"His Love"

The recreation of my situation is nothing but the confirmation of my Heavenly Father’s elation to my inevitable graduation from mediocrity to an established Covenant Relation.


With vision no longer being impaired, every move that I make demonstrates the reciprocal impartation that He first Loved, that He first cared.


I am and would be absolutely nothing had He not provided me the common sense to know that His Plans, His Purpose and His Destiny for me was and is not any form of bluffing.


Tired of being “lukewarm” to the idea and the notion that life is nothing but a rip current and I'm just aimlessly swimming in the ocean. My Lord and Savior walks on the very waters that I used to fear, leading me to the deep end, in order to uproot all of my ridiculous fears.


Overwhelmed by “His Love” and not with the uncertainty of ever finding something that already keeps me in abundance. I move forward, not tripping over what's behind me, including that of reluctance.


I give what was first given to me and look for everything in return, with the caveat being, I already have the very thing that I used to yearn.


“His Love.”

"Word of God"

All throughout the Bible exists the impenetrable POWER of the “Word of God.” Of course it exists within the Bible and it is on full display. However, when you witness the “Word of God” play out in real time, it is a sight to behold. It gives me goose bumps to know that His Word is far greater than anything absurd that is thrust in my path to only make me lose focus on the direction of said path.

The enemy flees from a Believer that is armed, locked and loaded with the “Word of God.” Demons flee, mountains crumble, distractions become transparent, strongholds are broken, in your weaknesses you are made strong, the perception of throngs against you are exposed and diminished, you become replenished in His infinite possibilities, you begin to see yourself the way that He sees you, fear becomes afraid of YOU, the Truth stands on the same foundation that the “Word of God” is built upon.

I have seen the “Word of God” demolish the unnecessary adversaries as God used them to strengthen me, securing the Victory, in order to create an atmosphere of Testimony. In hindsight, they were necessary evils in order to demonstrate the POWER, of the “Word of God.”


I'm a witness!!!

"Obedient Demonstration"

Your Love endures through ALL eternity and Your benevolence has taught me to do and be the same, irrespective of.
I live not in condemnation, but in a state of forgiveness,
reminded through daily consecration that I would be nothing without your "Obedient Demonstration."
No servant is greater than His master (John 13:16),
and I serve an IMPECCABLE Master in You.
Thank You Jesus!

"It's Free"

I woke up to another glorious day with an absurd amount of Love in my Heart,
I will deposit every bit of it before my Life is no more and my soul ever departs
I'm in tune with the Holy Spirit and all that it imparts to me,
I live my Life to please Jesus Christ,
Nothing or no one outside of my Purpose and Destiny
I fill in the blanks as they are revealed with the answers that I'm provided,
There is only “one way” to live my Life and I have adamantly and firmly decided
That it is the way of the only way that my belief has afforded me,
And this temporal space of mine that I'm in cannot afford the fee of being free.
“It's Free.”

"Something New"

When the remnants and reminders about a past that no longer represents you rears itself, remind it and yourself that you are no longer there and it is no longer you, who it and they seek. The physical resemblance is the only familiarity to aforementioned. However, when the illumination of Christ shines brightly through you (Matthew 5:14), your resemblance will itself transform into "Something New."

God has essentially restored all that the devil has ever stolen from you, making all things new (2 Corinthians 5:17).

"As If"

They talk about you "As If" they know you, when their focus should be on the Lord.

They try to condemn you "As If" condemnation has been resurrected (Romans 8:1).

They hide behind the guise of perpetrating Holy, "As If" the cheap disguise is not transparent. 

They cling to fabrications and lies "As If," the Truth has been substituted in lieu of.

They refer to themselves as leaders "As If," actions do not speak louder than words.

They plant seeds of destruction "As If," they have the power to destroy what God has Ordained.

They think that they know more than what they actually do, "As If," they have been marinated in the Truth.

They parade around in fallacies "As If," the devil is not a liar.

They stand in judgment "As If" the same measure in which they judge, will not reciprocally be used against them in the same form of judgement (Matthew 7:2). 

They attempt to connect with the disconnected "As If," their absent Testimony will deliver anyone to anywhere, anytime soon.

They speak with split tongues, "As If" the Truth is comprised of strict divisiveness.

