Prayer Analysis 05/06/2011
According to the New Bible Dictionary, prayer is worship that includes all the attitudes of the human spirit in its approach to God: Adoration, Confession, Praise, and Supplication. For me, it is a privilege that God makes available for us to commune together verbally, emotionally, mentally and physically to express praise, concerns, requests, thanksgiving, and adoration. To boldly come imperfect, honest, open, and humble, regardless of how I feel or the present circumstances, trusting that His unconditional love and promises will prevail.
Intercessory Prayer: To lift up another person or situation in prayer; To go to God on behalf of someone else in order to help them through their life situations; To take on another’s life issues and keep them before God as they fight through spiritual warfare; To allow the Holy Spirit to work through you to pray about specific needs in any and every area. How To Resurrect Your Dreams 12/06/2009
Resurrection Is A Lifestyle - LIVE IT!
Are you suffering from the heart sickness of a dream deferred? If so, the resurrection of your hope is at hand. Resurrection is not limited to the Easter season; it can be an everyday experience as in the motto coined by the St. Paul Community Baptist Church: “Resurrection is a Lifestyle – LIVE IT!” Each time you endure and persevere through another year, you are an overcomer, who has been given an opportunity to live another day and contribute to making a difference with your life. With each new day, you have a chance to begin again, continue on, tap into your creative force and realize your divine self. If your dreams have been held captive by fears and insecurities too long, apply the following principles for your liberation and success. Now is the time and this is the season to resurrect your dreams and make them live! 1. Know And Embrace Your Dream. When you have a constant and strong desire or interest that has been rooted in your heart and thoughts, embrace it. If it has followed you into each New Year, acknowledge it as your dream, your heart’s desire, and determine to pursue it to see what the end is going to be. Put forth 100% effort. In doing so, you will extinguish any regrets of never trying or ever knowing if your dream could be realized. 2. Know And Embrace Yourself. Know that you have been blessed with at least one gift, talent, ability, and unlimited potential. Step into your future with hope of the peace, prosperity and security that is yours. If you can believe and look for it wholeheartedly, you will find it. Everything you need to make your dream a reality is already within you. Dream Again
Have you identified your talents, gifts, and abilities? Is there an activity that fills you with joy and motivates you to engage in out of sheer pleasure? Do you have a strong liking for or a deep interest in anything in particular? Has God sowed a vision in the core of your spirit that took root and continues to tug at your heart and resurface in your mind? What career path would you take if neither money nor fear were a consideration? If you have not asked or answered these questions for yourself, now is the perfect opportunity to begin an honest self-inventory. Get still and quiet before God to inquire about His plan and purpose for your life. Release past disappointments and embrace the Spirit of power, love and a sound mind that He has given to us. When we take the time to spiritually ponder our course and make choices based on the right reasons, instead of other people’s opinion or our personal fears and limited thinking, we become open and available to the wisdom and direction of God’s leading. The peace, prosperity, and contentment of success are ensured by aligning ourselves with the Creator and pursuing our calling and life’s purpose. My Prolonged Process To Publication 12/06/2009
An Extended Process
God blessed me to publish my first book of poetry entitled, ON SOLID GROUND: Inspirational Poetry For All Occasions. All of the poems are God inspired and are based on His word with a scripture reference for each one. I may have written the words, but God spoke them to my spirit to help encourage, heal and celebrate others as well as myself. I have been asked how long it took me to write the book and I always have to pause before I respond because: 1. The oldest poem in the book was written while I was in college in 1982 and the newest poem was written in February 2008, so the book is reflective of over 20 years of experiences with people, places, situations, events, and occasions; 2. I compiled the original manuscript in 2000 and allowed fear, insecurity, lack of publishing knowledge, distractions and procrastination to keep me from following through. However, I always intended to return to the manuscript to edit it and add scripture references; How To Prepare For A Victorious Marriage 12/06/2009
Truth or Consequences
Many people happily enter into marriage with the hope that it will last a lifetime. Unfortunately, some couples are so preoccupied with the immediate benefits of marriage that they fail to thoroughly weigh the realisms involved in a lifetime commitment. Upon examining my own premarital experience, I offer the following suggestions on how to prepare for a victorious marriage and a poetic narrative on subsequent lessons learned when you don’t. Seek God’s Approval: Daily strengthen your communication with God by praying, meditating, and reading the Bible. Ask God for insight and listen for God’s answer. If you are being open and honest about your relationship with that special someone, you will know in your spirit whether or not God approves. Be obedient to God’s instruction because lifetime decisions without God’s direction can lead to disastrous results. Evaluate The Relationship: Consider your motives in marrying: Are they the right ones? Have you developed a real friendship, and do you communicate with one another or is most of your time spent getting physical? Do the similarities between the two of you outweigh the differences? The Relationships Of Life 12/06/2009
Friends and Couples
Everyone was created to be in harmonious relationship with God, self, and others as stated in Matthew 22:37-39, “Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.” Getting to know our Creator and His guidelines is a prerequisite to knowing and loving ourselves, and having the ability to demonstrate that love to others. This article gives some insight and instruction concerning divine relationships between friends, couples, husbands and wives, and parents and children. Relationships between friends or romantically involved men and women can lead to emotional discord when a person does not have positive self-esteem or a sense of completeness without a desperate need of being in a relationship to feel whole or valued. It is crucial to be satisfied in your singleness and individuality in order to experience healthy, happy relationships with yourself and others. Marriage: Love Poems and Principles 12/06/2009
