You're Helping Yourself When You Help The Poor

Whatever promises God made in His word concerning addressing the needs of the poor, make no mistake—His plan to accomplish this will always be through us!

The evidence of the abovementioned statement is clearly expressed in Philippians 2:13, which says, "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." This scripture is so renewing in the sense that while we may feel the need to assist someone in a lesser position, the reality is, according to Philippians 2:13, it was God who ignited our desire to help because it is His will to assist whomever He is directing us to. Again, God will help that person as promised, but we are his feet and hands on the earth. Now, do you see it is never by accident or chance that you're motivated to assist the less fortunate? Believe me when I say to you. God is fully aware of the events concerning your life related to your future. Therefore, when he positions someone less fortunate than you in your path. He is trying to get you to invest in that person's life so that he can assist you in your future troubles, according to Psalm 41:1-3. According to God's plan, the poor unknowingly helped us despite our mission to help them. This revelation emphasizes the importance of compassion and empathy for our fellow man and obeying the still small voice of the Holy Spirit as he continues to inspire us to meet the needs of the less privileged. Please, don't you ever miss another opportunity to help the poor who unknowingly came to help you! We are the hands and feet of God on the earth to manifest his promises among each other. Psalm 72:12-13 12 For He shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper. 13 He shall spare the poor and needy and shall save the souls of the underprivileged.

Transition requires change, facilitated by frustration

I can vividly recall years ago. I was at my lowest. It seems as if whatever could go wrong in my life was doing just that, going wrong? It was almost as if my enemies were standing in line, just waiting for their opportunity to take a shot at me.

As you might imagine, frustration was the order of the day for me. For those of you that haven't experienced it as yet. Prolonged frustration will eventually manifest into severe emotional pain combined with deep-rooted bitterness if not observed from a positive perspective.

The most challenging part of my experience with frustration wasn't so much that my enemies were relentless in their attacks against me. Instead, it was my repeated cries to God that seem to fall on deaf ears. Additionally, I knew deep within my spirit that I should have been much further in my life than I was at that time. The best way I can explain it is, it was like I was in a prison cell with a perfect display of all the beautiful things I wanted to do and achieve in life. However, due to the visible and invisible restrictions and limitations I was unable to break free to participate in what I knew was a better quality of life seemingly impatiently waiting on me.

To make matters worse, my life seems to be programmed to repeat the same cycle of fruitlessness, not to mention the myriad of friends who were quick to give their version of my ongoing saga. In spite of all that I have mentioned. I was completely unaware that I was in TRANSITION for better! The reality is, it should not matter if God responds to our cries or not if our TRUST is unconditionally embedded in him. After all, He knows the end of all beginnings, which is also inclusive of our transitions.

The word transition is defined as a "change" from one state or place to another. However, during the tenure of that transition more than likely your life will be turned upside down with zero sign of human or spiritual help. The reason for this as I have discovered is that "CHANGE" is the only required component for a transition. In other words, there can be no transition outside of the act of change to the person being transitioned. The purpose of this required change will almost always be initiated and administered by FRUSTRATION! It is through the process of frustration that you become so fed up with the same old fruitless non-producing routine of people, places, and things that then and only then you embrace the change that is required to transition you to your next, which you probably would have dismissed under normal circumstances.

So the reality is, your life is currently turned upside down by the process of frustration to provoke the necessary changes in you to assist with your transition for better. God had to transition me in just about every area of my life, and in retrospect, my way of thinking and behaving back then would certainly be my greatest enemy today. In fact, if I maintained my resistance to the changes provoked by frustration back then, I would be a complete failure today. So, why not look at your frustrations as God nudging you on the shoulder and gently whispering in your ear saying, "Prepare for a change in your everyday life because I am about to take you to another level."

"Embrace the change for your transition that will be administered by frustration."

Knocked Down But Not Knocked Out

It is disappointing for the adversary to witness you rising back up after a setback.

Yes, you've been knocked down, but you must discontinue in your own strength and speak to your spirit, saying, "Greater is he that is within me than he that is in the world." "Father, I can do everything through you who strengthens and enables me." "Lord, you are my help in the time of trouble."

Why have you succumbed to defeat when there are so many scriptures to empower your spirit, man? Your enemy has given his best shots. Now it's your time to get back in the ring of life and fight as if your life depended on it. Only this time, your strategy will be struggling with the word of God!

