Oftentimes we don’t believe in ourselves enough to produce Faith, proceed in Faith and proclaim Faith. Faith is not something you can see. Faith should be how we operate on a daily bases and throughout the rest of our lives. It is impossible to please God without having Faith( Hebrews 11:6), in the one whom we should believe in but can not see. What do we hope for? But who can we place our hope in? God is the only way, the true vine, the bright and morning star and the list can go on until eternity. But until you define who God is to you then you will have Faith to see Him for yourself. God will put you before great people. The people who are great to the worlds standards are not the ones who God was referring to. Great people build their lives on the Word of God. Great people live their lives to please God. Great people are moved by showing acts of love and compassion toward their neighbors. Great people are not afraid of what people think about them. Great people walk by Faith. On this past Sunday God had placed a young lady in my view. As the service moved I moved out to just give her a hug. Little did I know that the hug turned into a time of communing with God through the Holy Spirit. All that I gave out she returned it to me. Even though I was blessed by her being a vessel, in return God had me to see something that I had not seen before in anyone else. An offering was asked of the church and as my sister handed me money toward the offering, the young lady who blessed me took an envelope in which I believe had nothing in it, and wrote on the envelope and placed it in the basket. She gave an offering of sacrifice unto God. I had read from Gospel Principles (Edition 2011) and it said that,”Our willingness to sacrifice is an indication of our devotion to God”. I believe that God had me to see that for a reason. I don’t know if she wrote an amount on the envelope by Faith or if she wrote a prayer request to God. My heart tells me He wanted me to know and understand that great people who live by Faith give even when they don’t have. Praise be to God! When God gives He gives more than what we can ask or think. We have to learn to act before we think in order for Faith to move into action. And be willing to learn in the process. </span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">“When Jesus heard this, He was amazed at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, “I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!” (Luke 7:9)</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Duly Noted and Marked </span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18126416186934124449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240179323338034642.post-69996634572710255982014-01-20T13:40:00.001-05:002014-01-20T13:40:41.844-05:00A Poverty Mind<div><br></div><div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">A poverty mind will have you in a place of wanting everything you see, obtaining what you see, finding happiness from what you received, but the moment lasts as long as it’s value. We associate poverty with money because that’s all we tend to focus on the most. The “Have’s” have because they sacrifice to gain what others overlook, which is the prescribed medicine to all wealth,knowledge. The “Have” not’s don’t have because they sacrifice much to loose big and eventually give up their rights to loose it all to a poverty mind. I don’t believe that everyone wants to stay at this level. I believe that what you don’t know will possibly kill you, but what you fail to learn is seemly your responsibility. Who doesn't want to have wealth? I know for one I do. For myself acquiring the wealth I want is closer to me now than it’s ever been. My wealth is associated with my success. Executing my plans and achieving goals is the wealth I desire. If any of these things don’t bring me wealth from the world, my greatest wealth will be what I didn't allow my focus to remain on. We must change our poverty mind to a wealthy mind. For those that are wealth conscious this way is the only way. How you go about your daily routine is how you will live out the rest of your life. Become more aware of what you do and how you affect your environment. Your associations keep you where you and place you where your thoughts allow you to be. If you never ask how, you will never know when. Make a change today to go and grow from the state your in. Wealth can only be sustained through knowledge.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">“Ignorance closes doors, Knowledge opens them”</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Duly Noted and Marked</span></div><div><br></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18126416186934124449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240179323338034642.post-26598899429745844822014-01-15T10:42:00.001-05:002014-01-15T10:42:13.039-05:00It Does Matter<div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We can say how the opinions of others don’t matter. In actual reality they do. What people say about you can hinder you or progress you. It is up to you to decide whether or not you care. The rights words from the right person can lead you in the right direction. I’m not saying adjust your life because of the concerns of others, but first obtain the vision and then use caution. You have to see a future in everything you plan on doing before you actually do something about it. Lean not on your own understanding(Proverbs 3:5-6). Poor choice of actions can lead you down the wrong path along with the wrong future. Consequences aligned up with the choices we make. Every cause there is an effect and with every action there are outcomes. The steps you take must be well thought out. For some of us as we grow older we grow stagnant while others tend to move with a plan. We must remember to consult those who have moved out ahead and ended up in places you want to go. We are a people who ask not because we’re too afraid of the embarrassment. Stay away from those who look to profit off of your eagerness to succeed. Without wise counsel you won’t get very far. We place great emphasis on success but our aim aligns us to revert back to the opinions of others. For we know that without the right words spoken we won’t get the right results. And it does matter who’s speaking.