Real Friends

Question that was posed on the radio recently that got me the thinking...

Since male friendships are different from female friends...so...Do your friends drop off when you get saved?

My thoughts on the question friends are very special to me. When I call you friend that means just that and will treat you as such. And why me being a Christian should stop the friendship. I will not beat you over the head with God this or God that no not at all but with that said if you ask a question about God I'll answer. Or if they ask for prayer then I'm going to pray for them well actually I pray for them regardless.

But true friends I believe will stay if you're saved or not. In my 20 some odd years on Earth I've had friends but my true friends have stayed by my side. Of course, some have left for reasons known to God but to those brothers of mine thank you for being there for me. And I love you just I know they love me.

Peace

this morning i got some rather unsettling news about my cousin...i could tell this wasn't going to be good news at all...i thought and i was praying that everything was going to be alright...ever since i found out that she was having a baby i was so excited not only for her but for me cuz then i would have had the chance to influence the next generation just like she had with me...i knew something had to be up since last friday i buried my uncle and something just didnt feel right. now many people would flip out, lose their minds or just cuss God out. but not right now cuz it wont do anything since it wont bring that little life back. even though my heart hurts for my cousin and her husband i havent lost my mind, i havent cussed out God nor did i flip out on God either. as it says in Psalms 30 verse 5 that "weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning" and i know that in time the pain will pass and be glad for her health and well-being.

A lot can happen in a month!!

A lot can sure happen in a month! I mean Twitter has exploded to the biggest out there. I don't get it myself telling people every five seconds what your doing. Now, there's nothing wrong with that but its not for me. Even though I do have a Twitter account, I find that really weird lol. In college basketball news, Villinova is in the Final Four...Go Wildcats!!! Ummm, people are still looking for jobs and President Obama is doing his best. Some people are ready to jump on the ship of hating on him but those of us that know who's truly in control and it aint the president or congress or the senate or whoever. It's still has been and forever will be God. I mean how can we put faith in people when God is right there with open arms saying I'm here too. I mean is it because we can't see God is that why we turn our back on him or don't ask Him for help. In a months time things changed rather quickly and as usual people seem to have forgotten about God who is still in the mix.

Valentine's Day who needs it !?!

Valentine's Day is upon us once again. It's ashame how we put so much effort in telling and showing and showering the one we love on that day. Myself I don't...I just don't know what to do once again I'm alone (well I'm be alone) on Valentine's Day. How can this be? But I can't just can't get so upset with everybody else with the one they love. It's really hard not to be cynic about love or that straight up hater of everyone since they got somebody. I mean I had two chances at least being with someone but either it wasn't meant to be or while my back was turned somebody else came in and scoped them up. Leaving me holding the bag like that dumb robber after his friends get away from the bank heist. Where's my love for Valentine's Day and I ain't talking about the girls who are my friends and even some of them I like well one...nah I don't wanna say but...anywho I guess I'm tired of being by myself for Valentine's Day. Where's that girl who will engage my mind, who likes to hang out in the mall even though we might window shop, where's that girl who doesn't mind talking about God and then sharing it with me, where's that girl who seeks God on her own despite the faults she has, where's that girl who accepting of my faults and not use them as an excuse to not wanna be with me, where's that girl that I can talk on the phone with and know for a fact that I am enjoying that conversation with her, where's that girl that I forward to...etc. Enough of my ranting but let us all of us celebrate and show not just on Feburary 14th love but the other 364 days and for those who don't have anybody spend it with someone you care about.

What is the Difference between physical and personal (spiritual) storms?

What is the Difference between physical and personal (spiritual) storms?

There are many differences between the two kinds of storms. First, the physical storm can be see and then related to something that happens to the body. For example, an illness that might not go away in a few days but it is constant and is consistent. And God allows you to go through the physical storm to see if you will rely on Him and only Him in that time of that storm. Also, it might be a physical storm that more than one person goes through and again for example a mother and a son might go through some similar illness because God is testing the both of them maybe to see who they will turn to God or man. And finally, the personal (spiritual) storm can be seen as something strictly personal and that you maybe the only one going through it. But again it is a test to see where your faith is and that is either in man or God. The personal storm is mostly to try your faith and patience with God. For example, if a person who has had a terrible past and now in the future they have a choice of either going down the path of God or not. Then you might choose the path of not doing God’s will. Because at some point you’ll pray and pray to God take this away from me and then God turns around and says that you need to wait. But both storms in reality hinge upon who’s trust you’re going for is it God’s or man’s.

