24/7 why do we feel the need to work such long hours making money? Our well being physically, emotionally and spiritually is worth more than money. The Lord give us the Sabbath for rest, Exodus 20:9-11 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work. God rested on the Sabbath day after creating the heaven and the earth blessed it and made it holy. If God can take rest, who do we think we are?

Resting is to enable us to restore virtue in our spirit, mind and body. Connect to God through prayer, worshop and praise is like the fuel (energy) to get our spirit, mind and body rejuvenated. The devil is a lie when he’ll convince you other wise. Psalm 127:2 In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat, for he grant sleep to those he loves.

In the world we live today everything is moving at such a fast pace, it’s hard to keep up especially technology being the main reason and our drive for wanting to make money 24/7. God is speaking and showing us signs, but we are so distracted. There are things going on all around us in the world and if we don’t be still enough to watch, pray and listen to what the Lord is saying for our own benefit, we are giving into the will of the enemy.

Today one of the main causes of mental issues is the lack of rest. Our bodies need sleep and our mind need to stop processing thoughts constantly. We all need peace to attain good rest. That peace is found in Jesus the Christ.

There’s nothing like being reminded that you’re all alone with no one to call your “Boo” like on Valentine’s day. Emotional distress of loneliness and we’ve all been there one time in our lives. I once wrote a song about it. And no matter how many times you’re told your Mr. or Miss right will come, “pray and the Good Lord who hears and answers prayers will send someone.” It’s been five years and you’re still waiting and seems like God got the memo for everyone except you. All you can do is sit sincerely happy for your friends in a relationship, because it’s the Christian way to be. Listen to them brag about their dates, what they gonna wear and where they’ve been etc. And it hurt inside your souls because you’re praying, “when would it be my turn?”

No one wants to be alone. Companionship is not over rated it makes us live longer, it is what helps to motivate and encourage us. Everyone needs someone, scriptures declares, it is not right to be alone, Genesis 2:18. Even if someone does like human companionship look how happy they can be with animals. From the beginning of time man was never alone we always had God. It’s in our nature to desire companionship.

Don’t allow the devil to make you feel so alone and inadequate because you’re not in a relationship and it’s Valentine’s day. The devil is a liar, because Valentine’s day is for all: family, friends and partners. You’re loved by the seen and most of all the unseen himself, our Lord. You are surrounded by love. Allow love to begin within you, love yourself.

Remember God is a jealous God. Love him more that anything you want so the devil doesn’t tempt you. God will give you what he sees you truly need especially because He’s omniscient. God knows the past and also the future of our life, he knows us more than we know ourself, trust his will. Going to pray for a Companion? Then pray that He sends you a Joseph like Mary. Someone who will aid you to fulfill his purpose and plan for your life. Every woman wants a Boaz, he will provide you with the wealth and notoriety, but a Joseph will provide your every need with the aid and guidance of the Lord himself. He will serve the Lord through serving you. Unlike Adam, Joseph understood the will of God for his help mete and fulfill it. He did everything in obedience to God for Mary and baby Jesus.

Don’t get it twisted companionship doesn’t fall from the sky. It takes time after a long search, so don’t give up. For everybody there’s a somebody and love can find you unexpectedly. Sound like lyrics for a song, lol. The only thing that hold some of us back is our demands and expectations. Let your fantasy of being in love like in the movies go and come into reality.

I realized the important of women in God’s plan for the earth and why the devil had chosen Eve to deceive  and not Adam. I believe Eve was gathering food for them to eat when the devil showed up. He knew Eve was good soil for the seed of man. Destroying the fertile ground by the infestation, contaminate of deceit, prevent its purity to grow good fruit.

The devil was close to God and had all the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of His creations. That’s why he was able to infiltrate the foundation of man’s innocence. But God all the more wiser was able to cut him down in the middle of His schemes and wickedness.

The devil tried to take Eve and cause her to become barren knowing God’s plan. And being barren was to cause her from drawing near to God. In doing so shows God the uselessness of her being. Eve was a gateway to which God was going to create and bring forth more of humanity. And with touching Eve it was also affected Adam, as they were of one flesh. The devil didn’t win, but affected the innocence and purity of the relationship between God and man.

God moved throughout the ages to restore relationship between him and man as the devil kept on luring them away to sin. He snatched us back by once again coming through the gateway of a virgin, manifesting through her body (womb) His divine presence. Conception was not by seed of man, but that of spiritual seed (Holy Ghost).

Keep this in mind, there has been few men in the Bible created by what is considered Divine seed, such as Isaac, John the Baptist, and Samuel. Divine seeds are the pregnancies that accure miraculously. Not every seed even today are the seeds of man, but that which is the miracles for the Lord’s purpose. And in vitro fertilization is not considered the same thing.

When God created woman he no longer made man (people) out of clay (earth), but the womb (the new clay, earth) Mind blowing for us to know and understand the belly is like the heaven and the womb the earth which stretches up into it as the seed grows. The womb and it’s seed can be contaminated through its process of growth. Like what happened to Adam and Eve in the garden.