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">“Incline your ear to hear the right words suitable to suit where your going”</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Duly Noted and Marked</span></div><div><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18126416186934124449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240179323338034642.post-79801508574521092572014-01-14T09:57:00.002-05:002014-01-14T09:57:18.447-05:00Offer a CompromiseThe World will have us to believe that in order to get ahead we must offer a compromise. Just recently I contacted the IRS to settle a debt and they told me the only way to settle is to offer a compromise. So I proceeded with giving them what I think I should owe, along with monies to put the process through. The evaluator contacted me and said that I would have a sum of monies if I didn’t give monies to the church. I then told the evaluator that it is my “right” to give my tithes and offerings (Malachi 3:8-10)to the place where I fellowship. The world has built a defense system against the body of Christ that we can no longer look over as if it is not our problem. We are the body and we have a right to speak up for what is right. Any entity that is against Christ should be an enemy to you (James 4:4 paraphrasing). We as believers must understand that the timing of God’s hand is now showing forth in a mighty way that we can no longer not see the errors of our ways. The World gives rights to homosexuals, abortionist, molesters, murderers and for believers the World is trying to take away the very Word of God in which He has mandated for “All” of us to live according to. Today’s message can be a bit hard to digest and be it so. I personally could not rest and I love you all dearly even if I don’t know you personally. I believe in hating the sin and not the person. We’ve all have come short of the Glory of God (Romans 3:23), also we all have a choice to make in which direction we want to take. Believers we are over stepping boundaries that God has set for our lives. The way that we are living is not okay. We must get right church because our Father is calling us home. Hold on to nothing more than what God is wanting to give you. Take nothing from no one that your not willing to repay. Gods gives blessings to those who are in need of you in order to bless you. Stop looking for the World to capitalize on your gifts, look to please God in your gifts in order for Him to bless you beyond your imagination. Anyone can change. No one is exempt from God’s unconditional Love. Some of us think we have it all together but we’re missing one thing Him. No matter what you have accomplished in your life if it has not been for the glory of God it is meaningless (The Book of Ecclesiastes).He’s calling each and everyone of us. He’s in need of you. Ask God today, “What can I do to please you? Take what is out of me and make me right, make me whole, Lord I’m in need of you because I hear you calling me”. It’s that simple. No need to offer a compromise to the World. In the end there will be nothing left of this World.<br />

“But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners,Christ died for us(Romans 5:8)”<br />
“We love because he first loved us (1John 4:19)<br />
<br />
“But my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches and Glory(Philippians 4:19).”<br />
<br />
“Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way... Better is the little of the righteous than the abundance of many wicked.” Ps 37:7,16 (NAS)<br />

Abstaining in my book is to keep oneself from indulging in anything idol. An idol is usually recognized as a figure or replica of a statute that people can see. But we hardly recognize the idols in our lives that make up illusive thoughts. An idol mind is the devil workshop because of the illusion he paints. We have to remain constantly aware of what we allow into our minds from which our eyes stay fixated on. The finer things in life does not necessarily mean to have all that you want in order to be happy. Those are idols. We worship these things without even knowing that we have fell into a trap of disbelief and formality. And then we hate our lives because we don't have what we believe we should possess. Many of us have idols that stand in our way of progressing. The lack of money, resource, and will power falter our own perception. Abstaining from idol thoughts will allow room for proper use of time and energy. And allow for one to function in a capacity that is suitable to fit ability. Abstaining should be used as a rule of thumb to be applied when our focus becomes idol and our thoughts don't progress. <br><br><br>Duly Noted and Marked </span><br style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18126416186934124449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240179323338034642.post-23971094259708726482013-12-23T17:34:00.001-05:002013-12-23T17:34:11.862-05:00Set Goals<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We're embarking closely on Christmas Day but many of us have already completed all of our shopping and made plans for the day arrival. Some of us have set our heights on New Years Eve to establish new goals for the New Year. And a few of us would like to bypass the Holidays bliss. For those of us establishing new goals we should not forget our old ones. Setting goals is like writing History. History repeats itself and some of our goals should too. Even if you have not started or finished your goals