"Seasons Are Changing"

Every bit of every single thing that was constructed and devised in order to promote and celebrate my demise was seen and acknowledged right before His Loving Eyes. And although He allowed me to experience the process of the enemy's mess, I only saw His Magnificent Presence through it ALL.

Christ dispatched His Holy Angels to go BEFORE me, surrounding me in the midst OF, having never departed from my side, and I walked out, head held high, closer to Christ, more than I already was.

He used the enemy to demonstrate to me, not that He ever had to, but the sheer MIGHT of His Holy Presence and I walked away, not bitter, not callous, nor angry, but grateful to know that Corey was in His Presence, and "Peace Like I've Never Known" was in me, through me, shadowing me, protecting me and sans food and water, nourishing me.

Christ was Perfect in His Demonstration, that man shall not survive on bread alone, but standing on His Holy Word, will be fed and provided all that man will ever need. To READ His Holy Word is an Honor. To CONSUME His Holy Word is a Privilege. To EXPERIENCE His Holy Word is a BLESSING! And I received every bit of it, in spite of everything!

I say this to encourage you to SEEK His Holy Face, in every place, during every trial, through all tribulations, standing firm as you witness His Holy Word in action for yourself.

Seasons didn't change me, rather they made me stronger in my Discernment with Respect to revealing all that my eyes need to see, all that my ears need to hear and all that my heart could comprehend, when this particular Season showed me God like I've NEVER seen Him before!

What was meant for my harm, was met and Righteously DISARMED, by the long arm, of Christ!

A Holy Toast to the Most High God, Whom Corey belongs to! Seasons past were never meant to last. For ONLY what we do for, and in Christ, will or shall EVER last!

King Jesus is STILL on the Almighty Throne and He CANNOT be dethroned!

"Seasons Are Changing" and the next one will be within His Will and brighter than this one! And I will continue to stand firm IN Him, ON Him and FOR Him, as a demonstration OF Him, and ALL that He has done for and delivered me from! Glory Be!

Welcome New Season! I'm still here! And God still hears my cries and receives all of my Praises unto Him!

The pain only starts at the resistance of change. So just stand firm in your Faith for "Seasons Are Changing," while the Heavenly Father continues to remain the same, Faithful!

God, Love, And Smile Always!

"Peace Like You've Never Known"

One day I found out that I was never waiting for it to arrive, like I previously thought. It was always right there, waiting for me to receive it. The prerequisite for its reception was the internal modification that required my attention to the matter, before it was to ever expose to me the real heart of the matter.

Having been taught an invaluable lesson, the Blessing was adamant in residing within, and being on the outskirts was simply not good enough.

Therefore, I conceded to my old ways and ushered in the new days that would yield me new results that were brought about by a renewed way of thinking.

Staking a claim to what does not rightfully bare my name is as plagiaristic as we know it to be. So, I borrowed FROM, so that it may take me TO, that Place.

This Place that does not allow you to come in as you were, and makes you even better after you have arrived. And although it is not a destination, you will not leave once the reception of your heart has welcomed it to now be and play an intimate part. There will be no need to memorize your lines, for the method to this part has become innate, an insatiable characteristic that can never be satisfied, as it takes you deeper than you ever thought it could, deeper than you've ever known it to be.

Irrespective of what is going on around you, nothing will get on the inside of you, protected by the fortress that you were not expecting, as you delight in the Joy that you now freely feel. The pain is gone. The wrong was made right. And one of the privileges of such a Place, is the acknowledgment that you will never have to fight, Again.

It is so beautiful to know that such a Place exists. There is no physical address, for it goes WITH you, wherever you are, whenever you get there, and it LEAVES with you, because it STAYS with you. *Peace* If you have never met it, an invitation to this Place has your name written on it. And where you would normally affix the return address, the only thing that you need to write is:

"Peace, Like You've Never Known"

It will get you there, because only one Place such as this, Exists.

God, Love, And Smile Always!

"Claim His Name!"

People have no problem claiming frivolity on their taxes, but when the time comes to claim King Jesus or the Heavenly Father, they "claim" any and everything BUT! As for ME, I lay CLAIM to the Heavenly Father by way of His Son, King Jesus!

In a non-judgmental capacity, I challenge you to claim the ONLY name that reigns supreme across ALL borders and across ALL lands.

The Mighty and all Powerful Name of King Jesus has enabled the impossible to be the all encompassing Possible. For can we NOT do ALL things through Christ Jesus, which strengthens us? Then "Claim His Name!"

What we face alone and in defeat, can be faced Victoriously when we deposit it to Him and seek His Glorious Face in all things that attempt to destroy us in every capacity.

On a daily basis, I challenge myself to seek His Face and "Claim His Name" in all that I do and in all that is done, knowing that His Presence means that I am NOT alone, He will fight for me, and the battle has already been won!

The Son has provided me with all that I will ever need. I lay claim to nothing that can ever be replaced. I only lay claim to that, which cannot be replaced. Money and materialism comes and goes, and for some, it has already came and went. But He has given me Him, and He CANNOT be replaced!

So Jesus, I CLAIM You in the form of the Holy Spirit, in the form of Your Divine Presence and in the Majestic form of the Holy Father that sent you here to forgive, redeem and renew me, in You!

I claim every aspect of you! I concede my non-existence had it not been for You! I relinquish all of me, so that You may replenish this shell, filling it to capacity with all of You!

I cannot claim You on my taxes, but I can bring my Blessings into Your storefront and honor You for affording me the opportunity to.

I cannot consume Your flesh for the my nutritional intake and aspects of my health, but I can Bless Your Holy Name for placing before me something, MORE than bread alone, the words that can fill any insatiable appetite that hungers for more of You. Therefore, I "Claim Your Name!"

I adore You!
I claim You!
I expect You!
I need You!

Thank You Jesus for being the "soul" stakeholder in my Life! May my CLAIM to Your Holy Name always reach You, and may You Smile upon me and delight in my Love for You!

In Christ Jesus, I "Claim Your Name!"

God, Love, And Smile Always!

"The Weight of Glory"

Another day in which to give Praise and Thanksgiving to the Almighty, King of Kings.

As a servant of the Lord, the places that you will travel and the things that you will encounter and experience are all a part of His "Iron Sharpening Iron" process. And through it all, the Lord shall never leave your side, the Holy Spirit will impart to you all that you will ever need to say and or do, and actually go there BEFORE you arrive, in order to secure the Righteous path, that the Will of the Father can and will be done, in accordance to His Masterful Plan.

It is there, wherever there may be, that you will go with the Peace that resides within you, prohibiting you from ever feeling "alone" or snared in "fear," which is itself afraid of the presence of the Lord, hence the need to have Him within you, at ALL times.

You go in Peace, stay in Peace and together you shall remain in Peace AND in one piece. For not one finger will be lifted against the Temples that house the Spirit of the Lord.

Empty yourself and replenish the same, with the Spirit of His Holy Name.

For the burdens of the weight of the world are Victoriously outdone by the abundance of "The Weight of Glory."

Defeated not, but in Victory I stand, surrounded by God's Unflinching Glory! To God Be!

God, Love, And Smile Always!

“We Come Away From His Presence, Changed!”

"We Come Away From His Presence, Changed!"
There I was, in a place that I did not want to be, for a reason that was unjust, but solidly in the midst of everything, was the Presence of the Lord. He compelled my presence by allowing things to unfold in a manner, from the outside looking in, was ridiculous, at best!  But what was meant for your harm, Praise God, He will use for your good, and leave the enemy confused in their own chaos!  During that time, I encountered the presence of Christ, standing firm on His Holy Word.  Standing on my knees, in prostration to the order of His Day, and not that of mine.

The silver lining in this Blessing is the fact that although I was where I did not want to be, I was not where the enemy wanted me to be.  And although they tried in vain, the pain of my weakness was deposited at the feet of Christ, where He touched my entire being and I rose from standing on my knees, to receive the full Grace, Mercy and Favor, that He would have for me.

The components to the enemy's device fell apart and Christ would later use those very same components to build a fortress around me, and compel those components to work FOR me as opposed to their original design of working AGAINST me!  If my Faith needed restoration, it had been successfully restored in the form of Victory, In Christ Jesus!

Whomever God uses to demonstrate His Awesome Might, is privileged indeed! Whatever God uses to construct the Vision of what His Ultimate Victory will look like, is Blessed indeed!  And whenever God uses His assets to demonstrate and construct His Fortress around you is timed perfectly, and without fail, successfully, indeed!

In His Holy Presence, the boldness of the enemy is foolish enough to tempt you to respond to evil with evil.  But just as Christ Himself was tempted, the Mighty and Powerful Name Alone is not only Worthy of Praise, but stronger than anything that is coming up against you, with the audacity to lure you into performing the same type of debauchery.  But Grace, for which I do not deserve, and Mercy to spare me from what I do deserve, is the True order of the day, when you are in the Holy Presence of Christ Jesus.

The impartation of the Holy Spirit guided my path by going before me, directed my steps by walking beside me, and speaking the words that would ultimately free me, from the snare of what the enemy was trying to do to destroy me.  But God! Interceding as I held on to my Faith, placing Angels around me to ward off and protect me from the spirit of fear that had no place in the Presence of God.  Whom Shall I Fear? Courageousness was all I needed to demonstrate, after having first showed up, to use me as a symbol of His Victory.  For, if it was to come THROUGH me, it would have to do so at the appointed time and place that He mandated it to be. Instead of being sought out, I showed up, and He made the impossible POSSIBLE, because in Christ Jesus, I can do ALL things through Him, which Strengthens me.