FRIENDSHIP

FRIENDSHIP

What does it mean to you? I mean really what does it all entail. Friendship shouldn’t be that hard for anyone to do, right? I mean two people whether they be the same gender or different gender or the same race or different race should be able to be friends. Hang out whenever they wanted too, spend time with each other and just have great times with each other. Friendship shouldn’t be this hard. And if it isn’t hard then why is it difficult to do and maintain then. Yes, sometimes friendships change do to that friend moving away to another state or that friend is married now or in that committed relationship. But what about the friend that’s right there in the same city and not in the committed relationship why in the world they just up and decide that they wanna stop talking. Maybe Tyler Perry was right maybe we do put lifetime expectations on people who are there in our lives for a season. Maybe the friendship has to end because both the friends have gotten what it is that needed to get out of it. Or maybe the friendship was based on something that neither one of them knew nothing about or wanted to talk about. How in the world is it that hard for two people to become and stay friends.

Peace

Words

Words

We have that saying that sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. That was fine for little cute kids while they are young enough to be friends with anyone. But now we all are a lot older than that and lets be really, raw and honest here. Words do and can hurt you there are people out there in the world who go to sleep and wake up thinking of new different ways of hurting someone with their words. Now, some people call it telling it like is. That’s all good and I endorse that brand of thinking but if you doing it because you don’t like the idea they have or whatever the case maybe you’ll lash out at them with the first thing that pops into your head. Don’t you all know that sometimes “shoot straight from the hip” words hurt. And please don’t get me wrong I know that sometimes you need to be snapped back into reality with “tough love” but not when the weight of the world is on someone’s shoulders. Words can and do hurt us (and us refers to everybody) either they be Christian or not or believer or not words hurt. But hey if you want to take time out of your day to say whatever you want to say then so be it. All I want to say is that we have to watch our words because we don’t how they will affect the person in the end. Even Christians and believers should be watching what we are saying to someone. Regardless if we are having a bad day or not just choose our words carefully. And not let our personal judgments come into play when talking to someone who is not doing the right things of God. Who knows your words can probably win them to Christ where the preacher, minister or pastor couldn’t get through. Yes, stick and stones will break your bones but so will the words that people say.

Thank you and God bless

The tongue is a pretty powerful thing

The tongue is a pretty powerful thing. From a scientific stand point it aids in digestion. Helps us tell the difference in bitter, sweet and salty foods. Hey it even helps get food out of our teeth sometimes. Okay now being real with those who would say that the tongue gives you immense pleasure. But getting back to reality the tongue can cause laughter and sadness in a person's life. A person can tell the world's funniest jokes that would have every single one cracking up and rolling on the floors. The tongue can help a person give some comfort in times of sorrow and loss. For instance, a friend's family dies the words spoken during that time to the friend will help ease the pain from the death.
However, the tongue can do another thing as well. And when we look at it from a Christian or biblical standpoint we see that it takes on a whole new meaning. The tongue can build someone up and also tear them down just as fast as they were built up. Encouragement can be brought forth from a person's tongue. For example, saying to someone that they can get through their struggle or they can accomplish their goals in life. Those are good things to hear from someone. That encouragement will give you the strength to do what is necessary. Oh my goodness the power that this little thing has is truly amazing. It boggles the mind at the sheer thought that this tongue of ours can pick up someone's spirit in a matter of seconds. Just like that a person can be healed and delivered from the test or trial. But not every single person on this earth uses their tongue for good some use it for the extent and purposes to destroy someone's life. Literally the tongue can kill someone. For instance, if something is said on the lines of I wish you was dead. Now, the person it was said about probably won't die right then and there but those words have placed a sickness in that person's life that might lead to their death.
Or another example is that "great" thing called gossip. That's right gossip that thing people do when they are jealous of someone else or do it to hurt the person they are talking about so they spread rumors and lies. Those rumors and lies are not even remotely true of the person that they are being spoken about. I mean why else spread it if you know it isn't the truth. A lot of people have been deeply and profoundly hurt by rumors that it can break a person's heart just thinking about it. Now, the worst offenders of gossip are people who are Christians, I mean I read the Bible and say my prayers every day, the Lord is the strength of my life, Christians. Yeah, that's right those people who are on the choir stand, on the various boards of the church, on the many auxiliaries and in the congregation. These people watch and wait for someone to mess up and then the claws come out and get in their little cliques or even wait to they get home and get on that phone and tell someone about what so and so had done. And of course, that rumor that is spread gets back to the person and is very hurt by it. Now, if we are all Christians and we are lights to the sin drenched world then why are we adhering to the book of Psalms where it says in Psalm 34:13 "Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile." Now, that means don't talk about anybody and spread unfounded rumors about them like Sister so-so is this way or Brother so-so is that way. Do you know my gossiping brothers and sisters that you are speaking something into that other person's life? Like a spirit sent by the enemy to destroy them all because you don't like them for whatever reason. Why can't we be like the Psalmist who wrote in Psalm 35:28 "And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long." We should be doing more of that right there and not finding new ways of tearing each other down. And if you're one of those people who are a "gossip-hound" then you need to seriously take a hard look at yourself. But more importantly have a serious talk with God and let him deal with the way you feel about your brothers and sisters in Christ. And remember the words of 1 John 3:18 "My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth." Be blessed my brothers and sisters.

