I guess my questions is, what made you think it was cool to just live ya life recklessly?? You're sittin' at the "beautiful gate" of possibility, and instead of just walkin' in on your own, you've decided it would be better to just take your mat and sit there beggin' for somebody else's increase! GET UP!
Whatsoever God purposes and creates, He also gives the ability to FULFILL it's purposes! It's already in you. The reason it may not be functioning is because you haven't activated it with The Holy Spirit! The Holy Spirit is that deposit to your DP&L (Power & Light)! If you don't have your "Holy Deposit", YOU WILL just be sitting in the dark, in a building that has the ABILITY to have Light, but hasn't been activated! Why would God make a thing, but then make it impossible for it to fulfill its purposes? Doesn't even sound right. That's because He'd never do that.
So why you spend your time getting wasted, seeking one dumb suicidal thrill after another, you totally missed it! Don't you realize that it will never be enough? You keep trying to find the next fix and the next because it's really not doing the trick! Let me say this plainly, the only thing that will EVER bring you joy, satisfaction, peace, pleasure, excitement, love and fulfillment is JESUS!! The ONLY thing! Not ya man/woman... not your promiscuous ways, not your husband/wife, not your children, mother, father, sister brother uncle nephew neice granny gramps playcousin playmama babydaddy sugadaddy/mama MONEY DRUGS & HOES (oh my!)- NOBODY BUT JESUS!! When you stop making these people and things your God, only then will you begin to know true peace and contentment.
The funniest thing happens when people achieve the "things" they thought would make them happy. When they get it and find out that they still have a gaping hole in their inner being, they become further depressed and desperate. They think, "I thought THIS would make me happy... what am I going to do??"... the word says, "What profit a man to gain the whole world, but lose his own soul!" That is a sad day. When you finally get the man you've been searching for, the house, the picket fence dog & child, only to discover that you're still the same old wretched self that you were before!
God is the only one that can make things right! On facebook, I feel so sad. I see so many beautiful women on there, with absolutely no sense of self worth. If she thinks you're sexy enough, she'll give you the booty, even though she may make you wait a little bit to try and "appear" as if she's not easy. Look at what the world has taught you sis! It has taught you that marriage is no longer something to wait for and if you like him, just give all of your treasure to him. This is why so many of my sisters are obliterated at the end of a relationship that has no contract! You're essentially giving away your most precious gems to somebody that has signed no contract to care for it, so if they damage it in any way, there are no repercussions. You wouldn't do this with money, so why would you do it with your body or life?
Why? Because your own life demonstrates that money & cars are more important than you!
Get ya weight up! You're LOSING this race....

Expect the Unexpected... in The Valley.
The scene: I'm sittin' here, Jasmine incense filling my nostrils, twirling the swollen kinks in my long hair. Feeling calm. This season has been an extremely interesting one. I've been walking with my Savior, allowing Him to show me every tactic that the enemy uses against us. Some were "AHA" moments, some were complete discoveries. This, however---> totally unexpected.
Over the past few days, the Lord has been revealing to myself and my husband, that the weapons we've used in the past were ineffective. I mean, not just ineffective... more like USELESS! Imagine my surprise when the Lord is flat out saying things like, "This is why you lose".... yeah... with the FAT 'L' on my forehead. Although, I was aware of the fact that the weapons we're supposed to fight with, aren't the human weapons we're used to, I have apparently still been using said weapons, expecting to win.
Anger-
[Eph. 26-27]
"Go ahead and be angry. You do well to be angry—but don't use your anger as fuel for revenge. And don't stay angry. Don't go to bed angry. Don't give the Devil that kind of foothold in your life."
I was out for revenge. I wanted to "get" satan... like, what does that even look like?? Who can even tell me what it looks like to "get" satan?? I don't even know what that fool looks like, let alone "get" him... and when I did "GET" satan... what was I gonna do to him? Foolishness!! I wasn't just angry though... angry is a pretty and frilly word to describe a current state of being upset about something. I was BITTER!! Bitter is more of a BOTTOM LINE state of being. I mean just chew on a bucket of ice cold lemons with NO salt and you'll begin to see what I mean --->that was me. I don't even know why I'm saying "was" because the way I see it, this is gonna take a while. Here I've been seething mad at satan, as if bitterness and anger alone was gonna make him stop messing with me. Much like the way dogs growl at those they feel are a threat to them. Let me break this down:
More times than not, anger comes from fear. Have you ever met somebody that was sooooooooooooo mean to people, but when you really got to know them, they're the sweetest person you've ever met? They are that way because of fear. If they can intimidate people enough, then people won't too much mess with them, or discover just how soft they are and possibly hurt them in some way. Afraid to love, afraid to be hurt... just afraid. So... it comes out in anger.
That was me. I've spent just about my whole existence in fear of loving people and life, the way I should because I've been hurt so badly along the way. Now I see it this way: Being mean, makes me a punk. Loving with my whole heart, even when faced with being badly hurt, makes me brave. I'm learning to be brave.
On the fighting front: Love is the strongest weapon we have in the whole GAMUT of weapons! 1 John 4:17-18 -There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear. If the reason for my anger and bitterness is fear... then this scripture points to love as my cure. You can NOT, I repeat, CANNOT cure your own heart. If you could, it would've been taken care of a long time ago! Who wants to live like this?? The only way for it to be done at all, is for God to do this one all on His own. Luke 16:15- He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts..."...

I don't know my heart. So here I am, understanding that number one, If I want to fight and win, I'm gonna have to love HARD!! Number two- my fight is not to square up with satan and think that it's goin' down like that, rather, my fight is to stay in line with God and what He has for me. To deny the enemy access to me through his many efforts and means to trip me up. This has been the main idea of this Valley Battle series that I've been in: That Love is and will always be the ONLY thing that conquers and obtains the victory.
God is the only one that can make things right! On facebook, I feel so sad. I see so many beautiful women on there, with absolutely no sense of self worth. If she thinks you're sexy enough, she'll give you the booty, even though she may make you wait a little bit to try and "appear" as if she's not easy. Look at what the world has taught you sis!
