Long Lovely Life

Have you made a conscious decision to align your beliefs concerning a long prosperous life with those of Our Lord?
Let’s not take our precious life for granted.As we give thanks daily and we should good stewards concerning our well being .I’m ignited and come into agreement with these amazing truths in which I joyfully share with you today …

And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
Genesis 6:3 -AMEN!!!!!

Even in judgement man life shall be 120 yrs. of healthy prosperous life.Jesus is Grace and although we have been lead to believe the contrary of a short,stressful life .I bring you good news beloved .
Our bodies are designed to live at least 120 yrs. isn’t this great news-if you don’t think it’s true ;you’re right . Because you become what we choose to BELIEVE .

Remain alive,Moses lived to 120 years old and he was under the law.And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.Deuteronomy 34:7

What more does our Lord will give unto us under grace .I’m excited about Gods blessings of a long healthy and prosperous life .I can recall years ago when I accepted a prophecy what I would live a very long and lively life .I sealed this prophecy with -Amen.

Moses wrote Psalm 91:6
With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
So if you choose to pray Lord receive me back earlier than others -Our God
9 “For this is like the waters of Noah to Me;
For as I have sworn
That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth,
So have I sworn
That I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you. Isaiah 53:9

17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is-from Me,”Sayeth The Lord Isaiah 54:17

God is not angry with us beloved God loves us. Jesus went to the cross for us and …. ‘It is finished.’ With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.” (John 19:30)

We are the righteous of Christ. Yes the world may be in turmoil yet we grab hold to all the promises of our Lord and savior .

See here as in the book if Isaiah 54:9 which comes AFTER Isaiah 53

“For this is like the waters of Noah to Me;
For as I have sworn
That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth,
So have I sworn
That I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.

Our God has not lied to us,I pray now that your faith fail you not.Don’t get dismayed by placing our faith in man over GOD. God can’t lie to us,so I rejoice and celebrate these truths.

Today there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus(GRACE)

Even if we fail beloved and perhaps sin that sin we may have just committed is forgiven ;so we sinless knowing Christ Jesus died for all of our sins. God is just and righteous.

May Gods love shine upon you.

In his satisfying love ,

Bren💞

There is a time for that too 🌄

Ecclesiastes 3:1-9 (NIV)
A Time for Everything

3 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

How do you love thyself?

One of the most valuable life lessons that I’ve learned along this journey has been to create a habit of l💕ving myself….God is good and God is l💞ve.
L💕ve is so powerful it’s deep and provides healthy healing .I look into my mirror daily and L💞ve myself.

I am almost certain that it is difficult or almost impossible to freely give limitless l💞be to others if I can’t sincerely l💕ve myself.

Search yourself on today….if we ever want pure loving relationships then we first must become L💗VE.

Thank you for taking your precious time to like to c🌞mment,like🌷& sh💌re my post.

May your life be immensely bl🌠ssed.

R & R from the inside out

Image

 

Yes many are troubled on every side….we here daily about the hard economical times,horrific stories in the news,personal or even family frustrations can often way us down.As believers we must step outside our the world of worries seek after the wisdom of our Lord.We can’t ignore the reality that crisis may come at an unexpected any moment so I practice So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.

2 Cor 4:18

Image

…I’m perplexed yet I’m not in despair.

Reference- II Corinthians 4:18

1Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart,2but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.3And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,4in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.5For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus’ sake.6For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
    7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;8we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;9persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;10always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.11For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.12So death works in us, but life in you.
    13But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I BELIEVED, THEREFORE I SPOKE,” we also believe, therefore we also speak,14knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and will present us with you.15For all things are for your sakes, so that the grace which is spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound to the glory of God.
    16Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.17For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,18while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

 

 

Our weakness keep us needing God more and more.

Keep HOPE alive

Have you given up on that dream or promise from God on your life? Has the enemy crept in and somehow deferred your hope? Hope can be defined as a desire accompanied by expectation. If by chance you’ve given in to the enemy in his plight to steal your hope ….please continue to read and be encouraged beloved.

image

    I want to remind you that there is a supernatural power in HOPE. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the the plans I have for you,”declares the Lord,”plans to prosper ypu and not to harm you,plans to give You hope and a future.” Our Father wants us to have hope for our future no matter what circumstances we may currently be experiencing.God reminds us that our future is attached to our hope. Hebrew 11:1 “Now faith is the assurance of the things (we) hope for,being the proof of things(we) do not see and the conviction of their reality…faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.”
So if we go through life without hoping_or anticipating God to do what He said that He would do-then our faith is hindered. Faith is assurance of the things we hope for.
So just in case life has lead you down a direct or associated path that has deferred your hope…I want to encourage you to grab hold of the “rope of hope” Gods Word-the bible is so much more than a book it’s a life line. In the book of Romans 15:13, ” May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him,so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” God wants us filled with his power and his hope. When the enemy(satan) steals our hope with the distractions in life he can easily steal our joy. But look Nehemiah 8:10 And remember,the joy of the Lord is your strength. Far to many people including Christian become burned out,tired and feeling defeated. This is why we must associate with others who can build us up,encourah us and pray for one another in our weakness.
No matter what you are experiencing on today-KEEP HOPE ALIVE.
Prayer:

Our Father in Heaven we come to you now to shower you with Thanksgivings for our life.You are our Creator,Master,Father,Savior  and Redeemer we need your love and grace to make it throw this journey on earth.Father revive us again,renew our souls,we ask that your presence in our life is revealed at this moment.Restore our hope and increase our faith.Thank you Father in Jesus name we pray.Amen.

