Show appreciation!!!

There are certain people who are overlooked; who are they? Often the people within our immediate circle, acquaintance or stranger. They are always in the background of things being humble, pushing everyone forward to their destiny. Never complaining always happy to help others in need and to see them succeed. Many times not even recognized for their services in which a lot of people is need of. So many of these kind hearted people are taken for granted and we must give them the accolades they are deserving of. Don’t wait till they are gone to sing their praises of how wonderful they were.

I do believe that many people are very entitled especially in our world today. Some are aware of it and some completely oblivious. Entitlement is always about self, so therefore we overlook the kindness of others as though they are obligated, which is ever so wrong. Luke 6:31 “Do to others as you would have them to do to you.” We should all put this into practice totally in our relations with others. We ourselves have to be accountable for being completely aware of how we treat others in our actions and what we say. Be courteous!

Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning!

Psalm 30:5 by King David who killed Goliath the Philistine by a sing shot, 1Samuel 17. I often define the night as life because as we know it to be is consistent with trials and tribulations we go through. The morning I define as our Heaven, going to our eternal home with God where there’s no more pain or suffering.

Weeping, our sorrows and woes over sickness, lost of a love one, finances, relationships, our jobs, family issues, whatever may disrupt our peace, which is inevitable in this life as we all know it, with our highs and lows of emotions. Always fighting to gain balance and take control, not allowing it to get away on us. Weeping can also be define as the bad in life, our hell

Joy, our joy that seems to last like a flicker of a light. Why does everything good seems to not last long in our lives. The balance is not needed here, it’s the climax that needs to be maintained. Joy can last just as long as weeping or even longer in the world, but we can’t grasp it simply because anything that makes us uncomfortable in life we want it to immediately stop and anything that makes us feel good we want it to last forever, but seems short lived. Joy can be defined as good, our Heaven.

Weeping may endure for a night and the night sometimes can be long. Joy comes in the morning no bad things last forever. But let’s be realistic the night will always come and so will the morning. Through the hard times which is the weeping, look forward for a time of rest and renewal.

The kingdom access

Did Jesus birth, death and resurrection changed anything when there is still sin in the world? “Yes it did” is the answer to that question. Romans 6:23 The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Jesus presence to humanity was not just the manifestation of the word of God, but also the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of his will.

Mankind had fallen to sin, but Jesus came, caught us, and pulled us out. John 16:33 In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. If we truly understand the word of God, for sure we would stand firmly in the authority of it and no devil in hell could deceive and move us.

The enemy is the continually trying to convince a lot of people that the Messiah is still yet to come and in his coming only then the world and it’s systems will change. The change has already been taken place. For those who are spiritually inclined you’d understand and know this. Christianity has exploded to the four corners of the world as was said in the gospel, “go and make disciples of all nations” Matthew 28:16-20. Everyone in the world today knows who’s Jesus. Philippians 2:10-11 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.

For three days Jesus wrestle with death, the flesh and the devil, and the third day he resurrected. Unlike Jonah Jesus didn’t have to wait for God to let him out. Jesus had to unlock creation to get himself out. Why unlock creation? Unlock creation because God didn’t decide to change it. After all when it was completed God said, “it was good” and in saying so it was sealed and locked, Genesis 1:31. Death wasn’t part of God’s plan in creation, it came after the fall of man; Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit. As for the devil, he had to remind him who’s the boss.

An amazing Cruise!

Best experience ever for a first time cruiser, lol. So it’s was our 25th Anniversary and what a way for myself and husband to have celebrated, other than with our spiritual family, and what a blessing with lots of fun, lessons learnt and much spiritual insight for those who had eyes to see. I saw the Lord move in a mysterious way and his wonders, he did perform.

I behold a faithful family allowing by Faith, to let strangers from all over the world to vacation with them in such an intimate way, a cruise out in the ocean with a limited amount of people, made me feel like my husband and I was important that God made it possible for us to be in such a place, at such a time like that, wow! We walked passed each other like old friends, danced, laughed and ate, “pinch me I thought, is this all a dream.” This family to me is as important as royalty, but yet humble themselves to be with us all. And to think the matriarch of the family was very ill, but made sure she showed up as to not disappoint and it was plain to see that she was truly not well. Being someone who suffers from a chronic disease I can only give her props and lots of prayers for her and her family for showing such great, love, respect and morals to all that loves them for her showing up regardless.

