I WILL TRUST IN THE LORD!

Everybody wants to reign and go to the next level ~ but no one wants to suffer ~ the natural reaction to people or a person when they lie on you and run your name through the mud is to go in that persons face and be like: WHAT, WHAT, OH ~ I THOUGHT SO!!!!!! and man that feels good in the flesh or "the old me" lol ~ but in reality we have to remember that as we go deeper into the things of God and we begin to truly hunger and thirst for righteousness as well as walk in holiness ~ true we will be blessed and promotion is good, going to the next level and all that but..... what about suffering for righteousness? The world hates those that make Christ their Lord and Savior ~ not only that but when we say yes to Christ the fight begins ~ accusations are like butcher knives and lies are like daggers aimed at the heart...but nevertheless.....we have to remember the words of our Lord and Savior when persecution comes: "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me; rejoice and be exceedingly glad for great is your reward in heaven"

**EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW CHRISTS' POWER ~ AND HOW TO RECEIVE MORE ~

BUT NO ONE WANTS TO FELLOWSHIP IN HIS SUFFERING**

Suffering has a way of reminding us that it's not about us, but it's all about Him.......
and His will for our lives. Suffering can bring about fruitfulness. If we were constantly on the mountaintop and everything we touched turned to gold, what would we appreciate? When everything is going our way and we never encounter any problems, we tend to forget our source.
Suffering reminds us of our need of Christ, which causes us to rest in Him!!

TRUST IN THE LORD AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT!!!

The Assignment

Can you recognize the assignment due date? Do you have multiple assignment in your hand that you have yet to release? As we walk by faith and not by sight...as we discover purpose....we get a revelation that our time here on earth is very short....we begin to understand that we are pilgrims just passing through.

 Understaning that, we know that we have assignments while here on earth given to us by God. It reminds me of being in school and on the first day the teachers would give you a "course outline" this outline would have bullet points, assignments and their due dates. When we have progressed through the 1st 9 weeks, 2nd, 3rd & 4th, and let's say "finished the course" there would be NO excuse when it comes time for our end of year evaluation or final grade.   It's not until the first day - that initial day that we find out our assignment. The assignments can not be revealed to me if I am not in class or better yet "in purpose" because it is in class or "in purpose" that the assignment is revealed. If I skip class or if I am not living in purpose, I can miss the assignment. Living out of purpse produces spiritual lethargy and a mindset of   "What am I here on earth to do?"

The first day of school is on August 25, 1989 (I'm telling my age/10th grade..lol)...and the teacher say's, "students the final draft of your paper is due on September 15, 1989 ~ I know as a student that the assignment is for an appointed time...and at the appointed time... that which has been given to me has to be released to the person that entrusted me with it. I have to give the assignment up in order to prepare for the next assignment.

Often times in life we are hesitant to walk away from a "thing" because of our inability to discern that the "thing" is only temporary or an assignment. It could be a job, it could be moving to another city, starting a ministry or starting a solo career as an artist. We have to know that God called us to it for a season and when the time has come for us to move we have to recall in our mind that this was only an assignment and I have reached my due date. Thats why walking in the spirit is so critical.

There are times in our life when we live in reverse mode ~ we live outside in.... instead of inside out. When we live outside in, we are in control and led by our own carnal nature or our flesh....when we live inside out we are controled and led my the Spirit of God...."for those that are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God"

Do you have any over due assignments in your hand?

Showers of Blessings

....so I went to the coffee shop this morning to get that morning cup of coffee, walk outside and look up and noticed that the skies were overcast...this guy came out the coffee shop behind me and asked, "do you think it's going to rain" looking up, I said, "Oh yes" He went his way and I went mine....later I was with my mom in my city "Coral Springs, Florida" I looked up and said, "it's still overcast, I know it's going to rain" my mom said, "It already rained at my house (different city~Pompano Beach, Florida)....I was happy for my mom and now I became more excitied because mom lives on the eastside and I live on the westside so "my time" had not come (season if you will) we have to rejoice with those who rejoice (especially when we see the blessing of the Lord showering upon them) ~ I pondered this for the rest of the day and realized something......at times in our life we can (as well as others) see evidence of something getting ready to happen in our life~ "something" being SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS ~ OVERCAST simply means overspread or covered with clouds; ....... more than 95 percent of the sky covered by clouds. ~ Overcast is a stage so to speak of expectancy ~ when we have cried and prayed and prayed and cried and we know that God has heard us ~ our faith is ignitied when we walk outside and we see "OVERCAST" skies......we then know that showers are coming....we then can say, "I hear the sound of an abundance of rain" ...now overcast is not rain overcast is the stage before the down pour....I'm pursuaded that someone is at a place waiting and wondering....when will the rain come? Dear reader....I have a question for you (just as the man had for me at the coffee shop this morning) Do you think it's going to rain? ~ Getcha umbrella...cause it's going to rain!