God who’s omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent knew exactly what was going to happen to humanity and the fallen angel. The devil truly knows God is a forgiving God, the proof that he knows him undoubtedly, is after all he’d done to humanity in the beginning of creation had the audacity to come into the present of God. And God made a wager with him that there’s a man named Job so faithful he would be able to make him sin, Job 1:6-12. I thought, “Why would God allow such a thing, isn’t this the a bad guy? God allow it because he had a plan and a purpose.

You love Jesus? Then feed his sheep, John 21:17 After Christ crucifixion why are we still willing to take people to the cross of our judgements and hatred. Why would truth offend? The truth only offend the enemy. Truth suppose to set us free anything other than the truth is a lie and we all know who the father of lies.

Are we not our brother’s or sister’s keeper? Sometimes I know it can be so easy to hate what someone has done to you. And the key is “what was done” not the person because like Jesus you have to be willing to say  with all heart in it, “forgive them father for they no no what they do.” Any time you find yourself hating humanity, as I was told by a voice in my head, “who’s side are you on?” There was only one from the beginning of time who also hated and was bent on destroying man, Lucifer (the devil).”

Matthew 5:21-22 You have heard that the ancients were told, “You shall not commit murder” and “whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.” But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever shall say to his brother, “Race,” shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever shall say, “You fool,” shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.

The echo of Jesus words still remains unchanged today.  But it’s hard to believe after Jesus being proven innocent and was yet crucified, man kind still have not been able to discern what truly is of God and what is not. Jesus may as well be walking among us today, because eyes we have, but cannot see, ears we have and still we can’t hear. We have the Bible (knowledge and the Holy Spirit) yet for some of us Christians we rely on our own emotions, understanding  and interpretation of the scriptures like the Scribes and Pharisee.

Be angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath, Ephesians 4:26.

Bill Crosby, R. Kelly, Michael Jackson and now they don’t want to allow Kobe Bryant rest in peace without taking another shot at a brother legacy, throwing it down the sewer. I get it, it hurts me too. I love and care for them also and yes, it look and sounds very detrimental for all brothers. Scripture declares we have all sinned and fall short Romans 3:23. He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone, John 8:7. And we are all troubled by the bad publicity of these allegations and the stigma it holds for the future generations.

“Man down, man down!” Aren’t we supposed to be our brothers  keeper? Yes we are! But we have to be very much conscious minded and aware of our conducts and the implications it has as grown-up on the younger generation so they would not be lead on the wrong path in dealing with such a situation as with Gail king being threaten. She shouldn’t have to terrified for her safety, and be driven into mental depression over misunderstanding. The internet should not have been the platform to have aired your disapproval and anger. And now that the truth has been revealed where is the apology or at least a dialogue to rectify all damages?

Forgiveness can be so hard I understand especially when your emotionally depleted over the lost of a love one and being falsely accused or whatever the circumstances. Love is the strongest weapon to overcome unforgiveness. 1Corinthinians 13:4-8 “Love does not dishonor others.” I can see both of you are hurting and it’s all about love. “Love always protects, always trust, always hopes, and always perseveres.”

Forgiveness, everyone loves to say it’s not being about the other person, but you and freeing yourself. But when you feel the other person was wrong for bring certain things up you wish was left in your past and you’ve done everything you can to make up for you youthful indiscretions of life. The devil the wicked adversary who is a liar, is responsible for bring about despair in people’s lives. He’s the reason why in the midst of tragedy bad things just seems to keep happening. When God forgive it is whipped completely away like it never happened and to give us a chance to start anew. Forgiveness should be as the Lord prayer says, “forgive us our trespass as we forgive those who trespass against us.” Forgiveness is to move forward, letting go of what caused pain and not rehashing it. Like being sick and now you’re healed, why would you want to go back to be sick all over again? It’s done, over with, finished!!!

It hurt because when someone is not here to defend themselves no one should speak ill of the deceased. The wages of sin is death, sometimes we forget Jesus payed the price on cross for us all. If he could turn a murderer who persecuted his follower into his servant to work for his cause, and take a thief crucified with him to paradise. Then everyone of us when we die the breath of life goes back to our maker. He searches our hearts and our minds and his way is not like ours. Jeremiah 17:10, Isaiah 55:8-9

We live in a world that should have the understanding to be human is not to be perfect and yet we put this kind of weight upon each other with our judgements.

So Donald Trump didn’t shake Nancy Pelosi hands we all saw it on camera, embracing and hurtful. So she tore up his speech. Who can we as Christians (to be Christ like) justified as being right in their actions? Evidence of hurt people, hurt people. President Trump was hurt at the fact he was being Impeached and Nancy was very much involved. Nancy was doing her job and didn’t hide the fact that the she didn’t approve of the President conducts since he began in office as much as President Trump didn’t like her for not liking him by what she says about him. But why would she want to shake his hand? Was it to let bygones be bygones or show everyone what kind of person the President truly is by his actions of not extending his hand to shake hers. What does the scriptures say about this?

