Once Upon A Time
I made progress in her, to him who gives wisdom, I will give glory., Sirach 51:17, Apocryphal...little by little I will rewrite her story. From a tragic beginning to a happy ending...every new chapter will twist and turn into a divine resolution...the manifestation...of a new characters creation. Now blessed and highly favored...she'll rise above the plots of evil neighbors...past failures and bad behavior. All because the Lord and Savior...exchanged His life for hers, yours and mine. Before you know it folks are standing in line...to buy a copy or hear your testimony over a cup of coffee...honest words on a blog not meant to be lofty. The story of her life...will make others believe in Christ. Finally feel they have a chance to achieve...gloriously receive...an autographed copy of their new life. Signed by the Author and finisher of our faith...and offered as God's free gift of grace.
Once upon a time...is only the first line,

Fire or Water
In Hades, where he was being tormented, he looked up and saw Abraham far away with Lazarus by his side. He called out, "Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in agony in these flames.", Luke 16:23-24...from whence that old statement surely came,..."People in hell want ice water"...but if you end up there...no Heavenly body will bother, to come...or be able to cross that chasm. For no earthly effort or prayer...will be able to reach you way down there. So maybe you should listen, while you're up here...to those who care...desire to see your soul spared...the eternal pain and despair. All because in life...you refused to acknowledge Christ. Chose not to declare...confess the Name of Jesus, and be saved by The Royal Heir...the only man to ever leave there...conquering death. So that the blessed...won't have to make futile requests...but have eternal life and rest...in Heaven and on earth.Only His beloved, will experience no thirst...over flowing with the living water, sounds like a pretty cool perk.
Anybody...thirsty?

A Little Pain In The Jabez
Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh that you would bless me and extend my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request, 1 Chronicles 4:10...made him more honorable than the rest of his brothers...the pain of his past was not like the others. His...Mother...bore him in great pain...hence the meaning of his name and many of us feel exactly the same...though the names have been changed...the desire to be blessed still remains. The way to access the blessing has never changed. Prayer and fasting in the mist of the pain...translates into personal gain. When you ask God to flip His Property (YOU)...a New age Jabez...you're bound to be...enlarged entirely. A success in the world and in the eyes of the King. Sometimes the biggest cry baby...gains the empathy of their Daddy.
Daddy's little pain in the Jabez,

Healer Be Healed
It has not been bound up for healing or wrapped with a bondage, so that it may become strong to wield the sword., Ezekiel 30:21...but instead you go immediately back to war...with a wide open sore...paining you to the core. Clearly oozing...knowing you could use the blood of the lamb's transfusion. Be transformed and freed from confusion...a side effect of the prolonged delusion...of a wounded person who just keeps on refusing...treatment. Until they become emotionally bent...on destruction...displaying all out aggression...because of the hole in the chest...that never received the divine compression...by the Hand of God. Making the healing process way too hard...when they could simply say, "Lord create in me a clean heart, Oh God and renew a right spirit within me...help me recognize my mind, body and soul have been running on empty...and I need you to renew, refresh and revive me...reconstruct the broken heart inside me...for a wounded healer I refuse to be."because when the blind lead the blind...somebody will get hurt in time. So healers be healed...before you go back out into the field.
Those who wield the sword and shield...must be healed,

Mental back Tracker
Set up, for yourselves highway markers, make for yourself guideposts; turn your thoughts and attention to the way by which you went into exile. Retrace your steps, O Virgin Israel, return to these cities., Jeremiah 31:21...don't look back over your life with regret and pity...get down to the knitty gritty...of it. Backtrack and rewind...replay the choices you made in your mind...dissect each and every one of your crimes...the ties that bind...you to your past. Even the offenses against you, should be rehashed. Yes, reenact the crash...then put it past you. Recognize you have the responsibility to...pin point and mentally mark; where, when and who...you collided into. Whether premeditated or an accident...we must define its relevance...to prevent...future recurring damaging events. Yes, take the merry-go-round in reverse...figure out what got you off track, in the first...place. Get to the root of the problem and be willing to face...your errors and mistakes. Go ahead and confess...you didn't invest...any time reading the Divine G.P.S...let alone ask God for the correct address...instead you aimlessly wandered 40 years in the wilderness. so strive to be a mental backtracker...then you can constructively look back at the past and get to your future faster.
Backtrack and rewind...making mental makers in your mind,

Face to Face
Face to Face
Though I have many things to write to you, I do not want to do, so with paper and ink, but I am, hoping to be with you and to speak face to face, that our joy maybe made full, 2 John 9:12...thou I have not been as responsible as I should...I hope that you would...forgive my misgivings, for no man is good. I pray God, heal your heart...mend, the distance and time, we've been apart. I pray for second chances and new starts...for the Lord to turn the hearts...of Fathers and Mothers, to their children...reconcile and rebuild them...Lord, instill them...with your love. As they come face to face...in a neutral space...the beloved may once again embrace...put the guilt, condemnation and disgrace...behind them. By the grace of God, filled with joy, that binds them...together again.
Seeking my Father's...Joy-full day,

