SpeakLight with Davitra Yvette

We get comfortable, we let down our guard, get comfortable and over time, there’s a buildup, a residue of sin and life gets clogged.

It’s time my friend, shake the dust, clear the clutter of the things, the stuff, that is no longer serving and adding value to your life.

What time is coffee with Christ, when is the Messiah’s meeting, do you have a 1-on-1 supervision with the Savior?  What clock have you hung in the house of your heart to remind you of God’s goodness, grace and mercy?

Close on things of the past. Closing is what puts you in something new.  It’s leaving behind the old and walking into the new. It’s time to go to closing. 

When we read the scripture, our text, it says test everything & hold fast to what’s good.  Well how do you know what’s good to hold unless you’re reading, learning and taking in information?  In this same chapter, Paul emphasizes that we are children of LIGHT and therefore we must come out of the dark.  He says wake up, don’t sleep - be clear in your mind.  Can you hear Paul?  Sounding like Dap (Laurence Fishbourne) at the end of School Daze, “Waaaaake up!”  When you’re awake, you’re aware, you’re alert - you’re informed.  Now just how informed are you?  How do you get your information?  Do you just scroll through IG & TikTok, listen to the top stories, play a podcast on your commute?  What are you reading?  How do you understand the Bible and the context behind the stories?  What’s in your toolkit for enlightenment?

Point is, if you want to be successful in the course of life, make sure you read the syllabus.  When you read your syllabus (the Bible) just to get by, sure you can make it, but there’s no much you miss out on.  There’s peace, joy, there’s rest and comfort in the Word.  When we don’t read “the syllabus” fully, we can be left feeling empty and in the dark. The Professor has shown up, He’s never late and He has given out a THICK syllabus - the Bible!  God has outlined His plan, and has given many instructional methods for us to learn, understand and apply the disciplines to our life.

The life lessons and lectures are lead in love.  The assignments are accented with anointing and ambition.  Grades are given with grace. The Professor promises you’ll pass if you just come to class.  How do you come to class?  What’s the course content?  It’s life, everyday - walking with Jesus, believing that He will show you the way.

It’s homecoming!  Get to the house, get to the temple!  Remember the good times you had praising God, recall how He’s brought you over, recount the times He’s made a way!  It’s homecoming; get to the house!

Give KNOWING in faith that it will be given, PRESSED DOWN - you know what that means!?  That means it’s so much, that you gotta press down to make room for more!! OH MY GOD - HE IS MORE THAN AMAZING!

Make sure you have your badge, your IDentity in Christ.  It tells everyone that you’re a child of God.  It tells everyone that you’re special, set apart, specifically chosen for the royal priesthood.  Your ID in Jesus, gives you access to the Father and assurance through the Holy Spirit.
