Track Star



Isaiah 26:7 “The path of the righteous is level. O Upright One, you make the road of the righteous smooth.”

Have you ever known someone that accused you of something that you would never do? I mean this person would make up a scenario in their twisted minds and then start to actually believe the lie themselves. Well I have had this happen to me before, and it was shocking that this person that I knew (or thought I knew) would believe anything even close to what they accused. One thing that I have realized is that some people can so easily accuse you of some things because they are really speaking on things that they would do if the tables were turned. One thing that I learned was to never underestimate the enemy and his tricks. He never plays fair. He wants to kill you physically, mentally, and most of all spiritually. So he will use anyone to get at you –why? Because he knows that you love the Lord and he wants to destroy that. He doesn’t care about the ones that are already living foul, (he already has them). He wants you, and what better way to get you off track than to use someone that you thought was in your corner. He thinks that since you love them you will listen to their nonsense and get off track, but if you love them more than Jesus then yes you will surely fall, but if you love Jesus more than anything then you will slap those demons back into their pits of hell, (and when I say slap I mean slap ‘em with the Word). So for all of my fellow trackmates, let’s stay on course, catch our breaths, and keep going because the finish line is right up ahead.

Tired.


Eph: 6:10 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.”


I am tired of people taking my kindness for weakness.
I am tired of the world telling me I need a man to complete me.
I am tired of wolves in sheep clothing stepping to me.
I am tired of people who try and test my love for the Lord
I am tired of the enemy coming at me as if I can’t see his horns.
I am tired of people who take everything but give nothing
I am tired of people who quote Bible scriptures but aren’t’ living one word of it.
I am tired of people who think that I am too young to know God.
I am tired of people trying to give me their rotten fruit and expect me to eat it.
I am tired of people trying to push my history buttons.
I am tired of people that think they know it all and have arrived.
I am tired but grateful that Jesus gives me the strength to endure it all.

Self-Promoters

1 Corinthians 13:4-5, " Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;"

How many of *y'all have been helped by someone who afterwards went around telling everyone what they did for you? These helpers had hidden agendas from the beginning, and that agenda was to try and belittle you. I try to help anyone who needs it, but I don't tell anyone about it, because I don't do it for recognition. I did it because it was the right thing to do, and I don’t expect anything in return. We all have been or will be put in a position to help others. I don’t know about *y’all but I enjoy the feeling that I get inside from helping others. I am pretty sure that was how Jesus felt when he was helping and healing numerous people. He never told them to “Let ‘em know Jesus did this for you, or Tell ‘em Jesus hooked you up!” in fact he told them the opposite- to not tell anyone because it wasn’t about self-promotion. If you want to help others, then help them, but please don’t turn around and brag about it, because I think others can relate when I say,"I'll pass on your kind of help, because I prefer not to be used in your campaign of self-righteous self promotion."

Jesus Freak

"freak- A thing or occurrence that is markedly unusual or irregular."

This is a topic that some of you may know about or may have dealt with personally since becoming a child of God. Ever since I became saved and accepted Jesus Christ into my life, I have had to deal with negativity from many. I have been talked about behind my back. Some say that I just want some attention. Some hope that, I’ll go back to my old destructive ways soon. I know that I have naysayer’s calling me a Jesus freak, but you know what? I have been a freak in the club, a freak for fake friends and a freak to several men. So why not become a freak for Jesus? Why not give all my time to someone who has saved me from death? Why not become a freak for eternal love? Why not become a freak for someone who gave his life for me? I have wasted plenty of time and energy on many things in this world that didn’t reciprocate, so why not become a Jesus Freak?

Life Lessons 2006


As I think about the New Year that is only days away from making its grand entrance, I can’t help but think about some of the key things that I learned this year;

I learned that my biggest gift used to be my biggest curse.

I learned that some people are indeed seasonal, and it doesn’t matter if the season was a long or a short one. When it is time for them to go you have to let them.

I learned how to look at a person’s spirit.

I learned so much about Faith, and how it will move mountains if you truly believe and have no doubt.

I learned that spreading the Word makes me feel good inside.

I learned that forgiveness is hard to do, but necessary if you want to have peace.

I learned that you should not say that you love someone if you don’t mean it.

I learned how to thank the Father for all things great and small.

I learned that demonic spirits are on this earth and they come in many forms.

I learned that I have been blessed with many gifts and as long as I use them to help others, they will become stronger.

I learned to be content with what I have now and not worry about what I don’t have.

