Comfortable Airplane Ride

I fly a lot and the single complaint I hear the most is the seats are not comfortable. These people paid for economy seats and expected first class leg room.

No one ever thinks about the pilot. He has an uncomfortable seat also. Have you ever set in a cockpit? I have, I use to fix aircraft and the pilots don’t have first class seating either. Not only do they have uncomfortable seating, they have to multitask the whole flight to ensure we get to our destination safely.

Sometimes we treat Jesus the same as we do the airlines. We want a comfortable ride. We give Jesus a low economy praise and we want him to give us a first class blessing. We never ask him how he feels and we don’t realize he’s constantly multitasking while getting us safely to our destiny. Whenever Jesus doesn’t give us our first class blessing, we start complaining how much we don’t like the church and how many problems the church has.

Keep in mind, you can’t come against God’s church and think he’s going to be ok with that. So stop looking for the comfortable airplane ride in the natural and the spiritual, if you are only willing to pay economy prices.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

After The Storm

When we were giving the all clear today after the storm was over, the sun was shining bright. So, I went bike riding.

As I began to ride my bike, the wind started blowing hard. I was literally riding my bike in slow motion. As I was riding, God began to speaking to me letting me know, because the sun is shining doesn’t mean that you don’t need me anymore. I let the wind blow just to show you, without me there is nothing you can do.

See, when the storm was coming numerous prayers were offered up to God. But, as soon as the storm was over; it was back to business as usual.

God shouldn’t have to bring a storm to get us to pray and he shouldn’t have to keep the wind blowing to keep us praying.

The Storms Coming

Tomorrow the typhoon is suppose to hit us, so everyone is making preparations today. In making all of these preparations I wonder how many of us are preparing our souls as well.

Have we asked for forgiveness, have we repented, have we loved with all of our hearts? It’s funny how we store up water, batteries, flashlights and so on; and we take our souls for granted.

The older generation use to sing there’s a storm out on the ocean and it’s moving this ole way and if your souls not anchored in Jesus then you will surely drift away. Isn’t it something how the meteorologist can predict when the storm is going to hit, but they cannot predict how our souls are going to fare after the storm.

I think today is a great day to get your soul right and no matter what the storm brings; whether death, destruction or both you know without a doubt that your soul is anchored in the Lord.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Speak Lord

When we pray; speak to me Lord, how do we look for him to speak? Are we missing the voice of God because we think we know how he’s going to answer us?

I’ve learned to look for God through everything. The birds, the fowl of the air, children, tv, work, church, etc… We serve a multidimensional God, so why do we expect him to show up in one way and the same way all the time.

The next time you say; speak to me Lord, start listening for his voice. He doesn’t always come through prophets. He comes through at anywhere, anytime and anyplace.

Asking All These Questions

Today I decided to take off work and spend the day with my grandson. While we were getting ready for the day, he began to talk to me and tell me all about his friends. When he finished talking, I started asking him questions about what he just told me. He answered my questions, then all of a sudden, he started singing: asking all these, asking all these questions, why you asking all these questions. Did I mention he’s only 3yrs old.

I started laughing and the Holy Spirit said; that’s what you do. The Lord begins talking to you and telling you things but because you won’t take him totally at his word, you be asking all these questions. I was like WOW!!! And a child shall lead them.

Blaming Others

Stop blaming others for where you are in life. You need to look in the mirror and point the finger at yourself. What role have you played in your own destiny? What role have you played that has you in this position?

Blaming others is as old as the bible. Adam blamed God for giving him Eve when they sinned. Adam said, that woman you gave me Lord. In other words, Lord I refuse to take any responsibility for my actions.

It’s not always easy to admit to ourselves that we have failed. It’s not always easy to admit that we are the cause for us being where we are in life. But, if we look at our failures as a stepping stone to our success; blaming others, will be a thing of the past.

Dry Seasons

We all have had some dry seasons in our life. You know those seasons where we can’t hear or feel God. Those seasons where we think that God doesn’t care or love us. Those seasons where we blame God for the hell that’s going on in our lives.

In our dry seasons, we still need to pray and seek God regardless of our situation. We need to look at everything God is doing in our dry seasons and not focus on the situation itself.

You see, God is still speaking when it’s dry, he’s just doing it in a different way. God is still there when we’re going through, we just have to look for him in a different way.

Don’t hate your dry seasons; embrace, grow, and learn from your dry seasons. Become intimate with God and let him know, you just don’t love him when things are only going good in your life. You love him through thick and thin.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Talk To Me Right

In this world today, no one seems to know how to communicate properly. We talk properly at work to keep our jobs or we talk in text messages and tweets; but, basic human conversation is lacking.

When did we become some rude and disrespectful, to the point we don’t even give each other the greeting of the day? If we talk like this to each other, I really wonder how is our conversation with God. Do we reverence him? Or do we demand of him; hence, our prayers are not being answered.

Normally, what we do in the natural we carry over to the spirit. If we’re mean in the natural we will be mean in the spiritual. Many times people won’t help us because we don’t know how to talk to them right. We’re so busy trying to give someone a piece of our mind. Well I’ve learned, to stop giving people a piece of my mind. At one point in life I thought I was going to lose my mind, and it was then, that I realized the piece of mind that I was trying to give someone; might have been the piece that was keeping me sane.

The beautiful thing about talking to people right is, you don’t even have to know them or like them to have decent words to say to them. God doesn’t like everything we do, but with love and kindness he still speaks to us, even when he chastises us.

So, talk to people right and see how far it gets you. Because, you already know where talking to people crazy gets you. It gets you in fights, office disputes, church cliques, and sometimes dead.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Life Doesn’t Stop

Life doesn’t stop because you’ve had a bad day, week, month or year; no, it keeps moving. You can’t just quit and give up because things didn’t work out the way you planned. So you’ve been thrown a curve ball and all of a sudden you feel as though God doesn’t love you anymore. Get yourself together, and realize that nothing can happen to you without God’s permission.

Test and trials come to make us strong, to let us know what God has placed inside of us, to purge us of things not like God and to draw us into a closer relationship to God. God doesn’t allow things to happen to us for kicks and giggles.

When Moses died, God told Joshua get up and get moving, life goes on.
When Naomi went back to her homeland, Ruth said I’m going with you, life goes on.
When Jeremiah wanted to give up and throw in the towel, he got himself together and said life goes on.
When Rizpah sons were killed she fanned the fowl of the air away all day and night until David gave them a proper burial, she said life goes on.
When Ezekiel’s wife died and God told him you better not shed one tear, Ezekiel sucked it up didn’t cry and said life goes on.
When blind Bartimaeus heard that Jesus was passing by and the people told him to shut up, he cried even the more and said life goes on.

See, no matter what your circumstances are, life doesn’t stop. Learn to roll with the punches, through all the pain and sorrow life can bring. You just may find that if you keep living and don’t give up; God will turn your mourning into dancing, your sorrow into laughing and your sadness into joy.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Home Sweet Home

I’m so happy to be back home. While I was gone my daughter had a car accident, my grandson scraped his knee and the volcano erupted. I was trying to locate my kids to tell them to get in the house and shut off the air conditioner so the ash wouldn’t affect them. Thank God for friends you can call when you’re not able to be there. Everything was handled in a matter of a text message. Truly there’s no place like home.

It feels the same way when you give your life to Christ or you return from your backsliding ways. You’re home! There’s no place like being in the ark of safety in God, and when you couldn’t pray for yourself, God sent a text to someone to pray for you.

Just know, whenever you leave home whether naturally or spiritually; there’s nothing that can take the place of home.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
