Hey Dreamers, this is going to be a good one. I would like to ask that you all would remember our sister in law Sharee (John’s wife) in your prayers. Sharee’s father, Roger Ely passed away last night.This man was a BIG dreamer and was used by God to inspire so many people. He is now resting and hanging out with our mom and many of your loved ones. Our hearts go out to The Ely Family. Blessings

Praise Jesus, guys! It is such a blessing to have brothers and sisters in Christ all over the world! I am just in awe of how Jesus uses everyday people, how He raises them up, and molds them to be His hands, His feet, and His voice! This is my first time on your site (actually, I came by earlier and had to come back for more) and I know that it was not by accident! This Dream Series is such a blessing! I really needed a reminder that I should never give up on my dreams.I have a dream that the Lord gave me 9 years ago as a baby in the Lord, that I would be teaching the word in Foreign lands, but over the years when circumstances did not show any changes I start to question if this dream would ever come true. How can the Lord use me? Little nobody me–a single mother, no family…after all- I have a hard time just leaving New Jersey! BUT I thank you, that u have reminded me that God is not done yet! And best of all…since my Father is the KIng of all Kings …there is nothing impossible!

Dear Heavenly Father,
In Jesus’ name I pray and ask that you would bring comfort to the family that is morning the loss of their loved one. Father you know that it is not easy to let go of someone we love , but I know that you are the great comforter and even though there is weeping for a time, we know that great joy is on it’s way. For our brother has finnished his race and now receiving his great reward! Please continue to bless the Katina family, their ministries, and all that come in their contact, whether by face or by the anointing of their lips! I thank you and give you the glory. In the presious name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Beloved Cuzins Nation; Just puttin it out there as there r alot of us who have been blessed by Brother Joe’s weekly devotions and r looking forward to “THE DREAM SERIES”. I strongly encourage you all to drop a line, say Hello, shout for JESUS! Share your thoughts, your testimonies, your heart, & prayer requests. If ur shy we totally understand, rememba it’s not like you have to stand up and say a speech in front of the class, or you can look at it like “White Sunday Lotu-Tamaiti” if you kno what I mean! (of course if it wasn’t a good experience, leave dat behind, moving forward! (rotfl) You can also just Dream like u r typin a reply/response we won’t say a word! (lol) But for reals all ya, too many to count even all the cuzins who reported to me they have been keepin up with our weekly devotion and reading up all the comments, come on out your comfort zone and hit reply! It’s really freeing to do so! On behalf of our Kuzins Nation we r blessed with all of you truly, whether you post hit reply or not, know that Jesus loves you no matter what! We are confident that in God’s timing we will hear from all ya tell of the goodness, love, grace, mercy, faithfulness of our Lord! God’s continual blessings to you all~ Sista RJ~ 1st Corinthians 3:9

Lifting Sheree and the entire family up in prayer during this difficult time. The loss of a parent cuts so deep into the soul and essence of one’s being. Only through Christ are we able to have the strength to carry on when our world feels like it is falling apart.I trust that God the Father will fulfill His promise to bring peace to those who mourn. May He sustain you with His love and strength. In JESUS’ name….. AMEN!

Sister Steph, luv you look forward to seeing you & hubby at the Rock next time our KBrothers are in town! 5 & 7p.m. service is the time I come. Keep the faith, God is on your side! :-)

Sista

My prayers go out to John and his family..

I always look forward to every devotion because it has really made me rethink how I want to run my race with God. I do like the quote James Dean; “Dream as if you’ll live forever, live as if you’ll die today!” I try hard to make sure things in my life are always great because I want people to remember me. I dream of always trying to live great for God and serving Him well! When we dream we should always take ownership of the dream if we want it to come true.

“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.” Epicurus quotes

Elizabeth

Great quote, Liz.

Thanks James!!

Anna I do live my life to the fullest.. The brothers posted the quote by James Dean and I just wanted to say I really like the quote.

“Goodness makes greatness truly valuable, and greatness make goodness much more serviceable.” Matthew Henry quote

I just went to the first night of the womens conference at my church and it was so great!!! Helen Burns spoke tonight.. Christine Caine is speaking for part of the day tomorrow..No matter if we are running our race or being a dreamer we must take action in what we do so it can complete our faith in God. Always carve your heart for God’s love. Find what God wants you to do and do it well..

