"way beyond me"

This is a conversation that is normally taken for granted and not thought or taught much about.  We all are guilty of the neglect we sometimes have in this area.  I am being vague on purpose because  I don't want to give away the theme of the subject topic. I hope this conversation will get you to think about certain areas of your life that need consideration.  This will definitely added a Hmmm.... to your thoughts....Enjoy and be blessed!

In these perilous times there are people that perceive life as desperate and they may feel destitute, enough to take what is not theirs. They also  will make bad decisions which effect those that are connected to them.  This is selfish behavior, and  the consequences of a bad decision will always affect others especially those in their family.  

Here we see a selfish act that resulted in the devastation of an entire family.  In the book of Joshua, Achan took the accursed things that God had forbit the children of Israel to take.  Acting upon a decision can never be reversed, therefore we must be mindful of the outcome that may possibly change the course of ours lives and the lives of others.

Sometimes we place ourselves in bondage because of the way we perceive situations and circumstances.  In the days of Joshua, Jericho was a strong city that had to be overcome if the children of Israel were to go into the promised land. Jericho was a strong hold and so are our negative thoughts.  We have to also overcome the negative strongholds of our mind in order to be free. 

 The word of God plainly tells us that the way a person thinks in his heart so is he. We are, and we have what we believe. So like Jericho, the emotional walls must come down to allow ourselves to escape the prison we set ourselves in, and to allow others to come in that we may be able to help them and also receive help from others.

Men are often misunderstood in many ways.  Women try to assume what a man needs, but fail at the numerous attempts.  The desire is to keep a level head, but Pride, Anger, Ego, Selfishness and Greed most times stand in the way of the loving, honest, strong and committed relationships that some men desire and women crave!. 

 In this conversation, we will explore these and other areas that will  somehow develop the  self awareness and the  revelation that men are not alone in the struggles to be a man.  In order to level up to be the alpha male, it will takes courage, honesty and a lot of humility to admit that there is a better way to deal with life's issues.  The bible explains that there is nothing under the sun that a man can encounter that has not already been experienced. Men are all looking for the same things in life, but learning how to obtain them is the confusing part, especially when there are no male figures or great examples of how to be a good man when so many men grew up in fatherless (physically, and emotionally) homes.  Until men start to recognize that God  is the only source of wisdom, love, peace and humility, leveling up to the alpha male is just an illusion!

It is inevitable that we have had or will have storms in our life.  If you have never had a storm then just keep living!  Circumstances and situations in life can be so devastating that we are not sure what to do and sometimes we are not able to do anything about it.  We do have the power of choice and the faith to believe that everything will work together like it is suppose to and it is for our good.

We are given a lesson or a blessing when we encounter a storm.  Either way it is to help us, and I believe that is what Jesus was trying to teach his disciples.  So, whenever a storm starts brewing in your life, you have a choice to take a nap or walk through it.  God is with you in whichever way you choose.   

This is a revelation that God gave me years ago about three things we will always find in the world and how satan uses them as a platform to operate his evil and wicked devices.  We see people being deceived by them everyday and they are always the same.  The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. 

 When you witness evil, wickedness or deceit in what people say, in how they think, or in what they do, you can be sure it comes from one or more of these demonic vices. The Word Of God brings truth, freedom and love to any situation that we may face or any difficult people we may encounter.  When we trust in God's Word,  It will give us the wisdom to overcome adversity, trials or tests.  We need The Word of God for every area of our life.  If you choose to seek or believe any advise from the world, you would also be misguided and deceived.   

In this Conversation we examine two females who are both under tremendous amounts of Life and death pressure.  They chose Jesus, so they chose life, because we know that Jesus IS The Way, The Truth, And The Life. The woman with the issue of blood and Jairus' daughter both needed faith to be healed in the midst of pressure from unbelievers. When you are faced with the challenges of life and pressure beyond your control, How Would YOU choose to handle it?

In this discussion, I examine the widow woman's integrity of feeding the Prophet Elijah when she only had enough to feed herself and her son and die, as she puts it.  God gave her a meal in a barrel that never ran out because she had enough goodness in her heart to share with some one that she didn't even know, and also she didn't want anything from him unlike women of today.  God blessed her with an abundance of meals because she was willing to share her last one with the man of God.  If we all would only learn from the nameless woman the world would be a better place.  We have to stop fishing for self and help another with the little that we have and God will bless us with his riches in glory.
