Recruting Day

Lies this is an example of the biggest lie that can be told to you. Let him that have an ear hear this as well as understand the truth. The choice is yours., don't be fooled.




There was a man that died. As the man left his body he was approached by an angel. The angel told him that he must make a decision so therefore he was allowed to visit heaven and hell for a day. The choice was up to him where he would spend eternity. The angel took the man to heaven first. Upon entering the gate he saw gold streets and all kinds of jewels. The gate was made of precious stones. He heard beautiful singing. He heard lots of laughter, but all of a sudden he had to leave.




The man then went down in an elevator that was jamming with music.. As the doors open he saw women walking around in fur coats and had bling from head to toe. He looked over and saw the men with fine bling. They were celebrating and eating the fines food. They even invited him to come and jam with them. This was the coolest place he had ever seen. He started getting comfortable, when all of a sudden he was back with the angel. The angel told him to make a choice now heaven or hell. He thought about it and compared to the two places. After thinking about it he decided on hell.




When he said hell. then at the spread of light he was instantly back in hell. Upon returning to hell he saw fire, filthy conditions, people hollering and crying. He heard the vile language . Such language and anguish that he had never seen. He looked around and saw the devil. He said this is not what I saw when I was here before. Where are the fine clothing,music, bling,parties, and fine eating. The devil looked at him and started laughing , He said that was recruiting day."




What does this tell you. There is a choice to be made. Where will you spend eternity. The choice is our. Chose . If you have already made the right choice then congratulations, you believe the truth is Jesus. If you made the wrong choice or refuse to take sides, you are already making the choice to live without Jesus. Hold on (jumping Jehoshaphat) it is not to late to change and make the right choice, You still can. Do it. Remember I love you and live out loud.

Getting rid of toxic relationships ! Yes, you can.

Why must you get rid of a toxic relationship ? Can you imagine anything so polluted that it just stinks and is No good for you. Well not only is pollution not good for you, but a relationship that has you doubting yourself or not knowing who you are is not good. You may be thinking it will get better, I can handle it, but can you. Toxic relationships can kill you. Who come to kill and destroy you? Even in the natural we must get the toxins out of our body and get a cleanse ? Toxic bodies allow diseases to have an opening to enter. Shut the door to toxic relationships, don't give entrance. You have to detox the whole body can be poison. What is happening to your body,soul,mind and spirit.?



First of all you are putting to much energy in something that is really not worth it? You may say that's a lie I lovves this relationship. I will make it work out. I am not only talking about marriage,or divorce but friends,family and foes. Suggestion: get marriage christian counseling(notice it is christian counseling by the word of God), Many times people will say that it is you, but what if it is not suppose to fit. Look deep before you leap, if single.Nothing or no one should be that important to you that it will separate you from God. Let's not mention our relationships with things. (yes, I said it things)


How many relationships have you witness where life goes on. Look and you will see that the other party is going on with life. Usually you will never know rather they are happy or not. True happiness that is forever fleeting is a part of life. Did you know that nothing or no one can really make you happy. You are asking someone to be God when you totally depend on them. Are they your God? Just remember that people change , but God does not. How can anyone make you happy when they are unhappy? Something and somebody is forever changing ,and not being satisfied themselves Because of our human nature we change moment to moment. One day you feel like a nut, the next day you don't.(get it) God will give you joy , Happiness fades but joy does not. Joy is within you. That is why Jesus said that He came to so that you could have abundant life.



What is abundant life? The meaning of abundant life is nothing missing, nothing broken. No matter what it is you can be fulfilled thru Jesus. In fact we can grow and grow. You always can grow as long as you live. It is not over or finished to Gods says over. How about your relationships (you can have one with money). Who is your master...Is it God,you,others or things.



When things happen then forgive and move on. Did you know that you must be careful who you allow to enter your life. There is a time to be friends and a time to move on. How can who you allow in your life change or make you who you are. One example have you ever been around a negative person. Every time their mouth open there is nothing good. That person can be to fat,to thin, to round. to pretty.to ugly, not happy, broke-not enough money. Everybody has a story which one will you listen too. A relationship can be so negative, there is nothing said good about anything or anyone. This reminds me of chicken Little the sky was always falling. Also, the story of the boy that cried wolf. (You know what I mean)



Do you plan to always feel sorry for yourself or someone that falls down. all the time? When do they get up.? Enough already. No I am not saying you won't fall the bible says a righteous man falls 10 times but he get up. When will we learn that we must help ourselves and be made whole first before others. Many times a person has to have a scape goat, it is always somebody else's fault. Excuses. You can tell them about Jesus, and they always have to tell you about the preacher or the christian people. You may even be negative about some people or religions. That is the problem stop blaming others, what about you. Become the best you, that you can be.You may even be invited to accept Jesus as your personal savior, always an excuse. What we do is usually use a crutch .is. I'm not ready, I am not good enough, I don't believe in Jesus. Well, when that comes How is life working for you?



Someone may even think that I am having so much trouble, why come to Jesus? Why, because He is the answer. No he did not promise you a rose garden. Get real, we live in a fallen world: it is usually about choice. You are given a choice, you may say I will not choose. Listen up, because you did not choose you have made a choice.



As stated before God has everything you need: from a-z. What is your problem. Where are your toxic materials in your life. Get rid of them, no matter what. Just don't sit there and do nothing. Go to the word and do something. My statement again if you want the same results do the same thing. (I hate to be so blunt but what do you call that person..an oxymoron. Are you one?) I know you are not because you are made in the image of God. You have a mouth to speak,,say no more.I am coming out of this. Tell the toxic relationship: I am coming out. If you want to hang with me change has to happen. Say enough. Run to Jesus . Read the word..Dig for the answer and stand on it. What does stand on it mean? Believe. don't stop. Don't quit till you get your breakthrough.



