The Elite!

One day I was sitting in my house and thinking about the things that my friends have obtained. Then, I began to wonder why I wasn’t at the status level that they were. But, before I was able to complete my thought the Holy Spirit interrupted and said, “You are the righteousness of God in Christ”  (2 Corinthians 5:21, Amplified). He proceeded to say, “You have access to what they have. But, you don’t deem yourself worthy to receive it.” 

The Holy Spirit said that I look at my friends as the elite, even though we all serve the same God. He continued to explain that my friends obtained what they have because they believed that God would give it to them. Then, He reminded me of Sarah (Abraham’s Wife) in the bible. Sarah was able to have a child in her old age because she had faith that God would keep His promise (Hebrews 11:12, Amplified).  Afterwards, He lovingly repeated, “You are the righteousness of God in Christ. Therefore, you are apart of the elite crowd as well because you are a child of God’s!”

I am letting you know that I have been bamboozled into believing that I was unworthy to receive God’s goodness. The reason that I was deceived is because I didn’t know what my inheritance was as a child of God. Now, I make it my business to study and read the bible. Now I know that I am the head and not the tail, above only, and not beneath (Deuteronomy 28:13, Amplified).

Let me leave you with this final thought. In 1 Peter 2:9 (Amplified) it states, But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own [d] purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. Now that you have been made aware of your royal status, continue to meditate on the Word of God and follow His commandments. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are they who keep His testimonies, and who seek, inquire for and of Him and crave Him with the whole heart (Psalm 119:1 & 2, Amplified). Live your life like you are ELITE!

God Bless,

I guess most people are wondering why I talk about God so much in my writing’s. Well, I talk about Him so much because He has been a tremendous asset in my life. He has saved me from myself. Even when I make mistakes God is still with me cheering me on to get it right. For example, I had a situation happen wherein I became irate. I completely loss my peace and became offended. After I defended myself I felt justified and terrible at the same time. I knew that I overreacted and acted out of hurt.

So, I asked the Lord to show me my faults and show me through His word how I should conduct myself in a situation where I feel offended or hurt. I ended up reading 1 Peter 3: 10-12 (Amplified), which says: ¹⁰ For let him who wants to enjoy life and see good days [good—whether apparent or not] keep his tongue free from evil and his lips from guile (treachery, deceit).¹¹ Let him turn away from wickedness and shun it, and let him do right. Let him search for peace (harmony; undisturbedness from fears, agitating passions, and moral conflicts) and seek it eagerly. [Do not merely desire peaceful relations with God, with your fellowmen, and with yourself, but pursue, go after them!]¹² For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with God), and His ears are attentive to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who practice evil [to oppose them, to frustrate, and defeat them].

After reading this scripture I made a decision to repent before God and apologize for my actions to the person that offended me. I realized that I have to pursue peace at all times no matter what the situation is and how I am feeling emotionally. Even though, I was corrected through this scripture I know that God still loves me and I am becoming a better person because of the correction. In Hebrews 12: 6 & 7 (Amplified) it says, ⁶ For the Lord corrects and disciplines everyone whom He loves, and He punishes, even scourges, every son whom He accepts and welcomes to His heart and cherishes.⁷ You must submit to and endure [correction] for discipline; God is dealing with you as with sons. For what son is there whom his father does not [thus] train and correct and discipline?

Therefore, I will end this the way that I began. I talk about God so much in my writing’s because He saves me from myself and continues to save me. He is truly a good God. If you don’t know the Lord, then I implore you to get to know Him. He is gentle like cotton and He is sweet like candy. Taste and see that the Lord is good!

God Bless,

Scriptures:

³ Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.

Psalm 145:3 (KJV)

⁸ O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good! Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who trusts and takes refuge in Him.

Psalm 34:8 (Amplified)

⁹ Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

¹⁰ For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation.

