Good morning and Happy Friday. As we continue in the Year of Our Father based on Isaiah 64:7-9, Luke 11:2-4 and 1st John 3:1-3 and the month of Drama Free in January based on 1st Kings 3:23-28 and Mark 12:13-17 I must admit that at times I have not been the best person that I could be. When things that I have perceived that was done to me that I thought was wrong, I would get so mad that I would pray to God to harm those who I perceived had done me wrong. I would actually get on my knees and pray the best prayer that I could so Our Father could pay them back for doing me wrong. I would be so happy that I knew that God wold avenge my name, my reputation or give me retributions for that perceived wrong. I would wait a day, a week and sometimes even a month to see what Our Father would do to those who I perceived who did me wrong and nothing ever happened. Then some one who has a close relationship with God told me something, Our Father is Drama Free.
See most times the drama that is in our lives we have created it. Like when we go the boat and lose all of our money and then want God to put the casino out of business. Or when we are involved with
someone who moves on and we want to start some mess in their new relationship. Or when we see people get elevated in positions in the church that we waited so long for and got passed over and hope they fail. This is not of God or how his people act. Our Father is Drama Free.
As we get into the Word of God for the teaching of Our Father is Drams Free I begin in Leviticus 26:14-26. In these verses Our Father speaks about what happens if we are about drama. See when we
do things differently than what God wants us to do we then invite the things that are not blessings into our lives and even those who we love. And we wonder why we struggle. Our Father is Drama Free.
In continuing this teaching in the Word of God for Our Father is Drama Free we go to Obadiah 1:10-16. In these verses the Edomites, the descendants of Esau, are coming to basically kick the people of
God while they are down. They come to loot and take advantage of a bad situation. But God sees and knows all. Just because others advance farther or quicker than we do in our ministry there is no need to try to put them down. It is not of God. Our Father is Drama Free.
As we finish the Biblical portion of this teaching of Our Father is Drama Free I go to Matthew 27:1-5. In these verses Judas had betrayed Jesus and now felt remorse for what he had done but the people
who helped him turn their back on him and Judas kills himself. His place in life was to betray Jesus and he could had been forgiven. That person who you thought you should be with was not really yours because God had so much better for you. Our Father is Drama Free.
In closing we must understand that God has a plan for all of us. Although his plan may not seem to be what we think or know that it should be it is not for us to understand but to walk in the path that he has for us. We cannot love God and hate our neighbor. That is drama. We cannot say that Jesus is our Savoir when we do things that of sinful. And we cannot expect the Holy Spirit to dwell inside of us when we covet some one's position, money or significant other or husband/wife. It does not work like that. Our Father is Drama Free. I give God all the glory and honor for this teaching. I also ask him to bless all who read this and even those who do not read this. Please read my next teaching on Monday called Drama Free in the Temple. Have a great day all.
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. This past month I was riding with my friend Angela Francis. On this particular day she had to go get her hair done and her friend Roxanne' shop. I had done this numerous times in the past so when I was getting ready to leave I told Angela I was going to the forest preserve to sit and wait as she got her hair done. At the forest preserve I would be able to do two things while I was there. I would be able to think of ideas for my blog, my radio show and my daily postings on Facebook. When you attempt to write you sometimes get writer's block and need to get to a different atmosphere ( Hmmm Writer's Block may be a blog soon LOL ). The other reason I wanted to go to the forest preserve is because it was hot that day and I needed some shade. So as I approached the forest preserve I put on my left turn signal and waited for traffic coming southbound to clear. After
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. Growing up we used to love to take pictures. Maybe not myself because I had a self confidence problem, but everywhere you went there was someone taking pictures. In grammar school we took pictures every week. In high school we took them every year. At church we took pictures. In the club we took pictures as a group to show we all went to a party. Most of the pictures we took were with a Polaroid camera which had great quality then. But if you wanted the best pictures you wanted the photographer to take your pictures. This was one of the coolest professions back then because all the ladies who wanted to be models or actresses had to go to the photographer to get that photo to take to the different agencies to show how they look. So in order to get the best quality the photographer had to go someplace where he could get the best results. It was his Dark Room. This is the na
Good morning and Happy Friday. The summer is now beginning and the weather is now reaching its highest temperatures. It has reached a high point of 90's so far in the Chicagoland area and it appears to be nothing in sight to relieve us of these conditions that are almost drought like. As the summer gets ready to start in earnest next week we anticipate the warmest temps of the year after a winter that saw a little snow but the hawk, ( that's what we call the wind in the CHI ) was in full effect. But the sun has been out daily and we need a little moisture in our lives. We expect things to get wet in order for us to not only cool off but to wash away some things and bring a freshness of new things in our lives. The hotness of the weather coincides with the hotness in our lives. We need things to cool off a little bit but need some things to come down so we can enjoy the things in our lives that is promised to us as Christians. We are faithful and trusting in his Word. So as we