I learned to give and not expect anything in return.

I learned how to pray for my enemies even when my flesh wasn’t a willing participant.

I learned that I really do enjoy helping others.

I learned that you can lead people to the Word but you can’t make them live it.

I learned that man will let you down, but Jesus never fails.



Is there anyone else out there who learned a valuable lesson(s) this year?

Speed Demons

Two steps forward -ten steps back.


How many of *y’all know someone that is always trying to get the hook up? I mean they always want to do things the easy way. They never want to do things the true way. They don’t want to work for anything, but these same people will spend day and night finding a way to get around doing things the correct way. They would rather rush through and get instant results. I know people who think that by doing this that they will become successful. When in reality those two steps forward always end up with them taking ten steps back. Why not take your time, pray about it, and wait on the Lord to tell you when to make a move? Anxiousness is not of the Lord. If you ever feel anxious pray it off of you, because that is the enemy in your ear trying to get you to move without listening to the Holy Spirit. If you are someone who is always trying to get ahead the wrong way, then you need to slow down, because all of those quick speedy steps will only get you that much closer to hell.

“Tomorrow Will Bring…..”



How many of *y’all know that we are not promised tomorrow? How many of y’all know that that annoying alarm clock that you smack every morning really doesn’t have anything to do with your waking up? How many of *y'all know that you should not boast about tomorrow because you don’t know if you will be here? You shuld be trying to live a righteous life and help others, and not wasting your time plotting foolish revenges and vendettas on your enemies. If you have been trying to live as Jesus taught us, then I commend you, because in today’s society it is so easy not to turn the other cheek, it is too easy to pick up something and knock someone upside the head with it, and way too easy to try and please the world. Well if you are a plotter then you have wasted precious time when you could have been giving and reaping the benefits that joy and peace can give you. I feel sorry for you because you spent your precious moments on this earth taking and consuming and not planting any seeds of love. I know that the enemy makes you feel like it is too late to get it together and has lied and told you that you have gone way too far. But speaking from a former plotter of hate and deceit, I know that each day we wake up is a chance for each of us to get right. So before you close your eyes tonight I want *y’all to think about one thing; “If you don’t wake up tomorrow morning, where do you think your soul will go?”

Joy-Jackers



Misery- “Great mental or emotional distress; extreme unhappiness.”

How many of *y’all know an extremely negative person? I mean almost everything that comes out of them is negative or negative related. How many of *y'all can’t stand to see this person coming your way? How many of you think when you see them coming, "Uh oh here comes Mr. Pessimistic- Full –of- Misery to spread their gloomy-doomy for the day! Or here comes Mr. I hate my dog, my cat, my car, my house, my family, my shoe, my lil’ baby toe ...” They literally make Scrooge look like a saint. Even if you were in a pretty good mood, sometimes after being around this person you kind of felt down in the dumps too. You know why you felt like this? It is because that is a negative spirit that is looking for its next victim to beat up. You need to stay away from people like this; you should not entertain them. Tell them that if all they have to spread around is pessimism, then to please stay away from you. If all they have to give is a bag of sad sack then they need to step the other way! Don’t get me wrong I love the Lord and I have everlasting Joy that no man can ever take, but I still don’t want to use up all my energy trying to pep them up all the time. Entertaining negative people will drain you and make you more susceptible to the enemy’s attacks. Don’t get me wrong, we all have bad days, and at times we may feel sad, etc., and we may need an encouraging word or two to help pick us back up so that we can continue on the path of righteousness. I am not talking about those instances. I am talking about perpetual Joy-Jackers; people who think that their job is to make others miserable, and not only do they think it is their job, they enjoy the overtime! So for the children of God out there who come across negative pessimistic spirits, lets make sure that these miserable demons stay unemployed.

Predators in a Skirt

I Corinthians 6:9 “Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders”

