More on Faith

At the moment your realize you need God, you need to admit it immediately. The reality of the matter is that often we have been callous to the tender work of the Holy Spirit. We move almost effortlessly form spiritual to carnal from day to day. Our sex is spiritual and deep and 35 mins later you are staring at the wall wondering what you want to eat.

How does this relate to God and our need for him? It is well documented that we as being are creatures of habit. We - have the option of feeding the side that we - fancy at the time. Paul is very clear that there is a living dichotomy within us. There is an old and new man. Paul continually encourages us to put off the old man, crucify the flesh, mortify the deeds of the flesh, put to death.

Its not a skitso situation, its an awareness of a change happening within you. Paul is giving us by the Holy Spirit ways to sensitize us to the  "old things having been passed away and all things become new". There is frailty to the work of God in our lives because it is will sensitive. He wont operate where he is not wanted. However he will work to make you want. Other words he will woo you to allow him to do what he is trying to do. This is why surrender is so key.

Again how does this relate? Our construct does not provide us with the tools to uncallous or unharden. That why the scripture says " Harden not!" this the only time when the word gives us positive directive around negative action. We have a capacity to turn against God and stay that way. So its imperative that when he calls you answer.

Prayer:

Lord, I am aware of the sinful nature that I was born in. I am aware that I have this undesirable tendency to run from you when I should be running to you. Lord, sensitize my heart to your spirit. I surrender my all to you now. I surrender my heart and my mind to your will. If there is any place in my life that is unyielded to you, lead me to it that I might yield it to your glorious will. My heart is yours and I long to know you more, deeper and more rich in my everyday life. By your spirit I put to death the deeds of the flesh and I count myself as alive to you as a willing servant you. Cleanse my heart, cleanse my motives, cleanse me, wash me and i shall be whiter than so. Make us like you. Put us in touch with your love again. Fill us up so that all we see is you.

Lord I pray this in Jesus name.

" The only prayer that does not work is the one you don't pray."

Even Minded

Random Thought: Black people can't keep playing the race card to cover up for the lack of success they are having in there lives. They need to pull themselves up by their boot straps.

The funny thing about this is that I actually agree. It primarily the responsibility of ANY individual to make sure that they are progressing in the right direction with there life. The ought to arm themselves with the knowledge necessary to be competent in the personal and professional endeavors.

However, to say that it will speak for itself is to walk in willful ignorance of history. The challenge that I have with person saying that is, " Are willing to admit that at one point in time there was an OVERT effort to stifle the economic growth of the African-american? As well is there still an unconscious discrimination that takes place when you see the brown colored counterpart?"

The end of my thought is simply this. In the light of BlackLivesMatter movement, we need not become overly defensive when people begin to champion their experiences. Rather we should walk in civility and confirm the experience. The fact is there has been a significant difference between whites and black and gap continues to grow in many ways and in many different directions.

Maybe we shouldn't focus on if the person telling us the problem is telling the truth but rather turn our attention in making our world better for each other.

Faith and Family First. 

On my little trap daddy of a phone I have written "Raven and Robyn". I have to admit that up until this point I have been living a selfish life. I have only been looking out for my own interest and not putting needs of my wife and my child before mine. I regret because has put a huge hamper on my love life and even the peace I have in my home. 

I love my wife and I want nothing but the best for her. Yesterday while I was sitting in service my pastor gave me an insight about the nature of marriage. He pointed out Eph 5 and explained that I as the husband am the savior of the wife's body. I am called to stand in the earth a defend. Not just against physical threats but spiritual ones. I am guilty of being angry but am also guilty of pressing to that reality without being bold enough to pray for her, rather than pray about her. I am on a different path and this path means that this is mine to do. So I am changing my mindset when it comes to my Raven, my Robyn and my family. 

The Lord has made it very clear to me 1/18/2015. " I have put you in a dreamless situation, so you can dream again. Working in someone else dream and trying dream yourself doesn't work. That kind of logic is human of you. I told you last year that you have five year of preparation before I move you to where I want you to be. Your year began in January. Your preparation is heeding to the voice of the wise. Just as you saw your former CEO unyielding to the divine resources I sent. Hear me. I will send people aid and assist to your preparation. Get ready, your time is coming! "
