Outward  Appearances

Posted on

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear”

Hebrews 11:1-8

🎭 Outward 🎭 Appearances

“But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7 KJV).

“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen [are] temporal; but the things which are not seen [are] eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:18).

“Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? if any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s” (2 Corinthians 10:7).


Why is it that we pay more attention to outward appearances? Could it be because we only believe that which we see (temporal, physical, tangible, touchable)? 

e9aa22a981cd31e18673949698038fa5Someone raised a very hard-pressed question of opinion about a peace sign or symbol with strong reference to his or her understanding of its symbolism—meaning through time’s dispensation regarding supposed military opinion (cowardliness) and/or a former “hippie” expression (Para Personal Communication—Mosley, 2018). We found scriptural support that the things, i.e. humanity, clouds, forests, trees, rivers, oceans, streams, mountains, prairies, deserts, etc.——which appear or are in our view, did not derive from the things we can thus see in front of us;——i.e. other people, animals, skyscrapers, boats, planes, trains, automobiles, etc., but were rather contrived, created or arrived from somewhere sight unseen or are seen by faith as written in Hebrews Eleven (Para, vv. 1-8, KJV).

Subjectively; we have gone over similar studies, agreements and refutations via research before and/or on the basis of popular opinion for additional support. Yet, over and given time, we have come to realize that everything has symbolism affixed to it. Consequently, some things are given much reprieve or amnesty (i.e. flags, statues, chains, ropes, sheets/hoods or other symbols representing violence, oppression  slavery, etc.) over others via dispensation.

 

Subjectively, no matter what symbolism we may adjoin an idea; expressed or otherwise contiguous of a person, place and/or thing, we must simply wait for the revealed purposes via the more innate one(s). Some may feel this is a weak approach to such a weighty topic. Yet given a subjective moral aptitude, we find it fortunate in doing so based upon the following:

  • 1-peter-1-8-9If we practice accepting or buying goods strictly for their label (outward packaging or look), we could never fully appreciate its content, quality, or dependability.
  • We may never know what truly went into the process of packaging the product in order to appreciate any intrinsic value(s) it may hold.
  • Sometimes the inside or inner detail of a thing has a way of delineating the outer appearances.
  • Rarely, though the outward appearance gives an introduction of what’s probable expectations.
  • The abrasive austerer exterior——(i.e. something ostensible or superficial)——of a thing; can really hide what is delicate, fragile and/or very flawless or unembellished on the inside of a thing.

1_6FIFQA1_oRGFY-CBBHo3IgFor example; diamonds don’t grow on trees, don’t appear from out of nowhere and do not as a norm,  nor initially arrive wrapped in cute or fancy gift boxes. They come from a  carbon/molten hard, rocky habitat deep within the earth’s crust, whereby it——as does everything on earth, had a purpose toward its fulfillment.  We cannot keep holding on to things which no longer serve us or rather we shouldn’t. Longevity is not a free for all.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5;17). 

There are plenteous things in this day and age (time——or the dispensation thereof), which no longer serve us such as hate; racism; bigotry; unrighteous judgement; oppression; discrimination, more. Yet, still and unfortunately, we are guilty of still utilizing some of them.


“One who is always deceived, often allows themselves to be «» Exercise wisdom & discernment «» Seek to know if it’s good or no «» Everything that glitters ain’t gold” (n.d.) 

ff9600b0727a082080ea45b14164f7d1


When does it become a unified effort to put things of this nature behind, in order to move forward?  


when-worth-takes-on-a-new-perspective

 

 

 

 

The answer is always—every day, are we to attempt to lay aside every challenging weight, which seeks our demise or destruction. No matter how many clues exist in time regarding eternity, none of them have an exact itinerary for the departure time(s) into it. Therefore, taking advantage of the time at hand, to make this world we live in a tad better is a notable and very courageous effort. It will not ever be the easiest, but it will be honorable. Remember, no man knows the hour or the day…———“But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” (Matthew 24:36)

Finally, whatever insentient or inanimate signpeacetakes on for us, it should never push us towards the sowing of discord.

Look Alive Soldiers!



As members of a unified body; most things should be in synchronicity.
Synchronicity-blog-graphic_blog-300x300
Although life differs for each of us; the journey holds the same destiny (Eternal Life). Whether or not that eternity is damnation or salvation, it is up to us.