This is something that kind of sticks in my mind after I heard it. You will get notice when you work hard. To many of us worry about what our bosses think or worry about what people around us think when really we should worry about what God thinks. When God notices us doors open.

Deuteronomy 30:19-20
“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him. This is the key to your life. And if you love and obey the Lord, you will live long in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

Hebrews 10:35-36
So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.

God Bless,
Elizabeth

Family,

Thanks to all of you for making this a safe place for people to share their burdens and “life-speaking” so burdens can be lifted up.

On that note, I received news last night that our cousin Arthur Hemmingway passed away. Please pray for Lisa, Pa’i, Mali and all of their families during this time. Death is part of life and it’s been a challenging week and a half. However, “Blessed are those that mourn, God’s comfort is sufficient”! Yet another reminder to make certain that your relationships are right and filled with love!

Peace and Make it count!

Praise the Lord! Gods love is truly sufficient!

AvaLisa, Pa’i and Maliuga – we are here for ya as always! Kuzin Aurthur Hemingway your memory lives on, never forgotten. I pray that I will get the chance to come out to Cali, so I will leave that in HIS hands!

I just wanted to say Hello everyone and that we are truly blessed. We had gotten together with our Pastor last night and it was the 1st night of confirmation for our new church – OVERFLOW TABERNACLE!! OOHHHH Praise the LORD – Hallelujah!!! We had met up for prayer and is asking GOD for guidence thru this time of preparing for NEW BEGINNINGS for our church. I know this is one of the DREAMS our Pastor has been dreaming and we are blessed to be part of it, to help it grown and expand. Most of all to win more souls for our GOD! Hallelujah!! Thank you all for your prayers.

PRAISE HIM at all times! Love you and bless you…

Iesu tatou va…Forever in His grip,

Sister Vernie Aye…

Praise Jesus! My prayers go out to the families and those that are mourning at this time May the memories live on and joy be restored soon. Liz, I am sorry to hear that you are not feeling well, may you recover quickly by the healing power of the Great Physician! It’s always good to hear the word of the Lord! Stay encouraged everyone. May everyone feel blessed and highly favored today! I have been fighting a big war over here with the adversary and even though I sometimes feel defeated, I find myself getting stronger each day. The Lord is so good to us…He won’t let us go…..and why would he? The great shepherd never loses His sheep…nope, not one.

In Jesus’ name,
Your Sister, Dawn

The woman senior pastor of my church was preaching this morning and she said a lot of good stuff.

There is a dream in our hearts. It might have been there long ago or just there for a month but no matter what we need to stay true to our dream and live it out. The down side of a dream is that people can steal it away from you. Sometimes the dream stealer is right beside us meaning that we worry to much about life and we worry to much about the negative when really we should just look to God and worry about what He thinks since He is our Dad in Heaven.

Stand strong in your faith and know once you do the enemy will leave. The enemy doesn’t respect us but God loves us and He respects us so much! Do your life well where God has put you because God is building up for a better life for you. God sees way beyond what you see.

Raise up and be what God has called you to be!!

This part is from Chris Caine

If you don’t have passion for God in your private life then how are you going to have passion for God in your public life? Pay attention you your private devotions. If you are going to do what God wants you to do let it be strewed up in you. Never is there a season not to be passionate about God.

Your expected in God’s eyes and you don’t have to impress anyone.

Ephesians 1:6
So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son.

If you are looking for some good spiritual words I suggest you should really check out Christine Caine. I bought a few of her books today. I’ve heard her speak 2 times now and she runs her race well with God. She is someone I would look up to for Godly advise.

Love God more then life. Love Him from the inside out. Dream how you can serve Him well. Be passionate about God. Always know that you are a daughter or a son of the King and He loves you more then you know. He came to rescue you and now you should do what you can to serve Him with everything that you have. Take time and start a relationship with God because once that relationship grows the passion for God will over flow in your heart.

Psalm 108:1
My heart is confident in you, O God;
no wonder I can sing your praises with all my heart!

