"MORE"

Her husband Elkanah would say to her, “Hannah, why are you weeping? Why don’t you eat? Why are you downhearted? Don’t I mean more to you than ten sons?”

1 Samuel 1:8 NIV

A WORD 4 SOMEBODY:  Even those closest to you, can't understand your heart's desire for more. They can't understand the way you react to the simplest of things lately.  It's not just about you being quarantined either. It's simply about MORE, your heart's desire for more.

But they think, you should just be satisfied with what they're able to give, be satisfied with what you have, as good as you have it... Much like the way, Hannah's husband couldn't understand why he wasn't enough, his love for her wasn't enough, the home they shared wasn't enough; not without a son. It just wasn't enough, Hannah wanted more. More than just to be barren when she could feel, she could sense that there was still so much inside of her to give.

And you, you know there's much more inside of you to give than what people actually give you credit for.They try to throw you off by making you feel guilty, by making you feel selfish for believing that you are entitled to more, destined for more.

Unbeknownst to them, they are helping the devil deceive you by suggesting such a thing. Unbeknownst to them, they are helping the devil steal, kill, and destroy your heart, steal, kill, and destroy your dreams with their negative, foolish talk.

Beloved, you have nothing to feel guilty about and you certainly are not selfish. Jesus even said so.

Jesus in red letters (meaning Jesus is speaking; referring to the devil as a thief) He said:

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it MORE abundantly.

John 10:10 NKJV

Jesus came so that you could have MORE. So that you may have life and have it how?  MORE abundantly.  So, stop apologizing to people that can't understand where you're coming from and in the words of Mary Mary, "Go Get Your Blessing. It's Your Time."

Until Next Sunday.

"Your Go Moment"

Beloved, You can't always go backwards, but you can always go forward.

Even though, An angel of the LORD told Lot to get his family and Go; so that they wouldn't be harmed when the town they had been living in gets destroyed...Lot's wife was 1/2 obedient which always equals TOTAL DISOBEDIENCE.

She got ready to go forward with her husband into whatever was next for them, but before she could get out of viewing distance of  the home they had shared, the town, the people, etc., she looked back; totally destroying any future plans God had for them as a couple.

And it's obvious that God did have future plans for them BOTH or the angel would've just told Lot to get out of town immediately and do so alone.

Genesis 19:15-26 AMPC

The revelation found here is this: Often times we make our own way harder than it has to be by choosing to focus in on the wrong things at the wrong time , or by not knowing when it's time to let a person, place, or thing go.

Can I help you? If God has told you to "Go".... Go to the neighboring city or state, go for that next level of degree, go means go forward, to look back symbolizes something that's already gone because ONLY your past is behind you now.

Instead, Use this extra time Rona has opened up for you as a blessing, as an opportunity for you to get ready, take this quarantined time to prepare your life for your go moment. No more looking back. The prophet Isaiah said: Send me, I'll go. Isaiah 6:8

It's time to go. No questions asked....Lord, we trust you now like never before and so we prepare... Get ready, get set, Go.

Until Next Sunday.

"Sleeping On Jesus"

How would you feel, if the people you entrusted your pain to, went to sleep  (literally) in the midst of you going through what you're going through? Instead of being your re-inforcements  in the realm of the Spirit and helping to pray you through, they fall asleep on you.

They fall asleep...As though, your pain isn't even worth paying attention to.

So, you're on your own, all alone.

Even though, you were careful about who you decided to open up to, and bring along with you...STILL the ones you chose couldn't save you, or at least, help prepare you for what was to come.

Jesus can relate...Here, He was in the garden of Gethsemane-a place where he was being pressed;  with Him were  Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, when it is He began to show grief and distress of mind and was deeply depressed....And what did the disciples do (those who were with Him) ?...I'll tell you what they did....THEY WENT TO SLEEP ON HIM...Not once, not twice , but repeatedly. 

