"Don't Do It"
Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.
Micah 7:8 NIV

To gloat means to delight in, to take great pleasure in....

Beloved, It's sad to say, but somebody is enjoying your fallen state, enjoying seeing you in this dark season of your life.

You're literally struggling to find your way every day and they're enjoying it. 

Obviously, they don't know the bible or else, they would know better than to gloat over you, than to gloat over your current situation because the Lord will be light for you, lighting up your path...You will get out of what you're in.

It's just temporary. You won't be in that situation FOREVER.
You will rise up out of that grief, up out of that depression. In the words of Maya Angelou,"'STILL I RISE ''  You will rise.

You will rise up, get up, and go on with your life....
Because you know what?
Their day is coming. Every wicked person who is taking delight in, taking great pleasure in what you're going through right now...Their day is coming.

Don't let them stress you out; laugh instead...
Laugh because a merry heart does the body good like medicine. Proverbs 17:22 NKJ
Laugh because God is laughing.

The bible says,
but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming.
Psalms 37:13 NIV

So, Don't stress out...
Laugh! 🤩

Until Next Sunday.

"Had They Known"
Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” And they divided His garments and cast lots.
Luke 23:34 NKJV

Beloved,
Here's some real talk for you.

Some adults are STILL children in the way that they behave.They really don't know or understand the severity of their actions. 

Jesus understood that NOT every adult has put away their childish ways, but same STILL  speak, think, and do things on the same level as a child.
1 Corin 13:11 KJV

So, From The Cross, Jesus asked The Father to forgive those who had done Him wrong...His reason, because they did not know what they were doing when they mocked Him, spit on Him, beat Him, when they crucified Him.
Matt 27:27-30 CEV

There's a passage of scripture that actually says,
For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
1 Corin 2:8 KJV

Had they really known and understood Jesus was The Son of God sent on assignment to save a bunch of wretches like them, they wouldn't have behaved so wrecklessly. Had they known that after 3 days of being down, "HE WOULD GET UP..."

Had they known after going through what you went through...You would get up and BE STRONGER all because of the Jesus they crucified...
They never would have put their mouth on you. 
SO, FORGIVE THEM...Do what Jesus asked.

Happy Resurrection Sunday!!
Until Next Sunday.

"He Won't Leave You"
The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
Deuteronomy 31:8 NIV

He will never leave you...
God will never leave you.

You don't FULLY understand a statement like that until someone dies, until someone walks out, until you go through a divorce, until something happens that permanently disrupts your life.

Then all of a sudden, this scripture, this same scripture that you've quoted, that you have highlighted in your bible...
For many of us, this scripture hits differently now.

SOMEBODY: It's like your eyes and ears have been opened  for the first time, and now you really get it, that PEOPLE CAN LEAVE YOU, unexpectedly, in the tinkling of an eye.

But NOT God, God doesn't leave His people...NOT EVEN death can separate us from His love (Rom 8:38) Nor would He ever consider divorcing us or  just up and walking out on us...He won't leave us.

NOW, I don't know what you've experienced over the the last few months or even this last year...

But I know this, God is married to us, committed to us even when we are in a 
backslighten state of mind. (Jere 3:14 NKJ) That's all a part of Him choosing NOT to forsake us. He refuses to let what we do or don't do, change His love for us. 

So, Beloved,
You might not be at your best right now...You're going through a lot, you've lost a lot.
Just know it's impossible for you to lose God too.
He won't leave you. 

Until  Next Sunday.

"I Should Have Waited"
A man had two sons. The younger son told his father, ‘I want my share of your estate now before you die.’ So his father agreed to divide his wealth between his sons.

A few days later this younger son packed all his belongings and moved to a distant land, and there he wasted all his money in wild living.
Luke 15:11-13 NLT

SOMEBODY:
You feel like you packed up and left home too early. You don't regret the things you have, but you know that it ALL could have been better had you waited.

But like the Prodigal Son you were anxious to get out of your parent's house and be "grown."

