SEASONED.!!!

Was just talking to a close friend of mine that believes there seasoned when it comes to relationships, but has there guard up when it comes to dating because of hurt from a previous relationship. I don't call that seasoned, because a seasoned person knows that putting your guards up; only blocks you from what GOD is trying to bring to you. Am I saying to let everyone play with your feelings and emotions ? NO! But I am saying, USE YOUR DISCERNMENT; that GOD given ability to judge the things that come your way. Make sure people line up with THE VALUES AND PRINCIPLES YOU LIVE BY. DEMAND THE RESPECT YOU GIVE. If the people that come into your space don't line up..UNDERSTAND THEY ARE NOT THE ONE! SO STOP TRYING TO MAKE THEM BE WHO THERE NOT....DESPERATE PEOPLE COMPROMISE AND FIND THEMSELVES ABUSED AND MISTREATED, because COMPROMISE IN THIS REGARD, IS SIMPLY CHANGING YOUR BELIEFS TO FIT SOMEONE ELSE'S..!!! True SEASONED FOLK NO THE DIFFERENCE...and don't get it twisted, SEASONED DOESN'T ALWAYS HAVE TO DO WITH AGE. Some people don't need 20 years of the same experiences to learn how to change there methodology on doing things. Women especially! GOD has given y'all something us men don't posses (INTUITION!!!). The BIBLE SAY YOUR GIFTS WILL MAKE ROOM FOR YOU AND PUT YOU IN THE COMPANY OF KINGS AND QUEENS..!!! So put your guards down and use the the GOD given GIFT OF DISCERNMENT... LEARN from your past and YOU WILL PERFECT YOUR FUTUR..!!! Be Blessed my friends and stay tuned for my next GOD inspired Blog of the day..!!!!

The road least traveled

 As I sit here in this beautiful and fabulous villa (St Maartan) meditating on HOW GOOD my GOD has been to me and how many people have missed the true meaning of being FREE. So many people think only of what they want, instead of what GOD has for them, or better yet what HE has already prepared for them. I read a book today called " The Road Less Traveled". The book was so on point about complacency in people. Not in the sense of being unwilling to work, but not willing to ask GOD what to do in any given situation, because it could mean doing something that could cause temporary pain or suffering. Most people would rather simply hope that their way works, rather than train themselves to obey the voice of God,and receive his best for them. If you believe there is a GOD and that HE loves you and he has your best interest at heart, why not ask HIM what to do, and be OBEDIENT TO HIS RESPONSE? Even though it may cause suffering or pain, you have to know it's for your GOOD...RIGHT? When we were children our parents would say NO! to some things because they knew something we didn't know, concerning whatever it was that we wanted at the time. We would cry and get upset, because it was something we really wanted to do or have. We would go through all kind of emotions because we thought it was so unfair, then later on in life we would learn and realize that by our parents saying No, saved us from all kinds of pain and suffering. Some of us even raise children, and have to tell them no for the same reasons. Is it our intent to want our children to suffer? Or do we love our children and understand that all that we desire is not healthy for their growth and development? GOD is the same with us as adults. If we really take the time to ask, HE will show you why some roads are the least traveled or that shouldn't be traveled at all. GOD is an Omnipotent, all powerful,Omniscient, all knowing and Omnipresent,everywhere at the same time God! HE WANTS AND HAS IN MIND THE BEST FOR US. HE KNOWS WHAT WE NEED AND WHEN WE NEED IT. You can rest assured that everything we are suppose to have; we will have, when HE says we are ready. It's only painful and considered suffering when we don't want to wait, get lazy and don't want to do the work (BELIEVE). I've been guilty of this same behavior. When I want something I want it now! Relationships, money, different career moves...ect... I've purchased things that weren't wise, and had to suffer later because it wasn't the right time or season, but It was something I had to have now. How many times have you done something that came back to bite you? If you would of just waited, it would of been a BLESSING instead of a Burden. His yoke is easy and his Burdens are light! GODS WORD says; that HIS BLESSINGS COMES WITHOUT HARDSHIP. THE THINGS THAT YOU WANT SO BADLY, BE COURAGEOUS ENOUGH TO WAIT ON IT AND ASK GOD FOR THE WISDOM AND COURAGE TO GO THROUGH WHAT IS NECESSARY TO OBTAIN IT. HAVE YOU EVERY ASKED YOURSELF WHY ADAM AND EVE, NEVER ASK GOD WHY THEY COULDN'T EAT FROM THE TREE OF GOOD AND EVIL? They had specific instruction not to eat it, and they disobeyed. Why? Were they afraid HE might not respond? Or were they too lazy and didn't want to hear HIM? Because it may involve to much effort on their part? I'm sure they didn't know the ramifications of there disobedience, like so many of us today. Do you really understand the ramifications of your actions when you disobey God?or Do you feel like you're grown and you can do whatever you want? True enough HE has given us FREE WILL to make our own choices, but that doesn't mean we can do what ever we want, or that there won't be consequences. Do you count the cost of every decision you make? Do you really understand that doing GOOD doesn't always mean its the RIGHT thing? As a BELIEVER IN CHRIST, I can look back over my life and say I've missed many opportunities to be lead by GODS Perfect Will, THINKING I KNEW what to do and when to do it. I've taken many so called short cuts that I felt would cost me the least amount of pain and misery possible, and was dead wrong. In fact it cost me more than I gained. How many of you have gotten into relationships with people you didn't ask GOD for. Even better, GOT out of relationships GOD said you could have, but because that relationship was challenging, you took the so-called easy way out. Have you ever asked yourself maybe that's what you needed to become the wife or husband, HE intends you to be? WE are lazy by nature and it takes true maturity to RECEIVE EVERYTHING GOD HAS FOR YOU. IT MAY FEEL A LITTLE painful (if you are not truly surrendered to HIM), It requires discipline. It's a Must process, HE sometimes uses for our growth and development. I'm not dismayed anymore when people walk in and out of my life, because I'm Assured in HIS WORD THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD, FOR THEM THAT ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PLAN AND PURPOSE. Even though I miss some of those relationships The KEY word HERE, is HIS PLAN AND HIS PURPOSE. As BELIEVERS; WE ARE NOT FREE TO DO WHATEVER WE WANT, BUT EVERYTHING HE WANTS. THE BEAUTY OF THIS IS THAT NO MATTER WHAT THAT MAY BE, ITS ALL ON HIM TO MAKE IT WORK FOR OUR GOOD. NOT ON US!!! As you put that in perspective, we are never lost or in a bad place, because HE'S BOUND TO HIS WORD. I don't know about you, but that takes a lot of pressure off of us trying to figure out what we need to do to secure our future. Whether it's a job or choosing the right mate. GOD knows exactly what is right for you. HE KNOWS which job that will bring HIM the most GLORY or that mate that will bring you the most fulfillment to HIS PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE. In this last 10 month of my life, I've become more obedient in TRUSTING THE VOICE OF THE LORD THAN IVE EVER BEEN, and it has proven to be the best days of my life. I no longer have had to worry about money, and relationships. Even though before this transition, I had more money and people wanting relationships with me, than most could ever hope for. It still didn't come close to the place HE has me now, because my past decisions were based on my own efforts and not HIS GUIDENCE. ITS WAS A FALSE SINCE OF SECURITY, THAT EVENTUALLY LET ME SEE THE HEARTS OF PEOPLE AND EVEN GREATER THAN THAT. IT LET ME SEE MY OWN HEART AND MOTIVATION FOR THE THINGS AND THE PEOPLE I ACCUMULATED AROUND ME. I NO LONGER CHASE MONEY, NOR THE THINGS THAT IT DRAWS TO ME. IM TOTALLY DEPENDED ON HIS LEAD, AND IT HAS GIVEN ME TRUE SECURITY AND FREEDOM. TRIPS that I WAS PAYING THOUSANDS TO ENJOY I'M ENJOYING WITH OUT THE COST, NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT I HAVE BUT BECAUSE OF WHOM I HAVE DIRECTING ME. IVE BEEN LIVING A DREAM. I NO LONGER WORK HARD, BUT SERVE HARD. HUSTLING FOR MONEY AND THINGS THAT PRODUCE RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE BASED ON THE THINGS I ACCUMULATE ARE NO MORE. I NOW SEEK THE HEART OF PEOPLE THAT I MIGHT SOW INTO, AND IN RETURN THEY SOW BACK INTO ME, REAL GENUINE FRIENDSHIPS THAT ARE BASED ON GOOD VALUES AND PRINCIPLES THAT ARE FUNDAMENTAL TO LIFE. MY NEW CIRCLE OF CONFIDANTS ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE GENUINE WHO LOVE AND RESPECT THE GOD IN ME. GREAT PEOPLE THAT ARE DRAWN TO WHO I AM AND NOT WHAT I HAVE. THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CHOSEN BY GOD TO BLESS ME AND TO PUT A DEMAND ON HIS ANOINTING IN MY LIFE. EVEN THOUGH I REALIZE NOW, THAT THIS IS THE ROAD LEAST TRAVELED BY MOST...I IMPLORE YOU TO STARTING ASKING GOD; WHAT TO DO, HOW TO DO IT AND WITH WHOM TO DO IT WITH. IT MAY FEEL PAINFUL AND COULD CAUSE YOU A CERTAIN LEVEL OF DISCOMFORT INITIALLY, BUT IF YOU LEARN TO TRUST HIS GUIDANCE, YOU WILL SOON SEE HOW HES DEVELOPING YOU TO WALK IN HIS PERFECT WILL, WHICH WILL CAUSE YOU TO HAVE SWEAT LESS VICTORIES. TRUE HEAVEN ON EARTH (FREEDOM). BE BLEESED MY FRIENDS AND STAY TUNED TO MY NEXT GOD INSPIRED BLOG...!!!!