God Bless,,
Elizabeth

Our prayers & love to Sisters Lisa, Pa’i & Brother Mali.Your brother Arthur was a blessing to all of us.
May the peace, grace, comfort and love of our Lord be upon and within all of you and your children during this time and always.

Alofa tele,
Sista RJ

Praise, Jesus,.my brothers and sisters! I am praying that you all are feeling blessed. I have been blessed today. I can’t help tell the world how good He is! I want to shout it off the roof-tops! You may ask…what happened that makes me so happy and the answer may shock you…I am happy today, because instead of being at the alter praying for someone else today…the Lord met me there instead and decided to remind me how special I was to him…Sometimes, we walk around with a smile on our face and we act like everything is okay…but its not. That is what I was doing. I know that people have their eyes on me and I am supposed to be an example of the Lord’s love and blessing…but I was feeling the opposite. I was going through some really hard stuff and it caused me to question my worth and place in the kingdom. I could not talk to my pastor because he is busy taking care of the needs of the church and I didn’t want to be a burden. So I went to church and still praised the loudest and still prayed the hardest and made sure I kept up with all my duties…everything with a smile. I couldn’t let anyone know that I was going through so much self-doubt…what would that say about the Lord? But….the Lord knew ….and he surprised me today. He met me there….and reminded me that even though I thought that I was going through my storm alone….he was right there. And in that moment I felt the doubt being lifted, the loneliness go away and I regained my strength…. Just had to share…….God bless

Bless God! Beloved Kuzins: Sista Dawn from NJ where they have the best hoagies in da world at least that’s what Brother R from there tells us! Rejoicing with you in Jesus, and thanking you for sharing with us all it has blessed me to reading your testimony! God bless you and yes, I can relate to your testimony. God is so faithful, knows all about us even better than we know ourselves. So Amazing our God!
Sister Liz, thanks for your encouragement also, and for putting up the sight for us to go on to. I have had time to just see it, and will definitely go on there. We have been busy in our hometown lots going on. Lord willing on his time will go on there! You be blessd too today and this week in Jesus name!
Sister Steph we continue to lift you up in prayer there is a scripture you can check concordance or another Kuzin can post up address, the one that goes “one day with the Lord is the same as a thousand years, and a thousand years the same as one day” (please excuse paraphrasing) an encouragement to you dear sista, with God time is not a factor he transcends time, for us humans very hard to fathom for we are on 24 hours, 365 days a year and then there’s patience…oh boy! this for me hasn’t ever been something I can say is a strength for me..however God is still on the throne and working it out, in & through me so happy to report getting better than was before, not where I need to be (hehehe) but definitely a work in progress, or still under construction thanks for your patience! (So sista, God’s timing for everything in your life is and will always be perfect) Keep the faith, keep your spiritual eyes on, and even if you have to close them and give them a rest it’s ok, just know he will never leave you nor forsake you and will make all things beautiful in your life in His time! we luv you Sista, your husband Ronald and children. In Jesus name..

Kuzins Nation: Please pray for the NFL players missing from fishing trip in Florida, and their beloved families. Jesus is our ever present help in times of trouble. Standing in the gap for all souls in Jesus name…
Thank you all Beloved Kuzins,
“Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays” (from a sister today)

Sista RJ, Liz and Dawn, Thanks for your encouragement. I am so alone sometimes, and right now it seems like there is silence form heaven. It hurts so much, but I am trying to hold on and be faithful. I am lifted up here reading all of your words. I want to have joy and happiness again too. I want to have my dreams come true. I pray that God would give me a small glimmer of hope so I can be strengthened. I reading the bible everyday, trying to seek him with all my heart. I am looking up all of the scriptures that you all give me to help me- thank you so much for showing me the power of God’s words. I hope to one day be stronger,
(especially for my kids) and not sound so defeated on this website. Thank you.
Steph

Sorry I wrote that wrong. I meant to say just worry about one day at a time. That is what I do and it seems to help me see the positive in the day.

Joe: still prayin for you and the boy’s… going to try and see you in Calif….say hello to all, give me some prayer targets…….Love you guy’s, like the new “Tube” look!!