put them back into motion. We don't set goals for today but we set them for tomorrow. We set up our distant future with the plans that we do for today. I for one is setting a goal to continue writing for this blog. I never thought that I would actually continue something that I started and to be consistent with it. Over a hundred blogs completed but still realizing that I haven't reached the cusp of what could be done. If you set your goals high I believe that you can achieve your goals as your level of maturity increases. You become aware of realistic goals verses idealist goals. Your status doesn't change by completing goals your status changes by setting them. Once your attitude changes your whole world is set. Make an attempt to establish goals that reflect your new outlook and adjust your old attitude. <br><br><br>Duly Noted and Marked<br><br></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18126416186934124449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240179323338034642.post-42503718549157821852013-12-17T14:16:00.003-05:002013-12-17T14:16:50.097-05:00Take The Load OffOn this past Sunday a word message went forth and it reminded me of the constant plague that many of us is bound too. I know that we are embarking on a season of giving but many of us still want the benefit of receiving. How often do we get things that we do not deserve. How many times have we been blessed when we have not been a blessing to anyone? And for those who give and ask for the gift back, what was your intent? Sometimes I think we choose what we want to do in spite of doing what we know to be right.God recognizes our heart over our actions. Many of us live our lives for the approval of others. I read part of a passage on yesterday that said, “if God has proved you, who’s approval do you need?” People are being exposed of hidden agendas. Everyone is looking for something and finding what they need in the wrong thing. We want better but we live worse off. Our living is only in vain if we are living according to our selfish desires. You want but you don’t need and you have but you’re not willing to give.This generation can solve the co-existing problems we have in society today, but no one wants the responsibility.To carry burdens of other people are heavy weights to bare. Especially when you are functioning off of what you have to carry for yourself. Burden barriers have the strength of Samson but the weakness of his heart.<br />
When we look at our own hills we see defeat but when we have people who can stand beside us to encourage us it enables us to become stronger. We don’t necessarily have to count on one, we can now count on two. God has placed people in our lives to be our strength when we need it most. Not everyone is experiencing hardships and even so God makes light of them all. People in Leadership positions and power need our help. The way we can help is by taking the load off of their shoulders by using our God given gifts and talents to be of service. Talents are applied skills in areas that you have knowledge in. What are you doing with your talents? I challenge each of you to start thinking of places that you can be a benefit to.What have you not done that you know you could do. God provided His service to us and He displayed many acts through which He was called to do on this earth. And He has called us all to do greater things than He. Life’s practical lessons are first instituted in the home and if it starts there then there should be a display of reaction from which we receive. I can’t make it without you and you can’t make it without me. I urge each of you on today to display some form of service. It is our responsibility to give when we have the means to and to give out of what we are required to. No one needs to force you into using your talents for servitude but your greatest gift comes from putting a smile on someone’s face.<br />

It left me in a state of turmoil. I had no real answers and I saw no real solution. I started to distant myself from my relationships because I felt the need to be alone. I was hiding behind a smile but all the while I wasn't smiling when I was left all alone. I gravitated toward things that desired more of my attention than I could give. And I was left feeling so empty. When you are under spiritual distress the only thing good for you is what you pull away from. Even though I was asking God for the answer and the answer didn't come when I expected it to. It came when I was ready to hear the truth. The answer came while I was waiting for His response. The reason why my go through was as intense as it was, because the underlying reason why I was in this state of being, was because of me. To hear the truth didn't make me run and hide, the truth allowed for me to finally set my heart and mind free. The cause of everything was me. My ears and eyes were congested with what I wanted to see, hear and believe. I didn't ask God to help my disbelief for the fact that my belief in me was disbelieving. It had nothing to do with Him but all to do with me. The truth in waiting was for me to finally see myself in the image that He created. What a loving God we should want to serve. He sees pass our mishaps and finds something special in each of us that made Him say, it is finish. We are all remarkable prospects in the eyes of God full of grandeur and potential that can set this world axis off course. Who you are and what you can do there are no limits. You set the stage and you orchestrate your own performance and the one who's been applauding has been waiting on you all along. </span><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; "><br></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; "><br></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; ">Duly Noted and Marked<br><div><br></div><div>To My Dad:</div><div><br></div><div>You are more to me than anyone could ever be.

