Family struggle

Family Struggle

It is difficult to want so much for someone you love.
Seeing them live a life with little to no quality of life.
Anything you say or do can not change them
What makes it worse is when they don't even realize their behavior shows that they could care less. They lost self control a long time ago.
Living a life with pain and sickness was not what God ordained for us.
Yes, life will happen and these things will come but he never wanted it to happen
to us by the work of our own hands.
Unfortunately, the introduction of sin and living outside of God's will brought pain, devastation and eventually death.

Stubborness in our Family members, this is where it stems from, it is a result of sin.
There is nothing we can really do but pray that God's will be done.
With the liberty of their free will, there is nothing we can do.
God gives them a choice to obey and walk in a life of freedom, peace, undo stress, strain and sickness within our bodies or do what you want when you want and face the consequences of those actions. You will reap what you sow.
Think, eat and live clean according to the way he desires us to do and at least you will know that if down the line something happens, you lived the way God desired you to and it wasn't anything you caused upon yourself.
Until your family struggle is no more, just know that it will cause you to grow. To gain a compassion because at the end of the day, it could have been you.

Look a Little Further

Look a Little Further

Sometime you feel as though there is something missing.
Something deep on the inside is pushing you
Look a little further.
What is it that you are missing?
Is it someting to what they say?
That you will seem to wonder through life
searching here and searching there
Until you seek and find what your passion, your purpose, your work is here.
Look a little further.
I promise when you find the truth of what your purpose is, it will change everything.
You be exilirated through and through, no matter how tired you are, once you get a taste of it. Working in the essence of where you are supposed to be.
You won't want to do or pursue anything else.
If you look a little further you will find that which God put in you.

Look a Little Further

I Saw A Man

I Saw A Man

Today I saw a man, a man which no one knows his story.
 A man who has the word try in his eyes.
 A man who's trying to make it and is attempting to do and be the best in his own way, especially in his Families eyes
 A man who says, "I want to be the best dad and best provider for my family."
 A man that will do what most won't do to survive.
His children may see the things that Dads sometimes do, and want to turn their eyes away in shame.
If they only knew, that
Daddy always tries and his heart is true.

God is a God of love
God is a God of correction and chastisment
God is a God of boundaries not just restrictions
God is a God that is not in a box
God is a God that is infinite

I Miss You

I Miss You

You've gotten so busy, where have you been? I barely hear from you since you've started that job, your new business, kids sport practice, School, and that Ministry.
Can I ask, where do you have time to fit me in? Will you make the time?  Can you at least pencil me in?
I know you like your spare time, your weekends or your nights ALL to yourself. I've heard you say it all the time, "I've worked hard all week I've got to get my me time."
 Than when you have the time, you say you are lonely, bored, and nothing to do. Or you are still empty, when you are through doing you.
 I thought you said you were a part of me and I am a part of you.
 I guess I am the neglected part. So when you have those feelings, yes, THOSE feelings. Sadness, loneliness, boredom, no passion or purpose etc. You have separated yourself from me, maybe not intentionally, but you have left me.
I know when you give me a lot of quick chats and read my word for a quick moment, you thought that was enough to get us by. Or when you are in trouble and you marathon pray for a day would make up for lost time.
It doesn't. Imagine if you are in a relationship and someone says they love you but they barely ever talked to you. Or they only show interest when they felt like it, which isn't often or ONLY when they needed something. How would YOU feel? Doesn't feel good, right? Feel neglected? Yea, me too.
When you search and find the end of you, you'll find me.

 I miss you.

Grace Awakening

Grace Awakening

Oh Men and Women of Zion, oh Men and Women of Jerusalem

Awake out of your sleep
The hour of bewitching is here
Whilst you sleep all hours through the night
The adversary, your accuser which is the devil, he is here
He has sent His forces to visit you in the middle of the night, when we were called to be watchmen

God has commanded you to
Awake and Rise up and sanctify your dwelling place & pray
Command every appetite that has control of you, to now loose you in Jesus name
Command every thought and idea to line up with the Spirit of the living God
Command every word that shall part from your lips to be sweet and righteous
Command every habit and DISCIPLine to submit to and for the Kingdom of God, the betterment of you and your family in Jesus name

Every action, reaction and response to be in line with the Spirit of the Living God
Every household and member in it shall recognize, acknowledge and obey the Spirit of the Living God.
Every mind be set free according to the resurrection power of Christ Jesus.
Our Spirit man is strengthened by Christ power and might.
We have power of a bold and sound mind in the love of Jesus Christ.
Wisdom and obedience is our weapon, prayer is the key to unlocking the mysteries of God.
Tradition keeps order and remembrance of where we come from, yet the grace of God allows the movement in freedom

Step out of the box
Grace Awakening  becomes the norm and you shall know the Spirit of the Lord when you hear and see him.

Obey him in the Grace Awakening

Hidden

Today I found something I had written a year ago and since I am stepping out of my comfort zone I figured I'd share some past, along with current writings.

Hidden

Sometimes you are not being ignored or left alone, you are not being forgotten or people not helping you.

You are being hidden by God. 

When a butterfly is forming, it's hidden in a cocoon.

