1. Thou Shalt Admit That God Put You in Your family.
There are no accidents in God. God can help you adjust to the idea of a step-brother or step-sister. If God had wanted you to be a part of another family, you would have been part.
2. Thou Shalt Admit That God Is Smarter Than You.
Life would sure be sweeter if you cooperated with God's way of doing things.God often use siblings to expose junk in your own life. Your reactions to their comments and actions reveals a lot.
3. Thou Shalt Realize That The World Does Not Revolve Around You.
Newsflash!!!There are other people that live and grew up in the same house. Clean up your own mess. Turn the TV down when others are asleep. Your family's destiny is not to make you perfect or king or queen. Yes, you are a part of the family..
but just a part.
4. Thou Shalt Respect Others Privacy and Possessions.
Try a little harder to return all things that you borrowed quickly. And try to ask before you take it nest time.OK Privacy is sacred to siblings. Stay out of their room and stuff just because they asked.
5. Thou Shalt Not Use Words That Wound.
Nothing stabs a siblings friendship like put downs , and cruel comments. Think about this please do not cause harm. Parents should have zero tolerance for this..On the other hands do not get your feelings hurt so easily. Do not berate siblings in front of others.(Stop) Siblings need to lighten up or toughen up.
6. Thou Shalt Be Committed and Glad For Their Success.
Your siblings have secret dreams for their life.Do you care? They need people to believe in them especially family. Do not tell them what they did wrong. Tell them what they did right and what you really like about them. Your opinion will always tower over everyone else, just because you are family.
7. Thou Shalt Treat Them Like Company.
Well, not exactly. But, siblings can get way too familiar with each other. When company walks into your house you say "hi". You do not act like they slept with you all night. When you are making sandwich you offer to make them one ,too. It is kind kindness,
8. Thou Shalt Celebrate Your Siblings Talent.
You were born an original, so don't try to be a copy. Try not to compete with each other. There is room in God's family(yours also) for everyone to be good at something. Your need to be the first and the best, should not be at the expense of others.
9. Thou Shalt Verbalize Your Admiration.
This takes practice but say it: " I am glad you are my sister or brother." "Your backstroke looks great." You sure know how to work with clothing, you have such good taste." L really admire you.: "Today is the big day..go for it." "You always say the right thing to make be OK." and yes, even I love and adore you."
10. Thou Shalt Honor God by Loving Your Siblings.
Here's the bottom line. Do you love God? Make it work at home or with your family. You will discover in time your brother or sister might just become your best friend.
CELEBRATE SIBLINGS!!!!!!!! A Celebration of who God made you and your siblings.

Kicking down religious and sacred cows!
There is a diference between religious traditions and what the word of God says. Many hold tight to things about religion that are traditions. First of all let me explain what religion is: the repeat of things that are valued in a family,culture or duty. I can wash my car religiously. People do not relize that religion is a form of rituals. There is a great difference between religion and chistianity. Christianity is living the life of Jesus, Christ dominion living is the way all that love Jesus should live. Many think that Christ is Jesus last name. Let me correct you and tell you the truth that Jesus of Nazerene is His name. During that time period and culture still today used: a person is given a name and called the place they were boren. Jesus was born in Nazenrene. So your name would be Thea from Texas.(get the picture) Christ is also not His last name. Christ means anointing, the powere to ease through, or slip through. Thsi is why He is called the Christ: He is known as Jesus the anointed one.
When we do not know we can continue incorrectly,let your eyes be opened through the word of God. Study it..ask for the inspiration to understand it.
This will in some ways take you out of bundage and free you to serve Jesus as you were designed to serve Him. Know that His ways are easy.
