The Conversation

You have been blessed with time, talents and success; You mastered your strengths and disguised your weaknesses; You have endless questions about history and the distant future; You know you were born but don't know your purpose; But you won't choose him!  Your relationships seem to ride a roller-coaster and ends tirelessly, time & time again; Your grasp of love is like, oil slipping through your fingers;  Your toys and pleasures surround you but your still lonely; Your wisdom guides your direction but life has you facing; a detour & sometimes a dead end; But you won't choose him! Depression, hatred and lack of forgiveness, stalks you; Memories of pain and hurt recycles and remains, continually reminding you. Regrets increase every time you hear the name of a lost love. Fear grips you in your dreams and alcohol soothes you like comfort from a best friend! But you won't choose him! Power is addictive and your desires increas

Dear Ghetto Life: There was a time I was swayed by your style and creativeness. You taught me how to dress the part and how to speak your lingo. I sang your songs and learned your dance moves and as far as the opposite sex, I learned how to run game on them too! It took me some time being shy and a fighter of small statue but Jr High-school was prime for a break through. My coaches realized I had potential and the uniform fit me well! Schoolmates looked at me differently and I started to gain some respect and things really heated up when news of a Jamerican (American with Jamaican heritage) had a popping (Popular) house party, where a situation erupted causing 3 sisters to turn against each other (Don't ask) Ghetto living was fine, as long as, my parents didn't mind or knew the details. I discovered concealing box cutters in my kicks (Sneakers) worked well but messing with girls in the wrong neighborhoods was dangerous. If I made it home sometimes it was because I was tough

(Please read the original "The Conversation") After Ben (The believer), finished talking to Freddy who broke down and gave his life to Jesus, another man, named Blister, calls out to Ben; Blister(Bl): Ridiculing says, "Can I ask you a question!" Ben, reluctantly turns towards him and realizes it's another mocker of the faith and was considering ignoring and walking away, but instantly, he felt the  H oly S pirit stirring and urging him to go with confidence and assurance. After Ben walks over, Blister replies: What's up guy, Ben...Is it? Ben: Yes! Do I know you? Bl: No, I overheard you talking to that poor soul... Are you a preacher? Ben: Well! If you mean licensed by man, no! But I am ordained by the F ather, S on & H oly S pirit to do his work. Bl: So you don't have a title and your not getting paid, How's that working for you? Ben: Oh! You don't understand, I'm blessed! Blister Smirks and says: "Really! tell me, what&

To the Intelligent, Creative and Unique: Are we accurate and truthful to be called Americans of the land of the bold, honorable and free! If we really all look in the mirror do we like what we see or are we chasing after happiness and freedom. Let me reason with you with a series of questions, for you alone to answer! a) What does an American look like? b) When your adversary tells you that you are ugly, worthless and a failure, do you believe him/her? c) Are you disgusted when a teammate or classmate falls short and causes you to fail? d) Are you aggravated or aggressive during a presidential election year? e) If majority of the politicians elected, lie & steal, does that make you a liar & a thief? f) Does the leaders of America reflect the people of America, status, ideals & creativity? g) If your father is a Republican and your mother is a Democrat, which way do you vote! h) Do you feel America is divided and if so, could you explain

The freedoms we have in America are still the greatest reason why this country is so great! And the ability to change for improvement to enlighten the face of this country is amazing! I heard many opinions about the recent shootings in America and all are valid because it’s from each person’s perspective, so let me share mine. If a person has never been racially profiled, discriminated against or called the “N” word then that person can’t know the fears and humiliation that follows these actions of hate, he/she can’t have the right perspective, the same if a person has never lived in the ghetto or projects or experienced a major crime against him/her.  I grow up with all of this surrounding me and I can tell you the rules are very different than most. If you didn’t dress the part you were rejected, if you didn’t stand up for yours or knew the right people, you were weak and constantly bullied. The law enforcement was the enemy, neighborhoods looked out for each other and snitches we

It has been passed on from generation to generation, as children are taught this phrase "Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones But Words Will Never Hurt Me!" but this is a lie from conception and I will tell you why! Proverbs 18:2(NKJV)                                                                                                                           Death and life are in the power of the tongue And those who love it will eat its fruit. The tongue can build up a person or tear him/her down depending on the intent of the words. If a child is constantly told he/she is a failure (most cases) he/she will lack confidence and struggle in life! It will affect their ability to build relationships and many times get involved with people who would verbally abuse them. ( Appealing to dysfunction ) The tongue can be used as a weapon and pierce the very soul of a person or nation. After all, didn't Satan use words to lure Eve into sin and convinced Adam to follow. From