Only a fool declares his own greatness, "As If" he/she are beyond reproach.

Let the words and actions of others be not construed or intentionally confused with the Words and Actions the Lord has Spoken over your Life and demonstrated through the Blood of Jesus Christ.

In Jesus Name.

“MOVING IN A NEW DIRECTION”

The Lord has Blessed me greater than the greatest of imaginations could ever ponder and beyond what I ever deserved. It is His Grace and Mercy that has floored me, keeping me in my postured state of humility, as He grooms my God-given abilities so that I may step right on into the direction of the foundation that He has laid down before me.

This new direction is not without correction, as I am made new each and every day, at the behest of his selection.

Who I am is solely because of Who He IS within me. I gradually move into my Purpose and Destiny without an inkling of reluctance, boldly and bravely. The unknown is made known only by His revelation by way of the Holy Spirit that resides within me. I know not nothing on my own. However, I move about with the confidence of His Sustaining and awe-Inspiring Love, that has me covered coming in as well as going out.

I move within the Grace of His Grace and in the shadows of Jesus Christ. The illumination casts down the shadows presentation making it not so, as I continue to Grow into the Glorious likeness that He sees me in. I begin to fill out the shell of my own skin after shedding the thick skin of the world, making my flesh fleshy in order for Him to mold me over.

I'm "MOVING IN A NEW DIRECTION" and I'm following in the footsteps of His Heavenly Perfection.

To see God when you see me during my Life's Purpose. For to God ALONE, be all the Glory.

"Albeit Briefly"

My Mother used to impart me that it is ok to "agree to disagree." The one thing that divides us should never be the sole thing that keeps us divided. Seeing eye to eye on every single thing is a fallacy unto itself. We are not all Inspired by the same things in Life and oft times it is through the intelligent communication to someone else that does not share in your Inspiration, the opportunity to Inspire them still. The chance to bring together the one thing that was intent on keeping you separated. Most people fail in this respect because it compels them to budge from their stance and give the divisiveness a chance to reveal itself in the form of the antithesis of divisiveness. What is used against you can easily be used for you, as you learn a new way to do a new thing, bringing together a new thing, done in a completely  different way.

She never gave me the complete answers that I yearned for, and perhaps that was the brilliance of a Mother's Love. What she did do was give me just enough of what I needed in order to allow me to draw my own conclusion with just enough guidance to keep me focused and on track.

The skillset used is one of humility, with an appetite for strength and agility, to hurdle through the murkiness of uncertainty, as one would arrive at their own maturity. A saturated maturation in the form of obedience that is not reluctant to impart its knowledge and wisdom to an audience, irrespective of a belief system. Rather demonstrating through the direct actions that are to precede any words or boasting of what will be done, but being an after the fact example of what could be done, when it is all said and done.

Direct your energy towards a synergy that seeks to bridge the gap of divisiveness. Agree to disagree if you must,"Albeit Briefly," until you develop the mindset and skillset to bring together what once sought to keep you apart.

"It's All Yours Lord!"

God is AMAZING!

I would literally run out of breath, exhaust the words of the English dictionary and extinguish my own Life, trying to adequately describe "The Goodness of The Lord." He is mighty to save (Zephaniah 3:17), and the real Ultimate Warrior, leading me in the True and Only way.

Every curve, twist and turn is made straight in and through Him. Had it not been for the Lord (Psalm 124:1-7), I quiver at what could have been. But Praise be to the only King on the Throne, for I know that He never left me alone during those tests. He was just preparing me for even Greater. For Greater is He that is within Him, than he that is within the world (1 John 4:4).

Lord I Praise Your Holy Name and boldly declare my Life for You to claim. For You to do as You will, knowing that the only thing that You do is within Your Will. How Great is that to know that you are Loved by the definition of Love that has cascaded its Presence down to the lowly of lows so that we may be inspired to reach up with outstretched arms in order to Receive. Longer arms will not help me reach You Lord. However, my receptive Heart is all that You need in order to reach me. "It's All Yours Lord!"

"The Heart is a Difference-Maker!"

The difference in the difference of opinions, is in the state of the Heart. One does not have to be in total agreement with another. However, when Greater Understanding is sought, the size of the difference begins to pale in comparison to the size of the difference that never factored the Heart into the equation.

