"It's Not The Clothes"

When Joseph reached his brothers, they ripped off the fancy coat he was wearing, grabbed him, and threw him into a cistern.The cistern was dry; there wasn’t any water in it. Then they sat down to eat their supper....

Genesis 37:23‭-‬27 MSG

They had the nerve to sit down  and eat supper after physically assaulting their brother; as if, they had done nothing wrong.

I think it's safe to say...At this point, Joseph's brothers had no conscience. Hate had taken over their mind, jealousy had completely consumed  them.

So much so, that they actually thought, if they got rid of the fancy coat Joseph was always wearing that would somehow stop the favor the Father had placed on his life.

SOMEBODY right now....

There are people who hate the way you dress. They are jealous of the fancy clothes you wear. They think that you think, you are more than them because of the way you dress.

Little do they know...It's not the clothes. You could show up wearing jeans & a t-shirt every day and still be just as favored in the eyes of the Lord.

You see, The bible says, Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, BECAUSE he had been born to him in his old age....

Genesis 37:3 NIV

Think About It: 

Any one of them could have been born when Joseph was born, but GOD chose him, positioned him at birth to be the one favored, to be "the favorite".

So, If you reading this, stop apologizing, stop feeling like you have to apologize for being favored, for being "the favorite" in the family etc.

You are right where God positioned you. Let them have the clothes, tell them where you shop, take them shopping, if need be, but They Will NEVER BE YOU.

Why? Because what they're looking to obtain is not in the clothes (It's Not ON YOU) and they certainly won't receive the  favor (they desire) from the Lord by hating on you, by being jealous of you, by trying to destroy you.

Again, They Will NEVER BE YOU. No matter how hard they try. Eventually, Their own stupidity is going to tire them out both physically & mentally. 

Beloved, You Got THIS!!

"The Real Gift Giver"

After they had gone, Joseph had another dream. An angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, “Get up now and flee to Egypt. Take Mary and the little child and stay there until I tell you to leave, for Herod intends to search for the child to kill him.” So that very night he got up and took Jesus and his mother and made their escape to Egypt and remained there until Herod died.

Matthew 2:13‭-‬15 TPT

Beloved, Pay close attention to the dreams you've been having lately...Because everything in this season is not jolly, filled with love or mistletoe kisses.

Don't miss what God is trying to tell you in this season...Don't be so focused on buying gifts (you can't afford) that you miss what the real gift giver is trying to tell you.

God so loved the world that HE GAVE His only begotten Son....

John 3:16 KJV

So, That makes Him the real gift giver 🎁 and one of the ways He speaks is through dreams according to Job 33:15 CEV.

A lot of times, Dreams are to warn us of the devil's devices - what he wants to do, is doing or will do (if given the opportunity).

Therefore, I'm telling you to not just wraps gifts, but PRAY and seek to unwrap the revelations that are there in your dreams....What is God saying specifically to you and your family?

And like Joseph be quick to obey. Just think, If Joseph had not been paying attention to his dream life...What could have possibly happened to his family.

Weapons form but they don't prosper...Not when you're praying, paying attention and you are ready & willing to be obedient in any season. Amen!!

"You're Close"

While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”

Mark 5:35 NIV

Just when Jairus was close to receiving the miracle he needed for his daughter...The devil used people from his own house to be a distraction, to bring him the worst news possible.

SOMEBODY: You're close to your miracle now...That's why things around you have gotten worse; but don't let that or them be a distraction to your faith.

You see, Some around you are asking, "Why?" Why bother the teacher anymore? In other words, Why do you even pray? Why bother?  Why are you still taking time out of your day to be close to GOD, to pray to Him when nothing is changing, things for you have actually gotten worse?

1. They can't see.

2. They don't know the meaning of being faithful. 

The bible tells us to:

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Romans 12:12 NIV

So, BELOVED, Do me a favor...Ignore them. You're close, too close to your miracle to let them distract you, to let them alter what you have been doing all this time.

Therefore, I encourage you to continue doing what the bible says, Be faithful in prayer...Keep on coming to Him faithfully in prayer. Make your prayer time your "daily date" time with the Father.

If married couples can have date night...Why can't you have a "daily date" time with the Father?

Aside from that, be patient in affliction....Be patient in the midst of what you're going through because you're miracle is close. You're close to seeing what you've been asking GOD for. Don't be distracted, not now, you're too close.

"Be Where You Are Called"

When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, “Surely the Lord’s anointed stands here before the Lord.” But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him...