Servanthood

today I was tested with the meaning of true servanthood. What is servanthood, you might be asking yourself? It's very simple. It's a passion to serve. Ministry is to serve. There is a certain level of ANOINTING, that all servants carry. Servants that are called to pastor and counsel others go through a breaking process to be built back up. Servants serve when times are hard, when there misunderstood, and in good and bad times, no matter what. When GOD calls you, your heart must be tested for authenticity. How do you Handel being poor (no body knowing you)? How do you Handel popularity (people praising you)? Are you prideful and arrogant? Being a servant challenges ones heart to be shared. You have to be able to be under authority First in order to lead. GOD can't trust you unless you trust HIM FOR EVERYTHING....!!! As I'm now working and have my own place; the responsibilities that come along with that, I've found myself questioning my true servanthood. The measuring of my ability to follow and listen to instructions given by authority. I've been slow to respond in a few corrective action measures I've had to make on the job. It's much easier not having anyone to answer to, because there is no expectations. There is know one checking on your progress. As the principle of the school I'm contracted with chastised me about things she didn't like about my program, I was forced to reevaluate my true loyalty, in serving the kids and the parents I have in my program. True and deed, I didn't like the spirit the principle approached me in but, I had to remain humble and respectful of her thoughts no matter how unprofessional she may have delivered them. We can never be controlled by another persons lack of respect or negative behavior towards use. Someone else's behavior should never dictate how we respond. If your a sweet , happy and a upbeat person, stay that way, no matter what others may do or say to you. As I close this blog, my prayer is that GOD gives you a REVELATION that will hold you in the mist of your storm. Remember! In the KINGDOM OF GOD Servanthood is a KEY TO TRUE PROSPERITY. Be BLESSED my friends and stay tune for my next GOD inspired blog of the day...!!!!

My New Home


When I think about the beginning of this journey ("Divine Transition").  I think about the Valley’s, I was in for 9 month straight, and how it felt like the mountain top, most of the trip.  Though I have had many challenges, I still had the time of my life.  I traveled freely, I dated the girl of my dreams and most of all I’ve learned to trust GOD like never before.  Choosing to trust GOD through it all, has really taught me how to REST IN HIM.  I really understand now, what it means to REST.  IF IT DOESN’T CHALLENGE YOU IT CAN’T CHANGE YOU.  Change is good people.  On this DIVINE journey, I have experienced FREEDOM.  GOD has shown me PURPOSE and a new VISION.  I thank HIM for every obstacle, every hurt and everything that has come against me in this TRANSITION.  I've grown to be a man of PEACE, POWER, AUTHORITY AND POSSESING DOMINION, which is our original position in the earth.  My testimony now is that, if you truly TRUST THE LORD, there is NO LIMITS TO WHAT HE WILL DO, FOR THOSE THAT BELIEVE...!!!  My new home serves as a sign that those that seek FIRST the KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS (HIS way of doing things) all these things shall be added.  Everything and everyone that was supposed to be with me in this Transition, is still here and I appreciate your Love and your ability to see the GOD in my life.  Some have sown money and others have shared their love, and prayers.   For that I love you to life and you will share in my PROSPERITY, because you shared in my suffering.  Words can't describe the gratitude I feel for those that BELIEVED GOD with me that HE would be Faithful to HIS WORD HE spoke to me; concerning leaving my city and relocating to a foreign land.  Some felt I was just a hopeless dreamer with no direction, BUT GOD…LOL.  I implore you that are reading this, to listen to that Invisible partner (HOLY SPIRIT), that sometimes faint voice that speaks to you, with direction for your life.  How do you know if it’s the Holy Spirit? #1 way you no its HIM, is because it takes FAITH #2 it requires COURAGE #3 It must line up with GODS WORD (meaning that if it is not in the WORD it’s not HIM) #4 you will have PEACE #5 which is the hardest for most people.  It will Go against the natural REASONING and RATIONALIZATION of this World. (John.16:13-14) the Holy Spirit will guide you in ALL TRUTH AND SHOW YOU THINGS TO COME. All things the FATHER has, JESUS has, and the HOLY SPIRT will Transmit it to you, giving you the mind of Christ...!!!!

Dominion


 

I just got back from one of the greatest 8 day trip’s I’ve ever had.  For those that don’t know, I was asked and actually paid to serve and be a Blessing to some of the sweetest people, one could ever meet.  To be paid for an 8 day vacation, was just an added plus.  We had many adventures and heart felt sharing.  My life truly has shifted to another level of receiving from GOD.  If I haven’t been trusting GOD with all my heart, I surely am now.  He showed me things this past week that only a 3rd of the world gets to experience.  The people I had an amazing time ministering and sharing time with, are not only rich from a financial stand point, but also from a Kingdom of God perspective.  What I mean by being rich from a Kingdom perspective is this.  You can have all the money in the world and still have no substance, because success has very little to do with what you accumulate, possess or achieve.  It has even less to do with other people assessment of your accomplishments or assets.  Success is only defined by your obedience to the PURPOSE GOD gave you.  GOD only blesses us to be a blessing to others.  With that being said, these people surely have both, and I had the incredible opportunity to be a recipient of the substance they poured out.  It’s amazing how GOD would find me worthy to sit with such great men and women of the Kingdom.  If your destination in life is to be wealthy, you have to be surrounded by those that are already there.  This trip has given me a few more mentor’s, that understand Kingdom living and that appreciated the GOD in me.  I know my destination is a very wealthy place, because my natural has to catch up to my wealthy spirit man.  I’m a child of the Kingdom, the Royal priest hood; therefor natural situations must come under my DOMINION.  Heaven and earth are participating with my Destiny.  All creation is to respond to me.  I’m being raised up to be a money distribution center for my community.  GOD is now translating the Wealth; I already have in the finished works of Jesus, into the natural realm that I may be able to see it with eyes.  Angels right now are in super natural operation bringing about GODS will and purpose for my life.  The bible states “Believe in the LORD your GOD and you shall be established, and to Believe in HIS prophet’s and you SHALL PROPSER”.  Thanks to this trip and my obedience to GOD, my life has now taken a shift.  A shift to another level in GOD, that’s filled with natural manifestations of HIS GOODNESS.  He promised me that when I moved to a foreign land that HE would be with me, and that HE would show me what true wealth is.  I wish others could learn from my example, and quit valuing only what they see, instead of what they hear GOD say in HIS word.  GOD cant lye, therefore his promises must come to past.  Wait on the LORD and HE will renew your strength and make you to mount up with wings like an eagle.  My Love for the LORD is getting stronger and stronger; as I trust HIM for every move I make and follow the lead of HIS HOLY SPIRIT.  I’m in such a great place, covered with the helmet of salvation, protecting my head from the thoughts of this world, and the breast plate of righteousness, protecting my heart from the cares of this world.  My feet are firm footed from the peace that the Gospel (unmerited Favor) brings.   The Sword of this spirit which is the word of GOD, that causes manifestations.

Be blessed my friends and stay tuned for my next GOD inspired blog of the day…!!!

DIVINE CONNECTIONS


On my second day on the job, I feel so blessed and grateful for GOD being so faithful to HIS WORD.  I love the children I’ve been Blessed to work with and the amazing staff that work with me to nurture, educate and push to these beautiful children to the next level in life.  I’ve waited 8 months to be a force in these children’s lives.  What an awesome task and privilege to be able to impart knowledge and wisdom to such young fresh minds.  Dealing with so many people of all ages sometimes desensitizes you from understanding or believing that there really are people that want and appreciate your impartation.  I love knowing I make a difference in some one’s life.  That’s our divine purpose to leave a mark, a legacy behind that leaves a road map for others to one day follow into Destiny.  There is enough people leaving there children with generational cures and soul ties, and don’t even know it.  Let’s make a conscious decision today, to start over and do what’s right now.  You can’t change the past, but you can definitely change your future and the future of others watching.  It’s so much easier to do better today than to try and fix yesterday.  Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you, this is why HE came.  HIS Purpose is to comfort, lead and guide us in all truth.  We as people, try to do so many things by ourselves, when we don’t have to.  Consult your HELPER  (Holy Spirit) and watch how life decisions starts to become clearer.  I asked the Holy Spirit everyday where should I go and what I should do.  Its little things, that HE shows us, that will make a tremendous difference in your life. 