If you are not making a difference, then perhaps it's time to examine the contents of your Heart, purge out the impurities that cause unnecessary dissension, making way for the reinvention of a new Heart.

We have a choice! We do not have to allow a fractured heart to render fractured decisions, forgoing the opportunity for reconciliation from the irrational behavior of a less than whole heart.

There comes a point when being obstinate gets old and the realization of zero results begins to resonate with the brokenness, and yearning for wholeness starts to manifest itself. The reconciliation is trying to take place within the same brokenness of the same face, that houses the same Heart.

"The Goodness of The Lord"

The lessons that come in the form of Blessings just keep coming, with no foreseeable end in sight for the wonders of the Might of The Lord. When your brokenness appears to be irreparable within your own 20/20, a Greater Vision is required in order to bring you out of the muck and mire of destructiveness.

The sanity within your calamity can be found in the Presence of The Lord God, by way of Jesus Christ, and the Impartation of the Holy Spirit.

Seeking God in everything, avails Him to direct everything our way that was meant for us, and to turn us away from and remove all that was never meant for us, according to His Will.

We resist in vain and endure the unnecessary pain and agony instead of embracing the Victory that has already been provisioned with meticulous precision. 

We must learn to Seek after Him, to put all of our proverbial eggs into His Heavenly Basket, knowing that He has already worked it out for our Good. For God is eternally Good and nothing by way of man or the enemy can ever negate "The Goodness of The Lord."

For He is Faithful and worthy of all of our Praise. ReJoice in His Goodness and Praise Him all the days of your Life.

"See God in Everything!"

Whether adversity or advancement, I do my absolute best to "See God in Everything!" So, it came as no surprise when I took a gander over at my bananas. I saw 2 things:
1. Set Apart
2. Resistance to Change

When we resist change, we wind up looking (and sounding) like everything around and attached to us.


However, when we embrace change, we visibly, clearly and innately become "Set Apart."

Driving to work and what was once 4 lanes, narrowed down to 3 lanes, narrowed down to 2 lanes, and then narrowed down to 1 lane. Although we do not like the process, we must know that improvements are on the way.

"Smile Your Way Through"

The world cannot take what you are not willing to give it. Therefore, the world cannot take "your" Smile, unless you make the decision to "give it away." Make the conscious choice to give to what grows you, and decidedly starve what seeks to destroy you. Give breath to the Living and continue to breathe into it. Suffocate the negativity and do not render unto it mouth to mouth, by way of perpetuating its continued existence in your Life.

Whatever comes your way, may or may not be here to stay. However, your Peace, Joy and Happiness are all yours to partake in. Sometimes, you just need to "Smile Your Way Through" the murkiness that wants to keep you thinking less of yourself and not the Greater Than, what God has already declared to Be.

Trusting in the Word of God compels us to also Believe in the Word of God. Believing in said Word is all encompassing, whether it is "convenient" for you, or not.

If your Belief is stuck on pause, press play and start making the Right choices. Namely, the choice to BELIEVE in what God has already said about you, prior to the mediocre opinions of the world. The world's view doesn't see God's Vision because it has rendered itself incapable of seeing God.

Continue to "Smile Your Way Through."

The only thing that we should ever willingly give up is our Worship and Praise to God. 

Smile today for the frown that you had yesterday.

Smile today for the frowns that seek to come your way. 

You never know who is watching you. So, keep pressing towards the mark and "Smile Your Way Through."

Smile and Love Always!

King Jesus.

"Faith In The Long Run"

In a very short-term and temporal world, we have an innate tendency to long for something that will extend our lives in such a way that is not physically and humanly possible. However, we can expand our existence to extend beyond our physical demise, in the form of leaving something behind in the wake of our Faith and lifelong experiences.

We can make the conscious choice to Be who and what we were Called to Be, and not who and what the world expects or tries to dictate to us to be. We have a choice!

I made my choice long ago when I decided to walk away from any and everything that had not my best interests at Heart. Any and everything did not take too kindly to my decision. However, it was "my" decision in which to make.

