| -This is for the whitney houstons, the alicia keyes, the LL Cool J's, who work in secular entertainment and are annointed.
-this is for the the prostitutes , the crackheads, the gays, the lesbians, the witches and warlocks that are too.....anointed.
How did I come up with this thought? I was watching the celebration of gospel and the pharisee in me (we all got one) rose up and said look at all those heathens that think because they are singing gospel . Trinitee 5:7 came on and they were doing what they were doing and I was like "that ain't holy". We've all did it. But then Mary Mary came on with LL Cool J and I sensed anointing on him. I think sometimes we as christians have the "we got it" but is not God bigg enough to move everywhere else and the church? For some of these people who don't go to church or may not be christians to experience the prescence of God, for the annointing that is on these men and women of God who are singing can go into their lives, convict them of sin, heal their bodies, or even deliver them? or does he just move in his on house with just Christians? This totally changes my concept and convicts me of the religion that was on my mind. is there balance? yes, you shouldn't have people that say one thing and do another as some in entertainment does. but can not God be big enough to do a work even on bet? So this is all those who don't know them who is anointed and don't know it.....it's time for the harvest....even on BET. God Bless.

Hello everyone. check this quote out.
I had a very specific person pictured as I wrote this: a young pastor - 27 to 30ish - who's been serving and trying to grow a congregation, and then realizes he's actually growing a portion of the People of God.
I think we in ministry forget that we are growing an organsim, not an idea or edifice. Church is changing for me as usual I'm beginning to question some stuff. I believe God asks us questions in order for us to ask questions. That's deep.lol just kidding. how is God challenging you to change a mentality?

| What's up? I've been slow about doing this but finals are coming up and thanksgiving was great without work, so here i am posting some new pics.
I got the nerve to do a "wash and go" in other words I washed it, rinsed it, then let it alone. It's funny to get some of the looks I've gotten when people see me and see my hair. the funny thing is white people love it, but I've had to deal with the people who are wrapped up in this image of the old me (preppy shadow fade me). I've learned this past week to learn to love me for me, to step out and take some risks, to keep my nappy head up and to enjoy the journey. My motives have been checked. Even my ego has been a little puffed up (not to much just a good healthy bit lol) In other words I like it, it's different. But isn't that the essence of faith, to take risks in order for you to see God do something awesome. Bill Johson talks about that in his book, "when heaven invades earth". God blesses risks! so, what you waiting for, take some.
My hair is starting to coil up. I'm interested in the coils so I play with them, I think it is called, "hand in fro" disease. So i'm looking to get the twists in January. Be blessed everyone, and remember take risks, great people walked by risks (faith) | | |
| Man, i'm feeling inadequate today. Actually it started a few days ago. I lost my "hoop" when I had just started preaching.. For those of you who are not familiar with African preaching traditions, it is the "song" at the end of a sermon that most black preachers do...........except me. I love the hoop, i love to hear good call and response preaching but I want mine back. Does it take away from the annointing, no it doesn't. All this started when I started comparing my preaching style (which is quite effective) with someone who does the hoop. It doesn't take anything away from my annointing to not do it, it's just something that is fun to do. lol. I know, stupid right? I just got kicked in the butt, but there is something that makes me feel a bit inadequate. You know those blogs that tell you how great God is working through someone and the miracles that they are seeing, etc etc etc, and it makes you think, "what do they have that I don't have. Now, I know what you might say, "that's you comparing yourself with with someone else" and that is true, but sometimes, does that not make you hungry for what they got? I mean, Paul (in the bible) was caught up to the third heavens and saw things he could not even talk about (did paul operate in revelations he couldn't talk about? that's another blog), that kind of makes me want to check out a third heaven. Next thing, Is christianity a hard religion? what do you mena? I mean do we make it hard. All the rules, regulations, what to do, what not to do, the seven steps to this, the eight steps to that..........................It makes me want to scream!!! I personally long for relationship without rules and walls and steps and progressions. I just want to know that God loves me, that I love him, that I didn't have to pray eight hours and fast 4 days awake in order to be used and to know him intimately. I want a simple christianity that is based on love. I mean isn't that the idea of the bible? Is that the idea of God in the Garden of Eden that he wanted man for fellowship? Where did I go wrong? Where did I forget about relationship and begin to operate out of the law instead of God? Did not grace and truth come thru Jesus? Then why am I not experiencing it.? I know, a lot of random questions. I honestly want to start all over, go back to the first week I became a christian. I'm a religious christian. Everything is based in the fact that I have to instead of let me do this because I love you. In the words of Matt Redman, I really want to get to the heart of worship where it's all about him, and it's not about winning brownie points with God so he'll bless me. Starting today, I pray that God does a work in me, that everything that is based on the shifting sand of religion will begin to be built upon a rock of love and grace. I was reading this guy blog from Bethel in Redding named David, and his christianity and love of God seemed to simple and the question rose up in me that said, "It can't be that simple. Is it really all the struggle? Everyone got issues, I don't care how much you speak in tongues, after you finish, you still got to deal with you. But does he really mean that grace and truth came thru Jesus, are that's just something that sings good and preaches good? | | |