Matthew 26:36-46 AMPC

Beloved, Aside from Jesus being crucified and the pain it caused his physical body....I think the thing that bothers me the most is that JESUS REALLY NEEDED the disciples he chose to bring with him into his personal time of grieving, suffering and STILL they chose sleep (they chose what they needed) over what he needed in that moment.

●SOMEBODY: How can you claim to love Jesus when nothing you do is really about Jesus?

And still today, we disciples are like the colt tied up in Mark 11....Jesus sends for us and some of us still refuses to go, to serve, to minister to the LORD where there is a need.

We disciples are still sleeping  on Jesus. We'd rather rush straight to Resurrection Sunday and He got up (which I'm glad he did)...But that's  what serves us. What about all those times we fell asleep on Jesus, when we should have been watching & praying because there was something He needed. Instead we let ourselves fall into temptation; acting like the world, tempted (drawn to) the same things as the world.

Jesus...Oh Jesus...

Continued Monday Night on Prolific Fire 

Happy Resurrection Sunday.

"Transforming, Changing"

6 Now Joseph was the governor of the land, the person who sold grain to all its people. So when Joseph’s brothers arrived, they bowed down to him with their faces to the ground. 

7 As soon as Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he pretended to be a stranger and spoke harshly to them. “Where do you come from?” he asked. “From the land of Canaan,” they replied, “to buy food.”  

8 Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him.

Genesis 42:6‭-‬8 NIV

But oh, when he was at home with them, they recognized him as the one they hated, the one they made fun etc....You see, Beloved, Often times, God will use painful situations like this from your childhood to transform you.

So, now they don't even recognize him.

 And so, Joseph ended up being  sold into slavery (removed from his brother's mistreatment of him) . Even though, slavery seemed like something worse, it wasn't. 

In what was supposed to be slavery, Joseph became a leader, when all he was before was a follower, following up in behind his brothers, talking too much, wanting to be liked, wanted to be accepted. 

Genesis 37 & Genesis 39

SOMEBODY: God is using the pain to transform you, change you from being the person they always pushed around, talked about, and cruelly dismissed. Even though you desperately wanted their acceptance, God didn't allow it because you're better than that. There is a leader in you that will re-define the order of things.

But in order to get you to lead, step out of the shadows and SHINE, God had to allow the pain. The pain is what's pushing you into transformation, into your changing position. 

So, Now you've come to realize the hard truth, that you don't need as much help as before, as back when you were a child.

Childish things you are now prepared to leave behind. 1 Corinthians 13:11....and when God gets through transforming you like Joseph those that hurt you won't even recognize you. There is so much more to be gained. 

Selah- Pause & Think About That.

Until Next Sunday.

"Content Is Everything"

Check It's Content BEFORE forming an opinion because a book is not always represented well by it's cover. Often times a cover is just a cover up, hiding what's really going on inside of the book, inside of the person, as it was with Hannah.

From the outside looking in, Hannah looked like a drunk that had stumbled into the church and Eli, the priest called her out on it.

But public drunkenness (as it appeared to be) was just a cover...Hannah was really hurting; barren-unable to give life to her dream of having a son. The bible says: She was in anguish & crying and she admitted to being very discouraged. Still she found her way into the church, into the temple to pray.

1 Samuel 1:10-15 NLT

Many of you like Hannah are feeling discouraged and even though you're in the right place doing the right thing...You still got people talking about you; looking and judging you without knowing the real content of your character. As if, they've never been through something that made them act a little out of character. 

So what, if you're not acting exactly like yourself these days with everything going on around you lately...Who can blame you?

You're doing the best you can to maintain some level of normalcy and that in itself can be overwhelming. 

What's important though is not what they think, or have the nerve to say...What's important is that you're fighting through the discouragement, fighting through the anguish -the serve physical or mental distress, fighting through the tears by staying on your face in prayer, before a God that doesn't see you as man sees you. A God who does not judge you, but encourages you to come. Get out the boat, Peter, and come...Come, all who are weary, tired from carrying heavy burdens and I will give you rest.