Hold on tight to your Faith.  Relinquish your grasp of it never! Continue to give God the Glory that His Majesty so deserves, and marinate in the privilege that it is to know that He is using you to show others that He is God, ALL by Himself!

After having been in, "We Come Away From His Presence, Changed!"

"Complete. Completely. Complete's Me."

The existence of me had nothing to do with me! Yet it had everything to do with the plans that God has always had for me. One cannot simply lay claim to something that they themselves do not "own." So, if I belong to Him, I am not even in a position to lay claim to my "own" existence!

Life on my "own" would be no more than an exaggerated microcosm, even at the greatest levels of earthly achievement. If what I were to do did not Glorify Him, it would ALL be for naught.

In Faithfully Serving God, you do a service upon yourself, that constantly reminds you of Whose you are, not what you are or who you become on your "own." What you have rendered unto yourself is nothing. And the mere thought that you are who you are because of "you" alone is a fallacy in your "own" thought process that silently begs to differ unto it is loudly proclaimed in your inevitable need for something greater than "you" and your "own" existence.

The existence of me had nothing to do with me!

Through God, I know that I am "Complete."

My Lord and Savior Loves me "Completely."

And the direction and protection of the imparted Holy Spirit "Complete's Me!"

God, Love, And Smile Always!

"Do Not Be Discouraged!"

Joshua 1:9

When it appears that every one of your enemies, both known and unknown, are lined up taking simultaneous and calculated shots at you, allow your Faith to waiver NOT! When parts of your past continue to rear their likeness, ugliness and wickedness unto you, turn away from the temptation of the enemy of responding in the manner in which they seek. Just because they allow the enemy to USE them, does not mean that you have to follow the same path and allow the enemy to USE you.

Wherever you go, whomever it is with, and whenever it is, know that God will be WITH you.

"Do Not Be Discouraged!"

If you were NOT of the right ilk and cut from an invaluable cloth, they would not want a piece of you. They would actually want nothing to do with you. But when your representation is built on the foundation that can withstand the evil penetration of the fabrication of truth, continue to stand on the only thing that does matter, the Truth!

"Do Not Be Discouraged!"

When former friends turn to enemies, thank God for revealing the snakes when He compelled you to cut the grass that you already thought was well manicured to begin with. See people for who and what they REALLY are, and be not dismayed when they fade to black and continue their onslaught and perpetual attacks. But know, ONLY what we do for Christ will EVER last!

"Do Not Be Discouraged!"

In the darkest and loneliest of places, Seek His Face so that He may reveal Himself to you more as you go deeper into His presence. Seeking Him halfheartedly will yield you the same results. Likewise, Seeking Him Wholeheartedly will yield the same results.

"Do Not Be Discouraged!"

Use your time in His Holy Presence as a time of reflection, an opportunity to deposit all of your weaknesses unto Him, so that you may renew yourself in His likeness and withdraw from His Strength.

The Collage of Righteousness that paints your portrait is far Greater than the "sketch" that the enemy has drawn of you.

Believe in the Faithfulness of God! He will take you THROUGH it, irrespective of however you came TO it! Whatever He allows to happen to you will only sharpen you as an asset within His Kingdom! For it is only preparation that you will undertake prior to your promotion. Consider it OJT (On-the-Job-Training)! Imagine what your resume will read like, if the Lord is training you to fight within His Army.

Therefore, "Do Not Be Discouraged!"

God, Love, And Smile Always!

"IS"

I marvel at the changes that have rearranged the thought processes thus making the way for a new day, perpetrated in a new way, irrespective of what others fail to understand. For what God has for one, is not synonymous with that of another man.

Being who you are purposed to be and acknowledging the worth is far better than the comprehension outside of your reality. Your Life's purpose "IS" your reality!

"Live Up to the Sacrifice"

The Privilege to serve God is an honor that is bestowed upon those that understand what a High Privilege it is, that has been unmistakably assigned.

Oft times, our names are affixed to things that amount to anything but our contributions, in preparation to living a Life in eternity, in the presence of our Heavenly.

So stubborn we are to simply comply with the plan of the same enemy that will wind up systematically destroying you, at the same time that you help him attempt to destroy another.

The time when we resist the temptation of the devil is not nigh, but right now! What he will do to one, he will surely do to another, INCLUDING you.

May the positive, Spirit-filled Life that you lead, be the shining example that others will follow, whether or not you know it or not. For the Glory is for the Lord, so your own knowledge of your own impact is irrelevant, just keep pressing forward, continuing to always do the right thing, irrespective of the plans against you, knowing that God sees ALL, God hears ALL, and that God knows ALL! Only what we do for Christ will last! And obedience to anything other than Him, is nothing less than your compliance to your own destruction.

You seal your very own fate, the INSTANT that you choose to partner with hate! The enemy will demonstrate a couple of small victories to keep you onboard with his plan, but the ONLY victory was the demonstration of Christ at Cavalry!

Live.
Live Up.
Live Up to.
Live Up to the.

"I'll See You Later"

I kissed my Mother on her forehead and told her, "I'll See You Later," before I watched them close her casket.

I then took my seat next to her Father, my Grandfather, as I held my son in my lap, as the Pastor prepared to Eulogize my earthly Angel.

Since then, my Life has never been the same. But far be it from me, to utter discontent or complain.

Life hasn't been fair, but God has been Just and Faithful in His Word to those, His People, that are Just and Faithful to Him.

Where I stood and where I now stand, are both in firm confirmation of His Holy Masterplan, that shall not ever negate what His Will and His Purpose are for my Life.

What my eyes have seen, what my ears have heard, and what my Life has endured, have all been made clean and whole by the Potter's Hands of Reshaping, Remolding, Renewing and Rebuilding.

What is seen, heard and experienced going forth will only be what He has for me to see, what He has for me to hear, and what He has for me to partake in. All else matters not, irrespective of the source that stirs the pot.

If hands are not cleansed in Righteousness, then the culinary skills are irrelevant, for the meal will not be sufficient in the redeeming power and appetite of the Lord. To eat well, is not to live well. But to live well, will lead you to be well, and afford the opportunity for others to partake in the feast that is your Life of Holy abundance.

Feed off of the words that touch your heart and have made their way through the conduit of a servant of the Lord. Famished appetites are welcomed.

The words, "I'll See You Later" were words that echoed in conclusion to any conversation with my Mother. And in her final earthly appearance, it is those words that resonate within a body and mind that captivate my attention as I part ways with those that I Love.

Goodbye's are forever. Only what we do for Christ will last. Let those who Love the Lord hate evil. And may the words of the Redeemer live within us always. Even long after the caskets of our own existence are closed on us, and it is our Loved ones that are left to rejoice in our final destination.

Until the next time, "I'll See You Later."

"Almighty Powerful Blood of Christ!"

Smelling Blood in the water, the sharks begin circling the perceived to be injured, famished by their sense of weakness, as they converge upon what they think is an easy prey...but I Pray!

Only to be plucked right out of the jaws of defeat, leaving the predators wondering what happened, as the Rescued and Redeemed Rejoice in the Promises that He first made.

You see the Blood that was sensed was not the Blood of the broken, disheartened, convicted and condemned. Rather, it was the "Almighty Powerful Blood of Christ!"

The Savior lured you IN, so that He could pull me OUT, in order to demonstrate the "Almighty Powerful Blood of Christ!"

Sometimes in Life, we are being circled by the same type of sharks that sense a weakness within us. We may not be able to readily identify their type, or who they are, but rest assured, the Lord is keeping a very keen and watchful eye. When they think that they have you right where they want you, He swoops right on IN and brings you right on OUT, of the very situations that we oft times find ourselves in.

The vast majority of the time, the Savior is saving us from ourselves, but irrespective of how our situations came to be, it is His Grace and Mercy that serves us in His Loving capacity, shunning the audacity of the enemy, leaving them to the destruction of their own vices that they attempted to snare you in.

What a tangled web they conceive, when the enemy makes good on their attempt to deceive. But, who better to untangle that web of deceit, airlifting us up out from those jaws of defeat?

Declare it to be so: "YOU CANNOT DEFEAT ME BEAUSE THE "ALMIGHTY POWERFUL BLOOD OF CHRIST" AT CAVALRY HAS SET ME FREE, IT HAS REDEEMED ME, AND IT HAS PERMANENTLY GUARANTEED ME THE VICTORY, IN JESUS NAME! I CANNOT LOSE!"

My Life's stage is set, the props are in place, and the finish line is already there. Lead by the Holy Spirit, I follow the script of the Author and Finisher of my Life's story! It began when HE spoke it into existence. And it will end when HE says it to be so!

There is NOTHING like the Redeeming "Almighty Powerful Blood of Christ!"

I'm here, but the Blood that the enemy senses is not the Blood that they think it is. That Blood belongs to Christ and He shed it for the Redeemed! Circle around, attack and chomp away, but know that the Father will always protect His son, and I am one of many of them.

May the cleansing power of the Blood of Christ FOREVER erase the mistakes of the past, the thoughts that are not of or like Him, and the selfish actions that contribute to placing us in those shark infested waters to begin with.