When life is forming it's hidden in a womb.

When God is taking you from the old man to a new creature/wo/man in Christ. 

You are being hidden.

Hidden for the great reveal 

No Condemnation

No Condemnation

Until today I thought I knew what that actually meant.
Meaning, yes we have been told that negative things the enemy, Satan, will try to bring up in our face, things like guilt, shame, hurt and defeat. Feelings that will make our journey in Christ extremely difficult and can actually cause you to go into a deep depression. Some go as far as being overwhelmed by those feelings so much so, that they will take their own life. As a sidenote, suicide is a subject not discussed enough within the body of Christ along with several other things but that is not what we are talking about today.
Romans 8:1 says There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
So when those "feelings and thoughts" come, we have to speak out the truth of Christ and remind ourselves that those words DO NOT describe us any longer.

Now I was thinking, what if we choose not to do the right thing, regarding a situation or towards a person? What we should feel as believers is not condemnation what we should feel is conviction.
Our conviction comes from the Holy Spirit's presence in us, guiding us and telling us, "Now you know you should have done the right thing, you should be treating them better or you should know that is your responsibility." Because it is from God's spirit, when we acknowledge it, it will not have a damaging affect on us. Unlike feeling condemned, feeling condemned will wear us down and wear us out to the point of death.
When the Lord convicts us, it is a way he let us know 1. That he wants to help us live right, so we can reap the full benefits of being a joint-heir to the Kingdom of God  2. He is not to far away that we can't get in a place to hear him or feel his unction 3. It reminds us that he loves us (he chastens those he loves) actually, this should be number 1 but I just put it down the way it came to me.
How did I get on this subject today anyway?

I was thinking, what if someone is not in the Lord, they didn't say yes to him and do not have a heart to serve him. I thought, why would someone pick and choose to do the "right thing" towards some people and not others? Why would they spend money all over the place and not even feel bothered by the fact that they were shirking off their responsibilities, ON PURPOSE? Case point, the issues with absent Fathers and Mothers which abandon their kids. I just couldn't understand it. Was it just a character issue, a choice, do they ever even think about it? All of a sudden it hit me, they don't have that moral guide, they are just floating along picking and choosing whatever and whenever. Yet, because they are created in his image, he will lead them but the ignoring part may come easier to some than to others, depending on the dynamics of their upbringing and their manner of thinking.
They may feel guilty at times but what does that matter if they can just brush it off and never feel as though they should make right. Than again, Titus chapter 3:3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

This reminds me that we have all been there before, that is until, Titus chapter 3:4-7 (take time to read it) stepped in, when we said YES to the Lord being Lord over our lives.
Does it allow for excuse from these behaviors? No, but it gives some clarity, at least for me and doesn't leave room in my heart to hold people to their behavior/acts or the lack thereof and causing me to be weighed down negatively. The more I write the more I think, sooo this leads to the question of, what about those that DID say yes to him and behave the same way, like they have no conviction? We will visit that another day, otherwise this will end up being the longest blog in history. Or will it? I wouldn't know because I am just getting started. Lol

Remember: He is not to far away that we can't get to a place to feel him or feel his unction. A good place to be by the way.
No Condemnation

In Pursuit

In Pursuit

In pursuit of a deeper place in God
I began to speak and ask the Lord to empty me again. Let me not be seen.
Trying to hear clear again.
It is not like he wasn't speaking to me but there was a distance, a lack of clearness.
Why? Less praying, less studying, less seeking?
I could see it even in my living space. A jumbled mess it was becoming.
Busyness is not the culprit, lack of managing time spent with him I would attribute.

In pursuit

Whenever God is leading me into a place, he ALWAYS leave clues, subtle hints if you will.
Well, this particular time he lead me to a book called, "Invisible Worshipper" by David Bunion.
I have never wept the way I had, after reading a book, besides God's holy word.
Things that have been plaguing my heart for some time, about the routines of usas believers within the body of Christ.
This book touched on what we have been missing and why the Families are torn into pieces and leaking over into the Churches.
Worship, the real pursuit of God and his presence.
When we lessen, he increases and the supernatural move of God can come into our temple, homes, and our Congregations.
Just for one of his children, will God bend his ear but what about all of his children.
Mountains will surely move, minds and bodies will surely be healed and doors to demonic influence/holds will be shut.
Why? Because in pursuit of his presence, we will no longer want to stay the same and when we repent, it will truly be a real turn away from sin.

To think this all started from a question.
Why don't we see as many of God's supernatural healings/miracles any more?

In pursuit of him

How Dare You

How Dare You

When you are blessed to know and be associated with fighters.

When you are a witness to persistent, motivated drivers.

Be any less than, be a lazy man/woman.

Be a drifter in life because of bad habits.

How dare you, be a dreamer and a talker.

How dare you know what you need to do, but choose not to do, like it affects just you.

Yet and still, stay as a lazy and selfish fool.

How dare you, not set a goal and write out a plan, or worse yet, set a goal and write out a plan.

How dare you not even attempt to execute that plan and sacrifice a peice of your inward wo/man to the destined purpose of that plan.

How dare you, not dare you to be a more disciplined you, a more consistent you, a goal getter you.