Matt 11:28 CEV Matt 14:28-29 NIV, 1 Samuel 16:7 NIV

Come; you belong to God....Ignore all the "so-called" perfect people who have never struggled with something in life, struggled in their walk with God etc. Truthfully, God is closer to you NOW than He will ever be to them (given their ungodly attitude).

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Psalms 34:18 NIV

Until Next Sunday.

Stay safe, Stay home.

"Double Violation "

In 2 Samuel 13 from the NIV translation the bible records in grave detail the ONE horrifying incident that would change Tamar forever. Violated in one of the worst ways imaginable and by her own brother (of all people)... Yet what I consider to be, the second violation (equally as horrifying) in the text is how her father, King David got angry when he found out what his SON had done to her, his  DAUGHTER...But still he did NOTHING in support of Tamar.  It was the ole sexes double standard routine. 

You see,  I think we all know how it feels to  go through something life changing and not have the proper support.

Tamar was going through simply because she was loving and caring enough to show up for her brother who SHE THOUGHT was sick and needed her care.

DECEIVED...Going through without her Father's support making, a violated situation, doubly offensive.

And again, I think we all know how it feels to be deceived into a situation, and not have the support of family to help get us through.

But oh, we serve a God that sits high and looks low, he sees and knows all and he says: You are worth fighting for, standing up for. Yes, they made you feel like you were to blame by not supporting  you.

 But God....As a matter of fact he says, You don't have to do anything...I will fight for you, just be still.

Exodus 14:14 NIV Psalm 138:6 GNT

So, Since, you've been quarantined anyway due to corona...Take it as an opportunity to be still and let God handle everything you were worried about prior to corona. Because some of you were going through before this virus/plaque surfaced.

So, let God handle it all, including your corona fears because you are worth fighting for. Sorry, they violated you, used you, deceived you. You were  completely taking advantage of...

And them not supporting you, silently shows support for tthe person who harmed you.

But God, Watch him fight for you in this season of drought and uncertainty because you're worth fighting for. 

Until Next Sunday,

● Stay safe, Stay prayerful, Watch God, Read Psalm 91 and Wash your hands. 🙌

"A Second Wind"

He said, “Come ahead.” Jumping out of the boat, Peter walked on the water to Jesus. But when he looked down at the waves churning beneath his feet, he lost his nerve and started to sink. He cried, “Master, save me!” Jesus didn’t hesitate. He reached down and grabbed his hand. Then he said, “Faint-heart, what got into you?” The two of them climbed into the boat, and the wind died down. The disciples in the boat, having watched the whole thing, worshiped Jesus, saying, “This is it! You are God’s Son for sure!”

Matthew 14:29‭-‬33 MSG

Here Peter is, feeling like a failure  on his way back to the boat after having attempted to walk on water.

He felt like a failure because he had to go back and face the other disciples (the people he had decided to leave behind)....ONLY things didn't work out as he had planned.

So, he goes back, not knowing what to expect. Is this just it? Will I get another chance to try or do I just accept failure as a part of my resume?

Peter truly didn't know.

But God knew....He knew, Peter would get a second chance to prove to himself that he's not a failure.

SOMEBODY: Like Peter, you just need  a second chance to prove to yourself you're not a failure.

Time out for impressing other people...Catch your second wind. God is releasing a second wind....And this, time you will be able to get yourself together and make it happen.

Peter got his second chance and out of obedience to the WORD, Jesus had given him....Though, he was tired, exhausted already from all the work he had put in, he tried again on the water to make something happen and this time, it paid off.

Luke 5:1-7 NIV

Beloved,  God is releasing a second wind over you...You will be able to make it happen this time. Going back, having to face the same people you thought you left behind does not make you a failure. What it does is buy you time UNTIL you relaunch, UNTIL you restock your brand, rewrite your book,  UNTIL you re-work your business strategy, UNTIL you're able to do successfully what you couldn't do before.

Food for thought.

Until Next Sunday.
