Prioritize Your LIfe - Answer to Love

Live to learn and to know whats most important in ones life. It is most certainly not a car or house, tho those accomplishments in their right timing and affordability are nice, material things and possessions or people should never ever be the most important things in our lives, other than GOD. We must learn as individuals, what is most important in each one of our lives that will cause us to live, to be, to grow, to know, all in the earth that we should know, and my friends, knowing God, or getting to know God, will most definetely help to reveal all that there is to know, all that you need to or should know in this earth realm. Getting to know God, allows you to also begin to know yourself, not only to know yourself but then to love yourself, despite what others have said, have done, or may think of you. Getting to know God is the greatest benefit of your life. It will unlock hidden treasures on the inside of you, things that you had no idea were even there, the love of God will do that for you which you could not do for yourself, or better yet, any other human being. A developing relationship with God will sharpen your discernment to be able to see more clearly and love more dearly, those that desire love, Will also help you to know what or who is right for you or wrong for you, this includes friends who are really frienemies then to become haters as you learn to let them go! Sometimes it could even be your own family! your own blood! sometimes you gotta go! depart! get away! It begins with the creator, Him first, all else will begin to fall into place and there proper space. Have you ever walked into a home, and all the living room furniture was in the bedroom and bedroom furniture in the living room, kitchen stuff in bathroom and bathroom in kitchen??? Not really!!!! for to have done so would mean that this house would be out of order, unorganized and not prioritized! cannot sale and runs the risk of failure. But on the other hand, getting to know your maker, the creator, will help  you to remove the clutter, to begin to put things in their proper place and perspective in life, getting to know God, will help you to better know yourself, in realizing that He wants the very best for you and your life, He wants to help you organize and prioritize your life! but you have to have an open heart and mind in order to receive the divine plan that God has for your life, you have to be willing to live a surrendered life, a life yielded to God, with spirit understanding and insight, and He will show you His way and HIs plan for your own life, not their plan for you, some times His plan and His way for your life, is NOT the way that your people or your family would understand, but it is a way that was created and designed especially for you, to reach those that are like-minded and clothed.  Sometimes you may have to go it alone, or it will feel like you may be alone, but know that He has said that He would never leave or forsake you, and the reason that He has said this, is because He knows that if you are called or chosen, you will not be liked by everyone, folk will even fall out of love with you, but if He said it, that settles it, If God said that I am more than a conqueror , i choose to believe what He says, about who it is that I am today, I choose to activate faith and walk in the principles of light and life that are set before me, not only found in the word of God, the bible, but also in your current, daily walk with God, He will reveal to you things about your own personal life or love and happiness, that cannot be found in the word, and sometimes whats revealed is even more challenging than whats found in the word concerning your walk and your life, but God sees all challenges thru to end, you will not be left alone and with His infinite power you will win and succeed and whatever you set your heart and mind to do, because you will know, that its is not in my own power or might, but by the spirit of the living God that helps me to know that I can do this, and that it shall be done. Struggle no more, no longer live in defeat and feeling like you have failed everyone around you, or that if you are not making enough money , you cannot live, or that if you dont look a certain way then you could never be or do as you please, or you could never be happy if you dont have this thing or that thing, these are all lies, that come from another place, to cause you to live in defeat and never claim hold of what really living life feels like, really living life, feels like peace, it feels like love, it feels like joy, you may not have any money in the bank or to your name, but you have peace in your mind and in your heart, you have joy deep down in your soul, you have love, because we know that to know God, who is love, is to know love itself. You have not really known love, until that moment when love knocks on your door, and ask the question, can i come in? it is not until your answer is Yes, that you will receive your true and real change or heart and mind and walk uprightly before Him, and really and truly live freely, walking directly into your destiny, despite who dont like it. If God is down wit it, then so be it! So I ask  you today, when love comes knockin on your door, could be today or tommorrow, or even at this very moment as you read this passage, what will your answer be?

Bad Relationships......