Matthew 5:38-45 Turn the other cheek and love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. Romans 12:17-21 Do not repay evil for evil. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

And neither The President or Nancy Pelosi did according to scriptures. We as the elders have to remember children are looking up to us and our conducts has to set an example for them. We all as humans do wrong and we are incapable of being perfect, so it is important for us to remember, those without sin cast the first stone.

When you’re truly walking with God you possess the ability to do many good things with love, humility, compassion, for the good of all. It not about yourself and the accolades of others, but all for the glory of God, which means to be selfless, with all sincerity.

Remember the devil is manipulative, he will tempt you like a wicked sibling and watch as you get into trouble. Then he will go to the Father to say that you’re doing wrong, like he is innocent, knowing the father is forgiving even to him.

So we must be careful when using the Fathers name for anything. Their is power in the the name of the Father, so don’t set it off unless you’re being truthful. Power is not to be taken for granted.

Rise up early this morning and spoke to God didn’t even make out of bed yet, and said, “Lord I know you’ve been hearing my prayers, but it seems like there’s a glitch in the system. Why am I not feel the way I use to before, the euphoria in your presence anymore?” I heard a voice reply, “because you come into my presence like it’s your chore, and you’re in a hurry to get it over with, to start your day. I know the saying is to begin your day with the me in prayer, but I rather you to be more conscious on meditation and prayer without you being distracted by all you’ve got to accomplish. To meditate is to focus completely and whole heartedly on the joy, peace, and glory of being in my presence communicating wiht each other, closing out the world and it’s distractions. Forgetting your anxieties and fears by knowing once in my presence you are energized to face whatsoever comes your way. Download my essence of glory into your spirit and be awaken from the sleeping of life.” The sleeping of life I thought, what does that mean? And in a second I heard Mark 14:37-38 The he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour? Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is will, but the flesh is weak.

It is now 8:42 in the am, and I am about to go into his presence sincerely in meditation and prayer. “Thank you Lord”, and “Amen”!

You cannot be afraid of bad influences around you, even with some company you keep. The world itself is full of good and bad, but scriptures declares, “be in the world but not of it” Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

All my life I hung out with the good and the bad, beauty and the beast(ugly). I never discriminate against anyone simply because I am not “afraid” of the influences and temptation they could have on my life. I am confident in my Faith and who’s I am. I live by this principle, “greater is he that is in me, than He that is in the world. I trust and have faith in God that He’s my keeper, he will not suffer my foot to be moved. I was once told I could make friends with the devil himself and I said, “as long as he understand I am on the Lord’s side.”

Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven, Matthew 5:16.

Nudity began in the garden of Eden as a shameful thing when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit. Their eyes was open and they knew they were naked and decided to sewed fig leaves together and made themselves clothing. And when they heard the voice of the Lord they were so ashamed they hid, Genesis 3:6-11.

God should of made it clear to Adam and Eve to stay completely away from the forbidden tree and made a fence around it for their protection, not just to inform them not to eat of it. I thought to myself the devil who appeared as a serpent probably was also told not to eat from the tree and did, and for this reason he was stock there all by himself, and desided to deceived Adam and Eve to be his partner in crime against God by being disobedient also. What could had happened to make an angel of God to do such a thing? Maybe he appeared like a serpent because he’d lost his grace with God or was he the tree itself? Poor Adam and Eve I thought, with their innocence, maybe it was the first time they had ever saw a serpent. If Adam and Eve was blessed, to be fruitful, replenished the earth, subdue it and have dominion over every living thing that moved upon the it, every herb, tree, beast, fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, Genesis 1:27-30. They both should of known serpent doesn’t speak.

The Bible says our body is the temple of the Lord, 1Corinthinians 6:19-20. Matthew 5:28 Jesus said, “But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery( sin) with her in his heart.” I think of the birthing of a baby and how we all enter into the world naked, not ashamed and our flesh is clothing for the spirit. Naked means: not covered by clothing, nude. Devoid of of concealment or disguise.

I love nudity, for me it should symbolizes freedom, openness, and to be yourself with sincerity. To others your nudity should convey “I have nothing to hide, I am not afraid, neither ashamed, I have self esteem, I am bold and courageous, not be a temptation for sex or solicitation, sin.” To God nudity could be vulnerability and innocent, not considered sin.

Michelangelo the Italian sculptor, painter, architect and poet of the High Renaissance one of my favorite painters who’s artwork expressed the beauty of the human anatomy by his nude paintings and sculptors. He painted the altar wall of the Sistine chapel, Vatican city. The nudity caused controversy for the religious people and I love fact that the vatican waited after his death at eighty-eighty to then cover the genitals of his nude artwork with fig leaves, lol. He was bold, confident and a radical that they respected his artwork. He’s my favorite artist specific because he brought the nudity in the church not as a sexual, temptation, sinful thing. I believe his art of nudity represented especially in the church sincerity when coming before God.
