Dont be moved








Wow, time flies ! I started to write about this topic almost a year ago but never completed it. I read the subject line and to my amazement the title "don't be moved" has such a greater meaning to me! 

This year I preached at our 2015 Gatherinng of the sons conference and the message was entitled "you didn't see anything coming" and oh how God moved. In the teaching I began to encourage the people not to be moved, and more specifically not to be moved by people. Our actions can not be contingent upon our own feelings and what we think. Our purpose and plans should consist of living a life that is pleasing to Christ and our walks with Him exemplify Him. If we focus on the true purpose and goal which IS HIM. We won't be moved, or bothered by what we tend to perceive as traumatic, life altering events. 

People of God, focus on the Lord and you CANNOT GO WRONG. 

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.~1 Corinthians 15:58~

My prayer and what is on my heart at the moment..

My prayer is that we do not become our climate. Throughout the different places that I have lived it has been my experience that people are literally influenced by their literal climate that they live in. I am originally from the east cost, upstate New York.  There, You have tons of water and trees and signs of life every where you look. Not saying that there are not signs of life any where else but it just seems so much more abundant there. Although, where I come from is not perfect either, I also can appreciate some of the people that were great that I knew and for the time that I was there. Now, I do not hear from really anyone from back at home. From time to time my lovely older sister hits me up, which I appreciate her for but other than that for most people it is out of sight out of mind.  When I went to Florida also somewhat the same kind of scenery, BEAUTIFUL, people were just very carefree and personable, but now the people that I once knew same actions: out of sight out of

Let God be your source of validation.

It is important to let God be your validation. Seeking man for validation or allowing man to become your sole and primary source of validation can kill you. Yes, either way you may be thinking about it spiritually or naturally. To Validate something means to make valid, substantiate to confirm. How can a person or an object be completely considered validated or confirmed by someone or something that did not make it. It would be pointless and make their validation vain because man did not make you. God, Jehovah Jireh, Yahweh has made you so therefore He can be your only true source of validation. People can change all the time, one minute they love you and the next they hate you. If you place your validation and who you are and how you feel about yourself in people, you will become  unstable. Instability breeds instability. But God is the same yesterday and today and forever (Hebrews 13: 8). God is not like man. He validates you through Him, who is constant and loving.  I would r

God IS the answer

Hey All, I hope you all find this blog in good health and spirits.  I have just read the most silly post and I have to talk about it. A young lady, the founder of  "For Black Girls", has supposedly committed suicide at 22 yrs. old. I am not sure as to how accurate this is, however, I still wanted to talk about what this article said. I believe that now there is a misconception that people NEED anti- depressants, because of " mental illnesses".  This young lady supposedly suffered from a mental illness, and depression. The person in the article went on to discuss how thy received Zoloft and now they are so changed, and how blacks shy from anti- depressants... blah.. blah...   I think it is silly for those people who do not believe in (Jesus), yes they may have a harder time with certain things, so somethings that they may suffer from will never change. There fore, they may actually act "crazy", and have to take anti- depressants but as for a believer,
