WHISPERED REFLECTION

WHISPERED REFLECTION
This was just whispered into my spirit, “even the worst so-called enemy has at least once been a teacher!” Meaning, whether the source is listed or not, identified or not, categorized or not, recognized or not, understood or not, accepted or not; at some point in life, that source has been used to project a lesson that might’ve gone unlearned if not imposed. All of us have sources that we would rather not receive advice, help, or instruction from. However, God being who He is will take it upon Himself to use whatever sources He sees fit to bring knees to fold, to crush arrogance, to suppress stubbornness, to heal ignorance, to mold His own-then, a lesson is taught. After which, the source will pay for having been made available to be used in such a fashion toward or against God’s child. This is purely an example of God using foolish things to confuse the wise. That’s why it’s important to never feel yourself too wise in your own eyes because no matter how much of the answers you’ve gathered from your prolonged research, there still will remain undiscovered truths. Because you see, the Ultimate Truth resides ONLY in HE who has been, is, and forever will be Himself! He who gave us the Word that became flesh to walk among us speaks His Truth in us constantly, a whisper of Himself He bestows within our spirit. That small portion is often so mind-blowing to us that from such we often are blessed enough to write songs, poetry, story, books, filled libraries, making history, shaking worlds, rising new eras of Ages. All of which comes from a single whisper of God’s person through Christ whom we know as the Word, Way, Truth, and Life. We live in the Whisper of His Reflection!

INNER GROWTH

Inner Growth

When you’re hurt and seek to hurt others, lashing out; you’re displaying a juvenile/infantile lack of rearing. When you begin to understand your error without any professional guidance or discipline you might take all this pain inward turning against self in rebellion or remorse for how poorly all was handled, (this may occur in individuals with a live active conscience). But when you start having Godly wisdom and true maturity you develop a means of projecting outward the act of rendering to others the aide you lacked in your suffering. Your lifestyle boldly speaks in presenting itself as a haven for the broken to be mended! May your life scream out HAVEN TO HELP REPAIR THE BROKEN in all places where you were lacking!

MIND TRANSFORMATION

MIND TRANSFORMATION
I often hear WHY DOES SUCH EVIL EXIST IN THE WORLD IF THERE’S A GOD? Well WHY WOULD SUCH CREATIONS CREATED IN GOD’S IMAGE WANT TO TURN EVIL TO SHAME THEMSELVES BEFORE GOD? Too much of greed, envy, jealousy, boastfulness and all bitter fruits can lead man astray from God’s will. And since the beginning of time from Adam in the Garden of Eden until this present time, mankind as a whole has not changed for the better. It’s always the majority of the evil that exist that seem to outweigh the efforts of the just. There has since been an imbalance in the universe due to our own doing. Which proves we can’t always be trusted in our choices. Jumping to conclusions, choosing to go with the flow, following the crowd, not weighing the outcome before forming a solid decision has become our lifestyle without examining possible results that might arise. We’re not even bold enough to own our mistakes after these draft measures occur. Instead we continue on our evil ways spreading it faster than an overly-festered virus expecting each outcome to be better as we feed the infestation. While a sick man knows to seek a doctor’s report and prescription to improve physical health, a man’s spiritual being suffers chaos yet he chooses not to seek God’s guidance and healing remedy for its ailments; only to lay the blame on God! You are created a breathing, living, thinking, choosing being to reflect your Daddy’s image and likeness. If you don’t like what you see around you, all you have to do is to double check within self to see if the Godly image and likeness of God still reside and portrays through you! What you put out is what becomes your environment! Position yourself to do your part in the world because you are part of God’s great commission whether you’re aware of it or not! You can’t just freely run about breathing God’s free air, enjoying God’s heartbeat within you ever so lovely and refusing to abide by the rules expecting all to be well. If you feel too much evil exist then do a self search, begin by fixing self and project the Godly love found within outward until you draw your last breath. You never know, you might’ve undone the wrong or evil that existed in so many lives you touched as you journeyed home! It’s in your power to fix the broken, heal the sick, save the lost, care for the rejected with your love. What have you been doing with your love lately? God in you is still crying out to reach the hurt! To deny Him your efforts in reaching these loved ones is also to take part in letting evil overtake the world! Do your part and show someone Godly love before time expires!