Father, restore my mind and cause me to focus on your word in my attempts today to achieve victory over the obstacles posted in my path. Elevate me spiritually to see beyond my temporary circumstances. Assist me in guiding my tongue to avoid complaining and begin speaking what I desire to see instead of agreeing through my confessions of the negative things displayed before me.

Lord, enable me to possess the power and the mindset like your servant Job, who continued to worship and praise you despite everything going in the opposite direction of his desires.

THIS DAY. I WILL ARISE; THIS DAY, I WILL SPRING FORWARD; THIS DAY, I WILL AWAKE FROM MY SLUMBER; THIS DAY, I WILL BREAK LOOSE FROM THE CHAINS OF PROCRASTINATION AND LAZINESS, ALONG WITH THAT NEGATIVE PATTERN OF THINKING. I will achieve all this by the grace, mercy, favor, strength, and Spirit of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen!

God's Ordained Positions Is Where You'll Find Your Provisions

Position: a condition concerning place, location, or situation. Particularly relating to favorable or unfavorable circumstances.

The favor of God that sets you apart is based on the instructions you follow regarding your current and future positions. After God instructed Elijah to declare a famine over the land, He also directed Elijah that his next position would include his provision during the famine, as recorded in 2 Kings 17:1-5.

Provision is defined as an arrangement or preparation beforehand for the doing of something, the meeting of needs, the supplying of means, etc.

Today, I would like to share some good news with you. God's favor is upon your life, and as a result, provision has been made for that complex, stubborn, and seemingly impossible situation you find yourself in. However, it is important to follow God's instructions to fully participate in this provision and occupy the position assigned to you.

To refresh your memory, even though God instructed Elijah to declare a famine, it did not excuse him from participating. However, God told Elijah to go to the brook Cherith, where he would find his provisions waiting for him. It's important to note that Elijah could accept or reject these crucial instructions. Before we move forward, please say to God, "Lord, please provide me with detailed instructions to my assigned positions where my provisions await me, in the mighty name of Jesus!"

"And it shall be, that thou shall drink of the brook; and I (God) have COMMANDED the Ravens to feed thee THERE!, 2 Kings 17:4.

My friend, hear me as I speak to your spirit this morning, GOD ALMIGHTY HAS ALREADY MADE PROVISION FOR YOUR PRESENT CONDITION, BUT IT'S LOCATED AT YOUR FUTURE POSITION!

"Your priority now should be seeking God's instruction for your next position. Ask Him to guide you towards the right place, location, people, or environment to proceed to. Many of you may struggle unnecessarily because you are in the wrong position waiting on God's provisions."

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In ALL thy ways, ACKNOWLEDGE him; as a result, He SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS! Proverbs 3:5-6.

YOUR DIVINE POSITION HAS INCLUSIVE OF IT YOUR PROVISION THAT WAS MADE IN ADVANCE OF YOUR PRESENT DISLIKE CONDITION...................

Mountains are moving, walls are falling

Mountains are moving, and walls are falling in the realm of the spirit. The Lord and God of all hope is making clear your spiritual path for the manifestation of your much-awaited release and victory in the natural.

School fees will be met! Lending institution loans will be satisfied! Families will be brought back together! Things that were either lost or stolen will be restored and replaced! Resources will not only be restored but also maintained all because of what is going on spiritually. "Thou shall arise and have mercy upon Zion (God's people): for the time to FAVOR her, yea the SET TIME is come" Psalm 102:13.

Gideon was sore afraid because he knew it was not humanly possible to defeat the Midianites, the Amalekites, and the heathen armies of the east that had joined forces against Israel with his 300 men God insisted he goes to war with. Gideon was unaware of the simple fact that the spiritual components and agents in this war had already been addressed spiritually. Thus, God made the following statement to Gideon before engaging in the PHYSICAL battle between Gideon's army and the armies of his enemies.

God made it clear to Gideon, "Arise and go down to the Enemy's camp; for I have DELIVERED them into your hands, Judges 7:9. The word delivered speaks to or suggests something or an event that has already happened. With that said. Then how was it possible for God to tell Gideon that he'd already delivered Gideon's enemies into his hands (won the war) when the reality is Mr. Gideon and his 300 men had yet to launch an attack against his enemies?

