Greetings Everyone,
All honor and glory be to God! Hey yall, I know you're wondering what's up with this Saturday's edition of the SOD considering I do not send them out on weekends, holidays, or during my vacation days. However, yesterday I was so exhausted when I got home from work, I went straight to sleep. So to make-up for Friday's SOD, I am sending one today before I head to church. I hope yall have a wonderful and blessed weekend. Remember to prioritize; spend time with God first, then fit-in everything else. Also, please remember that I'm still seeking volunteers to help build-up my non-profit organization; join my team of volunteers as we work to provide sustenance to those in need (please refer to http://www.fmbs-inc-bytye.org for more information about the organization). If you or someone you know would like to join my team of volunteers, please contact me so that I may set-up an orientation to get you started with your volunteer membership. Our next meeting will be held on September 15th at 3:00 PM in Los Angeles (location will be disclosed upon your RSVP). Thanks in advance.
My non-profit organization will be participating in the Brain Tumor Society’s 2nd annual 5k walk/run. FMBS Inc. will be walking/running in honor of my dear friend, Jennifer Robinson, a brain tumor survivor. I would love for you to participate in the walk with us. Contact me with regard to your interest in this event, or simply “register” to “join a team” under my name (Tylesha Allen) or my company’s name (FMBS Inc.) for Team Jenn. If you would rather submit a monetary donation, you are more than welcome to do that as well. Either way, just copy and paste one of these two URL addresses http://www.braintumorcommunity.org/goto/Team_Jenn_R or http://www.braintumorcommunity.org/goto/fmbs_4_Team_Jenn into your Internet browser to read Jennifer’s story, to join Team Jenn, or to make a pledge that will help us reach our fund-raising goal, also listed on our team page. I thank you in advance for spreading the word about this event; please SHARE these links with others, because so many people have suffered death as a result of brain tumors and brain cancers, and many others are also affected. Our efforts will bring researchers that much closer to a cure, and will help to better educate society.
As we continue to work together to spread God’s Gospel, let us also encourage one another to take steps that lead to a healthy overall mind, body, and soul; TRANSFORM your body, mind, and soul by feeding your body healthy nutrition, and being cautious of what things you allow your eyes, ears, and spirits to be exposed to (e.g. media, books, TV, music, etc.). Have you fed your spirit today? CHANGE BEGINS WITHIN, so START YOUR TRANSFORMATION TODAY, because tomorrow is NOT promised. Continue to keep one another in prayer, thanking God for the victory, and refraining from claiming defeat from the enemy; ALWAYS pray for your desired result, NOT the unfavorable outcome. Do NOT lose sight of God in the midst of adversity. God Bless!
Lord please clear our minds, and open our eyes and ears so that we may see, hear, and receive your intended message from this fellowship. In the name of Jesus, Amen!
Passage - Isaiah 61:10 (NLT):
"I am overwhelmed with joy in the Lord my God! For He has dressed me with the clothing of salvation and draped me in a robe of righteousness. I am like a bridegroom in his wedding suit or a bride with her jewels."

Thoughts for Today:
On Thursday, "we focused on faith as the first step in the climb out of depression: Faith in Jesus as our Savior; Faith in God's goodness; Faith in His plan. Another step lifting us out of the pit of depression is goodness - recognizing that when you received Jesus as your personal Savior, He took away all your sin and replaced it with His goodness. He sees you as His child. He sees your potential and the good plans He has for you as you walk with Him and trust Him."
"Consider this..."
"Depression may have brought about irritability, bitterness and even isolation from others in your life. You may be experiencing a sense of worthlessness. But you are far from being worthless. God created you to be a unique and special individual. He has a plan for your life and promises you a future and a hope. He has given you gifts and talents that you can use to touch people's lives. It is important that you see yourself not as a failure, but as a person God loves. He loves you unconditionally. He cares about everything that affects your life. You are important to him! A good reminder of all this is found in the Bible in Isaiah 53:4-6. Read through these verses, substituting your name for we and us. Remember, YOU are the person God loves. You are special and unique. You are clothed in His righteousness, and He will always love you unconditionally."

Remember this yall, when everyone else fails in your life (man), GOD will ALWAYS follow through with His promise (refer to Psalm 118:8). If you have not heard from God yet, perhaps you have allowed your mind to be so consumed with secular things and life, that God's whisper is blocked from your hearing. Or maybe you have heard God's answer for you, but you refuse to accept it because it did not arrive at the time you wanted or in a form that you prefer. I know first hand of this form of neglect, because I am guilty of it. Again, I encourage your testimonies and your stories, and I will always be raw about my own.Why? Because just like you, I struggle. Just like you, I am a sinner. Just like you, I experience heartache, sorrow, and allow myself to be clouded by life, secular things, temporary pleasures, and confusion. But that is why we fellowship. Together, we help one another advance and improve our relationship with Christ - we help one another grow in the Spirit and return to God's light. Through fellowship, we encourage one another to remain on God's path. So do NOT allow any bumps in the road to block your path to God's righteousness.
Prayer of the Day:
Father God we thank you for life, health, and strength. We ask for forgiveness of everything that we have thought, said, or did, that was not pleasing in your sight. Give us the strength we need to forgive those who have wronged us, the same way you continuously grant forgiveness to us. Also, place upon those we may have wronged, the same desire, that we too may be forgiven by them. More importantly Father, whatever guilt we place on self, allow us to release so that we may forgive ourselves. Help us put the past behind. Help us remember that we are clothed in the righteousness of Christ. Help us to release all negativity stored within. Bless us with a double portion of your Spirit Father. Close every unnecessary door that is open in our lives, and open supernatural doors to peace, prosperity, clarity, contentment, and happiness. Provide each of us with clear and concise revelations that we need in order to overcome the adversary. Help us to see, hear, and feel your presence through every trial and tribulation. Help us to reevaluate our lifestyles, and to rearrange our priorities, placing you at the top of our list. Provide discernment to know the difference between good and bad, right from wrong, and your will vs. our own desires. We thank you for provision, guidance, and protection from Satan’s attacks. By the authority in our words, we reverse all the negativity spoken into existence within our individual lives and the lives of our loved ones and associates. We take back everything the enemy has stolen from us, and bind every evil and malicious plot, plan, and scheme devised against us, in the matchless name of Jesus. Lord we also grant your angels permission to do our bidding on Earth without recourse. Transform us into an image that mirrors Jesus, so that His goodness is reflected in all that we do. This is our affirmation of faith Father God; we submit our petition to you in the name of Jesus, Amen!
Respectfully,
Tylesha "Tye" Allen