Movers & Shakers
Therefore shake off your great sadness and lay aside your many sorrows, so that the Mighty One may be merciful to you again, and the Most High may give you rest, a respite from your troubles., 2 Esdras 10:24 Apocryphal...reward you double...pull you from under all the rubble...of your life. He'll show you how to eliminate the stress and strife...change your plight...make what is wrong...right...gain from what is negative...positive insight. If your attitude and response is right. So don't give yourself over to sorrow...throw a pity party and wallow...in your mess...jacked up and depressed...which is not a divine characteristic of the blessed. Thou I must confess...I have suffered through many a test...but I refuse to regress...I shake it off...and apply a whole lot of joyfulness...while receiving His mercy and rest...so I can move on and get abundantly blessed.
I'm a Mover and a Shaker,

Poetic Voice
He does not fight nor shout; He does not raise His voice! He does not crash the weak, or quench the smallest hope; He will end all conflict with his final victory., Matthew 12:19-20...So there is not need to scream at me...I can understand clearly...your pain and agony...but don't forget about me...I was just an innocent bystander...who never got their dander...up...so why must I shut up...about how I feel...my pain and agony is also real...and must be confessed to heal. A soul caught between the cross fire...who had no desire...to be there...forced to suffer the consequences of others affairs. Thou life is not always fair...and can sometimes seem like an utter nightmare...but the beloved do not have to be snared...by ugly words...for there are more constructive ways to be heard. For "His name shall be the hope of all the world'., Matthew 12:21...there are tactful ways to speak the truth, while giving kind words a whirl...chosen adverbs, adjectives and super...latives...that meet His...approval.
The poetic voice of an...innocent bystander.

I Declare War!
Beloved, I implore you as aliens and strangers and exiles (in the world) to abstain from sensual urges (the evil desires, the passions of the flesh, your lower nature) that wage war against the soul., 1 Peter 2:11...drive sexual predators to patrol...lark in the oddest places, like trolls. From public restrooms to social networks, where they scroll...the menu. For there is no safe venue...the church building to the class room...there too, perverts loom. Ravenous lions, roaming the streets, for something innocent to eat...and little boys and girls, make tasty treats. Yes, they seek...to feast upon the meek...so, aggressively I must preach...no time to be embarrassed or discrete! For my beloved, the devil will get no chance to eat. Because Momma, plans to beat...him at his own game...pray and rebuke his legions in Jesus' name...and teach my children to do the same. Scream at the top of their lungs...and run, from evil! Put your trust in God, not people...who will try and pull the wool...over their eyes...tell the native, lies...to get them to comply So, I choose to advise...wage war and watch dateline...on a regular!
Life has become stranger than fiction,

Do you Speak the Slanguage?
There are, I suppose, all these many unknown tongues in the world, and none is destitute of expression and meaning.if some folks can't understand a word that is said But if I do not know the force and significance of the speech (language), I shall seem to be a foreigner to the one who speaks(to me), and the speaker who addresses (me) will seem a foreigner to me., 1 Corinthians 14:10-11...so how can the Good News be...effect...spread......when the Latin and Greek terminology flew right over their heads...along with the traditional hymns and psalms read. All because the translation has no street cred...now a days the Father's sheep go unfed...starved for the bread...of life. As preachers and teachers we were sent here to emulate Christ...go to the ghetto's...speak to the people at their level...of understanding. We need to do what ever it takes for the message to come in for a precise landing. Yes, evangelist should be commanding...the English language...yet fluent in the urban slanguage. Its time to flip the scripture...so the young nonbeliever can get the picture...desire to embrace biblical literature...in its original...form. Until then...the church best get on a hot beat and put a new spin...on the forgiveness of sin...don't pigeon hole Salvation...God got mad love for the hip-hop generation.
Greek won't walk...ya better rap the talk,

Kill or be Killed
Look now! I am He...there is no other God than Me, the one and only King. I'm the one who gives life and kills. I'm the one who wounds and heals. My vengeance is real...and I will avenge my servant's appeals. I repay their enemies, that deserve it...those who, dish out violence to the undeserving. So don't be afraid of the one, who wants to kill you...smiling in your face...but all along plotting against you! They can only kill the body...speaking, physically or metaphorically. Trust I see, the insults or abuse you've received. Fear only God, who has the power to kill...then cast us into hell...where the soul will eternally dwell., Luke 12:5 So I say "What can mere mortals do to me?" Psalm 56:4 For when I pray for my enemies...their curses turn to blessings from the Lord...whom vengeance is reserved for. I just kill them with kindness...and leave the rest up to His Royal Highness.
Kill or be Killed,

Diary of a Happy Woman
A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up bones., Proverbs 17:22...the best thing to do is get your Def Comedy Jam on...get in the Laugh Factory zone! LOL...hoot and holler for a while..when was the last time you cracked a smile? It will do you a world of good...if you would...laugh till you cry...bide your sorrows good-bye...then giggle till your high and dry. For there's no time to waste on that today. Girl, I bought us tickets to a Tyler Perry play...get your coat, because this is your oh happy day!