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">The unpredictable nature
of life’s consequences and outtakes tend to arrive in a person’s life when circumstances
are unforeseen. People measure pressure based on the weight of the problem. With
distinction we can view our problems with the ability to decipher if it’s based
on a situation that we can handle or one that we can’t. Many of our problems
are caused by using bad judgment. No one likes to make a mistake and no likes to
payback. It is possible to see the problem through different perceptions. Our
perceptions are outlined by the intake of what we would like to see but in
reality it’s what’s hidden from us that we don’t see. That's why you have to
know when it's a matter of vision or a bad glare. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If there is no truth to back it up it becomes invalid.
Always go to the source before you make a decision based off the perception.
It's hardly ever what it looks like but if it is then it’s a reality check. Just
as your season changes so does your perception. Every encounter is not meant to
throw you off course. Some are meant to put you back on. The choices you make are
yours to live with it. No matter what no one else says? The only time you can
go back on a choice is when you have options. Do not take options for granted
they are your way of escape. Use them when needed. Otherwise you’ll lose your
focus. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Balance is a figurative word
I rarely like to use. I thought motion sickness came from driving or flying but
balance is one of those words that tend to make me nauseated while thinking. Trying
to balance love, life, relationships and ministries adds its own frustrations. Learning
how to accommodate them all is not impossible but the reality is you can’t balance
them all. I believe in putting things in systems, functions and perspectives. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I believe that in order for one to complement
the other you have to allow room for error and repeats. The balancing act never
allows room for mistakes because if one fails then they all fall. People are
usually caught in the middle trying to even out both sides by alternating back
and forth from one side to the other. This seesaw act is impossible to remain
steady or in control. Your time and attention will never fully develop this
way. We have to learn to place our lives, our jobs, our ministries, our
passions, our attentions to details in a system that works and functions
properly. The key to mastering them all is never allowing you to get ahead of
yourself. Set boundaries and limitations that you must follow along with those
following you. Each individual has a unique way to adapt to climate and
changes. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you set the bar other must
meet up to your expectations. Proper planning is the way to succeed in life. No
plan, no balance, no system and nothing will function. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Insecurity is a false sense of
hopelessness. Often times we have insecurities because of what we are unsure
of. You have to beware of your insecurities in order to overcome them. It is
not always a superficial thing, majority of the time it stems from a lack of self-awareness. Not knowing who you are plays a part on your
insecurities. Inadequacies, promotion and validation from others stems from
insecurities. You never realize how insecure you are if you’re always surrounded
by people who address your ego. Being alone allows you to see what people tend
to overlook. Drawing attention to yourself or having the attention drawn away
from you shows a lack of security. People who like attention cling to other
people that will give them what they are looking for and eventually those types
of relationships feed off of each other. People who draw away from attention
lack the desire and company of people for they lack security within themselves.
Insecurity is the inward mobility that stops production. Lack of Faith is insecurity.
We are aware of what we can have in God, but we are too afraid to allow God to dwell
in us for the lack of security. Insecurity
will kill everything alive surrounding your life. It will withhold from you
prosperity. It’s not what people say or think about you, it’s the bottom line
that separate you from being insecure and feeling secure about who you are.