I’ve been looking for a place to live that’s closer to my job; I have looked at a few places that have not really sat well in my spirit.  I know when the Holy Spirit is talking because #1 it requires FAITH #2 it requires COURAGE #3 it requires PEACE and #5 it usually goes against my natural reasoning and the rationalities of the world.   I haven’t felt any of that until today.  Today my brother called to talk about the contract I received with a very diverse school in Roswell, Ga.  Initially I thought the school was in Alpharetta, Ga, but I was mistaken.  Very close but no cigar..lol   Any who, I told him about the school the teachers, faculty, children and my awesome staff.  As the conversation went on I told him how I wanted a place out there to be closer to where I’m contracted, due to the fact that shortly, I’ll be teaching there as well.  He then remembered a friend he has been connected with, for over 15 years.  He called him and made the connection, and found out his son goes to the school I’m contracted at.  Shortly after, me and the gentleman spoke on the phone and I felt the Holy Spirit telling me he is the one that will help me in the process of finding my new place.  Now tell me, for those that just believe in happenstance.  What’s the probability of me after 8 months of being here, getting a contract in a city 45 minutes from what I’ve learned to be familiar with, and then get introduce to a gentleman my brother knows that is dying to get me set up and connected In that area, that’s meeting tomorrow.  Let me help you, IT DOESN’T HAPPEN without “DIVINE CONNECTION” IN A “DIVINE TRANSITION”.  I wish I could get the world to trust that small voice whispering in there heart, to just trust HIM, so HE may change their lives in ways they haven’t even dreamed of.  Be Blessed my friends and stay tuned to my next GOD inspired Blog of the day.

Fustrations

 
Today I got a phone call from a good friend of mind that was frustrated about their living arrangements.  The person they have been staying with, has really been pushing there buttons.  As I began to minister to them about staying strong in the situation, the HOLY SPIRIT then reminded me of something that Peter made mention of.  In II Corinthians 12:7 Peter quoted that he was given a thorn (a splinter) in his flesh, a messenger of Satan, to rack and buffet and harass him, to keep from being excessively exalted. What was Peter talking about?  I believe he was referring to his ego getting the best of him because of the praises of people.  So GOD aloud satan to agitate and cause some type of frustration, through some means, to keep him focused on the call or the purpose GOD gave him, without carnality getting in the way.  The Revelation that then hit me, was that those things that frustrate, anger and sometimes hurt us, is the Cross we bare until GOD chooses to deliver us from it.  One the hardest things in life, is dealing with people. Why?  Because we are human, and being human means, we are imperfect and we will mess up, time and time again.  Whether it’s not keeping a promise or not being the most pleasant person at times.  So the next time you get upset about the imperfection of man; remember that, it could be GODS way of motivating you not to be satisfied or comfortable with where you are in life.  It could be HES way of pushing you to stay on the path HE has set for you.  So Set your goals, and follow the plan GOD has planned out for you and watch that road become less bumpy, knowing that this is not your final destination..!!!  Be blessed my friends and stay tune for my next GOD inspired Blog of the day.

Being Grateful


 

       Today I am so grateful for GODS faithfulness.  I’m grateful, because HE is so true to HIS WORD.  About three weeks ago, GOD spoke to me and told me that within 30 days HE would literally started translating HIS finished works out of the spirit realm, into the natural realm.  That, those blood bought manifestations, would start to overtake me.  This Transition would start to take a turn in my favor, with income, my own place, and permanent transportation in tack.  Well Tuesday of this week I was phoned by a company that has had my resume for about 2 months, and never has taken a look at it until that day.  When the women called me, she stated that her supervisor asked her why my resume, and she replied, “because, he’s from Toledo, Ohio.  Her supervisor said she wouldn’t have ever bothered with someone that lives that far out…Lol..!!! The FAVOR and FIATHFULNESS of GOD is amazing.  This was actually the women’s first day of work and she called me for a meeting (look at GOD) She had just moved here from Columbus, Ohio.  Something about Columbus...hmmm.

 I was hired in as a site director, at a local school, in Alpharetta, Georgia, being responsible for supervising and training about 5-6 employees.  This has surely been a long journey of many obstacles, twist and turns.  I started this journey alone, just GOD and I, and I’m finishing it that way as well.  “Transition” has been good for me, even though I’ve had to cry sometimes to release some emotions, from frustration and heart break, but I’m still here.  We never know what GOD has for us, or when HE will manifest HIS promises, just know HE will be true to HIS WORD.  All we ever need is in HIM.  He promised never to leave us or forsake us.  He told us to keep our lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have (Heb.13:5).  I can honestly say I have trusted GOD in this “Transition” more than I can ever remember.  The ride has been one of such great enlightenment.  Enlightenment about what’s really in me, and what's not in other people, that I was connected to.  I don’t regret any of this “Transition”; I just wish some could have made it with me.  Could you imagine the bond that would have been shared?  Some just are not ready for GODS best yet.  No matter how hard we try as believers, everyone we love won’t make it to their purpose.  It cost too much, and most feel like they have went through enough of life’s rough patches.  So they continue to play it safe, not realizing there dying a slow death.  We can’t dictate what GOD is going to allow us to go through, to get us to are promises.  Our job is to just make sure we line up with HIS WORD and the rest is on GOD (No matter what it looks like).  You can’t judge your future on your past, because most of the time, in our past, we were not even following the teachings of the LORD to be able to even resist Satan and his demonic henchman.  Now that we no better we should do better.  GOD is waiting on you to just leap out on faith and let HIM truly heal your heart, and allow you to DREAM again.  Some have been so fearful that they even stopped dreaming, feeling like it will never happen for them, unless they marry some rich man or women, which is putting all their faith in flesh.  GOD will never allow you to prosper until you learn to trust HIM, and HIM alone, but remember GOD is a SPIRIT and works through people (HIS PEOPLE).

I will finish today’s blog with a HALLELUJAH and THANK YOU JESUS….What the devil meant for my destruction, GOD made it for my GOOD.  Life is so GOOD and I wish the people I love would just take hold of HIS goodness and LIVE….REALLY LIVE….!!!!  Instead of the everyday, every week same old, same old…Be blessed my friends and stay tune for my next GOD inspired blog…. Praise Report, MY NEW HOME….!!!!

Prelude to my Book "Transition"


Prelude of my book

 

Transition is described as a movement, development, or evolution from one form, stage, or style to another.  This book is about one man’s Faith walk to purpose, and the many life challenges that being obedient to the call of GOD has.   This book will serve as a true example of how the universe will open up, when you starve your fears and feed your faith, when you have more faith in GODS promises than you do Satan's lies.  Go on a journey with me, through Transition, as I share some of my intimate thoughts, as I fought through trials, tribulations, heart break and the everyday frustrations of life.  Through this 9 month journey, you will get a chance to visualize how I battled between following the principles of this worldly system or the principles of GOD Kingdom.  Witness my growth and how I learned what it was to be a True Believer in Christ Jesus, and the cross one must bare to walk in His Promises.  Obedience allowed me not to make any excuses for my situation and empowered me to follow that small hidden voice to freedom. 

As Believers by Faith we have to launch out into all the written (WORD OF GOD) possibilities that the finished works of Jesus offers us. Take a trip with me as The Lord allowed me to be broken, pruned and developed through heart ache, deception and my own carnal (selfish) desires.  Find out how I went from a six figure income with every material want I could think of, but yet had no real joy.  How dating some of the most beautiful women, men would ever want, but brung me no true self-worth, but only served as a reminder of what popularity and material attracts from people.  To zero income with a peace that surpasses all understanding, which produced a life of substance and passion for the things of GOD.  Find out How I learned that a certain picture you paint of yourself will cause other to love you with a worldly love (emotional), that Love that’s based on the possibilities of what could be, not the God kind of love, that’s committed Love, meaning circumstances cant change it. 

Through this Spiritual Journey GOD showed me what true substance looks like, and how important our purpose as Believers in Christ is.  Without purpose, life is as shallow as a person dating because of status or the type of car someone drives.  The sad reality is that's what America is turning into, a bunch of people chasing people and things (myths) for happiness; there made up answer to completeness.  

I was inspired to write this book to help guide and save our next generation of young people and possibly give revelation to my peers and elders.  Before this Transition, I thought I was living a life of selflessness, dedication to helping the plight of mankind, by fostering homeless children, providing many different services and programs for uneducated and economically challenged families in my city, but Through this Transition, GOD has shown me that it was all vain works and that I haven't even scratch the surface of servitude.  We as Believers are only as good as the people we help realize their potential and purpose they possess in HIM.  We must poor ourselves out completely to help the lost, and let the LORD refill us.

This Transition has opened my eyes to a whole other world of possibilities in which I want to share with the world.  It has shown me a world, where material and money are just things that SERVE us and not what we serve.  95 percent of the people I know are struggling financially, which makes them a slave to money and things.  They have to go to work every day, maybe even work overtime or work 2 or more jobs to pay for things they didn’t even need.  This world is filled with people wanting, and willing to do anything to get it.  In 2013 the U.S. total consumer debt is at $11.4 Trillion, including mortgages, auto loans, credit cards and student loans.  How can this be, when GOD has given us everything we need, that does not require debt?  In this Transition I’ve learned how to live in a different government, the government of the Kingdom of GOD, a debt free system of doing things.   Read and find out how to be translated into a new system of living that’s not controlled by wants (greed, and selfish desires), but by purposeful GOD directed living.  People that are after the riches of this world will never really experience the Joy of the LORD, which is our true strength and completeness. 

                By the end of this book you will feel empowered to no longer except the lies your circumstances tell you.  You will learn to appreciate the small things in life, and understand that walking by faith may entail being broken, being broken to all your desires and selfish wants.  You may be forced to trust your struggle, with your heart broken from bad relationships or just everyday situations, and all along doing the will of GOD, while waiting on HIS Promises to manifest in your life.   After reading this book, my prayer is that you start to challenge yourself to ask GOD to enlighten your eyes of understanding to HIS finished work, and totally understand what price HE paid for our Freedom.  Be Blessed my friends and stay tuned to my next GOD inspired book…I love you with the Love of Christ our LORD and SAVIOR..!!!