I love this family very much because the Lord has revealed to me that everything they do, they do it with love to go to the extreme to make the world a better place for everyone, literally everybody, in all that they do. And I love and appreciate and thank God for allowing me in to see for myself the kind of people they truly are. There are some real ungrateful, complaining, haters out in the world that just don’t get it and like the Pharisees and Sadducees try to persecute and hurt them like they did Christ. What they have to put up with and still smile and love people I commend them for it, for I know God has to have covered them with an extrodinary anointing to stand; stand unified, and strong in Jesus name. “I pray all blessings of the Lord to continue to cover them for all eternity, Amen!”

You are a Queen!

So many of us woman are spiritual Queens and have no idea. When we think of wanting to being a queen as identified with it’s earthly meaning like the queen of England, Elizabeth, with fame, fortune and servants, every little girl wish they could be like that, but it’s difficult. Being a queen is not like what we read about or see in the movies. The Merriam-webster dictionary meaning of a queen is: the wife or widow of a king, a female monarch, a woman eminent in rank, power, or attractions, a goddess or a thing personified as female and having supremacy in a specified realm. I believe God’s meaning of a queen, his queen, is according to the character of Blessed virgin Mary: she’s God loving, fearing, faithful, compassionate, kind, helpful and caring to others, woman of sacrifice, authority and power, but yet humble and walk with grace, a grace is infused with morals. This grace in which is spoken is not favor, but a way of being, the moral and ethical way of being, representation of Godliness within. If it can be grasp in your mind of understand?

Mary had the virtues needed for God to come through into the world, like Noah and his family for God to save to replenished the earth. We look into the world for people we admire an want to be like, but the world can be deceptive not everything is what it seems, there’s always a hidden truth needing to be revealed. So for this reason I ask God to give me wisdom, knowledge and understanding, the eyes to see and the ears to hear and discernment.

The only one I’d want to be like in this earth even today is Mother Mary. Why because being a heavenly queen, has more to offer than an earthly one, and chosen to to help change the world in the biggest way ever and actually said yes to the Lord, when asked. How awesome is That!

From the garden of Eden to the wilderness

We the children of God are so spoiled and we can’t see it. We want and want, get what we want and sometimes it turn out to be a curse rather than a blessing for us and we’re never a satisfied. It all started with Adam in the garden who was given the tasked by God to name all the animals paired off with a companion (Genesis 2:18-20) God realized it was not right for man to be alone so he made a help meet for Adam. I believed that Adam went to God saying, he wanted to be paired with someone like himself as the animals. God had already prepared to make him a companion, but wanted Adam to first form an deeper relationships with him that wouldn’t ever be unbroken. Adam being flesh and God being spirit was his problem and God give to him what his heart desired. From the very beginning God always granted whatever was asked of him, Adam got a companion Eve from the Lord. And even though there was consequences to him getting what he wanted such as Eve his companion who was tempted to eat from the forbidden tree by the serpent and then gived him also to eat in which he did. The results for their action is they both were thrown out of paradise where every thing was once provided for them, now have to work hard for their life and was eventually going to die.

I often wondered why Adam never put up a fight by insisting not to eat from the forbidden tree. He was the first to know about all of God’s creations and the dose and don’t to have taught Eve. Adam said, the woman whom he had been given, gave him and he did eat (Genesis 3:12). Instead of resisting he did just like she did without a fight ate from the forbidden tree not understanding the meaning of good and evil or death, but wanting their eyes to open and to be like God. Like innocent children wanting to be a grown up Adam and Eve were disobedient.

