founding fathers of this great nation that is the United States of America. Prayer still work, America. Do not sit idly and let a good thing slip out of your hands. This is still the greatest country in the world. Now is the time to reach Heaven with your voice.
I want to provoke you to adopt the Noon Prayer Campaign for America. Send a collective voice to heaven daily at the same time asking for the same thing. Join the chorus every day at 12:00 noon and say this simple prayer. Please.

Humbly,
Hortense D. Grimes

Specially for you from HI

Divine inspiration from Hortense

Change your world today. Pray throughout the day for a few minutes every hour on the hour. Begin at 9:00 a.m., ending at 9:00 p.m. That's twelve hours of messages direct to heaven. See the change tomorrow!

Believe me when I tell you Jesus Christ does not tell untruths. God said to pray without ceasing. The Lord said seek and you will find...ask and you will receive...knock and the door will be open. My friend, Stop standing there explaining to people over and over. Start praying to God. Let the lock jump off those doors and you go right through it.  I am talking BREAKTHROUGH! 
Enjoy your day.

LIFE APPRECIATION 101


GO AFTER HAPPINESS

My Friend, life is good. Life is Beautiful. Live Life Joyfully! 
Yours is the only life you have on earth. Have a mentality to be happy. Set your mind that you will overcome and be a winner. You were created by your father God, the King of Kings. The reigning King has created you in His image and likeness. You are a phenomenal person. Whether you like it or not you are royalty. It may not always appear that way to you but, you are genuine royalty. Believe it. Nothing can change the reality that you are royalty.

Isn't it a fact that a child of a King is a king or queen in the making? Royalty is in your DNA. 

I cannot tell you enough how much you mean to Jesus. That is why the Lord has made every good thing out here, just for you. Embrace life. Embrace the good out of life. Enjoy your weekdays and your weekends, and celebrate that you made it through. Regardless. You made it through! That says a lot! You are a trooper! Be steadfast. 
Please make it a priority to attend a church service on Sunday. Whatever you do, or don’t do, find a little time to spend with Jesus. Daily say a prayer and read your Bible. Even if it is no more than one verse, read the Word of God. It is the The Lord teaching you right stuff for righteous living. Therein lies your strength to persevere. God’s peace and His presence will fill you up. Jesus will make His Face to shine upon your face. You would radiate with the sun rays of The Son. When inside of you is shining it shows outside. You shine with happy.
My friend, do not let happiness elude you. Go after it.

Blessings and Peace,
Servant Hortense Grimes

Special HI For You!

TOO FREE TO BE ANNOYED

As soon as Satan shows up today looking for attention, immediately say a prayer. Jesus has got your back! Tell Lucifer you are completely booked with preparations for your upcoming meeting with the King. Your schedule is too tight to include jokes and pranks from a forever clownish, small boy who will never grow up! Remind Satan that unlike him who is not allowed to leave Loser's Lane you are travelling on Superior Highway.  
 
The Word of God (the Bible) says in 2nd Corinthians 3:17, “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
Do not let any of the temporary annoyances of this life hold you hostage today. Whatever they are—despair, thoughts of self-pity, persecution, trouble, grief, anger, bitterness, sadness, money problem, joblessness—whatever else. You and Jesus make up the majority. And majority wins in the tussle between good and evil.
My Friend, believe the report from Jesus, the man who allowed people to nail him to pieces of plank, and He bled and died because of you. Nobody will ever love you more. You can always trust Jesus Christ. Jesus says He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Keep your life fortified with the Word of God. Read the Bible daily. Listen only to the voice of God, accepting only what HIS Word says. If God said it, you can believe it, and that settles it!
May God bless you to have a fabulous, absolutely fabulous day! Stay prayerful.

Blessings and peace,
Hortense

Ministry Fundraising Efforts

Anticipating the Spring release of our new book, 'Dynamics', I am attempting ongoing marketing efforts for ‘She Shall Stand’ the first published work from Do It For Christ Ministry. Additionally, if I may say so myself ‘She Shall Stand’ is every person’s story. We can each testify to the unending capacity of God’s grace and love! You and I know that but for the grace of God, life would have swallowed you up a long time. The book is a narration of the remarkable, dynamic power of prayer and the tremendous power of Jesus Christ to those who call him Lord. Hallelujah!

All sales proceeds benefit Do It For Christ Ministry’s numerous undertakings. We are looking, shortly, to expand the Radio and Media ministry to additional markets in Africa. As well as establishing the Outreach Branches throughout the regions. Needless to say, Ministry is expensive and needs much support. Hence my plea. Especially to my Liberians (between you and me your know we don’t like to support one another :)-). But please do it for Christ. Africans must take the lead in any efforts that would bring some form of relief to Africans. Kindly purchase a copy for yourself or for your kids, loved ones or a friend. The book also talks extensively about childhood and upbringing the African/Liberian way back in the days. Pass that on to your children. Let them see how you grew up. Share with them the priceless African family values and structure.

The message of Spiritual Rehabilitation in Jesus Christ, and Renewal of the Mindset is serious business—more poignant now than ever before for the African continent. Jesus is the way. Prayer has the answers. If there is no knowledge of Jesus there can be no spiritual rehabilitation for the people. No Jesus, no permanent renewal of mindset. Every African can agree that what the continent desperately needs is that its people renew their thinking; subsequently, behavior patterns will change. Further, if there is no Jesus there can be no complete healing from the traumas of conflicts, chaos and confusion. Whatever the nay arguments to this truth, it is the Word of God that stands.

I believe what the Bible says. That Book has stood the test of time. That Book has the message that transforms the Human heart where the outward deeds of humans originate. I believe the Word of God. For the word of God says, “That one day EVERY knee WILL bow, and EVERY tongue WILL confess that JESUS CHRIST is LORD...” The fact of the matter is the world will bow today or the world will bow tomorrow. But one day every single living and dead creature that has ever graced the face of this earth will bow and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God. Hallelujah! Every creature in heaven above, on the face of earth, underneath the earth below, will bow and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!

Now, my friend, do you still believe that any completion can exist without Jesus? Help me spread the JESUS message. That message is the only one that transforms the human mind and heart! We need to get it into the heart so that transformation can happen to the entire person. Help me spread the message of salvation. Help me heal the broken hearts, the broken lives and broken spirits with the fixing power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Make a small little (intentional usage, Liberian jargon) contribution today by purchasing our major fundraiser ‘She Shall Stand.’

(Please read the next BLOG entitled "Excerpt from She Shall Stand). 

Thanks and God Bless you.
