You're being condition for your space at the top!


I want to encourage that person who has been so deeply wounded and has concluded that life is just a
circle of sadness and traps of disappointment and despair. Before you make your next move, just hear me out for a few seconds.

Using myself as an example, I have taken my life's struggles, pains, disappointments, and failures and used them as a new lens regarding viewing life. Like you, I have had so many that have let me down: unexplainable hurts, broken promises, and the relentless thoughts of life's purpose.

There were times when I felt as if praying was a waste of my time, to the point I had actually stopped praying (which I do not recommend). The abovementioned challenges were doing more for me than I could have imagined. Like everything else in life, every matter, every situation, and life's circumstances, there is a time frame for it to exist. However, during its tenure, we have been conditioned to focus on the negative aspects of it as opposed to viewing it as a new lesson to be successful at future tests. In retrospect, I can indeed thank God for every stumbling block, every setback, every disappointment, and everything else that was unfairly issued to me. Now that the tenure of those challenges has ended. My view of life has changed dramatically; I have developed a greater appreciation and understanding of life.

My friend, hear me today: the worst mistake you could make is to give up, cave in, or throw in the towel. In doing this, you are tossing out the ingredients specifically designed to prepare you for what you're being conditioned for. This is why God rarely informs folks of the details of their process. For example, can you imagine if God said to Joseph, you will be second in charge of Egypt, but before that happens, your brothers will hate you, you will be sold into slavery, you will be falsely accused of rape and thrown into prison for something you did not do? He would have said, "I would love to be second in charge of Egypt, but if I have to go through all that, forget it!" If you read Joseph's story carefully, every struggle he encountered was in preparation for where he was headed.

Again, I want to tell someone tonight: DO NOT GIVE UP! DO NOT GIVE IN! If viewed correctly, your challenges are temporary and conditioning you for greater. You will experience your turn at the helm, but you must be trained before your arrival there.............

The bottom line is that life will always seem difficult, sad, disappointing, and the like when one is being conditioned for change. My friend, your challenges prepared you to appreciate and maintain what has been set aside for you. You can not enjoy or even handle what's awaiting your arrival with your current state of mind. In fact, your current state of mind is an enemy of your future!

All = Good + Bad

I say to folks all the time,” if you don’t learn and seek God for yourself, then any clown can give you
their version of him”
I have attended many churches and unfortunately a vast majority of them are of the erroneous belief that the bad things in life are of the Devil and the good things in life are of God. I promise you if you have been led to view life from this perspective, then I can also promise you, you’ve been missing God quite a bit.

You see my friend; it would be considered an oxymoron statement (seemingly self-contradictory), if you say to me God is in control on one hand but the Devil has done so and so on the other hand as if he can stop the plans of God. The reality is, if God is in control like we say he is (which I most certainly believe), then we must also conclude at the very least that he’s supervising whatever is taking place in our lives, be it good or bad!
To be in control suggest having complete power and authority and at minimum everything and everyone must seek your approval or permission to operate or function in whatever it is that you’re in control of.

Case and point! In Genesis 12:1-9, God not only called out Abram (who was later called Abraham) from among his relatives but God also made him a whole heap of promises concerning his seed in spite of him having no children at the age of 75 years. Now one would think that after such grand promises it would be smooth sailing for Abram, right? Well, interestingly enough beginning in verse 10 of the above mentioned chapter, things began to go south for Abram in that the land began to experience a famine (recession in today’s world). This caused Abram and his wife to go into a heathen land for support and resources.

At this point in the story most “Bible carrying Christians” would see this circumstance as the work of the Devil to hinder the plans of God for Abram’s life. Well if you continue to read the story you’ll read where what appeared to be an obstacle literally brought increase in the time of famine (recession) to the life of Abram. Question! What is it that you’re labeling as a disappointment but the reality is it’s a part of God’s plan to what he’s promised you?

You see my friend, the above biblical account is a candid example of the term, “God is in control”. Whatever appears to be disappointing, depressing, unfixable, a waste of time or constant limitations, I promise you God is indeed supervising these events all in an effort to provide good as your end result, just like he’s promised in Romans 8:28.
As a reminder, Romans 8:28, clearly states that “ALL THINGS” (suggesting the good and the bad)are  working in concert to produce good for those that love God and for those that are called to his purpose.

Whoever this understand and revelation is for today, know for sure that God is fully aware of your disappointments, constant struggles, depression, fatigue, confusion and most of all your frustrations. However, God wants you to know that even though it seems as if the Devil is working against you like in the case of our faithful brother Abram, know for sure that the reality is, because God is in control Satan and his cohorts are unknowingly working for you to bring about the will of God as it relates to your life.