I examining the scriptures in Exodus and Numbers about the Israelites in the wilderness with Moses. Their behavior was no different than Adam and Eve. But unlike Adam and Eve they fought back, but for unrighteousness reasons. They complained about being taken in the wilderness to die when the Pharaohs was after them, the bitter water at Marah, that they left Egypt to thirst to death, eating only manner and not meat, they complained about Moses staying on the mountain to long so they made a golden calf to be their God, they murmured and complained so much that God sent a fire to consume some of them, and they spoke out against both Aaron and Moses. The wilderness should had become for the enslaved Israelites the new Eden the place where the Lord provided everything they needed like he did for Adam and Eve in taking care of their well being. The Israelites exasperated God so much that he threatened to had kill them. Being spoiled and throwing tantrum in wanting and wanting, then getting what they wanted, and never satisfied. Their behavior I would think had nothing to do with innocence, but sin within.

It doesn’t make any sense why the Israelites acted the way they did, when they saw the mighty hand of the Lord displayed against the Egyptian, the people feared the Lord and put their trust in him and in Moses his servant (Exodus 14:31) They were delivered from four hundred years of slavery and all they could do is complain that being enslaved was better than their freedom in the wilderness. We can now understand why man has to be saved by Grace. Our flaw and frailty doesn’t allow us to do anything other than to be obedient to the word of God to get us through the life we are given.

“All I do is win, win no matter what!”

Deejay Khalid hit song we all like the idea of winning, it’s becomes our theme song for our life. We all want to win, win, no matter what, but God sometimes requires for us to lose for his purpose. Look at Moses, he could of given up on falling his calling by becoming the Prince of Egypt next in line to being the Pharaoh marrying a princess instead of a shepherd woman. Joseph could of had his vengeance on his brothers for what they had done to him and Jesus could of call down the angel to fight against those who prosecuted and brutally beat him and then crucified him.

Are we willing to lose for the sake of God’spurpose, giving up what could make us a winners. You’re in the ring to win not lose. But look at Jesus, if we truly want to follow him, stepping down serving when you should be on a thrown being served. When you know you can fight and win, but you throw the fight for God and let the others win that’s what Jesus had done for us. It’s not for you to win sometimes, but for you to trust God to do his will when you fight hard and still lose. As a child of the most High God winning or losing is not up to us, but whatever is the will of God.

Not worthy?

I do not know what’s wrong with Christians who’s believing that Jesus’s coming is going to be so great this time. What’s wrong with you people didn’t you learn from our ancestors who believed the same thing and look what happened. This time we might be the ones crucified. Isn’t it better to not know and to know and do wrong?

We should be fearful after all the Pharisee and scribes believed themselves to have known who the messiah would be, and Jesus definitely was not to their expectation of what they believed. And surely the messiah would be in their company and not who they’d considered sinners, and unworthy.

If Jesus present in the earth the first time was to save man kind by bring us kingdom rules and being the sacrificial lamb to deliver us from sin. We should be worried how well learnt are we now, and are we trying, truly trying to be obedient to all we were taught, are we being honest to ourselves as to our relationship with the Lord or are we faking it and faking it to others as well. Remember, “God is not to be mocked” Jesus taught us, walk with us, healed us, fed us, preformed miracles, made the impossibles in our lives possible, and give us specific rules to follow like love the Lord God with all your heart, mind and soul and love your neighbors as yourself Matthew 22:36-40. Are we following and being obedient?

Don’t be fooled, saved by grace is for all the hopeless people in the world who can’t help but be the way they are and do the things they do. And as a called persons of God you have to be able to stand in faith like Job, no matter what happens to you in life. You cannot be a presumptuous sinner believing you can do whatever and you’ll still be saved by Grace. Being saved by Grace is what Jesus life death and resurrection had given us as sinners. In other words we are helpless, and hopeless in in anything we believe we could try to do to be saved but doesn’t work, because we can’t help but make mistake.

Matthew 7:21-23 (NIV) Jesus teaching of True and False Disciples “Not everyone who says to me,”Lord, Lord; will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the ones who does the will of my father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ” Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name performed many miracles?” Then I will tell them plainly, “I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!” I can only guess Jesus is talking about sinners, the one who play God themselves by being judging, jury and prosecutor of others, hating, showing no love and not treating others the way they’d like to be treated, etc. I guess grace wouldn’t be given under these circumstances when he cast you away from him.