1 Samuel 16:6‭-‬7 NIV

Think about it: 

What if God had not rejected Eliab, but allowed Samuel to anoint him the next king (instead of David)  just based on looks? Eliab would have been placed in a position he wasn't prepared for, working a job (like many of you) that inwardly had him miserable. Why? BECAUSE HE'S OUT OF PLACE.

Beloved, It's so important you be where God called you, because the devil is a legalist-meaning if he knows he has a legal right to what he's saying, what he's doing he will continue.

He will continue to use your co-workers against you, continue to use your boss against you because you are out of place and he knows it.

You can't just accept the 1st job offered to you. Do so, and you will live to regret it.

Samuel, even though, he was a prophet couldn't see that Eliab was not the right fit for the position of king. If God hadn't spoke up and stopped him....

Samuel would have anointed Eliab for a job he wasn't prepared to handle just because he looked the part.

So, What am I saying to you today?...Don't let nobody put you in a position you can't handle and be so kind, as to not, do it to yourself either.

Always consult GOD and NOT Man before making any major moves, before making any major decisions. He knows what's best for you and He is THE ONE who will teach you how to profit according to Isaiah 48:17 NKJ & NIV

God will teach you how to profit, you just be where He called you.

Stop worrying about who got that position and why....They make that job look easy because that's where THEY BELONG. Find out...Ask GOD where you belong. Your gift is still capable of making room for you.

"Forgive NOW!!"

When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

Luke 23:33‭-‬34 NKJV 

When they came to the place called the Skull- another name for skull would be cranium or head. That's when they crucified Jesus...That's when they nailed Him to The Cross. It was a mental attack that turned physical.

But it was from there, in the midst of mental & physical suffering that Jesus asked forgiveness for those WHO HAD DONE THIS TO HIM, even though in that moment they were casting lots (gambling) to see who would get the very clothes He had on, leaving Him NAKED, violated.  

They violated Jesus by exposing the private parts of his body for all to see...And if you have ever been abused, then you know the humiliation,  the shame.

But still, Jesus asked that they be forgiven while He was still on The Cross able to feel EVERY THING they had done to Him. He didn't wait until the pain had subsided, or some time had passed.

No, Jesus asked that they be forgiven EVEN THOUGH, HE KNEW they would still do Him wrong. 

BELOVED,  It's time we were more like Jesus...It's time we stopped waiting to see if that person actually has changed and forgive them EVEN THOUGH THE CROSS- the pain of what they did is still visible. 

God forgave us when we were STILL sinners, STILL His enemies. See Rom 5:6-8 (NCV) According to Philip 3:18 AMP: When we reject or oppose His way of salvation, we are His enemies. 

So, If God could forgive us, knowing they we were His enemies and Jesus  ask forgiveness for those who had wronged him....Why can't we have mercy on those who have hurt us?

So many unanswered questions keeping you awake at night.

You have so much you need to get out, so much you need to talk about, but you're holding it in because your loved one is no longer here to talk to, to answer your questions. 

My heart goes out to you. I know your pain all too well....

But BELOVED you can ask the Holy Spirit any thing you would have asked your mom, your dad, your sister or your brother (whoever it is that's deceased).

Ask the Holy Spirit....

Remember the Holy Spirit  of God says, Ask me, and I will tell you things that you don't know and can't find out.

Jeremiah 33:3 CEV

In another passage of scripture the Bible let's us know: It's the things that the eye have not seen, the things the ear has not heard that is revealed to us by the Holy Spirit. 

1 Corin 2:9-10 NKJV

But we are so used to asking God for material stuff, for material wealth that we forget that asking could also mean getting an answer to some questions that have been weighing heavy on our mind.

SOMEBODY: God wants you free, no longer burden by unanswered questions in the middle of the night.

The CEV puts it plain & simple... It says, His Spirit finds out everything, even what is deep in the mind of God.

1 Samuel 17:26 NIV

Ask and it will be given to you.

Matt 7:7 NKJV

Beloved, You didn't go through that just come out empty- headed and empty- handed.

God is about to bring forth re-payment.

“I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten— says the Lord."

Joel 2:25 NIV

Just like David fighting off lions and bears was God's way of training him to face Goliath. 

Don't think the tears you've sheded in this season and the last were just wasted moments.

No, You were learning often  through a tear -stained face to face that Goliath (that thing) that was bigger than you. 

Things came up that were bigger than you, but even on your worst day...Nothing could overpower you because of GOD in you.

He is the one who gives you the strength you need to do whatever you must do.

Philippians 4:13 ERV

So, From day to day, It's been God. He has been there...When friends and family have not, God has been there and there is NOTHING  you can ask Him that too intrusive or personal.

