Good morning and Marvelous Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As I begin my first teaching in a long time and the first one for 2018, I feel I must get something off of my chest. One of the things that used to hold me back financially was betting on horses. For me the thrill of winning hundreds of dollars on a bet as small as $20 dollars was alluring to me. I needed to have big wins so I could support my other habits and get ahead of some bills. Nothing could be more easy. There was even sheets and programs to help you put you in a position to have large winnings. I looked at all the times that I won a getting ahead when in fact I was losing more than I was bringing in. I asked God to remove that from my life and he did and I was thankful. Unfortunately although God took away from what I asked of him, there was still something holding me back. I thought I just had one chain when in fact I had Two Chains.
See my sin was one of the oldest in the book and that was woman. I always had to have some woman in my life. It did not matter if they were married, single, engaged or in a relationship, I always had to
more than one in my life. And even if had to reach back in the past, I would to satisfy my sin. There may be someone like me that thought that if one sin was gone all would be gone and that is not true. Although we may feel free at times there may be another chain out there. You may be in the midst of Two Chains.
As we begin this teaching of Two Chains I begin in Jeremiah 40:1-2. In looking at these verses we see where Jeremiah despite being someone freed from bondage in Chapter 38, is still bound. His
message from God has been heard though and he is beginning his steps toward freedom. I did not want to continue being with any and ever body just for the sake of being with someone. Gambling is gone but I still wanted women in my life. I was immersed in Two Chains.
As we continue with this teaching of Two Chains I go back to Jeremiah 40:3. In this verse the captain of the guard assesses the situation and tells Jeremiah that the doom he predicted has now arrived and
there is nothing that can be done for the others. I did not see the problems and issues I would have with the boyfriends and husbands as I was just thinking of the women I was seeing which was more important. I was held from reaching my destiny by Two Chains.
As we come to the end of the biblical portion of this teaching I finish in Jeremiah 40:4-5. In these verses the second chain has been loosened and Jeremiah is not only free to go, all the land that he
sees is his or he can go to Babylon and live as a free man, which is his choice. God has brought me out of the need of having to have a woman in my life and I am learning to live free. God freed my Two Chains.
In conclusion, I was never able to get comfortable in my Two Chains. I always had to see if someone's husband was watching me. I had to see if homegirl's fiance was at work before I came by. I had to juggle the other women who I was seeing to make sure they never saw or knew about each other. In trying to get a piece I had not peace. I was miserable and put away everything and everyone to satisfy my needs of having several women in my life. I can thank God that I have not gambled in quite a while and can continue my journey in life without Two Chains. If you are like me there may be something pressing that you need out of your life. but ask God to remove all that you think may not be right or you may be freed from one and bound by the other. In other words Two Chains. I give God all the glory and honor for this teaching. This is done in the memory of all that have passed away since I last wrote.and dedicated to my cousin Teri Wesley. I will continue to break the ties that bind and never be bound by Two Chains again.
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
