WHAT POWER DO YOU HARNESS, SPEAK or Others Have Spoken ON YOUR LIFE?
What source of power are you operating in your life?
What source of powers are you allowing to be operated in and on your life?
What is your spiritual power?
A Testament of Regaining Power:
I have viewed via SOCIAL MEDIA, videos of children dancing provocatively and uttering vulgarities and profanity where someone often makes the comments “It’s all in good fun. As a victim of child molestation and rape, it is not all in good fun because there are sick people in the world who don’t view children as children and who all in their mind of good fun, choose to take advantage of misguided youth, who think it is fun to dance like grown men and/or women or strippers, wear clothes unbefitting a child, or berate as reviling fools, or the like.
I am just saying what God put on my heart to say and that is “train up a child in the way they should go and when they are old they won’t depart it” If all a child has learned is the wrong things coming up what will they revert to when they get older?
There are child predators in social media who delight in voyeurism as well. If we don’t stand up for something we often fall for anything. God is real and we know this, but the devil is also just as real and he is a soul seeker by any means necessary starting with generational curses early on.
Break this cycle because there are plenty of methods to having fun rather than exploiting our children. The Word of God say suffer the little children and forbid them not to come unto HIM for such is the kingdom.of heaven.
Let me tell you how sly and crafty the devil and his adversaries are:
At age 9, I was molested, at age 13 again and shortly afterwards I became sexually active: at age 16, 20, 25, and older I was raped (non-consensual sex) by persons I thought were trustworthy and others I didn’t even know. So yes there is some authenticity to a good friend (the ones who say don’t teach that, do this or that…responding with love from the grace of God and I concur.
When the enemy has a demonic assignment on one’s life, it can stretch over years (same tricks) attacking different levels of weaknesses and lack of spiritual discernment and/or understanding. Moreover, it can latch on to other loved ones and offspring over many generations.
This is why once we become new creatures via water & spiritual baptism of the Lord & saviour Jesus Christ; we must put on the complete Armor of GOD; never taking it off. WE ARE AT WAR… with all that attacks and tries to kill, steal, and destroy the sanctity of love, peace, hope, faith, salvation, and prepaid for souls.
This is a message from God for the hearer (teacher) over the child or babes in Christ.
Someone once told me that i would never amount to nothing nor have anything, would not ever have anyone to love me or even love me with six kids. They were speaking negativity into my life early on but it was not until I began to speak an opposing rather subjective opinion about my life via the words given for our instruction and inspiration, that I came to a different realization.
“I am more than a conqueror, fearfully and wonderfully made, saved by the sufficiency of God’s grace; can do all things the joy of the Lord who strengthens me; I have power, love and sound mind; I can have my desires through asking according to his will; there is a good thing to be found in me; I am a vessel of peace and I have spiritual empathy….” (KJV)
Today I speak good things that edify GOD, uplift others and self. I monitor my speech as much as possible as well as my ears and spiritual eyes. I have learned that everything that glitters is not gold and sometimes what seems to be authentic is only fool’s gold. A bit cliché but a well noticeable point indeed.
When you harness your god-given power as some dear friends are always pointing out (thanks Debra & Kanina); you begin to walk by faith in the power to attain what GOD has already given you.
What POWER or GIFTS has He given?
Everything good and perfect, but to name a few… (James 1:17 KJV)
Love: 1 John 4:18| 1 Timothy 1:5 | John 3:16 & 15:13 | 1 Corinthians 13 | Philippians 1:9 | Romans 13:8 | 1 Corinthians 12:14-27 | Luke 6:35
Friendship: 1 Thessalonians 5:11 | 1 John 4:21 | John 15:12 | 1 John 4:11 | Matthew 5:44-45 | Romans 13:8 | John 13:34 | James 2:8 | Ruth 2:13 | John 15:15 | 1 Corinthians 12:14-27
“I do not want to die young or alone, an unfulfilled penniless life …”
Bombarded with the probability of a sudden shortened lifespan, a lonely, unproductive, or worthless life; the attacks came against my will and desire to see life through to fruition. “This is not godly thinking,” I thought as I attempted to reach out to anyone in my life, i.e. friends, family, loved ones, or other support means to help me to sort through the confusion.
I had begun to give up after immobility issues, financial disparities, absence of social life. I went online and typed, “What’s the best way to commit suicide” it took me to a site that instead of assisting me on how to do so, had lots of material of support on why not to.
As I began to read the text and attached scriptures, I was easily brought back to my spiritual senses. These are reasons I reached a low: Everything I seemed to try to be successful at, seemed to in its end stage, fall apart or away. I was losing my dad, my man wasn’t my man, my educational endeavors came to a screeching halt as did my health care coverage shortly after new diagnoses; I had no more income, business plummeted, my son was on trial for a capital crime, my body and bones weakened, my teeth were breaking away…more.
