"The Spirit Inside Me"

It has not been easy, however, God has indeed been Faithful! Where my physical and mental Strength fail me, He never let's me absorb the brunt of any wrath all on my own. And because of that, my Growth is on the cusp of being full Grown.

What is within me is far Greater than anything that is outside of me. "Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4).

The Spirit of God, the Love of Jesus Christ and the Infinite Wisdom of the Holy Spirit roars through my veins, screeching past all of the man made stop signs, the ambiguity of sight where there is no Vision, the selfishness that does not begin to comprehend selflessness, the confusion and chaos that cannot snare the Truth, mounting up and "soaring on wings like Eagles" (Isiah 40:31).

Defying the external gravitational pull of age is not what I concern myself with. Rather, it is the internal gravitational pull of the Love of Jesus Christ that I owe my Life to.

I have availed myself to a force that is Greater than myself. I traded in my possibilities for and in lieu of the credibility of the Divine Intervention of the Holy Spirit. And although I do not see It, I can always hear It.

I cry out Abba (Galatians 4:6), and He has heard my cries! Then is when, and there is where, I received "The Spirit Inside Me."

God the Father,
God the Son,
God the Holy Spirit!

Jesus Christ. Love. Smile. Always!

"Just That Name"

Firmly planted by the Lord's River of Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding provides a place of extreme Peace and Clarity that I do not take for granted. To be Here, is to be Near. The closeness to the relevance of Truth has overturned the conviction of all untruths that wither and die when they are planted far from the River of the same.

To answer the beckoning is a concession to a Greater point of view. One that infiltrates the outer, in order to change the inner you.

Made over from the inside, the storefront of a man's pride, offering the single product of me. In Christ Jesus, "Just That Name," He has paid the ransom that has set me free!

The only Name that I drop, is the One that picked me up. The Power within That Name to simultaneously empty me of self and fill me up.

The quenching of thirst is absent when the roots of my existence are firmly planted. May the River of Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding provide you the Peace and Clairty of the same. Jesus Christ, "Just That Name."

Jesus Christ. Love. Smile. Always!

"Been Made Well"

Your past does not define you to become bitter.

Your past refines you to become BETTER!

People are constantly reminding you of who you once were, where you once were, and what was once done. That is EXACTLY when I like to remind them of Cavalry, and the Victory, that was guaranteed by The Son. Contextually speaking, I could easily stop writing right here and be done. However, the redundancy of the enemy compels the repetitious nature to dictate that what you read and hear, is indeed what you heard and understand. The Son is the ONLY One!

Seek understanding for your own clarity's sake. Look for Healing no more, for we all have a story to tell. Life and Heavenly Intervention translates to having "Been Made Well."

Jesus Christ. Love. Smile. Always!

"In Disguise!"

Struggles are as real as the Love of Jesus Christ. However, struggles cannot claim the Inheritance of the Love of Jesus Christ. We can!

Some of the biggest challenges that I have ever encountered in my Life served as the prelude to the biggest Victories that my Strength in Jesus Christ afforded me the opportunity in which to Overcome and Conquer.

Right behind the mask of those challenges was the presence of the King.

He pushed!
He pulled!
He tugged!
He bugged!
He challenged me to challenge me!
And then He did it all over again!

I Prayed for His Divine Intervention and silence was His response. It compelled me to examine within and continue to seek Him, until He was Revealed in me.

Doubt and frustration wanted to replace Him for them, but they don't Love me like Him. They wanted to serve as the preview to my demise, and right before my eyes, was the King, "In Disguise!"

He allows the trials and tribulations to run their course during the process, so that He can demonstrate that only He can raise you up from out of your mess, promoting you to Growth.

Yet, sometimes what you go through has nothing to do with you, other than to be an example of the Christ that resides within you.

I have learned that God will use any and everything within His arsenal in order to show me just how much He Loves me. The enemy cannot have your mind when it is Focused on God! NOTHING separates us from the Love of Christ!

When you experience the silence during your trials and tribulations, don't give the situation the attention that is nothing more than a distraction. Stay Focused on seeking Him out! Right before your eyes, you will find the King, "In Disguise!"

No matter what I grow through,
I see You!

"In Disguise!"

Jesus Christ. Love. Smile. Always!

"Series of Breakthroughs"

Nothing happens overnight! From the outside looking in, things may appear to have spawned, but the reality is that things are composed over time, to form the Greater of things, in an aggregate total of ALL things.

No one thing is ever just one thing, but a collection of everything that has been conceived, and ultimately gives birth to ALL things that will work together for those that Love the Lord.

Good, bad, and otherwise, it will ALL come together to form what might appear to be a collage to some, but will actually come together as a masterpiece, of ALL things that have been conquered.

One breakthrough begets another breakthrough, begets another breakthrough, begets another breakthrough, and so on. It is in this "Series of Breakthroughs" where you will find ALL that was meant for you.

Do not be satisfied or settle for the little things that "you" can conjure up all on your own, when your belief in Jesus Christ should be as abundant as the Provider that He is. An abundant expectancy from an Abundant Delivery, of ALL that is True and ALL that He wants for you.

Your "Series of Breakthroughs" are just the preview, the onset of something Epic for ALL that you've been through. Don't watch your problems and challenges. Keep your eyes Focused on the Lord and the many Victories that are culminating into the motion picture of your Life, brought to you by a "Series of Breakthroughs."

Jesus Christ. Love. Smile. Always!