This topic is one that I had being trying to avoid but the Holy Spirit has been on me to put it out there,so here it is. How many of you have had someone approach you as though they were your friend? They were there when you were down and always had the right words to say to you at the right time. They agreed with you on everything and may have even lightly rubbed your back, arm, or hand. Did you begin to feel uncomfortable around this friend? Did you start to feel like they were sizing you up? Did you begin to see the lust in their eyes? Did you wonder why they always talked about how some man (men) did them wrong and how none of them are any good? Did they say, “Girl, we have to stick together?” Did they finally get bold enough and outright try you? Did they get angry with you when you declined their advances? Or did they act like you were reading more into the situation, as if you didn't see them acting like a pit bull in heat? Well if any of this or similar has happened to you before, you were being entertained by a homosexual spirit. They pretended to be down with you to gain your trust, but they had hidden motives. I call them Predators in a skirt. They have been hurt so badly by men that they stopped liking men and now have a taste for females. They are hungry and you are the menu that they now crave. If this has happened to you, you are supposed to rebuke them in the name of Jesus, because homosexuality is a demonic spirit. You don’t have to call them names, but use the Word to call it like you see it! Homosexuality is a sin and although society is making it the norm, it is wrong! I am one of those who are so tired of homosexuals comparing themselves to being white, black, hispanic, etc. They are trying to make us believe that they were born like that. I don’t know what God y’all serve but my God doesn’t make any mistakes! He made Adam and Eve so that they may create life. Two people of the same sex can’t produce anything but more demonic spirits. They are only fulfilling their fleshly desires. We are not supposed to entertain them. For y’all out there that have been approached by them; hit 'em up with the Word everytime, (no more, no less) because it cuts like a double edged sword. For those of you who have those demonic spirits lurking within you, you need to repent now! Get out of darkness and start living in the light.

I’ma people

Actions Speak Loud!

Have you ever been in a relationship where the person says, “I love you," and then they turn right around and snatch your heart right out of your chest? I mean they think that by merely saying the words I love you, it is enough. If you really love someone your actions will show it, and that person will feel it. That’s like someone who says ,"I’ma get off drugs,” but they stay posted up at a crack house; or someone who says, “I’ma lose weight,” but they drink Slim Slow everyday. Stop saying, “I’ma stop smoking,” when you smell like a chimney! What I am trying to say is “Actions Speak Louder Than Words”. What if Jesus walked around back then only saying that he was the Son of God,but he smoked and got drunk with the fellas? Who would have believed in him if his actions were not in accordance with his Words?
I am not judging anyone, but I think we should stop entertaining I’ma people. Stop saying that you believe in them when you know in your heart that they haven’t really changed. You are only giving them fuel to keep up the madness. Be honest with them and tell them up front, "If you can’t walk the walk, then –Sit Down and Be Quiet!"

He Guides Me….

I apologize for not posting anything in awhile y'all, but please know that everything that I put on this blog is things that the Holy Spirit tells me to write. I can’t rush it. I study the Word daily so that I won’t be tempted to put my emotions in it. I don’t want to mislead anyone who may be seeking Jesus in the wrong direction because of my personal feelings. If I were to put everything on here that I wanted to, it just wouldn’t flow right. Y’all would be talking about me under your breath talking about some, “Who does she think she is? She is getting beside herself,Lord please help her!…..” The reason I know that I am led by the Holy Spirit to do this blog is because I can read some of the past posts and can hardly believe that I wrote them. So truly this blog is a blessing to me also. All comments are welcome, but please don’t use profanity or try to push your anti-Christ agenda, because I will delete them with the quickness! (click,click gone!). This blog does not entertain confusion, and I refuse to let the enemy jack God’s Glory!

Grave Diggers

PROVERBS 26:27 " If a man digs a pit, he will fall into it; if a man rolls a stone, it will roll back on him ."

I realize that some people don't like others for differing reasons, and I have no problem with this. However, I do have a problem with people who constantly roam around digging graves for you to fall into. I mean, they spend numerous man-hours plotting your downfall. They are constantly trying to push you over the edge, hoping that you will fall into their hole. Do you know someone like this? If you know someone like this then you need to beware of the fool, because they will do anything to make you fall. These same people seem to have no time or energy for anything positive or uplifting, yet they spend countless hours and even days plotting your destruction. These people will dig the equivalent of the Grand Canyon with their bare hands (without rest) because they are overly consumed with jealousy, anger, hatred, etc. and can do this effortlessly because they have those evil spirits in them egging them on. (Again, this proves the lengths that the enemy will go through to set you up for failure.) If you know someone like this, you should try to avoid them, but if you have to be around them, don’t give them anything to use against you, because they are always lurking in the shadows waiting for you to slip up. Don’t fall for their fake smiles and concerns, because light and dark will never coincide. Always, use the Word when dealing with them. Don’t battle them physically because that’s unnecessary; in fact you should continue to pray for them. One thing to remember is that the enemy won’t fight with himself, because even he knows he looks foolish doing so. If you continue to deal with them like this, and they refuse to change, don't stress because you will eventually see them descend into the same hole that was meant for you, talking about some,"I have fallen and I can't get up!"