Struggling and finding a way out

I would like to say that this blog/commentary is very, very personal and I had fought with myself over and over again in posting it. But after talking to the Lord about it he let me know that it’s not about me and what people are going to say but helping someone else.
Here we go…we have an enemy in our lives who seeks us out like a lion waiting and ready to pick us off. He tempts us with many things that some of us give into while others don’t give into that particular temptation but you might fall into another kind of temptation. Temptation isn’t easy at all to go through you have to be willing to listen to that voice when at first glance isn’t bad because it sounds like a calm sea breeze to you. But in reality it isn’t at all it’s a voice that only tells you what you what you want to hear. Now, you only really hear this voice when everything goes wrong like for instance when the bills are due or someone has died or someone has left you or you get a shock to your system. And then you feel like God has left as well so you become susceptible to that voice.
Now, I believe we have to get out of this mindset that he looks and sounds like what people have said what he looks like. He doesn’t look like anything like the guy with horns on his head complete with pitchfork. He comes to you as an angel of light complete with the "truth" and "good news". You fight it at first because you know that’s not the voice that you normally hear. This voice is suggesting things but they have the nerve to sound good so it makes you listen more. But little did you and I know that the more you listen the more you feel something but you can’t tell what it is. So, as time goes on the voice starts saying things about you that second glance later on you realized it was saying things that put doubt in your mind. This voice will cause your mind to say and do things that seem like the right but later on you regret.
I myself have been tempted by that voice from the enemy. He came to me and said something at the time seemed like the "truth". As a result, I gave into the temptation and it felt good to me. But like not reading the about the medicine I’m taking there were side effects that put me in a haze and a daze. The most devastating side effect led me to doubt and question everything from God loving me to questioning myself. And that questioning of myself almost totally lead me to thinking and then revealing something that was not true about me. The questioning of myself I’m referring to is the spirit/sin of homosexuality and I had struggled with it for ten years. And in that struggle I thought I felt happy but in reality I wasn’t by any means. In some respect I was more alone and cut off from the Lord. But the whole reason I was in the temptation so that I wouldn’t feel alone. And boy was I alone or at least I felt alone but I can tell you this that I was never really alone. God was there I for some reason thought he wasn’t but he didn’t leave me at all just waiting got me to call on him. Just waiting for me to call Jesus, Jesus, Jesus then he did give me that peace that I thought was gone. And recently I once again I called out the Lord’s name for help and guess what he provided it for me. I am so thankful for that help because I was trying to do and go through alone and by myself. But every time I went at it alone I fell flat on my face and later on when the Lord worked it out he would say that I shouldn’t try and go through alone. The Lord was right I needed to call, rely and trust on my friends. And right now I would like to apologize to you for not calling, relying and trusting you so that I wouldn’t feel alone.
The Lord is so good because on Tuesday March 18th 2008 was a changing moment in my life because the Lord healed my mind and soul (Hallelujah, Hallelujah sorry I had to take a praise break for a moment) and he delivered me from the temptation to sin in homosexuality that nearly destroyed my life. I would like to thank God for coming in the mist of everything and not allowing to interfere. Once I stepped out of the way, sat down and shut up the Lord worked it out for me that I don’t feel like I did before. "Our God is an awesome God he reigns from Heaven above with wisdom, power and love. Our God is an awesome God," I just had to sing that song it was on my heart. Also I would like to thank the people who the Lord placed in my life and especially two people who have prayed for me and with me also shared words or encouragement and more importantly the Word of God with me. I love you so much as I would if you were my blood brother. Thank you so much and I thank the Lord for you and I pray he blesses you with everything the Lord is going to bless you with.
One final thing I like to address that is that if you are going through anything and I mean anything just call on the Lord, give it to him, get out of his way and you’ll be blessed in the end. And you’ll see your joy return stronger, wiser and better than before because you being tested me brother and sister. Oh and Satan…LISTEN YOU CAN’T TAKE MY JOY AND I WILL PRAISE THE LORD IN THE GOOD TIMES AND BAD BECAUSE NOW I WON’T LISTEN TO YOUR LIES ANYMORE BECAUSE YOU’RE A LIAR. MY EVERYTHING BELONGS TO THE LORD AND ONLY TO THE LORD NOT TO YOU. I AM NOT FOOLISH TO KNOW THAT YOU’RE JUST GOING TO GIVE UP BUT YOUR ATTACKS ARE GOING TO COME MORE AND OFTEN TILL YOU ACHIEVE YOU GOAL. BUT THEY WON’T WORK BECAUSE ALL THE TEST AND TRIALS THAT I AM GOING THROUGH ARE PREPARING ME FOR MY FUTURE.
I pray that you all be blessed and highly favored by the Lord.