Trapped

Out of breath - struggling to breathe - what in the world just happen to me - in and out I flash from death to life - I cry silently because no one hears- as a matter of fact the doctor just pronounced it was nothing else he can do - now I see my body lying in the bed - what am I to do? Can anyone hear me? Momma why you cryin - hey tell my fiance' to get off the floor/what is everyone cryin for? - hey everyone - I'm talkin to you - why is everyone depressed and blue? - NOT MY BABY! - they brought my child up in here too? Momma please get your grandaughter cause she listen to you - why is everyone staring at me? Wait a minute - if you are all around the bed looking at me - why am I standing way over here by the door - am I outside of my body? - Wait a minute I feel this strange pull - hey everybody grab hold of me - cause I feel my self slipping - help, help me please - why all of a sudden am I hearing screams? I'm out of the hospital room now - I'm in the dark - I'm falling swiftly - I can't see my feet - why I am feeling intense heat - what is that horrible smell - wait a minute...am I in hell? No one ever told me about this place - But I was good, I helped old ladies across the street - I went to church, I even sat in the front seat! I gave money, and I dressed the best, I even had that one book 7 Steps to Success - All I did was have sex every now and then - oh yeah and drank lot's of alcohol over the weekends with my friends - but I was good, I don't deserve this - wait a minute, is that demon staring in my face? And another one to my left and wait, there's another at my right - what am I to do? I have no fight - I thought church was a fashion show - I thought it was about shouting and screaming hallelujah, oh no! Why didn't any Christians tell me the truth? They kept this a secret - now thats the truth - If any Christian can hear me please listen to me - get off your couches and turn off your T.V.'s go tell someone about this place - let them know that only Christ has redeeming power, love and grace!

Are You a Christ Fan or Christian?

Are you a CHRIST FAN or a CHRISTIAN? What motivates you to share....share the good news with those that have never heard the message? That message being that of Christ....the Messiah has come....bled and died for humanity...what motivates you to share the greatest story (TRUE STORY) ever told? Is it "POPULARITY"...is it about making people know who "YOU" are...is that your motivation? What motivates you to share the message that my dear friend John the Baptist shared thousands of years ago...."Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand" Are you trying to get your "SWAGGER BACK" in the name of the gospel? What motivates you to share?... is it "church titles or church cliche's?"...what motivates you to share the message...that Christs' Return is soon? ~ Man looks at the outer apperance...but God looks at the heart ~ What motivated God to send HIS SON? (check out John 3:16) Maybe you don't have a bible...I'll let you know ~ It was LOVE ~ we don't have to scare people into believing (we must tell the truth in love) which means we have to be balanced and tell/teach the whole council of God ~ Hell is a real place ~ but my,my,my God is a forgiving God (God doesn't desire anyone to perish but for all to come to the knowledge of Him) ~ Hell actually was created for this crazy, lunitic desembodied spirit named satan and his angels ~ we are actually in a battle of good vs. evil ~ satan knows his time is short so he is trying to deceive as many as he can to take that trip with him .....

The day is coming when OUR motives will be exaimned...let me ask you a question dear reader.... are you a CHRIST FAN or a CHRISTIAN? .....there are plenty of NBA, NFL and NCAA Fans....



~I said YES to Christ 17 years ago (Yes means: I confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead) ~

Why not fall in love with the man? .....the Man Christ Jesus ~ the mediator between God and man....

Christ Jesus the Son of the Living God!!! ! "Ye must be born again"

Do It Because You Love It!

Often times we fall out of love with that which we do because we have no passion, desire or love for that which we love. How can one love something, but lack the love for the thing that he or she claims to love so much? I believe that we have been conditioned in this generation to be infatuated with persons, places or things apposed to having or possessing true love for them. Infatuation is simply put "instant passion" or in other words, it doesn't last. We understand this from a relational standpoint: for example, guy meets girl, girl is desperate for guy, guy has one track mind, girl is infatuated with guys possessions, they have a rendezvous, several dates and phone conversation for 60 days, then become estranged.

We can go to any bookstore or purchase a DVD with that story line.

Ironically, we have the potential to do that very same thing to God...how so?
God gives you a vision about your future...its so vivid and clear there is absolutely no doubt that it is from Him. You tell no one, but it seems every where you go some one is confirming what you believe was whispered into your spiritual ear about your future. You can't keep from smiling and you love God even more. You are amazed that God would reveal this to you.

So you decide to share with everyone that which you believe is your purpose or destiny for your life. Those individuals you decide to share these things with become more excited than you. Everyone begins celebrating the idea you shared with them and this takes you on another high. Unknowingly to you, you have become infatuated with the idea that God gave you. It is evident by way of the lack of doing anything with that which God imparted into your spirit. That which God imparted in you is in essence the thing He created to propel you to next level.

As long as we are talking about it, we are not being about it.

Love is an action word and if we desire to see longevity in that which God created us to do, we have to work the thing that God gave us. Doing so will cause us to love what we do and do what we love!

