Understanding Your Abundant Life

God's gifts are often taken for granted. 

The beauty of his nature is normally robbed by our lofty agendas. Pressing meetings and our much to do about nothing behaviors.
God is a supernatural giver, yet we fail to see his currency. He gave His only begotten son first that we might be saved. Identifying WHO His son is will give us a good clue of the currency that we have with Him.

Jesus Christ said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. The only way to the Father is through me. (John 14:6 NCV)

So when He gave us Jesus He gave us "The Way" a point of contact, a way of living. He also gave us "The Truth" Jesus is the truth, He is the word of God! Ask me how I know!

He is also "The Life" this is the amazing part this is where we can die to our old soulish ways and live through him.

Identifying  "In the beginning there was the Word. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things were made by him, and nothing was made without him. In him there was life, and that life was the light of all people. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it. (John 1:1-5 NCV)

True beauty is in the fact that my life, your life is his light shining through us. Gods currency is everlasting.  So Jesus should be our first currency. God I'm thankful for your gift of Christ! 

Currency can be spent wisely or wasted foolishly. (Money) Time currency is afforded to most of us and it is one of the most valuable of currencies. It's given freely but could cost you dearly. Spend quality time with Christ and for him working the mission he called you too.

This is spending time wisely. Spend time in Christ, reading his word. This is how we experience the abundant life that flow through him. Knowing his word is knowing him and speaking his word commands the alignment of all things to which it is applied.

Enjoy your time in Christ be present "in the here and now" This is were we can enjoy him as our true gift. Moving backwards thinking about your past won't help or worrying about your future or what could happen. Being in the here and now is what God desires from us! God bless!

Open Criticism Is Better Than Secret Love...Are you a Frenemy?

This post is a examination of self and how we move and treat others in our lives.

Let's define this word Frenemy

It is defined as a person with whom one is friendly despite a fundamental dislike or rivalry. (Google.com)

Seems pretty clear, here is another 

Definition : is an oxymoron and a portmanteau of "friend" and "enemy" that can refer to either an enemy pretending to be a friend or someone who really is a friend but also a rival.^[1] The term is used to describe personal, geopolitical, and commercial relationships both among individuals and groups or institutions. The word has appeared in print as early as 1953.^{[2] (Wikipedia.org)}

Let's just face it!

Not everyone means well by you. Nor have you meant well by everyone either. We have all been there. Until we have learned to look at ourselves and make adjustments we may have been or still may be a Frenemy.

Scarcity feelings are felt

•Jealousy 

•Envy

•Resentfullness

To put it in a biblical term "Covetousness"!

Wanting what another person has or desiring status or power over another person.

These feelings lead to behaviors that are not worthy of Gods presence.

•Backstabbing 

•Gossiping 

•Lying

•Stealing

Now we may not have done all these things knowingly.

If we've been on this earth long enough we have.

We have done all these things. Even though our intentions may be good (for self) we still may be considered a Frenemy. 

This is an old problem

This is a problem that even Jesus Christ had to endure. Christ had to endure knowing that one of his diciples was going to betray him. Being here on earth and in the flesh I believed Jesus had feelings about this whole thing.

How he dealt with those feelings 

He dealt with knowing and still walking in love with the person that was destined to betray him.

The betrayal is recorded in Matthew 26:14-16

This is when he agreed to turn Jesus in to the Jewish high priest for thirty silver coins. Then Judas looked for and waited for an opportunity to turn Jesus over to them.

WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?

I know we are all familiar with the acronym WWJD

Well WDJD? 

What did Jesus do? 

Well Jesus being in obedience to God knew that the plan was for him to die for mankind's sins. 

Even before the betrayal he spoke of this to the diciples in John 6:70-71

“Then Jesus answered, “I chose all twelve of you, but one of you is a devil.” Jesus was talking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. Judas was one of the twelve, but later he was going to turn against Jesus.”

John 6:70-71 NCV

http://bible.com/105/jhn.6.70-71.ncv

Jesus let them know that he knew

 Lowering himself by washing his diciples feet. 

Becoming a servant of all.

He responded in kindness and graciousness towards Judas.

