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 3^rd 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.

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….!!!!
