Choose Me

Everyone wants to be chosen, but they don't want the drama that comes with it. When you're chosen, you have a target on your back.

Being chosen isn't all it's cracked up to be. Luke 12:48 (MSG) reads, "Great gifts mean great responsibility." In other words, much is required from whom much is given. Do people really understand what it means to be chosen? I don't think some people do because if they did, they wouldn't be so eager to want to be chosen. Then again, some people know what comes with being chosen and can handle it, so I salute those people. When you're chosen, all eyes are on you; You're subject to greater scrutiny and unless you have solid skin, you may fold under the pressure. In many cases, you're chosen just because some people want to see you fail. Before some people are so quick to want to be chosen, they should do their due diligence to see if they're ready to be chosen.

When God Talks | Tony Evans (Sermon)

I listened to this sermon last night, and my prayer is to listen for God's voice consistently. He speaks in a still, small voice so I have to be extra sensitive to his voice.

God Doesn't Heal: Foolishness

I don't know how ANY pastor can come out of their mouths and say "Sometimes, God gives you sickness to teach you a lesson" or "It's not always God's will to heal". If it's not God's will to heal, why did Jesus heal many who were afflicted with leprosy, blindness, stuttering, and so on? Some of these pastors need to shove it with their false teaching because the God I serve heals & delivers. Some people (believers included) are no better because they buy into the nonsense, so they go through life suffering from their illness or condition and think it's God's will for them to be afflicted. One thing that has stuck with me regarding healing is that God will heal, whether on earth or in Heaven.

Any pastor who preaches against God healing needs to check themselves.

What's On My Mind?

What's On My Mind?

1. Why is it necessary for some people to take the perpetrator's side as if (s)he's the victim? If the offender victimizes another person, I will always side with the victim because THEIR pain supersedes the offender's so-called pain. Better yet, the offender has NO pain. People talking about "The offender's hurting too" Bull.😒 The offender can't be hurting if (s)he's bringing harm to another person. Forget the offender's so-called "pain".
2. Like when Dylann Roof smoked those 9 people in that Charleston church, people had the audacity to say there are victims in Dylann Roof's family. Cut the crap.😒

Where you are is not where you're supposed to stay. God has new levels. Get a bigger vision.

Monday Thought: Relationship Contracts

People look at relationships like a business contract: What can I gain as opposed to how I can make this person's life better?
