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!!

Does your faith have an object?

What do you do when life happens? I have discovered that many of us that profess that we have faith in God, never had that  faith we profess religously tested. Eventually, as we walk the road of faith, the very thing that we bodly confess during high emotionally charged chruch services, church confereces and moments after payday, will soon be challenged. The unexpected death of a love one, the job that we are so committed to releases us unexpectedly, your child becomes ill, your car gets stolen, your son or daughter has behavioral problems at school, marital problems. We really don't know what we have until the time comes for us to make a withdrwal from that which we have stored up. So is there hope? Yes there is - Jesus said, "In this life you will have trouble, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world" We have to remember that our faith needs an object - we just can't have faith in faith - Our faith needs an object and that obejct is Christ the solid rock!

You Can Do This!

Have you ever been under pressure? Picture this: you are the star player of the basketball team and you are playing the championship game against "life" there is 1 second on the clock and the coach draws up a play that will place the ball in your hands for the final shot - What feelings are going through your mind? The truth of the matter is - you practiced for this moment - when no one was looking, when no one knew your name...the moments of obscurity prepared you for notoriety....trust God and leave the details to Him #You Can Do This
