Repentance is not a bad word. IT is actually a liberating one that will bring you into a place of true freedom. Although it may be unpopular to do in this day that we live in, it is a necessity of life. In our churches we have often limited the altar and the call to repentance to those who do not know Christ and have never had a personal relationship with Him. However as the bible beseeches us to die daily and to crucify the flesh, we must acknowledge the fact that we fail and come short of God's glory daily. Now this repentance is not an act of redoing what was already done at the time we accepted the Lord into our lives, but it is one that keeps our heart in check. The altar as my Pastor would say "is our friend." It gives us the opportunity to come before the Lord and burn up the ugly, stinking, filthy flesh and it's ungodly motives and ways. When we sin, it is time to confess to the Father in order to maintain our ability to access His throne. God is not impressed by our talents and gifts seeing that He gave them to us, neither our chiseled chests, and bodacious bods, seeing that he shaped and formed us in His likeness. Whatever we are and will be, He put the potential in us. So because he knows us anyway, despite the humility required to do it, repentance is needed to keep us near Him. Yeah, you have been around the church for a while, and yes, the worship team has included your vocal talents for the last 5 years, and you have studied your word and know the names of God, but now it's time to get real and get it right. If you've been living life, and operating in ministry with unrepented sin, it's time you began walking in the true liberty of salvation. Iniquity and unrepentance will block your prayers and cause God's ears to be shut to YOU. Truth is it's really on you. He CAN hear, but the refusal to repent violates the relationship. It's not a secret, or hidden remedy....just do it and watch your life change TODAY!

Can you Hear me NOW?
What you experience is not all misfortune and bad luck. I know the folks at the job and the shows on T.V., maybe even some family members have gotchu thinking that every bit of not so pleasant news is the work of something evil and unfavorable towards you. However, your life is more than just a twirling twig falling from a tree. You have been made in the likeness and the image of God. Your life has genuine purpose. These experiences are working a more perfecting thing in you. It is the chipping away at dead and undesirable pieces that have become affixed to your way of thinking and moving that is taking place. The Lord wants to draw you closer to Him..You can look at yesterday's trial and last week's test as an unfortunate event, but I'd like to submit to you that God just might be trying to tell you something....and like Eli told Samuel....The next time He speaks.....say Yes Lord I hear You NOW!!!

Tomorrow is now - Just do it!
I know this place does not resemble beauty or grace. You have passed on many good ideas, and pushed off some fascinating adventures, only to continue down the same path you were familiar with. Momma and Daddy or even the Pastor, saints and friends all said this was the best road to take. You played it safe and kept on the path that seemed to lead to sure joy and happiness. You watched as many drifted off and tried new things and have enjoyed the pleasures and excitement of a life full of thrills and tantalizing thrills. You however have enjoyed safety and covering from all of the destructive pressures of the world around you. At least that's what you've been telling yourself for the last 15 years. And you finally wake up from all of this and look in the mirror at yourself and say, "My life is soooooo boring, and I have yet to find what i am really looking for. Where is the passion, and where is the joy? Will love ever find me, cause I haven't found it?" Truth is, your life begain to change directions the moment your feet got word from your brain to head towards the mirror and begin speaking to yourself.. Now the crucial time comes in what it is you say back to yourself. First know that it is no accident that you have been brought to this point, and that all you see behind you is pushing you forward cheering you towards purpose and destiny. The process that you've been through, has given you great perspective for what is coming into your life next. This next phase of living could only be approached from the position you are standing in now. So, whether you are surrounded by a crowd, standing in a lonely place, being loved, or looking for a lover, if your bank welcomes you, or if you welcome the thought of being able to use a bank, if you are close to God, or running back to Him, none of it has been in vain..and you can use every last bit of yesterday for assurance of God's love and grace for you...and start today cause you've go what you need for your Tomorrow! Just do it!

Living is in this Year, Go get your life back!
Here’s an exercise for a new beginning:
Start by listing all the people in your life that have made any contribution to your growth whether they were sweet about it and meant you well or if they were nasty and mean and wanted you to fail. Write every name down, and how they have influenced what you do in life, where you are in life, and what you’ve learned through life. For the mean and nasty, write a general letter that says thank you for being the obstacle in my life that made me work harder, think different, go another way, move to another place, and just plain wake up. To the sweet and supportive, wirte one that says thank you for helping remember that I could be better, do better, live better, and think higher. Send it to yourself in the mail via snail mail, two letters, two envelopes, and then place them in a place unopened. Whenever you need to remind yourself of your worth and whether you’re headed in the right direction, just unseal the letters,open them up and read about where you’ve come from and what it took to get you here. It will remind you of the road past and strengthen you for the road ahead. Be blessed and encouraged. Know that everything you’ve faced is only making you for your greater tomorrow. DOn’t go past it, or over it, plw through and overcome it. You can, you will, you shall, you must, SURVIVE!!!!!!