There are some more things that hold similarity along this the journey.  They are seed, time, harvest, obedience, asking, seeking, knocking, and prayer & fasting. 



Seed:🌱 🌰seeds

the beginning or the opening up of Time and that, which consists therein
For every seedling planted, there is also the expectancy of its arrival (transformation)——For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting (Galatians 6:8). 

——And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel (Genesis 3:15)

——Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ (Galatians 3:16)

——Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God (Luke 8:11)


8afa4d330c6009c0a9f339e37cd114baTime: ⏲️

With each day we’re given, there’s perseverance towards the next, never having taken for granted of the former. Time definitely stands still for no one, so take heed as to how it’s appropriated——I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. (Ecclesiastes 3:17). 

“And that, knowing the time, that now [it is] high time to awake out of sleep: for now [is] our salvation nearer than when we believed”——Romans 13:11 


Harvest: 🌾🌼🌳: images (4)

The exposure of experiences resultant of our cultivation (growth). This is what’s brought forth from diligence, obedience, sacrifice or even rebellious sowing. The spiritual harvest is always plentiful in abundance and blessings——He becomes poor that deals with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent makes rich. He that gathers in summer is a wise son: but he that sleeps in harvest is a son that causes shame. Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covers the mouth of the wicked (Proverbs 10:4-6).

——” For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now [is] the accepted time; behold, now [is] the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2)


obedience_orig-e1530825258324.jpgObedience:👂& 🙉🙈🙊:

Hear & Do…it’s that simple, at least to say it, it is. However, it’s difficult sometimes to do right things in the presence of wrong actions and those of others. Yet, we must not allow room for distractions or hindrance on our course. We must continue to increase our faith, strengthening our patience thru the hearing of the word of God. We fall off sometimes with our studying, but if we diligently seek him via our studying; He’ll write His law on our hearts. This way we are never far from it. To obey means to come under submission/subjection to or humbling of ourselves in front of ethereal righteousness, doing and/or adhering to God’s will over our own——For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous (Romans 5:19).



images (5)Asking ❔❓:

Ask but at the same time Believe everything we’re asking and be thankful and always expecting the answer. The HOLY GHOST is here to present us with all truths necessary to our pilgrimage thru life. This epic journey thru life will definitely present us with examinations or things, with which to catechize with the FATHER being the sole & soul of whom when we inquire; will not withhold information but is yet, forthcoming. Always be mindful and careful about what is asked because when you ask and whatsoever you ask, you shall receive. Always remember that when we pray prayers of petitions (asking for and of) the MOST HIGH, to both ready & conscious of the inevitable positioning or arranging of us us to receive THAT answer via GIVING. To whom much is given, much is required——Luke 12:48, so if we anticipate the giving of the LORD per our request, petition and/or asking; we most definitely need to be aware of what the MOST HIGH will require of us to receive THAT answer———-with a full understanding that HIS thoughts and ways aren’t like ours——Isaiah 55:8-9; he is able to do exceeding abundantly above what’s asked——Ephesians 3:20-21. HE requires us to do justly, love mercy (forgiveness, sympathy, compassion, grace, tolerance, liberality and/or charity and magnanimity); and to walk humbly with our God——He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God (Micah 6:8)?
download (4)
We have to be aware of the angels unawares (strangers) that may be strategically placed before us to test the wills of our GIVING, concerning our and their supply of abundance. 2 Corinthians 8:12-14


probing-questionsSeeking: 👀👀📜:

Always strive to see the inward vision, but also knowing that provision supersedes what’s ahead…look earnestly——But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul (Deuteronomy 4:29).

——”But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33)

 ——”But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way” (1 Corinthians 12:31)


Knock: 🚪🔐🔒🔓:images (6)

To knock implies we need something opened for us in this life. Maybe it’s something inside of us or perhaps outside of ourselves, but rest assured there is only one Supreme key master——Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me (Revelation 3:20).

——Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened (Matthew 7:7-8)


Prayer: 🤲🙏📿⛪:images (8)

Simply stated, this is one of the most successful operations of diligence towards prosperity. This is the most profound communication we have with the MOST HIGH about EVERYTHING & ANYTHING we want, need, or desire to disclose and/or to inquire——Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak (Matthew 26:41).

——Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause (1 Kings 8:45) 

——Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17) 

——I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day (2 Timothy 1:3) 


Fasting:🚫⛔download (5)

The power of abstinence is the greatest test of wills. We teach our mind, body, and spirit how to reflect, reject, let go or postpone access to and/or of certain unhealthy people, places, and especially of unrighteous things——Howbeit this kind goes not out but by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21)



May we often remember that the bravest steps taken are those moving forward—Moving forward past lessons via trials by faith; some involving hurt, guilt, shame and/or blame…yet all via forgiveness.



We Fought a Good Fight & Kept the Faith…

a-testimonial-perfecting-faith
Faith has helped us thru tragedy or perhaps some of the gravest moments of our life’s course.

  • We didn’t think we’d make it this far, things didn’t look bright looking ahead (futuristic) but we persevered.
  • We thought the loss was all we could take or deal l with at the time, but we pressed onward.
  • We didn’t know how to convey or exude love, but patience became a ethereal virtue of instructions, showing us just who and what LOVE is, and its functionality. Thereby teaching us via wisdom, the very quintessential essences of stepping forward to LOVE.
    #LoveHarder


May we grow together in power, love, and soundness of mind. May we move forward towards liberty beyond the turbulent debris along our pathways. May we love in unison the life we’ve been given, being grateful for the vessel of the Most High GOD’S choosing. Trusting that in creation, there are no mistakes, just food for the soul and rest for the old.

Unlocking 🔓Blocked Blessings…

Posted on

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Matthew 7:6

UNLOCKING 🔓BLOCKED BLESSINGS



What Are Blocked Blessings?

Blocked blessings consist of reversed charities; wrongful chatter, lack or void of understanding and a variety of covetousness, often in the form of strongholds. Blocked blessings are also the kind of goodness and ethereal gifts of knowledge, spirit and truth, which we refute from self and others due to misunderstanding, narcissism, selfish pride, or from mere ignorance via negatively fixed mindsets——

Fulfill Ye My Joy....
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:5-11

Reversed Charity is when we give to to the wrong people, organizations, ministries, etc. I bet you’re wondering how can we do this, if giving is divine. Simple, no giving is wrong in that respect, but when we are fruitful in our giving: download (1)

  • We acknowledge giving where GOD has placed it upon our hearts to give.
  • We give where the ground (of receiving) is open and free (has a heart of love and giving as well).
  • We give where our seeds become fruitful

To be fruitful also has the accompaniment of multiplicity. *See Genesis 1:22-28; 8:17 & 9:1. Therefore, it (the seeds🌱 or our giving) after being planted, has to grow towards a harvest, 🌾to be plucked up, replenished and once again planted elsewhere.

Never 🚫Allow Others to Block Blessings…

We all know that there is a blessing in giving or being charitable. Have you ever been taken aback in your giving by an unseen force prompting you not to give?

That’s because the spirit (heart) knows good (hallow) ground as opposed to fallow ground (Hosea 10:12 & Jeremiah 4:3). Sometimes people who were once tenderhearted and kind are now cold-hearted and mean, non-giving.

bible-gun-banner

Although we can not determine the entire contents of the heart, we can  discern truth within the hearts of others by way of the Most High. further assured that God knows and sees all——For a man’s ways are before eyes of the LORD, and the Lord watches all his paths (Proverbs 5:21)

This is because they’ve allowed the tares of life’s trials and errors to grow up as weeds in their hearts and minds, choking the very love that is still there away from them. This is an example of fallow ground and until the Most High breaks that ground up, we may be guilty of sowing in wrong seasons or casting our pearls before swine (unclean & wallowing in the mire—mud) or over saturated murky ground.

350px-A14WastelandBiome
Hosea 10:12-13 
Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.

Their over-saturation, is sometimes unmagnetized (all over the place/instability) and transferable , with the ability repossess its locale (namely us)——A wasteland, where hardly anything productive grows. Therefore we must tread lightly, in our giving of seeds (WORD) and of monetary or tangible gifts (DEED) as well. This is because our words are generally going in one ear and out of the other or they fall on deaf ears, being unheard, ignored or cast off. Our gifts of charity, when sown on fallow ground are usually buried in the mire (mud)——crushed by rocky surroundings (situations/issues of life)——

 

“Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ . . . But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
Ephesians 4:13-15, 20-24

download

“Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil” (Proverbs 4:26-27).