Well, this is just another clear biblical example of the spiritual law of Ephesians 6:12, meaning our real battles and issues must be addressed from the spirit realm as opposed to making the center of our fight between flesh and blood (human beings). In other words, the spiritual battle between Gideon's army and his enemies had already been won in the spiritual realm, even though they had yet to physically engage in war. Nevertheless,  the results of what God did in the unseen world/spirit world automatically secured Gideon's victory in the physical realm (our natural world).

I am saying to someone this morning that have spiritual ears to hear and spiritual eyes to see beyond their overwhelming misleading circumstances that God has removed the spiritual stumbling blocks, walls, mountains, and all spiritual impediments to secure you nonstop victories in the natural!

As a reminder, absolutely nothing happens physically unless it was conceived or manufactured spiritually first! The mystery behind you repeatedly going around the same issue was due to spiritual blockages you were unaware of that prevented physical manifestation!

Come in agreement with what God has already done. In other words, stop repeating your prayers. Instead, begin thanking God, who has removed the spiritual impediments for answering your prayers in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ!

Father, I thank you that the mortgage is paid, the school fees are paid, and the resources are endlessly flowing in like never before. Thank you, Lord, that relationships have been restored and all losses and missed opportunities have been reinstated, ALL BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU'VE DONE IN THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT JUST FOR ME, IN THE MIGHTY AND MATCHLESS NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN!

The greatest sign of commitment is discipline!

While many are aspiring to be Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers, developing a closer walk with God, being married, having children, job promotions and whatever else; the ingredient call discipline is usually absent from their equation in achieving their desires.

To be discipline suggests that you have thoroughly considered the principles, rules and regulation of whatever it is that you're getting yourself into and at the same time decided that you would subject yourself to the rules, regulations and principles that accompany and govern that situation in an effort, to achieve your intended desires..... This my friend now becomes the personification of commitment!

So based on the above understanding let's take note of the following scenario. Are you involved with someone that speaks of how committed they are, however you've observe a major lack of discipline in their life? Well my friend this is called "putting the carriage before the horse", meaning, a horse pulls a carriage but it is impossible for a carriage to pull a horse. Therefore commitment will always be the end result of the consistent acts of discipline! In other words discipline is the engine that generates commitment.............

Discipline folks are not surface people, meaning their calculations of any situation is based on its surface and depth. It will be as a result of this overall assessment that they will then determine if they are capable of disciplining themselves to produce commitment to whatever it is they're planning on attaching or binding themselves to.

Uncommitted folks are just the opposite, they are always ready to leap before they look and consider after they would have act! Fortunately, you don't have to possess a spirit of discernment or be a prophet to recognize an uncommitted person. uncommitted folks are far more talkers than doers, unstable, always with an excuse, rarely able to fulfill promises, classic disappointers, always with big dreams and big ideas engulfed with big talk but it's usually followed with little to no action.

These folks are agents of Satan to keep you and themselves delayed or setback in life. Scripture tells us that a double minded (indecisive) man is unstable in not some but all of his ways and always armed with excuses to defend his instability to be discipline to achieve commitment, James 1:8, Scripture goes on to say, "He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough" Proverbs 28:19. The understanding of this scripture is suggesting that the one who works with discipline shall have a harvest at the end of the day, but the one that follows and believe in those that are big talkers, big dreamers with no action and gives no evidence of discipline or commitment in their lives. Then, it will be such persons that's holding their hand and guiding them on the road to poverty and a non-progressive life,

The bottom line is this my friend, if you want to be true to yourself and really determine if the carriage has been placed in front of the horse in your case with Mr. or Ms. Committed, then stop listening to their promises and exaggerated talk, now begin to mentally compare what they have said with the disciplines of life and this is how you will determine that their talk of commitment is just that, a talk and far from a reality.

"Ye shall know them by their fruits" Matthew 7:16.

Self imposed curses

A self-imposed curse is where one speaks evil or negativity to their own demise. In reality statements such as "I am so broke", "Things never work out for me", "I am sick and tired" etc. are curses being brought on by oneself.

A self-imposed curse does two things, and they are:

1. Place the individual in a spiritual cage, meaning, they can see freedom and opportunities but they cannot participate in them.

2. It holds you back from arriving at your divine appointments. Meaning you've spoken against the will and purposes of God for your life. Such as, "They always pass me when it's promotion time" "Look like only things happen for the white man".

As you can see it was your own words against yourself that has placed you in the backward, delayed position you've found yourself in. Opportunities has fled you as a result of the power of your words against yourself.