Sometimes you have to take inventory of yourself, and stop doing some things. If you have to stop being with a toxic person. Stop.. Where do you go? If it is not a positive environment?Stop? what do you talk about? if it is not positive, then stop being negative. The bible even tells you to think on these things: things that are good, just, true and of good report. What report. Suppose a doctor tells you bad news. It is the proof but it is not the true. Did you know that facts change, but the truth does not.Let me prove it to you. A crack head is a crack head as long as he uses crack , right you can even see him with it or find it on him. When you stop using crack and no longer use it. It is over, the person can even lose desire or thirst for crack thru Jesus. Did not the fact change? He no longer can be called a crack head. You may always call him one but he can tell you that he is a new person in Christ. This would be the truth because once you accept Jesus you are not the same. The process begins. Day by day a change will come, if you allow it. Let Him do his thing with you, renewing your mind through the word. Change the company you keep. Get around like minded people.Never quit. You then must read the bible to have God's mindset. You are a new person. You can not go back to the same places when you used crack. The person can trade the crack pope into track of Jesus or the Bible. LOVE YOU. LIVE OUT LOUD.

Love ..Has Everything to Do With It!!

Love has a lot to do with your well being. There is a song that says "what does love have to do with it? This is a false misleading statement because love has a lot to do with it. God commands us to love. To love one another. If this was not important then tell me why did God give His only begotten Son for us to have the right to the tree of life.(John 3:16) We are totally told to love one another. Love is also one of the Ten Commandments. What is a commandement? It is a set of orders not suggestion. He did not suggest that you should love. God told you to love.

Jesus also repeated that Love is one of the greatest commandment. To love one another,love your neighbor as yourself and to Love God with all thy heart and soul. He is constantly emphasizing love. He uses 1Corinthians 13:14-18, this is considered the love chapter. God is Love.Love is God. In fact when you see God's name in the bible change reading of it by saying Love.

What is love? Love never fails. Nothing works without it, and there could be no failure with it. It takes faith to believe love will never fail. The natural mind can not understand love, because it only understands selfishness. It believes if you don't look out for no.1, nobody else will. This statement may be right, for selfishness closes the door and he is on his own. God is left on the outside and selfishness is on its own.

But when you practice love by faith,and refuse to seek your own,you put the Farther in action for you. NO man is allowed to do you wrong (1Chronicles 16:33).No weapon that stands before you can prosper. No one has the power to hurt your feelings,because you are not ruled by feelings but by God's love.

This love is revolutionary.If we really understood the great return for living God's love, we would be competing against each other, trying to love the other more. Everyone would emerge from the competition a winner. This would be living the greatest command.(some thoughts from Copeland min.)

Just a thought to keep you walking in love. I call it doing the love walk. You are loved. Live out Loud.

Nothing Compares To Him!

Have you ever compared any religions to each other? How about comparing Jesus to other figures in other religions? Sometimes you need to find out something about another religion to tell others about Jesus. I have studied world religion and find that there is a great difference in how one defines religion. Throughout all my studying I find that there are rituals to do that will ensure your worthiness. This is a short overview about religion. After the overview I would like you to make a decision or define what religion or religious really means. How does this compare to your belief in Jesus? Is Christianity a religion or is religion bondage that will keep you burden down in the perception that you must work hard in order to achieve eternal life. Do religion oppress people.? This is only a light touch on the subject. Do the study yourself? This will help you to understand and how to witness to others in religion even some churches that have rigorous restrictions that are not scriptural or controversial. Shall we begin. Yes this is long , so get ready, get ready. It takes time to examine religions. This is only a few, there are others.
Tell me what do you call a person that keeps trying the same thing over and over and it still does not work. What do you call a person that changes what they are doing to get something or someone that works?(Smart, that is the answer to this.) Same stuff different day.


First of all lets example Buddhism. Buddhism is not the oldest religion. It started with a disenchanted prince that had the pleasure of all the privileges avail to him as a prince. This prince was well protected and did not have dealings with the outside world. He was only familiar with inside the castle or shall we say castled om. One day he without the doors of the castle and he saw so much despair. He was moved by the tragedy of others . He then reconcile to deny himself of the luxuries of a prince and set out to find out ; why was there so much suffering? His pilgrimage lead him to believe that you must work toward humanity to gain the true riches of eternal life. Sounds like you have to do work and that still may not be enough to guarantee a place of eternity. He name himself Buddha. Buddha was poisoned while having diner with others. He died and never rose again. Now he is followed by millions of others trying to work for eternal life. Doesn't sound like he came back to improve anything. There is still suffer age. You worship a stature which is an idol and chant. You chant all day to hear nothing..Does he answer. Can you talk with the idol. I even notice that fruit is left around this idol to give the harvest. At the end of the day is the fruit gone? It is rotten fruit to put in trash. Will this idol speak to you when you call. This has got to be working for you because you are probably still doing this. Are you? Have you passed out yet from all the chanting. Try again. If it is not working? You probably need to do more work. Maybe change to some one that works.