The bible states in John 13:21-27

“After Jesus said this, he was very troubled. He said openly, “I tell you the truth, one of you will turn against me.” The followers all looked at each other, because they did not know whom Jesus was talking about. One of the followers sitting next to Jesus was the follower Jesus loved. Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus whom he was talking about. That follower leaned closer to Jesus and asked, “Lord, who is it?” Jesus answered, “I will dip this bread into the dish. The man I give it to is the man who will turn against me.” So Jesus took a piece of bread, dipped it, and gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered him. Jesus said to him, “The thing that you will do—do it quickly.””

John 13:21-27 NCV

http://bible.com/105/jhn.13.21-27.ncv

Jesus chose his diciples.

We should take great care in who we choose as friends. Those who will walk with you share your experiences your love joys and pains. He loved Judas despite his actions toward him.

This is where I'm encouraged!

I'm encouraged because even in our wretchedness he chose us. Choosing to love us and forgive us with an irrevocable love despite our flaws.

Self examination is needed.

We must examine ourselves daily and be willing to die to our old ways everyday. Even as Christ forgave us we must forgive and love those who would persecute us too.

“Where jealousy and selfishness are, there will be confusion and every kind of evil.”

James 3:16 NCV

Pressure...Stress Love motion

This post is about your Work.

The Pressure stress love motion that you go through everyday to take care of yourself and your love ones. 

How many people feel like they are on a treadmill in life?

Daily we wake up to perform a certain function at your place of work. Depending on the way we look at it, we may like it love it or loathe it. It pays the bills and puts food on the table but does it fulfill you and align with your purpose?

God designed us with a certain purpose in mind. We tend to move so far out of alignment and never truly find our purpose. For a long time I was out of alignment in my life. I was chasing money and not focused on my divine purpose. 

Other people can see your purpose 

I learned this lesson the hard way. I was working on my trade as a machinist and the master machinists that I worked under noticed my purpose. I didn't receive what he was trying to tell me at that time. Why because he was telling me that my purpose wasn't in machining it was with people. It wasn't what I wanted to hear at all. He later broke it down to me. He said that he noticed what I did on my lunch breaks like helping people learn how to read and encouraging people to go back to school. Helping others study for their GED exam. 

Young unfocused energy.

God wants us early in our youth so that he can shape and mold us for greatness.

But we tend to get involved in what we call Peer Pressure when we're young.

We can call these distractions and rabbit trails. Moving through life with little idea as to what we are designed to do. We do what we think is right by how it makes us feel. Everything that feels good isn't good. Falling in line with trends that maybe happening in your environment, age range, race or culture.

These pressures can cause the notorious S word to happen.

Stress can sometimes leave you feeling like throwing in the towel and giving up on life. I've learned that stress can build you up to make you stronger or tear you down to nothing. 

Let's talk about those two stress.

The first being the stress we all know and loathe 

•Stress this is the feeling and emotion that can cause damage to your mind soul and body. Anxiety, depression, frustration pain, and sadness. 

One big ball of stress.

The second  being a less commonly known stress called

 • Eustress this is the stress that makes you rise to the occasion when necessary and overcome obstacles and challenges. This stress helps you grow.

Motivation inspiration and enthusiasm and fulfillment.

Learning to find stress relievers are key to your survival. 

Prayer and meditation are good ways to relieve stress. Now I'm not going to tell you how to pray but I can give some advice about meditation.

Meditate

I was taught by a gentleman that I call my fellow brother in Christ. What he told me was nothing esoteric in theory. He shared with me how believers should meditate. 

He gave me an instance where King David stated in the bible that he meditated on God's precepts (commands). Psalm 119:15-16 "I want to reflect on your guiding principles and study your ways.Your laws make me happy. I never forget your word."

My brother in Christ shared that I should read God's word and think about the passage through out the day and focus on Gods ways. This will bring enlightenment and relationship.

When I hear the word Relationship I think of LOVE!

To be in relationship requires a bit of intimacy, a closeness that will give you a sense of knowing.

We know what we love and that is connection and family. We do a lot for the ones we love and this motivates us to move forward.  

LOVE helps us to do when we feel like there is nothing left inside to give.

God is LOVE!

1John 4:8 "But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love."