1. Soem way that you must work and work hard to receive salvation..untrue..according to Romans 10:9-8 all that is required is to ask and speak out of your heart that He is Lord of your life..Repent : turn from doing things your way. Admit: admit that you are a sinner (for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.(Romans 3:23) You must open your mouth and ask...No silent prayer here (unscriptual)
2. Many believe that God is mad and them and they have went to far. Know that John 2:16 states that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son for you
3, You may feel you are not worth it or others may tell you that you sinned to much. John 3:17 God did not send His Son to condemn the world but that you may have salvation, the right to the tree of life
4. God does not save anymore. false Ephesiands 6:8-9 states that For it by grace you have been saved by faith,and this is not of yourself but the gift of God,not by works,unless you can boast
5. Money is the root of all evil..the scipture states the love of money is the root of evil (in other words what will you do to get it:steal,borrow and not pay back,sell drugs,rob, give your body away for money,,hust what is your limit. 1Timothy 6:10
6. Rich men can not go to heaven..has the money got your heart.(bailout executives)..You can have money but have money with a mission..What will you do with it.**money enlarges the character of a person(for example if you are foolish, then you are just a fool with money..if a crack you, you will just have more money to buy larger quantity of crack and for friends too, if you are a wine o ,you will buy expensive wine for you and your gang Matthew 19:24-26
7. If you wear pants then you are going to hell. God looks at the heart of man. You can have on a long skirt and your heart may be dark and corrupted..
8. Women should be quiet in church and not speak. If you study the scripture history you will find that men and women sat in different areas. The women would have the children and many times they were yelling to the other side talking to their husband and the men. ICorinthians 14:34,Galations 3:26-29
10. Women have no place in ministry. You should tell Deborah, Mary Magdelene, Aquila and others that they should not have any part in the ministry. Did you know that there are many types of ministry.(all are not in the pulpit) What is your calling?
Judges 4-5.Acts 9:36
11. The Lord supper should only be taken in church. ##Now with this one you must be a believer do not play.** The scriptual says as often as you think of Him do this in remembrance. This will protect your family and it is to agree with what God alreday says.I Corinthians 11:17-34
12. Spare the rod spoil the child>>We are not talking about all this child abuse. Many times it is necessary to tell what the guidelines for your home is..The problem is parents do not want to be an example. For example why is your child violent: you allow them to play violent games and watch violent TV, lets not forget the music you allow your children to listen to. I once heard a 2 years old talking about your baby's daddy.(surreal) Proverbs 15-14
13. That you should let your husband do you any kind of way and take it. The bible tells the husband to love their wife. Could it be that a spouse really do not know how to love.This can also apply to women ,,Be a Proverbs 31 woman in attitude and work. Ephesians 5:25
14. The belief that God is controlling all things. He said when you ask you shall receive. God is not in control of the worlds evilness, they are being lead by twisted thinking. I know that God did not tell anyone to murder or commit adultery..It is because of the evilness in our hearts. God has to have permission to be in control of your life. Have you gave him permission. If not tell Him to be Lord over my life.Many disobey Gods word and then want Him to be a genie in a bottle.Chronicles (if my people who are called...)
15. God gave you the sickness to teach a lesson. This is ludicrous thinking why would God have to kill you or put sickness on you to teach a lesson. We know that sickness and disease come from different factors(hereditary,the way we eat and how we treat our body. We must also mention accidents..John 10:10-11
16, God will make you do things. He will never make you do anything. He wants and commands you to obey His word. When we refuse to obey His way of doing things then we allow negative things to happen in our life.
17. God will tell you what to think. This is contrary to the way God does things He tells us to study ourselves(2Timothy 2:15) Yes you can hear the word but how do you know it is the truth if you do not read it yourself. The bible is unlike the news stories that you hear. The word will support itself..look up the situation.