Close enough to be Kissed!
In this hour where we have the wonderful gift of having the word delivered to us in every possible way, let us not limit the frequency and variety of our worship. The Word remains the same in all it's many methods of delivery. Whether it be spoken over the pulpit, heard on the radio, read in the bible by your eyes, in a track or pamphlet, sung in a melody, or emailed over the information super-highway, it get's there with full strength and power. God loves a worshiper and only requires that he or she who worships does so in Spirit and in Truth...Please do not allow the traditionalism or religious repetitions cause you to refrain from intimacy with the one who knows you thru and thru....It is He who has called you to come closer to Him after He himself tore apart the veil that once separated u from Him. It is as a bride who's veil has been now removed and is awaiting the kiss of the groom...come closer.

What A Waste!!!
One life to live and that’s it. That’s all you’ve got. You can’t get the time back that you’ve already lived and spent, and you can’t live tomorrow’s life because it has not come yet. All you have is what sitting in front of you now. What do you do with what you have? This message is a reminder to us all that even though we may feel that there are plenty of reasons to sit back and allow our gifts and talents to lie asleep while others carry on, let remind you that you’ve only got one shot at life. What is it that you are waiting for? A prefect day to step up and use your gift will never come. I’m not sure if people are sitting back waiting for an invitation to life or are they just plain refusing to come to the party. Whatever it is, the bottom line to me is What a Waste! A gift and talent that is given an unused is like a beautiful desert that sits without anyone anywhere to indulge them and devour it. It’s made for eating, but no one’s eating it. A gift does not do you or anyone else any good if it’s unused. If you’ve got love, give it, if you’ve got inspiration share it. If you’ve got insight enlighten others. If you’ve got talents use them!

You might be insane!
I was watching a movie last night and phrase I heard really stuck out to me and I had to share it. To paraphrase it, it was basically saying that a person has got to be insane to be living working and remaining in any situation and or relationship where they are being merely tolerated, and not celebrated, when they are themselves fully aware of the gifts, talents and potential that lies within. When You chose to continue doing the exact same thing, year in and year out, accepting the roles and positions people give you based on there perception of you, then you can be considered insane. It's like possessing the power to turn the lights on in he house, having electricity flowing through the place, and standing near the switch, though never flipping it to the on position, but all the while crying where in that place because of your fear of the dark. Give yourself and everyone else who hears you crying a break...and turn on the lights please....an anointing is only powerful when it is realized, recognized, and responded to. Use watchu got!!!!

I know they Frontin.......Do it anyway!!!
Apologies don't always come and you may never be acknowledge for what you do. That's a fact of life and one to just accept and live on. It is not as important that you receive a formal 'i'm sorry" as it is for you to keep moving. Learn to live above the mess, and use the disappointment as stepping stones to the next level in life. There is a lesson in every bad experience, and in difficult times your muscles of patience, and integrity get a real heavy workout. Let your character be strengthened when your efforts go unmentioned, unnoticed, and misunderstood. Keep doing right when wrong stares you in the face and refuses to acknowledge you exist. Trust and know that your labor of love and selflessness is not going unseen. You will be rewarded and vindication is sure to come. Let your motivation continue to be helping, assisting and sharing compassion and kindheartedness. Whatever the seeds are that you sow is the harvest you can be sure to receive. Be not weary....Reaping time is coming!!!! :)

Yep you're the one I want!!
Stop making excuses for why you cannot do the job. You are definitely the right one for it. No one been ordained to do what you will do but you. The reason you keep dreaming about, thinking about, writing about, talking about, and paying so much attention to that area of ministry is because you are pregnant with a gift and anointing that is ripe for this hour. It has been confirmed time and time again to you and now it is time for you to believe what GOD has spoken, and MOVE!! Remember, He calls, He sends, and then we are expected to GO. I know it seems like they would be better for this but nope....You're the One He Wants....Get to Steppin!!

More than meets the eye.
All that men see when looking at us with the natural eye is not the limit of what we are or who will be. God has invested greatness and limitless potential inside of us. Your present circumstances, state of mind, strengths and weakness have not changed God's mind about using you to accomplish his will. Be assured that He does not repent for gifting you, but wants to bring you to your place of purpose and destiny. You are much more than yesterday, ordained for today, and being prepared for tomorrow. There's sooo much in you.. It's time for a withdrawal!!!

One of A Kind Worship!!!!! (no two are alike)
Your worship is your own individual opportunity for intimacy with God. Resist the temptation to duplicate the worship of another. Your experience with God will contain the secrets and revelations that He wants to share with you about you. In your time of face to face encounter, do not limit the strength of it with routine. You can and you will be changed forever, if you allow your worship to be raw, fresh and personal. Remember Spirit and TRUTH!!!