Where you draw the line will distinguish how far the line should go. Insecurity
can hold us back from moving on in our personal and business life. When we are afraid to leave relationships and
jobs because of losing our security, we hinder our own development. Your value depletes when you know your time is
up. Taking chances is the way of life for those who have a Plan A and stick to
it without ever having to make use of a Plan B. If you feel that you cannot make it on your
own you will live in someone else’s shadow. Never be afraid to admit your insecurities to
yourself. Confession is good for the soul because it sets your insecurities
free. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Suffering will have you to believe that no one cares and it will make you feel that you are all alone. Pain is a constituent to those that are in connection to you. Emotions and forms of embrace are ways to connect. That is why when a friend is overwhelmed with emotion and exert in a way of tears, tears from our own eyes tend to flow because of what we have experienced through the connection. Connections keep the focus of all people involved. We stay connected because of what we feel for each other. That is why it is so hard to let go, because we share a connection. No one is ever meant to be alone. This journey is meant for us all to help each other along the way. Selfish pride and anxiety of our past gets in the way of us admitting to our own faults. No one is perfect and we all make mistakes but secluding yourself from those that love you and placing yourself in complete isolation only hides you from your own truths. It breaks my heart to see what a person could be in their future but they never invest in their own potential. We have all been let down by people who we have trusted in connection. No one is exempt. If you continue to allow the challenges of this world to make the choice for you and how you will live, then you make God into a little god. One of the greatest fears that people never admit to is the fear of love. For love, has no barriers and in connection with people you can’t keep one up.<br />

This is one of the deceptive plans where the enemy tries to manipulate our future with past experiences. His plan is to use our weaknesses to disable our power usage. If we neglect to use our source then we will feel powerless. We can only overthrow our weaknesses through the power that has been given to us through the use of a Prayer Life.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><strong style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span>Mark 9:29<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i> </i></span></strong><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 16px/18px Cambria, serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><b><i><span>And</span></i></b></span><em style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 16px; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><b><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>he said to them, “This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer.”<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></b></em><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; display: inline !important; float: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 16px/18px Cambria, serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">When you pray you must be honest with God. Honesty breeds openness and openness breeds exposure. Exposure exposes the enemy that is fighting against you. God will reveal to you in the most intimate settings how you can defeat the things that are trying to weaken you. Too many times our fellowships with each other (home, work,) can and will handicap our power. We give more time to others than we do in prayer to God. We get involved in fellowships because of what we don’t have in order to offset what we think we must gain. Relationships with others are essential but our time with God is our being. When desperation kicks in and anxieties follow we search for people who will give of their time and their sympathy. We must be careful who we choose to draw from, not everyone’s well springs forth life, some spring forth a well of contempt, displeasure and disaster. Choose wisely how you spend your time; make sure the time spent is used to draw closer to God in those who you choose to connect with.</span><br />

There are people that are genuinely with you and yet there are people who talk a good one. Moses had to do a heart check on the people of God. He saw their actions but he didn’t give up on them from choosing to serve God. Many of us let people go from our lives because of what we see and hear but we never ask them why they choose to live other than the way that is commanded. We fail to realize that we become judge and juror and never allow the person to defend their case. Maybe they don’t know maybe no one has ever shed the light of the “Word of God” for them to see clearly. But when you know the truth and all you have is a bunch of excuses as to why you want to follow your way, then you now have allowed your flesh to feed you. This time and age we are seeing many people who are becoming a lover of themselves. No one wants to live for God because they rather live a life that is pleasing to them. You can only be true to yourself when you uphold ‘The Truth’. You will live a lie and the truth will not be in you. When you serve yourself instead of serving others you become a ravaging beast. One who looks for meat in obscured places from whomsoever. Your appetite will draw you away from God. Be careful of your desires. Choose to serve God today and there will be no good thing that He will withhold from you.</span></p><p class=""><br></p><p class=""><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Duly Noted and Marked</span></p></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18126416186934124449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240179323338034642.post-69930550034138454512013-07-15T13:28:00.000-04:002013-07-15T13:28:55.007-04:00Rewards and Benefits

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Life
rewards come at a cost. We endure sacrifice but we also endure benefits that
are rewarding. While waiting for the rewards we often struggle with the obstacles
life presents. The challenges that we face are due to the reoccurrence of tests
that stand midway between the start and the finish. Commanding and demanding
our lives to look the way that it should, shed’s new light on how we should position
ourselves to stand still at moments of despair in order to reap benefit from
the cost of our sacrifices. People who have vision see beyond limitations. A visionary
is a person who is ahead of time but never works out of time. Visionaries work
with what they have and don’t place limits on what they can do. In order to obtain
you must use what’s already inside of you. Those that lack vision lack
perspective. You cannot see where you’re going if you can't see what's standing
in front and beside you. The midway point is merely a distraction. It’s the
point that misguides many of us from moving on. If you give in then you’ll give
up before things get better. Nothing in this life comes easy without hard work.
