Immaturity
In Thy Loving Presence
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever, Thank you for opened-door blessings absent any sorrow, the favor of wisdom, understanding, counsel and knowledge on how to live humbled in thy sight laying hold to hope for a better and heavenly tomorrow; for and in all things to the expected end of your glory in this world and that to come dear FATHER, HALLELUJAH! Amen.

When we allow ourselves to be humbled in the ever omnipresence of the Lord, the closer we are in view of the face [glory] of the Most High. Humbling sits us down; just still and long enough to hear from the Lord, to taste and see that the LORD our GOD alone, is good…
~the Messenger
…Moreover:
- We learn to appreciate the beauty of holiness with holy fire; consumed in and going about His business spreading the good news of a freedom so rich and powerful.
- We get to a place where things that once used to trouble us, fade in comparison of the promises of God in every yes and amen.
- We learn that walking in faith means so much more, than mere believing; but actually trusting in who God is and how blessed we are to be gifted a part of him in power, love, and of a sound mind [CHRIST].
- We learn that this power is seated in authority of the Word of God. The same word and form of godliness FATHER wants us not to deny.
For instance, if we pray asking anything (whatsoever); FATHER says we shall have it if we believe. The works that the Lord did when he walked the earth was loaned to us to do even greater works (by faith). By faith we cast our bread [sowing of God’s Word, self-same faith seed authored and finished by Christ~the manna or bread of heaven]; upon many waters. Christ, is also the spiritual baptism, symbolic of our becoming washed by the water of life, which flows freely from within us [rivers of living water]. We sow this–His Word (seed of truth, power, love and sound mind); through faith never knowing when or expecting it to come back. Yet God’s Word does not come back void…. 
- It fulfills
- It quickens
- It cuts
- It divides
- It discerns
- It blesses
- It curses
- It heals
- It edifies
- It delivers
- ..but most importantly It saves
After many days [time]; it returns [harvest] and we see and experience of its fruition. No one knows for certain how lengthy the fermenting or germination process via time it will take for that thing to sprout up and grow forth. This is why FATHER encourages care of our communication…because of His gift of fire (another power); the tongue is dangerous—At times to our own detriment.
Sometimes, if we perform inventory—self-examination, we might find that our present is a reflective effect of our past cause(s)…especially where the WORD (creation) is of concern. Perhaps we should be careful what we put out in the power of the air. It may bump a cloud sending unexpected rain on what we thought may be an otherwise sunny day in time of life. —Still talking seed-time-harvest. Yet, it will be worked for our good; teaching us how to rain dance or to surf high tides…like riding waves or walking on water—We just face it head on, fearless & trusting God. May we never forget that there is a fine relationship between (1) our spiritual operations—work and (2) the impetus, resultant one from another via occasion, behavior or circumstances of events, surrounding around what we believe…”As a man thinks, so is he & we reap what is sown”——faith (alive or dead)

- We know the gospel has been preached abroad and in some cases in record time to add, which confirms a part of the missionary (disciplined ambassadors or ministers of the Word of God); the nature of Christ.
- There are still some who consider others before themselves in alms, love, charity, communication and fellowship; the nurture of Christ.
- Still another few are zealous, enthusiastic, willing and ready to hear, obey and do for one another without hesitation or expectation (paying it forward); the passion of Christ. This same few garner strength and readiness to do so despite opposition, persecution, attempts to kill steal or destroy there mission; the love and power of Christ.
- Those of us who are maturing in moral behavior, spiritual discernment, consciousness, and better use of our free will; pay less attention to outer forces, even amidst them; the mind of Christ.
It’s such an amazing place…to be nestled in His loving presence.

“O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed” (Psalm 34:3-5).

Psalm 34:8-13
O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusts in him. O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord. What man is he that desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

Luke 10:1-9
After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest. Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
Luke 12:2-5
For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
Luke 12:6-12
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: But he that denies me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemes against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say
As always we encourage our readers/audience to never take our word for it, yet to the seek the Lord on it. Furthermore, we ask consideration to remember, that the messenger is minuscule to the profundity of the message.

Bullying, Intimidation, & Inconsideration
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