Ladies and Gents, you know you are in a bad relationship , when he/she treats themselves better than they treat you, when he/she speaks more of themselves than they do you, for example, he looks in the mirror and says to himself, damn i look good, and looks at you and says, damn , you could stand to lose a little weight, or your fat boo, or i dont like your hair or ive gone to this school, i done this, and ive done that, and im doing this, im doing that, im im im  im!!!!! you get the picture, and you probably can count how many times he's said anything nice to you or about you. NO!!! unacceptable behavior, RUN, GET OUT, and GO love yourself until the right one comes. If he didnt treat you right then, he will not now, he will not change. Its important that we are able to know love and identify it when it comes, but they way to really do that, is to really know yourself, really give yourself all the loving you deserve first, dont wait to get it, give it to yourself now, especially if you are single and aint got nobody. give yourself love, take yourself out, treat yourself good, exercise, go to a movie, enjoy. laugh, and you will know that when you get with he or she that it will be right!!! because you'll know what love is, because you would have given love to yourself. It should be nothing less than your absolute, the best of who you have become. If you have been faithful, committed to yourself, your family and to God, you wouldn't cheat on yourself and you wont cheat on him or her, and you should expect the same from your mate, they should be faithfully committed to themselves, family and God. This is just a good recipe and formula, that i have lived by and it works, you began to look for the right things, instead of ignoring all the wrong and those red flag warnings. You will never again, let someone speak down on you or make you feel like you dont matter, if they are a potential candidate for love, you will be able to listen and hear for it, he or she will compliment you, and will be supportive of where you are, and encourage where you're going or where you want to go, Love is not puffed up and it does not tear down, it builds, and it lifts, if these things are not happening to you on the first few dates, hell or even the first date, RUN!!!! Not the one!!!! if its the first date and he has dissed you even one time, or said something that really just does not agree with your spirt, say, CHECK PLEASE!!!!! and thank you but no thank you. NOT THE ONE!!!!, However long you have to wait till the right one comes, it will be worth the wait. Because we would be a fool to think that wrong could ever really be right!!! dont try it. but love will come, and it will be right, just as long as you are! I love you, love yourself!!!!! peace n love.

Forgiveness and Love

Forgiveness and Love, Lets talk about it, You cannot truly love unless you learn to really forgive, and believe you me, it is easier said than done, forgiving those who have hurt you in some way in the past is not an easy task, but it is necessary,  in order to allow love to flow freely thru your life, you must forgive and also be forgiven. Lets talk a bit about the power of forgiveness; When you forgive, it lifts the "dead weight" up and out of your life. Forgiveness also frees the soul and advances the soul to a more elevated and progressive state of being, which is what in turn allows you to then know love in the fullness thereof. When we learn to really forgive, we can then be re-introduced to love in a new light. Life can begin again. Most people including myself have said that we they were able to forgive those who have hurt them, tho painful in the moment, the moment thereafter was almost magical. you feel free, you feel like a weight has been lifted off of your shoulders, well that is the power of forgiveness, the scripture in the bible even says, that we should forgive , so that God in heaven would forgive us, whenever we should need it, and believe you me, you always want God on your side, but forgiveness is key. I live freely and live in a state of peace in my mind, because i had to learn to forgive, and then let go of the dead weight that will try its very best in life to hold you down, hold you back from being progressive and reaching for all that the universe has in store for you to accomplish, you have to make the choice and decision to say, i want to be free, I know he/she hurt me so bad, I dont know why and I dont fully understand it, Im not even sure if the abuser fully understands why, but it happened, and so because I want to be free to walk in love and peace, I must do what God would have me to do, and forgive those who have trespassed against me. So that whenever I need God, I know that there is nothing standing in the way of my blessing, nothing standing in the way of my miracle, nothing standing in the way love, because I have learned to key to life and living even a healthier, happier life, the key is forgivness, because we know that we cannot truly love our neighbor, unless we forgive those that have hurt us, ask for forgivness if we have hurt others, ask God for forgiveness and then forgive ourselves. these are the keys to being free and living and walking in love. Who is it that you have to forgive? Start Today, and watch you life change before your very eyes. It works. I love you. and so does HE!!!! :)

When I think of a sunset, I think of you, so bright, full of life, colorful with cool energy, when i think of a sunset, i think of what was a warm and sunny afternoon , now becoming the cool and breezy evening of night, cool and breezy, much like you, when i think of a sunset, i think of love, thrust high up in the sky, painting the blue to many colors of new, when i think of a sunset, i think of you, i think of this, what we got right here, our beautiful wonderful extraordinary case of love at dawn, till the early morn, im out!!!! :)