A little sweat and a flood of tears has never hurt anybody but it’s made people
like you and me into visionaries that command and demand life to render forth
it’s rewards and benefits. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This scripture text resonated so much in and on my life this
morning. I started thinking about whom I serve and why I follow Him. How can I
say I am a believer of Jesus Christ when I agree with people who still want to
do other than the word of God? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Am I
being judgmental or am I following Christ? I was the type of friend who agreed
on having pre-marital sex before marriage, because it was what I was doing. I
even agreed on drinking to a point where you thought you controlled how many
shots of patron you could handle and allowed you to drive home drunk. I was the
type of friend that fought and literally fought in fights that were caused by
malicious behavior that my so-called friends caused, but since I was a friend I
had their back. How foolish was I. I patted people on their back telling them
they were right when knowingly they were wrong. Was I really a friend? As I
reflected back over my life and even as I write this now my hands are trembling
because I know that this may not hit you now but you will have to come back to
this later to reflect. I’ve had boyfriend relationships that where apart of God’s
plan but not of God’s purpose. If a MAN is of God’s purpose for your life, you
will not have to force the word of God on him but he will do according to the
word of God. And any man who is in Christ is a new creature and follows the law
of God and does not allow you to follow into SIN (Please remember this…ladies
and gentlemen) God has not and will not condone a lifestyle that is NOT of His
word. We walk as believers walk, we don’t talk it. We live the way God has
taught and told us to live. If you do anything outside the will of GOD you are
working for satan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Period.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He rules in disguises and many of us right
now are being deceived by what we THINK we want and IT is not of GOD. I can’t
have this word on the inside of me and not share it, because I really love you.
It’s not right and it will never be right if you are not following Christ the
way HE said to do. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you agree on
things that are contradictory to the word of GOD, you will face consequences
that will cause you to call on His name. Warning comes before destruction. The
order of GOD is HIS word! BE NOT FOOLED for God is not mocked</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Never love someone so much that they don’t have a desire to
Change”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Love is meaningless when it is based on what you do for someone
else. When you are able to walk away from someone you love it is a possibility
you may be doing them no harm but more good. For love is not defined as a narrative
but a formative action. When you desire to be loved, love doesn’t come easy but
it may come quick. You give love to receive love, but if you expect it back the
way you gave it, it’s not love. Love is not equal. If you go into a
relationship in hopes that it will be, then your portion will weigh in on the
relationship. Love is mutually shared. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
have to be in tuned with those that say they love you from their heart. For the
heart has a mind of its own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When love
plays a role in the relationship it builds on satisfaction more than standards.
For we set the foundation on which it stands. And we have to be careful with
using the word in association with what we see. For we can only love someone
when we recognize that love is not all we need. Check yourself about the word love.
Redefine love by characteristic traits and intent. When your
heart has a mind of its own it will go off of a feeling. It feels good to hear
someone say that they love you, but it feels even better when you know they
mean it. The intent of a person’s heart will deserve your attention. Be true to
love and love will come through for you. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Most of us head in the wrong direction because we don’t know
where to go. We’re looking for direction but can’t seem to find any that will
help. We’re in dire need but no one is around. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What do we do? We end up moving without
waiting. The error in most of our lives comes from moving out of turn and moving
when not supposed to. No one likes to wait for a signal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are anxious creatures with impulse drives
that leave us moving ahead of ourselves and leaving others behind. You can’t
move unless you’ve been told to go. Signs are always around you but you only
pay attention to the sign that you want to see. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We run and bump our heads too often with the
same mistakes time and time after time again. It can’t be a changed season if
you don’t change your direction. Direction is important as to staying focus is.