A Sad State of Affairs

Yes, what indeed a state of affairs we are in. It makes me sad to the point of tears of how much has changed and is going on right now. We are under attack and we just sit there and take it or we fight for a little bit then get distracted with something else. We, Christian men, are under attack, a serious attack, that SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY. But guess what it is going on around me. The level of disrespect that goes on just shocks me. I mean come on my fellow Christian men what are we doing with each other. We treat each other with disrespect and hate that it boggles the mind. Where is the love that Jesus Christ said we are to have one for another, huh. Did you think in your mind that it doesn't apply to you? Well, guess what my brother it does apply to you. How can you sit there and let your fellow brother in Christ fall into sin? All the while you sit on the sidelines judging him with the judgment that is reserved for Jesus himself. Why must you sit and ignore your fellow brother who is going through a difficult test or trial in his life? Is it because you're so afraid that the test or trial in their life comes on to you. What if Jesus said that to the woman who about to be stoned to death for committing adultery I can't help you because you have sinned and you're going to bust hell wide open for it. Are you that smart and strong in the Lord that can't reach out to that brother? I pray that is not the answer because that kind of arrogance is mind blowing. Oh, wait a minute is it the test or trial that your fellow brother is going through. Okay, for an example your brother might be going to the spirit of homosexuality. And you have been placed to help them see the acts they are doing as sinful in the eyes of God and lead them back to the will of God has for their lives. Now, I am speaking of a Christian man who is going through this struggle with the spirit of homosexuality. Of course, you my brother didn't have to do deal with that spirit because God didn't need you to go through that. But he gave you empathy or an understanding of the situation that surrounds the brother. For example, you might know about the things he's doing with guys but you might relate to something else that might have led him to go down through this trial.
And to my brothers that themselves are going through this trial or test or any other except the help of these brothers. These brothers are here to help you when you'll need the most. Pushing them away just makes you look bad and you're telling God that he was wrong for doing it. Or is it that you just want to have more "fun" in the sinful lifestyle of the sin. Or is it that you are so afraid that the brother will judge you so bad and harshly that you turn away from God all together. Well, my brother I pray that is not the answer because you can't turn away from God and let go of his unchanging hand no matter how bad you want to let go. YOU WERE SAVED FOR A REASON THAT IS ONLY KNOWN UNTO GOD. And running from it and him while he sends brothers your way to remind you that God has and will always love you so stop your running and talk to that person. It won't hurt you because God would never hurt you because God is love and as it says in John 3:16 that "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" who died on the cross for not this sin that you're in but all sins. Isn't great that we serve a God like that?
Is it my prayer that we all come together as men, Christian men and put away our differences and love each other. That we continue to encourage each other and bless each other with the love of Christ that dwells in each of us. Also that we heed the words of John 15:13 "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." And for those guys out there who might not know Christ but you have heard of Him I suggest you get to know him better for yourself and you might never know who you are talking to. And if such a person is in your life then ask them about the God and his Son, Jesus. Go on and ask it just might change your life.