Second religion we will expand on is Muslims. There are many Muslims today. This religion started out with the idea of Muhammad developing a religion in opposition of the known religion. He said he prayed and his god gave him instructions on what to do. Doing his prayer time he says that god spoke to him and gave him the instruction to take over religion and politics . His strategy that was given to him was to kill those that will not follow him and his way of doing things. He had direct information from his god. If they wanted to fight then they had to die by the sword. He killed many on the understanding that he was not gods son but a messenger from god. He imposed strict rule over others. Do or die. After all he was the messenger in charge. He could have any or many women. All the riches, servants and fear of war. He conquered many other people or townships and set up rule. He died and never rose again from the grave leaving his will in his book to be cared out. Sounds like religion of fear to me. Still today they believe that you do or die. This is why they war so much, if you are not going to be Muslim then you die. World domination of all religions. Doesn't sound like he gives in choices?The reward of a martyr is paradise with over 6 virgins, houses and riches? I have always wondered what do the women get? Do they get virgin men and houses plus a place in paradise? Makes you want to go hum. Also they say that ask you to join them to avoid death. If you don't join them, then total domination of war and death. Total take over. Their goal is total domination of the world. This is worshipping a man. Does he answer or talk to you? Is this a personal relationship? Did he die and rise again and sit at the right hand of the Father? Does he cover you with his blood. Does he love you regardless if your choice is not him. Is this one working for you. Had enough. Do you feel you may have made the wrong choice. Then stop the dance, change partners. Change is good with the right partner. Take Jesus as your partner. Where is the love in this? Love is not taught in this religion, hate fro others that are not muslims. Muslims are always at war. There is never peace because this religion is structured on hate for others.


Now lets discuss Hinduism. This religion has been traced back before Jesus. This is an old religion. You have seen the statures of the hands and etc. They believing in transcending above the mind. They meditate and levitate. They believe in different degrees of meditating the highest degree is nirvana.(I think there was a grudge group by this name . I wonder if they knew what it meant.) Back to the state of nothingness which by the way is the highest state. There are different levels of transcending but the uttermost is the state of nothingness. Not trying to be funny but where do you go from nothingness. Who wants to be nothingness bound. I asked my professor what was the purpose he could not explain. So, maybe you can . Why would I want to be in a state of nothingness. Just transcend out of my body with no where to go but nothingness. Go0 figure. If is you then explain. You know this is what darkness wants you to be in a state of nothingness,to do its thing and plan. Now I ask you again where is this leading to eternal life, I guest to vanish? Read it for yourself. Many have went to this state and are walking around blank. This sounds insane.This also is a statue? an idol. You worship an idol. Does this talk back? Can you have a one on one personal relationship? Can this religion make you whole. Healing(I.m just saying) Is this working for you. Where is the love?


Lets examine the religion of reincarnation. This is the belief that you had a previous life. That you may have been someone else either male or female and you are coming back in another century. In this religion it is how good you are to others that will determine who you will be In the next life. So believe that you may be a fly,, an animal or anything that you have worked to be transformed into a previous lifetime before. They even will not kill a cow to live because it may be a relative. Even in Africa some religions believe that when you die you come back as another person..I was once told that the African was believed to be his grandfather. So he was revered by his kinsman. The reason he was believed to be his grandfather was because he was the first male to be born after grandfather died. So, therefore his grandfather soul returned in him. Imagine that. I want to remind you I am not ridiculing others. Just provoking to compare. Do you have a choice? You come back as another being this sounds like classicism and prejudice.
Where is the love?

Now lets talk about God and His Son Jesus. First of all God was always and will always be. He is the first and the last,the alpha and omega. He is even the center. If you don't believe in creation. Let me ask you where did the grass come from. The trees. The air you breathe. Even where did you and your parents come from. If you believe in evolution. Let me ask you if you derived from ape. Why then are there still apes. When apes have babies how do they look. When a seed is planted what comes up. When a flower is planted what comes up? If you plant an apple seed will a plum come up. If a dog have babies will they be cats or cats be dogs? You get the picture.


Then how is it possible that you came and evolved from an ape? They have been trying to make the ape and monkey talk for years. Scientist have tried to prove evolution, but still can not. Have they yet? They try to teach the ape and monkey through sign language? Is that the only language they can sign? Looks like they can't do that very well. Did you know that an animal listens to the pitch of your voice and follows your hand gestures? So, How is it then that you came from an ape.


Man is so much like God because He made us in his image. God talks and He says your thoughts are not even His thoughts.(Isaiah) He knew you before you were born out of your mothers womb? Then tell me how can you be reincarnated from pass life.(Jeremiah) Who made the sun,moon and stars .I ask you who made the earth and its planets. Seems like somebody did it. There is an ocean, who made it. The whole earth is full of His splendor? In the beginning was the word and God made it flesh.(John. I know that the birth of Jesus may have you confused but read it.? It is in the new testament. and talked about in the old testament. He is talked about from Genesis thru Revelation? He is also talked about now. He was made flesh. That means that Jesus was a baby and grew up. His works is all through the new testament and old testament.
I can talk to Him and have a relationship. He loves me always. He does not hate me. He hates some things I may do but not me. Now, this is love. Its all about love.



God can't lie or die. If he says it,then it will be. He spoke the world into existence. If He say that there is a five legged dog. Look because there will be a five legged dog. When He speaks it can not come back. Golden nugget""""be careful of what you speak out of your mouth. Image of God you are made. If He says it. It will come to pass. He told me to sit down and sup with Him and Hr with me. You must worship Him in spirit and in truth. Yes , this is so personal. Imagine He would have died for me if I was the only human.(loving this) He is so crazy about me. I am the apple of His eye. What about you.? Do you have a relationship with Him? Yes, you need one. Salvation is the beginning. Jump right in. Get yours. There is room for all. Living for Jesus is not a religion, it is called a relationship. So, don't ask me if I am religious. I am not. I just love having a fellowship and relationship with Jesus and therefore I have one with the Father. The only way to a relationship with the Father is thru His Son Jesus. That is the pass word Jesus. Use that name Jesus , He will get you everything. Say it. and use that name. Jesus,Jesus. It is love that took Him to the cross.