A change mindset is a changed behavior. Progression equals results and change
signals responses. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lead by example and
signal change for the entire world to see. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

believe that in this season we will see our dreams come true. There is a
clause. You must first believe. The power of believing comes from knowing not
seeing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are often distracted by what
we think we control. In fact what we think we have control over still has power
over us. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you’re driving your
automobile, you think your controlling the steering but you don’t control the
car. It is powered by a source that has total control over you and where you’re
going. You believe that where you’re headed will eventually get you to where
you want to be. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But what has the power
to stop you can detour you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Life is not
meant to be lived by what we control. Life is meant to be lived through the possibility
of believing, for that, “All things are possible to them that believe”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This season is a season of growth and maturity.
If you latch on to this everything else will detach itself from you that means
you harm. Hold on to nothing that does not see the value in you. In this season
do not be afraid to be alone. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone
in your life cannot be a part of this season. You paid a price that caused you
to sacrifice some of your hearts desires and you will be rewarded. Situations
came to show you what you’re made of, but believing made you believe in you. Now
you’re self-identified by your DNA (Divine New Appointment). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a place where you have arrived. What a
journey this has been for many of us and a journey it will continue to be. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Getting off course from your assignment will leave you to
believe that it’s your business to focus on the obvious when in fact the obvious is what’s blinding you from the truth. When you’re about your father’s
business His focus is now your focus and His alone. When we deviate from the assignment
confusion, frustration, depression and uncertainty sets in. We believe that what
we’re doing is right and it could be rightfully so, but also rightfully wrong as
well. Who determines the right from the
wrong will determine the outcome. We have to be careful to not allow our
footing to tread upon territory that will take us away from safety. Being defiant
and misusing our power will have one to believe that we are in control of our
own lives. Many people that fall from grace believe that they have mastered enough
power and gained enough control that the power that is in their hands, is the absolute
power that can triumph overall. The
horror behind believing that you and I alone have the power will make one believe
that we are gods in man creation without the spirit of God. Be cautious of people
that have their own mind. They are the very ones that work in deception. When
you practice to deceive, the ending of an anything is total destruction. You
can only control what is allowed through complete submission. You can influence
people to do more or you can influence people to do less. It’s all up to your
standard of living. Who you are today says a lot about the decisions you've
made. Irrational people make irrational choices. Sensible people make wise use
of their time and place more effort toward the assignment than the obvious. When
you are on an assignment you are governed by one authority, one rule and one government.
There is no democracy in decision making. In decision making, lean not to your
own understanding. We have all been called to complete our assignments. Every assignment
has classified information only to be revealed at the opportune time of relieving
upon the completion. When you are in the
middle of chaos that’s when you know that you're assignment is close to end.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Why am I here? Are questions we tend to ask ourselves when
things are not working out as we’ve hoped? But why are we here? Is there a
force making us stay or are we forcing ourselves to stay? Why do we allow finances
and the opinions of others to delay our moving plans? Taking chances is another
way to increase your faith. You must see yourself moving before you actually
take the first step. When you believe in
you, delayed applications will not hinder your next move. Where you see yourself is where you ought to
be. Now the real question is, “How do I get there”. The simplest explanation to
the question can be the hardest thing to digest. But the simple truth lies in
what you believe in. The image that you
see daily is the truth of the matter but we don’t face it. We never own up to what
went wrong and we view critiquing as criticism. Critiquing is not based on your
reflection but based on your response. You can gain a broader prospective through
someone else’s view. The more you know the more you will see where you ought to
be. We make things complicated when we double back on wise counsel. Poor judgment
never leaves you at a standstill but wallowing does. If you continue to be a monument
then you’ll see peoples faces, places and opportunities pass you by while you’re
contemplating your next move. <o:p></o:p></div>

