Boom!!! It's Time

Image
Good morning all. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As this is the 364th day of the year we get ready to end the month of Boom in December based Deuteronomy 17:19-20, Habakkuk 2:3, and John 10:9-10 I write this blog today I want to share something with you. This week I had a conversation with someone who I care about and they asked me a question and I gave them an answer that was not the truth ( a lie ) because I thought it would make the situation better at that time. Well after thinking about it for a whole day I finally told the person who asked the question the truth. After doing this the person who I lied to was very angry with me and almost did not speak to me again. I would not have not even had to lie to her if I had taken care of something I was supposed to had been done. Not only in my personal life but in my spiritual aspect God requires me to be a vessel he can use all the time not just some. I have to change. BOOM!!! It

Move In January ( The Theme of the Month )

Image
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new month. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As we begin the new year some industries are going to have a slow period. One in particular is the real estate market. The reason that it is slow is that the holidays put a drain on the resources of consumers. Another reason is that in the Chicago area the weather tends to put a damper of making a change of scenery to bigger and better places. So most us would rather stay in a state of mind and in conditions that we are in because we know we are going to be safe and secure. In the first month of this year I am going to ask you to take a journey with me to someplace different. I am not even going to ask you to go that far. But this first month I want you to see what happens when you just pick yourself, take a chance and Move In January. This the theme for month.     In looking at the theme of the month I want to focus on the word move. In going to my source of definit

Boom !!!! Abundant Life

Good morning and Happy Friday. As we are coming to the conclusion of the month of Boom in December based on Deuteronomy 17:19-20, Habakkuk 2:3, and John 10:9-10 the man pictured next to me is known by those who read my blog as my father, James A. Wesley. Although I have other siblings I want to think that my father loves me the best. There is nothing in the world that he would not do for me. My father provided a life that I could only imagine as a child. I had every Christmas toy that came out known to any child. We went to baseball games and hung out and he taught me how to become a great person even though it took me a while. Along with my Mother my parents provided me a abundant life in spite of my many shortcomings and failure. We as a people of faith have access to life abundantly as soon as we accept Christ as our Savior and are responsible to make sure others have access to this abundant life as well. Boom!!! Abundant Life. In looking at the main word that is in the title I

Boom ! It Will Tarry Not.

Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As we continue in the month of Boom in December based on Deuteronomy 17:19-20, Habakkuk 2:3 and John 10:9-10 when I publish this blog it will be two days before Christmas and there will be a lot of people anticipating what they will open on Christmas day. Most people badger the ones who they expect presents from to see what is in the box, the package or the envelope under the tree. At times the expectations of waiting outweighs the actual receiving of the gift so much so that you cannot wait. This year we as the people of faith have been faithful to God and patiently waiting for the healing, the activation, the promises. Well the wait is about to come to an end because God has told me through the Holy Spirit that Boom ! It Will Not Tarry. In looking at the key word in the text, tarry, I will go to dictionary.com to get the definition. The word tarry means as follows: to

Boom!!! There is Our Land

Good morning and Happy Friday all. As we continue in the month of Boom In December based on Deuteronomy 17:19-20, Habakkuk 2:3 and John 10:9-10 I had not been to visit my parents in quite a while. I used to make the trip often when I was a child/teen but as I got older I did not want to make the trip south. When I was traveling down as a child there was always a point of where we had to stop to get gas so we could finish the journey. The place where we stopped was Cairo Illinois and we got gas and kept it moving. So the last time I went was for a family reunion and when we finally stopped the fueling station was not in Cairo. It was a place called Boom Land. This stopping point had everything a but specialized in having a great if not the largest assortment of fireworks around. As we move towards the end of this month and this year God will open up so land for us so plentiful that we will have only one phrase to say; Boom!!! There is Our Land.  As I often do I seek a definit

Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As we continue to Boom In December based on Deuteronomy 17:19-20, Habakkuk 2:3 and John 10:9-10 I had someone on my job tell me something recently and I had to a whole lot of soul searching to see if the word that she said actually described me. The woman told me that one of her coworkers told her that I was genuine. When she said it I was taken aback and I asked her in what way and she said in the way that when I encourage the people when they are going home and motivating them as they arrive that is genuine. That made me feel a lot better because that aspect was true. To see if a diamond is genuine you test it by seeing it will scratch glass. To see if gold is real you see if citric acid will affect it. With some things on the inside of me that was not genuine I decided that I needed to fix that and do something to fix it permanently. I had to do an Implosion. In loo

Three Can Make it Happen

Good morning and Happy Friday all. This is the month of Boom in December based on Deuteronomy 17:19-20, Habakkuk 2:3 and John 10:9-10. As we move further into the month I again venture away from the theme of month and bring another teaching that is inspired by the Holy Spirit. In 1974 there a film that was called Three the Hard Way. The movie starred Fred "the Hammer" Williamson, Jim Brown and Jim Kelly. The plot of the movie was that a group of white supremacist attempted to kill the Black population by poisoning the water supply. The three actors were the biggest Black action stars of that time as Jim Brown starred as Slaughter in a motion picture, Fred Williamson starred as Black Caesar and Jim Kelly starred as Black Belt Jones. The three men were able to stop the vicious plot of the enemy. We as a people of faith can make major changes in the world and a lot of help is needed but sometimes it only takes 3. Three can make it happen. In looking at the number three and