Love is a sustainable emotion.

Love truly is the only sustainable emotion. If you are angry can you stay angry forever? No you can't sustain that emotion forever. Since God is love all these other emotions really lack sustainability. 

The Feelings Wheel is a wonderful tool 

To use but I'm using it here as a visual at this moment. I will demonstrate how to use this wheel in another post very soon.

Love motivates us to move

Love causes us to get up every day and do what we have to do for ourselves our family and friends. Love is not only an emotion it's an action.

Love causes motion!

We move because Gods love is an action a force that can be felt. When we feel like giving up and stopping his love picks us up and carries us through our tough times. 

There have been plenty of times when I felt like quitting everything my job, this life times get hard. God gives us enough momentum to carry us through.

It might be that one thing that changes it all.

That brings us back from the edge. He knows his plans for us and they are good. 

God is truly amazing!

My nephew when he was a baby sang this little song to me that he made up. It saved my life when I was in a deep depressed moment. He sang "Don't give up you'll see why!" That one little line was enough to bring me back to shore. Out of the mouths of babes right! It caused a ripple effect that moved me to a greater place in God.

Manage the stress through Prayer and meditation. God is love the force that motivates us into motion actions beyond expectations!  

His plans are great for you!

God bless you!

Pushing through boundaries, limitations and comfort zones to a place called Destiny.

This post has been lingering on the fringes of my mind. Why?, because I was actually going through my lessons. I received the title before the lesson. Wow it is amazing how God works.

My best friend called me one day out of the blue ("you saw the color blue didn't you") He told me that God wanted him to call me and share this message with me.

So being obedient he called and shared this story with me. 

The story he shared was eye opening and changed my life for the months/ years to come ("yes it took that long don't judge me! Lol") 

My best friend has a daughter, she is his only daughter and youngest child. Now I don't have any children but I heard that having one or more than one is a life changing experience. Well she is his female doppelgänger they are so much alike. You gotta love them! 

Anyway back to the call and story.

The message that he had for me was simple "Have Faith"! He went on to explain that he is a full fledge cheer dad. Meaning that he supports his daughter and her cheer leading team at events and practices local and on the road. He explained

When your a father
Your children make request of you that they have no doubt you can fulfill. He explained that his daughter expressed that she wanted to participate in the travel event for her team. Now this event was in another part of the state that they live in, not close at all. She jumped in the backseat of the car and said "Dad I want to go to Tallahassee with the team". She said this with confidence and no doubt that she wouldn't be front and center with her team, No Doubt or Fear just expectation (Faith)

Being the father
This means that the how and the details of the trip was left solely up to him. How they would get there, where they would stay and how much money would be needed to make the trip successful.
He explained that we to are to be like this with our Heavenly Father (God).

We have a Dad that loves us.
He wants us to walk in the steps he orders and take joy in it. (Psalm 37;23) He also says to live by believing and not by seeing. (2 Cor. 5;7) Here is where I missed the lesson before. It took a strong curve and left me on the side of the road. I had not developed my spiritual eyes (understanding). People always said "Seeing is believing" which is contradicting The Word of God. I understood what that meant as in "Show and Prove" in reference to people not God. Believe and he will prove that his Word is true.

In obedience and expectation.
Faith in God and not in what the details or circumstances may show us. I have come to this understanding by his Holy Spirit. I am truly thankful.


Living in our comfort zones
We love to play it safe in life and not take to many chances. Most of our decisions are based on our comfort. Life isn't always gonna feel safe or comfortable.

Life is like a roller coaster

(Pic courtesy of Roller coaster tycoon)
First thing you may notice there is no steering wheel. Meaning you are on a track that we are gonna call Life. To some degree you may feel out of control and that is true. 

(Picture courtesy of Picgif.com)

We strap in for this ride that carries us through a gambit of emotions.

Some of the first emotions you may encounter is 

• Fear 

• Anxiety

• Anticipation

(Picture courtesy of Hk-phy.0rg)

When you feel God's control in your life

Once you start feeling the breaks being applied in certain areas you start to understand and then enjoy the ride. Feelings like 

• Excitement

• Exhilaration

• Confidence 

Become your experience.

We see the whole roller coaster but we don't see our whole Life. 