Let's look at the spiritual laws that governs this common behavior:

"A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth" Proverbs 13:2

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof" Proverbs 18:21

"Thou art snared (trapped) with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken (held captive) with the words of thy mouth" Proverbs 6:2.

My people are foolishly being destroyed because they insist on avoiding and rejecting available knowledge, Hosea 4:6

Persistence Is Key

The critical factor that sets winners apart from losers is Persistence. Persistence, derived from the word "persist," means to endure and continue in the face of opposition, obstacles, or discouragement.

Some agents of Satan have been well-trained to persistently attack believers of Jesus Christ. They are skilled in using distraction, fear, and worry tactics to keep believers away from God's Word or anything related to God. Again, the main component of their strategy is Persistence.

The average Christian has yet to understand the importance of being constant, relentless, and Persistent in prayer, speaking the Word of God, declaring it, believing it, and never ever taking their focus off the spiritual war they are constantly involved in.

Can you imagine being a part of a church where the Pastor holds regular meetings, not to bamboozle you out of your money? Instead, places emphasis on being persistent in encouraging one another, expressing the Christ kind of love to each other, etc.

Can you envision a Pastor assembling a team of mighty prayer warriors to embark on a three-day fast to combat terminal illnesses? During the fast, one group member continuously recites scriptures concerning healing and restoration. Can you imagine the impact and outcomes this could yield?

Look! How long will you accept defeat and non-success as your portion in life? How long will you sit in that building Sunday after Sunday where no one is healed or delivered, and no one seems to be able to get their life together? How long will you sit and hear the same old, such as "God is getting ready to do so and so" or "There is a shift in the atmosphere." Still, there are no scriptures or spiritual strategies to accommodate what God is about to do or what you do to accommodate what God desires.

Oh, I apologize for almost forgetting the spiritual expressions they use to describe their spiritual approach, such as "Nothing leaves God's hands until something leaves your hand" or "The seed that leaves your hand never leaves your life."

Understanding the significance of maintaining consistency and Persistence in our prayers is crucial. It is not just any prayer that matters but incorporates the relevant scriptures that align with our beliefs about what we ask God for. As the Bible states, we are called to remind God of His promises. Unfortunately, we often lose the battle against evil forces due to our lack of endurance. Satan and his followers know this and take advantage of it.

I'm unsure whose spirit I'm addressing, but you must surround yourself with people in a church who prioritize God and His Word. Look for a church that will guide you in finding victory through the Word rather than material possessions. It doesn't matter how long your family has been committed to a particular church. Break tradition and ask God to lead you to a place where His spirit is present.

I implore you not to fall into the same trap as others who believed the Preacher's proclamation, "God is getting ready to do something," but he never gets around to doing it. The freedom God has already granted us is waiting for us to take hold of it. All we need to do is break tradition and adopt the proper protocols to attain the fulfilled life God has in store.

YOU HAVE CIRCLED THIS MOUNTAIN LONG ENOUGH; IT'S TIME TO BREAK TRADITION AND BEGIN O PARTICIPATE IN TRUE FREEDOM!

Don't allow Satan to corner you with hopelessness

Suicides, depression, frustrations and confusion will always be the results of the enemy backing
folks up in a corner and convincing them that there is absolutely no more hope for their situation.

 Many years ago I can recall being in a situation where it seem that the more I prayed the worse it became. This situation would literally consume my thoughts, dictate my behavior and overall made my perception of life gloomy and depressing. In fact it felt as if the entire world was having a party and did not invite me.

 If I only hade a fraction of the wisdom and understanding that I have today, I can assure you the tenure of that gloomy period of my life would have never lasted as long as it did. I want to share with someone today that woke up feeling depress and pin down mentally with relentless thoughts of hopelessness. The whole idea of LIFE and you being given another day to live suggests that there is indeed a solution to your matter. And no! I am not going to say to you, wait on Jesus, the lord will deliver or your season is right around the corner. Those statements are true however, like I have discovered you have to begin challenging those relentless hopeless thoughts that are viciously coming at you by saying to yourself and aloud, "It isn't going to always be this way", "Absolutely nothing last forever", "There are many who have been in worse positions and are now living the flip side of their former situation".