You need answers to move forward . So, Like David, Don't be ashamed to ask. There are no silly questions or naive questions. Just ask what you must because  re-payment is coming.

Now if [all these things are true, then be sure] the Lord knows how to rescue the godly out of temptations and trials, and how to keep the ungodly under chastisement until the day of judgment and doom,

2 Peter 2:9 AMPC

Sometimes we (as humans) we  cause our own selves to worry. 

Because we sit up and we worry about stuff that is not our business, but it is God's business.

For example: We worry about  how God is going to help us, but at the same time NOT let that person who hurt us get away...If you're honest, you know we do that.

But Beloved, I'm here to tell you...God is the ultimate multi-tasker, He knows how to  successfully accomplish more than one thing at a time.

So, There is no need for you to worry because God knows how to rescue you (the godly) out of temptations and trials, but He also says, He knows how to keep the ungodly under chastisement until the day of judgment and doom.

He knows how to do both!!

Simply put...Judgment and doom is coming to the ungodly people who hurt you, if they don't repent. So, no need to worry about that.

You just make sure your posture is right before the Lord and YOU'RE NOT REJOICING when you see what God is doing against your enemies (against those who hurt you).

Remember, the bible tells us to not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice, or the Lord will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from them.

"I Am A Gift"

And the rib which the Lord God had taken from the man He made (fashioned, formed) into a woman, and He brought her and presented her to the man.

Genesis 2:22 AMP

The bible says, God presented Eve to Adam....She was a gift God gave to him. Otherwise, He could have just handed her over to Adam and walked away.

The fact that God took the time to bring her to Adam and THEN present her to him says a lot.

1st of all it says that: God cares about the way you are treated...If that man is treating you like LESS than a gift. That's not what God intended.

Eve was given to Adam in the form of a presentation...Which means that Adam had to receive her. 

He couldn't just wait her to make the first move towards a relationship. He had to receive her in THE SAME SPIRIT in which she was given.

So, Adam received THE GIFT of Eve by saying, “This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh..." (And here we have the 1st marriage).

See Genesis 2:23-24 AMP

2nd: If you don't feel like you're a part of something special, or something that has the potential to be special...YOU HAVE NOT BEEN PROPERLY RECEIVED!! You have illegally joined yourself to something that was never God's Will.

Somebody Say It With Me:

"I Am A Gift"  This is what the Lord begin to minister to me a few nights ago about seeing myself as a gift. I am to be presented and received. I am to go from GOD to man....Not from  man to man to man (That's what messed the woman in John 4 up emotionally).

You are to go from GOD to man...Not from man to man to man. There's a reason why the bible says, You are fearfully and wonderfully made. 

Psalms 139:14 NIV

"Show Up"

David strapped on a sword and tried to walk around, but he was not used to wearing those things. “I can't move with all this stuff on,” David said. “I'm just not used to it.” (So) David took off the armor and picked up his shepherd's stick. He went out to a stream and picked up five smooth rocks and put them in his leather bag. Then with his sling in his hand, he went straight toward Goliath.
1 Samuel 17:39‭-‬40 CEV

To sum it all up...Basically, In the words of Casting Crowns: "David showed up with a rock to a sword fight."

Do you know how much you have to trust God in order to show up with nothing, but a rock in your hand when you know your enemy has a sword?

That's what David did. He knew Goliath had a sword. The same sword that he rejected, but still he showed up.

Though the odds were against him, David showed up. He didn't let fear talk him out of showing up. He didn't waste time comparing himself to Goliath. None of that mattered. All that mattered was that he showed up.

See, Sometimes Beloved, You have to show up when you know things don't look good, show up afraid with butterflies in your stomach because you have no idea what to expect; just show up.

Don't be fearful. Why be fearful of wasn't hasn't happened yet?....But show up, trusting that the God that made a way for you last time will do the same this time.

The size of the giant you're facing doesn't matter.  How many people are siding with  your enemy against you doesn't matter. The words,  the insults, the diagnosis none of that is God's response or His final answer concerning you.

Remember this, Goliath believed in the power of what HE  could do, and talked a good game UNTIL David believing in the power of HIS GOD showed up and shut his mouth.

Read 1 Samuel 17:33-50 CEV and be encouraged....
It's time for you to show up....

Luke 18:1 CEV

While you are certainly not a child in age anymore, you are still a child, a child of God.

So, Imagine how comforting it would be to have your Lord and Savior there at your bedside, telling you a story about praying and never giving up....Much better than the childhood stories you know and remember growing up, huh?

No Prince or Princesses, Castles or Magic fairy dusk, but just the tried and proven method of praying; how praying will strengthen you  and keep you, if you don't give up.