How these things block our blessings is via rotting (non-fruitfulness, stunted growth and/or stagnation). Rotting takes on many physical and spiritual forms as well. Rotting in the physical is a deteriorating wasting away of dying things, or people. Spiritually, the effects are similar, only that our inward gifts are becoming dis-eased and our thinking is non-conducive to the prolonging of life (i.e. Corruption)——For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh (Psalm 38:7) 

Corruption: A Nasty Blessing Blocker

Corruption is a pit of decay, destruction, or dangerous toxins to life progression and productivity——For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting (Galatians 6:8).

images

Corruption is similar of today’s high-mindedness, character flaws via the perishing of morals, integrity, ethics, character, behavior, and other manners of Kingdom Living——

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things (Romans 1:22-23)

IEPM_STCBNM_ArtofWar_122014_Eph6KJV
FIGHT the GOOD FIGHT

 

Corruption is the pulling down and damaging of things filled with life’s prosperity. Corruption is the murky cloudiness of right thinking and beliefs. Corruption tears down others’ dreams, goals or ambitions. It negates everything good, right, or wholesome. It is a dis-empowering effect of death via sin (murderous)——But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption (2 Peter 2:12).



BREAKING Away From & UNLOCKING 🔓 The Blocked Blessing (STRONGHOLDS)….

When we do not live a prayerful or faithful, forgiving life, the weapons are heavy (burdensome, tiring, intrusive and hard to manage). On the other hand, if we practice prayer, forgiveness and utilization of the gift of discernment; breaking away should be less difficult——“Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God” {Romans 8:21) 123951MindOfChrist

When we communicate more effectively, we open the doors of  truth and justice in the universe to assist our growth. We must practice loyalty and honesty towards each other. ——“Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him” (Colossians 3:9-10)

When we refuse to sin in our anger, we pull down the corrupting strongholds of guilt, hurt, shame, etc. Unrepentant anger is one form of sin (perversion) that often makes one smaller, while forgiveness makes one grand. It also shows growth beyond the status quo. Each time we intend to hurt another and they forgive us….“Make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame will not be debilitated, but rather healed” (Hebrews 12:13).

peterustinov1-2x

They get a new and worry-free path in life because “love is not only a selfless, endless act of forgiveness” (Para, Ustinov, n.d.). It is a characteristic of the Most High God and thereby a spiritual gift of integrity——He that walks uprightly walks surely: but he that perverts his ways shall be known (Proverbs 10:9)

 

 

Forgiveness-Quotes-When-You-Forgive-Others
Proverbs 13:23 
 Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.

Finally, to permanently unlock these blocked blessings, we need to practice walking in love, the light of truth, by faith and via forgiveness (merciful)——And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments (Exodus 20:6)

ITWS: PART 1—The Inevitable Transformation of the Black Man ¤Like A Butterfly¤ The African Diaspora or Scattering of a Nation(a people)
#RoyalPriesthood #Significance #Kingdom

Below are photos of the sublime, yet timeless messages left for all of us to read…both synonymous and symbolic of the Black Butterfly, in that they point to power shifts, transition, renewal or birth and culturally, longevity.

Darkness or nighttime precedes the dawn of each new day just as there is weeping before joy or a beginning and an ending, ergo there is an original man (black/darkness ), which was created from thought (conception of an idea or royal precept or command) and in this case without form (Matrices) and void (Free); according to scripture. See Genesis 1-2

A spectacular event took place with this creation in that man died before ever having been born. Elaboration: Adam Male/Female both had to be transitioned or renewed (formed, created and/or made) before spirit concealed life within them (vessels). See Romans 6-8.

“For he that is dead is freed from sin” (Romans 6:7).

Now we may better understand according to scripture, the original man was created free(void) from the law of sin and death ¤aka the matrices¤ (form or formalities) of this world. See Romans 7:1-6 thru 8.

“For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin” (Romans 7:14).

