Perception: On Demand Only Works Certain Places

Image
Good evening and Happy Saturday. As we continue with these teachings of Perception and Reality based on Numbers 11:4-6 and Deuteronomy 8:2-5 I have Comcast as my cable company. It has features like Internet connection, television channels and even though I have not ever used it, I also have a house phone. But the feature I like the most is a feature called On Demand. This feature is a fantastic because I am always on the go and if there is a certain show I want to see like Greenleaf or American Crime, two of my favorites, I can always go to the On Demand feature and look at these shows. But this On Demand feature is not available to me at work because my company blocks certain sites like this. There are those who have little faith or have no belief in God whatsoever thinks that there is a limit to the things that are God can do. As a matter of fact this is their thinking, On Demand Only Works Certain Places. We have people who think that our God is limited on the things that he ca

Reality: Eating Humble Pie

Good morning and Happy Tuesday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past,. The future is unlimited. As we continue these teachings of Perception/Reality in March based on Numbers 11:4-6 and Deuteronomy 8:2-5. One of the things that I have done in my life is talk negatively before things have had a way of working out for the better. There have been so many times that I have place my own self in situations and then I questioned God why is this happening to me. One of the most recent things that I did was to ask God to help as one of the places where I loved to work at, Tyson Foods laid me off. It was a job where I could eat everyday for free, get enough food to feed almost everyone that I know and then some. But I could not advance and I asked God to remove me so I could advance but did not understand at the time when I lost my job it was to begin something better. In Reality I had begun to Eat  Humble Pie. As I get into this teaching of Reality; Eating Humble Pie, I

(Perception) All Hope is Lost

Good morning and Happy Tuesday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past and the future is unlimited. As we begin these teachings based Numbers 11:4-6, Deuteronomy 8:2-5, John 7:50-52 and Revelations 1:17-19, one of the things I can say about where I live know it certainly has changed much from the times when  I was growing up. Although I did not live where I do now, I lived close enough to see how things were then and how they are now. My block where I live at now used to be the home of many people who had jobs and homes that were filled with residents. My block now has maybe a handful of residents that have jobs and there are more boarded up homes than there are ones that are actually lived in. There have been instances of gunfire within the last year and as recently as 3 weeks ago. On my block and all throughout the surrounding blocks, there is no sense of community, pride or belonging. In looking at my and others Perception, All Hope Is Lost. One of the things

Perception and Reality in March (Theme of the month)

Image
Good morning and Happy Sunday. Brand new month. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As we continue these teachings of the year of I Have Got Work To Do I am excited about the direction things are headed. We began with having Character in January and then we Advanced in February. We now enter the last month of the 1st quarter of the year wanting to see what is actually important. I began this year by hoping to lose some of the things that we holding me back. My expectations were to be finished with school, have found a permanent position in my field and to lose some weight. As of this time only one of my goals had been reached. I thought I was ready enough to reach all of my first quarter goals but am still trying to complete them. See when began with these goals in mind I saw it happening, Perception and when it did not happen I have to look at Reality. So this month I am going to teach lessons that deal with Perception and Reality. In defining the w

In Order To Advance

Good evening and Marvelous Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As we come to end of the teachings of Advancing in February based on Esther 10:1-3 I want to congratulate each and everyone who has not only come out of a situation but rose above it. On tomorrow I am going to become a full-time employee from a position that was seasonal. It was not easy as I had to do some things to get that position. I had to be on time each day during my seasonal position as being tardy even some of the times may have cost me the permanent position. It was a time sensitive job meaning that I had to be there every day and even do the mandatory overtime even though I had another job and was going to school. I especially had to make sure that I had the right attitude each and every day and not let those who may not like me just because get to me. I had to do all these things In Order To Advance. In Order To Advance there may be times for you to go

Government Intervention (Advancing Our Faith)

Image
Good morning and Happy Saturday. As we continue with these teachings of Advancing in February based on Esther 10:1-3 when I was growing up there was a real big crisis that shook America. There was an overthrow of power in 1979 and the Iranians began to stop sending oil to the United States. This decrease in oil played a big part in the economy of America. One of the things that happened was there was a shortage of gas that had people waiting in long lines to get gas and many gas stations running out of gas daily. For the people of America this was a big crisis as it affected the automakers, who a lot of people depended upon for jobs. There was chaos and confusion daily and the anger that was seen in lines across America was never seen before. Back then we took it for granted gas would always be there and when it was not we had to go to a higher place which meant Government Intervention. As a people of faith, in order to advance our beliefs there is going to have to be a Government In

Advancing Others is Our Mission( I Still Have Work to Do).

Good morning and Happy Thursday. As we continue in the month of Advancing in February based on Esther 10:1-3 and the Year of I Still Have Work To Do based on Exodus 7:1-3, Ezekiel 2:6-8 and Phillippians 3:12-14 I do not really know how happy it really is as I happen to stay in a city, Chicago,where there is killings every single day. With the weather being unseasonably warm, the mayhem continues to reach levels not seen before. The thing that gets to me, and I am looking at myself as well, is the numbness to the news of killings. It was tragic that an 12, 11 and 2 year old were killed last week. There was an uproar and it should have been. But the young men and women who continue to get killed at alarming rate has really got me. I am truly at a loss on what really to do but there has got to be something to be done. Our mission, or my mission is to make a difference and spread the Word of God and save the lost in the world. I am not doing a good job but want to change that. Advancing

Victory Is Mine (Advancing in the Midst of Haters Part II)

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 Advancement in February based on Esther 10:1-3, I get ready to begin this teaching I want to pick up where I left off on the last teaching but want to take a less personal approach to this. I want to focus on those who have little to nothing when it comes to finances, food and dreams. I want to focus on the fathers who want to be part of their children's life but do not have the proper training to be a great parent. I want to focus on those who have gotten out of college and cannot find a job in their career field to save their lives. I want to focus on those who have given up on life itself. Most of these things have been said about you by others who have no other reason to say them except to keep you down and out. Today I am going to let you know whatever you are doing or wherever you are at in life prepare for the better for with God y

Advancing in the Midst of Haters

Good morning and Happy Saturday. As we continue in the month of Advancement in February based on Esther 10:1-3 I am a person who has an outgoing personality. It has helped me get this far in life. At times, most times in fact, my personality is so big that I often offend some people. It is not my intention and let me be the first to say that I am not a bragger or boaster or even think more of myself than I should. But I will admit I can make  many a persons day by the kind things that I do. In being this type of person it rubs some the wrong way and they attempt to pour salt, stab in my back or just lie about me to others. I thought I had moved away from that when I came to work in one of the fields that I am studying, Benefit Adviser. Boy was I way off base and at this point it does not matter and I am a child of God and no matter who or what tries to stop me, he is always makes sure I come out on top. God allows me to Advance in the Midst of Haters. My strong personality at tim
