Our faith is being tried and perfected as praise unto God. Our faith is what pleases God and our doubt and unbelief is what is unbelievable and is displeasing unto God. A faith that is not tested CANNOT be trusted! Faith is an ACTION verb and is a complete sentence. We must ask ourselves everyday, "Is my faith pleasing God?" What letter grade do I have on my report card in the subject of faith? If Jesus wrote a letter to your church (building where we congregate) and us (individually), what would He have against us? What does He like? If we we were to write an honest letter, what would it say? We must please God everything with our faith! Will Jesus say, "O ye of little faith" or "I have not seen so great faith in (fill in where you live), your faith has made you whole!" If Jesus were to look for your faith, where would He find it? Is it under the bed? Is it in you?

Amid the chaos and uncertainty, we are experiencing in the world today, it is important for us to recognize that there are spiritual forces at work that seek to undermine God's plan and purpose. These are the plans of the enemy, who seeks to create confusion, division, and chaos in our lives and throughout the world.

To combat these negative influences, we need to "come up higher in the spirit realm." This means seeking a deeper level of spiritual insight, understanding, and connection with God. It means being vigilant in our spiritual practices, such as prayer, meditation, and reading scripture, so that we can be more attuned to the enemy's plans and better equipped to resist them.

The urgency of this call to action cannot be overstated. We are living in a time when the world is facing unprecedented challenges - from the pandemic to social unrest to political upheaval. These are all symptoms of the enemy's plans to create chaos and division in our world.

But we must not be discouraged or give up hope. Instead, we must be determined to "annihilate all plans of the enemy" by taking bold action to resist evil and uphold God's plan for our lives and for the world. This requires courage, faith, and a willingness to stand up for what is right, even in the face of opposition.

So let us sound the alarm and call people to come back to God in a hurry. Let us be determined to make a positive impact in the world by turning to God and engaging in spiritual warfare. Together, we can overcome the plans of the enemy and create a world that is more peaceful, just, and aligned with God's will.

There is so much going on in the world right now that it can be overwhelming. We are seeing people hating each other for the color of their skin, lying, cheating, and stealing. The churches are not immune to this, as many have become weak and ineffective in the face of these challenges.

Moreover, death, violence, natural disasters, and accidents are at an all-time high, making us feel more vulnerable and helpless than ever before. Even everyday things like the cost of food at the grocery store can add to our stress and anxiety.

But in times of need, where do we turn? For many people, the first place they go is the church. This is because the church represents a source of hope, comfort, and strength in troubled times. It is a community of believers who come together to support one another, share wisdom, and seek God's guidance.

So let us heed the call to "come up higher in the spirit realm" and engage in spiritual warfare against the plans of the enemy. Let us be the change we want to see in the world, even in the face of opposition and adversity. And let us remember that we are not alone - we have each other and the power of God on our side. Together, we can overcome the challenges of this world and create a better future for ourselves and for the generations to come.

If you can control your mouth, you can control your life. We need to learn to HALT. Halt is an verb; an action verb, and it means to bring or come to an abrupt stop. We NEVER make a decision/decisions when we are:

H ungry

A ngry

L onely

T ired

If we cannot control our mouth, something is in our heart needs to be addressed. That situation is exposing the comdition of your heart. Sometimes, anger can surface as a result of T.R.A.U.M.A. Trauma means wound. Our wounded hearts cause us to lash out with our mouth. People don't know how simple we're NOT, until we open our mouths! My neighbor used to say: "If you don't have nothing good to say, say something good!" Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Evil proceeds from our hearts and flows through our mouths. Situations come to expose what's in our hearts. We should ask for a clean heart and a right spirit. Both of these affect and infect our mouths!

Control your thoughts, control your mouth; control your mouth, control your attitude; control your mood; control your mood, control your behavior; control your behavior, control your character; control your character, control your life; control your life, control your city; control your city, control your state, region, and the world. Your mouth starts and ends with the one in the mirror...YOU!