Remember it is by one man that sin (separation from GOD (our origin, pedigree, lineage, descent) via slavery, bondage, trangressors of divine law), entered the world. See Romans 5:12-21

***** Look Deeper Simba 👀👀👀 🐻sold under sin “And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not” (John 1:5) *****

1200px-Bdellium_resin
To the left is Bdellium or Black gold, a precious stone, which comes from a life giving tree secretion, ergo the tree of life that is at the nape or foot of a body of flowing water. See Genesis 2:12; 1 Corinthians 3:10-11; Numbers 11:7 & Revelation 21:18-21….I shared this to point out a significance to origin and/or the Motherland.

Raw Black Onyx Stone

To the right is the Raw Black Onyx Stone, an oxide mineral, but traditionally a black colored diamond or gem; courage, protection and solidarity-based in spirit. Its metaphysical properties consist of emotional and physical development responsible for the transformation and absorption of negativity, stress, confusion and grief.

“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints” (1 Corinthians 14:33).

I shared this to show further demography and geographic lineage or matrilineal descents of the Motherland (Africa) See Mitochondrial Eve–MRCA

ITWS: PART 2—The Inevitable Transformation of the Black Man ¤¤Like A Butterfly¤¤ The African Diaspora or Scattering of a Nation(a melaninated people)
#RoyalPriesthood #Significance #Kingdom

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
The Black Butterfly, is symbolic and synonymous to signify power shifts, transition, renewal or birth and culturally, longevity
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆



God has set the course of our lives; similar to the metamorphosis of a butterfly and via scattering as a people (A Royal Nation); We have received a more fabulous blessing towards fruition.

Not only is our journey back to freedom, but he has positioned us globally to transition or shift the power of love into lands we as the original man perhaps had or even presently, have never seen.

“All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made” (John 1:3).

As a visionary, I see the black butterfly moving as spiritual evidence of a more deepened revelation—power shift towards a greater future

As aforementioned, in the beginning, the original man was created from concept or thought, that is to say, precept or general command; as in “Let us or let there be” and according to scripture it was. See Genesis 1-2

“Breathed the image and likeness of God into the form of man”

(Para, Genesis 1:3-27 & 2:7).

Darkness on the Face of the DEEP: Our Unfathomable Scattering from Genesis to Now & Beyond.

Gen according to Merriam Webster, is the etymological variant of geno—offspring, race, genus—again the homeland, mother’s land (Eastward of Eden, Ethiopian area, [Ancient Africa & India] called Asia.

☆SEVEN as the Spiritual # of Completion:

The same places are home to the 7 candlesticks, the above mentioned churches —a people not buildings, 7 stars; the angels of these churches or provincial people, 7 spirits of God, more. See Revelation 1-21 & Deuteronomy 29

  1.  Ephesus
  2.  Smyrna
  3.  Pergamum (Pergamos)
  4.  Thyatira
  5. Sardis
  6.  Philadelphia
  7. Laodicea

See the Map of Ancient Asia (below).

“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear” (Hebrews 11:3).

123951[1]
This sort of transition gives new light or meaning to “Enlarge my territory”, right. 🌝🌚 How splendid it is to have the shift in power towards reeducation!!! Where unlike the past, we now knowing better; treat and support one another better. See James 4:17

The strengths are no longer misused or abused and like Jacob, we may have courage to wrestle long enough to look upon the Angel of the LORD, with recognition of our place, taste and see the stratagem in positioning of blessings to us from the LORD with no additional sorrows.

“Black Butterfly”

Morning light, silken dream take flight
As the darkness gives way to the dawn
You survived, now your moment has arrived
Now your dream has finally been born

Black Butterfly, sail across the waters
Tell your sons and daughters what the struggle brings
Black Butterfly, set the skies on fire
Rise up even higher
So the ageless winds of time can catch your wings

ooh…ooh

While you slept, the promise was unkept
But your faith was as sure as the stars
Now you’re free, and the world has come to see
Just how proud and beautiful you are

Black Butterfly, sail across the waters
Tell your sons and daughters what the struggle brings
Black Butterfly, set the skies on fire
Rise up even higher
So the wind can catch your wings

Let the current lift your heart and send it soaring
Write your timeless message clear across the skies
So that all of us can read it and remember when we need it
That a dream conceived in truth can never die
Butterfly