The Most High God is why I was, why I am, who I will be, what He will make me into, and the who, what, where and why, with respect to how He will use me, in order to demonstrate Him!

Whom Shall I Fear with the "Almighty Powerful Blood of Christ" covering me: wherever I go, whatever I do, whomever it is with, whenever He declares it to be? Absolutely no one!

Thank You Jesus!!!

I live because You shed Your Blood and died! You took my place on the Cross and imparted the same Blood to cover me through my Life's journey. Sense my weakness, and endure defeat. My Strength is from the "Almighty Powerful Blood of Christ," and I prostrate myself UNWORTHILY, and directly at His feet. So, if you ever want to see me, you will have to come into His Presence, in order to find me. I'll be one of the many, covered in the "Almighty Powerful Blood of Christ!"

God, Love, And Smile Always!

"Get Reconnected and Stay Connected!"

The enemy understands that he is on borrowed time that he already knows that he cannot get back nor pay back, hence the reasons why he is desperate in his attempts to steal your time, kill your joy, and at the very least, to bring destruction upon you.

And there He is, the Author and Finisher, completely interceding on our behalf, with victory already secured, the One that has never lost a battle and is undefeated in everything that He already knows to be true, by way of the Father, imparted by way of the Son, and reminded to us by way of the Holy Spirit.

To say that we are ill-prepared just serves as a personal reminder that we are currently disconnected from the Source of ALL of our Strength, although the Source is never disconnected from us. There is no "off switch" that was rendered in our situations, rather an internal "on switch" that compels us to re-engage our Source, from which all power flows. Whenever we realize our devices are running low, we do our absolute best to reconnect them to an energy source that can Save them from dying. If we were to only treat ourselves with the same amount of Love and respect that we do our devices, then the Love and respect from the vices of Life would have no bearing or relevance in how we live our lives.

When your strength is feeling low, "Get Reconnected!"

Should your strength already be high, "Stay Connected."

If you know that you are disconnected, humble yourself and "Get Reconnected!"

Make a daily mental note to turn your internal power source on to the external Source of ALL Power.

If He got up from the grave, then we can surely get on our knees, give thanks, deposit our weaknesses, withdraw from His Strength and Rise up from our predicaments! Only, if we "Get Reconnected and Stay Connected!"

"With Love in My Heart and Jesus on My Mind!"

I woke up this morning, "With Love in My Heart and Jesus on My Mind!"

On my knees, I thanked my Savior for another Glorious day, "With Love in My Heart and Jesus on My Mind!"

I worked out, "With Love in My Heart and Jesus on My Mind!"

I got ready for the day, "With Love in My Heart and Jesus on My Mind!"

I drove to work, "With Love in My Heart and Jesus on My Mind!"

I will traverse through the day, "With Love in My Heart and Jesus on My Mind!"

Two constants in my Life that thankfully will not ever change!

And tomorrow, God Willing, "With Love in My Heart and Jesus on My Mind," I will do it all over again. If for no other reason than to flatter Him, by imitating His Perfect Love, and my Love for Him, "With Love in My Heart and Jesus on My Mind!"

Thank You Jesus!!!

"Don't Look Back, And Keep On Moving!"

In order for us to look back, we are compelled to hinder our forward progression.

In order to continue with our forward progression, we must not allow ourselves to feel compelled to look back.

Easier said than done, but if you have already moved on, essentially, you have already won! Do not return to the loss when you were lost, for you have already endured enough L's, if you were to only tally the cost.

Allowing someone or something to determine your value is indicative of the fact that they themselves are uncertain of their very own worth. Their ambiguity has absolutely NOTHING, to do with your reality.

Confusion and chaos are not the order of any day, when you are being lead by a Spirit that is DETERMINED, to have its way.

You cannot trip over what is BEHIND you, if you are continuing to move forward with what is in FRONT of you.

The future's only recognition of the past, comes in the form of experience. Do not mark your past as present, when it shouldn't even be on the attendance sheet. One does not hold on to the keys to their old car that they sold, in hopes that they can re-drive it again one day. So do not hold on to the things of the past, in hopes that you can re-live it again one day.

Keep pressing onward with your Life's Purpose. And if you do not know what that Purpose is, inquire within yourself and ask God to reveal it to you. He Will!

Your only prerequisite, if you will, is to "Don't Look Back, And Keep On Moving!"

God, Love, And Smile Always!

"Love is Something to Believe In"

Many a belief systems have origins that were first deposited within us from what we were taught growing up. Their applicability to our lives are consistent, whether good or bad, if we elect to never do anything to modify them in order to fit within our current Life situations. Love, is one of those things.

Some people grew up without Love and use that as an excuse as to why they do not have the capacity to Love themselves, or anyone else for that matter. But, Love does matter!

Love is an activity that warrants your participation, not for the purposes of winning because if you have Love, then you have already won!

Irrespective of your personal experience and belief system with respect to how you once knew Love, I implore you to come to know a different kind of Love. The type of Love that is Truly Unconditional in its Presentation and in its Declaration, all preceded by its humbling Actions.

Believe in something that already believes in you, should you only incline yourself to yield to something Greater than yourself! Get You out of the way, so that Love can have its way. For Love will not stop at your obstinate intersection to see which direction that you indecisively decide to travel upon. If Love is not the way, then you are clearly and destructively, going the wrong way.

The road less traveled will one day be populated with like-minded individuals that wish to partake and participate in something that would provide an eternity of prosperity, when they finally come to the conclusion, thus making the decision, above all else, to believe and to act, in the name of Love.

Your new understanding will reveal the former ignorant understanding as it was, forever illustrating the contrast between the two. And as you look back over your Life, you will begin to fill in those gaping holes with what you now believe to be real Love.

It all starts with a belief, in your new system of thinking, to override the old thoughts and what you were taught and or gleaned elsewhere, bringing you here, from all the way over there.

If you have never before, it is not too late to start doing so now.

"Love, is Something to Believe In."

"Greater Love"

There is none greater than that of the Almighty! An ALL consuming Love that precedes your Love. An ALL consuming Love that succeeds your Love. An ALL consuming Love that consumes everything outside of Love. Love is undefeated and has the proven track record to boast, if that was indeed something that Love actually did.

When what you represent is actually who and what you are, there is no advertisement nor announcement, that can promote it better than you actually living it! For there is nothing greater than that of which you are! There is nothing greater than that of which has been deposited within you.

Seeking greatness starts within. Becoming greatness succeeds what you have successfully sought. What you have found after having successfully sought what was already within you, compels you to delve deeper inside of you, in order to pull out the absolute BEST in you, fulfilling what you have been created and purposed to do, from the onset.

There is nothing greater than that of Love! For it was the Love of the Almighty that first drew up the blueprints for your scheduled arrival, way before you even knew about the trip, the journey and the ultimate destination.

Could it be that the thought of procrastination is actually a representation of God's continuous preparation, within you? If you're not ready, your frustration of having exactly what you want, yet knowing not the first in what to do with what you now have, will cause you to squander it ALL. The knowledge of ourselves and what is best for us, is known to Him, and better than us. Therein, I find the Trust!

Just a faint glance in my Life's rearview mirror of everything that I have ever overcome, is proof enough of the "Greater Love" that is within Him, that I now see within me. There is nothing greater than to be and live exactly what you represent, in the name of something greater than your existence, that will continue to succeed something that will always precede the traveler of that trip, the passenger on that journey, and the representation of that ultimate destination.

Nothing is greater than that of the Almighty!

There is no "Greater Love" than what He has "sufficiently," deposited within me!

From the Greatest Almighty, who has afforded us the ALL that He has deposited WITHIN us, in the form of a "Greater Love."

God, Love, And Smile Always!

"Love, Even More"

The self reasoning will produce self doubt, which will inevitably compel you to rationalize how much you decide to Love. But that process is flawed at best, irrespective of how much you attempt to convince yourself that it actually makes sense.

You cannot place boundaries around Love, expecting Love to just sit and stay, while you go out to run and play.

The more you decide to Love, the greater the heights that Love will take you to. So, embark upon a path that is laden with Love strung all along the way, in order to demonstrate to you the power that Love will always be willing to convey.

Do not talk yourself out of what you know Love to be. Do not change the foundation, infrastructure or architectural make up of why what was built, was for all to see.

"Love, Even More," far greater than you ever did before, and never stop Loving, even when they stopped Loving. Allow no one or nothing to dictate the characteristics and personality of the Love that exists within your heart.

"Love, Even More," and specialize in the growth spurts that Love affords you when you begin to realize that you have started to outgrow your old train of thought, jumping the tracks to a new train of thought, customizing your new thought process for a new you, that no longer fits in the old space in which you used to occupy.

There is every reason to "Love, Even More," and there is no reason to continue to Love the same.

God, "Just Love," And Smile Always!

""Stop," said Love!"

Stop fighting with Love!

Stop picking fights with Love!

Stop instigating Love's attention if you plan on doing nothing WITH Love!

Stop flirting with Love if you never plan to take Love out!

Stop harassing Love with your idle threats of commitment to Love!

Get off of the Love bandwagon since you prefer to ride, refusing to ever drive Love!

Stop rehearsing Love as IF, you play a big part IN, Love!

Stop accusing Love of the decisions that YOU made, in the name of Love!

