"The Truth Hurts"

Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.

Matthew 26:75 NIV

It's one thing to hurt over a lie that was told on you....

But when you're hurting over THE TRUTH that was spoken to you, that's something totally different.

In the text, Peter got reminded of THE TRUTH, Jesus had spoken to him and it hurt.

The truth hurts, because the truth forces you to face reality.

And some of ya'll are so afraid of  facing reality, afraid of what you will discover within yourself, if you let yourself honestly see you.

Peter discovered that he wasn't as BOLD in his faith as he thought he was.

Peter discovered that he could easily be pressured into disowning Jesus, pressured into turning his back on Jesus and it hurt.

Beloved, What truth are you yet to face?

If I had to guess, I would say, you're not as strong as you think you are or you pretend to be.

You have a weakness, a thorn in your flesh that you're constantly fighting. (2 Corin 12:6-9) Because, if you don't....

You will discover how easy it is for you to lie, for you to cuss, for you to go back on Your Word and completely deny your faith in Jesus etc....

All the things Peter did. (See Matt 26) that makes him so relatable to those of us, who know we are not perfect, but in need of God's  New Mercies EVERYDAY.

Lam 3:22-23 KJV

You see, Beloved, Peter's reaction to being told THE TRUTH about him disowning Jesus should be a reminder to us all of just what it would be like, if God EVER decided to UNCOVER US and just let us fall, if he ever decided to stop being our support system in this crazy world in which we live.

Think About It and be grateful for the time He has given you to see yourself, correct yourself, better yourself.  To God be the glory!!! Amen 🙏

Until Next Sunday.

"Before You Open Your Mouth"

[38] When they arrived at the house of the ruler of the synagogue, He (JESUS) looked [carefully and with understanding] at [the] tumult and the people weeping and wailing loudly.

*Tumult -a scene of chaotic emotional disturbance.

Mark 5:38 AMPC

I LOVE this scripture so much because Jesus took the time to look carefully at the people, at what was going on. He looked carefully and with understanding.....BEFORE opening His mouth to speak on the situation.

How I wish people would follow Jesus example and CHOOSE to look with understanding or seek to get some understanding about what's going on with people BEFORE feeling qualified to speak on the situation.

And with all you have gotten, get understanding (discernment, comprehension, and interpretation).

Proverbs 4:7 AMPC

If people would just seek to get understanding, to get discernment, to get comprehension, to get an interpretation of what their seeing, BEFORE speaking; just imagine the hurt that could be avoided.

Jesus looked at the people, they were weeping and wailing loudly, and CHOSE NOT to just dismiss their pain like it wasn't happening, but when He did speak on it, after looking (assessing) the situation with understanding.....

He let them know that what they were in an uproar about, what they were weeping about was not a dead situation.

Mark 5:39 AMPC

It's not over yet. You had your moment....Now, Dry your tears.

Until Next Sunday.

"Honor Your Own Uniqueness"

"Honor Your Own Uniqueness"

Can somebody tell me...Why do we feel the urge to always check out the way another person is doing, what they do?

It's as if, checking out the way they do it is suppose to "somehow" help us in what we're doing.

But here's what I love about the #ApostlePaul....When #God saved him, and MADE HIM to be an Apostle...

In scripture the Apostle Paul says:

15 But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace, was pleased

16 to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response was not to consult any human being.

17 I did not go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went into Arabia. Later I returned to Damascus.

Galatians 1:15-17 NIV

His IMMEDIATE  response was not to consult any human being...He didn't go see those who were Apostles before him. That WHOLE Part!!!

Though they had been walking in their calling as an Apostle much longer than him....

👉 He didn't look to them for a pattern to do what he had been called to do.

👉 In other words, He didn't go check them out.

👉 Instead, He trusted the God that called  him and he began to travel, to move, to operate in what he had been called to.

👉 I hope that right there, frees somebody.

👉 Stop trying to pattern yourself after people, looking to see how they do, what they do.

Have you ever stop to think that what works for them, might not work for you?

Yes, It's okay to have #mentors and to learn from them, but EVEN THEN ...You can't do EVERYTHING they do.

God made YOU #unique in your existence for a reason. He doesn't need you to be EXACTLY like anyone else.

The way they lead, conduct business, do this & that is unique to who God made them to be.

For Example: I love Prophetess #JuanitaBynum and consider her a great mentor, among others...BUT I KNOW, I can't do what she does, the way she does it AND THAT'S OKAY.

Honor your own uniqueness.

Trust the God that #called you and get out there.

YOUR GIFT will make room for you.

Proverbs 18:16 NKJ

So, Take your eyes off them....

Comparing yourself is NOT wise.

Until Next Sunday.