Be blessed and encouraged

A Little Something You Should Read

To my fellow brothers and sisters and also to whom it may concern, whats going on around in the world but more importantly whats going on with in us. How come we submit to everything ACCEPT God. We submit to the world if not every day but once a day or once a week. We sit back on some high "moral" horse and submit ourselves to it. Now, if your saying or thinking I dont that then my friend you are acting outta pride. We give into the temptation the world in conjuction with the enemy has set-up and yes we might not for every single trap but we still fall for something. All of us have fallen into the submission of the world. But my friend, my brother or sister as it says in 1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. You are greater than the tempation of the world and greater than to submit to it. But once again for some of us we dont "think" and in our finite wisdom we turn to and submit to temptation because its better than submitting to God. People will turn to the thing that has them bound and stay there because it comforting and easy. Then also with that some of us will say Lord, help me out of this situation but when the Lord provides the way out of it. You'll sit back and say no some kinda two year old because lets just say theres someone in your life that is not helping you in your walk with the Lord. And they are just draining you left and right and you only connected with them in the first place because they said they were christian or had some kinda christian saying or even gospel music or videoes. And then we say to the Lord no Lord why them they make me feel so this way or that way or they are the only person who lets me know that I matter in this world. Or you'll say Lord they complete me or they are my inspiration or better they are my "idol". Well, my brother or sister but I am so sorry that you have all these feelings tired up to this one person but you need to understand that one person will hurt, has hurt or is going to hurt you in the end. So, to end the pain you feel, have felt or going through right now PUT ALL FEELINGS AND YES LOVE TO GOD. THATS RIGHT THE SAME GOD THAT WAKES YOU UP EVERY SINGLE MORNING. The same one who provides for you breathe in your body, activity of your limbs and being clothed in your right mind. Yeah, the same one who watches over you day and night. The same one who you think isnt watching as you call the person who he HAS TAKEN out of your life for the reasons that strictly up to him because he's soverign. Today, is the last day for you my friend, my fellow brother and sister in Christ to believe, love with all your body, mind and soul and trust in people who are willing leading YOU down the wrong path. It is my prayer that we STOP falling for the tricks of our own minds, the tricks of the world and the tricks of the enemy.
Be blessed

TRUST

Trust in the Lord is something that is easy for some of us and for others it's not so easy. Actually, its very hard lets be real here people. Think about it just sit back in your chair and think about it how can we trust in someone we can't see. For some people in and people of the world trusting in the Lord is understandably not done because they do not trust or believe in God in the first place. So, how can the person accept that Jesus came to the Earth and died for them but for the Christian trust is something that should be done every second of every minute of every hour and put into practice in our daily lives. Of course, even for us Christians trusting in God has its ups and downs and sometimes we "forget" to trust in the Lord.
Now, you may wonder how can a person "forget" to trust in the Lord. Well, my brothers and sisters when are going oh so right in our lives we "forget" to do that thing called prayer or we do pray but its relegated to thanking God for this and that like health and his glory upon you for that day or week. Another thing is reading the Bible when everything is going right we read the Bible a little bit and we might even read our favorite verses. But when the problems and pressures of life the Bible becomes our bestest friends till God delivers us from the thing. How many of us have struggled with trusting in God. Oh come now I know I'm not the only one person with his hand raised. Well, anywho yes there have been times where I haven't trusted in the Lord as well as I should have. And the results were just so harmful that it's not funny.
So, you're asking well who did he trust if he didn't trust God. It says in Psalm chapter five verse eleven and it reads "But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee" how come you can put trust in the Lord when the bills are paid, when love ones love us with unconditional love, your wallet is full and bank account is as well, etc…etc. But what about when that one bill is due and the rates went up, what about that loved one is on the ungodly path or something was said between you all, or what about when the bank account is nearing the end and your wallet looks like a ghost town. Where is the trust in the Lord then but for some it went right out the window which leads to the person to withdraw slowly from the Lord day by day. For it says Psalm 91 verse 2, "I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust." So, if you can trust in the Lord on Sunday in church then why can't you trust him on Monday or for the rest of the week.
A question comes up when we pull away from God and stop trusting in him. Do you know we will put our full trust into man first and sometimes only trust man. Trusting man and not God can have its dangerous consequences for us believers. In the 118 chapter of Psalm and the eighth verse says "It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man." Man is made by God but is not God. There is a saying that says that God created man but I'm here to say that man didn't create God. God gives man all of his intelligence and sometimes man doesn't make the best of decisions. Yet some will put their full trust in man when we all know full well that man will make a bad decision. We have seen man fail and fall so many times that you would think that we would believe in God instead. But once again we don't and it isn't till we are fed up trusting in man than God. So, me and my house will trust in God for all things and not man.

