Growth has it's pains

Have you ever seen someone so anointed that you would often times say..."Man! I want to be like so and so",  Well this isn't a revelation for me, but for some of you who have said that and maybe even are modeling your ministry or life in general off of someone that you admire...You have no idea what they have gone through to get to where they are!  I have experienced a new level of anointing and I tell you, it's lonely and people misunderstand you a lot.  I see things so much more spiritually than before and so there are things that totally vexes my spirit, but others around me don't see what I see and wonder why I'm not laughing or why I am not in  the conversations.  It's because I am waiting on what I need to do next for God. I don't want my life to be filled with meaningless carnal filters, but I am on a mission to see souls delivered.  This past Sunday Bishop said to check your temperature...are you hot or cold or just lukewarm?  I want to be hot!  Everyday I want to be at a consistent temperature, it has it's pains, it's rainy days, but God's Grace breaks through the clouds and gives me strength to stand. Growth has it's pains, but I'd rather have a temperature than to be walking around cold-dead or lukewarm-sick.  I'll take the pains...The bible says if I suffer with him, I'll reign with him.  I encourage you to keep growing, that's what we are supposed to do.  The bible says "from glory to glory", so lets grow together!

We Must Be Spiritually Woke

I had the honor and privilege to speak at my very first youth conference and believe me when I tell you I have never felt so relevant to young people than I did that day.  It reminded me that just because I am 42, I still had a lot to offer young people and they were eager to listen.   I usually shy away from middle school and teens because they get on my last nerve, and they trigger me in many ways, because of my childhood dealing with sexual abuse and being a teen mom.  I think they remind me of the time I did not have the luxury to be just a kid.  So when I see them doing and making stupid kid decisions, I can't handle it.  Notice I said "kid decisions".  That's what they get to do, and it's perfectly acceptable, but for me, I just cannot deal, call me a hater.  I'm okay with that...lol Speaking to these young adults inspired me more, because they have some adult experiences that I can easily relate and get to them on their level.  However, it's s

IT'S A NEW SEASON!

Hi Friends, We often look at the coming of a new year as a chance to start fresh, to start something new and of course lay down those proverbial lists of resolutions.  No one is immune from it's hypnotizing promises of change, the start of a new year is no doubt one of the most hope-filled moments of our lives.  But, I challenge you to keep track of how long your "new leaf" mode will last before you go right back to your old ways.  I heard somewhere that if you do something for 30 days, it is supposed to become a habit.  Dare I beg to differ in this thinking!  I think if your attitude has not changed while mindlessly doing the task at hand for 30-days your efforts are going to be in vain.  So, what do I think we should do in this new season? The Apostle Paul writes this in Romans 12:1-3 (MSG) "So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God