Stop giving Love a bad name, one that Love does not deserve!

""Stop," said Love!"

Stand strong IN Love and STOP skirting around Love's perimeter as IF you plan on ever jumping IN Love!

Actions will always speak louder than any words, but when they are Love's words, the actions are synonymous with those words.

""Stop," said Love!"

God, "Just Love," And Smile Always!

"Love Changed My Life Completely!"

Walking around hurt was the order of the day. The enemy had me right where he wanted me. But God! The Father allowed the process to run its course because He knew that what He ultimately had in store for me and my Life, even before my Life was to be by way of Ramona. Cultivating one of his sons to become the one that He set aside a specific task, purpose and destiny for.

If the test precedes the testimony, which it absolutely does, may I enter into my exams with the full armor of the Lord, now abundantly aware of whose battle this actually is.

The fight is not mine, but the spoils of the victor belong to the Faithful of a King that does not lose a battle, any war or planned destruction of a Life that He has ordained to be. Faithful is the servant and rewarded he shall be!

The Love of Christ has given me the privilege to absorb His Love, and to sweat that same Love right out of my pores for the purposes of absorption for another, by way of the same Love.

Love has done a miraculous thing in my Life and Love is the reason why my Life shall always be no less than a Life that is inundated with the ever-flowing river of Love, to be consumed by those that I Love, irrespective of the dry season of Life that we may be in.

I thirst for the Lord and I never quench said thirst so that my river never runs dry, but allows me to splash and rejoice in the fullness of Him, drenching myself, totally immersed in all that is good, all that is right and all that is well within Him.

The microcosm of an existence that is mine, is the colossal representation that is Him. I demote myself in order to promote Him and His Will. I resigned my position so that He could hire me to play the position that He drew up specifically for me. Even what is for me is merely a conduit for Him, in order to receive the glory, which I thoroughly oblige. The matrimony to such a story could only be authored by the recipient, for Whom is Worthy!

Had it NOT been for the Love of Christ, MAKING the ultimate Sacrifice, my existence would be that of nothing to know, nothing to show, and nowhere to go.

"Love Changed My Life Completely!" And the Love of Christ compels the confusion of the plans of the enemy whenever he tries to defeat me!

"Love Changed My Life Completely!" And the Love that emanates from me, originated from Him, thus compelling me to give it freely!

"Love Changed My Life Completely!" And I bask in His overflow and the Heavenly Glory that transformed and molded me, prior to releasing me back, brand New!

Love is God's opportunity to demonstrate ALL that He is capable of! And Love is our opportunity to demonstrate to Christ ALL that we are grateful for.

"Love Changed My Life Completely!" And after all that was said and done, it is the Love of Christ, that actually and forevermore, completes me!

God, Love, And Smile Always!

"Love and His Grace"

The moment that I began to seek His face, is the instant that I began to realize His Grace. Any and everything that I ever sought, was any and everything that could not ever be bought. There are two things in Life that one cannot thrive and live without. And they are, "Love and His Grace."

Smile and Love Always!!!
Corey A. Ford

"Love Continues to Rage On"

Unbeknownst to us, there were a lot of people watching us. The number of those that were for us, far outweighed those that were against us. Deception crept in and took up residence where our Love began to dwell. And by the time the eviction notice was served, the relationship was successfully quelled.

The enemy thought that he won THAT battle, but "Love Continues to Rage On." Nothing could ever change the day that My Love at first sight with you, was born.

I gaze upon the reflection of what it could have very well been. But there is no doubt that the timing of it all, was not ready for us to begin.

Nothing ever done or said shall ever separate you from my Love, because in you is where I found me, desperately wanting to demonstrate THAT Love.

I made a Promise to God THAT when He revealed her to me, that I would honor, cherish, marry and always Love her, giving her all of me. If nowhere else but within my heart, I will keep my Promise to do exactly what I Promised to God.

Should the timing coincide with God's Will, I will do all that I Promised to God, better equipped to rise above the ignorant fray that wishes its own reflection was the reason for the brightest of days.

The enemy actually didn't win! God just didn't want us to begin, until He Blessed it "To Be." And when He does, I will proudly proclaim, "I Do!"

When you are the example of what true Love actually resembles, the enemy will quiver at THAT demonstration, commence his onslaught of malignant infiltration, all in line with his deceptive plan of destruction and manipulation, that will mostly originate from the ones that desire to be where you are and to partake and ultimately take what you have. If for no other reason, than to keep their own misery company.

Since the knife cuts both ways, the demonstration of Love now serves as an example of how to reside within THAT demonstration of Love. For sometimes you have to fail in order to succeed. When your heart is full of the Holy Spirit, you are not consumed by selfish greed.

The victory of the enemy was only temporary, although the perception was anything but, because the "Love Rages On" in the midst of a perceived rut.

Thank You Jesus for the opportunity to fill me afresh and to renew myself within You. If and when things fall apart, I know to use You as THAT glue. In accordance to God's Supernatural Will, things never really fall apart, they are actually falling into place, all in an effort to compel you, to seek His Face.

He used you to bring me even closer to Him. And what was meant for my harm, now makes me cling even tighter to His arm. I Smile, knowing that "Love Continues to Rage On."

God, "Just Love," And Smile Always!

"The Beauty of Love"

I am inspired by "The Beauty of Love."

Not one to be overly impressed with one's physical features. For it is the heart I confess, that is the best teacher.

It teaches me to be, whether or not I am able to see. It compels me to do, all that I was purposed to.

It forgives all that I have ever done, and encourages me to relinquish it all at the feet of the Son.

"The Beauty of Love" covered me whenever I ventured outside of the covering that it always had for me.

How foolish to think that Love ever did me wrong, when it was my own actions that made me weak in lieu of being strong.

Love does exactly what it is supposed to do. It clears a path that we are intended to follow through.

It is our own reasoning that ultimately leads us astray. But Love doesn't budge, knowing that one day we will return with the intent to stay.

It allows us to explore, but it worries not since there is nothing better on the other side of any door.

And there she is, answering when she hears me knock. From down the street, around the corner, and back home to rejoin the flock, of all of her birds of a feather that congregate and fly together. "The Beauty of Love," never changes, irrespective of the weather.

Smile and Love Always!!!
Corey A. Ford

"My Gaping Love"

Loves doesn't ever stop, whether you are standing atop of it, stretched out underneath it or somewhere marinated in the middle. Love will continue to do what Love is supposed to do: teach us, mold us, remake us, transform us and send us right back out there to be a component of the living example of what Love is all about.

Love will use you as soon as you make yourself available to the possibilities of something greater than your existence, as it uses your existence to plant future seeds, thus compelling the continuation of its immaculate existence.

What but Love, could achieve such a thing? Rhetorically speaking because true Love navigates the terrain not by its spoken words, but rather by its staunch actions to make the difference anywhere it knows that a difference needs to be made, taking with it the power that it yields, out on the front lines of every battlefield, converting the non-believers and generating new followers within its Loving Army, that marches to the orders of a Heart that is abundantly aware of its purpose and the promise that fulfills the destiny within that purpose.

I subscribe to the notion of Love because it was Love that first taught me. It was Love that molded me. It was Love that remade me. And it was Love that transformed me!

And here I am, right back out there to be a component of the living example of what Love is all about!

Do not allow whatever has been said about you to alter the natural course of your heart.

Do not allow whatever has been done to you to alter the natural course of your heart. Love just wants you to Love and to play your part.

That mass opening that runs deeper than a bottomless "whatever" can be filled. God will use any and everything together for the good of those that Love Him.

I renamed my own mass opening of "whatever," and everyday I attempt to fill what is a "Gaping Love," knowing that the goal is not to ever "fill" it, but to FEEL it!

"My Gaping Love"

God, "Just Love," And Smile Always!

"The Problem with Love"

The perfect demonstration of Love is that of God sending down His Son, our Lord and Savior, to teach men, to take on the form of sin, and to pay the ultimate price, in order for Him to ascend, back to be seated on the right hand of the Father.

There is nothing that we can say and or do to add to that perfect demonstration of Love. Unless of course, you actually think that you can do better.

Stop trying to make Love over, customizing it to fit your wants and needs. Rather embrace Love in its purest and most perfect form, and let YOU be the one that is transformed, to take on its Christ-like flawless existence.

Never let Love be an "option," but a mandatory necessity in order to negate any and all negativity that would sway your belief that you can actually do better, when the reality of such is idiotic and impossible. But with God, ALL things are indeed possible, starting with Love.

Renew your commitment to Love on a daily basis. And know that "The Problem with Love," is absolutely nothing at all!

God, "Just Love," And Smile Always!
Corey A. Ford

"Just Love"

I am a FIRM, staunch believer in Love, just plain old Love! The single (no pun AND pun intended) most wonderful gift that was ever bestowed upon us out of and for the only apparent reason, Love. Had it not been for the resurrection of the physical demonstration of Love, the infiltration of all that is contrary to Love could have very well been victorious in the absence of Love. But thank God that He had other plans instead of the desires of the selfish and committed the most rewarding act of selflessness, by providing us with the absolute BEST representation of Love that we can always use as an impeccable point of reference, thus gauging how we demonstrate our Love, revealing to us how we can always improve upon what we know to be Love, trying to master what we never will, but appreciating the beauty of the opportunity to at least try to impress Love with our representation of the same. So, if imitation is the best form of flattery, reinvent the version of Love that you know and grow into the only version of Love that actually works

"Just Love," just plain old Love.

