Meek Not Weak, Don't get it twisted...

To be meek is to be humble, and sometimes people take your meekness for a weakness.  What happens when that happens?  Either we are mature enough to know that we must just pray for them and remain gentle, or we aren't mature enough and go off the deep end.  If we snap, crackle, and pop we probably aren't meek just yet so repent and keep trying.  It seems like the harder you try to be meek, the more buttons people push, and you try to walk in love, and let your light so shine and they just keep on until you say look I'm Meek Not Weak, Don't get it twisted and just as you begin to go off the spirit of meekness overwhelms you and the Holy Spirit says don't forget that Romans 12:19 says >Don't take revenge, my dear friends, but  leave room for God's wrath for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.  No matter what we must continue in meekness.  The bible says that the meek inherit the earth...they shall have a state of mind here on earth and have peace and happiness and not be overtaken by the worries here on earth.  So since God has got our back, it's okay for people to get it twisted, just humbly pray for them because they must not know that you are God's anointed.  Be blessed my friend.

Don't Give Up on Your Dreams, Patiently Wait....

For God.  Sometimes it seems like everybody is being blessed but me.  I try to make sure I stay humble and not begin to act like Job and start accusing God of forsaking me.  I try to make sure I don't get jealous that someone that could care less about God seems to be blessed beyond measure.  I do make sure I repent for both those things when I find myself even thinking wrong, and I do hurry up and pull out my Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth to help me get through it and it never let's me down.  Psalm 37: 1-7 is a good passage of scripture to read if you fall short in this area.  Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.  For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.  Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.  Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.  And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.  Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.  God wants us to know that we shouldn't get upset because wicked people seem blessed, it's not from God so it will be cut short.  God's blessings are forever.  We should trust in Him alone, walk in His ways, and wait patiently for Him and He will give us our desires, because our desire will be His.  He's going to make it happen.  So Don't Give Up on Your Dreams, Patiently Wait on God.

Can You Handle a Purging?

Do we really want to be purged by God?  I have heard people of God say that and even try to encourage new born again believers to ask God to purge them, without explaining what it means.  Sounds painful, it is painful.  If you don't mean it, I advise you not to ask for it.  Oh yeah it's a good thing and God's word says He will not withhold any good thing from us (Prov 3:27).  The definition of purge is to rid of whatever is impure or undesirable; to cleanse; to purify.  From a disgusting point of view; when we go to the restroom to release waste, it's kind of painful. But once it's all over, we feel so much better.  God will allow you to see what's really going on inside of you, and allow ways for you to get free from the mess.  It really takes a person that can handle getting their toes stepped on by the Word of God and not getting an attitude.  If you still get mad at your Pastor when he/she is only preaching Truth, you ain't ready.  If every time you turn around you're in some mess, and ALWAYS think you are RIGHT, you ain't ready.  Don't get me wrong now, you need a purging, but Can You Handle a Purging?  When you get sick and tired of running this race and not going anywhere, and want to be 100% sold out for God and about His business, then you Can Handle a Purging.  I'm ready.

My Ups Outweigh My Downs

As I think back over my life, and what I am going through right now I must say "My Ups Outweigh My Downs".  I could complain all day everyday, but all I would be doing then is speaking contrary to God's word.  No matter what I have been through or am going through God's Word says I win.  Jesus won the fight, He has the keys of hell and death (Rev. 1:18).  Matt 28:18 says that all power belongs to Jesus, Romans 8:17 says I am a joint heir with Christ, so through Him I have power.  That power reminds me that "My Ups Outweigh My Downs".
Yes I became pregnant as a teen, and that was wrong but praise God for Andrea, I don'te believe that I could have asked for a more precious gift.
Yes my marriage ended after 14 years, but I've learned how to be a better wife and praise God for Devonte'. Jurnee, and Iyana.
Yes I am working two jobs trying to make ends meet, but praise God I have a job and I am learning more and more each day to obey His Word and depend on Him.
Yes my liver had 2 mass on it and I had to undergo a major 7 hour surgery and now I have this big ugly scar on my stomach, but praise God I am alive.  My scar is my reminder that Jesus was there with me, it actually is a big J.
Yes I've been dreaming my dream for a long time, but praise God I'm learning to be patient and wait on the Lord.

That Name.....

Jesus...When you have a relationship with Jesus, His name is sufficient for all your needs.  You know that His name is powerful in any situation.  2 Corinthians 12:9 (KJV)>And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness.  Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Philippians 2: 9-11 (NKJV)>Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.


When you are in a relationship with Jesus, you know His name is the most powerful name to call.  I use to get upset when I saw someones name that is "Jesus", and although it's spelled the same, it most defiantly doesn't mean the same.  


Psalm 34:17 (AMP) When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their distress and troubles.

John 9:31 (AMP)³¹We know that God does not listen to sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and a worshiper of Him and does His will, He listens to him.