What if I loved my neighbor as I loved myself?

I’d easily allow that impatient neighbor racing out of his/her driveway each morning instead of cutting he/she off

I’d certainly allow that driver ahead me the right away on a four-way intersection as a few sections in time will not alter my pathway

I’d gladly allow that customer who has on a few items to go before me in line since I’m shopping for a family/friends  of 20 for Thanksgiving Feast

I’m not going to partake in any activities that would downgrade or suggest that I’m not a lover of all mankind

Perhaps none of these situations apply so ponder the ideas of ,” When we selflessly love our neighbors,we are expressing our love for GOD.-Marvin Williams

I can certainly learn to accept the difference sin others since that last time I recalled all humans need AIR,FOOD,LOVE,WATER ,RELATIONSHIPS & RESOURCES$  to survive [not in any particular order]

My heart smile as I stroll the city and I don’t allow the immaturity or thoughtfulness of others to change my decision to love myself and others

I’m calmer now and far from being judgmental as I’ve come to realize that WE are so much alike .It’s actually funny when far to many partake in  wasting precious times depicting the few differences instead “Let us agree to disagree . Let each of you look out not only for his own interests,but also for the interests of others -Phillippians 2:4

“This wisdom descendants not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.” (James 3:15-17)

Why prayer? Well I have seen numerous of circumstances turn around during or after prayers and of course .

James said that the prayer of a righteous man “avails much” James 5:16-18vsb

smiles are priceless

PRAYER:

“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.” (John 17:20-21)We ask that you mold our     minds ,reshape our hearts and lead our paths to love you,ourselves and others. Amen.

Unity enhances and extends our influence to our world, which in turns  creates more opportunities to share, teach and possibly convert others to LOVE. If we care about reaching others, then we will also care about being unified with others . It’s a decision that we all can choose and began to practice .As I’ve always said perfect practice makes perfect.

Imagine that……..

What if I loved first and fear was rarely revealed or better yet actually shunned upon? I believe that there are only two emotions the most significant and powerful LOVE and FEAR.

When I speak of love I’m not referring to a misconstrued falsehood of  butterflies in the belly or a rapid heart beat that skips as I call to remembrance a particular ,person,place or thing. As we can surely see LOVE has been abused.A common idea is that love is a warm or strong desire to be with or even satisfied by someone or something. I also have seen that many tend to equate love to that act of caring deeply or devoted giving . Often times we use the term “love ” way to loosely. For example. I just “love “that hair color or I “love” those shoes. I feel that these are really caring and one can surely care about someone or something and not love them. This takes me to the question at hand so what is “LOVE”?
If we love based on biblical principles then it’s safe to say Love is a driving force of everything that we do. FEAR the second emotion is the total opposite.
 
So If I love someone ,would I harm them? ….would I murder others with my words or actions….would I tear them down with my stares or preconceived prejudices….would I turn a deaf ear to those in need…would I cover my eyes to the sick,homeless,hopeless or broken hearted….would I steal someone’s joy by failing to lift them up ,support one another or care for the needs of family and/or friends….would I covet my neighbor who let’s say has the perfect head of hair, glowing skin,handsome loving husband,1% body fat,drives a cool car,vacations every season,serves on 3 local community committees and is also the Home Owners Association president who never seems to have a problem in the world?…would I post subliminal comments on twitter in hopes of that one followers who I secretly despise & jealous of ; would really get his act together, by reading my PEOPLE FIX ’em upper post.{Actually He’s living my dream life.  I’m silently jealous}
 
So If love acts as a bond in our lives. I feel that evil often reflected by fear ,where scandals of competitiveness, anger,guilt,slander and  foul talk shows its ugly head. These are traits that separate and divide one another. Which ultimately leads to destruction . 

I sometimes wonder how sweet life on earth would be if  we loved one another regardless of how others treat us. So I found myself in this question and answer session that went a little something like this….many of these questions were collected over so time.I’ve compiled them below …so beloved I ask you to read through the questions allow your minds to ponder the possibility of
What if____?
So of course we are not perfect beings ,yet if we we are more conscious and actually made it a daily agenda to actively live a life in love. Just as Christians practice to live by the nature of GOD. So every activity of God is loving. He created in love,He rules in love. He judges in love. He blesses in love. Everything God does is an expression of His nature_LOVE.
 