Romans 10:9 & 10 (Amplified)

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Romans 1:16 (KJV)

Living Beyond Me

When I think about the women in the bible I think to myself, “Wow, they were really strong in different ways.” Most of them didn’t take any nonsense. One woman that stands out to me is the woman with the issue of blood.  This woman had the issue of blood for 12 years and she spent all of her money trying to find a cure for her ailment. Then, she heard that Jesus was coming to town. So, she was determined to meet him. She was taking a huge risk of going to see Jesus because she was considered unclean, due to her ailment. Those who were considered unclean were stoned to death in those times. However, that didn’t stop her from going to get what she was seeking, which was healing.

When she arrived at the place where Jesus was there were a multitude of people surrounding Him. So, the woman pushed her way through the crowd to get close enough and touched the hem of His garment. When the Lord felt His virtue leave His body, He stopped and asked, “Who touched me?!” The woman was trying to get away, but she revealed herself in shame. She told Jesus about her ailment and that she loss everything because of it. But, the Lord said, “Daughter, your faith has made you whole” (Mark 5:25-34 KJV).

In Romans 8:31 (KJV) it says, “If God is for us, who can be against us” right? However, this scripture sounds great to say, but I sometimes have difficulty applying it to my life. At times I have difficulty putting my feelings aside and running with truth. But, after reading the story about the woman with the issue of blood I am having a change of heart. I can’t imagine what she went through, but I know that she had to push aside all of her feelings of fear and anxiety to get to Jesus that day. She had to activate her faith and trust that it would give her the outcome that she was seeking. Therefore, I am choosing to live beyond me. Meaning, I am living beyond my fears, my emotions, my thoughts, my opinions, and all of the things that are trying to hinder me from moving forward in peace and obtain victory. After all the bible does say, “If God is for us, who can be against us”. That means I have the liberty of trusting God to help me get to my destination … So, what are you living beyond?

God Bless,

Before you go, please click the video below to hear a song by Bandon Camphor & One Way called “Chasing”. In my opinion, it’s about trying to do things your way, but you realize that God’s plan is better for you. Therefore, you relinquish your ideas and follow the Lord. ~Live Beyond You!

Scriptures:

²⁵ And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

²⁶ And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

²⁷ When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.

²⁸ For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

²⁹ And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

³⁰ And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

³¹ And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

³² And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

³³ But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

³⁴ And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

Mark 5:25-34 (KJV)

³¹ What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?]

³² He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely andgraciously give us all [other] things?

³³ Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect [when it is] God Who justifies [that is, Who puts us in right relation to Himself? Who shall come forward and accuse or impeach those whom God has chosen? Will God, Who acquits us?]

³⁴ Who is there to condemn [us]? Will Christ Jesus (the Messiah), Who died, or rather Who was raised from the dead, Who is at the right hand of God actually pleading as He intercedes for us?

³⁵ Who shall ever separate us from Christ’s love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity anddistress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword?

³⁶ Even as it is written, For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we are regarded and counted as sheep for the slaughter.

³⁷ Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors^[m]and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us.

³⁸ For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things^[n]impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers,

³⁹ Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:31-39 (Amplified)

¹³ Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

¹⁴ I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3:13 & 14 (KJV)

Just Breathe

 In the bible it states, ¹⁷ Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17, KJV).This means that if I struggle with some things from my past, then I have to understand that I am not that person from my past anymore because the bible says that I am a new creature in Christ. Furthermore, God has given me the authority to overcome my situations and circumstances (Luke 10:19 , 2 Peter 1:3, Amplified). For example, I was writing a paper for one of my classes. While I was writing I started getting anxious. I used to suffer with anxiety before and after I became saved, due to me not knowing what the bible said about this matter (Philippians 4:6 & 7, Amplified). As a result of the anxiety, I couldn’t find the research that I was seeking to add to my paper.