I also hear them say WHY WOULD GOD SEND PEOPLE TO HELL? “God want you to know, if you’re cooking something tasty you follow the recipe precisely to get the best possible outcome; so also in living your actions determine your results.” You reap what you sow! What you put forth is what you will see. No one plants sweet oranges expecting to reap sour apples! There’s a guideline for living called the Word of God, it’s full of God’s loving directions for a better life. The Bible is still in the process of molding lives to God, it hasn’t changed its address, name or power, neither has it expired. Of that however, I also question, WHY WOULD GOD’S OWN CREATION WANT TO DO THINGS TO LAND THEMSELVES IN HELL THEN PUT THE BLAME ON GOD? Confirming the self is a must in these times!

LIFE CONCERNS

Just when you thought you figured out the answers to all the questions, they came up with a new set of questions which sends you right back to the start again!

You never really know the whole story! There’s always a loophole, a hidden fact, an untold story, a dark secret or a misunderstanding! So never think for a second that what you think you know is all there is! The greatest investigators have fallen short quite often or they’ve succeeded in convincing the majority that they nailed that investigation! Because in the end for most, it’s all about convincing the mass public! The bitter truth lies in the palm of God’s capable hands! So as you watch others roaming blindly to get from point A to point B, if you can’t pray them up, compliment their strength or effort, lend a helping hand. If neither is possible just quietly get out of their way, let them do the best they can!

Also, did you ever stop to consider if there are any More people that you might’ve offended in your life, so much so that they’re struggling to live still while you’re wanting to be ready to exit? Seriously, do you ever wonder if you forgot one or some and neglected to lift them in prayer for God to intervene and restore them for you after you had made foolish mistakes that had lasting effects in their lives while you were lacking? Have you ever had a strong desire to give a healing hug to the whole world to relieve them all of the bitterness, resentment, pain and suffering that seems too clingy? I think different people feel this in different ways. This is why there are artists, writers, singers, doctors, teachers, etc. I guess this is mine!

The thing is that not everyone heals the same way but most do. Some others don’t want to heal, they prefer hardcore revenge on repeat if at all possible!

No one really cares why a person is evil, has a mean streak, is a criminal or has chosen the wrong path or actions unless that person has been ordered by God Himself or it’s a chosen profession that pays well. Honestly, some people made it their passion to try to get inside other people’s head just by asking them questions to get them to find or see for themselves who they’ve become or where it is they’ve landed in life. And from there they can choose to make an intelligible decision to mend their ways, pay the consequences or both.

Never rejoice over someone else’s failure or the fact that they’ve been caught. Just because they didn’t catch you yet, that doesn’t mean you’re innocent. FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALLEN SHORT OF GOD’S GLORY AND ALL ARE JUSTIFIED FREELY BY HIS GRACE THROUGH THE REDEMPTION THAT CAME BY CHRIST JESUS. (Rom.3:23-24). Know this and understand it well, no one of their own volition wants someone who has done them wrong once or many times to be free of their offence unless God has occupied or preoccupied their heart through Jesus. That is the honest to goodness truth right there I tell you! Human nature cannot survive or overcome wicked traits without God’s gift of Salvation in Jesus. Since Cain it’s been proven lacking and since Abel it’s been proven a challenge. Jesus gifted us His ALL because he knew right off the bat that in order for us to succeed at any good thing in this life is OVER HIS DEAD BODY AND RESURRECTION. So He did just that in gifting us His Salvation.