Cause now you’re free and the world has come to see
Just how proud and beautiful you are

Black Butterfly, sail across the waters
Tell your sons and daughters
what the struggle brings
Black Butterfly, set the skies set them on fire
Rise up even higher so the ageless winds of time can catch your wings

Fly
Butterfly
Yeah, yeah, yes
Fly

e9c599f4bd72e57c5a3fb2fe6190f973[1]GREETINGS BELOVED of the MOST HIGH…❤ SHABBAT SHALOM & BLESSINGS TGIF!! 🎉

A set apart time for rest in our LORD.

May it reveal gratitude for the past week’s answered prayers and the receipt of our heart’s desires. May it usher in more via brand-new mercies and daily loaded benefits such as perfect peace, a supernatural strength of resounding joy via family-friendly enjoyment of both remembering and creating cherished memories; full of beautiful laughter & a plethora of GOD’S LOVE. May we understand that to rest signifies a surrender from this present world’s tedium, demands & unnecessary anxieties to focus on the Holy Ghost’s motherly/nurturing guidance of us in FATHER’s will towards a prevailing soul sanctification by the truth of life. May we remember L.I.F.E. is “Living in Faith Everyday”… Faith is evidence of the hidden things being made manifest from our hope’s soothing substance. It is God’s fortification towards us for our hearing and obedience. May we reflect on how more to be a blessing towards one another absent fear via this gift of power, love and sound mind, this we pray in Christ’s name, Amen.

Genesis 1:1-2:4 & Revelation 21:1-27

“Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness” 2 Peter 3:13

Can you fathom a place or environment where there is no sadness or weeping? 16143527_403532426652007_8408279238045702254_o

O people in Zion, inhabitant in Jerusalem, you will weep no longer. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you. Isaiah 30:19

What’s the main requirement to become a new creature and to have all things become new? 16252185_403539896651260_8345193966560423840_o

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17

Is is truth can we trust it? ask-in-my-name

And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. Revelation 21:5

Who’s who in the heaven, old and/or new? 

 

Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your’s;  And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s. 1 Corinthians 3:22-23 16177462_403536623318254_5766710678373415750_o

What’s a good direction for finding this new heaven? 16177588_403537169984866_2307271333389907315_o

Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness. 2 Peter 3:13

Again, where have we been in earth, where there wasn’t tears shed, death occurring, grief, sobbing, and pain of varying kinds? 

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 21:416179269_403537879984795_7648970209493031037_o

Is there such a place where we don’t have to pay for sins of our forefather’s, a place fit for a new constitution for good life, eternal? 

 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come Romans 5:1416708528_414570038881579_5079675411954661637_n

That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:21

Do we truly enjoy the good of all our labor, or is it exploited via mandates, borders, limitations in the guise of censure, licensing, and certification? 

And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor, it is the gift of God. Ecclesiastes 3:13

They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. Isaiah 65:23-2416681908_412236805781569_8599172136196910583_n

Yea, I hated all my labor which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me. And who knows whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labor wherein I have labored, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity. Ecclesiastes 2:18-19

Does the new heaven bring about new joy? 16177900_403533096651940_2121083446199818566_o

The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. Zephaniah 3:17

Where does this new fruition or growth originate…where is the seed born? 

But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof. Isaiah 6:13

And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. Isaiah 65:19-20 16425879_407429616262288_8704362394822243601_n

A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. Psalm 22:30

 And I will bring the third part through the fire, Refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are My people,’ And they will say, ‘The LORD is my God.’ Zechariah 13:9

One thing I have noticed is that when living by faith, there is most always a storm [noise] to pass through. In life, we seem to desire an ample amount of noise to confirm many things around and/or for us. Sometimes those noises serve to otherwise distract us.  I’ve found it is right there in the off season,”in the calm” where I realize, we may be directly in the eye of the storm.  Thankfully, Praise Yah! …the Most High allows us to hide in His Almighty shadow [the calm].

“When thou passes through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walks through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee” (Isaiah 43:2).

“And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain” (Isaiah 4:6).