 I want the heart of God how do I go about changing or softening my harden heart. Only by knowing God can I truly receive this new nature of love. By learning His nature and what He is like. I fellowship with Him and surround myself with others who live a life in love. Of course we are not androids and we have free will. We can choose ….do I choose to love or be controlled by fear. So take the test answer (a) love  promotes or creates  (b) fear-produce or disseminate
 
  • 1. SOLD sign appears on lawn of property 2 houses down. Weeks later a multi-racial family including 5 children ages ranges 4-16 years old. You’re single/no /children/prime of your life …do you immediately consider relocating or welcome the opportunity of mentor-ship &/or leadership opportunity?
  • 2. Local news reports ” Local female known for previous arrests for solicitation was found brutally beaten and stripped of her clothing behind a local restaurant,do you feel compassion or flip the channel “Thinking that’s what she asked for?
  • 3. Perhaps a particular intersection is always overflowing with panhandlers so you travel 5 miles out-of-the-way to avoid seeing such bombs or peasants on such a beautiful sunny day
  • 4. A local charity is accepting donations to assist in rehabilitating schools in lower socioeconomic neighbors…you fail to donate ..Those people should get a job and rebuild their own school. Of course they should , but do we think rationally ?many are low skilled, have no direction or lack of parenting skills or even worse little political representation so therefore tax dollars rarely are allocated to their school districts
  • 5. As I wait to be seated along with my family at a local restaurant, I notice a Mother of four children who instead of requesting a table advise the hostess that she wants 2 bowls of soups to go,”Kids whisper Mommy may I have a burger and fires?she replies”Not this time Mommy only has money for soup,we all will have to share”….what is my response?__________
 
Of course many may never ever experience any of these scenarios,however we all experience life. Each and everyday we are thrown numerous opportunities to express love. We live in a society in where we can choose to act out in “love” or turn a deaf ear,hate or adjust our attitudes based on stereotype(s) and act out of fear which is derived by “hate”.
 
I ask on today what emotion will you choose  love or fear ? We have to constantly check our hearts; are there parts of myself that tend to be bitter,rude,insensitive,boastful,nagging,moody,insecure,negative or searching to tear down one another character by ripping constantly digging up each others faults or short comings.Do we seek out every opportunity after a meeting or family gathering to gossip? If by chance you saw yourself in the mirror above and have a desire for change. It’s not to late nor is it going to be as simple as clicking our heels and BAM! we are lovers of all men” However,it’s a challenge. So ,if you’re like myself,you welcome a good challenge. Take on this challenge to be a lover of all . Surely we can show love coldly ,reluctantly os even ,in dutiful obedience. We can show love joyously, with enthusiasm and warm hearted as a true devotion. Which is more appealing?
 “Above all else,guard your heart,for everything you do flows from your heart. Proverbs 4:23 Love 
 
Prayer: Heavenly Father today I acknowledge that I have some shortcomings, and I’ve not loved as I know that I should.I want to be delivered from the fears or jealousy I now recognize which I no longer desire.I ask that you renew my heart and take the pain away.I want to love without expectancy.As of today I surrender this pressures today,I now walk in confidence that I will live a life of love.Thank you in advance. Amen.

Ministry is NOT just for ministers….we all can spread goodness

Let’s think here so

If we are all an idea , which were created by a SOURCE…how can we truly leave our source.Is it because many choose not to believe-build walls that separate us from GOD love or believe deceptive thoughts patterns which magnifies that super EGO{doubt,hate,fear,insecurity,super hero syndrome,superiority,insensitivity….this list goes on& on] …so do these experiences really separate us(an idea/creations) from our SOURCE /Creator? Or is it they have built wall of separation that we need to tear down layer by layer

Feeling despair,hopeless or better yet on top of the world~everything is peachy king  BUT if there is a separation from the SOURCE ,seek to reconnect now.For as a fish out of water ,an idea(human souls) can’t successfully survive outside of our SOUCRE.

A whisper will do…”GOD your peace I need now,I receive your love today and in my heart as you bless me I’ll share it with others.I surrender my all to you . Amen”

I’m honored our spirits have crossed-Peace & Love!

What happens when others who need IT the most….

There’s something deep down in my soul that causes me to keep going on. I mean let’s be honest,”Why should I care about the health of others?” “It’s not like I have to be responsible for their consequence of their lifestyles,Right?” Unfortunately this is not the case…..I know the brokenness that I’ve endured-feelings of failure-of hopelessness. Which lead to self hate,in a sense.All because I couldn’t come to grips and stay on track___.

  • I Care because I’ve been morbidly obese.
  • I Care because I’ve lived a lifestyle that did not reflect the Queen that lived so deep within me.She -Her-yes I was always apart of where I’m going.Perhaps,overshadowed by FEAR.
  • I Care because I know how it feels to live in a society that socially accepts proportion and skinny with intellect and power
  • I Care because far to many will turn a deaf ear and may even sacrifice a Better Quality of Life _mainly because of the adaptive lifestyle that is comfortable but not satisfying
  • I Care because my hearts is vulnerable and loves so widely.  She Cares-Its Her heart-I Care!