Seeing the whole ride provides some assurance of your arrival. Knowing that it ends at some point brings about a certainty of peace. 

The way we see life is like Hills and Valleys.

This is similar to the roller coaster, but you can't see everything at once. This is where your faith in God must be present.

We have these hill and valley moments in our lives and they take use through those same emotions the roller coaster does but at slower speeds (sometimes). 

When I'm on the hill

I feel excited and its bright, my future is within view and I can see the next few steps to my journey easy. I can feel the sun shining the warmth of Gods love around me. And then...

I descend into the valley.

The valley is dark cold and I feel loneliness, sadness and despair. Not being able to see where my next step should be makes me feel fear and depression. We all have these valley moments in our lives. 

This was the setup for a season of P.U.S.H. 

This is how you climb out of the valley and back up the hill.

"Pray, Until, Something, Happens!"

I am reminded of this scripture I learned as a child.

A promise from my Father. 

“The LORD is my shepherd; I have everything I need. He lets me rest in green pastures. He leads me to calm water. He gives me new strength. He leads me on paths that are right for the good of his name. Even if I walk through a very dark valley, I will not be afraid, because you are with me. Your rod and your shepherd’s staff comfort me. You prepare a meal for me in front of my enemies. You pour oil of blessing on my head; you fill my cup to overflowing. Surely your goodness and love will be with me all my life, and I will live in the house of the LORD forever.”

Psalms 23:1-6 NCV

http://bible.com/105/psa.23.1-6.ncv

The Word of God assures us that he is with us always! 

Jesus is with us as we make believers in this world (disciples)!

“Then Jesus came to them and said, “All power in heaven and on earth is given to me. So go and make followers of all people in the world. Baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach them to obey everything that I have taught you, and I will be with you always, even until the end of this age.””

Matthew 28:18-20 NCV

http://bible.com/105/mat.28.18-20.ncv

So coming out of our comfort zones for Christ gives us an assurance!

We will meet the Lord at our destined time. At a place called Heaven (Destiny)

Pardon me, I have some place I have to be. When life is standing still all around you......run!

This seem like a weird title, but it's a true one.

As I was growing into a young man I noticed that there were things that I wanted, and I went after them. I wanted to drive, I went after my driver license and  got it. I wanted friends, I showed myself friendly and gained friends. I wanted a relationship, I showed interest in a young lady and started making investments towards an exclusive relationship. These things were not hard to acquire looking back. While in the moment of living through them it was difficult, so much emotional content that you almost fail to see the process.

Process vs Content

Have you ever heard the cliché that "The devil is in the details". Details being the content these are the cares of life. I love to look at the opposite as God being the process. We tend to go on our emotional roller coasters getting caught up in the feelings and throws of life. Instead of looking at the process. Keeping our minds clear and focused on God.

I'm saying all this to say that,

If you want something you have to go for it, you have to move! Moving forward in life can be confusing and a bit scary because you don't know what your doing or where your going. 

Get a Clue!!! You need to have an idea....

We tend to think in pictures. That's why if I say to you don't think of a blue elephant you'll see a blue elephant in your mind.

We must have a picture of our desired future.

This is true, you must have a vision of what you want your life to look like. All the bells and whistles! Visualizing in detail things that you would like to learn see attain and achieve. 

Don't be hard on yourself because you don't know the how.

The how is not our job! We are to visualize and pray for God's will to be done in our lives. God is the author and finisher of our faith. You heard the cliche "If you believe you can achieve" Well its true along with other such as 

• Do or do not there is no try. - Yoda
• Regrets are the past gripping you in the present.
• If you focus on what you left behind you will never be able to see what lies ahead- Gusteau
• Your mind is like water, if you allow it to settle the answer becomes clear.

There are many more that could be written and there are levels of truth in them all.

The Chef Gusteau saying stands out for me...

"If you focus on what you left behind you will never be able to see what lies ahead"

although this saying was made famous in a movie about a rodent (Ratatouille) It was most true to my situation. When I started growing in areas of my life I noticed that others around me were not growing, not everyone but ones I truly care about. I started to notice the distance growing further and further apart from them. The picture that I saw for myself was coming into view. I thought I saw them in it but as I got closer they faded away. 