18. God does not want you to go to the doctor. Tell me why was Luke a doctor. It is good to go to the doctor. The word stated that my people perish for the lack of knowledge. If you do not know then you do not know what to do. Even with the doctors report ,look up healing scripture and apply them and we must change our habits of eating. Eat well.(the woman with the issue of blood in gospels Mark and dr Luke
19.. The speaking in tongues is not for today. God says He does not change. Have you ever seen the devil give you something good and that glorifies God. I can tell you that I tried to believe that a time in my life and did not receive anything good. I found out that God's benefits were the best. He never gives up on me and hurts me. Acts 3:3-8 God is the same yesterday and today
20. Have you ever heard that the old testament is not needed today and Jesus is not in there. Let me tell you that before you know where you are going, history is beneficial. The old testament is the history of man. Genesis is spoken of from Genesis to Revelation. In the old testament it tells of his coming, the new testament tells that He is here. You don't have to use rituals anymore. Jesus conquered the grave. He even told you how to get to the Father. He said use my name.(If someone gives you a credit card and tells you to buy what ever you want and sign their name) They are giving you the authority and permission to be entitled to whatever you want to buy. This is wonderful because Jesus told me to use His name and what ever I ask according to His will that I can believe and receive when I pray. You can not get any better than that.Isaiah 55,Micah 5:1-2 Daniel 9:24-26
21. Jesus is poor. Many teach and preach that Jesus was poor and had nowhere to live. If He was poor why did He have a treasury? and He always sent His disciples to make arrangements in next town.He even invited others to come see where He lived. When He was crucified they cast lots for His expensive clothing. Judas was the treasurer.
22. Holiness is a dress code. People it is a lifestyle.(The bible says be ye holy,for I am holy) does this sound like clothing..
Now if you disagree with me on any of the subject mention then take to the scripture and disagree with God. I did not invent these questions or answers. I have to live out loud and love you. Hit me up on questions to the left. These are a few religious things to forget. Sometimes you have to start thinking like Him to be free. He always tell us that His thoughts are not ours. We are so out of line sometimes. Just get in line with Gods word
**It is amazing the people that ask can we smoke or is it a sin? I show you better than I can say to you? Look on the side of the box of cigarettes the Surgeon general warms you of the harm that smoking will do to you. Now remember you trust man more that God. He is admitting that something is in those smoking pieces that cause cancer. Not only smoking but stop consuming things that are not good for your body. It is not important to believe me, the most important decision you will make is to believe God. He is God and I nor you are not. He is not intimidated by your not liking what the bible says. It stands for itself.
When we do not know we can continue incorrectly,let your eyes be opened through the word of God. Study it..ask for the inspiration to understand it.

Too legit to quit?
Has anyone seen the movie Forest Grump? The movie has one line that everyone remembers: life is like a box of chocolate you never know what you will get until you open the box up? You have to eat the first one.
Is this a true statement or could it be a statement that is misleading? It is all according to your perception. If you think that you never know about life then you could be right. On the other hand if you believe that life can be changed you are also correct. The question is what do you chose? Life and death is in the power of the tongue, this is according to the word of God. If you have read previous posting then you should know that you have what you say. The question is will you say the correct thing to change your situation? Do you give? or are you greedy? Start being a giver. What you give to others will be given back to you.(principle of the word)
We are back to choices. Are you so stuck in the life that you have lived to make a change? Can or will you make the necessary change to live the life that God has for you? Know that you will still have circumstances and situations ,that is called life. The word of God will give you a way out, in other words how to handle life. Have you noticed that being a christian and loving Jesus does not prevent life? Have you even thought about throwing in the towel because you do not see any results happening in your life because you have chosen God's way of doing things? or Have you come to a place in your life that quitting is not an option? We must stay the course.
Let's examine what could be happening in your life. You are looking at the news and all you see is recession or talk of recession. Our president is talking like sometimes there is no hope. Jobs are downsizing, lay-offs,people losing homes,banks closing, food is high, there is no place safe. All these things that I mentioned are going on and still at home or the house there is calamity. Baby needs a new pair of shoes, telephone disconnect, light bill and gas bill due, rent and mortgage bill is way over due.(just in case you have heard this before it really is from many songs that we sing) Jesus is the answer. OK we know the answer but He has done His part, what will you do. That is the million dollar question what will you do? Do you know what to do?
I tell you what you and I will do. We will stand on the word of God. He has said in his word that success comes from Him. We have our part to play in the living of life. What is it you may say? First of all get the bible and look up your situation. Get the answer into your heart and mind. Say what He says" He shall supply all your needs according to His riches in Heaven. Did you know that the spiritual world is parallel to the natural world.