. It is even stated that Jesus would carry the world on His shoulders. You can't work for this, you have to accept Him.Can't work or outwork for salvation to guarantee you eternal life or a spot in heaven. No, you have to (believe,confess and receive this) Remember God knows the heart of man. Where can you hide? No where. Jesus was born to die. Why? This is the only way to reconcile man to the father. We use to have to go to the priest and bring a certain amount of animals for an offering for out sins(wrong doing). The better way is Jesus. He is the lamb that was slaughtered for you and me. Wow He died,was buried and rose again? He lives. Ready to live in you. Tell me any other religion where they can testify that they lived and rose again. There is even evidence and facts to prove this. Jesus did have a birth record and a body. Many witness this fact. He will not kill you. (do or die) He will allow you to make the choice. So choose life. . There is an alternative to eternal life. Could it be called eternal damnation? Think about that. Is anything worth your separation from God? You better know there is not. He is available 24/7. That is love.

Read: Book of John (Such love) Book of Galations (will free you from religion)

Now, He sits at the right hand of our Father because God is our Father too, and Jesus is our elder brother. How did this happen? We were adopted. If you are adopted you get the same rights and privilege as a natural born child. You get the same provision and everything else. In fact you have the same covenant(contract and promise) and blessing as His son Jesus has. In fact you have the privilege in using Jesus name. That means it is not forgery to sign His check. He already paid for your healing,sound mind, prosperity and well being. The best is to join Him in eternity. Have the other religions invited you to join them in eternity or live like they do. Do they call you sons and daughters also.? Do they call you their prince? Do they? Then you should choose Jesus. His benefits are out of this world? Hope that you enjoyed this long (yes long comparison of religions? ) He loves you enough to define your choice of living separated from Him? Do you really want to? You have total freedom in Him, not frustration and fear. He will not oppress you either. He is not mad at you. He stands waiting for you. Ready to open the door, but you must ask. He is gentle. He changes not. There is no new plan. Jesus is the plan. A relationship with Him is the one and only Plan. Take the plan of salvation. Come on. Stop wasting time. The time is now. Tomorrow never comes. Why? Because tomorrow becomes yesterday.(Think about it) He is not scared of other religions. He is not even intimidated.

What are you planning to do with the rest of your life? There is no age limit. One restriction and that is to believe. It is not how you start but how you finish. Believe that Jesus was born, died and rose from the dead.

His yoke is easy and burden is light? So don't be fooled by any church or person to tell you "You got to work for your salvation? He loves you. He doesn't want you to worry about anything, He ask you to bring everthing to Him and leave it at His feet. Such love. (as someone once said and is still saying "Don't worry about it cat?) You have to dress like this? You can't wear this and that? If you take on the mind of Christ through the word , you will not want to wear certain things? What do you wear to work? Would you go to work naked? Would you go to work on drugs? Would you even sit any kind of way and through your legs on your work area? Would you come to work when it is closed? Got it. Keep in mind some jobs have a uniform and they tell you how to dress for your own safety ? So, read Gods word He will not condemn you but teach you. No one can be you but you. You are and original. Be the best you . Gods loves you and He made you the way you are. Just remember He loves you to much to let you stay that way. He rules those He loves. Love you. Choose Jesus...Live out loud. He even shall we say rocks!!!

How to deal with rejection?

Rejection is not a good thing. To be unwanted and unloved by another is a terrible thing, if you let it. Did you know that this is a spirit. The same spirit came over Saul,when rejected from being the king? It is hard going from love by all to be loved by few. This spirit opens the door to depression,low self-esteem ,guilt and shame. Don't allow this spirit to attach itself to you. Avoid this feeling at all cost. It is not worth your energy.(Saul the first King of Israel that the people had to have located in old testament was rejected by God. Why was he rejected? He was rejected because he wanted to please the people more than God. Disobedience will get you no where.) They even begged the Lord for this king. They were the only nation without a king. Why? God was their king. But they wanted to be like everyone else..they wanted a king to bow down to. Early time peer pressure. Regrets,Regrets

Yes, sometimes you are hit blind-sided ed by rejection. Can you image that Jesus was rejected by His own people the Jews. (don't get offended we are talking about rejection not a culture of people). Oh,how we may love someone so much,only to find out that they have other motives.

I don't think that people set out to destroy you,but they can. Some of the things that can set up for rejections are broken relationships with others. I have learned that we put people or a person before God. And if we really want to be trueful about the matter God wants to be first. Yet, He allows us to go on and find other loves and lovers, not even thinking of Him.

You are exceptional,if this has not happened to you. It could be a rejection by your parents or parent. Putting others before,He tells you up front that He is a jealous God)Yes ,jealous. It sometimes can be drugs (which we know that can destroy the whole man),husbands (don't ever put them before God),children(we can become obsessed with them day and night)(the little darlings),and even jobs(workaholic). Where does this usually lead to? It leads us to loved the creation not the creator.

When rejection comes we are so hurt? Rejection even comes when nobody hears you,this can make you feel so unimportant. Have you ever had someone to tell or show you that they are completely moving on. What does it feel like? The feel is that of ultimate betrayal. You can take to loneliness, crying and hurt.(to be exact it feels like someone took a knife and stuck it in your heart and twisted it. How you feel that knife and it keeps twisting. What do you do? The best relief is finding out who you are in Christ. You are more than a conquer. You are an over comer. You are the head and not the tail. You chose life and not death. We take our power back and give it to Jesus and not rejection. We learn that He loves us. And will never leave or forsake us. We find out that He is not shame of us. We also learn that we are survivors and greater is He that is us than He that is in the world.