Smile! The day was prepared for you and the night will not last too long. In one decision your stormy clouds become clear and tears of sadness and fear are turned into gladness and cheer. Love is on the horizon just reach for it! No longer apart of rejection and separation. Christ  is on the case because your outcome has already been determined. Don't you know! Satan lost his rule and hold over you.  When Christ decided to bare the cross, he stepped down from his thrown and camouflaged into human form and freely exchanged his righteousness for your sins. And every chosen person can stand firm on his truth, follow the way and live for eternity, for eternity now resides in you! Smile!  You are accounted for, you are the sparkle in God's eye. You have been redeemed from the consequence of sin, so be in empowered in his righteousness, for you are a new creature and have been freed from the old nature. The beast is dead and the spirit is alive, so realize you have conquered a

If a man saved your life wouldn't you be very grateful because you're alive today! And if he died in the process wouldn't you dedicate your life to honor his heroism. Wouldn't you say this is the highest form of LOVE for a person to sacrifice himself for someone else? What if the person was a stranger with no relations or familiarity with you, how would you live knowing your life only matters because of a honorable sacrifice. What would you do if your child's life was in danger, wouldn't you sacrifice your own to save your child. What If you were a soldier, wouldn't you sacrifice yourself to save your company or country. We, as the people, in the past, present and future have done and will always do heroic actions inspiring generations to admire and follow in their footsteps .  We love inspiring movies and athletes about such acts and adore heroes in our history who have sacrificed so much for our freedoms. But! Are we as a people really showing our gratit

We live in a world filled with unique and able people but are limited because they have yet to truly learn how to love and learn, how to resist forces that want to enslave them  and bend their will to systems motivated by selfishness, self-preservation and self-promotion. These systems create separation between brother and sister and promotes one over the other. If your DNA is human, your blood runs through your veins and you have a heart beat, then we are characterized the same and deserve equality and justice. Now! When man decides and convinces himself that he can control others by craftyness, physical overpowerment or mind manipulation then he is seeking to empower himself. But why? What is it in man that he wants recognition and enforcement of his rules and regulations to force others to follow? What is he hoping to achieve or accomplish? or What desire is he trying to fulfill? Well from the beginning, man has chosen himself and his selfish ambitions and as long as he sees him

If every decision and action were displayed before you on scrolls and every intent measured and balanced, what would be your outcome! Are you a "good person", a "bad person" or are you are just a person doing what is needed to survive by any means necessary. Can you truly say you're happy and fulfilled or are you chasing after shadows and tails? Let us put down religion for a moment and strip back all the obstacles that might be in the way of change. I know you have lost family and some loved ones and you have the right to complain but hear my words, just for a moment! Forget about the intimidating building with a cross at the top, forget about the congregation that may have judged you in the past, forget about the pastor or bishop wearing fancy outfits or shiny jewelry, forget about the church member you saw in a strip joint last week, forget about the old pastor that was caught robbing tithes, forget about politicians that claim to know God but love their t

Son! Do you know who you are? Do you know Christ has set the universe and the heavens just for you! You were created in his likeness, you were held to a higher standard. You have greatness in you and all things are accessible, if you chose it. You were meant to lead, create, multiply and grow in relationship with him. If allowed, he will show his wonders and equip you with anointed armor; From the helmet of salvation, to the sandals of peace, you're a soldier of restoration! It is written, all things are possible through Christ who strengthens you.  (Philippians,4:13) I know your faults keep resurfacing but Christ's Holy Spirit will guide every step of the way. He will increase your wisdom, your patience, your strength, your love and confidence. He will set perfection in you to build your character and teach you how to walk in; his righteousness. He will cleanse your mirror until he sees his reflection and keep your heart in rhythm for his; glorification. Although