Spiritual Warfare

Mount Up!

1 Corinthians 15:57~"But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory [making us conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ." ~

I went back into the Army *y’all, (I am not talking about man’s army!) and I want you to join this Army too. We were all born soldiers, but the question is which side are you on? You have to choose a side, either you are for God or against God. There is no in between. If you join this Army you will even get a huge bonus at the end (you will get to enter heaven). To be in this Army you have to be sober, joyful, and have a desire to live right. In order to be prepared for this war you have to go through basic training where you learn the basics like; place the Lord first in all that you do and always give him the glory! Then once you understand this, you have to go through the secondary training which teaches you how to love and forgive, and then for the best of the best soldiers you have to go through a Special Forces type training. These soldiers live, breathe, and eat righteousness and have graduated from drinking milk to eating meat. Special Forces soldiers for Jesus recognize evil attacks from miles away, and they know how to react accordingly. These soldiers are the ones that are on the front lines daily. They help protect the ones that aren’t as strong in the Word as they are. They often go days without eating (fasting) and know that this is sometimes necessary for them to hear the Holy Spirit speaking directly to them. They are the sharpshooters, y’all. They often times know the enemies next move and already have the necessary ammo (the Word) to make Satan’s Army retreat every time. They are familiar with the enemy and his many weapons of mass destruction, because they have been in many spiritual battles with him, and they even have the scars t0 prove it, yet in spite of all of this their Faith still remains intact. These few soldiers are special indeed.

In the Army of Righteousness please know and realize that there will be deserters, and some soldiers will go AWOL, because the enemy is constantly scouting for weaklings and is always recruiting soldiers for his army. Be prepared for spies and traitors that come as allies in order to cause confusion in the base camp. Many have died and many more will die in this battle. In this Spiritual War please don’t take anything for granted. In this war you need to arm your self with all that is good and realize that Satan never fights fairly.

So my questions to you are; Are you prepared? Are you prayed up? Do you have your ammunition ready? For those of you who answered “No”, I pray that you open your eyes and see the truth before it is too late to join. For those of you who answered “Yes” then you are ready, and I say to you, my fellow soldiers, “MOUNT UP!" because Armageddon is right around the corner!

A Few Good Friends

“If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But, if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar."

In my lifetime I have had a lot of people that came at me as a wolf in sheep’s clothing; although nowadays they are more like wolves with sheepskin coats because they don’t even bother to cover up their faces anymore. Please beware of these cunning creatures because they usually have ulterior motives to help get you off track and as far away from Jesus as they can.

If you have good friends in your life, then you are truly blessed. I have many associates in my life but only a few good friends. I am talking about friends that have been with me through thick and thin. They never stabbed me in my back, in fact they helped remove some of the knives that others had stabbed me with. I have friends that helped me when I was lying on my face. I mean friends that would literally put their fifty cents with my fifty cents, and we would split an M&M for lunch. One lesson that I learned while going through those hard times was that when you are down, a friend will help uplift you, but a foe will either disappear or stay around and kick you in the head to make you feel worse. A friend will help encourage you, they are happy for you, and most importantly, they pray for you. If any of you out there have true-blue friends out there, make sure that you tell them how much you appreciate them hanging in there while you went through the storms. I may not have a lot of them, but when it comes to true friends I'll take quality over quantity any day.

L-I-S-T-E-N

How many of *y'all know someone that thinks that they know it all? I mean anytime you try to explain anything to them, they always cut you off with, “I Know! I heard you! or I already know...!” This person never lets you finish what you were trying to say. How many of *y'all are frustrated with this? How many of *y'all know that this person really doesn’t know it all? Because anyone that knows anything will tell you that the first lesson to knowledge is learning how to listen. A knowledgeable person knows when to speak and when to be quiet. The Lord gave us all two ears and one mouth for a reason. Could you imagine if we all had two mouths and one ear? There would be nothing but I-know-it-alls walking around everywhere, and no one would ever hear anything.
If you are one of those, I-know-it-all people then you need to shut your mouth, be quiet, zip your lips, and hush! Everyone knows that you don’t, in fact, know it all, because you don’t even know how to listen. If you are one of the ones who is trying to get through to a I-know-it-all person; please don’t argue with them. If you try to talk to them and they refuse to listen to you, then do what Jesus said for the disciples to do, "If you go to a town and they reject me, don’t welcome you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet. (Mark 6:10-12).” In other words, if they don’t listen -STEP! Don’t stand there and beat them over the head with the WORD! The WORD is powerful enough. You don’t have to jump up and down or do back flips to get them to hear it. Anyway trust me, I’ve learned from past experiences that the Lord has his own eye-opening ways of getting I-Know-it-alls to listen to his every WORD.

