Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, death, is your victory? Where, death, is your sting?

“No matter how wise you become or how wise you suppose you are… you have to learn that wisdom comes from everywhere and there are things to be learned from everyone. I will admit, that all people are not meant to teach you and that all people are not meant to be learned from, but also, that sometimes a lesson of wisdom can come from the most unforeseen circumstances and people.. an 80 year old can teach a child, and that same 80 year old can learn something new and something wise, from that same child.”

To hold on, or to let go... that is the question.

They say that letting go is one of the hardest things that one can do, but so is holding on.

It’s hard holding on when things are uncertain.

It’s hard holding on when there are no signs of life.

It’s hard holding on when the silver lining is hidden.

It’s hard holding on when it seems foolish, pointless, and crazy. 

At what point does one let go? At what point does hope become faith? Where is the demarcation? Is there a demarcation?

Everyone has questions that it seems no one can answer- no one, but God.

God, are you listening? Are you speaking?

Please, 

give me discernment. 

Give me clarity. 

Give me courage. 

Give me strength

so that if this is something worth hanging onto to, I’m able to readjust and tighten my clutch and never let it go.

Be grateful in all…

Check Your Mouth

If you have confessed Christ as Lord and Savior, some things have to be unacceptable to you. One of those things should be what and how you speak.

We know that our tongues hold power. Not any kind of power, but the power of life or death (Proverbs 18:21). It is NOT okay to speak death and expect goodness to wash over the land. You eat the fruit that you speak.

So today I ask you, what are you speaking? How are you using your words?

Take an inventory. Lately, my mind has been on words that have been said by Christians. I know we go through hard times, that we are human, and nobody is perfect. However, that is not an excuse!

This is not to bear a record of wrongdoings, but to acknowledge a problem and turn away from it. I have heard more from believing brothers and sisters phrases like,

"You just never hear anything good anymore."

"It's always bad news!"

"Things are only going to get worse."

"Prices will only get higher."

Listen, shh! The saying is "if you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all." But no! If you have no life to speak then just keep quiet.

We have to remember that the power of life and death is in the power of our tongue and that God gave us a choice to choose life or death, blessings or cursings (Deuteronomy30:19). He tells us to choose life, but you have to make that choice.

Will you make the choice today, to stop speaking like unbelievers and talk like the believer you are? Don't allow the things of this world to steal your hope and your joy. Jesus is still our good news!

Check your inventory. What have you been negative about? Murmuring and complaining about? Gossiping about? Give it to God and ask His forgiveness. Turn from it and do what it is that's right.

Speak with hope, authority, love, peace joy!  Be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2), pray, repent, speak and choose LIFE! It matters what you speak, it matters what you think, it matters what you do, and it matters what you condone.

Remember, we are not of this world. We are set apart. There should be a clear recognition of our difference in the words we speak and the way that we live. Keep God first, pray, love, and speak life.

But no! If you have no life to speak then just keep quiet.

God, create a clean heart for me and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not banish me from Your presence or take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore the joy of Your salvation to me, and sustain me by giving me a willing spirit. Then I will teach the rebellious your ways, and sinners will return to You.

Psalms 51:10-13

10 WAYS YOU CAN CELEBRATE WITH ME

[him-first]

God never promised that this life would be easy. but he did promise to walk with us and hold us when things get hard. he is a God of the mountaintop and the valley. he desires for us to turn to him when this world leaves us broken and confused. he is for you, not against you.

[malkahpariyz]

PSA: it’s GOD’s timing. Not anyone else’s, that we become ready, willing, and able to conquer our life’s purposes.

A word for those who want to impose on the timeline God has someone else on or who undermine just how fervently and diligently someone has been fighting for themselves, their identity, their destiny, and their sanity… only a feeble mouth opens at the wrong times, and a hasty uncalculated effort is often more redundant, unnecessary, pressurizing, and hurtful; than it will ever be helpful.

The news flash goes as such:

“While yall telling me to get up God telling me to sit down, so I can’t drop the bags off so that I can truly and REALLY get up to new heights! See only me and God know precisely what’s going on round here boo, and we already on the job. This time is precisely for me to get up and I don’t need nobody pressuring this process to complete quicker or trying to tell me that my moments in this time have a ticker. It’s going at Gods timing and God ain’t rushing me because He the one that told me to take as much time as I need right now and really unpack and drop these bags off. What do yall really think I been doing? You think I’m in therapy for nothing ? You think I ain’t doing the work, you think I’m sitting around? Wallowing? I’m working hard, harder than you ever could through attack you could never ever withstand with as much grace as I do, doing it all to be ready and able to reach my destiny and God told me this time of rest is necessary for that propelling. You people don’t know what’s going on or what I’m doing. Mind your business. What makes you think I ain’t doing all I can for me right now to get up? You don’t know. You can’t see this relentless warrior in me FIGHTING, and haven’t even gotten a rest from this battle yet. I haven’t sat down, I haven’t wallowed. I have been FIGHTING. A TIRELESS FIGHT at that. Just when the attackers thought I’d give up I show them their wish will NEVER come true. Glory be to GOD YAHUAH for the levels of fight and equipment in me. So all that is, that which you are telling, is added pressure on me that I don’t need, and lemme tell you something else, ain’t no time limit on these things I’m unpacking or the hurdles I’m jumping and ain’t no time limit on my blessings because my all knowing God YAHUAH already know how long it’s gonna take me to become overcome and be fully healed enough to finally move even more than before and not be immobilized by the deep rooted wounds and scars you people can’t even see, because I wear it well honey, and He is the one that put me in this unpacking season so you better believe He is with me now and He will be waiting on me for how I come out on the other side of this season, ready willing and able, as He already planned I would be and my destiny will be there as well. Waiting on me to fulfill it and you better believe that I will. And He so knew it, that’s why He CHOSE ME. Babydoll.”