You could only imagine all of the things that were going through my mind, due to being stuck and not locating the information that I needed. My mind automatically jumped into the abyss of negativity. I started having feelings of anxiety, anger, doubt, and my mind was saying that I couldn’t complete the task. I knew that if I stayed on this train to Funky town, then it would lead to grief and self-pity. So, I had to physically shift my mind and jump on the train of the Holy Spirit. I had to start bringing back to my remembrance what the bible said about me. I started quoting scripture’s, such as “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13, KJV) … “I will not put any confidence or dependence on what I am in the flesh” (Philippians 3:3, Amplified) … “I am more than a conqueror through Him who loved me” (Romans 8:37, KJV). The bible tells us to renew our minds (Romans 12: 1 & 2, KJV). Therefore, I chose to do as the bible said. With me renewing my mind I found out that the word of God is true and I started calming down.

After the episode took place I prayed and went back to work. As a result of me calming down, I had a clear head and found the research needed to complete my paper. This happened because I made a conscious decision to believe that God was still n control of the situation no matter how I felt. But, I had to start speaking differently about the situation in order for things to change (Proverbs 18:21, KJV). If you are dealing with mental anguish or things that go against the word of God, then know that this is not God’s will for your life. Jesus died on the cross so that you and I can have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10, Amplified). Lastly, the bible also states that where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom, 2 Corinthians 3:17, Amplified). This means that you don’t have to be the victim and succumb to your feelings anymore. God is love and He loves you (1 John 4:8. KJV). So, again if you are feeling overwhelmed or having feelings of hopelessness, just breathe and let God breathe His breath of hope and life into you.

God Bless,

⁶ Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (^[b]definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.

⁷ And God’s peace [shall be yours, that ^[c]tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall ^[d]garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6 &7 (Amplified)

³ For we [Christians] are the true circumcision, who worship God in spirit and by the Spirit of God and exult and glory and pride ourselves in Jesus Christ, and put no confidence ordependence [on what we are] in the flesh and on outward privileges and physical advantages and external appearances

Philippians 3:3 (Amplified)

1. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

John 10:10 (Amplified)

¹⁷ Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom).

2 Corinthians 3:17 (Amplified)

⁸ He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

⁹ In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

¹⁰ Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

1 John 4:8-10 (KJV)

Picture Perfect

Now that I am in my early thirties I have been asked the infamous questions, which are “So, are you dating? ... Are you seeing anyone? ... Do you have a boyfriend? … When are you going to settle down?” My response usually is “I am in graduate school right now, so I don’t have time to think about that or I just haven’t met a nice person yet.” But, my real answer is I am waiting on the right person that God has for me. I am not willing to settle for anything less than God’s best. I know that may sound unrealistic or that my standards are too high. But, I am confident that God will deliver His “goods” on my behalf. Nowadays people aren’t willing to wait for their mate. They usually just want to “mate” with any… thing that comes their way.

In my opinion, this is why there is so much divorce in the world today. People treat marriage like they are buying candy from a candy store.  They go in and see all the different shapes, sizes, and flavors and they purchase the candy that appeals to them. Then, when they get home and unwrap their candy, they realize that it wasn’t the flavor that they really wanted, or the flavor that they purchased tastes terrible. So, they throw it away and get something else another day. This compares to marriage because people who rush in or get tired of “waiting” usually ends up this way. The husband or wife show their true selves after the wedding day and after a while they both can’t compromise anymore or they get tired of one another. All of a sudden the “gift” that they’ve unwrapped from God is no longer a gift, but a headache. So, they see divorce as an escape and they start searching for another mate.

This is why I choose to wait patiently on the Lord to: (1) help me understand what I really want in someone else, (2) prepare for my mate , and (3) learn who my mate is when he comes by understanding his character and being content with him as a person. If you are willing to wait and let the Lord develop you in the area of marriage, then the picture that you have in your mind will line up with the image that God already has for you. Therefore, your picture will be perfect in His sight!

God Bless,

²² Wives, be subject (be submissive and adapt yourselves) to your own husbands as [a service] to the Lord.

³³ However, let each man of you [without exception] love his wife as [being in a sense] his very own self; and let the wife see that she respects and reverences her husband [^[f]that she notices him, regards him, honors him, prefers him, venerates, and esteems him; and ^[g]that she defers to him, praises him, and loves and admires him exceedingly].

Ephesians 5:22&33 (Amplified)