That Name is totally different depending on who is calling on His name.


Wonderful, Sweet, Saving Jesus, Oh I love the Name of Jesus...I get results when I call that Name of Jesus.

Babies Daddy's....

Why am I going here?  I have to, I spoke with a young lady last night and she has some serious hate in her heart toward her children's dad.  It's hard to not have hate when someone is treating your child wrong.  But 1st I want to say to young ladies, examine who you get involved with; is his daddy good to him?  We cause so much of our own mess by not loving ourselves enough to take the time to get to really know someone before jumping into bed/a relationship with them.  That's what we as baby mama's need to learn to do before we get babies, check him out before we get all caught up.  Eph. 6:4 (MSG)> Fathers, don't exasperate your children by coming down hard on them.  Take them by the hand and lead them in the way of the Master.  Father's should be leading in a Godly direction.  Girl we knew them jokers didn't have no God when we met them, so it kinda falls back on us Baby Mama's too.  Prov.20:7 (NKJV)> The righteous man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him.  This is for mama and daddy, our children are blessed when we walk upright.  At this point if you have discovered he is not the baby daddy you would want him to be, I'm sure you are considering him your enemy.  So I urge you to read Matthew 5:44 Which tells you to love your enemies, and bless those who curse you do good to your haters, and pray for those who spitefully use you.  And Luke 6:27-28 echos, the entire scripture.  Must be important!!!  Don't allow this to be a stronghold over you which stops you from getting your blessings because you hate him.  Let God be your Babies Daddy, I promise He will bring you restoration as you seek Him first and teach your children to do the same.  I'm praying for you and you pray for me, because I know just where you are right now.

Happy Valentine's Day!!! True Love

John 3:16>For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have ever lasting life.

So I know there isn't a gift that can be given that can compare to the gift that God gave.  Thank You for Your love God.  God wants us to be with Him, that's why He gave Jesus because He wants a relationship with us. His love for us is genuine.  He knew that the only way we would be able to spend time with Him was to give Jesus.

Are you in a relationship?  Are you giving?  God gave us His very best.  Are you giving your very best?  Jesus laid down His life, He gave His very best, His all because His love is pure and true.

If you are in a relationship and not giving, check yourself.  Give from the heart, and give your very best.  Give without expecting anything in return.  That's what God did, that's what Jesus did.  That's the only way to truly love.

Not One Perfect....

Nor Good. Luke 18:19 (NIV) “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.


My friends please don't let the enemy make you feel guilty when you mess up.  Jesus died on the cross so that when we mess up, we can clean it up.  How?  By asking forgiveness and turning from it.


There is Not a Perfect Nor Good person.  We should strive for perfection. (Philippians 3:12)  


So don't wait until you're perfect to come to Jesus it will never happen, and if you meet someone that says they are perfect (RUN THE OTHER WAY).  Please don't turn from Jesus if you mess up, just turn from what caused you to mess up.


God loves you, and He is available for you NOW!!!

Idols, Are You Serving One?

I'm sure your answer is no.  I mean who would admit to serving and Idol?  An idol is anything that is more important to you than God, anything that you spend more time with than God, anything that you think about more than God, anything you replace as the source for your needs instead of God. 
So that means an idol can be your job, your car, your home, your money, your spouse, your children, your carpet, your clothes, your shoes, and this list can go on and on. 
Some have made work more important by over working, too busy to spend anytime with God.  Some have made their car and idol, wash it every other day but your Bible has a layer of dust on it.  What about those beautiful homes that you boast about forgetting to give God the glory for getting you in it.  Need I say anything about money?  Won't give God His 10% for nothing-- you don't believe that part of the Bible.  Spouse and children that you think are better than anybody elses, can't see their fault.  They will find a way to burst your heart open.  I say carpet because I use to flip out because I didn't want people wearing shoes on mine, why it's on the floor.  I still want the kids to take off theirs, but I don't flip out about it anymore.
Listen anything can be made into an idol, so it's important that we're not being ignorant and praising STUFF.


Isaiah 42:8 God says "I am the Lord, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to graven images."(NASB) That means God ain't sharing His throne with nobody or nothing else.  He's worthy that ALL the praise goes to Him.  He let's us know in Philippians 4:19 (NASB) that He will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.  He's got our back and we ain't got to be playing with no idols.  To have an idol causes corruption on yourself, God will destroy you and your idol.  Read Exodus 32 in your spare time, you might need to read it now and repent.  Read Deuteronomy 32, God is serious about not having idol gods, having vanities.  You see it's okay to have everything mentioned above but once  there is an excessive pride in that stuff, that's when the trouble comes.  Be proud of your children, but don't think they're perfect, sho' nuff your spouse got it going on, but they don't need to be put up on a pedestal.  Don't allow anything to put conceit in your heart, because then there's no room for God.
