Dance Partners

2 Corinthians 6:14 ~"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?"~

Have you ever danced with someone that wouldn’t let you go once the music had stopped? I mean they continued to hold on to you tightly even though you wanted them to let you go. They were stuck to you like super-duper glue, but all you could think of was, “let me go!” In fact the more you tried to pull away from them the harder they held you.
These incidents made me think about something; how many of *y’all know that when you dance with the devil you will get hurt every time? Once you dance with him, he will always try to keep his stronghold on you so that you don’t get the opportunity to dance with Jesus. Examples of dancing with the devil are falling for someone from your past that you know is living in utter darkness. I know many people who have fallen for this trap, including myself, because we want them to change so badly that we fall for the charming smiles and sweet words. We can’t see the forked tongue because we are too blinded by its charm. No matter how pleasing a person looks to the eyes, you have to always look at the person’s spirit. Use discernment at all times! Stop giving into your fleshly desires; it will get you killed out here. The devil isn’t playing *y’all, he wants you and he will use any and every trick to bring you into his kingdom. So if you keep on sticking your lil’ baby toe into his world he will snatch you up into his kingdom so fast it will make your head spin. So the best thing to do is to stay away from the dark side, because light and dark should never, ever mix.

Friend or Foe?

Proverbs 27:6 “Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.”

Why do some people try to instill fear in you? I mean, they go out of their way to make you feel afraid and troubled about certain situations in your life. They pretend to be concerned by saying things like, “Are you alright?” but they say it as if we were back in the 1800s and we are run- away slaves. Don’t get me wrong it is okay to ask, “Are you alright?” but what good is it to say it if comes from a cold heart?
Why do some people do this? The reason is because they want to transfer a spirit of fear to you. They want you to stumble and lose focus. But they fail to realize that there isn't anything that can make you doubt Jesus and your love for him.
True friends will never try to instill fear in you. Even when you are going through bad things in life, they will continue to show you unconditional encouragement and love. They would never try to make the situation more dramatic than it is. People like this or either one of two things; 1.) They are not truly friends, but wolves in sheep’s clothing, and know exactly what they are doing ,or 2.) They can’t see themselves because they are in total darkness. If you want to know if someone is really for or against you, just wait until you are going through some heavy things, and you will get your answer. For some of you it may be hard for you to accept the reality that you get, but remember you can’t make anyone love you no matter how much of a friend you are to them. All you can do is continue to love them and hope that they see the light which is God's everlasting love.

Fly Higher

Isaiah 40:31 "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as EAGLES, they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint"

The other day while driving I saw a bird in the sky that was struggling to fly. It was a very windy day, but that bird was determined to fly higher. The wind was knocking that bird every which way, but it continued to flap its wings, determined to soar. I sat there and watched that bird until it had flapped its wings enough to make progress, only to be knocked back down countless times. The bird finally flapped its wings enough to gain enough momentum to fly higher. This incident really spoke to me and made me think about the drive in many of us. Even though the enemy will come with numerous attacks, he can’t take our drive, our will, or our focus to soar higher. He can’t take our faith in Jesus. For those of you who are soaring for righteousness I applaud you, because in today’s world it is so easy to give up and fly low on the bandwagon of sin. So keep soaring for righteousness, keep flapping your wings for morality, because you will eventually reach your final destination to be with the Son and the Father.