It is your job to know how to manifest the spiritual things into the natural world.(you don't understand this do you, that is where reading the word comes in...Ask God for wisdom and with that get understanding.(what is impossible for you is very possible with God..say what He says) Check it out. You may have to grow to know this.
Since you have your health, then get a job and manage your funds. If you can not find a job then look within you to find out what you have learned and create your own job. Believe me we all have something that is hidden deep in us to survive. This is the time when creative ideas can be of value to you. Get in your mind that nothing will stop you and you will not quit until He quits. I have never read or seen when or where God gave up on us. We may give up on Him, but He does not throw us away.
Don't quit. Hold fast to the answer, the word of God. Go after it, if you have something to offer nobody can tell you no. Change your personality, you can do this. What are you bringing to the table, your past. Your past failures are not important. The failures are life lessons to learn from. If you talk to much, stop talking nonsense. Let your voice say what God says, talk the word.. If you steal, stop stealing. Steal no more. Look ahead your past is over. Take the new start.
Don't get fearful or despondent ,confront situation through Gods word. It is not about how you feel.but how you handle the situation and move forward. Say what he says. It will come to past, don't stop. In fact tell yourself that God words are to legit to quit saying. Hold fast. Make adjustments to your attitude and the way you see things. Walk in love not complaining about how life treats you.
You are in it to win it ...I am..How about you..Can you still do what Gods says and watch the finish product. You can not plant a seed and it grow over night. That seed has to develop roots, then greenery, then what do you see. There is a process in planting a seed. If there is a process in seed growth, then life is a process. You do not really know why a person has no job, and are in the situation they are in. Some people have big mouths and will not follow the bosses job description.
So, never assume that you know why things are happening. So are you ready to do your part. We all have a part to do. Read the word of God. Pray. Say what He says about situation. Now walk it out in life. Yes, it can be hard but nothing is easy. If life was so easy, you would not know how to be thankful and appreciative. Change you, we have to continually change or make changes.
Are you to legit to quit? Don't let life beat you, beat it. Live the best life ever. If you have not accepted Jesus then do that. If you have accepted Jesus, then do it His way by faith (word of God), You may say I do not believe the bible. The reason you give is that men wrote it. Ha Well, man is writing the newspaper and telling the news and you believe that. We would rather believe the bible.
Who's report will you believe? Get over being silly about what to believe. You believe the doctors report and he has read the work and experiences of other men countless research reports on how the body operates. The bible tells you how God operates. He even knows how the body works. God uses man to get His business done. He has already sent His Son Jesus to give you the victory. What else do you need? What are you waiting for? Yes, this is very blunt but true. I have told you that you may be shocked by my in your face approach at times. (get over it already)
Don't get mad. I want you to think about it. Time out for all the rubbish that you have said and heard. (run to the light) Remember love God and yourself. I love you and live out loud.I encourage you to do not quit. Encourage yourself. Look in the mirror and tell yourself that nothing will not happen that you and God can not handle.

We pray,You pray ,I pray.......
When the whole world seems to get you down, why not pray. You say you want something different, why not pray. You say we got a new president, why not pray. You say you are tired of the same old same old, why not pray. You say you are tired of living the way you do, why not pray. You say that nothing seems to work for you, why not pray. I pray, You pray and We pray, this will make all the difference in the world. You may say I pray but nothing seems to help: what are you saying when you pray. When you pray something should happen. There are many reasons why things may not be working in pray. Some of reasons why the results seem not to work is: motives, selfishness, hate, wrong prayer, bitterness, unforgiving, and negativity ,unbelief, maybe even doubt.,unconfessed sin.. Do you pray and then return to talk about the problem negating what you prayed-what are you saying. Are you saying what Gods says about the situation? When you finish prayer do you start talking doubt or do you talk faith filled words. Kingdom conversations confirm what God says in the word. Many people may not know how to pray. I will tell you to talk to God from your heart and be honest with Him. Why would we lie to God, that is a no brainer. You need to admit,quit it and move on.