     Do you know that it is spiritual when you address more than your spirituality? The other areas that you address will positively affect your spirituality! 3 John 2 (AMP) says: Beloved, I pray that in every way you may succeed and prosper and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually]. You will not only possess a great relationship with the Lord spiritually, but others naturally! Jesus had to live in a natural body and was subject to natural cares and concerns of this world!

     He often isolated Himself (Mental Health); He walked where He had to go (Physical Health and Physical Therapy); He told the disciples to look in the fish mouth for the money to pay taxes and debt of what they owed to the IRS government (Financial); He went to visit his friends and ate with them (Mary, Martha, and Lazarus), and He told us that foxes have holes, birds have nest, but the Son of man has nowhere to lay His head (Environmental). In a nutshell,  He was HOMELESS! We served a NATUARAL Savior that was God in the FLESH. He referred to Himself as the Son of Man! We are the son and daughters of a man and woman's SEXUAL UNION and we better address the natural things that life demands! LIFE will LIFE you if you don't LIVE your LIFE! Boom!

I'll wait until my change comes. While I'm waiting for my change to come, I'll change while I wait. All things that I need to work on, I'll put in the work to do so. I want to be complete and furnished for every word and work. We must allow patience to have her perfect work so that we may be entire and lacking nothing! In patience, we possess our souls. We must walk by faith and work by formula (Dr. Joe Dudley). While we wait, we need to be waiting with a positive attitude without murmuring or complaining, serving God, and serving others. At the appointed time, He that shall come, will come and His reward shall be with Him! 

     On Sunday, May 28th, celebrating Pentecost. I am reminded that the disciples asked Jesus about restoring Israel back to them and Jesus responded that it wasn't for them to know, but only His Father knew. Sometimes, our prayers or requests are not answers at the time that we prayed. We pray, prophesied, laid hands, and have witnessed the Holy Spirit move through us with power and testimonials. However, it appears that our prayers haven't been answered yet. Only the Father knows the time and seasons.

     In other words, God has an appointed time to answer what we have diligently prayed about, been seeking, keep reminding God about, and been warring in the spirit for. Our posture is to be obedient, continue in faith, and to follow the assignment. God is going to blow your mind. Will you be ready when the bridegroom comes with his reward? Can you stand to be blessed? He that shall come will come! 

Faith cometh by hearing; and hearing by the Word of God. The suffix -eth means continually, perpetual, and ever running out. This means that faith continues when we continue hearing the Word of God. On two occasions last week, a brother and I were praying in the spirit. On last Thursday (5/18),  Holy Spirit said through him, "BREAK-THROUGH," and on last Saturday (5/20), He said, "IT IS WELL!" Receive that in Jesus name!

     The litmus test of how anointed you are is the place where the most warfare and struggle is. It seems that you have gotten tested the most in this area. It appears that when you pray, prophesy, and lay your hands on others, the prayer is answered, the prophecy came to pass, and healing took place instantly, however, you have not seen any manifestation in your life (YET)! You receive testimonials from others, yet you are waiting to testify.

     You are a true Prophet for others, yet it seems like you are a false Prophet in your own life. The good news is that God is stretching your capacity in the spirit. You are learning patience, process, total dependence on God, and humility. The greater your wait, the greater the blessing. God is bragging on and is using you as a memorial. Everything that God told you and revealed to you is TRUE! DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT BE AFRAID TO PRAY AND PROPHESY to yourself AGAIN. Prepare and work on your character and challenge yourself in those areas that need improvement. Trust God's impeccable timing. You shall recover ALL! You are suffering for righteousness and not as an evildoer. Remember, the place that caused you the greatest pain will cause you the greatest breakthrough! And it SHALL come to pass! Selah. A-Men!

     I am thankful unto God that He grants us the opportunity to retake tests. I am humbled that He affords us the opportunity to see if we will humble ourselves to make things right. I realize that effective communication is key, especially when it pertains to different cultures. It is important we process information aright with understanding, to effectively communicate it. 

     Misunderstanding and miscommunication can occur if the right questions are not asked. Not only should we ask the appropriate questions, we must understand with clarity through patience and active listening. Most communication is in the form of non-verbal communication. I am grateful for the wisdom that Dr. Fuller has to instruct and correct me so that I may gain knowledge, wisdom, and understanding.