God, "Just Love," And Smile Always!

"Love's Actions"

The enemy cannot read your mind, but he is well versed at reading your actions.

Ever think that the enemy is capable of reading your innermost thoughts? Well, that is a privilege that he is definitely not afforded. But if your body language, words and your initial and subsequent actions are able to be read by that of others, don't be surprised that the enemy is also paying attention to the same.

The importance of continuously demonstrating Love could not prove to be more beneficial, especially knowing that you are being read by the things that you say and or do. No one but God can read our minds, but it is our thoughts that lead to our actions that make it possible to be read out loud and conclusions to be drawn out of the canvas of Life that we lead.

Good thoughts will lead to the same actions. A heart deeply rooted and motivated out of Love will impact everything around you. Do not allow yourself to be or become discouraged with people that might not speak the same language of Love that you do. There will always be different dialects of the same language, hence our need to proactively understand what is being communicated and not reactively responding to what we THINK is being communicated. Therein, those thoughts of Love will undoubtedly prevail because they will not allow you to think or feel contrary to what is already within your heart, irrespective of the dialect being spoken. The language is still that of Love.

It is imperative and absolutely paramount to train yourself to think Love, to be Love, to speak Love and to act Love. Love will not lie to you, but will reinforce the Loving representation that is you. Do not just envision yourself IN Love, but vision yourself WITHIN Love.

And the only thing that will ever dispute those Loving actions will be that of the enemy that is desperately trying to kill those Loving thoughts, steal your Loving energy and destroy the Loving joy that resides deeply within you.

Allow your actions to speak and be that of Love and nothing that would even remotely be contrary to the Love that is within your heart will or shall ever prevail. For Love does not ever lose! Love is undisputed and has a perfect record, the caveat being the training component. Train yourself to push to and through the limits of Love. You won't ever lose, yet you will reap, prosper and gain all of what Love has to offer. But first it must start with the Love in your heart, followed up with your "Love's Actions."

God, "Just Love," and Smile Always!

"Energy of Love"

Can you not Feel, Hear and Smell the Love in the air…
 
He Rose so that you could receive Roses on an occasion such as Valentine's Day!  How can you not marinate on what the possibility of living a Life filled with Love can afford you.  I'm talking about the type of Love that surpasses ALL understanding, the type of Love that forgives even before the act is committed, the type of Love that goes to bed with a Smile on your face because of the Love that exists within your heart.
 
The "Energy of Love" provides you with the type of stamina that you need in order to sustain the weight of Love, which ironically, will never burden you with more than what you are able to handle or capable of carrying.  Love's barometer knows your heart and its sole and soul purpose is to grow your heart way beyond the limited perimeter that you have conditioned yourself to work within.  Love wants to permanently do away with those limited parameters that used to define you, confine you and keep you blinded in.  You will come to know Love better when you start to see Love for what it is, perfect in every way, without your attempt to make over "Love's Perfection." Its direction will keep your heart on track, irrespective of the distractions that want to get you off track.
 
Remember, such as the Love of Christ, Love is sufficient and needs not one iota of input from you outside of your complete and total submission to it!  Worry not about the valleys when you know that the goal of Love is take you higher to Love's peaks.  The appreciation of the valley will be realized as you stand atop of that mountain and the realization that right beneath you exists all of the rubble of your past decisions, mistakes and sin that are now your footstool that prop you up to see beyond what you once did not have the vision in order to see.
 
And while you're perched up there, tell yourself, "I can Feel, Hear and Smell the Love that is in the air."
 
It is the "Energy of Love."
 
Refuse to live your Life without it from this day forward!
 
He Rose so that you could receive Roses on a day such as….Happy Valentine's Day and Smile and Love Always!

God, Love, And Smile Always!

"Bold and Confident Love"

You've established "Love.At.First.Sight," what now? How do you now transfer that acknowledged and confirmed energy into a course of action? Falling in "Love.At.First.Sight" is different than growing in Love. We are so accustomed to getting to know the person and then falling in Love, but I have found that there is a small, big difference in the protocol when it starts with Love.

Do not over think it, just go with it! The only difference is the fact that it started exactly where a groomed Love would have wound up, at Love.

Be Bold, not abrasive in your approach. Our guards have an innate tendency to go up when we are not in our perceived comfort zones. But that does not mean that you are out of bounds, it just means that you are navigating new terrain, which is new to us all, if it is our first time there.

Do not exercise fear thus making it stronger than you! Exercise your belief that there is nothing wrong with the fact that "Love.At.First.Site" could be you! And why not?

If all things are possible, then eradicate the impossibility seed from your Life's Garden of Love. For what we consume is what ultimately nourishes our soul, be it good to us, bad for us, or indifferent of us. We control what we allow in our lives, what we put in our mouths and how it impacts us. Be "Bold and Confident," without a hint of indecisiveness and let no one think for you. YOU, think for you!

Go forth with Love, the benefits of such never fade away, even when they are old and gray. They simply become the example of what Love could be, irrespective of how it came to be.

Your "Bold and Confident Love" will only receive questions from those that would not understand the answer anyway.

Be Bold.
Be Confident.
Be Love.

That "Bold and Confident Love."

God, Love, And Smile Always!

"Love.At.First.Sight"

She graced my presence in passing coupled with a brief glance that reciprocated what my heart felt as my eyes began to communicate with that of hers, and our non-verbal correspondence immediately ensued. All of the words that were not heard were translated from my heart to hers and confirmed from her heart back to mine.

Some relationships take time in order to hear what is being said sans a word emanating from the lips. But when the communication is as divine as the location, the time wasn't nigh, it was right then and there.

Without hesitation, the gravitational pull was as significant to me as centrifugal force is to an object around which it rotates. Love.

Attempting to explain what was previously unexplainable due to the fact that in one's mind, it was not obtainable, until the first experience became a thing of the past and the reincarnation of the once unobtainable was birthed into existence, At.First.Sight.

One's lack of understanding shall never negate the fact that what you feel is totally understandable. Your belief is what is marinated in your heart and your actions are at the direction of that same heart.

Having had my mind transformed to now believe that such an event is PSSBLE, as if it had played out even before it played out, the now tangible is believable because it has been felt in its entirety, thus revealing itself to be a reality.

Aesthetically pleasing need not apply, for what I am referring to is an internal connection that readily identifies when it is in the presence of not just a "like" mind and soul but an "exact" mind, body and soul, that was first demonstrated by the Love of Christ.

For me, and unbeknownst to me at the time to be revealed in God's Glory, those moments were birthed at the very moment that I made the conscious decision to avail myself, mind, body and soul, to something greater than myself, in the form of the ever present presence of God in my Life and the Love that was demonstrated by His Son, for my Life.

The infinite possibilities began to reveal themselves in an instance and the transformation of what was thought to not be possible said that they were everything BUT impossible! The infinite brilliance of the Lord is quite humbling when you become the transformation that you wanted nothing to do with from the onset or ever, for that matter.

Operating outside of Love's parameter's means that you are so far outside of Love's far reaching grasp, that Love's remote existence is only known to you as a remote, remote's, remote existence, in any way, shape or form. You have compelled yourself to believe yourself, only in portrayal, until you come to the conclusion that your actions are nothing short of self betrayal, for ever not accepting the power of "Love.At.First.Sight" and its existence within your world.

Should Love be out on the limb, then that is where your presence should be made known. Be not afraid to venture outside of your comfort zone, out of fear of the unknown. Growth is exactly where you are not. And Love is demonstrative of exactly where you should be.

And on that day, there I was, exactly where I was supposed to be. And on that day, there she was, communicating directly with me.

Is Love not the greatest...

"Love, I've Got Nothing Without You!"

Everything of and in this world is nothing that I can neither take with me, nor will be accepted into the Kingdom, that place in eternity where the tolls for that journey are paid for, right here and right now.

The only thing that I am taking is the Love within my heart, which is the perfect place to which to start. The same Love that shall not ever part from me, that is deeply rooted within the marrow of my bones, marinated in the words that emanate from my lips, and demonstrated in the actions that I initiate, thus compelling the like to continuously gravitate, towards what we know we can never fully understand, but through Faith in the Holy Spirit, can illustrate the prerequisite, of what it means to believe.

Without that same Love, I have and am nothing but a dying flesh that refuses to even die. But refusal is a trick that the enemy convinces the mind that all will be well in absence of Love, so long as it is your Love that is not hurt in the process. What refusal refuses to elaborate is that the process cannot be fulfilled without Love. So, saving yourself from the process does not lengthen your existence, rather it starves what existence you do have within a heart that was designed to consume the organic aspects of a dietary intake composed of Love.

One would not want to enter into the Kingdom vicariously, so do not exist, live and Love in the same manner. Experience the joy of Love at first sight. Believe that such a joy is out there and that it has a non-transferable ticket with your name written on it.

As for me, "Love, I've Got Nothing Without You!"

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Let Me Follow Your Lead"

Pride aside, sometimes we just have to admit that we are lost! And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! It is when we ADMIT, that the Spirit of the Lord facilitates the act and our need to SUBMIT.

There is zero shame in not knowing. It is the stagnancy of the enemy that prohibits us from growing.