God said to remind you and that you must ponder his word that says, “IN EVERYTHING (GOOD AND BAD) GIVE THANKS; FOR THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS FOR YOU! 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
This setback is just a setup for your comeback…………

If you haven't already, You'll discover that timing is everything!



 I can think of any number of people that are filled with many talents. In fact I personally know of folks that have a far better voice than a Michael Jackson, better preaching skills than a Bishop T.D Jakes or they're a better businessmen than a Donald Trump.

 So, what is it that makes these folks different from the above mentioned names? Well my friend to your surprise the difference is simply timing! You see my friend, the recognition, value and potential profit of your talents, gifts and abilities is solely dependent on the right time!

 This may seem crazy to the average person, but our bibles makes this understanding abundantly clear. Scripture reminds us of the following, " To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven" Ecclesiastes 3:1. This is such a powerful scripture and by extension a comforting law. In that, it's making clear to the reader that everything that will ever take place in one's life there is a specific season and time assigned to it simply because it's pregnant with purpose. In other words what you have for the most part in terms of your gifts, is to benefit others rather than yourself. If you find yourself being anxious and more concern about what your talents and gifts will do for you instead of its purpose for others. Then it becomes easier to miss or misinterpret your seasons and times or at best pollute its purpose if you do manage to achieve your season and times. I promise you, your gifts and talents once shared or ministered to others will automatically benefit you.

 To take it a step further, a season, is understood to mean an assigned appointment and the understanding of time is the tenure allowed for that particular season or appointment. For example, let say you have a talent for singing, well according to the law in Ecclesiastes 3:1 you are guaranteed a season or appointment for its recognition and a certain amount of time for its purpose to be accomplish.

 So the reality is, you should not be on a quest looking to some place or person to sow a financial seed to, so that God will cause someone to recognize your talent. Instead your request to God should be, "Lord please equip me with the ability to discern or recognize when its my season and time to display the gifts and talents you've given me because according to your law I am guaranteed the season and time for the talents and gifts you gave me in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

 I will end with this, seasons and times are guaranteed for all the gifts and talents and provisions God has allotted to us in our life time. However, there is no guarantee that you'll meet those seasons and times. The number one reason for folks missing their assigned seasons and times to display their gift that God has promised will make room for them, is to connect with the wrong, people, places and things. These my friend are the agents of delay and missed opportunities!

"CONSIDER WHO AND WHAT YOU'RE CONNECTED TO!"

The traps of distraction!

Have you ever noticed that whenever something important is about to happen in your life things of less importance all of a sudden pops up?

Most folks speak about how great they are at "multi tasking". What they don't realize is that if they're not focusing on the ultimate task, then every other task will amount to mere distractions.

A distraction doesn't ...
usually walk around wearing a T-shirt and carrying a banner that says "Hi I am Mr. distraction". To the contrary distractions are very much engaging and quite entertaining. Simultaneously a distraction's purpose is to consume your time in an effort to prevent you from connecting and concentrating on what's important to you at that particular time of your life. Also, destroying what you currently have or preventing you from connecting with what has been prepared for you by God in the future.

Isn't it strange that your old boy friend/girl friend decides to pop up when things are finally going good with you and your mate? Isn't it strange that promotion is about to take place on your job but one of your co-workers who have never spoken to you before all of a sudden appears so friendly and nice now? Don't you find it strange that since you've been praying for that financial breakthrough opportunities for you to be dishonest has been overwhelming?

The point I want to make this morning is one that I really think you need to pay serious attention to. You see my friend the Devil is a great listener to our prayers and he's very attentive to our wants desires and our dreams that we share with others. Therefore he's an expert at sending distraction prior to the real deal happening in our lives! As one who has experienced this evil before, I would like to share some tested and proven advice with you this morning.

After making your requests known to God, after sharing your wants, desires and aspirations with others, always and I really mean always ask God to overwhelm you with his spirit of discernment so that you'll be able to decipher if what you are into or about to get into is of him or not. I promise you that this seemingly simple piece of information will determine either joy or misery for you. In fact scripture supports what I am saying to you with the following, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not on thy own understanding. In ALL thy ways we must acknowledge him and as a result he will direct our path or make known to us what is real" Proverbs 3:5-6.