No luck with finding a cure or at least a working remedy for the constant agonizing pains associated with my disorder(s)
No zest for life; unable to get around like once before, no means to travel freely as I once did
Vision impairments kept me struggling with reading, so home life became a bore
No happy state of being (moody, over sensitive), sedative (due medication side effects), or combative (hating to explain what I was going through all the time)
I had so many things attacking me all at once that the uncertainty of SUCCESS in/at anything was prevalent under the darkness of these attacks. The thing was that my life was spiritually unaligned with my faith. I knew God, and I knew faith but I was not exercising it.
After a talk with God, this was revealed, “You can’t have faith without belief and strong confidence, it is stupid to think that suicide is an answer, I write the life script, and you perform the role until curtain time”
Sometimes those roles were dramatic, adventurous, action-filled, romantic, horrific (or rated R)
Sometimes the genres of these roles were lucrative, productive, melodic, poetic, comedic, scientific, religious, etc.
In addition, they were opposite at other times.
I had the script (the Holy Bible) on how to please God in my faithful performance, but was too busy repeatedly rehearsing them rather than performing the ACTS (Work of FAITH).
You see, HE assured me that because I love HIM and as long as I follow HIS instruction, all things would have a good and expected outcome; that He would always be there to direct my performance of the predestined role(s) I would play in the melodramatic renaissance of LIFE ~Living In Faith Everyday.
The problem is that I just as others do in uncertainty of the role we have been given by God is often trying to be the director, do much improvisation or ad-libbing, instead of keeping to the script of our lives as written by God via Jesus Christ crucifixion & resurrection. ~ [Author & Finisher of our Faith].
“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:2 KJV).
We get cocky & try to take the lead and before long, we are displaced from the role. We then enter periods of chastisement via the trying of our faith until we get it together, know our lines and precepts and ultimately we learn and begin to follow HIS lead.
[Romans 8:28 |Jeremiah 1:12 & 29:11| 1 Corinthians 2:9 |Hebrews 13:56 |1 Peter 1:7 |James 1:3-4 |1 Peter 4:8, more]
THE UNCERTAINTIES IN LIFE… exist in numerous forms but are most often or always the source of negating spiritual energy or sources. People often become bogged down via uncertainty with health, finance, relationships, employment, and other people. Let us explore this:
Perhaps the doctor gave you a negative report…
Perhaps your money issues or credit rating shows a downslope…
Perhaps your relationship(s) seem empty or biased…
Perhaps your job seems unproductive…
Perhaps other people never see well or speak good of you…
Well, uncertainty fuels lack in your confidence level(s) to align with it, rather than fighting it through assuring confidence of faith and the sufficiency of God’s grace. FAITH allows you to…
think on the brighter side of things, thus re-aligning the report and the visibility becomes evident in the unseen
you can better assess whether the job is working for or against you and/or vice versa
you began to accept the image that you were created in, learning to love who and whose you are
you become familiar with the role you were cast
You Were Bought With A Price…Glorify God in Body & Spirit which are God’s
“Forasmuch as thou saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure”
(Daniel 2:45 KJV)
YOU WERE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE!
“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:”
(Colossians 1:16 KJV)
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things”
(Philippians 4:8 KJV).
“Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you. To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen”
Ever dealt with Bullying, Intimidation or Just Inconsideration?
Some people need to practice a little more of that they preach. I am up to my elbows in contempt for the way people lie to kick it…Smile in your face & the second your back is turned; they’re conspiring.
Madear always taught us to treat people like we want to be treated. Sadly, & recently I nearly tapped out.
However, and thankfully, I love how God never remembers my REPENTED faults and it ALONE keeps me greeting others with a Holy Kiss despite the unmerited kindnesses I’ve shown towards those seemingly undeserving.
“And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works”
(Revelation 20:12 KJV).
I relate the opened book of life as having Lived In Faith Everyday, via Letters Instructing Focused Empathy, & having Lived Inspired & Forgiving Each other as God forgave us.
There are a lot of times & ways I show my support for others when preferably if left up to me (flesh) I would not…
Have you ever been in a relationship or friendship where it seemed biased on your behalf?
You’re the one who:
always pays for everything
values all of your time together i.e. activities and/or excursions
calls to check in more
always leads in prayer
communicates more
shows more concern, empathy, sympathy
quick to be morally or ethically supportive and compassionate
The minute you are unable to do any of these, that person vacates the association, friendship, marriage, etc.
These are what I like to call fair weather associations…only around when it’s beneficial for them.
Where are they when you could use or are in need of various support:
spiritual
moral/ethical
financial
emotional
physical/health
Before experiencing life (living in faith everyday) through variables like the trying of patience, tolerance/countenance, moods, and/or emotions; these things used to weigh me down.
There is something wonderful in spiritual growth, in that the journey of maturation allows you a better discernment, empathy, and forgiveness for these type behaviors, attitudes, unethical treatment, or the like.
You get to a place where you can courageously forgive and forget about it (vexations on others & sometimes self too) via intercession. That’s right! The best working prescription on the market today is PRAYER (in the spirit)!
It changes perspectives, thoughts, attitudes, understanding, morality, ethics, and most importantly it holds RESOLUTION.