What is prayer: it is communication between the believer and God. Talking to God. Having a conversation with God. Responding to God and getting a respond back. Talk and speaking to God and agreeing with His will. Not your will. Are you going to tell God how to run His business.Not
There are six types of prayers: be specific not general
1. Prayer of Agreement
2. Prayer of Faith Petition
3. Prayer of intercession (praying for others) and supplication
4. Prayer of praise and worship (thanking Him for His awesomeness)
5. Prayer of consecration and dedication
6. Prayer of Thanksgiving (how you are thankful for what Gods has done and blessed)
Having a successful prayer life takes consistency. First of all start prayer with praise and worship telling God how good and awesome He is, worthy,wonderful, ,,,)Now just remember that God knows you..so be real ..this does not go by how you feel. It is not about you. Its about Him. Secondly, allow Him to respond to you. Now comes the accountability part, your responsibility to acknowledge your sin and missing of the mark. Romans has already told you that we all have sinned and come short of the mark. If we say we have not sinned then we are a liar. (Romans )
Why not tell Him because He already knows. It is not as if you can hide anything,,be honest. Scripture reading and awareness mentally. Now intercede and pray for others , give Him your petition(needs and desires,problems. Don't whine tell Him about the problem.. Pray in the name of Jesus (use His name it is above all names) Jesus tells us to use His name because He is at the right hand of the Father agreeing with you. Remember He has also prayed for you.
Give Him thanks for the victory. You may sing worship, praise Him. Rejoice,Again I say Rejoice. Phillipians 4:4-7
Pray the word for every situation. Look it up by searching the scripture and meditating on it.
Pray in the Spirit.(tongues and spirit and truth) Continue with thanksgiving..
Remember your prayer must be in line with Gods word, and spoken out with mouth. Believe what you speak.
Now that you have prayed we want our prayers to be answered: Know that God wants to answer our prayers. He really love and cares about you. Make sure that you find what you want in the word of God. ex .healing,deliverance,love, get rid of fear,doublt etc. What does the word say. Ask in the name of Jesus and believe you receive it. Control your thought life to be align with your belief(His word. )Develop a faith confession in agreement in what you believe you are receiving. Avoid arguing or listening to others that do not agree with what you believe.(Don't listen to doubters or people that have a story where they know someone that it did not work for) You really don't know their belief system or level of faith. Think and see yourself with what you believe. Think constantly of how good God is (thanksgiving) Make a plan for what you believe. Keep hold to your faith. As always you should live out loud and love yourself and others. God loves you. He is crazy about you. He is always thinking of you. He has you on His mind, so have Him on your mind.
God loves you. He wants you whole,body,mind, and spirit. The will of God is in effect for your life through His word. Love you..Live out Loud

Having a successful prayer life takes consistency. First of all start prayer with praise and worship telling God how good and awesome He is, worthy,wonderful, ,,,)Now just remember that God knows you..so be real ..this does not go by how you feel. It is not about you. Its about Him. Secondly, allow Him to respond to you. Now comes the accountability part, your responsibility to acknowledge your sin and missing of the mark. Romans has already told you that we all have sinned and come short of the mark. If we say we have not sinned then we are a liar. (Romans )
Why not tell Him because He already knows. It is not as if you can hide anything,,be honest. Scripture reading and awareness mentally. Now intercede and pray for others , give Him your petition(needs and desires,problems. Don't whine tell Him about the problem.. Pray in the name of Jesus (use His name it is above all names) Jesus tells us to use His name because He is at the right hand of the Father agreeing with you. Remember He has also prayed for you.
Give Him thanks for the victory. You may sing worship, praise Him. Rejoice,Again I say Rejoice. Phillipians 4:4-7
Pray the word for every situation. Look it up by searching the scripture and meditating on it.
Pray in the Spirit.(tongues and spirit and truth) Continue with thanksgiving..
Remember your prayer must be in line with Gods word, and spoken out with mouth. Believe what you speak.
