The Matters of the Heart with Bishop Sharon Jones

"Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip." (Hebrews 2:1)

Today, 3.8 million breast cancer survivors, and those living with breast cancer, use October as an occasion to share their personal cancer stories amid celebrations and memorials, for those who have lost battles with the disease. Every activity that is held try to be a source of encouragement to the women and men, yes men also suffer from this disease, who are yet going through the treatments, pushing forward, keeping their faith alive. Listen in as Elder Melody Parker gives her personal testimony of being a 32 year survivor. I know something is going to be said that will bless you and give you strength for your journey. NOW, listen in!

You can be going through something so hard in your life until you start to wonder, "Why am I here? Why did God create me? Why was I born? What is my purpose?" All of the whys and the what for questions start to enter your mind. You question your existence. NOW HEAR THIS! You, yes you, are special to God. He made you in HIS image. He made you to have fellowship with HIM. You are special.

Be perfectly honest with yourself about this question. Whether you are going to church or not, be honest. How many of you think that you can hide things from God? Doing things that God cannot see? Saying words that God cannot hear? Let me kill the lie that the enemy is trying to make you hide behind in your actions. You can't hide anything from God. He is the all-seeing, all-knowing; before you say it, before you do it, God. You can't hide ANYTHING from God. If we're true and honest with ourselves, then God can help us!

Have you ever heard of a “happy” brain chemical? Neither had I. But there is such a thing. The Bible says in Proverbs 17:22, “a merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” Medical Researchers say, Laughter is the Best Medicine. Listen! This episode is going to bless your heart. Lose that frown and ENJOY.

Christmas is a beautiful time of the year with all of the beautiful colors and lights. When I look into the eyes of little ones, oh the joy. When I see the faces of seniors light us and to hear the beautiful music. Christmas music is not like any other. Christmas is a time we can gather with family and friends and just fellowship with food. It's a time to remember the love that God has for us, to give His only begotten Son. Listen as I read The Reason for the Season from the Holy Bible. ENJOY!

Just a short word for someone that will bless your life and set you free. "Let grown people make their own decisions. Make their own mistakes. It's THEIR decision." Free yourself!

WOW! It's been a while. BUT WE'RE BACK. Thank you for joining me. We will be opening this new episode with a discussion from my RefresHER Retreat on beautiful shores of Daytona Beach. It was PHENOMENAL! Even though this was a women's retreat, the panel's discussion is appropriate, and needful, for men and women. "UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS DRAIN YOU: IT’S TIME TO REFRESH." Sometimes in choosing friends and relationships, we can make decisions that are not healthy for us; and if truth be told and we are honest with ourselves, those friendships and relationships can drain you, almost, dry to the bone. LISTEN to the end. It will bless you. Now enjoy!!!

You may not really realize it, but, there is power in your tongue. The tongue can be used as a weapon to harm and destroy, or a tool to build and heal. Your words have impact. Your words can cause a forcible collision to come into your life. Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. Open your hearts, listen, and be blessed.

The Lord is pouring an overflow on the church. Who is the church? The BELIEVER is the church. Are you prepared to ride the wave? Ride it out to the end.

It's been 2 years. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!! God Bless us all.

During these two years plus of the Corona Virus and all of its variants, the racial unrest, the political divide that has literally pitted our nation against itself; and so many other issues that we must deal with every day, it has caused the faith of some to grow and to trust God in spite of what is going on around them. Yet, there are some who have found themselves weakened in their faith, and weakened in their confidence and fellowship with God. It is not because they have lost their belief in God, that’s not it, nor have lost their desire to be a part of his kingdom, not at all. But they have the feeling of somehow being abandoned and left alone to carry a load that is just too heavy. That is truth! LISTEN and be encouraged.

You may have never experienced prayer before in your life, and you just don’t know what to say. It’s not hard. Talk to God like you would talk to your best friend. You spill your heart to your best friend. You trust them to keep what you are saying in confidence. They will not be able to help you in every situation, but God can.

You may feel, sometimes, that God is not listening to you when you pray. But I tell you, that not only is he listening, but his eyes are on you. He knows right where you are in life. He’s listening to every word that you speak, not just from your lips, but the words from your heart. Yes, God hears the words of your heart. He desires to be strong in you and to grant you those things that you ask him to do with a truthful heart. Listen and enjoy!

Isn’t it something that even in the times of hardships, difficulties and uncertainties, that God, while we are going through, while things don’t look so good and prosperous, is YET breathing on us a refreshing assurance that his promises stand sure in our lives. God is sending showers of blessing upon us. Listen and enjoy.

Let me say this to you my listening friend. Being a child of God does not exempt us from trouble. It won’t stop it from coming. But the comfort is in this. We are not in it alone! The Lord is with us.

The Lord sent YOU a 2 minute encouraging word. LISTEN.....

The month of February was Debt Cancellation and Money Management episodes. What's that in your hands? My guests gave us information on how to get out of debt and how to stay out of debt by learning to manage our money. You need to go back and listen to those again and make it up in your minds that you are coming out of this and staying out of it. Debt is not the plan of God for our lives. Healing and prosperity is the plan. It's a "I wish above all things" with God. I feel like running! Listen to my personal testimony AFTER I followed the plan.

A personal question TO ALL of us no matter the age. What are you doing with what's in your hands? We so often are very careless with our time and money, and think that God is not watching nor is he concerned. Yes he is! God sees, cares, and take note. Can you be trusted? A good question to ask yourself. CAN I BE TRUSTED? If we are faithful over a little he will make us ruler over many; (can I say much.) What are you doing with what you already have? What's in your hands? Listen and Enjoy...