 Aside from the verbal self motivation, I began to force my mind off of my situation by doing different things I would not usually do such as going to the beach, going for a walk, just simply doing stuff differently... Bottom line breaking out of the corner of hopelessness Satan had manage to place me in, with my assistance, of course!

 My friend take it from someone who has been there and done that, you will never find hope, solutions, opportunities or a sense of peace by staying in the corner of hopelessness waiting to die both mentally and physically. Yes! Jesus will help you but contrary to popular belief YOU MUST WANT TO BE HELPED!

 Scripture says we are co-laborers with Jesus Christ, which suggests that there is indeed a part we must play in our own deliverance. Don't let these religious none experience fanatics mislead you, making religious statements such as, "just wait on Jesus", which will do you no good if you're not doing something to work in concert with that statement. Again, I am not discounting that statement but you must begin seeing the light (mentally) before you get to the light (physically) and that will only happen when you begin to convince yourself that, your time of relief is coming, this cannot go on forever, change is going to come, things will and must get better, the day is coming when you will be living the opposite of your situation.

 Father please in the name of your son Jesus Christ, give this person reading this post the spiritual and physical strength needed from this day forward to begin pulling themselves out of their pit of hopelessness so that you can direct and lead them to a place the enemy was convincing them doesn't existed, which is the place you've prepared well in advance of their situation, in the name of your son Jesus Christ. Amen!

There is absolutely nothing to look back for

My words of wisdom for today are simply this, you MUST physically walk away from what God has spiritually separated you from. God has done his part; now it's time for you to do yours so that he can bring what you've been waiting on for so long into existence!

The proof of this being God's doing is the mere fact that you are accomplishing more with others than with the person/s he has spiritually separated you from. Please don't allow your temporal feeling for whom or whatever to override the spiritual release God has provided. As a reminder, Lot's wife turned back and looked at a city that was not only being destroyed but they were commanded not to look back at it. In other words, cut whatever it is loose, never look back and continue going forward!

As a result of disobeying this simple command, she became stuck in one place and could never move forward with the rest of those given the same release. As a reminder, this happened during their season to go ahead, Genesis 19:15-26. Do not forfeit your season because you chose to hold on to something DYING!

God has given many of you the green light to proceed forward, but for some strange reason, you still desire to hold on to what you know has kept you back! While the reality is God is the one that sets our seasons, it is still left up to us to want to participate in those seasons.

Again, Lot's wife is a clear example of this. Her season had arrived, but she had great difficulty releasing what was the source of keeping her back in life. I do not know who this post is speaking to, but I do know that even though God has given you the green light to proceed to your next level, you are allowing someone, something, or someplace to keep you anchored to where you have already outgrown.

The Lord said to specifically tell you, "Remember lot's wife"  Luke 17:32.

SEPARATION IS NECESSARY FOR ELEVATION!!!!!!!!!!

Try it another way

Could it be that obstacles, setbacks, delays, and disappointments in life when viewed from a positive perspective, is God's way of saying, whatever it is you're attempting to achieve can be done another way!

As creatures created by God to progress and advance in life, the enemy has mastered the art of delay and disappointment to hamper our God-given ability to naturally develop.

I would like to say to someone today that your disappointment and frustration is due in part to your limited way of thinking. Yes! You have convinced yourself that your way of trying to attain success is the only way it can be done, when God has been whispering to you, "Try another way." As a reminder, insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

The word of the Lord to you my friend is, "Get up brush yourself off and try again, only this time try it ANOTHER WAY!

This is happening for your GOOD!

Stop worrying! God has put people and things in place prior to you even knowing that you would
have encountered this situation.

The word of the Lord to someone today that is overly concerned about a situation, to the point where your concern is suppressing your faith; please remember and place your confidence in the word of the living God!

"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" 1 Thessalonians 5:18. What seem to be a setback is literally working in your favor. In fact you can not achieve what it is that you desire without this specific ingredient (setback).

As a reminder, Joseph could not achieve the promotion of being second in  charge of Egypt if his brothers were not jealous of him and sold him into slavery. Jesus could not experience the cross outside of Judas' betrayal. Abraham, could not be known today as the Father of faith, had he not leave his comfort zone and go to a place that he didn't even know existed.

Hear me today! Praise God in the  midst of what is seemingly unfair, disappointing, depressing, discouraging and degrading........ But make no mistake, these ingredients are A MUST if it is your desire to ADVANCE!

This is working together for your Good in the mighty name of Jesus the Christ!