Resting in GOD

What is RESTING IN GOD? How do you REST IN HIM? Well let's start with the word RESTING; Cease work or movement in order to relax, refresh oneself, or recover strength; to remain or be left in a specific condition: “Rest Assured”. Is this the type of RESTING the LORD was referring to when HE advised HIS followers to take REST in HIM? One of my favorite scriptures is Matthew 11:28-30(AMP) because it gives a clear understanding and vivid picture of why we would be obedient to his invitation and then how we reap the benefits of RESTING IN GOD. In verse 28 The LORD gave a specific group an invitation to COME to HIM. HE said EVERYONE that labors, those that are heavy- laden (loaded down) and those that are overburdened (helping everyone, but yet, know one helps them) and HE would give them REST. That sounds like everyone I know. How many people you know are stressed out, full of anxieties and worry? Those are the people the LORD told to come and HE WOULD EASE, RELIEVE AND REFRESH THEIR SOUL. Your soul is where your emotions live. This is where your fears and anger reside. The Soul is the seat of your feelings. That's where you feel the pressures of life. So how does GOD EASE, RELIEVE AND REFRESH your soul? Well the next verse tells us to take HIS yoke upon us and to learn of HIM. A yoke is something that was used by farmers to lock the necks, usually of Oxen together to do work. The yoke would keep them together going in the same direction while working. So The LORD is asking us to become bound to HIM at the neck (the part of the body that controls where we look and focus our attention) and learn of HIM. As we become bound to HIM, in the SPIRIT because HE IS A SPIRIT, and then learn about HIM through HIS WORD which is TRUTH! As HE moves… we move! Now the effort we once put forth trying to make things happen (Carnality) HE'S now making happen, because THE BATTLE IS NOT OURS BUT THE LORDS II CRON. 20:15 (AMP). Once HE does it it's FINISHED, as a matter of fact, IT'S ALREADY DONE, IT’S BEEN FINISHED! HE left us nothing ELSE to do, but BELIEVE (having Faith in the finished works of Jesus). I believe that's REFRESHING. Our only work is to get to know (studying to show ourselves approved) Him. To know HIM is to trust HIM. To know HIM is to LOVE HIM. That’s the burden HES made light for us. Let’s get yoked up together with Jesus and REST in the KNOWING that the work has already been done. REST in the KNOWING that our way has already been made. REST in the KNOWING our ransoms have been paid (remember the BLOOD). There is no more debt, JESUS paid it all! Be BLESSED my friends and stay tuned for my next GOD inspired blog of the day.

Seeking Substance

Prov.31:10-12 (Amplified) A capable, intelligent, and virtuous woman, who is he that can find her? She is far more precious than jewels and her value is FAR ABOVE RUBIES OR PEARLS. The heart of her husband trusts in her confidently and relies on and believes in her securely, so he has no lack of gain or need of spoil. She comforts, encourages, and does him only GOOD as long as there is life in her. Sounds like a women of SUBSTANCE to me! People today say they want SUBSTANCE without having any idea what it really is. I hear women say all the time they don’t want men that are attracted to them just for their beauty, but yet that’s all they give a man to see. They take more time beautifying themselves than they do showing there intelligence or giving their talents. Not knowing, you can’t see substance. SUBSTANCE isn't tangible. SUBSTANCE is not a big house, expensive car or large bank account. You can't see it, taste it or feel it. Substance is something many women say they want in a man, but do they really? If so are you willing to pay the price? SUBSTANCE will cost you everything. SUBSTANCE may mean leaving a nice comfortable beautiful home. SUBSTANCE may mean leaving all you know to travel to a strange land (obedience). Did I say having SUBSTANCE may cost you something? It will cause people to leave you, even people you love (because they don't want to go through the trials with you)..!!! Ok so why does SUBSTANCE cost? The number one reason SUBSTANCE cost, Is because we must die to self (everything we feel makes us…. us!) (comfortability). The bible says we must die daily. Being a BELIEVER means we are led by the SPIRIT of GOD, and being lead, requires obedience to the voice of GOD. Think about how many patriarchs in the bible were called to leave their riches to trust the voice of GOD. Did The Lord have them give up riches and honor among men because HE just wanted to see them alone? No I believe it was for them to grow more intimate with HIM and to realize where their real security comes from. GOD can never trust anyone that has no SUBSTANCE. People with SUBSTANCE are no longer caught up with their own popularity or caught up with the praises of the people that only followed based on what they had and what they look like. I realize money and material possessions are very attractive to those that have never really had their own or to those that are shallow, but when you really get a taste of the FATHER you will realize the SUBSTANCE HE gives and those things no longer have significance or hold true value. Your life begins to be filled with so many other possibilities that money could never buy. True love for example, material has no barring in relationships full of SUBSTANCE; BECAUSE THE FOUNDATION is rooted in LOVE and Love is GOD. Where does money and material come in at? Money comes into it when one or both parties have no FAITH in the others relationship with GOD or realize the price that they may have to pay for this love may be to uncomfortable. Therefore revealing the lack of SUBSTANCE, love or understanding the other may have. Let me prove it to you. Let’s take King David. He was a man of SUBSTANCE that became wealthy because of his SUBSTANCE. David was a true leader even when he was over looked as the king because of his appearance and the job he held. Man looks at the outer but GOD see what's within! GOD never used anyone that had it going on from a worldly perspective. He always uses those that others have counted out. Then he prospers them as they walk in obedience. Look at Job, his friends turned their back and the love of his life threw in the towel as well, and forfeited her BLESSING, because Job was seemingly cursed (money and assets where gone for a season). Job was all alone, no one believed in his transition, his new elevation. Why is that? It may be because they never really loved him at all but was just attracted to the “Myth” of who he was (prosperity he had), or maybe they just had their own things they were concerned about and didn't understand the principles of GOD. Not knowing that When you choose to lose yourself to BLESS and support others (showing true SUBSTANCE), HE'S OBLIGATED to take care of your struggles (issues). Now let’s talk about what exactly SUBSTANCE is: The dictionary definition says that it is the ultimate reality that underlies all outward manifestations and change. SUBSTANCE is having the attitude that says to anyone you come in contact with, that you possess the power to elevate them to next level of living. SUBSTANCE is letting GOD build you from the inside out, even if it cost you your comfortability, your popularity and worldly possessions. People with SUBSTANCE are not subject to what others think about who they’re with, and what they have and don't have. SUBSTANCE is an overwhelming knowing that your life has already been designed and you have an attitude of gratitude for every small thing that GOD has allowed you to go through. Most people think they want a person with SUBSTANCE and will lie and deceive to get that person until they see how much it cost. Then they become like the rich man that couldn't make it into HEAVEN cause he was too caught up on his material possessions (money) and the thought of how he was going to make it if he gave his wealth away (self-consumed). But just think if he would of..! It takes a person of SUBSTANCE to be with a true KINGDOM woman or man of GOD(the price is too great for most). The sad thing is these people never reach purpose, because purpose is wrapped up In SUBSTANCE....!!! Be BLESSED my friends and stay tuned for my next GOD inspired blog of the day.

Broken Hearts

The world is filled with people going through every day life functions with BROKEN HEARTS. They have BROKEN HEARTS from disappointments, BROKEN HEARTS from BETRAYAL and BROKEN HEARTS from ABUSE...ect..! The seriousness in the matter is that most people don't even realize there HEART Is BROKEN. They feel healed set free and delivered. They figure they have moved on or have moved passed whatever it was that had broken them. Why is that you might ask? It may be because, they no longer feel the hurt or at least the pain of it, but does that mean it’s gone? In reality, your HEART could still be broken, unless JESUS HAS REALLY HEALED It. If not, it’s just temporarily until something reminds us or does something that causes us to remember, and then we start getting flash backs of what we went through and what we lost. So then the running begins. The running begins because of the fear or pain we once felt, and the thought of that brokenness, usually outweighs the possibilities of what GOD has placed in OUR life in that moment. We become so paralyzed by those memories that we go right back to hiding, hiding from what could be. Being healed and delivered from something doesn't mean we forget, it just means it doesn't control us anymore (doesn't have the same effects). When We are really HEALD we have freedom to love life and people with no boundaries. We become very optimistic, trusting and BELIEVING that whatever GOD said we can have, WE HAVE. No matter what the situation looks like, we know we will never truly be alone again. We BELIEVE THAT our GOD WILL supply us with ALL our needs (Phil.4:18) So why are so many people operating in life with BROKEN HEARTS? It’s because most cover it up by marrying or getting in relationships that are myths. What are myths? Myth are the fantasies we make up when we feel will complete, because someone may have money, status, or beauty. When truthfully none of that has GODS POWER to HEAL OR COMPLETE us. Some people last months before they are on to the next one and some last for years, never understanding the real issue, but soon as their mate doesn’t add up to the myths or they get reminded of something that hurt them, the signs of that BROKEN HEART re-surface. The problem in situations like this is that people sometimes expect more from their mate than they do GOD. Ladies and gentleman Completeness (PERFECTION) comes from the LORD. Are we really happy alone? Can we honestly say we don't want a mate? Most people are looking and praying everyday for someone to complete them, someone that can make them feel SECURE, and LOVED UNCONDITIONAL. Not understanding that our completeness, security and unconditional LOVE can only come from GOD. Until we TRUELY accept GODS LOVE AND SECURITY, We can never be WHOLE and HEALED from Our BROKEN HEARTS. Therefore, man/woman's imperfect love will never be enough because we haven't TRUELY accepted GOD’S PERFECT LOVE (WHOLENESS) Prov. 4:23 states to guard our HEARTS because out of the HEART flows the issues of life. That’s why it’s important to be fed by the WORD of GOD! So how do our hearts get unbroken? How do we become whole without looking for the approval of others to complete us (which most of us are guilty of)? #1 We have to be in the right ministry (church) that's feeding us GODS WORD of GRACE. That's done by being faithful to bible study's and regular Sunday attendance. #2 We have to forgive ourselves and stay consistent on that GRACE PATH. The bible says not to get weary and faint (run,give up), because in due time and that appointed season we shall reap. #3 WE must be secure in GODS LOVE, and SECURE in HIS IDENTITY. As we step into are WHOLENESS we are identified by HIS GLORY, HIS MAJESTY AND HIS COMPLETENESS. Nothing can harm us. We become bold in are FAITH and can have regular relationships that we add to and not take from. We stop to being abusers (people that hurt people), users (people that take from people) or confusers (people that send mix messages because they are never sure). I challenged you today to accept GOD’S COMPLETENESS AND BE WHOLE and let HIM HEAL your BROKEN HEART...!!! Be blessed and stay tuned for my next GOD inspired blog of the day.