Put God First

Recently, I was without my cell phone for almost 60 days. If you had told me that I would be without it prior to me not having it, I would have looked at you as if you had lost your mind. I must say that I did not realize how much having a cell phone (not to mention all that we are able to do with cell phones nowadays) impacted the time I spent in prayer, fasting and meditating on God's Word. This experience has afforded me the opportunity to put things back in prespective. Becoming consumed with temporal things can swiftly take our focus off the most important piece of life's puzzle...Jesus Christ #God1st

Prisoner No More by A.G. Wells

Nervous and waiting for her visitor to arrive, the inmate prepared herself for the questions that her best freind would have for her upon her arrival - the inmate sat anxiously awaiting the visit from this particular friend as she has been the one friend that has stopped by the jail once a week for 10 years....to talk....others have visited but they constantly reminded her of the fact that it was her fault and she was guilty of the crime.....she could still hear the voices of the accusers echoing in her mind: her sibilings reminding her that she should have finished college 10 years ago - Her father's voice saying," I can't belive you got pregnant in high school" - Her mother's voice saying, "I don't know why you didn't turn out like your sister and brother, I am ashamed of you" she can still here and picture in her mind the mutiple times she was molested by folks in her family and friends of the family when she was just a little girl.....she often says to herself, "I hate you" - but she has to snap out of it....because on this day she is anxious and excited, because her friend, her best friend was coming...she couldn't put her finger on it, but something was different about this day.....before she knew it her visitor arrived.... she looked her square in the eye and said - "you have been coming to see me in here for 10 years, and I have once to hear you say one negative thing to me, why is that?" All her life she had become acoustom to everyone telling her what she is not and how many times she has failed; she began to believe what people were telling her, that she would never amount to anything, she would never be married, she would never be a homeowner, she will forever be a borrower and not a lender. The inmate's friend looked at her, smiled and said, "Girl, I love you so much, come with me" "What, the inmate said, I can't go....
I'm in prison and the guards won't allow that!" ~ "That's just it... you put yourself in this prison and you have the keys to get out. For 10 years you have allowed yourself to become the victim of what could have, should have, would have and the negative words that your family and those you thought were your friends spoke into and over your life. This is not a prison, this your bedroom, now get up because it's not to late for you to begin again" ~ We do not have to be incarcerated in a institution to be incarcerated......at times, we become prisoners of our past and because of that, we rehearse the pain points in our life. The pain points of our past cause us to be chained to every person that hurt us, left us and spoke negative to us ~ we have to make a conscious decision to release our past and release ourselves from the prison of pain ~ forgive people, seek God's forgiveness, forgive yourself and move forward ~ "If any man be in Christ he is a new creation, old things are passed away, behold all things are new" II Corithians 5:17

God Shall Supply All of Your Needs

"The gift that God has given me/you/us - which has been placed in our spirit comes to us by way of our thoughts or impression - when the idea comes to existence in the physical realm (by you and I actually doing it), it will demand the need of physical resources - or money. The gift will demand it and ironically the individual that has the gift may not have the resources to support the idea or vision that has been placed in his or her spirit by the Spirit of God. This is a blessed place - because it is then that the individual has to pull from his or her reservoir and speak back to the needs that have arose by way of the vision given by God. God gives the vision and will fund the vision supernaturally. We have to keep in mind that the supernatural is natural to those that walk in the Spirit - therefore we can see the importance of us investing in our spirit man, because there will come a day when we will need to make a withdrawl from God's word that has been engrafted in our hearts. We can be confident in the fact that God will meet our needs because He is the source from which all blessings flow - "and my God shall supply all of my needs accoridning to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus"

Unemployment

You can’t be serious! Is this really it? Can this letter I received from you be legit? I’m at a loss for words, have a bit of an attitude as well, is this a premonition of life in hell? Is the author the person that conducts reviews? Is this the reason why Diana Ross played the role in “Lady Sings the Blues?" The truth of the matter is you haven’t provided any help, the very thought of the check you sent me makes me want to yelp! $575 dollars for a family of 5 – I’m grateful, but really how am I suppose to survive? With chap lips and ashy feet I am filled with doubt – my tongue is even stuck to the roof of my mouth – I am unable to express myself by means of verbal release – Since I’ve lost my job I have been walking the street – looking for work, but to no avail – I dismiss thoughts of crime and burglary cause that would send me to jail - With a bus pass I walk down the street, I even stopped driving my car - gas prices are causing me to utilize my feet – I now consider you my enemy, though you really do not exist – so I look up to the sky and I shake my fist – AT YOU – wherever you are……is now the appropriate time for me to wish upon a star? Answer me why don’t you – stop hiding behind this check – why don’t you just increase – that would allow me to put this all to rest. I thought getting to know you would bring some closure – but ever since I met you I can’t keep my composure – UNEMPLOYMENT, yeah that’s your name – please be gone….you have brought me nothing but shame!

May your difficuly be turned into VICTORY!!