Imagine Jesus telling you about how when He walked this earth as a man to avoid stress, to avoid depression, to avoid getting burnt out in the midst of His assignment...He would get alone with the Father often to pray according to
Luke 5:16 NIV

Imagine Jesus telling you about the time He spent all night in the presence of the Father and the miracles that took place because of the prayer life He had while here on earth.
Luke 6:12 NIV

Would that make you feel encouraged enough to seek a deeper prayer life? Would that encourage you to keep going in prayer and NEVER give up no matter what happens or doesn't happen around you?

“Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
Matthew 14:25-‬29 NIV

Think about this with me:
What if Peter wasn't the ONLY ONE feeling the urge to get out that boat, after seeing Jesus walk on water...But he was  just the ONLY ONE who spoke up and said something?

Beloved, It's time you spoke up for yourself. What is it you're shying away from because noone else in your inner circle is doing it?

Say what you want and move towards it....You are not having the urge to move, to get out of what you're in, to chart new territory for nothing. Now is the time!!

You can't afford to worry about whose not willing to come with you in this season...If they want to come, but don't come, then that's on them.

Peter didn't base his decision on people...He based his decision on how he was feeling and the fact that Jesus said, "Come." When Jesus said, "Come" that was all the validation he needed.

So, Let the journey begin...
Get out the boat.
Walk by faith (2 Corin 5:7)
And remember,
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

While Jesus was in one of the cities, there came a man covered with [an advanced case of] leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean and well.” And Jesus reached out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately the leprosy left him.

Luke 5:12‭-‬13 AMP

It's obvious you need help, but nobody is willing to take the time to reach out to you...So, You decided to drop your pride and ask for help... ONLY to discover that you don't qualify for government assistance and you have NO FRIENDS or family that is wiling to help.

What do you do? Where do you go when the government, family & friends alike won't help you? 

You go to Jesus. The same Jesus that reached out his hand to a man with (advanced) leprosy has His hand out for you, willing to assist you.

And His hand is NOT prejudice nor does His hand wait to see if you qualify for help, before helping you.

The man had an advanced case of leprosy meaning his situation was as bad as it could get...But yet, Jesus was willing to offer him a hand.

So, Why wouldn't He give you a hand too? All your situation needs is a touch from Jesus. One touch from Jesus and your finances will be healed, your bank account will stop looking malnourished, your refrigerator and cabinets, your entire house will be in overflow. 

If Jesus would allow Peter to find the money they needed (in a fish's mouth) to pay their taxes...What makes you think He can't supernaturally bless you when you aren't even expecting it?

And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.

Luke 22:41‭-‬44 NIV

Sometimes what you want is not what you need, nor is what you need always what you want.

Do you think Jesus wanted to go to The Cross? It took a lot out of Him to surrender His will (surrender what He wanted) to the Father...But He knew he had to do it for YOU and for ME.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16 NIV

Jesus literally had the weight of THE WORLD on his shoulders....Everybody's life was depending on Him and the decision he would make.

Think About It:

Where would we be, if He had said, "No" to The Cross?

Somebody I know you can relate...You have people who  depend on you making the right decision too.

Every day,  every week, every month seems like you are always sacrificing what you want for the good of someone else.

As parents feel for their children, GOD feels those who fear him.

She looked and all she could see was NOTHING...

Nothing in the kitchen, nothing in the cabinets, nothing but a jar of oil.

But Elisha looked in the same house and said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few. And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones.”

II Kings 4:3‭-‬4 NKJV

2 Chronicles 34:1‭-‬2 NIV

Where are the adults who will listen to the cry of the children?

God had to believe that there was a remnant who would listen to the children or He wouldn't have appointed Josiah, king at just 8 years old.

If God believed an 8 year old's words, a 8 year old's thoughts were good enough to be shared in a leadership role...

What's wrong with us?

How have we strayed so far away from the example set before us in Scripture?

Parents: Stop taking the word of an adult just because they are "adult."...Listen to your children.

NO CHILD should have to verbally fight, should have to struggle to be heard especially in their own home..."Listen Linda, Listen!!"

Listen to their words, to their thoughts, to how they feel about certain people WITHOUT PUSHING your own opinion off on them.

A lot of wrong behavior AGAINST CHILDREN goes undetected in families, in single parent homes, in schools because NO ONE wants to really stop talking and listen to the children.

We want them to listen to us, to respect us, but shouldn't we do the same? The bible tells children to honor their father & mother; but it also says for the  father to not provoke them....It's about showing mutual respect.

"Do You Love You?"

If so, stop trying to pass your insecurities about yourself onto God, because it's obvious that He doesn't feel about you the way that you feel about you.