Short-term doesn't deserve a second term. Had short-term wanted longevity, then short-term would have received the epiphany to Be. To be Faithful with the few, so that God can Bless you with many (Luke 16:10).

Being Faithful is not a mantra that is to be consumed for the purposes of oral satisfaction. Rather, it is an action that is to be demonstrated for the visually impaired. Sight is not synonymous with vision, hence the need for said demonstration.

To Be set apart and distinguishable from what is not of God, maintaining your belief irrespective of the popular forum, living a Life that is pleasing unto God, Becoming who He has Purposed you to Be, and continuously building upon the foundation that was first laid by Jesus Christ. 

The practice of Faith is not represented in the form of a sprint.

"Faith In The Long Run," is a lifelong journey that has eternal benefits, extending beyond the temporal world and one's earthly existence, serving long-term impacts with Heavenly rewards.

There is nothing temporal about eternity. For "Faith In The Long Run," has already demonstrated that at Calvary.

"Faithful And True"

We now reside in a world where the Truth is forbidden to speak and the ways of the world have taken center stage. Should the Truth utter anything of its existence, it is thought to be a form of intolerable hate. However, the reverse psychology is not effective in pulling the wool over the eyes of the see'ers and doers of the Truth.

Contrary to popular opinion, what is Right is still Right, and what is wrong is still wrong. You can dress it in whatever the latest and fashionable trends that are saturating the marketplace, and the answer shall remain the same. Just like the all consuming Word of God.

As Believers in the Word of God, it is critically incumbent upon us to walk in and with the Truth, and shun the lies of the enemy, that has far too many, believing that the story of Glory has been rewritten. In Deuteronomy 4:2, the command of the Lord is True. The Truth of the matters at hand are alive and well in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Word of God.

Allow not the temporal ways of the world to replace God as your god and fall right into the snares of the enemy and "it's" ways of certain and irreparable death. You cannot turn away from the wickedness without COMPLETELY turning away from the emptiness that it wants to fill you with.

For there is absolutely nothing more fulfilling than knowing that God  is a restorer of our Faith, renewing our Hearts and minds, all the while He delights in His "Faithful And True" children.

Relinquish the strongholds that have you anchored and cast your sails to the "Winds of Truth," believing what God has already said and not what the world wants you to believe, in the form of any rewritten story. The enemy might have the audacity, but the enemy has not the guaranteed Victory, that has already been planted deep within the souls of our creation.

"Faithful And True," is how God deals with me and you. While faithlessness and lies, are the ingredient and recipe, for an ultimate demise.

If we are called by His name (2 Chronicles 7:14), then we should answer the calling in Faith and in Truth, by being "Faithful And True."

"Please Man or Please God"

The innermost difficult of struggles pertains to separating yourself from those that have historically been closest to you. Your Heart does not desire to leave them behind. However, the Will of God oft times compels you to leave behind who and what were not meant to go with you. The key is knowing the difference in whether or not they are supposed to go with you or not. Resistance to the Will of God, is not an indication that they have their tickets stamped for the journey that you are destined to travel upon. At that point in time, you have a decision to make. You either "Please Man or Please God."

Do not be fooled into thinking that you can do both. It is not possible! Although we "can do all things through Christ" (Philippians 4:13), everyone has not been Purposed to do them with us, for Christ.

We each have a path to take in Life and riding shotgun on someone else's path negates traveling that of your own. Reciprocally, allowing someone else to ride shotgun on your path, negates that of their own as well. If either were meant to be, then they shall be, according to the Will of God.

Use this time to Pray for Wisdom, Discernment and Courage, so that you can come to know all that you will be required to know, differentiating between the two, and to then do something about it.

Man's salvation is not contingent upon another carnal man seeking a similar or same salvation. As a matter of fact, they are as different, as "Pleasing Man or Pleasing God."

Trust in what God, through the Holy Spirit, has and continues to communicate to and through you. Compromise not, nor negotiate what your ears have heard and what your Heart has received. If it is from God, you will know, and then you will know exactly what to do. Forget your feelings, for they often do not align with what God has in store, His Ultimate Plans, for you and I. It might be hard to do at first. However, we CAN do everything through Christ, who gives us strength. (‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬)

In all that you say and do, you will either "Please Man or Please God."

Choose wisely.