Think for a second of some characters of the bible. Do you think anyone considered Goliath’s history, lineage or upbringing that turned him into a bully? You think anyone thought of what shaped Jezebel into an evil woman? Did people give second thoughts as to what provoked Cain into killing his own brother? Please, No! More often than not, no one cares. To care enough to find out why things or people are the way they are however is also to nourish the self for improvement purposes and to prevent human failure that comes by lack of instruction. Like the Haitian saying, “when your comrade’s beard catches fire, put yours to soak.” (Just as God used major and minor prophets, servants of old to relay messages to His people, so also God uses ordinary people today to reach others). As it is written in God’s word “My people perish for lack of knowledge,” Hosea 4:6. To become a caring being requires in-depth core values, built-in fruits of the Spirit, Godly characteristics and functioning armors of God.  To be a good person inside and out, no one knows or considers what work effort has been put into maintaining it. From the bottom of the barrel all the way up to it’s brim, no one knows sacrifices made, shamed insults endured, scrapes or falls experienced. The present isn’t always as smooth as it seems. But who cares of such if not God’s servant!

There are some things that even God respects for the human being and will not cross its line. One of them is a weary and tired soul, He understands the need to rest. There’s rest in the final destination in life but there’s also rest in God’s bosom as He lead one in the right path throughout life and in ministry. Hence His word says “Come unto me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).

CHEESE PLEASE!

Can you think back a minute to when telling someone to shut up was such a rude way of talking that you’d get in trouble for it as if you had said a curse word? Or to speak a certain way was considered cross? So saying shut up or being cross wouldn’t be on your to do list to prevent being grounded. Those cheesy days taught us what being human was all about. It taught us to be courteous to our neighbors. We did it so well we didn’t need any escort looking over our shoulders checking to see if we’re behaving. It was simpler living and to most today it would be considered cheesy, lame, bland and boring. But you know, instead of being too bold, uncaring, inhumane without compassion for society wouldn’t it be best to add a little cheese on society today to preserve human flavor? Think about it! We’re constantly losing flavor as human beings. Soon there won’t be anything left to season or salvage. If you don’t believe me, with a clear and stable conscience take a good look at society as a whole!

It’s not nitpicking, honestly. And it’s not stirring anger in others either, it’s just an honest look at society that most elders usually have to go through as they watch their time fading and new time take over. It’s that moment when you realize you’re so old, this generation is so new and there’s a clash in difference. You don’t fit yet to find a common ground may take some time you don’t have. Because by then it might even be time to go because like I said, you’re old! So you reminisce those good days as if you could bring them back. You hardly have anyone to reminisce them with because everyone you knew mostly have passed on leaving you holding the fort. In this fast-paced world all you have left for comfort are those cheesy memories of yours and no one to tell them to. You’re itching to tell anyone who would listen but they’re busy living and your pace is slowing down hence you can’t catch up.

There should be a site! A site where the older folks could post their nostalgia to the world and they can even post anonymously. They should call it REMINESSENCE! The essence of reminiscing in a bulk would be good for society as a whole. That would give older folks an outlet, a chance to share their wisdom with the younger generation. How cool that would be! It could contain stories or sayings, testimonials or daily posts of attempts to connect to the present world. It could even be a youtube channel. I know this would be a very long shot because not all elders are computer literate but isn’t it a grand idea though? (It kept you reading on this far)!

There are simple acts of kindness that could even keep away sicknesses like alzheimers, dementia, senility, withdraws, or the likes. I don’t think elders should be boxed into a corner as if to say it’s not your time anymore so quietly occupy this space as a dunce till you’re no more! Instead I think we should embrace them into society as legacy workers in the field that ought to be commemorated as they exit; only we would be celebrating them in this small version as they live!

Let each testimonial be a learning source for the younger generation! Who knows? Some parents might even start to use that site as insight for their own children’s rearing. One of their chores could be to log into that site and to retell the parent of a testimonial they read that seemed shocking or different than what they’re accustomed to. That would be wisdom being passed down! You’d be surprised how much wisdom is hidden within an elder’s brain, of course that’s when it’s remembered!