He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust” (Psalm 91:1-2)



Before, During and After the Storm…

Usually we receive a warning before the storm such as with lightning, thunder, wind or sudden changes in temperatures. In our lives, things are very similar. Sometimes “the calm” precedes the storm causing us to discern things more readily or pushing us to pray more fervently and effectively to add. At other times due pride, our countenance falls leading us to dig emotional pits, in which we commonly fall into first before hosting pity parties about it via corrupt communication, behavior or response to the unseasonable emotions [storms of life, tempest rages]. executing-comfort

  “Pride goes before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18)



Subsequently, we tend to somehow prefer the noise over the calm  because subconsciously it affirms our position in the midst of the storm  [i.e. noise]. This is another reason why we walk in the spirit, by faith and not by sight.

The wonderful thing about “the calm” is when walking in the spirit by faith; we are conscious of our surroundings sight unseen, noise included…yet there is a refuge of unknown peace which sustains us.

Therefore, it’s beneficial to be watchful for signs in our spiritual surroundings, which may point us to the the eye of the storm or “the calm”. Look for like-minded persons who are open to sharing of their experiences (testimonies) of the goodness of the Most High. Be watchful of the changes in our own seasons and those of others (i.e. moods, habits, behavior,  convictions and passions).



How to notice the stormy season(s) have passed:

  1. The experience occurs first, afterwards our convictions or passions will generally confirm or deny the perfection or success of bearing the storm.
  2. Next, we share the experience; especially, if it is a driven good or positive energy of purpose. 


 “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring” (Luke 21:25)

After the storm clears…the vision becomes clearer. Our visibility is more focused on the seriousness of the Most High’s plan or will for us from the experience towards His glory and an expected end of eternal salvation. 16252009_403534976651752_4214484762043804629_o

Things to note about the vision:

  • We’re subjectively accountable for the growth or lack thereof.
  • Don’t look for pleasure from any other than the Most High where your vision is concerned… (remember, He wrote and finished it via  Jesus “Yahshua Messiah” the Christ through the trials (storms) by faith. The same trials bring us to “patience” an ultimate calm in the form of full trust and confidence in and of who the Most High is.
  • Remember direction gives us both boundaries and limitations and that vision determines the need, or gives confirmation of clearer view (vision, calm).
  • Allow the Most High to be the GPS via the storms [God’s Plan of Salvation].
  • Never allow our faith to become stagnant in the midst of mediocrity or disparagement when the way seems cloudy. Avoid confusion of what sustains us as a subjectively pensive provision. There is a bigger and better unseen evidence awaiting; and this doesn’t contribute to its directing from the Holy spirit into all truth. A truth which eyes haven’t seen, ears haven’t heard nor has it entered into our hearts of things God has planned for those of us who love him and “for good” who are called (appointed) according to his purpose” (Para Is 64:4 & Rom 8:28).
  • Finally, know that those who don’t share or have similar confirmation of the appointed vision will sometimes find displeasure of yours. Always refer to what your vision says about and to you and not what the world wants you to conform to. Be diligent, studious, attentive, watchful, prayerful and obedient to the Most High, to get a clearer route towards the “calm” to arrive at the appointed time of the vision.

“For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waits for him” (Isaiah 64:4).



SEE OURSELVES via SPIRITUAL SPECS: See Ourself In the Calm of the Vision

Proverbs 29:18

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keeps the law, happy is he.

16177900_403533096651940_2121083446199818566_o

 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry

Habakkuk 2:3



We hope this will inspire others to abide “In the Calm” of life’s storms. Those storms are built in temptations to distract us from waiting patiently on the appointed time of the vision; though it seems to tarry. Each time we yield to temptations, it acts as a detour causing us to start over again, carelessly looking for a route around the storms…when we via strength of joy can weather them to get to the secret dwelling place of the Most High.

What we took from our study:

Awesome & Mighty is the Most High God…Yah always brings His purpose to pass
Dying to self means being reborn of the spirit…Be thankful to be resurrected via Christ. We bend but don’t break under the pressure of opposition. We confide in the greater in us (the inward man). Being born again of the spirit allows us to face all truths, even our ugly ones. That is exemplary of the beauty of holiness…it separates the good from the evil and it rights or renews the good via perfect love casting away every “fear” (which is not a spirit given us of Yahweh).
 