Black-Eye-Syndrome


Did I see what I think I saw?


In the past two weeks, the news has reported on two different women who were accused of harming pregnant women and taking their babies. When I saw the pictures of these two accused women, I noticed that these two women had something very similar in common; they both had Black- Eyes (I am not talking about bruises *y'all.) For those of you that don’t know what Black Eyes are, let me break it down even more; I mean, the actual eyes- the irises and the pupil look one and the same, and the eyes have an overly-glazed appearance. When you see eyes like that -take heed, and know that he/she has an evil spirit(s) in them. If you still don’t understand, then the next time that you notice someone acting a fool or that is angry, etc., just look at their eyes. You will see exactly what I am talking about(unless you are one of the ones who happen to have black eyes too). Some people are good at hiding their Black-Eyes, but it can’t be hid forever. Black-Eyes have ways of making themselves known. You don’t have to walk around afraid of them because, “The Lord did not give us a spirit of fear,” but recognize them so that you know what you are dealing with. Please believe that, “The eyes are indeed windows to the soul.” What do your eyes say about you?
Some of you could avoid a lot of heartache and trauma if you studied someone’s eyes before letting them into your personal life. The Lord gives us discernment for a reason. Use it! Use it! Use It! The one good thing about Black-Eye-syndrome is that it is 100% curable. All you need to do is accept Jesus Christ wholeheartily and apply him to your daily lives . Choose to spread light instead of darkness. Have joy and help fill others with joyful things! If you are truly living by the Word your eyes will naturally brighten and when you look at others they will see the unconditional Love in them.

"Copy Cats"


Have you ever known someone that copies everything that someone else does? I mean they put the copy in “copycat.” They insist on living their lives through you. If you do something, they quickly turn around and do the same or almost the same thing. Isn’t that annoying? Don’t you sometimes feel like saying, “Stop biting me! Why are you all on my back? May I have my shadow back please?” They may even say things like; “You have it together, or I want to be like you.” But in reality if they only knew, what you have been through to get to where you are, they wouldn’t even want to put their lil’ baby toe in any of the shoes that you’ve walked in. You ever heard of the saying, “Be careful what you ask for because you just might get it?" I think that this is so true, because if you want something that someone else has, you need to be prepared to take on everything that comes along with it. Don’t envy others and their gifts. The Lord gives us all special talents and gifts. Use the ones that he gave you. Stop trying to be me -be you! We are all beautifully and wonderfully made and Jesus loves all of us.

"Just Say No!"

Deut 18:10
"There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer”

Do you know someone that is superstitious? I mean, you can’t do anything around them without them saying things like; “oo00h! that’s bad luck….” There are a lot of people who walk around in constant fear because they are superstitious. The definition of superstition is “A belief, practice or rite irrationally maintained by ignorance of the laws of nature or by faith in magic or chance.” I was surrounded by superstitious people almost all of my childhood. One of my childhood friends tried to get me to cut my hand and do a blood oath so that we would be blood sisters. I had another friend who wanted me to play with an Ouija board, so we could talk to her dead aunt. Thankfully, I had enough sense at that time, to not go there. The Bible says that witchcraft in any form is wrong; there is no getting around it. And for the record THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A GOOD WITCH!! The definition of witch is “a being imagined to have special powers derived from the devil.” When some of you think about witches you probably immediately think about the stereotypical image that the media gives you, which is an ugly old woman with bad skin, warts, dressed in black, and rides a broom. Well, this is not always the case. A witch doesn’t have to be ugly or disfigured; in fact they can be beautiful (on the outside that is). A witch can be anyone (male or female) who practices any form of witchcraft.

