“Don’t Forget to Feed Yourself ;)”

So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses. When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.

[Galatians 5:16-25]

“Don’t Forget to Feed Yourself ”

Good Morning Beloved,

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Most people want to be loved and appreciated. It is a basic human desire that resides in the core of all of us in some degree or other. Like anything else, it can wreak havoc if out of balance. A few of my precious young folks send up daily lamentations on Facebook of relationships and circumstances they have allowed to ruin their day. Some reach out for prayer and counsel… some are just venting. One young lady said that she felt like “giving up”. I told her to “feed her spirit and her ”feelings” will catch up”. That struck me as so powerful, I had to pause myself and stare at the keyboard. I had one of those ‘AHA’ moments. So simple, but yet so profound. I’ve heard that statement before, I’ve used that statement before, but yesterday it became Rhema or “alive” in my spirit. Yes! Whatever we feed will grow. If we feed our flesh, it will become a monster and devour us. If we feed our spirit, our faith will devour our fears and the possibilities are endless. Our God can do great and powerful things through us. We see life differently. We love differently. Our priorities shift and life is a little sweeter. Whether or not the situation changes immediately, we can change in our situation. People are people and hurt people are dangerous… but so is the person who knows their God. They are dangerous to the kingdom of darkness. Let’s resolve today to feed our spirit, connecting our heart to the heart of God and to love somebody off of Hell’s path today.

“Greater is He that is within us than he that is in the world!”

… and that Beloved is Good News!

Y Stress? … U Blessed!

Have A Fabulous Day and a Wonderful Weekend!

Do it big for Daddy!

If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

[2 Chronicles 7:14]

Good Afternoon Beloved,

Whew! Crazy day … craaaazy day. HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!! I just had to revisit this one… especially today, the anniversary of “9/11″. Today there are many memorials, and tributes. Remembering all of the brave men and women who selflessly gave their lives saving others. “Regular” people who showed great courage under fire during extremely ‘irregular’ circumstances. A common complaint I have heard lodged against The Creator is “Why?” Why does He allow atrocities like that to happen? Well, I don’t know. Why does He allow any person to sin? Why does He allow them to steal, kill and destroy? We tend to place levels and distinctions to sin. God does not. Stealing is stealing… whether it is a grape from the Safeway or somebody’s purse. We want to call down the wrath of God on the purse stealer, but what if we’re the grape-stealer? A whole new dynamic emerges. The grape does not seem to be a big deal… but it’s not ours until we pay for it. What if everybody who entered the store decided to take one grape? There would be none left. God sees all. He is righteous and His judgment is always true. I was watching a television judge yesterday, and I did not like that judges ruling. I thought it was biased and unfair. Well, the way our system is set up, if a judge is deemed unfit, they can be removed from the bench. Our God is Sovereign. He is the final authority. He has the benefit of knowing the past, the present and the future. What He allows today, will fit into a future plan that we may or may not live to see. The folks who made it into the Hebrews chapter 11 “hall of faith” did not live to see the promises of God fulfilled in their lifetime, but their descendants have benefited from their faithfulness. We are reaping the benefits of countless others before us. On the flip side, we are doing things that will be to the benefit or detriment of the generations after us.

…but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. [Daniel 11:32]

…. WHOA! …. and THAT Beloved is Good News!