We fashion ourselves in a manner that would have others believe that we know what we actually do not know, and that we live in a way that is absolutely contrary to the Truth.

But it is the Truth that should dictate our ways and not our ways that are dictating the Truth! The practice of doing it backwards prohibits us from moving IT and US forward.

I was compelled to resign my ways, being forced to quit. And at that very moment is when the Spirit of the Lord invited me to try His ways, and encouraged me to Submit. It took tendering my resignation in order for me to receive my promotion.

"Lead, follow or get out of the way," they say. Pride and Corey aside, in total and complete Submission, I Submit myself unto Christ, in perfect position, enabling the opportunity to "Let Me Follow Your Lead."

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Perimeter of Truth"

When you live a Life of lies, on the outskirts of the "Perimeter of Truth," you will throw jabs, lies and accusations from afar. But, when you reside WITHIN that "Perimeter of Truth," just like King David, you will stand toe to toe with any foe, because Victory is already yours. "For this battle is not mine," declared King David, "it is the Lord's!"

Do you stand on the outside or WITHIN the "Perimeter of Truth?"

"Get Up!"

You were never meant to remain there prostrated on the threshing floor. At some point in time, it was meant for you to Rise, and "Get Up!"

You see trouble don't last always, for the Love of Christ is the only thing that does or ever will, always. We concede in ALL of our weaknesses and we Rise again in ALL of His Strength! We Rise!

My brokenness has been revealed and healed within Him!
My mistakes have been Forgiven!
My soul has been Redeemed!
I shout, "Let the rebuilding process commence!"

I have risen up off of that threshing floor in spectacular fashion! The enemy did not prevail because my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ does not fail! And To God Be the Magnificent Glory for not authoring the epitaph to my story!

Rise up and "Get Up," while you still have a story to be told!

"Your Vision is Your Vision"

They are not necessarily supposed to see what has been deposited within you. Their level of clarity into your Blessing usually occurs at the fruition of such. Then there are those that do have the innate ability to see either what you have yet to see or what others are unable to see. Therefore, it is extremely imperative to not lean on the understanding of what others do not understand, and for that matter, what you do not understand. Vision has a way of being accompanied by fruition, unless of course you are not bound by your sight alone.

Your circle should not contain squares, that will ultimately never fit into your Vision. Rather let the other things take shape on their own, thus leaving your Vision alone, so that it can be birthed into existence.

Surrounding yourself with more does not equate to having more of what you think that you will need. If it has been deposited within you, understand that you have been equipped with all that you will ever need.

Seek within for what is already there!
For no other parts can ADD to what Christ has already made WHOLE. If the parts are not fitting, return to the Source for clarity and direction with respect to your Vision. The substitute for the origins of your Vision are non-existent. He is, therefore you cannot replace the "Great I Am."

What He has given you, is just for you!

"Your Vision is Your Vision."

Smile and have a wonderfully Blessed day!

"God Has Already Forgiven Me, So Why Am I Trippin'?"

Whenever change has made its presence known you will always have those that are all too willing to remind you of how things were prior to your change. That is nothing more than an infiltration of the manifestation of the presence of change in your Life, that is doing its best rendition of trying to make "history repeat itself."

If you are not careful, you will wind up reliving your past mistakes and regrets, allowing those past feelings to creep back into your Life, pulling off a great caper of your happiness and joy, even though you have effectively moved on from those mistakes and regrets.

You will then start to re-punish yourself for the things that you have already been Forgiven for. Your thoughts, your mood, your habits, and your actions will all present themselves in the same shadows of the past that you have already overcome.

The Victory of Christ means that we cannot lose! That defeated mentality will not garner you another victory in lieu of the Victory that you are already in receipt of. We need not another, when Christ already has it covered!

Encourage yourself by reminding yourself that you have already been Forgiven! We ALL make mistakes and will continue to do so. Do not beat yourself up over your mistakes. Trust that you are not alone when it comes to making them. And if someone has a problem with your ability to move on from your past, then grant yourself permission to move on from them! You do not need their dirty reminders when God has already wiped your slate clean. The Blessing will always be within the lesson.

So, when those reminders come your way, and they will, proclaim it out loud, "God Has Already Forgiven Me, So Why Am I Trippin'?"

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Rise Again in Your Strength!"

Perched

I lay down in my weakness, and in accordance to Your Will Lord, I WILL "Rise Again in Your Strength!"

My faults and weaknesses have died a violent death, perpetrated by the perpetrator of my faults and weaknesses, most of which the acknowledgment of their existence, fell upon my own deaf ears.

But, because of You Lord, I can hear again.

My ways, even though some were good, were not necessarily in accordance to Your Will Lord, and my admission of them is my concession for them, as I relinquish all of them, unto You.

But, because of You Lord, my Life's breath has been extended in spite of, so that I may correct them, and get it right the first time, this second time around.

Your Grace for giving me what I do NOT deserve and Your Mercy for not giving me what I DO deserve. I am humbled!

You removed the Love of my Life, in order to compel me to straighten up my Life, so that you may bestow upon me the Blessings and Purpose for my Life. The humility through "Continuous Reconciliation" continues.

I acknowledge all of my faults and weaknesses and stand at attention in complete awe of Your Holiness, that You would look beyond my selfish desires, scraped me up off of the ground, perched me up, so that I may soar again, at altitudes much higher.

My mind was weak all on its own. But the strength of that mind has been renewed, as I am THAT of Your own.

I shall refrain from casting the blame, unless the reflection resembles that of the same.

I give myself away, only to You Lord, until You see fit.

For, I lay down in my weakness, and in accordance to Your Will Lord, I WILL, "Rise Again in Your Strength!"

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"800!!!"

Keep it 100? Well, this is "800!!!"

And,
To God Be the Glory!!!
To God Be the Awesome Glory!!!
To God Be the Merciful Glory!!!
To God Be the Loving Glory!!!
To God Be the MAGNIFICENT GLORY!!!

Healing and restoration have every place in every situation! The sun will indeed shine again, just as the Son indeed rose again. May your happiness be restored as you elevate yourself up off of the threshing floor, having renewed your strength by way of conceding to your weaknesses, outside of His Holy presence.

Forgive so that you may live!
Die so that you may gain!
Heal so that you may feel!
Laugh so that it doesn't hurt!
Smile when you know that it does!
Position yourself in order to receive your Spiritual wealth!
Spend the Heavenly inheritance of your Blessings, wisely!

What we go through, is also what we grow through! Perpetual customized grooming with tailor-made specifications for a Purpose and its Blessings, that only "suits" me. That only "suits" you. The non-transferability aspect of what is for me by way of the Father, confirms that He indeed has a plan for my Life, IRRESPECTIVE of what is going on around me, IRRESPECTIVE of what I feel within me, and IRRESPECTIVE of what I believe about me. The Father, has a plan, FOR ME!

The pruning process of Christ will expose those surroundings, change those feelings and restore our beliefs, as soon as we submit ourselves unto Christ, since He is already aware of our measurements. His familiarity with our size is well known to Him, for He has been watching us carry around burdens for as long as we can remember, all of which we should have relinquished in equitable fashion, according to Him, which means no less than 100%.

I have heard said that, "when you have had something "made," that "fits" you, you will never buy off of the rack again." In the literal sense, all of us may not be able to afford to do that, but in the Spiritual realm, ALL of us can afford and are quite capable of not buying off of the "Rack of Life" that MISrepresents by way of: failure, greed, lust, drugs, alcohol, lies, untruths, deception, deflection, denial, verbal abuse, physical abuse, and ANYTHING that falls under the umbrella that is "contrary to the Love of Christ."

It is Christ that is tailor-made JUST FOR US! I encourage and implore you to seek out your Spiritual Tailor and from this day forth, to never buy from the "Rack of Life" again!

100? Nah, Jesus is GREATER than that! This is "800!!!"

Thank You Jesus!!!

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Divine Passport"

DF: 21

With an unparalleled clarity, an unprecedented focus, a dash of unwavering Faith, an impeccable sense of determined accomplishment, layers upon layers of motivation, free of irreparable stagnation, unambiguous resolve, justifiable homicide of all of my goals that were never aligned with the Will of the Father, resuscitation of all of my goals that are aligned with the Will of the Father, an immaculate sense of cleanliness, the ever-present presence of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, His unmitigated plan of perfection that needs no back-up, my belief in His plan in that it knows ALL that is BEST for me, my submittal to something greater than, that knows better than, the likes of me, forever committed to, because of You and what You have seen and brought me through, IN COMPLETE SUBMISSION!

Corey's travels during his Lifetime have taken him both far and wide. But the travels of the Will of the Father shall take him beyond the fathomable boundaries that can be accommodated with a regular passport.

Therefore, I surrender my US Passport, for where Christ is taking me, it would not have garnered me the type of access that my "Divine Passport" has proactively granted me.

There I was.
Here I am.
Away I go.

With my "Divine Passport," as my Heavenly escort, taking me absolutely everywhere, that the Father already knows.

Thank you DF (Daniel Fast), for handing over the keys to my wretched past. By way of gutt-wrenching change, Spiritual inoculation, and a complete cleanse of all that was formally unclean, the DF has discarded those keys, that belonged to a past, that no longer represents me.

The Will requires change, in particularly the type, for all of the reasons, that you probably don't even know about.

