If you want to upset people, do 3 things…
#1 Be Blessed
#2 Make yourself inaccessible
#3 Keep people out of your business
Do those 3 things and demons will buck.
Why?
Because people with controlling spirits,
nosey spirits, interfering spirits,
jealous spirits and disruptive spirits, hate boundaries because it keeps them in their place.
This part. When toxic people don’t have proper access to you, they get pissed. Let them..
My relationship with God matters to me. Because when NOBODY else was there, GOD WAS.
Morning Thoughts:
You can’t play both sides & claim to be solid. Either be real or fake.
My dad used to tell me as a young boy “You think I’m hard on you, but you’ll realize why as you get older”. Pops was right.
A weightlifter will tell you that weightlifting isn’t about how much weight you lift, it’s about strength to get through life’s worst.
God giving humans free will has been society’s downfall because…look at what’s going on. One man’s sin messed it up for everyone. Reference Genesis 6:5-7

Too many people are operating out of Singleness and not out of His Sovereignty!!!
You want the blessing of two in one!!!
God said many of you will miss what He has because you rather DO IT YOURSELF!!!
You don’t want to trust anyone
You don’t want to let anyone in
You don’t want to let anyone help you
The blessing that God is trying to give to you is in multiplicity!!
“Be fruitful and Multiply”
Multiplication comes with an additive!!! You were not meant to do this alone. If you do it alone, you won’t be able to multiply.
Hear me! You’re going to have to let someone in. Many of you are agitated with the thing God is using to HELP YOU!!! So you’re pushing it away. Driving it away! Running from it. Simply because it is doing its job!
1. You’re healing is in them
2. You’re deliverance is in them
3. You’re activation is in them
Help isn’t always PRETTY and it doesn’t always feel good!
Jesus’s help was bloody
The Good Samaritan’s help was nasty
The widow’s help was sacrificial
To Help COST!!! Pride is the price. It takes humility to help and it takes humility to receive help!!!
Receive your help and stop hurting the help God sent to you!

From time to time, I hear some men complain that women aren't letting them be men. LET? Since when did a man need a woman's permission to be a man?
I stand on this. Last I checked, a man needed no one’s permission to be who he was created by God to be.
Christians make excuses for sinners: The enemy is working through them. The devil (Satan) can’t use anyone who’s not willing to be used.
Pastors are scared to keep it THIS real.
Repost from John King Johnson:
Women be like:
I need a man who's gonna be loyal to me, but ALL the women want him.
Who sings R&B but lives like a drill rapper.. with a corporate job but has the trap on lock. That travels and speaks different languages that I can learn from who ain't gonna tell me what to do. A dominant man who let's me do whatever I want. Who's secure yet jealous over me.
Who respects my boundaries but has none of his own. Who pays for everything including my girl's trips without asking questions
He gotta be 6'9" with a foot long 🍆, but not sleeping around. Knows how to get me off 💦 but don't have a lotta bodies.
Who owns property and major in these streets but low-key. Let's me act any kind of way, but checks me, in a way where it's sexy to me and I can choose to ignore it and he don't trip when I talk to him crazy.
A man who loves God, Jesus Christ, is a Christian who submits to Allah SWT, and is a Muslim. Respects and honors Rasulillah PBUH. But counsels with the ancestors follows the laws of Ma'at, is into Lukumi, Voudu and listens to the Loa and honors the Orisha... And makes all that make sense.
Who can teach me everything,but not really but tell me nothing. Sometimes and preferably a Virgo but not really and an Ares but sometimes.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Make this make sense. I’ll wait🤦🏾
The problem isn’t your friends not showing up for you; the issue is YOU still consider them friends! This goes back to what I said earlier: People use the term friend loosely. Friendship requires vulnerability & longevity; you have to invest time with someone, and many people aren’t willing to do that.
We could be entertaining angels and not even know it. That’s why we should reflect Christ at all times.
I get it, we all crave acceptance. All acceptance isn’t good because that acceptance may require compromising your values, in that case you’re rejected because you won’t go along to get along. Being left out is God’s way of saying you’re not needed there.
People may not approve of you. Don't worry about it. God approves of you. People don't determine your destiny. People can't stop God's plan for your life. God called you. God equipped you. God anointed you.
Is marriage required for success in full-time ministry? It seems that way because it’s like every pastor is married. Full-time ministry is tough, but add family and it can be tough balancing both. I’m versed on the pitfalls of ministry because a lot of women are checking for ministers based on position. I think of Pastor John Gray as an example; his infidelity is publicized. Some women will throw themselves at an influential Christian man, so some men need marriage as a covering. My thing is, if a Christian man in ministry needs a wife to keep him straight, he has no business in ministry. He can’t be that spiritually weak to where he won’t put himself in compromising positions with women. He should be so focused on God, lust doesn’t cross his mind. I don’t care how fine a woman is, if God calls me to full-time ministry ALONE…my focus is serving God.

There’s something very wrong with someone doing someone wrong and then expecting the person they KNOW they did wrong to come to them, instead of humbling themselves to go to them.
It reeks of pride, entitlement, control issues and lack of true repentance.
Who do people think they are to do someone wrong, and expect the offended to come to them? Ms. Tera is spot on: Pride, Entitlement, Control Issues & Lack Of Repentance. Chile…I stay away from toxic people like this as far as East is from West.
Having God in our lives is a plus. He has the right people to speak into our lives to shoot us to greatness.
Rats are attracted to cheese. Folks start off as mice tattling about unnecessary things, then become rats when they're grown. I stay away from rats because if they'll tell on this and that person, they'll tell on you.
May God's abundant blessings shower upon you today. As you go through the day, remember that every good and perfect gift comes from our loving Father. Embrace His grace and love, and share that love with others. Have a blessed day!
When you ask God to reveal & remove, be prepared for the unexpected 😩‼️ you’ll lose friends, family members & significant others, but you can’t be mad because he see what your eyes don’t.😌🙏🏾 Keep praying, he’s listening 👂
You can’t be anointed without the attack! When God anoints, he prepares you for the attacks. Joseph sold into slavery by his brothers, Moses had to endure complaints by his followers, etc. Nowhere in the Bible does God promise you won’t face attacks following your anointing. The greatest people in the Bible face trials that preceded their anointing, so what makes us think we’re exempt?
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.
Even if you know what’s going on, sometimes you need to be quiet because the truth will always be revealed!
The body of Christ should be building each other up, not tearing each other down.
Jesus led by example with servant leadership, so if we call ourselves his children, we model his behavior.
The grass is greener on the other side, but the water bill is also higher~Me.
