Familiarity, the unexpected blinder (Part 1)

"Though familiarity may not breed contempt, it takes off the edge of admiration ." William Hazlitt  Quotes Day in and day out, we are constantly meeting people and developing new friendships. In some situations, we make friends that stick around for a lifetime and others just simply pass through. Each person fulfills a purpose in your life, whether good or bad.  In those friendships where we find purpose, are we treating our friends well? Do we take time to appreciate our family members or even spouses? The issue of familiarity has been on my mind and it’s not just limited to friends but even family as well.

When I see the blood!

When I  see the blood   I am reminded of His sacrifice for me   I know it is only by His  Grace, made  evident through His Blood   His blood made me one with Him   Just  as a  Groom is made one with His Bride   My Jesus takes  Presidency over my life   I am His  VVIP,  By virtue of His blood shed for me   As He took the keys from the devil   Leaving Him whimpering in the shadows      The devil sought to sell me out on an  auction    Seeking the highest demonic b idder   As my sin made me vulnerable to his powers   But just when he thought he had me under his hold   My JESUS WALKED  in   UNLEASHING HIS BLOOD OVER MY LIFE   BREAKING ALL PROTOCOLS AND STRONGHOLDS   Cleansing me from the filth called Sin     Today, I  stand on a stronger foundation   C...

Declaring the word   Brings changes   Changes make impact   Impact breaks barrier   I see myself speaking with authority   Standing on the mountain of change   Above all adversities and entanglements    Here  I ...
