Greetings Everyone,
All honor and glory be to God for providing us with another day of endless opportunities. Please remember that production gaps for the SOD will continue until I am able to invest in a more reliable computer system, I thank you in advance for your understanding. Yesterday I forgot to mention that one of my organization's volunteers had mentioned experiencing a financial burden some weeks ago. Although it's not an ideal form of relief, she happened to win a super bowl pool which alleviated her financial hardship, and she gives God the glory. Amen to that. Let's move forward... has losing weight been on your list of New Year's resolutions for more than a year, but you have yet to fulfill that "resolution"? Dr. Pam Peeke, Healthy Living Coach, suggests you "focus on what you... care about. Shedding weight and getting healthy don't have to be about vanity... Imagine that you can - and do... Picture being there as" "your kids or grandkids" "walk down the isle. Focusing on real-life goals like these will help propel you even if your mirror doesn't rule your life" (Peeke, P. (2014, January). How can I stick to my health goals when life gets in the way?. Prevention, 68). "To IMPROVE is to CHANGE" ~Winston Churchill~ #Be encouraged!
Fostering Mind, Body, and Soul Incorporated (FMBS Inc.) is on a never-ending quest to locate needy individuals to extend our services to. God blessed each of us, and my members and I have teamed up to share our blessings with those in need, but we require more help... we have extended our PRE-SALE fundraiser until February 7th for See's Candies in lieu of Valentine's Day, to raise funds to support our day-to-day mission of providing the less fortunate with various resources to provide overall sustenance for their minds, bodies, and souls; we provide ministry, mentoring, toiletry items, school supplies, clothing, and meals. Let our fundraiser be an OPPORTUNITY for you to show your romantic side this year; get with myself or one of my other team members to purchase some sweets for that special someone in your life, or as a nice gesture for someone who may not have anyone in their lives. FMBS Inc. members pride ourselves on using our talents and blessings to serve needy individuals in underprivileged communities throughout Southern California. Being a veteran myself, we vowed to extend our continuous support to deployed veterans and their families as well. This is only the beginning for us. With YOUR help, we WILL prosper and advance our activeness within the community, eventually expanding to other coasts. Our solicitation for monetary donations and/or contributions of time, hygiene items, and clothing items is a YEAR-ROUND campaign that YOU are encouraged to participate in whenever you can. We are a NON-profit 501(c)(3) federally exempt organization, which means that ALL donations are TAX DEDUCTIBLE. NO matter how big or small your contribution or donation is, YOU are helping someone in need. If you were on the receiving end and needed a helping hand, wouldn't you want someone to reach out to you? Accept this opportunity to HELP LIVES. If interested, make your Valentine's Day purchase or simply make a donation and/or contribution; make all checks payable to FMBS Inc., provide one of our representatives with your cash donation/contribution, or use the PayPal link located on our website.

TRANSFORM your body, mind, and soul TODAY because tomorrow is NOT promised; 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.), YOU can start anew and become a better you. CHANGE BEGINS WITHIN... 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. In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, "be the change that you want to see in the world." Have a blessed rest of the week.
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 - Colossians 4:6:
"Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone."
***Unless otherwise indicated, all scripture quotations are taken from the New Living Translation (NLT) of the Bible***
"
It has been said that we are our own worse enemies. That may not be any truer than when it comes to our having short tempers and quick tongues. Someone pushes the right button and it seems there is nothing that stops the words from spewing out. Within the blink of an eye, we let the words fly and then it’s too late. The words cannot be taken back. What’s said is said. James calls the tongue, “a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body” (James 3:6). And while the tongue can level loved ones and waylay the unsuspecting; it has also the capability of much good. It is, in many cases, like a surgical instrument. Used carelessly and without thought, it can cause severe damage. But when used with skill, wisdom, and with care, the tongue can bring great healing, and can be a tremendous source of blessing."

This lesson reminded me of one I shared with yall from the Power of the Tongue Series back in 2012 (Allen, T. Personal Communication. 2012, April 17. Scripture of the day: Consider your words)... There is creative power within Your words, so You must learn to use Your words effectively; YOU have the ability to speak good or bad outcomes into your life and the lives of others. Consider your words CAREFULLY BEFORE you speak. Ask yourself this, "will the words I want to utter, speak life into my current circumstance?; will my words be good to edifying, that they may minister grace to the hearer?; or will my words confess defeat from the enemy and increased decline in prosperity?" We all say a lot of things that we shouldn't, however, it is not too late to be transformed by the word of God. To piggy-back on yet another lesson, God gave YOU authority, and His creative power in Word form; the power is in Your words, and it works. God's creative power is produced by the heart, formed by the tongue, and released out of the mouth in the form of WORDS. Learn to operate in the ABILITY OF GOD and release that ability IN YOU, by the FAITH-FILLED WORDS of Your mouth. It is through the very own words of your mouth, that you establish failure or success in your life; learn to use Your words wisely. Repetition is the key to memorizing, and practice is pivotal to getting it right. (Capps, C. The tongue - a creative force. Tulsa, Oklahoma: Harrison House, 1976.)
Prayer of the Day:
Father God we thank you for life, health, and strength. We thank you for the strength we need to forgive those who have wronged us, the same way you continuously grant us forgiveness, and for placing upon those we have wronged the same desire, that we too may be forgiven by them. More so Father, we thank you for removing the guilt we once placed on self, and for removing every thought that has held us captive in our own minds. We thank you for transforming our image into one that mirrors Jesus, so that His goodness is reflected in all that we do. Thanks for blessing us with a double portion of your Spirit, and for closing every unnecessary door that is open in our lives. Thanks for opening supernatural doors in our lives that lead to peace, prosperity, clarity, contentment, and happiness. We thank you for providing each of us with the clear and concise revelations we need in order to overcome the adversary. Thanks for helping us to see, hear, and feel your presence through every trial and tribulation, and for the courage to rearrange our priorities, placing you at the top of our list. We thank you for discernment to know the difference between good and bad, right from wrong, and your will vs. our own desires. Thanks 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. This is our affirmation of faith Father God; we submit our petition to you and thank you in advance for working it all out. All these things we claim in the name of Jesus, Amen!
Respectfully,
Tylesha "Tye" Allen
