Okay So Who Am I?

I am not who you say I am! If God says I am successful, then I am successful. If God says I am righteous, then I am righteous. If God says I am loving, then I am loving. If God says I am wealthy, then I am wealthy (not the world’s definition of wealth) God’s wealth is defined as good health (that leads to a quality of life), love (God’s love is servitude, gratitude, and seeks the good in all people and all things) and joy (God’s joy keeps your mind and heart in a state of, “What is good about this day, instead of focusing on what went wrong - and meditate on that more than the other! It’s a good place to be!

I will give you a scenario of how we allow a negative thought to consume us. For example, “It’s hot in this room”. Now if you keep telling yourself it’s hot, it’s hot, it’s hot, it’s hot - yep, I know you are saying, “Okay, I get it! It’s Hot! Before you know it, you become irritable, touchy, and even angry. Whereas, you have a mind set that it is hot and there is no relief. 

Now let’s flip the thinking. Picture this in your mind, it’s summer and the temperature is 85º outside. Oooooh is right! Now that’s hot! BUT - we are happy about it being hot outside; because it’s perfect weather to go swimming, boating, picnicking, or even just sit on your porch with a glass of ice tea, enjoying the panoramic view. That type of heat and image brought joy to your heart. Being outdoors in 85º weather, the choices are limitless! Well God is a limitless God, who brings joy into our hearts daily when we seek and focus on the good rather than the bad. 

Now I am going to recall that hot room you walked into that ignited an unnecessary attitude over a simple fix. What are your options? If there is a fan, turn it on. If you are wearing two shirts, take one off. If the room has air conditioning, flip the switch on. If it’s winter season and the heat is on, turn it down to a comfortable temperature - or if necessary turn it off and get to work. These are simple solutions to what we magnify into a dilemma or problem just by meditating on, “It’s Hot” - that stoled your joy!


Yes, I went a little off track, but I’m back! God’s Word tells me who I am. It is written, “For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12 AMPC)

His Word heals me and slays Satan so no trace of Satan’s residue will touch or defeat me from being who God says I am!  Therefore, there should be no doubt or concern of what you see in me or tell me I’m not. It’s like this, “God said it, I believe it, and so it is”! I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus!

For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become [endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness]. (II Corinthians 5:21 AMPC)

ALL Things Become NEW!

Every "New Year" brings new things, but we must transform our minds and hearts to let go of the old and embrace the new. Once a door is closed in the spirit, it cannot be opened, yet we hold on to the past that keeps our minds trapped to something that is debilitating rather than enlightening. Thoughts and words have power, and scripture tells us in Proverbs 18:21, "Death and Life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." It has been studied that words of encouragement brings confidence in a person, good mental health, they believe in themselves to do well in life, they have better physical health, are more resilient, have good coping methods, know they are loved,  and have a calm spirit. Negative words are harsh and cause anger in a person, stress, they lose confidence and self-worth, they give up and feel there is no hope for them in anything they do, and no one loves them; in addition they are prone to depression and a...

A Lost Service?

There are so many things lacking in our lives today and the only thing that is going to fill that void is serving Yahweh and serving others. Volunteering and serving others and Yahweh (which he called himself [a servant]) breaks that spirit of selfishness, self gratification, and self destruction.   Teens volunteering which builds character and great leaders  Scripture reads in Proverbs 16:27 Ethiopian Bible: 27  An ungodly man digs up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire. Which translates a ungodly man looks for trouble and manipulates others to do unlawful    acts. Many have heard this verse as, “Idle hands is the devil’s workshop.” Hands represent honest work in the Bible, or doing what is right in the eyes of Yahweh and man. The Bible also speaks of unclean hands that do bad things or are works of the devil. If you are sitting around in your feelings, get out and volunteer, help someone, serve at a food pantry, start a neighborhood garden; someth...

Let the "Light" Shine

Early Parchment of The Constitution Early American Settlers We are dealing with devils in the leadership in America and here’s the hypocrisy of it all, ALL of them that has been in office from the beginning of America’s birth, have overlooked lynching, starvation, terrorism of the Klu Klux Klan (KKK), lying, hate, sexual impurity, killing defenseless woman and children, just deep oppression - and want to say America was founded on Biblical foundations. Now whose Bible or whose Yahweh is this that promotes violence, evil, hate, and injustice? Yahweh gave Moses laws, instructions and promises to give to the people to live by and many call it the Ten Commandments, which Yahweh gave Moses hundreds of laws and there is no place, I have read, that this is the ten commandments.  What I read is that Yahweh gave them unto the people so that they will not sin and fear Him and obey His Commandments with favor, which is life, in the land. But this is just the beginning of the laws Yahweh gave ...