Maybe this should be on someone’s to do list! I had to put this out here since it surfaced my overwork brain. I hope it reaches someone somewhere enough to act upon it in a productive way for the benefits of all of society.

THE IMPARTATION

As servants of the Most High God in Jesus Christ of Nazareth each word, sentence, verse, prayer, song, is a fullness of impartation being sent out into the universe. We are charged to release into the atmosphere the goodness we once received or were taught through the instructions of the Holy Spirit. We pray that our sowed seeds have landed on the fertile soil of your heart’s depth to multiply and reproduce the goodness of loving fruits; impacting generations unto Jesus who is soon to come for the harvest. Have we not imparted what we received as in healing, forgiveness, love, compassion, kindness, faith, grace, yearning to deepen our relationship with Christ throughout the journey? Have we not sought to find you beneath the rubbles of your displeasures to rise with you in the measure of God’s treasure bestowed in our verses? Have we not blessed you with good measures pressed down, shaken together and running over for the time to come so that you can withstand the storm in any season? If after having given all we have to you there’s still a lack then obviously God might be attracting you to Him now for a full one-on-one to peak your knowledge! Adhere His teachings, submit to His call, surrender your desires to His will, lay at His feet your burdens and give Him all that remain in you! You’ve received enough to be partakers in the great commission! Let someone know Jesus the Savior loves them and remind them He soon comes as Judge. It’s time for us all to get our house in order! Let’s do this!

CONQUERING MIND/BRAIN DULLNESS

Brethren, always make it a habit to live and grow in Faith. It’s needed for your well-being but also because you never know who will need to rely on your own faith to see them through a tight situation. This also is a life of service to God. Remember when Jesus was in the boat sleeping while the storm was raging, his disciples woke him saying “Master care you not that we perish,” Mark 4:37-41! He didn’t linger but acted quickly then reprimanded them saying, “O ye of little faith!” (Matthew 8:26, Luke 8:25). It’s not that they were incapable of speaking to their storm but that they lacked faith. Being so, they needed to rely on Jesus faith even when they were well equipped to act.

Too often on our journey we come across situations where no one needs to move in our favor for the miracle to take place because we have built in power to take us there and further, but we let life instances stifle, choke, suppress our faith capacity. We have built in power and authority to say PEACE, THE LORD REBUKE YOU, STOP, BE HEALED, AWAY FROM ME, NO, GET UP AND WALK, GET THEE HENCE, BE QUIET or BE STILL, (etc…) because Jesus promised greater works we will do; but first we must apply into our own lives what we’ve been instructed in faith. Do not let the enemy of your soul drag you into an incapacitated, debilitated, vegetated state of mind. That dullness of the mind is how he has destroyed many believers, leave him no room for access! When God’s word said, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, God had You in mind as well when releasing that word and it won’t return to Him void until it’s done that which it was set out to do. God’s blessed word is the ornaments of your life so color yourself faithfully beautiful and handsome! Be not fooled!

As a man thinks in his heart so is he says God’s word in proverbs 23:7, it’s high time to command your mind to take you to that higher level where God envision you to be. The complete version of you await your arrival, don’t let yourself down! Tame the heart of your brain to fall into place. When you want to fall into temptation you give yourself a million and one reasons why it’s just and they’re all lies concocted by the darkness within trying to oppress you until you succumb. That ability you have to talk yourself down, it’s time to reverse it into raising yourself up to reach a nirvana of the brain, where the excess negativism is quenched making room for Godly purpose in all faith. So now the old power you used to degrade and destroy yourself, convert that into fuel to build yourself up and shame the devil. This has been one of his fears, of you succeeding, achieving, reaching beyond the capacity of your knowledge to trust God, time to serve him his just deserve! Take that leap of faith and land exactly where God has envisioned your completeness. The Plenitude of Faithful You Awaits, but it must start in the heart of your mind! Say YES to God’s Faith In You Through Christ Jesus!