I got to the place where GOD allows me via spiritual discernment to pick up on certain things that out of the spirit I would not have. I got to the place where looking at issues from other standpoints eradicates impatience and intolerance. It enhanced insight and promoted a diligence of confidence.
How?
I simply view everything, place, or person as GOD views me and always I say to myself, “Acknowledge Him in All My Ways”…
When I do this little ritual it frees me from the negativity tied to those demonic (or ill-willed) assignments that often others are unaware they attribute or employ ~ (from a deeper discernment level).
This is another reason I remain prayerful because not everyone practices spiritual cleansing as often as I do via intercession and often, I discern right away the presence of varying spirits [negating sources of energy], which are seductively filled with fallacy, pride, envy, jealousy, ascendancy, anger, irascibility and so on.
Make no mistake that this is a very real issue wrapped in the Words of Truth, that we are in an ongoing spiritual warfare with the need to be armed at all times. (Ephesians 6 KJV)
“But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled”
(2 Corinthians 10:2-6 KJV).
The next time things appear to be biased just PERFORM THE TESTS:
1 John 4 -Perfect the Love in your heart, mind, soul and life
Psalm 51 -Search the heart and ask for renewed spirit
Hebrews 10 -Practice Heartfelt Sincerity & Assurance of Faith
Philippians 4 -Know the difference in times of contention when facing halted blessings (they only stop when out of the will of God whether directly or indirectly from soul ties)
2 Corinthians 10 | John 10 -If it walks & quacks like a duck chances are it is a duck…if it does not LOOK, FEEL, SOUND like or EXEMPLIFY GOD as sovereign as opposed to self, then it needs immediate vanquishing (cast it down or out)
Philippians 2:14 |Mark 3:23-30 | Matthew 12:22-37 -STOP ALL BELLYACHING, CRITICISM, COMPETITION and/or DEBATES
Romans 12:2 | Luke 6:45 | -GUARD YOUR SOUL via governing your thought patterns, your speech, and your behavior
John 6:63 |John 10:27 |Galatians 5:22-23 | 1 Corinthians 12 | Revelation 2:7 | Colossians 2:8 | -Get to Know the Spirit of God, HE knows you
John 17:17 | Colossians 2 | Philippians 3:20 | Ephesians 2 | 1 John 4:1 | John 14:26 -Guard your ears and mouths that they may receive and cultivate ripened fruit of the spirit via faith (hearing of the WORD) & be alert to impostors

“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me”
Sometimes it is the very ones we most often love and trust which leave us clueless…just in deep thought is all.
Why is it that people we most admire, and/or respect cause us more hurt or worry than our normal fill?
Sometimes we bring it on via enabling or allowance & at other times, it is simply of ill intent.
I read somewhere in the biblical canon that “perfect love causes no ill will to its neighbor…KJV”
I have always been overly sensitive…the compassion I hold comes from empathy via experience with various hurts of my own. Therefore, I pray often and especially when I feel it will matter to intercede for others. I guess I can’t wrap my head around how quickly the enemy uses the very real love we hold for another against us…but then I remember the FAITH FIGHT.
Anyway…I’m glad what I assumed to be bad (for 10 hours) after much intercession had a pleasant result. I have made it a declaration to never overreact by the known, but to just stand fast in the unknown (evidence unseen…whether of bad or good report, trusting in the will of My FATHER that it is ultimately for good of HIS Glory).
“That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:” (1 Peter 1:7 KJV).
To God be the glory in ALL THINGS as I lay a firm hold in the SOLACE of these words:
“Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Psalm 37:1-2 KJV — Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation. Luke 20:46-48 KJV — A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed. Jeremiah 50:36 KJV — Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the Lord, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places. Deuteronomy 33:29 KJV”
Pardon my dust…just sweeping around these corridors and planting some faith seeds is all…as I have learned to remain content in the state I dwell seeing through FAITH, a perfected end, abounding (Philippians 4:12 KJV).
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
Now then, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen “Hebrews 11:1”.
WHAT PRESCRIPTIONS ARE YOU TAKING FOR PROSPERITY & HEALTH?
Presently, whatever your dreams are for changing the current non-working state of mind, relationships, or financial issues; see it through faith by… “Finding Availability In Trusting Him”
If you’re unhappy with something; explore what things make you happy and with love think on them, pray about them, and visualize them. If you’re hurting for whatever reason, explore causality of the pain and/or affliction, pray & visualize the prescription of the best medicine: LOVE in all things and strive to hear from Him about what needs to be done to alleviate the pain from the source via the power given you to annihilate the stronghold. Never accept pain in exchange for love. It is discord to the divine prescription for life “health & prosperity” and the medicine exalts you via positive side effects like unexplained PEACE and courage to persevere to see it manifest.

“Now then, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1 KJV).
“Embrace Your Confidence & Courage to Face the Unseen Evidence of Hope”…via FAITH ~Finding Availability In Trusting HIM
FAITH, CONFIDENCE, & COURAGE…THE BEST MEDICINE ON THE MARKET