Fear vs Hearts Desires

Fear is an internal enemy of your HEARTS DESIRES. Fear will rob you from the greatest things GOD intends for you to have. You have to check fear or it will turn into panic. You have to open your mouth and talk back to fear. Speak The WORD... Speak! 2Tim 1:7 For GOD didn't give us the spirit of timidity (fear) but of POWER, LOVE, CALM, WELL- BALANCED, DISCIPLINE AND SELF- CONTROL. You have to tell fear you don't have time for it! NOW, LATER or EVER! Fear will talk you out of things (DESTINY) GOD has given you permission to have. We PRAY for things and GOD grants it and because it’s not totally packaged just right or may take a little more patience to fully MANIFEST, we get scared and run. You can't look at where you are and what you have to sum up what you think GOD is capable of doing. There is hidden recourse that you have no idea existed, that GOD is just waiting for the right ingredient (FAITH) to release it. There are strengths that GOD put in us to weather the storm. We as people seek the opinions of others to try and figure out how and what to do in moments of fear. The world can never tell you what GOD said you can have (only GOD). They can never tell you the potential of something or someone (only GOD). If GOD said you can have it, it’s yours! If GOD said you would be wealthy, you will be! But understand that you will be tested on EVERYTHING GOD SAID YOU CAN HAVE. It's the devils job to try and make you run away and forfeit your BLESSING. His job is to scare you from moving when GOD said GO! There will always be provision for what GOD tells us to do and where HE tells us to go. We may not always feel it or see it, but we MUST BELIEVE IT!...That's the hardest thing for people to do, is BELIEVE THEY CAN BE OR HAVE THEIR HEARTS DESIRES. The things we go through as children of GOD, qualify us for things to come. Don’t despise the struggle or battle you are in. Whatever challenge or fear that may attack you please be reminded that you are right where you are suppose to be! Keep the right spirit and fight for what's yours. GOD is looking for the people HE can trust with their HEARTS DESIRES. Those that won't run from their PROMISE, those that can BELIEVE AND TELL fear to back off! Any time GOD allows you to go to the bottom and HE raises you back up, HES not worried about you being arrogant and self consumed. He knows you can be trusted with HIS PROMISES. One look back and we are reminded how far we have come. GOD IS LOOKING FOR US TO REMEMBER WHAT HE HAS PROTECTED US FROM, AND WHAT HE HAS PROVIDED even when we didn't believe and fully trust HIM. What fear has you running, and Forfeiting GODS PROMISES TO YOU? I challenge you to have FAITH AND BELIEVE THAT GOD WOULDN'T HAVE EVER TEASED YOU WITH SOMETHING AND THEN HAVE YOU BE fearful of it. BELIEVE IN THE PROMISE AND WATCH YOUR HEARTS DESIRES MANIFEST....!!!! Be BLESSED my friends and stay tuned for my next GOD inspired blog of the day.

Self Evaluation

This passed week I was forced to really exam myself on a level I never thought was necessary before. IV always felt like a good Loyal, trustworthy and sincere person, that never hurts anyone (which most people think about themselves). I had to do some SELF EVALUATION. Have you ever stop to think about the way You may talk to people when frustrated or passionate about something? Do you think about how you communicate when lots of emotion is involved? Do you get brash (self-assertive in a rude, loud or overbearing way)? Are you quick to always be right? Are you super aggressive to the point where you may be viewed as abusive in speech. In James 1:19 (AMP) he talks about being quick to hear( being a ready listener) slow to speak and slow to take offense and get angry. Most people are not really good listeners, we form opinions of what we think people are saying (or what we think they really want to say) without hearing what they are really saying. We then take offense and out hurt get angry and speak out fast with a bunch of emotions. The problem with emotions, is that they change, but the scars they leave don't leave so easy. I understand we are all human, but that doesn't excuse negative speech. If we start being more mindful, by SELF EVALUATING and start TRUELY listening more and really understanding the message being delivered. Misunderstanding and hurt feelings wouldn't be so common. We ruin great partnerships and relationships with being so quick to speak without hearing. Take a SELF EVALUATION and see if your really listening or talking. Are you always right? Do you think about the other persons feelings when you speak? Being Right doesn't always mean your being affective. All these are to be considered while communicating with others. You never know how many people feel abused or misunderstood by you. SELF EVALUATION is a must. Know one is perfect and right all the time. Misunderstandings happen everyday and its up to you to EVALUATE how you listen and respond. Our responses should always be from a position of LOVE and not with a spirit of offense. LOVE never offends but protects and brings comfort. LOVE wants to give peace and joy. SELF EVALUATE AND WATCH GOD WORK WONDERS IN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS...!!!! Be Blessed my friends and stay tuned for my next GOD inspired blog of the day.

MEN

Man's soul design was to LEAD (give direction) and to have DOMINION (AUTHORITY) in the earth. Attributes of GOD (HIS Image and Likeness). On a previous blog, I talked about being broken bread and poured out wine, which became necessary, due to the sin committed in the garden of Eden. Since the beginning man has been challenged with walking in the IMAGE and LIKENESS of GOD. If no one has ever told you about the ransom that was paid IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS or you HAVE just chosen not to BELIEVE... You need to know that the BLOOD OF JESUS HAS GIVEN us back our TRUE IMAGE AND LIKENESS. You might be asking yourself what does all this mean? GODS IMAGE AND LIKENESS. LEADING and having DOMINION. Well let’s start in the order GOD spoke it. In HIS IMAGE and LIKENESS means That God has given man INTELLECT (the ability to learn and understand) FREE WILL (the ability to choose between one action and another) SELF-DETERMINATION (determining our own lives) and SPIRIT (GODS BREATH) which is HIS SPIRIT. MEN we will never be satisfied with the world’s way of doing things. That's why most men have an unquenchable thirst for multiple women. There really thirsting for that belonging that only comes by and through the WORD OF GOD. MAN will always have a hunger for the things of GOD that's why (Matt.4:4) talks about not being satisfied with just natural food but to feed our SPIRIT MAN. We have GODS Nature inside of us. This ultimately allows us to know, Love and commune with HIM and others. So now that we understand HIS IMAGE AND LIKENESS. To LEAD and DOMINATE (having authority over) was HIS next command. Hebrews 2:7 says that MAN was ranked lower and inferior to the Angels; but was crowned with GLORY (a state of great gratification or exaltation) and honor (worth being respected). He was given charge OVER EVERY WORK OF GOD HAND. GOD placed EVERYTHING UNDER OUR FEET. No wonder HE made us a helpmate...lol. That's a lot of responsibility for MAN. Ok, so now that we understand what HE commanded of us. Why did HE give us so GREAT of a responsibility in Earth? That purpose was so that we would represent the rule and reign of GOD to establish HIS Plan and Purpose, and to manifest HIS GLORY (majesty). HIS LIKENESS AND IMAGE. Most MEN have not accepted their true calling to rule and reign in the earth by dominating what GOD has given them to ruler over (their talents). We are too busy trying to rule each other which was not on the list that was to be ruled by MAN. The Bible said to follow me as I follow Christ. Another example was the parable of the Talents (Matt.25:14-30) when the man entrusted his servants with his property. One he gave 5 another 2 and another 1. Each one he gave according to their ability. When he returned the one he gave 5 and 2 they doubled it, and he was very pleased and gave them more. But the one he gave the 1 to had the same 1 he gave him when he left. The master called him wicked and slothful and took the one from him and gave to the one that had the most. Why did he call him wicked and slothful? Wicked originates from the word wicker which meant to twist (candle wick). The twisted definition of wicked was formed from an easier word meaning weak. Slothful was considered a condition; not liking to work. So the master was calling this man weak and lazy for not taking authority and walking in GODS IMAGE AND LIKENESS. This was such a serious crime that he casted him into the outer darkness. How many of you MEN feel like you’re in outer darkness, lost with no purpose? If I'm talking to you, you need to asked GOD to forgive you and to enlighten your eyes of understanding on how to walk in HIS IMAGE AND LIKENESS and to figure out what business is inside of you that your suppose to be DOMINATING AND LEADING others to recognize. Men we have been in trusted with the awesome job and responsibility of being like our FATHER. Let’s take our rightful places and subdue (rule or reign) the Earth and be FRUITFUL (producing good or helpful results; productive). And stop sitting around abusing and mishandling your mate because you have lost your LIKENESS AND IMAGE GOD said was so and that JESUS gave HIS BLOOD for. I'm up for the task, are YOU?

