An examination sometimes is painful....

But helpful.  2 Corinthians 13:5 says Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves.  Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you--unless, of course, you fail the test?

It's a sad situation to fail an examination right?  If you are taking an examination, it's something that you need to exceed in.  Who wants to take a test and fail?  Who wants to go to the doctor and be examined only to find out bad results, to find out your health is failing.  Why go through the motions of being a Christian and end up in hell because your heart isn't pure.

By examining yourself, you find out what's wrong and if it's an early diagnosis during the examination you can correct some issues before they get out of hand.

By taking a pre-exam you learn that you need to study more before you take the final examination.  By going to the doctor and finding out what's wrong, you get treatment that could prevent any serious condition.  By examining your spiritual self, you learn that you are lukewarm and need to get delivered from some stuff.

So examine yourself to see if you pass the test, of having Jesus in you.

Amen!!!

Let the church say Amen!!!  That is all left for us to say to all of God's promises, Amen.  If we are living Holy according to the Word of God, it's Amen!!!  If we are living unholy according to the Word of God, it's Amen!!! God can not tell a lie and He will not be mocked.  So He will do just what He says He will do and His Word will not be found contrary to it's self.  A lot of times we wonder why we aren't blessed when we are doing all we can to live Holy, not remembering that we have cursed ourselves with our tongue by saying something contrary to the blessing.  Or we've cursed ourselves by not giving our tithes and offering faithfully.  Or we have some forgiveness that we are carrying around that we should have released to someone who wronged us.  Blessings and curses depend on us.  So let the church say Amen!!!  Believe God's Word, obey God's Word, and receive the blessings from God's Word.  No we won't get it right all the time, but His grace is sufficient and He is a forgiving God.  Amen!!!

Now He's a Young Man!!

   This is my Handsome, and at some point in life you have to let those only begotten sons grow.  You teach them what thus says the Lord, and help them for a little while but then the Lord tells you "Now He's a Young Man" that doesn't mean stop praying and believing God for them but it's time that you stop getting uptight because he isn't doing things the way you want him to.  I have to believe that he understands that when he was a child it was okay to talk and think like a child and even understand as a child, but now he's a man he must put away childish ways. (1Cor. 13:11) You have done all that you can do as a single mother to raise him up, and he's going to make mistakes, but love him anyways.  You have trained him up in the way that he should go and it's in him.  So relax, and thank God that "Now He's a Young Man" because some didn't make it as far as he did.  Thank God for the things that he is not doing which makes him blessed, and thank God that you can pray about the things he is doing which brings the curse.  Pray that he remembers what he has been taught concerning all things.  Love you Handsome.

A Docile Spirit....

Can help you in life.  A teachable spirit is a humble spirit. 1 Pet 5:5>Young folks listen to old folks.  Be humble with each other, for God opposes the proud, the ones who won't listen to teaching but gives grace to the humble.  Prov. 12:1 Whoever loves to be taught is smart, he who hates being taught is stupid. This is the BYT version but look it up for yourself.


If you refuse to be taught, you are stupid, that's the Word people.  We often get advice (teaching) from someone who has been through what we are going through or something we may be about to go through.  But we don't listen if we don't have A Docile Spirit.  We think we know everything, can't nobody tell us nothing and then we do what we are advised not to do and look stupid.  Well guess what, because we hated instruction, we are stupid.


Let's listen to Godly instruction and learn from it so that we may be blessed from having a Docile Spirit and not a prideful one.

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.