Now that you have prayed we want our prayers to be answered: Know that God wants to answer our prayers. He really love and cares about you. Make sure that you find what you want in the word of God. ex .healing,deliverance,love, get rid of fear,doublt etc. What does the word say. Ask in the name of Jesus and believe you receive it. Control your thought life to be align with your belief(His word. )Develop a faith confession in agreement in what you believe you are receiving. Avoid arguing or listening to others that do not agree with what you believe.(Don't listen to doubters or people that have a story where they know someone that it did not work for) You really don't know their belief system or level of faith. Think and see yourself with what you believe. Think constantly of how good God is (thanksgiving) Make a plan for what you believe. Keep hold to your faith. As always you should live out loud and love yourself and others. God loves you. He is crazy about you. He is always thinking of you. He has you on His mind, so have Him on your mind.
God loves you. He wants you whole,body,mind, and spirit. The will of God is in effect for your life through His word. Love you..Live out Loud

What is man....
Now then after your decision to make God your Father and Jesus the Lord of your life.: where do you go from there. The most important factor to know is , there is more to you that meets the eye. What about you? Everyone should know that they are made with different component. No I am not talking about the configuration or personal features of you. There is more to you being you. This is a very simple lesson in who you are. This will hopeful help you to become the best you that you can be. I know you think that you are all that, but there is more to learn,as you grow to maturity. The spirit and soul lives in the body.
First of all let me tell you that you have three major components. You have a body, soul and spirit. Each of the three parts are needed to fully be alive. I will give you an example: a car can not run without an engine,transmission and has to have a body. This is very similar to how you operate daily, You can not be alive without a body, soul and spirit. Each component is needed for man to survive.These things make you a living man on earth. (unless you are extraterrestial)That could be a whole other fictional story .(Genesis 1)
The body and its function. It is the house that holds the spirit and soul. You need a body to live here. The body is made of dirt and was created to go back to dirt. Look at your body it has a flesh that holds tissue and water.(biology thing) The body could be a problem because it wants to do things its way not God's way. There is a fight between the flesh and the spirit constantly.. The body most learn to be controlled. When a baby learns to walk he needs to learn to control the body . If the body is not controlled, it will be all over the place. This body is at enmity with God. We must according to scripture bring our bodies under subjection to obey the word of God. We do have a helper The Holy Spirit. You should know that your body is as the bible states a temple.(You would not pollut a temple would you)So,take care of your body.1Thessolonia5:23
The body function has five areas to operate:smell,taste,hear,touch and sight. Beware of what you see naturally it is not what God sees. He sees your end to the beginning. Victory....... Change can take place..We can grow. It would be so sad not to grow and never mature. We often see how people grow while listening or watching them.
Jesus was born to bring salvation to man. , He was to be crucified for us to have a relationship with God. He reconcile us to God again.. He is our example. We must learn to control the body and not let it do its thing, We can actually call this the flesh man. If you noticed it must be important because satan constantly attacks. If the body is sick we concentrate on it rather than focus on the word. Sometimes we actually let the body control us. (Romans7:5,7:18,8:3,8:8)Ephesians6:12). This is how you find out what the body is capable of: believe me it will turn on you if you don't speak to the body.
The second part of man is the soul (soul man). The soul has five functions: mind,will,imagination,intellect and emotion. The evil one is constantly trying to do things to make you lose this important factor. Just look at the functions of the soul and can"t you see why. The mind is what keeps us emotionally unbalanced and sick if allowed. God wants you well in your mind. This is the part of man where every thought comes from, rather it be negative,positive or Gods thoughts. The soul has to be trained and renewed constantly. This is why we must read the word,study it and meditate on it. This is where you change all behaviors and know what God's will is for your life.(Joshua 1 tells us to meditate on the word day and night) What does meditate mean: to think about it, recall, say it and believe it. If someone died and left you in their will, wouldn't you want to know what it is. Read the word. That is why it is called the last testament, or last will.