Women

PUSH I read a post the other day that has made me think about the importance of women in the life of a MAN. Why did GOD create Adam a helpmate (Eve)? What was her true purpose in his life? Why did GOD say it wasn't good for him to be alone? The amplified said it’s not sufficient, satisfactory that man be alone. This leaves the implication that he was lacking something without a woman. Well let’s see what HE said about the woman. Gen.2:18 (AMP) says that the women would be Suitable, Adapted and Complementary. Taking a closer look at the meanings of these words, Suitable being the first word means, Right or appropriate for a particular person, purpose or situation. Next word is Adapted, meaning suitable for a new or purpose; or becoming adjusted to new conditions. Last but not least Complementary, which means combining two or more different things in such a way as to enhance or emphasize each other’s qualities. So is it safe to say that GOD created men that have Goals, Plans and Dreams with a need for a Woman? I would dare to say yes! My rationale is based on the Word of God and also the feeling you have as a man when you have a woman that has Faith in your dreams and vision. No matter who else doesn't Believe, as long as she does, you feel as if you could rule the world, but if she doesn't you don’t feel as confident and start to second guess your vision. A woman’s support will change a man’s reality from impossible to possible, from maybe to definitely! Women, never underestimate your power and perspective you have in relationship with your man. You are a force that GOD said was Right, Appropriate, Suitable, and able to adjust to new conditions. HE also said you would enhance and emphasize the quality of your Man. That's a heck of a responsibility and privilege at the same time, knowing your significance in the life of your man! You are partners in the vision. So HIS DREAM now becomes YOUR VISION. Beside every great man of faith and vision is a WOMAN PUSHING. In a sense, it’s the woman’s job to make sure her man reaches his purpose. So ladies anytime your man acts like or even says he doesn't need you or that he can do this without you. Remind him of your GOD given Purpose and continue PUSHING him to GREATNESS...!!!! Be BLESSED my friends and stay to tuned to my next GOD inspired blog of the day.

Believing the vision

VISION and the Reality of that VISION (MANIFESTATION) our on opposites sides of each other. When GOD gives us VISION HE never shows us the road we must travel to get there. We never see the frustrations, the pain and the misunderstandings You may encounter with others. When VISION is first realized its exciting and some times very overwhelming. The thoughts of what you will have and what you will be will consume your dreams and thoughts. Life becomes so great and everyday is filled with such warm feelings and great expectations. Then over time the reality of our ups and downs and circumstances that may not allow you to do things you would like to do, starts to frustrate and kill the enthusiasm you once had about the VISION GOD once showed you. Kind of like relationships. When you first meet a person everything is to good to be true, nothing that a person does changes your thoughts of your future with them because you believe in each others plan and VISION for your life. Then those up's and down's start to happen and the enthusiasm of the relationship starts to waver or be strained. The VISION you once had in that relationship is Eventually lost, forgotten or second guessed. That my friends is right where the advisory wants you. Back to the trying to do things ourselves instead of TRUSTING the VISION. Those are the times we need to get into The Lord Presence to strengthen us to remain faithful to the VISION that we first believed . When we give in to desperation we open the door for something else to stop us or slow us down from GODS intended Purpose. Know one said getting to purpose (VISION) would be a easy transition. When your purpose (VISION) driven you always have the temptation to focus more on temporary struggles of the journey than you do to the ONE (GOD) THAT GAVE YOU THE VISION. Remember if HE GAVE YOU THE VISION, THE PROVISION WILL FOLLOW. You must have FAITH to see the VISION through. If not you will never have what GOD said you could have. The bible says though the VISION TARRIES TO WAIT ON IT (Hab. 2:3) The VISION WON'T DISAPPOINT YOU... ONLY BELIEVE....!!!!!

Do you Know Your Purpose?

(Prov. 19:21) Many are the plans in a mans heart but GOD's PURPOSE shall prevail. God designed us with a certain PURPOSE, we may not know or like it, but it doesn't change what we where designed to do. GOD might allow different situation and circumstances to come in to our life that may change what our PURPOSE looks like , but HE will never change our PURPOSE. PUROPSE is so serious that Jesus Dried up a fig tree for not producing fruit (its intended PURPOSE) Our true PURPOSE is what gives us meaning. Your vocation or occupation is most likely not your PURPOSE but may be the vehicle GOD uses to get you there. So don't be so consumed with your jobs that you miss PURPOSE.  Our LORD AND SAVIOR (Jesus Christ) profession was a carpenter, but that wasn't HIS PURPOSE. With out PURPOSE we are reckless and lifeless. That's why men/women have such a hard time fulfilling PURPOSE. The absence of fathers has crippled the human race. One of the jobs of Fathers is to impart PURPOSE; which gives direction in the lives of there children. So what do you do when your natural father never spoke PURPOSE into your life? You must communicate with your HEAVENLY FATHER (your creator). This is done by being mature enough to except HIS SON JESUSE as your LORD AND SAVIOR. then learn to yield to HIM (HIS VOICE), and let HIS HOLY SPIRIT speak PURPOSE (vision) in you. Many people our busy doing all kinds of things that may or may not be self fulfilling, but are not aligned with PURPOSE. Remember no matter how much we resist or fight to go another rout our PURPOSE never changes. Dont forget the story of Jonah (Jonah 1:2) Jonah ran as long as he could from PURPOSE (his true design), but at the end of the day his PURPOSE never changed. He just went through unnecessary turmoil for not following GODS plan for his life.  How many of you are in self inflected turmoil, for not hearing or understanding your PURPOSE?  Just like HE did with Jonah when he went another route, GOD has a way of redirecting us. Wether through pain and misfortune or by our obedience to HIS voice. For true peace, joy and fulfillment we must do what GOD created us to do and stay on the path of PURPOSE, that one day we also can say like Jesus said on the cross...IT IS FINISHED...!!! Be BLESSED MY FRIENDS AND STAY TUNED TO MY NEXT GOD INSPIRED BLOG.

Prioritizing



      How do you PRIORITIZE when life seems to keep disappointing you? When people come in your life and take a piece of you and leave you all alone? How do you redirect the pain of lose? Things you thought would be forever that only lasted for a season.  I say you started making choices that fulfill your purpose and destiny.  Life is filled with so many distractions and people without vision and understanding of their purpose, that if you are not careful, they can make your life seem just as empty. Jesus made His decisions based on His purpose. The purpose HE came to fulfill here on earth. HE was never moved or surprised when others turn their back and denied HIM or left HIM.  Most people are only consumed with self (there issues and problems), not realizing that when you help others GOD is obligated to help you (remember to focus on your PROMISE and not the problems of life) When you understand your purpose you know why people do what they do, or why your finances maybe under attack and any other situation that plagues your life.  So when they leave you or deceive you and hurt you. Don’t let the pain take you out the race. Truthfully they are the ones really hurting.   It's not for you to dislike them or talk negatively about them, but to pray that God enlightens them to HIS purpose. When people are purpose drive they look at life with a different pair of lenses.  Money, relationships and past scares never effect or stop them from their Purpose.  So let purpose (vision) be the guide, that leads you to those people you let into your heart.  The bible says that people perish for the lack of knowledge (vision) which is attached to your purpose. You never want to give the wrong people to much of your time and emotions.  It could delay or derail you from it. So as you make your life plan to deal with the challenges of this world, make sure you allow GODS purpose for your life to determine your PRIORITIES.

Being Broken

      Today I had another demeaning attack against my FAITH; another humiliating moment; a moment of pruning. To GOD be the GLORY where all BLESSINGS FLOW; I'm determined to get EVERYTHING GOD has for me; I won't murmur or complain about these fiery trials. I'm reminded of JESUS’ crucifixion…He told GOD the FATHER to forgive those that had defamed HIS name; to forgive those who have condemned HIM to die, even though HE knew it would be unto death. HIS reason was that they “knew not what they do”. If they REALLY knew that HE was their SAVIOR they wouldn't have ever spoke Ill of HIM. Another scripture came to mind, to love and pray for those that persecute you (Matt.5:44Amp); Also, I love this next verse, (Luke 6:27-28 Amp) where HE says to treat well (do good to, act nobly toward) those who detest you and pursue you with hatred, and pronounce BLESSINGS (GOD FAVOR) upon those who abuse you (who revile, reproach, disparage, and high-handedly misuse you). WOW, that’s POWERFUL. Why in the world would the LORD say these things concerning your enemies? The author asked the question, why should GOD reward you if you only love the people that love you? Basically, are you showing HIM that you’re HIS son/daughter if you only pray and wish good for those that do the same for you? Jesus was literally broken and beat to pieces for us to LIVE (not to get what we deserve), so if we are going to Reign with HIM we must suffer with him; WE HAVE TO BE BROKEN BREAD AND POURD WINE. We can never be OVERCOMERS if we never have anything to overcome. We all have different experiences, different crushing's, per se, but we all must be broken and crushed(Christ Like). I don't know about you but I know I'm right where HE wants me to be. Our prayer must be, send me LORD, use me and find me worthy of YOUR best! Whatever it takes for my perfection, I'm willing to walk that walk and embrace the breaking; I know HE is with me know matter what.  I thank the Lord for the new ideas being birthed out of my crushing and for showing me how to carry them out.