Are you feeling rejected? Where does depression,guilt and shame come from. It comes from not knowing who God made you to be. It comes from knowing God and His will for your life. Generally,some think that God is just waiting to punish you for your wrong. It is believe that He stands with a big stick ready to hit you in the head and destroy you. This is the biggest lie that has been told to us from childhood. Is it any wonder why people are afraid to come to God? Even some religions tell you that if you work hard God will love you. Some even believe if they give up their life and be a Martyn they will get rewards of houses and several virgins in the after life. Still other religions tell you that depending on what you do here will determine how you will come back in next life. What ever your religion of choice is: you have tried the rest,now go for the truth..bet you thought I was going to say best. God is not intimidated by other religions. He laughs at them.

You get the picture. It is amazing everybody wants something but never want to give anything. Hold it that statement brings on the true meaning of giving something: God gave His only begotten Son to die for our wrong doing or perception of being perfect, so that you could have the right to the tree of life, eternal life. He wants to give it to you now not later: abundant life. He said if yes,if you chose life over death everything is yours. What do you mean by everything? I mean sound mind(don't have to be crazy no more. you know how many crazy folk are out there. You don't have to walk around poor in spirit..depressed unloved; no more. You don't have to be poor no more. Am I talking about money? Well since you mentioned it yes broke,busted and disgusted no more. He will teach you how to earn it and spend it. Yes. Yes. Do you really need 5 pairs of the same shoes in different colors?(I am just saying ,laugh about it.)
I can't throw stones I have did this also.(taken from book of John)

You are so loved, Never rejected. Jesus was rejected as He was on the cross. How you say? Can you imagine the hurt and rejection He felt as His Father could not look at Him anymore because of the darkness that the world had(evilness). Jesus was separated from His Father, He had never been before? He cried out Why have you forsaken me?, Wow this is powerful,but necessary for us. Read Matthews the crucifixion of Jesus. He did it for you , you should know what it is and why. Sometimes you just need to know why anyone would do this for you. This is so personal for me. This is my personal Jesus for me only but you can make Him yours too. I am not a hater.

A lot of our experiences are necessary for us to find out who really loves us more that our parents. I am a parent and grandparent would never give up my miracles for anyone not even you. So, I advise you to get your own relationship going with Jesus, so you would never be left alone without Him.

If you by any chance have been rejected, run to the one that loves you, or run back to the one that loves you. He loves you more than you know. Just feeling the love of Jesus teach many things. He teaches you how to love others. This is the ultimate lesson to learn love. Once you feel that love and really believe that love you will never go back. Get in the word and seek out His love for you. Also you must be able and ready to forgive and let it go. No man has not given up so much that it has not been returned to him by the love experience of Jesus. Go for it.

Entrench yourself in Him. He is the vine you are the branch. Let Him sup with you. Never forget to seek out the purest love ever. Jesus is that purest form of love that you can get. And while you are getting, get understanding. . Read the book of John. It will do you good. Challenge you to read it. If you have go back and read it again) Read the books of Psalms and Proverbs.) Love you. Live out Loud

Take it all

I once heard a story of a rich man that had one son that he loves. This man loved his son so much that he gave him everything. The man even supported his son artistic skills(for which he had none). The rich man loved his son so much that he praised his art work and framed one of his ugly pictures.

The son was called to war . The father sobbed and sobbed because he loved his son so much and did not want him to go. The father knew that the son had to go so he gave him a big send off. The son got killed in the war. His father was greatly grieved, and never really got over it. When the rich man died , he left his son's painting to be auctioned.

The auction started. The auctioneer said who is going to bid on this painting. He knew it was an ugly paintings so he said "can I get five dollars." There was not one taker wantinng the ugly painting. The auctioneer had to lower the bid. "Can I get one dollar for this painting." A man raised his hand I will give you one dollar for it.

The auctioneer hit the gavel in his hand and said "sold." He then said "sold to the man for one dollar". Then he quickly said" son you get it al"l. The man received all the riches of the rich man. The man loved his son that much to give the buyer everything he possessed simply because he bought the painting. He loved His son that much to give everything away.

You may be wondering what does this mean. It means that God has only one Son. God loved His son so much that He gave Him up so that others could receive all the benefits. The rights to the tree of life. We are the benefactors of Jesus life insurance policy. (yes,Getting excited.) (Me too,Me too) What are the benefits you may say. First there is salvation and eternal life. He also gave you abundant life to live. There is also healing, health,sound mind and body,peace love and so on..check it out it is in the word. Guess what I made the decision to get the benefits. They are great. I don't have to worry about Him going out of business or downsizing. Once He says it ,done deal. What about you....

Forgiveness

Have you ever wondered what forgiveness really means? I know that you think you know what it means but really what is the technical meaning of forgiveness?Looking in any dictionary it means to give up resentment,pardon,relief from payment,wiping the slate clean. I know that you say this woman is crazy how can I. The human mind is made to remember things. I ask you what are you choosing to remember. Why are you placing so much importance to something.

The most important thing to you should be your body,soul, and mind. The most important thing in this life is to deal with it. You have to deal with the hurt and identify why you are hurting in order to heal. The first thing that happens when you go to a doctor is he ask you what is the problem. He tries to identify the problem. If you give the doctor false information , then he usually can't help you.

Some of us say what the hurt is, but never attempt to get the solution to not having this problem anymore. Sometimes it is a process other times it can be dealt with and put to rest. Now, I am coming to the most important part of forgiveness. Did you not know that some sickness,illness and diseases come from unforgiving.