                                            Trust (Having Faith in someone or something) is only as strong as the moral fiber in a person, whether a person is responsible for family, friends or involved in a partnership, if he/she doesn't hold a higher moral standard, betrayal is around the corner! The moral standard (Christ's word and guidance) in society has lowered, so people will fall short of the mark and relationships will become harder and harder, especially if one partner has an addiction or dysfunction (Drugs, porn, sex (promiscuousness ) and etc... The desire to satisfy the addiction always rises to the top of priorities regardless of the level of commitment. Many are unaware they're fighting wars (relationships) using physical techniques against spiritual principalities. This is why relationships are unhealthy or failing and please know! Although relationships face betrayal, forgiveness is the only way to eternal peace!  The greater an offense, (disrespect

The beatification , glorification, and completion of a man, was and always will be the woman. From the beginning, the man was incomplete and unaware of his absolute purpose in its fullness but his eyes were opened wider, delightfully seeing his other-half come to life then prophesying, a man shall join his woman for life and bear children to replenish the earth. If a man is the head and the woman is the neck, how can he think he can live or function without her support, gifts, and discernment! If a woman is the main component of man’s perfection and completion of God’s creation, how can she find the fulfillment of purpose without him? Woman! Do you know how resilient and extravagant you are, by God's planted seed came forth Christ Jesus, from a woman? Woman! You’ve endured war, endured loss endured culture, endured discrimination and unfairness, endured factions and deliberate laws against a woman’s advancement endured mock marriages and childbearing pain and endured the har

                                           When your looking in the mirror your pride can be seen from behind your stylish outfit, gleaming with success, at a glance, you stare at your trophies behind you, you know the one that stands out, it has a special sparkle when it’s touched by sunlight! As you reminisce, you pause, almost to tears because you have sacrificed more than you’re willing to share. So many years of dark consequences and you thought it would all go away but your dreams always seem to haunt you, waking you up, late hours in the night with cold sweat perspiring down your back. Your prescriptions keep increasing and you’re tired of appointments with psychiatrists. All your training and schooling is not helping and if you stay on course your liquor cabinet will become your coffin. Everything you’ve tried expires and you’ve realized temporary is hopelessness waiting to happen. It's a hard reality to find out you've been set up and being used for target p

                                      I have a plan to prosper and enrich your soul and make you a beacon of light to draw other souls. I want to set you upright and renew your mind, as my strength in you grows. Don't worry about the future I will guide your steps and I will open doors no man can close. but before I reveal my plan there's some things you have to let go! You were just 8 years old and you trusted them but they took away your innocence, you were so confused because they said they loved you! The truth be told it's not true! I created love and my love protects and motivates faith to reach a higher place! My compassion is extended towards you and my forgiveness will restore you. I know the battle has just begun but you can resist the anger boiling in your bones. Your soul wants justice and revenge! Your heart so harden, it's like walls of brick and no one knows how crushed you've been. I know it wasn't right and they never said a word but

                                                                                                                                                                 I know you haven’t found a place yet and people’s faces keep changing around you;                             but Christ keeps track of every feeling and emotion and has prepared a  better future for you. All it takes is faith, trusting him to take control of your fate. He knows your parents were taken away and the pain and memories won’t go away but healing and restoration isn't that far away.                        Christ bared the cross for the world and today is your day to receive his reward of righteousness;   and although you’re not used to receiving gifts, he will overflow you with his happiness. Remember the time you prayed for a big house, a big brother, a mother and father, well you can’t see it yet but Christ is working things out.     It’s not about material things but your prayers reached he

                                          Happiness will always be illusive if it’s sought after physically, mentally or emotionally! Some are content, some are always chasing, and some change their definition all together to fit their circumstance.  How can happiness be different for everyone? It’s not, because happiness is spiritual. Everyone has a soul, so everyone can experience the same happiness. Let me explain! A man goes to Asia or the Middle East to find his wife. Her culture requires her to respect and love her husband regardless of his status or nature. She bares children for him and cherishes him until her life leaves her, all this because she holds her culture in the highest honor. Then you have the chaser, who marries several times looking for the right guy, yet she keeps getting involved with men who physically or mentally abuses her. Let’s move on to fulfillment in life in search of happiness, a man sets his goals but never achieves them, he doesn’t make

  Many have attempted to find it but they lack vision. It’s something special, something given; It’s hard to imagine but truly amazing. Actually when motivated, it’s life changing.        This Gift, my Gift;                  Original Wit;                         Nothing Artificial;