For The Life Of Me

Having gone thru some thangs in life, im entitled to write about it, because i can, such freedom in being able to talk about yourself for the world to see, how liberating, Wow what a journey is what i really want to say right now, A journey of learning, we live to learn, and yet we learn to live. Grew up in a pentecostal faith filled home, evangelists, ministers, trustee board members, and so on, I myself begin singing and apart of ministry at the tender age of 11 years old, first song, Let my people Go, Pharoahs Song. and continued singing for God in ministry thruout the years, all while singing his praises, there was a battle going on, on the inside of me, a war not yet won, I felt everything was ok, except this one thing, I was having an identity crisis, so i felt, all this around the age of 16, i began to feel things, that the preacher man would say were wrong, but yet it wasnt sexual , it was more like an understanding of identity , a discovery if you will. Yet I was afraid of what i had discovered about myself, while i was learning me, i was also learning that this part of me , this self discovery of sexual identity, was forbidden and could not be talked about or discussed, Yet Ill admit, when i look back now, i had probably known even earlier on, well at least my family did, they would see certain mannerisms that they of course didnt agree with, and would verbally shout out antics when i was only an adolescent such as walk straight, put ur butt in, fix ur wrist!!!! stop this, stop that. To the point where i began living in a state of fear, in my teen years, until at 16 goin on 17, senior year of high school, I thought of suicide, and was thinking of a way that i could end my life, without any pain to where it would b instant, if i just throw myself in ongoing traffic, or off a cliff, that might just do the trick, didnt really feel like i was loved for me anyways, or the understanding that had become of me, i was already being bullied in school for being different, and then have to have it come from family as well, as you can imagine, made it real hard for me to choose to live, i was ready to die. But i had an opportuntiy to go to a chrisitian private college where, i thought my answers to freedom and maybe a possible deliverance from what was said to be a homosexual demon, so off i went out of state to college, hoping to find my answers to life, only to find that i was becoming more spiritually strong, alert, aware, not sexually active at this time, a lil curious, but i was focused on God and God had focused on me, and i was happy, content, studying music and theology. My spirit was soaring high, while graduation year was suddenly fast approaching, i began to tell God, now you know whats going on inside, and if it were not meant for me to be this way, then by the time i graduate you will have removed this so called spirit or demonic force from my very being, and so i went on a 40 day fast, and at the end, while i may have been freed from some things, i still knew that i had an attraction the same sex, yet i gave God the benefit of doubt, i said ok God,  I told you by the time i graduate, this should be gone, done with. And sure enough graduation day had come, I walked shook hands, sat down, OMG!!!! that is a beautiful black man right there. Not Gone. So of course me and God had a long conversation for quite some time thereafter, I said God i told you that before i were to graduate this college that i would be delivered, id be set free, and you would do it for me, and Gods response to me was so clear as day, did i not say that you would come to know* the truth and the truth wouold make your free, He said you were already free, he told me , remember how you use to run to me with tears in your eyes after school and then you began to worship me for hours, i was with you then and im with you now, all you had to do was accept your truth and walk in your freedom, and love the who that ive created you to be, they may never understand, or know what it is that i have for you to know, but they dont need too, because i am with you, and have shined on you then as i do now, now go and continue to walk in integrity , righteousness, freedom and love, for I am with you always. Thats what He told me and spoke to my spirit, to where i no longer had a desire to commit suicide or run away from others or myself even, I had a desire to tell the world like me you can be free, but there is a price, it wont be easy, but God will make it so it is worth it. You are not called to live a lie, but are called to live and walk in truth, for to live the life of a lie is to live in defeat and cause you much frustration, but to live and walk in truth is to be free and to have total victory in ones life. im livin it, how bout u? be free, i love you, and so does HE!

Why Hate? Celebrate!!!!

why must we hate, why not celebrate, the fact that I like you are alive, well and in our right minds. Yet we find a way to dissipate , thoughts, shatter dreams, and make someone out to be weirder than they may seem, instead of taking a closer look at yourself in the mirror. Its important that before we cause problems with our mouths, that we examine the one who speaks, by taking a deep retrospective look within, and when within, do we find a friend or a foe? Its important to know who you are, before you even consider who they might be. Do you know your ancestral history? do you know from whence youve come? on the backs of the slaves or their masters, do you know how deep the blood line runs? do you know that before it , whatever your it is, happened to you, it happen to them too., your history may very well determined, or in some way project the outcome of your future, or allow you to steer clear of the dangers that lurk in your present and in the dark. My friends, it is important to know yourself , know who you are, where youve come from and where u are going. work, fight, for all that you feel in your spirit is right, right after you discover yourself, fight to protect yourself, by giving yourself all the love, not sex, all the love that you deserve, give it to yourself, you owe it to yourself, to know yourself, in truth, in happiness and in love.
