A Sum Total

Call me not keeping up with the times but I am neither New Age nor Neo-anything.  In fact, I would deem myself more of an old-fashioned kind of girl.  I believe that God can – Period.  His word never stated or said that people could not prosper by the works of their own hands; people did so all the time-since the beginning of time.  Take Oprah for instance, with many accomplishments up underneath her belt-she lacks in many ways.  She has never married, no posterity to leave her wealth to, and was raised in a not so sound family life.  All she has is wealth but she is not whole.  Her entire existence has been external accomplishments.  As there were ten lepers healed by Jesus, they all received the healing that they were imploring of him, however, only the one was made whole, which turned back and gave thanks to the Lord.  There is something to be said about giving God all the praise, glory and honor and not delving into what totally belongs to him by taking credit for one self.  Some are satisfied with “a” thing- be it wealth, health, family or prosperity.  However, I seek what only few obtain and that is the fullness of the blessing of the Father in every area of my life.  I do not believe that we have to sacrifice one thing for another because when God blesses, his intent is to bless everything that we are associated with-not just a portion or specific area in our life.  Maybe at different intervals, but when it is all said and done there is a comprehensive, aggregated, and cumulative totality in God, which can only be quantified by God as a complete and blessed life.  Why settle when we can have ALL.  

More than words

Many of us haven’t had a word of encouragement, nor a validation, neither privilege, entitlement, prerogative, empowerment, endorsement, inheritance, trust fund, bootstrap, leg up, or even a handout - to give us the edge that many of our associates and colleagues have enjoyed and partaken of (some since birth and for generations).  Those are a lot of words, with much more meaning behind them; and even more clout and influence that most do not have.  Unfortunately, those before us didn’t receive those words either.  The only words that were passed down were poverty, funeral bills and an unhealthy sense of helplessness and despair.  Many feel impotent and dysfunctional.  We only have a legacy of “find your way to get through, by just barely getting by”, nevertheless, regardless of how powerful those words seem to be, all of those words have to bow down at the Word of the Father, but our responsibility is to believe his report and trust in his promise(s).  (John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.) One word from God can produce the existence of a life that exceeds our understanding.

Foreign Currency

The promises of God are Yea and Amen, however, there is a cost associated with it. There is a foreign currency called faith that converts our praise into the currency needed to make a withdrawal from heaven. Without faith we have an account that is overflowing but no way to gain access to it.

Vaccinate

We eradicate doubt by vaccinating it with Faith. Sin , poverty, depression, are all forms of disease that are meant to disable, destabilize, and destroy what it is that God called and purposed for us to do in this life. You vaccinate yourself by giving God all the praise, glory and honor through it all – the good, the bad and the indifferent. I don’t like getting a shot but more so I deplore being sick – Ergo, sometimes I do not like walking by faith but I would rather walk by faith and get all that God has for me rather than leave this earth having not fulfilled my purpose.

A Blind Eye

When you walk with God you see things in and through the spirit that you wouldn’t normally see with your naked eyes. God allows you to see the tricks of the enemy, his hand gets tipped and we avoid the traps and snares. But God also allows us to see HIM while in the battle, to know that there is more with us than against us. The battle is not ours to fight but to trust that the Lord of Host will fight our battles for us. We must not allow our praise to be stifled. Our enemy has a goal, and that goal is to blind us as to whom we are in Christ. Through the instrument of praise is where our enemy goes blind and is defeated.

Promise Pre-Approved

Most who have tried to buy a house tended not to be accepted out the gate.  Several creditors were solicited for your loan approval – CERTAIN CRITERIA HAD TO MET (FIRST).  Nevertheless, you kept on trying because you had a goal and a desire to own a piece of the “Dream” but also to have your place that you called your own.  Well… God has given us a “Promise” and most don’t receive anything other than a “vision” at first – a “knowing” placed on your heart.  Many of us attempt to obtain them right off the bat, but you cannot allow a rejection or delay to keep you from seeking the face of God and ALL that he has in-store for us.  God has several lenders ready to bless you (Angels ascending and descending), but approval is exclusively up to him and whether or not you are meeting the requirements that he has set forth for us.  However, through the blood of Jesus Christ our “Promise” is Pre-Approved.
