So You Think Your All That?

Every day I am learning that I am not my own. In spiritual warfare you cannot do the things that you used to do, say the things that you used to say, watch the things that you used to watch, or even hang around the people that you used to hang around. In many ways I am stubborn in all theses things and I have to be honest and say that I pay the price mentally for it. As a person who was a day dreamer and fantasizer before I gave my life to Christ, this has been a true battle area for me. I am a thinker, I have always been a thinker, but now God is using my mind for his purposes. He inspires me and gives me things to write down. Lately I have been a very negative thinker. I have been depressed, resenting my place in my life, and finding every horrible fault in the way that I feel I am being treated. In the words of Joyce Myer, I have to think about what I am thinking about. Ya’ll, pride can be a hard demon to slay. Many times we feel entitled and God wants us to drop the attitude an...

My personal truth pt. 2/ His will not mine

Life is so crazy. I never saw myself where I am now. I never imagined that I would work at a children’s store or be a care giver. My one dream was to be a doctor. As a small child that’s all I ever told people I wanted to be. I even started my college career off in pre-med, but pretty soon, after many failing grades, that dream faded. God had different plans for my life. Plans I can’t say I 100% agreed with. I didn’t see myself getting saved at the time that I did. I didn’t see myself without a few ex-boyfriends that I had, but God had a different plan. I now understand that everything happens for a reason and that where I am in my life is not a mistake. God is growing me up and teaching me how to treat people. My desire is to hear with God’s ears, speak with God’s words and have God’s heart. I thank God for every failure. Every failed class, every failed friendship, and every failed relationship. The best place to be is in his will. God desires to move people out of your life...

Be as Children

As adults we often forget how to be children. We do what we want to do and forget how to listen. What does it mean to you when God says to come to him as a little child? Does that mean just listening or just being obedient?   NEWS FLASH! You cannot do one without the other. You have to listen so that you can receive the instructions you need to be obedient.   How can you really know that you’re being obedient if you don’t listen? Like children we get distracted. We stop to look at all the pretty flowers and trees when God is telling us to not touch anything and to focus.   Why do you despise correction? God only wants to see you prosper and succeed.   God is merely trying to instill the same values in you that you attempt to instill in your children. Your children get upset with you when you punish them, but they forgive you. Why do you continue to stay upset with God when something does not go your way?   Verses to think about: "B...

Remove the Hindrances

    What is hindering your progress in the Lord? Is it your dreams, your relationships, your job or your bad attitude? NEWSFALSH: YOU HAVE TO START LETTING SOMETHINGS GO! Yes, it can be hard. Yes, it can hurt, but God is trying to move you out of the circles that you’re used to and place God minded people around you. Heed the voice of God people! You say that God does not care and you say that he doesn’t talk to you, but are you even trying to hear him? Turn your world down and listen to the voice of the Lord. He is always speaking, but you are not allows listening. God does not come second place to the idols that you have set up in your life. You will rearrange your schedule to go to the club or out on a date, but you will not do the same to go to HIS house and worship HIM. That is backwards and God is not pleased. You have all kinds of pictures in your our house of Jesus but you have premarital sex right in front of it. REMOVE THE IDOLES SO THAT GOD ...

Attachment theory/Time for a spiritual checkup!

Today as I was doing my hair I started to talk to God. Many times I feel lonely and confused which always leads me to the front of the prayer line at church. In a way this is a crutch for me and I am tired of it. There is nothing wrong with having other people pray for you, but it’s time that I start praying for myself. I want my own relationship with God. I do not want to kick myself on judgment day when God shows me everything that he desired for me to do in this world, but I didn’t because of ungodly attachments. We were created by and in the image of God so why is it so hard to let Tyron and them go? God is our ultimate attachment. We were created to be attached to him, he is our first love. When God created Adam, God was the first person he saw and spoke to. There was no Eve, no mamma, daddy or worldly pleasure. Why is it so easy to leave God, but we have a mental break down when it is time to release the people from our past (or present)? The attachment theory is based in...

Season of Silence/Cut off time

If God were to tell you to cut off all of your friends, church family and people you love would you be able to do it? The time of silencing is a very important one as a Christian. It is a time of getting out of yourself and being able to hear the voice of God. As a Christian living in this world, you have to know who you are and you have to know whose you are. In order to find that out you have to tell the world around you to shut up. When you cut people off, it does not mean that you don’t love or care for them. It could mean that it is time for you to move on with your life, it could also mean that that person is a hindrance to your relationship with God. We have to learn how to listen to the voice of God even when it hurts. It hurts us to let people that we love or have known for a long time go, but what is more important to you, your relationship with them or your relationship with God? You say you love God, so what are you willing to release in your life so that you can have/s...

Answer the Call

Do not allow another hour, minute or second go by that you have not allowed God to come into your heart and change your life. It is time out for the fake stuff yall! Ya, you go to church, but you also know that your heart isn’t right. A right heart yields to God and abhors evil. A right heart says Lord have your way with me. A right heart knows that having a church home, merly going to church, and paying tithes is not enough to get you into heaven. Everybody wants the real, I’m gone give it to. If you died today and have not accepted Jesus as your lord and savior, you are not going to heaven. Do not fool your selves by believing that everybody that you know that has died went to heaven. you know what it means to live right. Kick that negro out, put the weed down, no more pre-marital sex, stop cursing and getting drunk! God loves you so much that he gave his only begotten son for you! Why don’t you give your life to him? Grandmamma and momma can pray for you, but you are the one tha...

A message to you

Young Woman. Young Man. This is not your lot in life. Don’t you understand how much God loves you? It does not please God to see you suffer. In fact it hurts him. God hates to see you merely “survive”. Young lady, God did not call you to see your body or be addicted to drugs. God does not want you to live in poverty. You are call to prophesy. God is saying Release everything to me today. Young man selling drugs is not your calling. You are called to greatness. I pray protection over your life in Jesus name. Whoever you are please go to church tomorrow. God is calling you and he is waiting.  

Becoming Purified

Diamonds are treasured around the world, so treasured that people produce fakes just to meet the demand of the masses that desire them. You are just as treasured. Don’t allow the world around you to make you into a fake. Becoming purified comes along with tests and trails. Purified water is filtered to get all of the contaminates out. I mean really, who wants dirty water? Child of God you are a light that God has sent to shine in dim places. You are a well holding his life changing, life giving water and you are as valuable to him as a diamond that has been created under pressure. Don’t you see that God is filtering you? There are no lies in God so he has to remove all the fakeness, the phoniness and the containments out of you. The testing of your faith produces patience. You may not be where you want to be but God is using you where you are. He is growing you up to be who he has called you to be. Desire to be a life producing tree instead of a dead stump. Pray for divine gu...

Ground Zero pt 2

      God has to tear down who you think you are in order to build up who you are in him. The twin towers were beautiful. They were tall and something to be admired around the world.   You are like the twin towers and you have to be destroyed. Self-perceptions can be so large. We can either be arrogant and haughty or we can be lowly and depressed. God does not desire for you to be insecure but he also does not desire for you to think that you can do anything without him. Ground zero is a point of destruction. There is a lot of sadness associated with destruction; there is also a lot of smoke, damage and death. Do not desire to be restored to your former glory Child of God. God is doing a new thing. You are under construction. A lot of plans are taking place in your life and there is a lot going on that you are not aware of. Submit to the process. Submit to God as your true resting place and not just a pet stop for when you get tired of trying to handle lif...