He's not critiquing every little thing about you, trying to find fault with you.

No, God sees you as fearfully and wonderfully made, HOWEVER it is that you were made.

Psalm 139:14  NIV

It doesn't matter. God has a blind spot where you are concerned and He only sees what He wants to see about you. His opinion is not influenced in NO WAY by your opinion of you or others opinion of you. You are the apple of His eye....PERIOD!!

Psalm 17:8 NIV

So much so, that God says:

But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.

Deuteronomy 4:29 NIV

Now, THERE could be not the best looking place for you right now mentally, physically, or spiritually. Still from there, looking however you look, feeling however you feel...

You can find God...If you seek Him with all your heart, with all your soul. In other words, If you sincerely seek Him, you will find Him.

Why? Because the question is NOT does God love you...

But do you love you?

Think About It!!

"Hear Me"

My dear brothers and sisters, always be more willing to listen than to speak....

James 1:19 ERV

How many times have you just wanted them to hear you out; to stop talking and just hear you out?..You needed to be heard, you just wanted to be heard.

Instead, They disrespected you by not pausing long enough to hear you, to listen to  what you had to say.

A lot of marriages could be healed, if as a coupled you learned to listen.

A lot of parent/child issues could be healed, if you (the parent) would just learn to listen and really hear what your child is saying. 

Parents just because you're older that doesn't (automatically) make you wiser. 

The bible says, Jesus grew in wisdom...And if Jesus had to grow in wisdom, so do you.

Luke 2:52 NIV

Listen...Stop talking and listen.

Everybody just wants to be heard and everybody deserves to be heard, to have their voice matter, their opinion valued.  

Think about this:

It was not Hagar (the mother's cry) that the angel heard and  came in response to.....

In Genesis 21: The bible clearly let's us know that God has no problem acknowledging a child's cry...Because the angel responded to the cry, to the voice of Hagar's son, Ishmael and not Hagar. 

Genesis 21:17 NIV

Hear Me...Stop talking and listen. It's important!! Because they do have something to say.

And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, when she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

Mark 5:25‭-‬28 KJV

SOMEBODY: The devil has you believing that it's not going to happen for you because you have NO MONEY and there are too many issues currently going on with you.

Instead of doubling down of your faith and letting the devil know "ALL things are possible to those who believe."

Mark 9:23 NKJV

You waste valuable time, thinking about how the last thing you tried didn't work.

God says: Tell you, the last was the last...That's the last time you will feel helpless, like there is nothing more you can do.

Beloved, 

You are not helpless...When the woman the issue of blood had tried all she could, and the money she had was gone...

She decided-You shall decide (decree) a thing and it will be established for you. Job 22:28 AMP

She decided to reach out to Jesus, not try to approach someone and ask for a loan; hoping they would risk coming in contact with her. 

She made a decision to reach out to Jesus.

"You Frustrate Me"

Jesus began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. He spoke this word openly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. But when He had turned around and looked at His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”

Mark 8:31-33 NKJV

Have you ever had a friend who you didn't see eye to eye with? You were thinking and speaking in line with the things of God....But they were thinking and responding back to you like the world.

So frustrating...It can be frustrating because you love them, but at the same time, you can't allow the foolishness that's coming out of their mouth to be a hindrance to you and what you know God has said.

Jesus knew what God said would happen. So, He had to rebuke that demonic Spirit that rose up in Peter.

Beloved, Stop entertaining Spirits that need to be rebuked

(reprimanded) or they will become a stronghold in your life - someone or something that's holding you back from your next level in God.

Peter may have meant well and all, not wanting Jesus to go through any type of pain.

But here's the thing, the devil often uses people close to you as a weapon against you, when he knows your destiny is greater than you.

Jesus destiny to save us all was greater than Him, and His destiny for you is greater than just you.

Therefore, According to Isaiah 54:17 you have the legal right to condemn (to shut down) any tongue that rises up against you...Your destiny will not be thwarted.

"Puzzle Pieces"

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

Romans 8:28 NLT

See your life as a bunch of puzzle pieces, all scrambled up and scattered out. Every choice you make, every decision you make; you look at your current circumstances and pray that you made the right move.

What you don't know is that ALL these specific puzzle pieces have been assigned to your life and God will cause every bit of it to work together.

I'm reminded of Acts 27: How some of the people who were ship wrecked with the Apostle Paul, ended up making it to shore on the pieces that were broken.Though the pieces were broken and leftover in the water...STILL it was enough to get them to shore; no lives were lost.

BELOVED, What you have is enough....Everything is STILL going to work out. It doesn't look good or feel good right now, but God.