Many are not willing to forgive. I must turn around and ask you "how long will you be a victim? You were made to be victorious and an over comer. First of all know that sometimes unless you deal with the problem and say it ,the problem will continue. Are you tired of the repeating turmoil. Jesus even tells you that you must forgive before you can continue to live abundantly. The bible has a model prayer "The Lords prayer" in the prayer He says forgive out trespasses as He forgives us. No,I am not telling you to stay in situation.

Sometimes you just can't keep seeing or being around a repeated person or thing that brings negativity and causes harm. We must not cause harm or allow others or things to harm us. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. I even go farther a mind is a terrible thing to waste and do nothing about it. I encourage you to deal with it and forgive or pardon others.

Jesus was sitting around talking to His disciples and one of them ask Him" Lord how many times do I forgive"? Jesus look at them and said you must forgive 70x70.(you get the point). That is a lot of forgiving. If you have to confront the person or thing then confront it. Tell them you have no power over me. I release you from what you did because I am free of you. I am not scared of you anymore. You meant to destroy me and my family but I will not give you that power. You may have had power over me but I take that back. I will not allow you to destroy me any more. You are a sad selfish person. Now you deal with it, I do not have to any more because I am free of you and all your mess. I moved on. If this is to hard for you then write a letter,therefore you are at least dealing with it. It is up to you if you want to mail the letter ,tear it up or whatever. In the name of Jesus I am forgiven and I am no longer wounded from this thing or it. Now, walk off and rejoice. Yes, I say walk off throw it up(if it helps throw your hands up as if to toss into air or space.

This will work. Try it. If necessary apply often until you are whole. God wants you whole. Press toward the mark of which you are called,forgetting those things that are behind. Step out of the mess. Forgiving helps you more tha t anything. So forgive and live your life. What are you waiting for. do it.

It amazing to me that people will not take free things. This is just what you are doing when you refuse to release this to Jesus. He is the greatest counselor. How many years will you go back to talk about the same thing to a paid counselor. Don't get me wrong I believe in counseling if necessary; but there is a great counselor. He told all to bring your burdens to me and leave them there. He also said come unto me all that are heavy burden and I will give you rest. WOW God will give you rest. He also said take my yoke upon you for my burdens are light. Now, I ask you if He asked you to why are you burden. In Christ Jesus it does not matter about the situation. There is so much hurt and damage given by others (can we be real:molestation,incest,rape,manipulation,cheating,disloyalty,divorce,and so on) How can you handle that. It is hard for us but Jesus can. In fact He already did this.

Here I go reaping this..God gave His only Son for you. He loves you that much. Jesus did all the hard work on the cross. He made it so easy for us just ask. It makes me wonder why someone can not accept a gift that is given to them. It is not true that if it is free it is not good. rubbish. Why work hard? Works can not get it for you. Jesus can. Child get rid of it. I am not slaying that you have to be friends or sit down and eat with them,

I love you and live out loud. Scriptures for forgiveness below: study them do them ,say them and live them,

God is love.love is God. Choose love

Let's dance.....Can we dance?

During my writings of music I indicated that we could dance because God loves dance. I was asked where did the bible say that David danced? Well, here is the answer: IISamuel:6 chapter.Exodus 15:20, Psalm 30:11,Psalm 150:4 and I Samuel 2:18. there was also a wedding feast that Jesus attended.( hope this will help.) *

*Just remember it is ok to dance before the Lord. Just make sure your dance has nothing to do with the dances that society does. Come on you know the kind that we may call dirty dancing. Just because it is popular in society does not mean that you need to do it. Let us keep things decent and in order.(don't play you know what decent is) lOVE YOU.

Get your praise on! say what..Get your praise on !

This is how to get your praise on through music. Gospel music can make you grove. It can make you dance!It can make you cry! Music is a connection of your inner soul to your spirit. Music comes from God. Did you know that music originated in heaven? Yes, heaven. God created music so He loves sound. His angels play and sing music throughout heaven. If you don't believe me it is recorded in the bible that the angels surround Him all day long. He sits high above on His throne and the angels cry HOLY HOLY HOLY HOLY all day long. Why are they crying HOLY Holy Holy. God is so awesome!

The angels see Him in His full glory and they watch a new facet or dimension of Him appear. They can't stand it. The awesomeness of God. God created the first heavenly choir and the most anointed angel was Lucifer. Because of Lucifer's' pride he was demoted and kick out of choir and heaven. At the speed of light he was kicked (kaput) out. Read it for yourself. Music was taken from talking about God to selfish desires. Now let's talk about music. Just had to give you a little course in where music originated. Now gospel music comes in different genres. It is according to the listeners preference on what he likes. This is the genre of country, pop, southern, rock-roll, rap, traditional, inspiration, hip-hop, folk, instrumental, contemporary, blue grass (you get the picture).

There is music for everyone. So don't go condemning others for what they like. I forgot to mention that music comes in all languages and cultures. Since we are talking about favorite music, I prefer contemporary. Gospel gives us hope. Why? I love the word of God(not that you don't) I find that scripture is sang in much of contemporary gospel music. I have heard it said that you can't tell who they are talking to in some music. If you read the word you would understand it.
Your spirit will agree to the music. You can just hear the Psalms, Isiah,and many others scriptures from the word. For example Nicole C. Mullen's sings I know my Redeemer lives." Read Job..I know my redeemer lives. Lets not go into Steven Curtis Chapman Live out Loud." This is telling you to let others see Jesus in you. The list of scripture in music goes on. We also have praise and worship music. What is it? This is music that takes you before the throne of God, kneel at His feet and declare He is worthy and Holy. (as the angels do all day long).