I shall continue to prostrate myself to You in all of my weakness, awaiting your Will that compels me to rise again, in all of Your strength!

The documentation of all of my situations have been stamped in my mind and on my heart, within my "Divine Passport" on this amazing new start.

To God Be the Loving Glory!!!

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Love Calling"

DF: 20

We have a tendency to be pretty particular about whom we communicate with. That open door policy is only applicable in the office and outside of normal business hours no one is the boss of us, except us!

Funny how that works when we seemingly pick and choose who and what communicates with us, so long as it fits within our predetermined availability.

But predetermined should not define one's availability in order to prevent unavailability from robbing us of the Blessings that can be found WITHIN availability. For it is not just an incident, rather it becomes a practice that we perfect every time we make the conscious decision to avail ourselves when we are being called upon.

We should avail our hearts to receive, a practice that we can perfect so that when we do receive, it is with an abundance of gratefulness, irrespective of what's calling. Who's calling you is another thing, but WHAT is calling you is THE thing. Practice the "Who's" so that you can recognize and receive the "What's."

My caller ID may identify who is calling, but the Christ within me, by way of reminders of the Holy Spirit, inform me what is calling.

As Christ resides within me, my ears hear, my soul feels, my nose smells, my palate is cleansed in order to taste, and now the Vision of Christ is abundantly crystal clear by way of my availability. My WHAT, is "Love Calling."

To God Be the Loving Glory!!!

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Your Moment"

DF:19

We spend a Lifetime searching for and trying to create THAT moment. The problem with THAT moment is the fact that THAT moment is usually a singular event that we are biding our time, waiting for and in search of.

The colossal mistake that we are making is in selling ourselves entirely too short in believing that our lives are all about a singular event in time. As IF, that is all that Christ can, is capable of, and willing to do within our lives. How wrong we are to place limitations on ourselves! How naïve to place limitations on what Christ can, is capable of, and more than willing to do for the very ones that acknowledge Him as the Savior that He is.

Your Life is a giant collage of singular moments that will illustrate the masterpiece that the artistry of Christ has produced. The human appreciation is usually at the confirmation that something has actually been done. But the supernatural of the Holy Spirit allows us to acknowledge, through Faith, what is being done, irrespective of our ability to see or understand the completion of His work.

Oft times the work of an artist is left up to the interpretation of the viewing audience. The miraculous and intentional work of Christ requires no interpretation. For even the formerly blind can name and claim the wondrous works of our Lord and Savior.

Stop looking for "Your Moment" in time, and create your collage of moments each and every time. The only limitations in Christ are relative to "your" belief in what He can do.

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Love Me, Don't Judge Me"

DF: 18

The sins that I have committed are the sins that I have owned. The days of transferring ownership of my sins are behind me. I am ultimately responsible for me. For no one else can own your transgressions, except the transgressor.

Ownership can be a beautiful thing. Whether it is a building, a home, a car, an action, a sin, your Love or "Continuous Reconciliation." The beauty of ownership is that it starts and ends with you!

Love Me:
Own what you do!
Own what you say!
Own who you are!

Don't Judge Me:
Disown what you did!
Disown what you said!
Disown who you were!

Walk around and drive towards the sound of Ownership! Hear the Words of Christ and know that what you did, what you said and who you were, ALL paid for at Cavalry! Your past was PAID for before the birth of your sins and the execution of your transgressions....out of Love, that of Christ!

Therefore, "Love Me, Don't Judge Me."

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Relationship Revelation"

DF: 17

The common denominator was the need to fix what was perceived to be or actually broken. Perhaps it was the culture that birthed the need to continuously "fix." Maybe it was the need to be needed in the event that something needed to be fixed. No matter how you parse the data relative to the information that seemed to dictate the course of the relationship, the importance of your role is too critical to do nothing and not urgent enough to do everything. Balance.

If there are other elevators coming, there is no need for you to hold the elevator that you are on until it is at capacity. That is not your role. I used to do that amongst other things in an attempt to be everything to everyone, or so I thought. Balance.

One cannot solve all of the problems that they are confronted with, even though they might think that their energy level has the bandwidth to tackle it all, be it great or small. Balance.

The success of your relationship is not contingent upon all that you do out of your innate necessity to fix. For sometimes the things that need to be fixed do not have your name affixed to them. The resolution does not always mean that you are the one to provide the solution. Balance.

That common denominator, was me.

The culture of "fixing," was mine.

The need to fix was "my" need, not an actual need, and therein was where the relationship first started to bleed.

Sometimes the things that need to be fixed do not have your name affixed to them. The resolution does not always mean that it is YOU that will provide the solution. Balance.

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Had I Not Gone"

DF: 16

Thank You Father: "Had I Not Gone."

Thank You Jesus: "Had I Not Gone."

Thank You Holy Spirit: "Had I Not Gone."

"Had I Not Gone" from my starting point to my right now point, I would have been as sharp as the most rounded butter knife in my drawer, for only "Iron Sharpens Iron" (Proverbs 27:17).

The understanding of why I needed to go was outweighed by the physical action of actually going. And there I was, glad to have gone where Corey was not initially going to go, but felt compelled to do the exact opposite, having been led, instead of doing it my way.

Go! "No one can represent you better than you!"

Since I went, "Had I Not Gone," well, we'll never know.

Always follow the lead of your Holy Spirit! You'll never regret where it takes you, for it knows BETTER than you the opportunity that it affords you, to BEST represent you!

Now GO!

God, Love, and Smile Always!
Corey A. Ford

"Hurting Too"

DF: 15

When people lash out and attack you, Pray for Christ to deliver them from their pain, for it has nothing to do with you. They want you to hurt, because they are "Hurting Too." Pray!

God, Love, and Smile Always!
Corey A. Ford

"Undone"

DF: 14

For all of my Life I have "done" whatever needs to be "done," for all whom needed it "done." Throughout all of my Life experiences, I have built a solution-oriented infrastructure that was designed to fill voids where voids needed to be filled and to be the supplier of a need wherever there was a need to be supplied. But unbeknownst to me and in my admitted ignorant state, it was never meant for me to sustain that infrastructure for my entire Life, but just the season that it was to be.

Subsequently, I developed a culture of "Making It Happen" and essentially that would later become my nickname, one in which I took great pride in. But the nickname that was given to me was never meant to be replaced by the name that Jesus first gave me: "Corey," His Son. Therein was the conflict that I new nothing about. In my mind, I was doing "good work." But good work does not necessarily equate to doing "God's Work."

You see, man does not comprehend the calamity of his mistakes, until after he has already made them.

The mistake that I made was not in doing or being there for others, but not taking and relinquishing my burdens at the feet of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The infrastructure that was designed was not meant to sustain anything for a Lifetime, sans the Grace and Mercy of Christ. It had its seasonal purpose that was not meant to extend into another season, over additional months, culminating into years of "Making It Happen."

Being so focused on "Corey Making It Happen" robbed me of my focus on Jesus Christ, so that "He could Make It Happen." Giving Jesus my undivided attention was paramount and I was too wrapped up and distracted from what I should have been doing, as opposed to working within the Vision that God called me to be and operate in. What I was doing was "mission-minded," but within the Vision is where you ultimately "find it." The mission is what you do, and the Vision is what you become.

Inadvertent disobedience made itself a relevant fixture. But, Thank You Jesus for the Revelation of my situation, so that You can remove all of the old and make me brand spanking new. Your Grace and Mercy have found its way into the solution, forever altering the quality of the air that I breathe in the midst of all of the pollution. But a breath!

I have since deconstructed that infrastructure and its subsequent demise is "done." And now I will rely 100% on my Faith in Christ, the solution to ALL things and problems, wherein the battle is His, and Victory has already been Won!

Whatever I have "done," in Corey, from this day forth, has been "Undone" for Glory, so that Christ may "Do," and receive it ALL!

I prostrate myself to You in weakness and rise again in Your Strength!

To God Be the Magnificent Glory!

God, Love, and Smile Always!

"Tread the Waters of Something New"

DF: 13

If I am to be totally honest in my "Transparent Existence," I have been guilty of fracturing a couple of friendships along the way, in my Life. I have allowed new friendships to hijack old friendships, neglecting the balance that they are both entitled to. Have you ever just fallen off of the radar to the point where a blip would be considered a gross exaggeration? I know that I have!

True Friendships are worthy of your attention and deserve the best that you have to offer them. We should revere them and hold them in the highest regard for they are a privilege and not a right, especially after we have left them, for whatever reason.

If we are to be completely honest with ourselves, from time to time we drift or allow ourselves to "Tread the Waters of Something New." Not in lieu of, but to see what it has to offer us and if that something is both palatable and compatible.

Relationships usually catch us up in their rip currents and before we are even able to blink an eye, we are continuously pulled back out, even after we are ready to come back in.

Life is all about striking a balance and being there for one another, irrespective of the distance that we have drifted apart. It is never too late to swim back to the reality of your beach, to the shores where each grain of sand means something to you, and represents a part of who and what you are.

In the process of discovering "new," do not lose sight of the "old." The new broom might indeed sweep better, but it is the old broom that knows the corners.

Smile and have a wonderfully Blessed day!