Trust your Struggle


   Today I was reminded of my struggles; the struggle of unemployment; the struggle of being dependent on others for help; the struggle of fighting the feelings of “why me”; the struggle of what I did to deserve my life circumstances…basically, the classic "poor me syndrome"? This prompted me to look up the word "STRUGGLE". The Webster dictionary describes struggle as making strenuous or violent efforts in the face of difficulties or opposition; or, to proceed with difficulty and great effort. How many of you are struggling today; facing difficult times, opposition or having to use great effort to maintain a positive attitude or outlook on life? I implore you to TRUST YOUR STRUGGLE. I know you all are probably wondering just how you trust something that's difficult and painful. Hmm…it puts me in the mind of exercise and weight training. For those who are into muscle growth, you know that you have to tear down your muscles in order for them to GROW. Even though it’s a painful, strenuous, and sometimes difficult task, it’s a requirement for GROWTH. So, you might ask, “Are you saying that struggle means GROWTH?” Yes. Many of life experiences where we encounter struggle, we are  building strength. Whether it’s physical struggles for muscle GROWTH, OR mental struggles which builds CHARACTER / INTEGRITY. Spiritually speaking, the flesh hates to be told no. But as you practice telling it no your SPIRITMAN begins to GROW. As your SPIRITMAN GROWS your whole life is affected. You’ve heard it said that it only takes 30 days for something to become a habit (good, bad or indifferent); that's why it's important to get into the practice of repeating affirmations daily. Speak to your struggle, tell it thank you, UNDERSTANDING it's EQUIPTING you for GROWTH (Rom.5:3). Your mind has the power to take you wherever you want it to go (power of thought). TRUST THE STRUGGLE to take you just where you want to go and need to be. TRUST THE STRUGGLE to introduce you to your DESTINY and your PROMISE!!! Most people really don't trust the struggle so they abort and tap out (quit and/or blame others). Will you TRUST THE STRUGGLE in your life and let it have its PERFECT WORK? I hope so because it’s the only way to be BUILT for the job; the job of a BELIEVER a TRUE KINGDOM BUILDER (GODS man/women).

Living By FAITH


    As I awoke this morning, looking forward to another GOD filled day, I must admit that I was not feeling my best; so many things were running through my mind. I began thinking about my next move and what should it be.  I thought about employment; about having a home of my own again. I also thought about my time frame…how long and what will it take to obtain. I can’t help but think about whether I have overstayed my welcome in my friend’s home. Needless to say, a certain heaviness started to overcome me; so, I did the only thing I know to do in situations such as this…I started to pray and meditate on the PROMISES of GOD and not the problems.  As my SPIRITMAN (SUPERMAN) emerged, I started to remember that the JUST shall live by FAITH (Rom.1:17).  FAITH gives you the POWER to MENTALLY receive, to take full possession of, GODS ABUNDANCE; HIS WEALTH; HIS FAVOR; HIS LOVE, HIS HEALING, and HIS PEACE.  When we are truly RECEIVING GODS BLESSINGS, our minds, our conversations, and our living will be affected/change.  Most people think doing right causes you to be RIGHTEOUS, but Christianity is not about doing right to become RIGHTEOUS, it’s about BELIEVING in GOD, UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS (if it was by works, we wouldn’t need GRACE) (Rom.11:6).  Jesus’ death served as a ransom for every wrong thing we have done or will ever do, or think about doing.  Again the battle is in our minds.

    Part of my daily prayer and affirmations is putting on the full ARMOR of GOD, and as I got to the part where I shod my feet with the preparation of the GOSPEL (the UNBELIEVABLE GOOD NEWS OF GODS UNMERITED FAVOR) of PEACE, for the first time, I thought about what that really means.  The amplified bible says "to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the GOOD NEWS".  So, your position in life is from a VICTORIOUS POSITION. The fight has been fixed, we have already won…this is what the UNBELIEVBLE GOOD NEWS is all about.  As BELIEVERS, we are a part of the ROYAL PREISTHOOD; we are VICTORS and not victims; we are FIRST and not last; the curse has been lifted and the veil has been torn (Heb.10:19-20).  The COVANANT with GOD is no longer based on the law (how good we can be) but on HIS GRACE (UNMERITED FAVOR).  This was such a deep and comforting REVELATION this morning; this is what it means when they say that GOD gave HIS ONLY begotten SON, so they we may LIVE (BE SAVED).  I’m feeling so encouraged right now, I can’t help but to PRAISE GOD and BLESS HIS HOLY NAME! With the understanding that it’s nothing we did, this is more than enough reason to SHOUT and give HIM all the GLORY! Aren't you glade your success is not based on your perfections/imperfections or how great of a person you are?  I certainly am, because at times, we all miss the mark with our actions and deeds and even our very thoughts. (YIKES) thoughts too? Yes your thoughts too.  Always remember that GOD knows our hearts just as clearly as HE sees our actions.  Have FAITH that all is well with you in HIM.

Can you STAND to LEAD?


    As I sit here today, in a foreign place, resting and enjoying my time of waiting on GOD’S promises, I was reminded of what it takes to lead. Earlier, I received a call, informing me that I needed to return the car I’ve been driving (while my vehicle is in the repair facility). With that in mind, I may have to, again, resort to public transportation; for those who are reading my blog for the first time, in order to get to the bus stop, I have to walk 2 1/2 miles in the hot Atlanta sun…OUCH, that’s painful. As I contemplated that fate, I was then reminded that A LEADER gives guidance; A LEADER gives instructions. A LEADER also has to go before whatever or whomever they are leading. What I’m saying is, a LEADER must be trained and developed in order to LEAD. What does that mean? Glad you asked (smiles)…A LEADER must pave the way; many times he or she must tread in foreign waters…first; they may have to go through unchartered territory…first. By following specialized instructions and practice, A LEADER is developed and in order to lead, one must become proficient or better yet, an expert in their field. (Luke 24:26 amp) stated that it was good that Jesus had suffered all these things before entering into HIS GLORY, HIS MAJESTY and SPLENDOR!!! Jesus Christ was and is every BELIEVERS Perfect LEADER. With that said, pain is very necessary for the DEVELOPMENT of LEADERS that will walk in the IMAGE of CHRIST. Jesus bore every pain associated with this world; HE faced abandonment, frustration loneliness and betrayal; which leads me to believe that there must be a process to this thing called LEADERSHIP!!! Do you feel that we can cut corners that our SAVOR didn't? My question to you today is "Can you STAND to LEAD"? For those of you who know that you have been called to LEAD, don't focus on the process, focus on the PROMISE. You may ask, just what is the PROMISE? The PROMISE IS SUCCESS IN GODS COVENANT KINDNESS and COVENANT FAVOR; GODS GRACE (getting things you didn't earn or deserve); HIS SUPER NATURAL INCREASE, RESTORATION, HONOR, INCREASED ASSETS, RECOGNITION, PROMINENCE, and most of all BATTLES WONWHICH WE OURSELVES DON'T HAVE TO FIGHT. A LEADER must always remember that this race wasn't given to the swift but to those who can and will endure to the end (Eccl.9:11) (Matt.24:13). For those of you who are LEADING GOD’S people, HOLD ON AND BE STRONG IN THE LORD. The trials and tribulations you face are HIS way of DEVELOPING your SPIRITUAL MUSCLES. So, as you get ready for your day, put on the full armor of GOD, the helmet of Salvation, which protects your mind from the thoughts of this world. Put on The Breastplate of Righteousness which protects your heart from the cares of this world. Gird up your loins with truth and prepare your feet with the PEACE of the Gospel (overwhelming good news). Also, pick up the Shield of Faith that you may quench every evil attempt by the wicked one. Pick up the Sword of the Spirit, which is the WORD of GOD (Eph.6:11-17 Amp). Today you shall be victorious not because of what it looks like or feels like, but because of what and in whom you BELIEVE!!!

What do u do while waiting?