Think about this: It was God who caused it ALL to work out for Joseph in Egypt. Though he had to live with being lied on, falsely accused, and the stain of a prison record....

Genesis 39, Genesis 41

And that same God that did it for Joseph will do it for you now. He doesn't have to change a thing about what you're going through because it's all working together FOR YOU. 

You will see...

Elevation is coming.

Promotion is coming.

"Hurting In Silence"

In Matthew 14:

Jesus cousin, John the Baptist was beheaded (murdered).

John's disciples came and took his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus. When Jesus heard what had happened, HE WITHDREW by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick....And so, He never really got the opportunity to grieve. 

Matthew 14:1-14 NIV

Notice how in the text, the 1st thing Jesus did upon hearing about the death of his cousin was WITHDREW- He wanted to be alone to mentally process what he had just heard, mentally process what he was feeling.

So, He WITHDREW by boat privately- which again indicates that He wanted to be alone in that moment.

Because remember Jesus was BOTH God & Man when He walked this earth.

The bible says, He was a man acquainted with grief...

So, He had feelings. 

Isaiah 53:3 NKJ

But Here's the thing, NO ONE ever thinks to check on those of us who are strong.

Jesus was strong, but he could have used a hug in that moment. 

Instead, There was a crowd there when he landed, waiting to receive from Him.

They needed Him, but not one of them stopped to think, even for a second...If Jesus could have needed something from them as well.

People just automatically think because you are the giving type, the nurturing type...You don't need to be given to, checked on etc.

And just like so many of us...

Jesus ended up pushing what he was feeling aside, to be there for everyone else.

Beloved, Jesus understands all to well, what it feels like to have so much pressure on you, trying to be there for EVERYONE to the point that you neglect your own needs.

How I wished I could have hugged Jesus in that moment...Just been there with Him in that  moment, and backed the crowd off for a few minutes; enough to allow Him to feel, to process the tragic news He had just heard.

Then I heard Jesus say via

His Holy Spirit....

If you want to hug me...

Embrace my body.

Think about it....

When you hug somebody you are literally embracing that person's body.

But how do we Embrace the body of Jesus?

Then I remembered....

The words Jesus said at the last supper. 

and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body."

1 Corin 11:24 NKJ

Therefore, We embrace the body of Jesus, we hug Him  during our times of communion with Him. 🍞🍷

“I am weary, God, but I can prevail.

Proverbs 30:1 NIV

The bible says that these are the words of a man named Agur... But how many of you feel just like Agur?

You're weary right now, but deep down...You STILL know you can prevail (come out victorious) over whatever has been opposing you.

And so, you press on...

Those around you have no idea you're smiling, but weary.

Those around you have no idea how close you were to quitting, to giving up, to throwing in the towel.

Then like David, you remembered all the things, all the situations, all the people God has delivered you from in the past and you realized that this lion, this bear would be no different.

1 Samuel 17:34-37 NIV

So, little by little you find yourself giving your weariness to the God who created you.

Because deep down you STILL refuse to let weariness have a permanent place in your life,

causing you to miss out on the harvest that is to come in due season.

You've been too good too long, doing what pleased The Father to lose it all to weariness.

Remember, The bible says:

Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in.

Galatians 6:9 AMP

In other words...Keep on fighting, BELOVED because Jesus himself said that if you would come to HIM in a time of weariness...He would give you rest.

Joseph couldn't have been happy with the way his brothers treated him; how they made fun of him for dreaming, throwed him in the pit and had no problem selling him like he was something in the produce section. Then he was lied on by Potiphar's wife and imprisoned; made to have a criminal record even though he was innocent. All this occurred to put Josepn in position to be the governor of Egypt, to save lives, to keep his family during the famine etc.

That's why you should NEVER be jealous of someone else's success. You don't  know the cost they had to pay to be who they are today.

Jesus when He was on The Cross cried out:

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish?

Psalms 22:1 NIV

The (CEV) says,

My God, my God, why have you deserted me? Why are you so far away? Won't you listen to my groans and come to my rescue?

Psalms 22:1 CEV

Jesus spoke out of the pain, out of the anguish He was feeling in that moment. It hurt Him so bad to be separated from THE FATHER,.Thank goodness it was only temporary. 

NOW, Think about a time when you spoke out of the emotions you were feeling in that moment. God understands,

God understands...And somebody you need to know that He forgives you...

But it's up to you to forgive yourself, and move past it.

People may have a hard  time forgiving you for words you have spoken out of  the emotions you were feeling in the moment....BUT NOT GOD!

It's much easier for GOD to forgive you than people because He knows you in a way that they never will.