Worship music is personal. Yes,He is my personal Jesus. I tell you if you want to get His attention, worship Him. He loves it. Don't you love when you are told how beautiful you are.(if you don't then I need to pray for you right now.) Father, allow this person to know that they are wonderful and not a mistake. They need to know that they are fearfully and wonderfully made. That you created them to love themselves as you love them. Let them know that you made them to glorify You and tell others the good news. They don't have to be dead no more, they do not have to be depressed no more, they don't have to be broke, disgusted and busted no more.

Thank you Jesus. In your name Jesus AMEN. Back to the basic. Music should fill you from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet. It should inspire you to connect with Him. Music should connect you to Him. If when listening to gospel music you feel like dancing (go ahead ) He loves dance. He created that too.It is society that takes dance and make it negative. Don't act like you can't see the difference.(don't play) Remember when Moses was in the wilderness, Miriam his sister danced.

Let's not talk about David who danced before the Lord till his clothes fell off.(it is in the bible read). There are many celebrations and dances that went on (yes God knows how to throw a party) To think you thought you were the party planner. Child there ain't no party like God's party. In fact He plans a banquet for all of us. Are you answering and RSVP to your invitation. I have..(that is one party I will not miss) oh yea,back to music(don't blame a girl for loving to party) Music should set your mood: according to what you are listening too. Did you know music can bring on sadness or depression(funeral music, and nobody knows the trouble I seen) sorry if I stepped on toes. Yet, I am not sorry for I encourage you to live out loud. Put your praise on. Praise is giving Him the glory and thanks.

There are many great anointed singers. Music should reach you.I may not like the same song you love. (get the picture) Sometimes traditional music dries you out.(where is the joy) He came to give life and give it more abundantly. Believe me I never intend to forget those that prayed for me and prayed me through. I combine both. There is only one message but different messengers. I need you like you need me. I tell you I keep getting off music. I like rap gospel, if it glorifies God, and talk about the word. Listen to it sometimes. Jesus says speak the word and if rap speaks the word repeatedly, then that is a good thing.

When God is glorified and Lifted up ...you know the rest. If you don't like it, then try it, you will like it. I am so enjoying this (can't you tell) it fells like fire shut up in these bones (excuse me praise break). No matter what genre of gospel music you prefer just listen to it. Music will take you from off self-centeredness into Him. Top ten music coming later. I also will discuss how many think christian escape from their problems by using religion. ooh if you only knew what religion really means. Is it escapism? Remember, live out loud.You are loved.

movies

just got back from movie Fireproof with Kirk Cameroon 4 thumbs up..suggested movie for married and premarital couples. Yeah (2thumbs up required)Keep it real

Which way are you going? Think about it.

Have you ever been asked to do or attend something and the directions are wrong? What do you do with bad advice or mistakes? In today's society everyone have map quest or computers to tell them where to go. All you have to do is put in the information and the directions appear. There is also the knowledge that sometimes you may know a shorter cut to said destination. Sometimes you could be wrong or run into dead ends or detours while trying to get where you are going.

Well, this happened to me today. I did give wrong directions and absolutely delayed that person"s trip. How bad you feel when the guest or invitee does not come . It started me thinking what if you gave directions about Jesus and did not tell anyone how to ask or come to Him. Wrong directions could cause a detour in people"s life. Sometimes in life we have received bad directions or bad examples in our walk with Jesus.

There are many that believe Jesus is not the way to God. They feel that they are reincarnated, Hinduism, Buddhism, tans meditation, you get the picture. The problem is people sometimes never go to the word of God for the answer. If you study religion: people will always look for someone or thing to worship. Have you ever wondered why? God put something in everyone that is born that they must worship something. The information for the right directions have always existed. It is up to us to choose.. What or who will you choose.? Which direction are you going to go?

We look and become disillusioned by others. Here is a question for you "What does Jesus say about it?There are many that are looking for the answer in the wrong place or direction. Did you know that Jesus is our perfect example? How often do we treat life like we are walking aimlessly . Sometimes the dumb follow the dumb, and fall in same ditch.(don't get mad at the truth). Put your hand over your heart and say "I will not get mad."smile How then can we be so proud and not ask or throw ourselves on the mercy seat of God. The point is we need to ask what the will of God is for our lives.We all may not like the answer but it is His will he is God and we are not.(hint)

Guess what? I have made a decision to live well and die empty. That means that I will fully follow the plans that God has for me..You may have a different path but it still must be God's plans. Guess what, He knows the plans that He has for you and it is not to harm you, it is for you to have a sound mind, healthy body and soul, live in prosperity. Now since I said that ..Did you know that prosperity is more than money? Health is very important and so is a healthy mind. Don't be afraid..stop ..and turn around..if necessary ask for help. We have to capture our imagination when we are following the wrong directions or thoughts.

So. I am provoking you to find our His will for your life. He has one just for you. Inquire within the word of God, if you have then do it. Please remember that we all are very different but,one truth and that is Jesus is the savior that gave up His life for you. I am very humorous and love to laugh, you may not.(so sad) I love this saying... Just do it..Live out Loud. My journey may not be the same I have children you may not. I love contemporary gospel you may not. Yes. I love Donnie McClurkin,Michael W. Smith and Israel Houghton worship music. Right now for me CeCe Winans is sanging it.(she takes you to the throne) Yes.

