Don't be Caught With Your Head In the Sand!!

During Biblical times, people paid close attention to EVERYTHING in the atmosphere, everything in the physical environment, and everything within their being (mind, body, spirit).  Many things were being communicated unto them - because they were in tune with the atmosphere, they were in tune with the physical environment and they were in tune with their being.  They were aware - emotionally, physically and spiritually.

 

Sadly, many have lost this awareness!  Electronics and social media have robbed many people of PERCEPTION.  Although we live in a time where communication can be easily transmitted via email, text, etc., - far too many are clicking, deleting and scrolling when they should be listening.  There is a science to communication. Don’t miss the signs and don’t miss the signals.

SIDENOTE - There are people who CHOOSE to ignore signals so that they can violate boundaries in order to have things done their way.  They only want what they want - when they want it.  These are selfish people who often have a Jezebel spirit (a spirit of domination, intimidation and manipulation).  It is IMPERATIVE that you limit your time with them.  If POSSIBLE, you may need to break ties.  These individuals will repeatedly ignore signs and violate boundaries.

Hear me - if your relationships are going to thrive in 2023, you MUST be PERCEPTIVE.  Don’t ignore the signs!

Relationship prosperity (family relationships, courtships, friendships, work relationships, etc.) will thrive if you become more PERCEPTIVE. And, if you are struggling in this area, ask God for a spirit of discernment.

Indigenous Peoples’ Day 2022

Today, October 10, 2022 is a federal holiday in the United States.  It is a holiday that celebrates the “so-called” discoverer of America - Christopher Columbus.  Columbus was an Italian who was determined to find a shortcut to Asia.  When he landed in America, he thought that he had arrived in Asia.  He called the inhabitants “Indians” most likely taken from a term found in one of his diary entries.  

On October 7,2022, President Joe Biden proclaimed this day as Indigenous Peoples’ Day to honor and to recognize the individuals who were ALREADY here before Christopher Columbus ever stepped foot upon American soil.  Before any European settler ever claimed any land for any foreign country, the Most High God (our sovereign GOD) had ALREADY stationed people in each country.  Whether the people are referred to as Aborigines, Endemic, Indigenous, Natives, Native Americans, etc., we must recognize that prior to other nations placing their claims upon another inhabitants home, other people already occupied that territory!

Out With the Old, In With the New!

    There is an imaginary pole called an axis that goes through the center of the Earth.  The tilt in the axis causes our seasons to change. Whenever there is a seasonal change, atmospheric conditions begin to shift.  In order to remain comfortable during the transition and throughout the new season, it is important that we alter our wardrobes to coincide with the new season.  As a result of this shift, we either remove layers of clothing or we add layers of clothing.    

Metaphorically, life is filled with seasons.  And just as we adapt our wardrobes, we must learn to adapt our spirit man in every season. Failure to do so may result in DISCOMFORT or we may NOT survive - due to extreme climatic changes.  Friendships have seasons, relationships have seasons, assignments have seasons and situations have seasons.  And, during every season, the climate changes. During this time, it is necessary that we embrace the current season and understand that the attitudes and ideologies that were applicable for yesterday may NOT be applicable for today.  What you did and how you behaved during the last season of your life may not work for the present season.  ADAPT to the present - the season has changed!

He changes times and seasons.  He removes kings and installs kings. 

He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.

Prayer (For Skin Conditions)

Skin conditions/diseases affect so many people (the young, the old and anyone in between). Skin disorders (so often) damage one's self-esteem. However, in GOD's sight, it is a light affliction. If you know anyone who may be suffering, please share. I'm praying for you.

Keep Waiting!

 

Bridle Your Tongue!!!

     Premature announcements and celebrations may sometimes empower the enemy.  Oftentimes, we are our own worst enemy.  Proverbs 6:2 reminds us that “You are snared (trapped) by the words of your mouth;”  Many times, we share aspirations, dreams and visions far too soon.  Every blessing is NOT meant to be shared before the appointed time. Certain blessings are meant to be TREASURED before they are ever SHARED.  Remember that what was meant for your peace often disturbs the cohorts of Satan.  When Satan's cohorts are disturbed, they begin to frantically work - spewing out venomous verbal attacks attempting to destroy your assurance and your confidence in God.

1. Satan attacks your assurance - causing you to question God’s divine participation in whatever God is blessing you with.

2. Also, Satan attacks your confidence - creating doubt in your abilities to participate in whatever God is blessing you with.

Satan is crafty in his approach.  Satan often implements those who are connected to you (your inner circle) to carry out assignments.  Naysayers, doubters and people who are blind to your vision will cast spirits of doubt and seeds of failure within your spirit.  These spirits of doubt and seeds of defeat can take root down on the inside and grow to produce a mindset of failure.  

Satan does this through countless ways including (but not limited to): 

• enacting mind games, 

• refusing to acknowledge, to celebrate or to congratulate your accomplishments, 

• isolation/ostracization, and 

• implementing the silent treatment.   

Remember that the enemy is very cunning in his approach.  HE has a bag of evil tricks that he uses against those of us who are seeking God’s kingdom.  Paul reminds us in 1 Peter 5:8 that the enemy prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Be careful that the words you speak do not ensnare you and give the enemy room to work in your life.  (Ephesians 4:27 admonishes the believer to Neither give place to the devil.) CLOSE your mouth until the appointed time.  The Most High will tell you what to say, HE will tell you when to say it and HE will tell you to whom to say it. 

Therefore, hold on to your dreams and visions until the appointed time.  Don’t be so quick to share - until after you have truly basked in HIS anointing and treasured your long-awaited blessing!   

Shabbat Shalom

The Number 8

August is the 8th month of the year according to the Gregorian calendar which is used in the United States and many other parts of the world.  In numerology, the number 8 represents a new beginning, a new order, a new direction - NEWNESS.  Sometimes - In order to experience NEWNESS, a break or separation may be necessary.  The break or separation is a severance process.  Sometimes, the initial severance is painful.  But, it is necessary.  Oftentimes, we can NOT receive what the Most High has for us because our hands are still firmly clutching old things and our thoughts are still cluttered with old mindsets.  God is doing a new thing.  HE is opening doors, straightening crooked paths and revealing innovative concepts and ideas.  Embrace the new beginning, the new order and the new direction!