Grief and loss is felt when we lose people.

This is also true when we lose relationships in our lives that we thought were forever. Reaching and failing because the distance is to great. 

Distance in mind states will change your physical position in life.

You will now travel in a new circle of friends people and understanding. It is necessary for your season of growth. These new individuals will teach lessons or be apart of your lifetime.

This reminds me of the parable of the talents. Matthew 25:14-30

God gives you everything that you need to fulfill your purpose in life. It's up you to take the talent he gives and use it, multiply it and grow it for his glory.

We have an obligation to make something out of the life and talents that God gives us. So no excuses of trying, just do it, if your scared do it scared until your not scared anymore. 

“If you worry about what might be, and wonder what might have been, you will ignore what is.” -Unknown

Dream Think Create Innovate!

The Content Of Your Life

When you wake up to a new day what is the first thing you do?

• Do you pray and say thank you?

• Do you automatically start thinking  about the course of events for today?

• Do you think "I'm tired, I'm going back to sleep?"

Well I believe your day should be started with thankfulness and a prayer. Now, is it always true that I wake up and say thank you? No, sometimes I'm guilty of thinking about the course of my day and other times wanting to go back to sleep.

Unfortunately there are things that have to be done in our days to fulfill purpose and obligations. 

Some would lean towards that latter of obligation. Feeling that there job or work has no real fulfilling purpose. 

Your feelings have a lot to do with how you approach life, and amazingly how life approaches you. 

That's right, how life approaches you "opportunities" favor.

If you run from life in "depression" life will do the same and run from you. So we must change our attitude about life "find the good" and run as fast as we can toward it!

Remember "your attitude determines your altitude."  

When we awake to a new and beautiful day. See how I described the day as "new and beautiful ". You shape your thoughts which helps shape your experience. Being focused on your goals and dreams  helps you to stay in the moment and

live on purpose. What you love is gonna love you back.

Remember to dream, think, innovate and create!

Things aren't always what they seem to be. Seeing through the veil.

There are glitches in the matrix.

There are deceptions of the eyes (body) and the mind. We know that the spirit (God) functions in truth. So to be free of all the distractions we must live by faith and not by sight nor by emotions that are not divinely inspired by God.

We live in a distracted world full of noise and electronic chaos.

 We must unplug and spend time with God. Purging these distractions from our lives for a healthy detox.

This can start with a health prayer life.

•Prayer strategy (When and what your praying for)

•Thinking outside the box (believe God can and will change things in your life)

•Create a space for prayer (Your "War Room")

I just saw this great movie with my wife this past weekend and it was powerful.

The movie "War Room" it's a must see if you have a date night or if you just want to spend some time alone. The movie focuses on the power of prayer and How God answers prayer. 

We must awaken to our purpose and see things with a "three dimensional" point of view. 

 I'll have more on three dimensional thinking in another post it will be great! 

Let's not be deceived by these distractions. Let us be aware and on mission. Be aware of who, what, and where you are.

Unplug from the social media and TV from time to time. Take time out for God and prayer.

Acknowledge your divine origin and know that you come from God

As always Dream,Think,Create, innovate!

Don't be a victim to your negative thoughts!

We love to say things like "mind over matter" and don't really know what it truly means. 

Some like to change it to "mind over matter, I don't mind cause you don't matter". With such play on words we lose the context as to what the phrase or statement really meant. 

It was meant to help people understand that your mind in actuality has powers and that it can effect matter (material things in this world). Also to not allow the material things to effect you in a negative way.

How we think has a lot to do with how we see (think of) our selves.

With a powerful outlook of yourself you can move mountains with your mind (well maybe not a real mountain but the burden of one). Understanding that having a wealth mindset brings you into a well rounded balance of mind, body and spiritual health. Not having a scarcity mindset of never enough. Not good enough not pretty or handsome enough.

God wants us to know that there is more than enough and that all we have to do is live by faith!

Living from the inside out! Here is a quote: "When unhappy, one doubts everything; when happy, one doubts nothing." Joseph Roux.

The word of God states that "The joy of the lord is your strength" Nehemiah 8:10 B verse also psalms 28:7 context of his presence being connected to our joy and strength.