So live and walk out your destiny, not someone else. We were never called to police anybody, the Holy Spirit does that.(That is His job not mine or yours).)If is a tough job..child I can't be worried). I love to sleep. Let us all say YEAH. Any questions? Love you

Words of Wisdom

When you want something you never had,You have got to do something you never did. You will never change what you believe. Until your belief system cannot produce something you want.



what you repeatly hear, you will eventually believe. mike murdock

What do you do when you have done all you can and still it is never enough? (Saying by Donnie)

What do you do when you get bad reports? What do you do when things keep happening? The car broke down. You lost your job. You are sick. Your kids are acting up. Baby needs a new pair of shoes. Marriage problems. Financial problems. No job. Job laying off. Trouble at home,on the job and at school. Your friends are turning against you. You are being misunderstood. Haters. Haters /Haters. Fear of the unknown shows up. Loneliness comes. Depression. Anxiety, Worry worry.Does any of this sound familiar?

Your money is tight but not right. Hair is falling out. (Don't panic. There is a quote that says there is nothing to fear but fear itself.) In my world fear is considered false evidence that appears real. I know that you have heard that the sun will come out tomorrow and believe me it will. I know that you can't sleep or eat. Maybe you are running to food. There is no peace in your life.

Well, if you have been following this log the answer is Jesus. Go back if necessary to see how you can know this Jesus. It is simple just ask Him. I also said that the bible gets 2 thumbs up. Why? It has the solution to our problem. There is nothing new under the sun. We watch the news and listen to it hearing all the calamity. Well, In case you did not know they sale more newspapers off of negativity. Had you notice that they never tell you any good news.

Are you listening to negative reports all day. I hate to say this but recessions are made to create fear. People will start doing silly things. Did you know that many will even take their life. This is so selfish because they hurt people that love them. If they could only hang on till tomorrow. When tomorrow comes get up and do something you never did before. Take a chance on life. If you keep doing the same old, same old, how can you expect a different result. Here is the key to problems the word of God. Go to the word and study whatever situation you are in. Faith steps in. What is faith. Faith is believing what God say.

You believe in what a manufacturer tells you about their product don't you. So what is the problem about believing God. Have you really committed to do it. Try it you will love it. One thing about God is He neither lies to you are will He die. He is the same yesterday as He is today. Read about it.. Now I invite you to begin in Genesis and see how God gets things done. In the beginning the world was without form and darkness was. He spoke "let there be light and it was so." Notice that Gods speaks things into existence. God made us in His image He spoke so therefore you must speak. Just what are you saying. ( More later I am getting excited). If there is illness He said by "His stripes you are healed."

If fear enters He said I have not given you the spirit of fear. He also said that love cast our fear. How is your love walk? Don't let this be a problem. Now I must say that you can love someone but not like their personality or what they are doing? Come on don't even try to get uptight with that. I don't have to agree with everyone. Remember I told you that I have a view point and not ashamed to say it. So do you. Let's not get it twisted I say what the bible say.

If you need financial relief go to the word and read on finance. Don't act like money should not be in the word. Money or something of value has always be used. You have to have it don't you. Just don't do illegal things to get it. (You better work) Adam had to work in the garden, so do you. You may be thinking I am still messing up "How can I believe and ask God for any thing? I want you to know that when you repent and ask God for forgiveness, He does just that and wipes it off,and remembers it no more.

Now, don't keep doing the same old thing and act stupid. If you can't stop ask Him for help with that too? It is your choice to obey His word, He will not make you. Then you may have the nerve to say I am not worthy. He believed you were worth it when He allowed His only son Jesus to die for you. To Him you are worth it, be happy about His love for you. He had you on His mind. He made you in good standing when you ask Him to be your Lord and has forgiven and forgot your past. So, child just ask and say what He says about the problem.

You may start doubting and thinking something else, say no I am not going to think that. I will think what He thinks. Now, I have already told or suggested for you to read the word and find out what He says. The bible is His will and promises to you, Now don't be silly and ask a mack truck to hit somebody. Know that is not His will. It is yours. Another thought don't be asking for someone Else's husband and they are already married.(run to the light quick) Just always remember you are loved. Any questions?

Why Do Things Happen?

why do bad things happen to good people? Have you ever wondered about this question. If you have not then you are exceptional. You could be one in a million. I know I have asked this question over over and over.

Doing my time of crisis in watching and hearing love ones die. It is said that time heals all wounds, but it to me doesn't delete that I can.t physically touch and talk to them. Those that were believers that died we know where they are. Absent from the body in the presence of our Lord. Why do things happen?

I know for sure that God loves us and that he neither kills or destroy. Because we live in a fallen world that is far from perfect things happen. Some happen for no reason and others by choice. Yet, I do know that it is how we handle the storm that gets us over. Sometimes we have to make new plans , other times we have to change.

Sometimes we are warned but do nothing. But believe this ,it is not how you start it is how you finish. We that know and believe the word of God know that He can turn negative things over for your good. We walk out our destiny knowing and trusting that God is in control. Many think that you have to like what is happening or agree. This is not so because how is it that I am to love my enemy.(Hate it) I do this because it is a commandment not a suggestion..

As you continue to live in the word of God it is interesting,encouraging, funny at times, sad, ridiculous and many other things. It is an interesting journey as to where you are and to where you are going. IF YOU REALLY WANT ANSWERS AND SOLUTION THEN THE WORD OF GOD IS FOR YOU. Many times we can help ourselves :pollution answer is stop polluting. I am sometimes very guilty of throwing trash. Sometimes I feel so guilty I go back and pick it up. Yes me sometimes I do stupid things. Now I ask you how silly is that. . See I told you there was work to do on me. How about you? Don't even act or read in judgement of me. Do not cause any harm.

Just remember things happen to everyone. You are not alone the bible says it rains on the just as well as the unjust. I suppose that is why it is called life. There are lessons to be learned from experience. We are all connected on many levels, Nobody is immune from stuff happening. What are you going to do when life start hitting you? Know that you are loved and are a part of His plan. So live outloud.