God, Love, and Smile Always!
Corey A. Ford

"Transparent Existence"

DF: 12

Are you the same person privately that you are publicly? Is your heart as compassionate when no one knows of your good deeds, as it is when everyone knows of your good deeds? Do you only display PDA within the confines and four walls of your own home? Do you Love without boundaries and borders as you advertise as a single person, when you are single no more? Do you Love unconditionally until the conditions are outside of your comfort zone, thus compelling you to re-engage your fear and to start Loving conditionally again?

I ask, "What type of existence do you live?"

Of course we all have things that we do not desire the general public to know about, but generally speaking, do you live a Life that is free of hang-ups that need to be hung up for the very last time? Or do you find yourself living a liberated Life, free of perpetual bondage, draining baggage, habitual self-inflictions, self-imposed problems and residual issues?

I have found that the boldest existence is that of a "Transparent Existence." When your Life is free and clear, no one can bare false witness to a Life that is living in the Truth, which is that of Christ. When you live as such, you have the understanding and wherewithal that no one can judge you since He alone serves as the judge and jury. And His Grace and Mercy provides us with what we not deserve and does not allow us to get what we actually DO deserve.

Therefore, my existence shall forever be transparent in its complete entirety, not partially. You can no longer surprise, since I have already taken the necessary measures to inform.

The malicious existence of the intentions of the evil will always be cloudy in their presentation and finger pointing. And you will NEVER see them in a transparent state themselves, perhaps the red flag that you need in order to make an informed decision about the role that they play in your Life. But bold is the Truth that dares to present itself on full display, for it knows what it truly is and who it truly belongs to, irrespective of the cloudy finger pointing.

A "Transparent Existence" will not concern itself with the hidden agendas that hide the evildoers, thus exposing them for who and what they truly are.

Dare to live your Life in complete transparency and be bold enough to embrace the Peace that it affords you. Safeguard your existence by DECLARING your existence in all capacities. Disarm the enemy by equipping and arming your Loved ones.

For they will never be able to tell, what you have already told. Love will never be questioned, if it is all that you ever show.

God, Love, and Smile Always!
Corey A. Ford

"Everlasting Joy!"

DF: 11

My commitment to joy is only comparable to the joy that exists within me. Whatever should come your way, do not allow it to "kill, steal or destroy" your joy.

The temporal existence of problems and issues only last as long as we choose to hold onto them. I say choose because whether or not you realize it or not, it is indeed a choice.

Do not worry yourself about something that you do not and cannot control. You manage what you can, and leave the rest at the Savior's feet.

We are not worthy of His Grace, but along with His Grace, there is His Mercy, that permits us to receive His Grace, even though we are deserving of everything BUT, His Grace.

If that Revelation does not spark or ignite an "Everlasting Joy" within one's soul, then it might be necessary to check their pulse, to see if there is one.

The Promise of Christ creates an "Everlasting Joy," that shall always suffice, in the midst of ALL the chaos and the noise.

Be encouraged in your "Everlasting Joy!"

God, Love, and Smile Always!
Corey A. Ford

"I Love Being Your Daughter"

DF: 10

Many people will say many things about "who you are" and "who you are not." They will talk about "what you are" and "what you are not." But whatever is said about you is none of your business. And it matters NOT, when the Truth about you is spoken from the mouth of a child.

Victory and not defeat is what Jesus has in store for me (Psalm 8:2). Out of the mouths of children are authored the concession speeches of the enemies and avengers. I shall not repay their evil with evil (Romans 12:17), for vengeance is not mine, but that of His.

Jesus knows what you need, at the exact moment that you need it. And out of her mouth, she exclaimed to me: "I Love Being Your Daughter."

She knew not, but Jesus did. Those five words quelled the nonsense right on the spot, as Jesus purposed them to do. Put it BACK into perspective, irrespective of WHAT they say or do. "I Love Being Your Daughter." And Daddy Loves being your Father too!

God, Love, and Smile Always!
Corey A. Ford

"I'M GONE!"

DF: 9

"I just had it out with my past! Without breaking my stride, I glanced back for what was the LAST time, before chucking up the deuces, and telling my past: "I'M GONE!""

Corey A. Ford

"Relinquished Strongholds"

DF: 8

Most of which holds us back can be found within our own thought process. An action or a seed that was initially planted and never uprooted winds up growing into a huge stronghold, resembling the appearance of a great redwood tree.

Over time we nourish that seed until it flourishes into our need; even though it is the LAST thing THAT we need.

The appearance of our bondage is not necessarily visible to the naked eye. We dress our reality in garments that rival those of Fashion Week, hoping to garner strength that only disguises the fact that we are weak.

The strongholds of these redwoods are relative to whatever you struggle with on a daily basis. Any type of addiction, depression, self-loathing, anger, confusion, darkness or ambiguity, all pose risks to our continued sanity.

May we relinquish that which holds us back!

May we relinquish and break free from our internal slavery.

May we maximize and not minimize our worth by not equating it with sex.

May we relinquish all of the strong holds that are holding us back, blocking our Blessings and doing their best to destroy us by tearing us apart, one stitching at a time, over the long period of time that we refuse to address them.

May we never tire from removing the "Relinquished Strongholds" from our lives, so that we may finally begin to live!

God, Love, and Smile Always!
Corey A. Ford

"Continuous Reconciliation"

DF: 7

When we repent of our sins, Jesus wipes our slate clean of that sin and we are Forgiven. Forever works in progress we are, the example of Christ is often imitated, but never duplicated, for the Forgiveness process of the flesh is much more intense, involved and detailed.

The compassionate heart of Christ compels His own actions that were dictated by His own Words.

I Pray for a like-compassionate heart like that of Christ, to compel my actions that will also be dictated by His Words.

I Pray that what I SEE, never blurs the Vision that is to BE.

To God Be the Magnificent Glory!

The Vision of Reconciliation starts within the heart, and its outward expression is for the vision-impaired, so that they might "see."

And if the Vision is visible within your greater calling, it is incumbent upon you to be the demonstration for "Continuous Reconciliation."

God, Love, and Smile Always!
Corey A. Ford

"Honorable Humility"

DF: 6

"To live a Life that would compel even my enemies to celebrate me..."

...but it is not the me that I am referring to, rather it is the humility within me that shall speak to the very enemies that will celebrate me. And not because of anything that I have ever done, but it will be due to the "Honorable Humility" that will be exemplified in every victory that is ever won!

To honorably humble myself so that I may be obedient, thus minimizing my own, while accumulating the Lord's vast Spiritual wealth.

The subtraction of me, creates the vacancy within me, that the Lord will then see and utilize in addition to my gratitude, by way of my availability, to Him.

May the humility always present itself no less than honorably. May the celebration be no greater than the humility. For the vicarious nature of the glory, shall never preclude the ultimate destination of His glory, that is to be to God and to God alone.

"To live a Life that would compel even my enemies to celebrate me..."

...by way of "Honorable Humility."

God, Love, and Smile Always!
Corey A. Ford

"Knowledgeable Mind"

DF: 5

May the silence of my voice, enhance the hearing of my ears.

May what I will learn, supersede all that I have learned, thus far.

May my untrained mind, be Righteously trained to complete the Will of the Most High God.

May my former mistakes be acknowledged in the current state, and corrected in my future actions, to not ever repeat again.

May the transformation of my mind, only be preceded by the elevation of a Spiritual articulation, void of any procrastination that would even faintly hinder or erroneously promote a situation in which the expansion of knowledge is strictly confined to that of another mind, as opposed to that of mine, a better, more "Knowledgeable Mind."

God, Love, and Smile Always!
Corey A. Ford

"Fearless Spirit"

DF: 4

The beginning of so many great stories: "Once upon a time..."

...I would have talked myself out of doing something for fear of what I thought the outcome was going to be in my mind. I no longer wonder how many of those times I would have actually been wrong in my immature logical assessment.

Water under the bridge, but thank God that water is no longer stagnant in fear of the infinite possibilities that exist when fear is permanently extracted, subtracted, and eradicated from ALL of Life's promises, to you.

That body of water is now ever-flowing under the Divine direction of my Heavenly's selection. The rip currents of Life may have me swimming parallel to the beach, but I know that I shall not soon tire and will not be consumed out of fear.

God does not grant us the Spirit of fear, so it is incumbent upon us to remind ourselves that fear looks, sounds, feels, tastes, smells and acts like the enemy of the Heavenly.

Sometimes we allow what we do not know to tell us what we should know, even though we are not sure of what it is that we do not know. Fear! But the only relevant fear is that of the Lord, our most High God, which is the beginning of our Wisdom.

Confusion, not God!
Ambiguity, not God!
Chaos, not God!
Scattered, not God!
Cluttered, not God!
Fear, DEFINITELY not God!

The Will of the Father will never lead us down a path that is contrary to the Will of the Father.

There will be no confusion!
There will be no ambiguity!
There will be no chaos!
You will not be scattered!
Clutter-free will be your journey!
And fear can no longer ride shotgun!

Lord, deposit within me a mindset that is void of fear and anything that is contrary to what is pleasing to You. I submit myself unto Thee, free of everything that is even remotely relative or related to fear. I permanently remove what used to bind my mind, what stunted my physical and Spiritual growth, thus hindering me from being closer to Thee. I relinquish it ALL, for now I am free in my "Fearless Spirit" to worship Thee in ALL that I do, in ALL that I say and in ALL that I am. In Jesus' Precious Name. Amen!

God, Love, and Smile Always!
Corey A. Ford