He knew what you were going to say BEFORE you said it according to Psalm 139:4 NIV

Knowing just somehow makes the process of forgiving easier.

You are forgiven....But that doesn't mean you are exempt from the need to repent.

Because you are NOT!!

Holy Spirit will let you know if and when you've went too far, crossed a line and need to repent....

And when they came to the place which is called The Skull [Latin: Calvary; Hebrew: Golgotha], there they crucified Him, and [along with] the criminals, one on the right and one on the left. And Jesus prayed, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And they divided His garments and distributed them by casting lots for them. [Ps. 22:18.]

Luke 23:33‭-‬34 AMPC

Jesus said, "Forgive them" ....

Not forgive them and then go back and let them hurt you again, let them abuse you again. 

No, The mandate was simply to forgive them....You don't have to take them back, or be in their presence to forgive them.  

You might not ever be like you were about them, feel like you once did about them and that's okay. Stuff happens and feelings change.

But real forgiveness involves the posture of your heart.

What does your heart look like towards that person?

Remember, God is looking at your heart. 1 Samuel 16:7.

So, Don't lie. Are you healed enough to forgive or is bitterness STILL at the core of EVERYTHING you say when their name comes up in conversation?

Beloved, Jesus is NOT asking you to sacrifice yourself and your feelings for them.

Absolutely NOT!!

Notice how Jesus asked the Father to forgive them...Even though, they had just hurt him, crucified Him, but HE NEVER said he would be WILLING to sacrifice Himself on The Cross again for them.

So, He's not asking you to sacrifice yourself or your feelings for that person either. 

But Beloved, You do need to forgive and release; forgive them and release them from the chopping board you got them on. They are NOT yours to punish.

 They don't know how to love you or even how to love themselves, and if they don't give themselves to GOD; they never will. 

Leah wanted Jacob to love her so bad...But here's the thing, Jacob came from a family of tricksters....His mother (Rebekah) taught him how to trick his Father and his Uncle Laban (his mother's brother) had just tricked him into marrying his daughter, Leah.

So, What are the chances of Jacob (a born trickster) being honest with Leah about his feelings? 

Because the bible says, 

Jacob made love to Rachel also, and his love for Rachel was greater than his love for Leah....

Genesis 29:14-30 NIV

But was it really love he was feeling for either woman?

Or was it lust?

Think about it!!

He had two women (two sisters) in competition over him)...A competition he could have ended had he just been honest; finished the bridal week out with Leah and then just left her alone, but he didn't do that.

So, Leah kept getting pregnant; hoping to win her husband's heart.

Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them. Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”

Acts 3:2‭-‬6 NIV

Peter & John didn't have financial wealth to give, but yet they were NOT WILLING to leave this man in a lame condition, trying to fend for himself. So, They gave him what they had and what they had was healing.

SOMEBODY reading this today: If you have a father who is not financially wealthy, but he has NEVER left you in a lame condition, trying to fend for yourself....

But he has ALWAYS stepped up and given you the best he had to offer....

You should honor the gift, God has given you in him.

Just knowing your father was there (he is there) should be  reason enough...When so many of us have a father who is absent, who has always been absent. 

But NOT your father, no matter what, you know he has always tried. It may not have been silver & gold- the best of material things....

But your father has always been there. He has always tried to be a God-fearing man like Peter & John.

AND like MOST God-fearing, responsible MEN...

Your father could be found praying for ways to provide and NOT be a disappointment to his family.

How do you feel about finally being able to move?

How do you feel about a possible status change?

How do you feel about finally being able to socialize with a whole, new group of people?

Isaiah 53:7 NIV

Do you know how much strength it takes to NOT open your mouth and say something when you know you have EVERY right to?

Jesus had EVERY right to open his mouth and say something when he was being oppressed, when he was being afflicted, but He didn't; he didn't open his mouth. Instead, He chose to remain silent.

Jesus choosing to remain silent and NOT say what His flesh possibly wanted to say in that moment is a HUGE LESSON for us in strength, in maturity, in disciplining ourselves... Because as His disciples we can't just haul off and say whatever we want, at any given time.

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. James 1:19 NIV

And that takes strength....

We would all do well though to remember the words of the Apostle Paul:

Genesis 3:6 NIV

She took some of the fruit and ate it, and she then gave some to her husband and he ate it as well. 

Be careful who you take food from, be careful who you take things from in general, especially when God told you not to.

You see, It was AFTER eating the fruit that the eyes of both Adam & Eve were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. 

It was AFTER eating the fruit that the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from Him.