Someone needed to read this this morning......DISTRACTIONS ARE TRAPS TO PREVENT THE REAL THINGS FROM HAPPENING IN YOUR LIFE.... I CURSE AND BIND EVERY SUBTLE AND BOLD SPIRIT OF DISTRACTION AND COMMAND IT TO EXPOSE ITSELF IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. AMEN!

Only the Author knows the ending of your story!

It doesn't matter what you may be experiencing right now, as long as you are alive your story is not over!

Scripture reminds us that Jesus is the "AUTHOR" and finisher of our faith, Hebrews 12:2. An Author is one who has written a book, novel, essay or poem. An Author is also defined as one who is an originator or creator of anything.

Someone needs to desperately know this morning that Jesus Christ has written the script for your life and in spite of what you're being faced with the next page of your life according to the author must read VICTORY!

The lord said to tell you that no human or spirit can erase what he has already authored concerning your life. These mountains that are standing in front of you and seemingly all around you are apart of the script of your life that has been calculated before the foundation of the world all in an effort to advance you.

Only the Author knows how your story will end, in fact he says he's also the FINISHER of our faith.............

My friend, say to your mountain today, "You are apart of the script and I trust the Author and finisher of my faith, that this too will work out for my good!

Don't cut that Devil loose just yet!

"Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?" John 6:70

Jesus Christ understood that not everyone that was a part of his team was in support of him. However he treated Judas (the devil among the twelve) no different than he treated the others but at the same time allowed him to be the devil that he was.

The revelation of this particular scripture is simply this, even the one's that pretend to be in your corner but at the same time stabbing you in the back, have a role to play as it relates to your destiny. The truth is you CAN NOT ARRIVE AT YOUR DESTINY WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF THEIR COVERT EVIL ROLE!

I want to speak to the broken spirit or someone today and not to your frustration. In spite of what you are aware of concerning that person that has betrayed or disappointed you, do not be to quick in cutting that particular devil loose just yet. Unbeknown to that devil, they do play a role in this season of your life. However, what they are planning for bad has been allowed by God to work and benefit you for good. In other word, if you were to act according to your feelings and not according to spiritual insight you will be tossing away apart of the ingredient that is very much needed for your future success. As a heads up, devils are assigned to you by Satan but allowed by God for your benefit.

As a reminder, Jesus clearly said, HE HAS CHOSEN THE TWELVE AND HE WAS FULLY AWARE THAT ONE OF THE TWELVE HE HAD CHOSEN WAS INDEED A DEVIL BUT JESUS NEVER CUT HIM LOOSE. Jesus knew that Judas was apart of the plan for humanity's salvation. In other words, Judas was just apart of a bigger picture but very much needed to complete that picture. There would have been no crucifixion without Judas!!!!!! Nevertheless, he had to perform his allowed assigned role. News flash! GET OUT OF YOUR ENEMY'S WAY AND LET THEM PERFORM THEIR ASSIGNED ROLE SO THAT YOU AND OTHERS CAN GET TO THE NEXT LEVEL!!!!!!!!! Unknowing to that devil he has been permitted by God to assist in advancing you.

My friend, hear me today, as crazy as this may sound, begin to thank God for what he's allowed you to be privy to concerning that person or that group (the devils) for there is purpose to what is seemingly madness, hold your peace and allow the cards to fall the way they were ordained by the master of all plans has designed them to fall........

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth, Psalm 46:10

Understanding the dreams you dream! Part. 8-Limitations and Setbacks!



Many folks are confused as it relates to where they are in life right now. More so for the Christians, he or she feels as if they should be much further than they currently are, especially if they're doing everything that God has commanded them to do.

In our teaching on dreams today, it is my desire to isolate and focus on an overlook area of our dreams, which are indicators of the source of limitations and setbacks in our lives. Now, having said that, have you been having dreams where the setting of your dreams places you at a former residence? Such as your parents’ home, the home of your grandparent’s friends, a former apartment, job, state, island, country etc. What about dreams where you're dressed in your former elementary or high school clothes or you see yourself wearing uniform from a former job?

Such dreams are revealing to the dreamer the source of their consistent every day delays, setbacks, repetitious failures and disappointments. If analyzed carefully, these dreams usually occur, when something good is about to manifest in the dreamer's life.  For example, let’s say next week someone had promised to loan you some money. Then all of a sudden you had a dream where you saw yourself at your old primary school, high school or former college. Well, as with my previous examples such as your former grandparents or parents’ home, these former places and environments represents areas you've covered during the course of your life. So to dream of yourself being in these former places clearly indicates that there are spirits of setback and delay pending or currently operating in your life.