The word of God states that if we "Seek first the kingdom of God and all his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you" Matt.6:33

Seeking God first is key to a healthy relationship, but this must be done through his son Jesus Christ.

Now I don't mean to get all preachy. This is a true fact and should be acknowledged 

Having a healthy self esteem and relationship with God brings you into a victory mindset. In God you can't lose!

Change your mind, change your world!

"Dream Think, Create, Innovate!" Believe!

The Fear Factor...Never let it Stop your Dreams!

Fear is an emotion that is limiting and places the person experiencing the emotion in a prison of sorts.

It keeps us trapped in a place where you cant clearly see your future and reminds us of our past regrets.  Fear is a scarcity based emotion (lack, not enough, distance, darkness)  

I teach a rule called "Staying single pointed" within the Family strengthening practice. it's a rule that helps people remain in the here and now.  Because we need to be aware of our "now" it helps us to move forward by paying attention to our current actions and progression. This takes into account the freedom that God has given us.

Fear is a spirit that God has not given us.

We have come to the conclusion that 

fear is a liar. We must go to the those places in our lives where we have experienced unforgiveness and pain.  Recognize those strongholds that have been holding us captive as lies. In our relationship with Christ there is no condemnation. He has given you freedom of mind and liberty of body to move forward in your life. Denounce those fears (lies) and embrace freedom and liberty through Jesus Christ! 

The word of God stated " So if the son sets you free, you will be free indeed" John 8:36 (NIV)

Allow him to set you free! Accept Jesus in and know true freedom! You will be able to move into your destiny and fulfill your dreams and purpose!

Witches, Werewolves, Vampires and Relationships?

It's clear that they think we are dreaming. The fantasy of being lulled asleep where they can paint water colored memory's of satanic imagery. Witches Werewolves and Vampires in relationships like this is something that should be seen as normal. People would say well it's just entertainment, but that is what I'm talking about. We need to be careful what we entertain and what entertains us. Examine the word "entertainment" to enter in to possession or containment. I'm an awake person and I see the world now for what it is and I can see the programing that is happening right before our own eyes. Supernatural events that are being prepared to happen. Through the television programming we are being prepared to be desensitized to these spiritual things. Trans-humanism the changing and the defiling of Gods creations is being changed by man through the doctrine of demons and demonic technology designed to shift the atmosphere and spiritual veil to be ripped and allow Possession and portals through which things that are not meant for this world to pass through to our plane of existence. This is why we as true believers of Jesus Christ need to fight through prayer and getting as many lives saved as possible.

It's not normal to see demonic things on the daily... but T.V. makes this very thing possible

  Witches, Werewolves and Vampires in relationship. These very things happening in our daily world and it is meant to make us accept these things with no problems. with variation on the changing to a werewolf or vampire to changing from a man to a woman or vice versa.

Look at the captions in this picture "BE PROUD OF WHAT YOU ARE." With us not truly knowing that we are opening ourselves us to something that can take possession of us once we defile our bodies making us host to anything other than the Holy Spirit. The enemy wants us to corrupt our selves so that they can move into our bodies and have access to the world we live in. So things like  mass bombing and shootings. Brutal slayings that are unexplained and passed off as metal illness or racism and a host of other explanations that make no real sense. Your relationship with God will help you to develop your spiritual eyes to see the tricks of the enemy. So that you will not be deceived.

THINGS WE MUST REMEMBER

• We are created in the image of God. ( The enemy hates that)
• That God does not make mistakes.  (What you are is what you were meant to be)
• We are host to The Holy Spirit of God. (When we were made we were made with this purpose)
• We are made for worship of God YHWH (The gifts that God gave you should be made available to his children your brother and sister in Christ Jesus.)
• That Jesus died for our sins and that we can all ways come back to God the father through Jesus. (Jesus is the way the truth and the Life.)
• God loves us (He gave us his Son Jesus for this very reason because he loves us and to take away our sins future past and present.)

So that you can receive salvation and know that you are truly saved. Know that Jesus died for your sins and that he paid the price for you and was rose up again. Salvation is yours for the asking and its Free!!
Romans 10:9
That if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