We must learn to cast down thoughts that are not Gods. How do you know God's thoughts: the word of God. Bible. We must train ourselves to think like God. Say what He says. If He say that you are no longer a victim..Then you are not a victim. The word tells you who you are. We must agree with what Gods says not people. Remember it is not how you start but consistency that counts. I like to say just do it. (I want to be like Jesus not mike) Any questions,if so ask me.
The third part of man is the spirit. Yes you are a spirit man. Once you become and accept Jesus the spirit man comes alive. Jesus is therefore residing in you. You have to learn to feed the spirit man what it needs. It needs spiritual food, the word of God. This is important because He needs to grow. It is then your job to feed the spirit.
What are the functions of the spirit man: prayer ,reverence(respect),praise and worship ,hope and live by faith. The spirit man will become sluggish or lazy when not feed properly. You will fill the spirit man urging you to the things that are of God . You will also be reminded of the things that are not Gods will for your life: listen. You are no longer the same. When the spirit man comes along , you are a new fellow..This is where all your past is gone. God has forgotten your pass and blotted it out, remembering it no more. God then places a sign there that says "no fishing". If He does no fishing for your past then neither should you.
Yes, people will see you or hear you and say that is the same person that use to do that and that. This does not even matter because God has told you that all your past is gone, and He is giving you a major make-over and overhaul. Now I ask you who can judge. No one can because they are not God. God is running things and they are not. Now you are an entirely new person. I say like Paul in the New Testament, who are you talking about I have harmed no man. book of Acts,Colossians,Romans,Ephesians,Phillipians (in fact Paul wrote most of the New Testament..got to love him..the Jesus in him).
So, you must get in the word and stay there. All your past is gone. Nothing can compare to His love for you. What are you waiting for..praise Him for this..Know why you are praising God. He loves for you to praise and worship Him and give Him the glory. You are a spirit man living in a body with a soul.
Now the manual needed is the bible (basic instructions before leaving earth)..God is the manufacturer and you are His product. When you buy electronics from the store it comes with an owner's manual and warranty. The warranty is that you can always return to Him..no expiration date. Now this is the time that you start to LIVE OUT LOUD. Love you. Read about you in the bible..love you much. It is your or may I correct myself and say " that it is time to do our thing with our God."

You are what you eat!
You are what you eat is a statement that is found to be true. Taking care of your body with the proper food, exercise and rest will give a healthier body. We must take the time to take care of our self because it can not take care of itself. Special attentions and consistency is the basic for a healthy outer body. The mind is necessary to be well balanced in order to be healthy. This brings me to the question "How are you taking care of your spiritual body.
Your spiritual bodies has need also. It has to be cared for ,just as your natural body does. The natural body should be checked fully yearly this is called a yearly or annual check-up. The same thing happens to our spiritual body with the things we put into eat. What are you allowing to be put in your spiritual body to cause unhealthy and sluggish spirit. We also must do a check-up of our spiritual body. How do you do a check of the spiritual body?
First of all what are we allowing our eyes to watch that can make them to become spiritually dull. Are we watching positive things that will reflect God's way of doing things. Are you watching things that would interfere with your concept of what would Jesus watch. Comedy is good to make the heart and mind healthy. Does what is said in the comedy reflect something that you would not be shame to look at by inviting Jesus. Just a question? You should know that Jesus lives in you. Does this offend you or make you quiver or say ohh.
Spiritual clear eyes stay keen when we read,study and meditate on the word of God. This is spiritual food; the word of God. It is so powerful it can change things in your life. You will no longer desire negative things. The more you get into the word the sharper your spiritual eyes will become. You will no longer see people like you use to see them. You can actually see them as God sees them with love. I am not saying that you agree with everything they do or say but you still can see them through the love of God. If they do not know Jesus then you will realize that they do not know. There are people that really do not know. They also have not associated with people that know the truth. Why judge them..They are living like they are suppose to live.