What do you do while waiting? As I awoke on Saturday morning, I worked out with some friends at Foster Beach in Chicago, Ill. Yeah, I know, you're wondering how a trip to Chicago happens with no employment, right? Well, life is truly amazing!! As I typed this blog I was sitting eating breakfast at Nookies, a nice American style restaurant; the food was great and if you're ever in Chicago's Historic District in Edgewater, you should try it. Ok, now back to how I happened upon a trip to Chicago...as I reflect back to Friday, I'm thanking GOD again for allowing me to TRUST HIM. Initially, I wasn't going to make the trip to Chicago, based on my financial situation; however, I began to ponder, BUT WHAT DO YOU DO WHILE WAITING; waiting on GOD to open doors for you; waiting on God to give u that next great million dollar idea; or even waiting on someone to respond to the hundreds of applications for employment you've submitted? Well friends, I say you take advantage of every opportunity and seize every moment. Opportunities to see something new; opportunities to meet someone new; opportunities to learn something new. It's called networking and that's exactly what I've been doing with limited financial means. As you are a BLESSING to others, they will be a BLESSING to you (universal law). As I mentioned in a previous blog, I was ask to help some friends drive back to the old town I lived in (which, by the way, I ended up driving the entire trip). As a called a few people to let them know I was coming to town, one friend asked me to accompany him to Chicago later that evening and further stated that I need not worry about spending money, he said, "I got you, not only for helping me drive, but also for the great company". How many people think you're great company and want you around them for inspiration or simply to have a good time? We all have qualities that people love about us; do you no what your qualities are? If so, how are you perfecting them? Do you read? Do you pray? What are the things you're practicing that will help you be a better you? One of the biggest tricks the devil plays on us is to convince us that we should be alone, and isolated; he knows there is power in unity. In (Matt. 18:19-20) the Bible talks about touching and agreeing with others. There is power with being connected with others of like minds; those wanting the same things we do. So, if the bible is correct, why do we run away from others when we're going through life's valley experiences? Is it embarrassment? Is it that we don't want others to know what we lost or what money/material things we no longer have? Well, I was forced to silently answer each of those questions as I'm transitioning to my PROMISE!!! Friends, the battle we fight as people, as BELIEVERS, is in the mind. I found myself wanting to hide from the world out of embarrassment and a fear of being judged. I started to see how the devil uses the mind to shake us (Luke 22:31). Why does it matter to us what others think about our position in life and do they really even care? As I'm starting to understand the POWER and AUTHORITY I walk in, as a BELIEVER of CHRIST, I am not ashamed of where I am in life; I know this valley is all for the greater good; it is preparing me for where I'm going. I understand that it's WHAT WE DO WHILE WAITING that truly determines if and how fast we come through the wilderness. The children of Israel could have made it through the wilderness in one week but took them 40 years to get to they're PROMISE LAND. It took the dying away of the old mind sets for them to get they're INHERITANCE. Their old mind set were them waiting to see GOD move first, as he did when HE parted the Red Sea (when they were running from they're enemies); however, GOD was now trying to get them to now first BELIEVE HIS PROMISE. It took dying off the older folk before a new generation could BELIEVE and move in FAITH. The children that INHERITED THE PROMISED LAND were the ones that TRUELY BELIEVED that GOD would CARE for they're EVERY NEED. So friends, as you transition into your PROMISE, don't be fooled by the devils vices and tuck yourself away or isolate yourself from the world. Get out with others, enjoy every moment, do things you couldn't do before due to work or other obligations. Surround yourself with like minded people that believe in your dreams, those that BELIEVE your promise is closer than you think. Our GOD is not a respecter of person if HE'S done it for me, HE WILL DO IT FOR YOU! Be BLESSED my friends and Stay tuned for my next GOD inspired blog of the day!!!

SMALL THINGS


Today I REJOICED (to feel joyful; be delighted) because $24 was credited to my account! For those of you reading my blog for the very first time, you may not know that I have not had a source of income (from a job or business) for over 6 months yet I still have financial obligations; thanks to the Awesome, Incredible, GOD I serve, I haven’t missed a beat in meeting said obligations. Yesterday after working out, and enjoying the sunny 86 degree weather here in the beautiful city of Atlanta, GA, I stopped for a haircut by my fabulous barber, who, by the way, cuts my hair FREE (FAVOR); on many occasions, I have also been able to assist him in his time of need. Helping others is an essential attribute of a TRUE BELIEVER. If you haven’t helped anyone in the last 30 days, you’re really doing yourself a great disservice. Whether you believe it or not there is a UNIVERSAL LAW called “REEPING AND SOWING”. Definition plainly put, whatever you SOW or PLANT, you will REEP or get back in turn. I don’t know about you but I need all the help I can get (hint…hint…clue…clue); so, with that being said, I’m helping as many people as I can. Sometimes it’s the SMALL THINGS that BLESSES or helps someone through a rough day or night or season in their life. For instance, a simple smile or compliment can go a long way in certain situations; offering a ride to someone that doesn’t have transportation could mean the world to them. There are countless ways we can help others and I could go on and on about the SMALL THINGS, but I won’t. My point is that not only should we do nice things for others, but we should rejoice over the SMALL THINGS, because SMALL THINGS lead to big things (Dan.8:9)
After getting my haircut, I went home to shower. I got dressed and went to my Tuesday 25 cent wing spot only to find I couldn’t get in because I had on my OHIO STATE BUCKEYES basketball jersey. “NO TANK TOPS ALLOWED”. At this point I had two options, leave and go all the way back home, wasting gas (yikes) or go across the street to TJ Max or Target and buy a T-shirt for a few dollars; I chose option 2 (which cost a little more than a few dollars). At any rate, I enjoyed the wings and good conversations, and went home. After getting home I tallied up today’s spending and felt like maybe I spent too much and I started to feel wasteful, considering that I’m on a budget now. Speaking of budgeting, it has really been good for me; it’s helping me to practice restraint. That’s another SMALL THING I praise my GOD for. There are multitudes of people that have had millions of dollars (athletes, entertainers, lottery winners) that are now in financial constraints simply because they failed to properly budget. I’m sure when they were rolling in the money, to them, budgeting was a SMALL THING, however now, it is everything. Back to my original thought…I went to bed worrying about my actions on that day. As I awoke the next morning, with thoughts of PRAISE, I was reminded in my morning devotion as well as morning Bible study at church, to continually BLESS my LORD and SAVIOR for the SMALL THINGS. I hope you all are starting to get it…morning devotion and bible study (MEDITATING ON THE WORD OF GOD and being taught THE WORD). So as the WORD resonated in my mind as I worked out and finally made it to the house, I was reminded to call my bank about a $12 banking fee I received a few weeks ago. As I inquired about the fee, they determined it was an error on their part and credited my account, not just the $12 but $24. I’ve never been so happy and joyous over $24 in my life, however, when you start to be mindful of the SMALL THINGS your heart becomes more APPRECAITIVE, more EXCITED and more importantly, more SENSITIVE to the move of GOD. Be BLESSED my friends and stay tune to the next GOD inspired blog of the day!!!

WAITING on YOUR MANIFESTATION

 
Today’s blog was inspired by something I read today called “Down Time”
The author challenges us to examine the time(s), in our own lives, that we deem unproductive; this time of unproductivity is referred to as “DOWN TIME”. The author further challenges us to begin thinking of “DOWN TIME” as a season where GOD is allowing certain situations/events to take place in our lives so that we grow and develop, stretched, if you will. This growth spurt can catapult us into the right position to MAXIMIZE our potential. So, when you take a closer look, our unproductivity may not be unproductive after all. A few weeks ago, I told a friend that there are times when GOD needs us to “REST” before HE moves us into our next phase. I further stated that we, as a society, are so used to being BUSY that we view REST as being lazy.  When, in actuality, REST is a time of mental PREPERATION, a time for REFLECTION. REST keeps us from becoming tired or jaded, and can erase the deemed failures, of the prior year or season, from our memory. REST, or as we are referring to it, “DOWN TIME” is CLEANSING!
Many never realize or even think about the benefits of “DOWN TIME”; however, during the winter months, gardeners must WAIT until that season has expired to plant seeds. The winter months are very important for gardening; the winter freeze improves the soil, and also lightens it up; the snow insulates plants that would otherwise never survive the low temperatures.  The cold keeps pests and diseases under control.  Now picture that from the stand point of a human life.  GOD has always used nature to give us understanding of how HE wants us to operate.  How many of us embrace the winter season; that time of stillness or WAITING?  
Stress is one of the top killers to mankind. Why? Stress opens our bodies up to all kind of health issues that can be fatal.  About a year ago I found myself not embracing my time of WAITING; I started to allow all the “what if’s” to stress me out. My body started to break out into hives and I would itch all over. The thing is, most of what I allowed to stress me out, were things I couldn’t do anything about…I just needed to WAIT; I needed to allow certain things to play out in my life.  This makes me reflect back to another time in my life when I started my business and unfortunately, my business partner wasn’t fulfilling their obligations in the partnership.  This situation placed such extreme pressure and stress upon me that for the first time in my life, I found myself in the hospital for a stress condition.  I had no concept of what stress could take your body through; mind you, at that time, and I was only 28 years of age.  I couldn’t believe I was experiencing this condition, stress, again. I did the only thing I knew to do and that was asking GOD, what should I be doing? GOD continued to tell me to just trust HIM.  As the situation worsened, I decided to just embrace it and in spite of it all, enjoy life, for after all, there was nothing I could do, but WAIT.  I found myself on a real vacation; a vacation from my problems...LOL. As I embraced my “DOWN TIME”, I found that many of the problems I thought I had where really not problems at all; but rather GODS way of telling me that it’s time for something new. A major overhaul was in the making.  HE was erasing memories of failures of the year before, scouring my mental landscape.  I was and still am being pruned, cleared of anything superfluous or undesirable.  Pruned from toxic people; pruned from old mindsets and self-destructive behaviors.  I know that when I come out of this season there will be no weeds, no drought and no personal idiocies.  My life is being freed from impurities; my load has been lightened and I’ve been insulated to survive the lows in my life.  Those that know me know that I’m a giver of LIGHT and ENERGY, and that nothing can hold me for long, because I’m a BELIEVER, and TRUE BELIEVERS understand that Our Way is already paved for us.  Our job is to weather the storm; to embrace life’s lessons and testify of our GODS GOODNESS and MAJESTY to others.  WAIT on the LORD I say WAIT (Isaiah40:31)
