  • “Giving The Streets Something To Talk About”

    3 16 2020 1 Samuel 17 28
    Praise The Lord Everyone!!! Happy Monday to you!!! ✝️❤️😊

    Beloved the streets talk!!!
     
    Have you ever been a part of the conversation when the streets were talking? How about when the roads were talking, and you were the centerpiece of the discourse? I have, and I have no doubt, I’m still the featured figure spoken negatively about by many today.
     
    Before I returned to my life’s spiritual foundation, I would battle the streets for my reputation. One day while reading and researching the Word of God, I received a revelation. The revelation stung me hard. It showed me the culprit of my battles. What I didn’t take time to realize during my worldly experiences is the majority of my actions came from battling with the unseen. You see, when the streets get to talking, finding the person that initiated the initial negative dialog is about as challenging as the DEA trying to find a drug kingpin. One other thing I came to realize, people on the streets love to gather to see a fight or conflict. Many of them that attend the battle are the ones that (will) set you up, (will) introduce fabricated lies and deception, or (will) back-stab you to see the confrontation. I thank God for His “AMAZING GRACE!!! Today have a changed attitude. I use the negative atmosphere of street talk for my motivation to get closer to God – I get joy studying the Word of God more in-depth and broader to increase my spiritual range. I have always been doubted by family members, relatives, and those I thought were close friends. In this morning’s passage, David’s eldest brother, Eliab, threw some cruel words at him in front of the other Israelite soldiers. How embarrassing it must have been to endure his brother discrediting him. David wisely neutralized the situation. I would have loved to see what Eliab’s expression looked like when they saw David slaying Goliath!!!

    Beloved, there are many of you like David and myself that have felt the pain of mockery, rejection, doubt, and discredit from the people we thought would encourage and motivate us. If you’re in a parallel situation like David, don’t retaliate. Getting revenge isn’t the solution. Be wise and diffuse the situation. Use their mockery, rejection, doubt, and discredit as fuel to succeed even more!!! Go out there and slew your Goliath (alcoholism, drugs, being abusive, cheating, stealing, lying, manipulating, etc.!!! Now you’ve given the streets something to say. Amen? Aaamen.
    ✝️❤️😊
     
    Let Us Pray:
    Dear Heavenly Father, this morning, I come to You asking You to bless us with tolerance and humility when people doubt us and our abilities. Please help us stay peaceful in the face of mockery and give us the wisdom to diffuse the situation consciously. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen and Aaamen. ✝️❤️
     
    I Love you all!!! Have a Blessed Monday and safe week Everyone. ✝️❤️😊

  • “I’M LISTENING-CAN YOU HEAR ME?”

    Im listening

    Praise the Beloved. Here we are once again with another weekend upon us.
    Let us all thank God for this blessing.
    Beloved, this weekend let us all remember that “much said” is not always a great choice. Wanting to be heard “ALL” the time is not a good practice. At times, your point of view is not the point of view of others. You see, sometimes we have the belief that the listener should agree with everything we say and be just as upset as we are or as joyful as we are. Many think that’s the only way to show that he or she is really listening. WRONG!!! Beloved, listening is hearing, understanding, reflecting, and processing information. I can listen to your thoughts and feelings without agreeing with your point of view. You and I are different people. It doesn’t mean I don’t care for you if I don’t agree with you. It means I am hearing you. But sometimes the speaker can attack the listener for not agreeing 100 percent. That seems unrealistic and unfair.
    Beloved, we all need to accept the differences that make us unique. In fact, the differences can be opportunities for growth. When you talk to someone who understands you and cares about your “feelings” but doesn’t agree with your interpretation of events, it opens your mind to the fact that there’s more than one way to think about things.
    Beloved, this weekend let’s remember, sometimes still waters run deeper than an open ocean.
    Have a Blessed Weekend Everyone.