     Life provides on-the-job training and is a classroom where we are always learning. I got the opportunity to communicate with someone from another culture and I apologized for my misunderstanding and miscommunication. He understood and we got past any barriers that can lead to misunderstanding and miscommunication such as pride, selfishness, and offense. We had a great conversation in the spirit of peace and in the bond of unity.

     Because my motive was right and my emotions were alright, it was a positive outcome that God is pleased with. In closing, remember that everything communicates. We must communicate in the correct spirit and with understanding.

                       Questions of Consideration

1. What if the person who has hurt and/or offended you communicate to you that they meant to do it?

2. What if the person(s) tell you that they knew what they were doing when they did it to you?

3. What if the person(s) who you were counseling has triggered you when they communicate with you that they liked what they did, currently doing, and will continue the negative behavior?

4. What if the person who has offended or harmed you is deceased?

Can you forgive under these extreme circumstances? Comment

Earlier this week, I was facilitating a group at my job and I was encouraging the clients. Some of them expressed their concerns about still remaining hospitaIized. As is custom, I always inquire about their news concerning their discharge date from the hospital. One of the young ladies truthfully expressed that if she was discharged, she would probably use alcohol and/or drugs. She expresses that she is clean because she doesn't have access to it. I appreciated her honesty. I informed the class that the best opportunity to learn what you need to work on , is to be given the opportunity to experience it.

When my patience needs to be tested, the most agitating two clients not only were in my group at the same time, but sat next to each other. They bickered, argued, cursed, and antagonized each other on a regular basis. I came to the conclusion that both of them were just alike. The same thing that has to be corrected and redirected from the other staff, is the same thing that aggravates each other!

In closing, I'm wondering if the SAME thing that you are agitated about in the other person, is the SAME thing that is agitating them! God is using you both as a mirror to become each other's reflection to see  what you need to get rid of! Maybe what you need is in the other person and instead of fighting, remain silent and humble yourself. Maybe the same negative quality in that you don't like in each other, God doesn't like about you! Stop, look, listen. You have the right to remain silent! Anything that you say, can and will be used against you in the Courts of Heaven!

Wait. These are words that are an abhorration to many. We have gotten use to being in the rat race of life. We live in a microwave generation where we want things quick, fast, and in a hurry. Many times, we lack spiritual fortitude and tenacity to get down in the trenches. We must learn to wait on the Lord. While we wait, we must work! These are the benefits of waiting:

1. We receive God's best.

2. We develop patience to possess our souls.

3. Our character is perfected.

4. We depend solely on him.

5. Testimony 

6. Overcome

7. We realize where ALL of our help comes from.

8. We renew our strength.

9. We learn to self-inventory and remove ALL IDOLS!

10. We develop spiritual tenacity and intestinal fortitude.

Look again. It's not what it looks like. You may have been toiling for years, months, weeks, days, and hours and it appears that nothing is happening. Cast your net to the other side. Your faith is stronger than what you cannot see. You will reap if you don't give up, lose heart, cave in, and quit. Be willing to cast your net to the other side. Remember, it's not what it looks like. 

Berry Gordy, founder of Motown had a son who had a hit song in the 80's, "Somebody's Watching Me." In the song and video, he sang about trying to escape someone always watching him. Integrity is doing the righteous thing when NO ONE is watching. There is always someone who is watching. Our Father, which art in heaven is watching. Because the God of Israel never sleeps, nor slumber, His eyes are in every place. As a matter of truth, His spirit is in every place. Due to his omnipotence, He is everywhere at the same time. My father used to say that God is the only God that can show himself around the world and back again without even leaving! If we confess the name of Christ, we should feel convicted when we are involved in the untruthful works of darkness! The Holy Spirit convicts, confronts, and converts. We must live righteously as if everyone is watching. Since God is watching, that's the majority! Integrity is a heart issue. Let's make sure our hearts are right and our emotions are alright!