Come on people can’t you see it’s reason to be concerned and for you to read your bible and check yourself, see if your being obedient to the will of God. Are you truly on the Lord side in your life, in every aspect of it or are we on the verge of making history repeat itself again? How well learnt are we from our past people? “Don’t know about you but I am terrified.” We’ve come too far to turn back now with so much knowledge and understanding of the things pertaining to God. You have to mentaly discipline your thoughts when it want to get off track on the things of the Lord.

The answers are within

Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, home was within her, not some where she had to be taken to. We know the truth because the truth lies within all of us and is also around us, “God, Heaven, Hell and Death. We should know there is a God because of the things in which we ourselves cannot explain or have no control. We are not just about flesh and bones, but we are also spirit within. The Holy spirit within is truth, that part of us in which answer the question like, “is there really a God?” And the answer is revealed within our soul, something happens to connect us by an intense feeling in our heart and our mind. How is it sometimes revealed physically? Through our own experiences wether through a miracle of the impossible becoming possible, by having faith and seeing it manifest. We are intuitive when born and slowly as we grow up we are conform to the world which distort truth to lies. For example as a child we are told not lie, but yet when you say to someone, their breath stinks and they’re ugly, especially to an adult, you’re reprimanded and told, “it’s not nice to say that.” So you learn to lie as not hurt someone feelings.

Technology and science has allowed us knowledge and understanding of some things. But our wisdom is still lacking ever so bad, because for some they believe we don’t need a God because we have all answers. Nothing can be answered completely without God. God is allowing us to know a little through the pouring out of wisdom, knowledge and understanding. So don’t get it twisted we can’t do what we do without him. Don’t you get It? All what we thing we know has been proven again and again we don’t know or understand everything, not even God himself.

God is the most important part of us being whole and complete. Even with the understanding that there are those who do not believe, (The atheists and the devil worshipers). It doesn’t matter when God is ready, he’ll reveals himself to whomever. We all are created and connected to God, whether or not we acknowledge it. Take a look at the animals, all the living creatures God created the difference between them and us is they live by instincts. We also have instincts, but we are not attuned to it, we have the God given ability of choice which some how fogs our minds, unlike the animals. We can choose to worship God or not unlike all his other creations. Maybe after all the only instinct we do operate in is a yearning within to figure out the meaning of life, how it all began, is there more to it and what happens after death. Whereas the instinct for animal is for their life survival. They may not be able to convey it to us, but they know God and their instinct is their obedience to Him. Just because either you were adopted or decided to renounce your biological parent is no longer your parents, doesn’t change the fact that they are still connected through your blood. And our blood connection to God almighty is our spirit.

God is visible through others

How many times do we pray that God will show us a sign that He is, John 14:8-11 ( Philip said, “Lord show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” Jesus answered,”Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing His work). And whatever we may be going through in our lives is He truly with us? Hebrews 11:6 (Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exist and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.)

As we grow spiritually we should learn, following Jesus doesn’t necessarily mean to only pick up your cross and follow Jesus like the disciples did. It also means being and doing what Jesus has done through the power of the Father. Putting on the righteousness of God. Sometimes the only God that we do see is a person, a stranger coming to your aid or that of someone else. Like Jesus every where he or she goes they are doing and being good, showing compassion and mercy to others by helping them, being obedient to God’s will and for his greater glory. God doesn’t possess us, but we can possess him, if we chose to have a personal intimate relationship with the Lord and follow him in love and service to others. He also send us the Holy Ghost that guide us in all truth, John 14:16 and 26.

Whenever someone seems to come to you like an answered prayer to fulfil you desire or whatever it maybe you’re going through and need help, it is the Lord. Sometimes it’s a stranger or even Someone you know, like a friend, family member, your doctor, and especially those faithful believers in God, who bear an uncanny resemblance to him in their actions towards those in need and suffering. A person who’s unseflesh and never waver in doing good, neither is looking for a reward for it, is like Jesus. Jesus give and never count the cost and still kept on giving and doing his Father will.

Human beings do have weakness, and imperfections, but it never has ever stop God from using them to do his will in making the world a better place and showing us that through Him we can change and make a difference.