Beloved,
There's a reason why the bible tells us to be anxious for nothing...Because when you get anxious (rushing to have, to experience this & that), you start making mistakes; mistakes that could have been avoided had you been willing to wait.
Philip 4:6 NKJ

So, Now you find yourself "preaching" to your own kids about the importance of waiting, about the important of not giving in to the flesh and living wild; wild living cost.

AND while, it might be too late to move back in with your biological parents like The Prodigal Son did.
Luke 15:11-24 NLT

You can always go back to your Heavenly Father and heal from the damage done to you in your youth, in your teen years, done to you as a young adult. Jere 30:17 NKJ talks about wounds being healed, as well as the physical body.

Father God,
Heal what the world tried to break, tried to destroy early on through wrong associations, through addictive habits, addictive behavior. Restore physically, mentally, and emotionally what the devil tried to steal.
In Jesus name, Amen

Until Next Sunday.

3/27/2022 "You Need To Heal"

"You Need To Heal"
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?” Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”

(Now) when they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him...He put them all out....
Mark 5:35‭-‬42 NIV

A Word 4 SOMEBODY:
God is allowing you to heal in private because He knows that's what you need; away from what people are saying, away from the "death sentence" they have spoken over your life.

God is allowing you to heal emotionally, heal mentally. You've been through enough. NO MORE COMMOTION, surrounding you .NO MORE PEOPLE surrounding you who do not understand what it means to walk by faith and NOT by sight. 2 Corin 5:7 KJV

They were just carelessly believing EVERYTHING they saw and lauging at Jesus for having a different perspective. So, He put them out.

He cleared the way for Jairus' 12  year old daughter to be healed right there in the privacy of her own home.  

And God is doing the same thing for you now. He's putting some people out; clearing the way so that you can heal. 
You need to heal. Stop looking for them, they won't be around; you need to heal.

Until Next Sunday.

"Stop Following People"
7 Therefore she (Naomi) went out from the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.

8 And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return each to her mother’s house. The Lord deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me.
Ruth 1:7‭-‬8 NKJV

Huh??? Imagine being on the road (in the middle of a road trip) and the person you came with suddenly tells you to go back home, return to your mother's house.

It just seems like a Judah road trip was a decision Naomi made and her daughters-in-law just up and followed...

It also feels like at one point... Ruth was the only one REALLY SURE of her next move as she vowed that Naomi's God would now be her God and where Noami goes she would be there too.
(See Ruth 1:16-18 NIV)

Because we see from the text that Naomi at some point changed her mind (for whatever reason) and told her daughters-in -law to return each to her mother's house.

This is why, It's so important that EVERYTHING you agree to, be a decision YOU made and NOT a decision someone else made for you. 

God never called you to be a follower of people and it doesn't matter if that person is OLD like Naomi or YOUNG like Ruth...But as a follower of Christ, You are to let the Holy Spirit lead you at all times.

Why? Because people will change their mind a zillion times, not sure of what's best for you or even themselves...
But God!!

The bible says:
It's the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go...NOT PEOPLE!!
Isaiah 48:17 NIV

Until Next Sunday.

"I'm Annoyed"
The bible says:  
Don't be annoyed by anyone who does wrong, and don't envy them. They will soon disappear like grass without rain.
Psalms 37:1‭-‬2 CEV

I think many of us have matured to the point that we no longer envy sinners... 

But we do get annoyed.. We get annoyed because we can see the wrong they're doing and it looks Ike they're getting away with it.

Still, the latter part of Psalms 37:2 (CEV) reveals a different scenario. It says, "They will soon disappear like grass without rain." 

Okay...Without rain, we know that nothing can grow, produce, or refresh itself.There must be rain, or some type of water attached to its existence. 

But here's the thing...Water in the bible represents THE WORD OF GOD which means that as long as that  person who is doing wrong remains WORD- less, remains GOD- less there will be no real progress in their life, despite how things currently look to you and me.

So, Today, my friend....
Be encouraged.
It's NOT at all what it looks like.There's another day coming and on that day...

They're going to have to pay for EVERY thing they have done.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
2 Corinthians 5:10 NIV

There will be NO ESCAPING payback...and no, it's not karma. It's just the bible making good on a promise. 

God says, I promise you they are not getting away.

Until Next Sunday.