AND it was AFTER eating the fruit that the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”

And God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”

Genesis 3:7‭-‬11 NIV

My question to you is what have you eaten, what have you took part in that has caused you to change?

Like Adam & Eve, you used to rely on God for EVERYTHING, but now that your eyes have been opened (enlighten)...Somehow you think you know enough now to fix things yourself.

You used to be bold, confident in the Lord. You used to welcome the sound of His voice, you used to be listening  for His input, but now you're afraid to even have Him come close.

"Jesus Ate"

While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

Matthew 9:10‭-‬12 NIV

Jesus ate with sinners because they needed him to be down -to- earth and approachable.They needed him, the tax collectors needed him to be a real person....

That does not mean He treated them like his best friends or that He felt the need to tell them everything in order to fellowship with them.

Some of y'all, don't know how far to go with people. You always end up talking too much to the wrong people, giving them way too much access into your private life.

In order to truly be like Jesus, you must learn how to be in this world, but not of it. (John 17:16, Rom 12:2 NIV).

Jesus was with them, but he was never like them. He didn't sell out who he was, he didn't change up on God, trying to fit in with them.

He ate with them which implies that they got to see him be human, because we all have to eat....

But what was it that made them feel welcomed in Matthew’s home to begin with?

What was it that made them feel comfortable eating with Jesus of all people?

The answer: Love & kindness. The bible says; With lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

Jere 31:3 KJV

It was love & kindness that drew sinners and tax collectors to Jesus...Not him gossiping and trying to fit in and do what they do.

If you want to make a difference for real in people's lives and represent Christ well.

●You must be down-to-earth.

●You must be approachable. ●You must show love & kindness.

●You must let people see you NOT gossiping, NOT trying to fit in. 

●Give them limited access, but make them feel like it's unlimited; like they have all the time in the world.

●In other words, BE PATIENT WITH PEOPLE.

"Toxic Relationships"

When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

Genesis 3:6 NIV

Still the bible says, Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.(1 Timothy 2:14 NIV) which means Adam knowingly went against what he knew God had said out of love for his wife, who was now dabbling in sin. 

Toxic!! Adam & Eve's relationship was toxic. Any time you love someone or something more than you love God, and being obedient to His Word. That's toxic.

You see, The fruit that Eve gave Adam to eat represents sin, because it was what God told them NOT to do. It also represents how good & pleasing to the flesh sin can be for a season.

But as the man (as the head of the household) Adam's mouth was supposed to be a place of divine authority.

So, Had He thought to pull Eve away from the serpent and reminded her of the Word of the Lord...Maybe, Things would have been different for her, for him, for the children that would be born to them, and for us; those of us who would be alive after the fall. 

Genesis 3.

Ladies: That's what you should want. A man who does not buckle, but takes authority over his household, over the atmosphere in his household.

A man who KNOWS & reminds  you of the Word of the Lord.

ESPECIALLY on a day like today; on Mother's Day.

He is not supposed to be caught up in sin with you or anyone else, but he should be  (encouraging  you), praising you, the children should be blessing you for change they can see in you. 

Proverbs 31: 28 NKJ

You are becoming a Proverbs 31 woman more & more, day by day. 

Happy Mother's Day!!

Until Next Sunday.

"Don't Feed Into It"

Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, “May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them.”

1 Kings 19:1‭-‬2 NIV

Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done...

And just like she was told everything that had happened PRIOR to her threatening him...

I'm sure Jezebel was told  everything that happened AFTER she threatened Elijah as well.

How Elijah was now afraid for his life, and had fallen into depression and wanted to die.

It's sad, but people like Jezebel just love to sit back and observe; waiting for a chance to say something or do something that will cause you to have a negative reaction.

That's what they want...They want to get a reaction out of you. Don’t feed into the negativity. 

Notice from 1 Kings 19 how Jezebel was bold with her threat. Notice also that she didn't kill Elijah despite what she said she would do.

The point is this: Don’t let people play with your mind, Don't let people manipulate you into the thinking the wrong things; manipulate you into feeling some kinda way.

You are covered in the blood of Jesus and NO WEAPON  physically or mentally formed  will prosper, NOT against your body, and NOT against your mind. It won't prosper.

God has not given you a spirit of fear. (2 Timothy 1:7 NKJ)

So, Let them talk, let that demonic spirit talk....

You have the right to condemn every tongue that rises up against you according to Isaiah 54:17 NKJ.

Just like God kept sending an angel to strengthen Elijah, because it was not his time to  leave this earth....

God will keep sending you strength. You will make it through this attack, UNTOUCHED. To God be the glory!!

I can hear God saying, Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.

Psalm 105:15, 1 Chron 16:22

Until Next Sunday.