It is your job to tell them about Jesus. When Jesus lives in you,how can you look at anyone but with sympathy. Give them the choice you were given: the choice of life or death, allow them to chose. Don't get upset if they don't answer or say anything positive. A lot of times you are to tell them about Jesus and they will think about what was said to them later. Many times someone else will also tell them the same message of Jesus. Pray for them and let god do His job. We are only to witness to them and another may come along and they are ready to accept.
We are now at the ears that may be dull. What are you listening too? Are you listening to negative music that tells you to do silly things. Why would anyone want to know how to be silly or act like an animal. The worst is listening to music that names especially women derogatory names. Many women agree with the derogatory statement. Remember you are what you say you are. The power of listening and speaking junk, what lessons are you learning through listening. What about sensitive language. Why would anyone enjoy language that curses you rather than bless you.
Where are you going? There are some very good places to go as well as negative places. Where you go has the power to change you. Would you be comfortable taking a love one there or Jesus? If the answer is no then why go. Society has a way of calling you something and someone you are not. They never let you for get your mistake. In fact it is hard to not be judge or forgiven..People will always see you through their own precept. There is someone who does not keep looking at your pass..Jesus will not. All your past is gone once you admit and quit it and move on. Repent of what ever it is..What does repent mean-turn from what you are doing and do a new thing.
What are you saying out of your mouth? We must remember that words are very important. Once you say them it can not be taken back. Words are dangerous. Words are like a sword that can pierce you with a blow that will slay you. We can brake hearts, spirit and mind by using piercing harsh words with others. Are we so mean that we can not encourage.? Sometimes it is necessary to break the pattern of using words that tears down someone. It is best to never cause harm. Build up someone,if you can not say nothing. It is said that silence is golden..In the case of being so negative silence is needed.
Please Please do not break children with calling them out. Watch what you say and do..They need to be the best that they can be in a safe environment. The environment should nurture them Positive conversations are a most.. People too.
Prayer is an essential element to a healthy spirit. Pray is communication with God and a most is for Him to talk to you. We must have clear ears to hear from God. He will speak to you. After all He is the great I am. I am is what ever you need. What do you need? Healthy body, spirit healthy and healthy finances. What ever you need He is "I am."
It is necessary to watch what we see,hear,say and do. The eyes are the gateway to the soul. Protect your eyes ,ears,mouth and heart. This is the spiritual exercise we need. Reading the word of God will make you stronger. It is a process. It takes time.
So watch what you are feeding your spirit in order to be healthy. God wants you healthy in body and spirit. Take care of yourself to live the best life ever. How are you viewing life. Growing is a process. Choose to grow don't stay the same. If you don't grow then you stay a baby. This is abnormal because a baby has growth. We all are striving for spiritual maturity that will be a profit for life. Me too. live out loud. love you (Phillipians 4:8)
Just remember it is also good to eat healthy. A lot of our problems could be lack of vitamin to think clearly also. Healthy body and healthy spirit needed for best life ever.
****Let me tell you that this is for believers to feed spiritual body.If you are not a believer the first step for you is to accept Jesus as your savior: How do you do this ..admit that you are a sinner(all have sinned and come short of the glory of GodRomans, admit that Jesus is God's son and He died ,was buried and rose again,ask God to for give you of your sins. Just say yes. now thank Him for giving you the gift that is free salvation..welcome..now you can eat spiritual food,,you are instantly saved by grace(no you do not deserve it, he has given you unmerited favor, this is free) know that He loves you. now renew (change again)your mind with the word.
Know that you can not change yourself..The word does that gradually. You are a new person. Just like a new born babe needs to grow so do you. (beleive by faith) Faith is now,you may not see it but it is working. Everybody wants to advoid reading the word and then say that things are not working for them. Reading, studying and meditating is our part. Let's be for real Jesus is not going to read the bible for you. Go get one buyone, or borrow one. Call me I will get you one if needed. You must use your eyes to read, and ears to hear and mouth to speak. **Tip if you have a computer: everything you need is at your fingertip bible,bible.com*******
Your spiritual bodies has need also. It has to be cared for ,just as your natural body does. The natural body should be checked fully yearly this is called a yearly or annual check-up.

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.