I used to know someone who was extremely superstitious. She had a horseshoe over her door for good luck, she burned candles for good luck, If I put my purse on the table she would scream “It’s bad luck to put a purse on the table!”, if I sat it on the floor she would yell,"It’s bad luck to put a purse on the floor!” As you probably can imagine, I was a nervous wreck around this person. If anyone did anything to any of her children, she insisted on getting their names so she could put a hex on them. It wasn’t surprising that she was sick all the time, but somehow it never registered to her that the reason why she was so ill was because she was serving the enemy. The sad part was that the stuff she was practicing was also a generational thing. Her mom also practiced witchcraft and her grandma was also known to have been a palm reader and a highly feared individual before she died. At times I felt pity for her because she really believed in all of that crazy stuff. She put a lot of time and effort into doing evil. Being around this person was one of the hardest tests for me, because she was very mean and hateful, because she couldn't convert me. I thank GOD everyday that he delivered me from that mess before those evil dark spirits consumed me.

Some people may dabble in witchcraft and not even know it; for instance, have you ever thrown salt over your shoulder when you spilt it? Have you ever carried items around in your pocket for good luck? Do you believe in horoscopes? Have you ever tried to control someone by using something that belonged to them? I am also guilty of doing many of these things, but now I know better.If you have partook in any of these things or more; you need to ask the Lord for forgiveness NOW, because all of those things are not of him. Even if you do a few of these things, you have still opened the door to the enemy. Why help Satan form the weapon to beat you down with it? Some of you need to realize that Satan tries to emulate GOD in many ways. He has his own army of demons out in the world to harass and fool you. He is always roaming around trying to get at you. For example; the Lord has prophets that he uses to spread his word.The devil has fortune tellers and palm readers, etc. to spread his madness.

If you want to be free of the enemy's strongholds, then please get rid of all of that confusion in your life and accept Jesus Christ. As soon as you purge yourself of all of that garbage ,you will be amazed at how great you look and feel. Those evil dark spirits will flee from you and you will then begin to walk in the light again.

Just Be Quiet



How many of *y'all don’t like to be alone? You always need someone or something around in order to make you happy. Do you need to play the radio or TV 24/7? Do you go everywhere with your cell phone, laptop, or PDAs.Can you drive five minutes up the road without turning on the radio? I purposely turn off my radio some times when my daughters are in the car with me so that they also learn how to enjoy quiet times. I realized that we all need some quiet alone time in order to get closer to the Lord. When we have all of those worldly distractions, it is hard to hear the Holy Spirit speaking to us and that is what the enemy wants. I have learned to cherish my alone times, because it strengthens my walk with Jesus. Our society has so many things that grab our attention and hold it hostage. Sadly many of us are addicted to the madness. Quiet time doesn’t mean you have to sit in a room and say “WOOSAH!” over and over. Try doing something that you enjoy; like reading a good book, praying, singing, or writing in a journal. Alone time helps keep you focused. It also creates balance in your life. If you are one of those people who are really needy, you need some alone time more so than others. If you are in a personal relationship with someone, seek out quiet times to help strengthen the relationship. It is good to be around people to fellowship with, but if you have to have them in order to function in everyday life, then you need to find out why. Quiet time helps to rejuvenate your spirit so you can get back out into the world and not be consumed by the madness.



Can anyone out there relate?

Super Who?



Man of Steel vs. Spirit of Steel





Many of you out there take care of your children, your health, your finances, your homes, your marriages, your pets, your cars,your career, and etc. You invest a lot of painstaking time in these various things. Can I ask you a question? How many of you are taking care of your Spirit? How many of you know that the same care that you apply to your health should also be applied to your Spirit? How many of you know that if you invest in your Spirit that you will receive ten-fold? How many of you know that you have to feed your Spirit with the Word? Many of you are walking around with anorexic Spirits and wondering why you can’t stand up to demonic attacks from the enemy. And many of you are the opposite,walking around with obese dark Spirits because you feed your spirit with plenty of negativity .Want a tip? Try using some of those same weight loss secrets to help you lose the negativity from your Spirit. Would you enter a championship fight if you weren’t in the proper condition? Could you run an Olympic race if you were in terrible shape? There is no way you would be prepared for any of these things without getting in the proper shape.

Everything that you apply in your daily life should also be applied to your Spiritual life. You have to nourish your Spirit with good wholesome things, so that when attacks come your way they will bounce off of you like you were made of teflon. Many of you probably heard of “Superman, The Man of Steel who was said to be faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound…”) Well I know of something that puts Superman and all his mighty physical attributes to shame. I call him; “Spirit of Steel; Faster than any demonic force, more Powerful than Satan and his allies, able to pass all tests in a single bound, and ultimately able to get into heaven to be with the Son and the Father. Which one would you rather be?



Be Blessed *Y'all.