Our mortal bodies takes a form of a house. A house is a place that we live in but it is also a place that we must continue to repair. In the form of relationships, we entrust our homes to easily in the cares of others because we're more concerned with entertaining and occupying our homes with guest. Relationships must have a common bond. Whatever the bond is will prove to be the foundation of the relationship. You have to be careful in your choosing. Foundations must be solidified with a raw material that sets the house in order. If your house is not in order its in disarray. Careful planning must go into preparation before the house foundation is set. When we do not inquire of a persons foundation we open ourselves up to fall. Once the foundation of the home is set and its joined together with another foundation. Then the two are in agreement. Foundations are a major part of our decision making. Foundations are a vital instrument used to build. If the house is shaken and the foundation is set incorrectly, it will fall at the hands of the builders. Experience can not be your guide when building. The setting of the foundation will require a raw material that is unbreakable, unbendable and unshaken. When a foundation is laid on a"Rock" the home is sturdy. And it's able to withstand the floods. </span><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br>Duly Noted and Marked <br><br></span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18126416186934124449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240179323338034642.post-80168930090625847322013-06-03T18:53:00.003-04:002013-06-03T18:53:39.200-04:00Call and Plan<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">What makes us great will
not necessarily outline our purpose. Life is full tasks, missions, and strategies
that are geared toward fulfilling our purpose, but never allows us to understand
“The Purpose”. When we arrive at the conclusion we gain full knowledge of what
we are capable of, even when were faced with difficulty. Purposeful people
never allow themselves to stay off course for too long. And they never get
caught up in what people say about them that makes them great. They are the
ones who will leave an indubitable impression. Legendary people leave legacies. We tend to miss out on our call and plan
because we tend to focus our sights on the things below rather than the things
above. We are a people filled with many traits and God given abilities that
make us master in our own right. Mastering an ability in order to be great is a
feat and a challenge, but mastering many takes ingenuity. In the Word it says,
"We are called accordingly to His riches and His glory". If we are a
called people and are called accordingly to one purpose does it mean that we
can only be great in one area? Many are called and the chosen will be few since
there is only a few of us that want to be legacy driven. A legend acts according
to the call and plan that is set to fulfill “The Purpose”. If we deviate from
the call and plan then greatness doesn't get achieved and the purpose becomes
unfulfilled. Lack is an area of confusion. People lack because of what they don’t
want to know. Many will fail to understand but there will be those who never
give up. Giving up will never be an option when you are called according to the
plan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The system that teaches them that waiting is not worth it, if you can have everything now. We are beyond the microwave generation. We are facing a generation that exploits and expects results in such aways that is producing an appetite for desires that are beyond imagination. This desire has our generation rebelling and looking for substitutions in substances, materials and physical means that have only short term effects. And the sad thing is that they have no clue what they are doing to themselves. The detrimental effects of these choices are going to produce negative results throughout their lifetime. At this very moment I am asking myself what can be done? We've heard in times past in order to teach one you have to reach one. But if you are too caught up with yourself then you'll miss the opportunity to be the one who could possibly change someone's life. They need us more now than ever and I urge you today to look beyond yourself and reach out to someone who needs someone like you in there lives. If not you than who? <br><br><br><br>Duly Noted and Marked</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18126416186934124449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240179323338034642.post-82304541639282517872013-05-20T12:03:00.001-04:002013-05-20T12:03:51.109-04:00Will of a Whale<p class=""><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">There was no excuse for Jonah to run away from doing the will of God. He ran not out of fear but because he thought what he wanted to not do was more important than rescuing the people who needed to know God more. The people actually needed to see a physical manifestation of God’s word through his works. Jonah was a living work of God’s word. It wasn't just his dramatic rescue from being spewed out of the whale’s belly that made Jonah renowned. It was the fact that Jonah was called before he fled. How often do we run with no though of turning back? How often do we see our own needs before we look to lend a hand to someone else? We are favored people by God, whose call is to proceed to action without hesitation. Within hesitation becomes frustration. Nothing will work out until we (you) (me) get our will of a whale out the way. Jonah’s will became his whale. His will was enlarged by what he thought was right. If I never learn anything else from today, I've learned that my will of a whale must die in order to gain passage into the Kingdom of God. If (we) I stop now we will become endangered species to a generation in need of the message that we have to bring. I salute all that desires to know God intimately. This is a place where we will understand that God’s will, is what we really want.</span></p><p class=""><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Thy will will be done on Earth"</span></p><p class=""><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p><p class=""><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Duly Noted and Marked</span></p><p class=""><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18126416186934124449noreply@blogger.com0