Our wrath is minuscule compared to the wrath of the Most High; therefore, we should not sin in our anger nor bellyache and waddle in sorrow(s). Yah wills every step of man towards righteousness in Himself…[] “For the wrath of man works not the righteousness of God” []..Praise Yah!
 
Above our thoughts, plans, emotions, or feelings about it are the good and perfect gifts from Yah towards us [] Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above” [], Hallelujah!
possess-ye-your-souls
Possessing our soul takes patience worked through the trials of our faith…So be thankful right now for the trials because whom the LORD loves, he chastens and seek to experience love via patiently resting in the Most High. Hallelujah! 
Psalm 29:2
Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

When our spiritual growth is transparent, there’s nothing the enemy can utilize against us. Hallelujah! god-is-in-control

Psalm 91:5-7 
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flies by day; Nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness; nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee

Knowing Is Doing…

Posted on

daily-meditations-wakeup2016_2017There are many lessons which life teaches us, when one takes those lessons to heart, he or she does better later on. This is how the trials of our faith teach us patience…that is; how to trust, confide, and depend on the Lord. When we know better…we are drawn to do better.

~the Messenger

What are some lessons we can look to and/or for change?

  • Appearance
  • Associations
  • Behavior
  • Character
  • Conversations
  • Deeds
  • Endeavors
  • Habits
  • Itineraries

humility-before-honor-the-love-of-yahThe way a person appears is often mistook for who that person is or rather what he or she represents. When we seek to look more like ourselves (inward man) is when we truly become free from worldly appearances and presumed assumptions and opinions.

Who one hangs out with is also a generalization of who a person is and/or represents. We must be mindful of the company we keep.

  • How we act in front of people and alone says much about one’s character.truth-compassion-good-moral-character

These can often be different due to some of the above factors. Sometimes one is pushed to acting like someone or something their not simply trying to fit in to certain groups of association (worldly view).

However, when alone one can have the realization or epiphany that it isn’t who they truly are. They can indirectly become bitter, cold-hearted and insensitive. For instance, a man or woman who goes to work every day may represent a certain air at work such as being punctual, authoritative, steadfast and hard-working, knowledgeable about every thing that has to do with his/her occupation.

be-mindful-of-theYet still be clueless outside of work about the functionality of life such as relationships, conversations, endeavors, itineraries, cordiality or the like. Sometimes people are simply broken, unbeknownst to themselves. They forgot their first love and/or don’t truly know love and in the midst of  such brokenness, he or she becomes too busy in mundane activities, endeavors, itineraries or similar as aforementioned, to recognize let alone truly hear from God. (Distraction).

“Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices” (Proverbs 1:31).



 Is It Okay To Shut Others Out? When? Why?



Perhaps there are times when one should close others out, but those times are set apart for personal worship, prayer, fastings, meditations or health reasons. Other times one may need to not only shut another out but move away from him/her indefinitely as to rebuke unrighteous soul ties. the-lord-requires-of-thee

Everyone needs space and or time to recollect themselves, that is a given. Yet, we must try as we may, not to break the bridges we’ve crossed on our journey as well. Life has a way of changing one’s itinerary to cross some of those same old bridges or paths again. If we have cause damage to said paths the route may be a difficulty ahead.

That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought. Isaiah 29:21

flee-corrupt-communicationWe can’t hurt people  along the way and expect their trust to be misguided in us if life makes it where we have to meetup again.  Yes, communication includes our deeds as well because if we willfully sin, it’s because of miscommunication (not having an on-going commune with God, who draws all unto himself via chastening and quickening.

Likewise, if we mistreat people, we must not have had the correct communication concerning the law of reciprocity, reaping & sowing, seed-time & harvest, & or doing unto others as we would they do unto us, ergo “Corrupt”.

loveisreciprocationpoeticprose
Love Yah, Self & Others

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Proverbs 3:6 

We have to have some growth towards the fruition of doing greater than what we’ve outgrown…When we know better, we do better. We handle people and/or things differently and with a more intricate respect for our subjective humility to the Most High. If we get further away from people-pleasing, we might actually enjoy the sorrow-less, rich blessings in the daily loads of benefits from Yah.

But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which tries our hearts….When a man’s ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him
