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.

Study and Pass the Test
2 Tim. 2:15~"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth."~
Real- “Genuine; not counterfeit, artificial, or imitation; authentic."
Fake- “Designed to deceive or cheat; not real; counterfeit.”
I have been asked several times how to know if someone’s teachings are real or fake. Each time my answer is always the same. If the person says that they believe in Jesus Christ then their actions, lifestyle, speech, etc will show this. In other words their life will emulate Christ and Christian things. If you have questions about whether someone’s teachings are real or fake then you need to pick up the Bible and read and meditate on the Word for yourself. This sounds simple doesn’t it? Well in some of my life experiences I have found people who claim to know the Lord, they go to church, participate in church activities, etc., but they sometimes become overly dependent on others to give them the Word, instead of reading it themselves. Don’t get me wrong, it is good to have someone minister the Word to us, because we all need reinforcements in our spiritual journey. But please don’t get so comfortable in what someone else tells you, that you don’t even pick up the Bible anymore. How can you recognize someone that does this? For instance, if they seem to always start their sentences with “(So-&-So) says….. The (So-&-So) always says…. etc.” What I am saying is that we have to be very careful about uplifting man and giving him/her God’s glory. Sure (So-&-So) may have held your hand on parts of your spiritual journey, but please don’t forget to do your own research and listen to the Holy Spirit yourself. If the Lord truly has something for you, then he will tell you and not always use a middleman.

The Blind Can't Lead The Blind
~Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.”~~Matthew 18:6 "But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”~
This topic is a topic that may hurt some people's feelings, but sometimes the "Truth Hurts." I have been approached several times over the years to join certain organizations that were and are still popular today. Although I wasn’t saved at the time when I was asked to join these covert organizations, something in me told me not to do it. Today, I now know that that was the Holy Spirit telling me not to do it. When I did my research I found out that many of these organizations had all kinds of secret rituals and ceremonies that made people go through some humiliating things in order to become members. This started me thinking about all of these so called secret organizations that so many people are a part of and don’t really know what they are really a part of. It made me think of the people who would argue you down if you said anything against their organization. Jesus doesn’t require us to worship signs, symbols, and medallions or to use our affiliation with various organizations to get illegal hook-ups. When we do that we are worshiping idols, which are false Gods, of which God highly detests. He wants us to worship him in Spirit and in truth. The only requirement is to confess our sins to him and accept him as our savior…sounds simple doesn’t it?
Well too many people out there are hurting and are seeking something to belong to, often times they get sidetracked and duped into joining these cunning organizations. A lot of them joined when they were young and naïve and many knew in their hearts, it nwasn't right, but are too afraid of the so called consequences ,because they illegally gave blood oaths or something similar to never forsake the organization. I don’t know about *y’all ,but if I have a choice between Flim-Flam- Flum, or Jesus Christ -uh it’s not even a contest because I'm going to trust Jesus everytime. Many others joined these organizations because they had family members that were in it and so they just followed in those tragic foot steps, thereby keeping the generational curses going.
I don’t claim to know it all, but one thing that I do know is that it is not too late to walk out of the darkness and start living in the real light which is Jesus Christ. I don’t know about *y’all but I want to go to heaven to be with the Father and the Son and I don’t want anything on this Earth to hinder my walk getting there. I realize that some people are truly ignorant of what they are involved in and all we can do is pray for them to gain wisdom in this area. But there are many that KNOW what they are involved in and so they are held accountable for this. I don’t know about *y’all, but I don’t want anyone’s blood on my hands when I stand before the Father. It is one thing to not know, but it is totally different to know and intentionally lead others down the pathway to destruction. For those of you that this applies to, I pray that this stronghold is removed from you and most of all I pray that God has mercy on you.
Amen.

Truth Hurts
Have you ever said something to someone, and then they got upset with you? Did they get irate and say that what you said did not apply to them? Did they call you a liar? If so then you were bit by a hit dog. In my lifetime, I have found that the saying, “A hit dog will holler,” is really true, because if someone said something about you that were not true- you wouldn’t be offended. You wouldn’t think anything else about it. But if what they said about you applied to you, then your feelings are hurt, and you lash out. You know why you reacted like this? Because sometimes the truth hurts no matter how soft it is given to you. For example, in my past people used to say I talked too much, I would go ballistic on them trying to prove to them that I did not have a big mouth, when in fact I just proved them right by barking like a Big dog. I wrote this topic today to say that if you have said something to someone to try and really help them see themselves and they got upset with you, don’t worry about it. Because in the back of their minds they know that what you said was actually true. If they are really your friend, then they will eventually come back later, and thank you for being bold enough to tell them the truth.

Hype-Men
John1: 19 "My dear brothers and sisters, be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger.”
Instigate-“to urge, provoke, or incite to some action or course”
How many of *y’all know someone that likes to stir things up? I mean they enjoy getting others riled up. They say things like, “Are you going to let him talk to you like that?"I" wouldn’t take that. If I were you, I'd do….” They like to see you upset and crunk for some reason. I call these people Hype-Men because they like to make you anxious. They never spend time pumping you up with positive things, but as soon as they see confusion, here they come running! If you have anyone like this around you, you need to cut back on the time that you spend with them, because they are trying to lead you down the path to destruction. Real friends will be loving, logical, and want you to succeed, (so sitting in a jail cell with umpteen years for beating up someone, because they looked at you crazy is not a good look). You probably would never have acted foolishly if not for your personal Hype-man. Hype-men love chaos, turmoil, and confusion because their leader is the master of all these. Instead of Hype-men saying, “Here I am to save the day!” They rush in screaming, “Hear I am to wreck your day!” Some signs that you have a Hype-man in you life; if they always make you feel anxious inside, if they make you feel weak if you back down from confrontation, or if they always say, “You know I got your back.” But then they stand on the sidelines and watch while you fight Rocky Balboa and Mike Tyson all by yourself. Aren’t you tired of looking like the town fool? If so then, the next time a Hype-Man comes flying your way, pull out the brick wall (the Word) and watch him crash and burn every time.

The Great Pretenders
Isaiah 42:16 “And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.”
Have you ever known someone that fronts like they have it all together? I mean they go through all kinds of changes trying to get you to believe their facade? When the truth is they are really hurting inside, but faking like they are okay. When in actuality they are all broken up inside and too proud to say, “I need help,” or too stubborn to say, “Please tell me how you made it out of your negative situation so I can learn.” I call these people pretenders because they pretend to have it going on. I call them pretenders because; they are pretending to be something they are not. I call them pretenders, because they pretend to be happy when they are really miserable inside. One way to know if someone is a pretender or not is if they always ‘say’ they have joy. If you really have joy you don’t have to say anything. It will show in all that you do.
One way to break the pretend cycle is to admit that you need help; it is okay to let others know that you are weak in certain areas. It is okay to let others know you need their help, because we can’t carry it all by ourselves. It is okay to admit that you don’t have it altogether, because in reality no one has it altogether. We need to try and help those that have fallen short especially if they have reached out to you. By help I mean help those who are seeking the light, I am not talking about those that live in total darkness and don’t want to change at all. I am also speaking to myself *y’all because my flesh is sometimes too quick to cut off others when I see them do things that aren’t right. The Lord is still working on me too *y'all, and I can admit when I need help.

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?
Is there anyone else out there that can relate?

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.
Can anyone out there relate?

“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?”
Be Blessed *Y’all.

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!
Be Blessed Y’all.
Be Blessed Y’all.

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!"