Again, such dreams MUST be cancelled upon waking to avoid manifestation in your everyday life. The dream gives one the opportunity to change pending events from its origin, which will always be spiritual. Scripture reminds us that God will not allow nothing to happen in the earth unless he reveals his secrets to his servants the Prophet. Now you may say that you're not a prophet so this doesn't apply to you. Well, let's see what scripture has to say about identifying those that have a prophetic calling on their lives. "And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a PROPHET among you, ithe LORD will make myself known unto him in a VISION, and will speak unto him in a DREAM! Numbers 12:6. If you are a dreamer my friend, then it is clear that God has called you as a Prophet.

Another aspect of such dreams; the dream could be indicating that something from the past is controlling currents events of the dreamers life. In other words something or someone of the past has program the dreamer to fail, to be depressed, to not get married, a particular sickness, poverty etc. a perfect example of this principle would be found in Judges 6. In this particular chapter the children of Israel were suffering great oppression from their enemies. Things got so bad that the children of Israel cried out to God. In an effort to condense this story, scripture tells us that Gideon was instructed to go to his Father’s house and destroy his Father’s altar (Demonic altar) and erect an altar unto God. It was only when Gideon followed the instructions given him that change came about for the children of Israel. The spiritual law in this passage of scripture is that there were demonic covenants in place that no one knew of that was causing everyone else to suffer. So, again this is emperical evidence that we are destroyed because we lack knowledge! It is what we don't know that is keeping us in the cycle of failure and non progress, however our dreams are the revelears of such mysteries.

There are folks that have a difficult time maintaining relationships or getting along with folks in general. Such people will have frequent dreams of a certain person in their past or constant dreams of their childhood residence. In most cases such dreams are revealing some trauma that took place with that person they're always seeing in the dream or the residence in which it took place, such as rape, molestation, rejection, abandonment etc. These are but a few of the root causes as to why the dreamer can not progress in their current or past relationships. Their dreams are indicating that in order to move on these issues must be addressed.

I met a young lady some time ago who at the time was recently married. She was overwhelmed by a dream she had. She dreamt that Her husband, her Mom and herself were in a red vehicle with her Mother at the driver's wheel, she sat immediately behind her Mother and her husband sitting next to her. She said that her Mother was driving with great speed taking over other vehicles, dream ended! Well, the dream was quite clear to me and I contemplated for a few seconds considering if she was prepared for the interpretation. I said to her that the dream was speaking directly to her marriage. The car represented the life of the couple however there was disorder in their union. The driver's seat of the vehicle indicates control, which her mother was positioned, indicating that her mother was controlling their marriage. The road in which she was speeding on indicated the couple's life journey that not only was her mother controlling but doing whatever pleases her and with passion (the color read represents passion and determination). The dreamer sitting in the back seat saying nothing to her mother indicated that even from her past life she always allowed her mother to do whatever she wanted to do without no interruptions on her part. Her husband, who was sitting next to her should have been sitting at the driver's wheel as the head of his family. 

The husband's position next to his wife in the back seat of the vehicle also indicates that he has issues from his past of not taking a rightful role and allowing folks to run over him. At the end of the interpretation, the young lady began to weep because even though I don't know anything about her or her situation, she confirmed that everything I said was true and 100 percent accurate. Again, your dreams are always revealing the root causes of your every day situations.

So, for those of you that are having dreams of your parents, grandparents or former residence or being in the back of a car, house, back yard etc then such dreams  are clearly pointing to things of the past. Due to us having little to no knowledge of what our foreparents would have done during their life time that could have invoked a curse on the family, we must ask God to reveal and destroy all evil covenants of our forefathers or generations of the past that have knowingly or unknowingly set limitations on your life and the life of our family.

As a reminder, scripture says a curse causeless cannot come, Proverbs 26:6. This simply means there must be a spiritual legal right for a curse to run its course in any family, group, organization etc. thus, your life is limited currently because of evil covenants of the past that we're not even aware of, thus the purpose of your dreams.

These evil covenants could be where our fore parents participated in the occult/witchcraft, meaning whether they visited these folks to protect themselves, send curses to others etc. In any event whatever reason they visited them knowing or unknowing to you, an evil covenant was formed. These dreams are very serious and MUST be given serious attention because it’s pointing and exposing to the dreamer as to why the setbacks, delays disappointments and never getting ahead in life seems to be so consistent.

Please! Cancel these dreams and ask God to destroy the evil covenants originated by your forefathers in the name of  Jesus Christ, if it is your desire to go forward.