False prophets

With all the scriptures about false prophets they still prey on those of us that are doing the will of God. It just burns me up that they are that “good” at disguising themselves. I personally haven’t met one before but I can imagine the feeling of it feeling “real” but for me I would also have this feeling of doubt. But hey that’s just me but many people are taken on a ride that leads to their downfall. Families broken up over their “prophetic visions” or their “prophetic sayings” brothers and sisters, parents and children turn away from God all because this “prophet” said somethings that were good. Many people have left there ministries because of them and their so called things that God told them to tell you. Some people are easily fooled by the “words of God” and “prophetic utterances” especially since some have this distant knowledge of the things about you. Believers and Christians sometimes have a hard time trying to figure out how these people can just come into their lives with the “words from the Lord.” The way that these “prophets” come in is slick, I mean real slick sometimes these “prophets” have been either watching you from afar or in reference to myspace coming to your page from someone else’s page. Coming to your page these “prophets” can look around and then deduce from the pics, the things written on your page and even your friends you keep. This conclusion will lead the “prophet” to have that “prophetic utterance” for you and comes in to you thinking that it’s from God. We all have to be aware of the false prophet and “words” they say to us for it as says in First John 4:1 I John 4:1 “Beloved, do not believe every spirit but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” Testing these guys and continue on testing them. But there is another factor we have to do as well that is that we have to stay in constant contact with God. Yeah I know that’s hard for some of us but then again not really. We just have to know that God is never going to leave us of forget about us like a human would. God is not somebody he created that’s going to disappoint you when you think he’s going. And if God says no and to wait then why would he send a “prophet” to you telling to do the thing he said wait on. I believe that God wouldn’t contradict himself like that at all. Of course, that false prophet comes in like that wolf as it is talked about in Matthew. It is prayer that all of these false prophets stop their games and letting the devil use them to take innocent good people, believers and Christians who are going through a rough season where God wants them to focus on him and not you, Mr. “prophet”. Leave us all of us alone with your “prophecies” and “sayings” for us to hear. And if you do have the real calling of the office of prophet and you are allowing the devil to use you then my brother and sister you as well need to get reconnected with God and do it now before another person live is taken off the path that God has them on.

Do you trust God or Man???

Proverbs 3:5 says: Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Luke 10:27 says: And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.....
Psalm 37:3 and 5 say: 3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. 5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.....
John 21:17 says: He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee, Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.....
1 Corinthians 3:16 Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?....
Today, let’s shake things up around here. First, giving honor to God where it is always due. To the various ministers and pastors who are constantly preach the Word of God and not the word of man. To every single brother and sister in Christ, to family, church family and friends. As you can see and read the following verses and for a little something I want to leave you with is…Trust God and not man!....
Why is it that everytime when I turn around or hear through the grapevine that somebody is saying I’ve turned my life around with the help of so and so. Where was God in that mix. Wait, let me refine that for a minute how come a person who believes in the All Mighty God say or wind up saying I’ve done such and such with the help of my friend. And again where was God in that mix. How come we believe in our friends so much that we run to them with our problems only so and so can help me. Or how come we’ll talk to certain friends of ours because so and so went through the same thing and we’ll talk to them. But in reality you should have come to God with that problem. Of course, so of us have bought into that theory that God is too busy to deal with our problems or the other theory that God is already knows the problems or the other theory or trap that God is not answering so I have to tell so and so. Or that other theory that God is going to say no or wait so I won’t go to Him. Friends are good to have in your life they encourage from time to time but there are times when friends need to be left out of the equation and God is the answer to your problem. In my life I have been fortunate enough to have some real great people come into my life. And these people have become my friends and a select few have become my closet friends. Four of my closet friends that I talk to have come into my life through the internet or through outside the internet and I respect all of their opinions as I pray they do for mine. And I don’t favor one over the other they all are equal in my opinion. They know almost know everything about me as I do them but there are times when we both need to get away from each other and talk to God. Sometimes that’s a little hard to do sometime because you feel that you want to talk to another human being and then talk with God. ....
Well…sometimes God needs me…I mean us to call on Him and not that friend who has gone through the same hell you’re going through but someone who can empathize like I don’t know God and then He’ll direct you to the person who He wants to help you. I was told awhile ago by one of my closet friends that we have to be careful when talking to certain friends because we don’t know what they are going through. And you know he was right in saying that because I don’t know what my friends are really going through just like I don’t know what’s going on in there’s. But as it says in Luke 10:27 says: “And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself” we are to put our trust in God and not man since man has his problems of his own. So who are you going to trust God or man?....
