In
life sometimes we tend to ignore the road signs, road signs that
point to a negative result.
Focus
on the positive road signs in life
"He
answered and said unto them, "When it is
evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
And in the morning, it will be foul weather today: for the
sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, you can discern the face
of this sky; but can you not discern the signs of the times?""
MATTHEW 16: 2-3 ( KJV)
R
oad signs.
This is an example of following road signs. This weekend I
was to go and celebrate my two son's birthdays: Marcus and
Nicholas. I was invited at the last minute and had to change
plans to go. I wanted to go, I want to go. The eBlessings
ministry placed an ad in the Sojourner Christian magazine
with a subscription of 200,000 plus.
There's a
lot of work, maintenance that needs to be done on the website;
updating pages, preparing Internet merchant information and cleaning
up other information, and elements on the different webpages. With
the changing of the months, from August to September, and the
Christian magazine ad, and the ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the
site were enough road signs to say not to go.
But I was
going to look past those road signs because I really wanted to go, I
want to go. Because I historically had not been there for my sons as
they grew up, except for summer visitations when they decided to
come--they grew up without me around. So, when there is a family
event with their mothers side of the family, you can imagine the
heated barbs, and nasty arrows I receive when I can attend. In spite
of all that, I attend and often regret it. That was a road sign that
I knew was going to be there.
Since I
am spending so much money into the eBlessings ministry, my car had
not been maintained for eight months, probably more like a year.
Therefore an eight hour ride to North Carolina from Georgia would be
a dangerous and foolish undertaking, to say the least. But it would
be, would have been, an undertaking that I would be willing to take.
But this was a road sign to say not to go. In life sometimes we tend
to ignore the road signs, road signs that point to a negative
result. Focus on the positive road signs in life. We have not to
look past those road signs, ignore the road signs, or live in denial
of them.
The third
road sign, well actually, one of many, I've could say in this the
third group is money. Because my disability check is no more, I have
been without a real income for about two months now. So my wife
Elizabeth gave me $80 to go on the trip. I have items in storage,
personal and business, which need to be rescued from the storage by
me paying the storage fee for this month. After an expected payment
from a client, plus the $80 from my wife, I could pay the storage
fee. With the money for the client plus the money from my wife,
after paying the storage fee, I would have $40 to make the trip and
back, food money to stay for three days; it was not going to happen.
Another road sign, one that put the brakes on the trip.
Since
historically, I was never around for my sons, they would only lump
this time in with the other times it could not attend. But as you
can clearly see, the road signs pointed to not going.
So the
next time you think about why someone did not do something for you,
why they did not attend your birthday party, anniversary, or some
other family or school event; think about what may have impacted
them to make the decision that they did and be more tolerant,
compassionate, and empathetic towards them and one another.
FOLLOW THE ROAD SIGNS

Lord, thank You for Your New Things that happen all the time. I
love You for that and much, much, more. Let us be Your New Thing
to changes the world and usher in Your Kingdom, in Christ, we
ask.
Each One! Bless One!
You do make a difference. Enjoy your day.
Learn to agree along the way with only the truth unless
circumstances dictate a wiser decision.
Follow
the example of Christ.
"Agree
with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him;
lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the
judge deliberately to the officer, and now be cast into prison."
MATTHEW 5:25
(KJV)
T
raps—2a.
Please see Traps—1, Tuesday, 31 July 2007. The above Scripture talks
about agreeing with someone who is in disagreement with you who had
advantage over you, who can have you cast into prison; seemingly
because you have done that person some wrong. Remember, this is
Jesus talking, so there will be multiple lessons in this Scripture.
The Holy Spirit is telling me that in agreeing with this adversary,
one is to agree only to the injustice committed, not to those things
which are inordinate with God. So this devotional concerns the trap:
AGREEMENT.
"Again
I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching
any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my
father which is in heaven." Matthew 18:19
(KJV) This is Jesus speaking again. So He is telling us about a
blessing that awaits us if we touch and agree on anything on earth.
So the warning here is not to touch the adversary and agree with him
on ungodly things as it relates to Matthew 5:25.We
can not put into play here, whether or not both people are saved and
Christians.
This next
Scripture, in this example, speaks to what Satan will do when he
accuses a fellow Christian to the Father concerning an agreement
that was made for little to nothing, a penny. "But he answered
one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou
agree with me for a penny?" Matthew 20:13 (KJV) This scripture
is about a worker who thought he was underpaid for the work he had
done; but he agreed to do the work for penny. Do not underestimate
yourself, your self-worth, your work, or your value to yourself and
to your fellow human beings. Do not be too quick to agree in
day-to-day conversations.
I have a
friend who likes to come over and tell me—tell me in the form of a
question what they want me to think. It goes like this. First it
starts with something we all can agree with. "Allen, you know the
Lord is good don't you?" Yes the Lord is good, one would reply.
Allen, you know the Lord would not have anything bad happen to you
right? And the normal reply would be yes you're right. (We are not
going to talk here about the trials and tribulations of the
Christians and Israelites throughout history.)
Then it
gets a little more heightened, and things get mixed with the truth.
Things: lies, half truths, innuendos, insinuations, lying, mis-directions,
decoys, your words, my words, anyone else's words, and any number of
word traps. TO BE CONTINUED. Have a blessed day!
Abba, Father, we love You so much,
it is incredible to love we have for You. Thank You for sharing
our LOVE with us; thank You for sharing Your Wisdom with us.
Christ continue to teach us how to live daily. Let us be mindful
of the needs of others as we live each day to the fullest.
Each One! Bless One!
thank You for allowing us to make a difference. Enjoy your day.
Do not
be too quick to agree with others in common day-to-day
conversations.
“But
I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak,
they shall give account thereof in the day of
judgment.”
MATTHEW 12:36 (KJV)
T
raps—2b.
I have a friend who likes to come over and tell me—tell me in the
form of a question what they want me to think. It goes like this.
First it starts with something we all can agree with. "Allen, you
know the Lord is good don't you?" Yes the Lord is good, one would
reply. Allen, you know the Lord would not have anything bad happen
to you right? And the normal reply would be yes you're right. (We
are not going to talk here about the trials and tribulations of the
Christians and Israelites throughout history; or trials for
spiritual growth.)
Then it
gets a little more heightened, and things get mixed with the truth.
Things: lies, half-truths, innuendos, insinuations, lyings, mis-directions,
decoys, your own words, thrown back at you—(It is amazing how easy
it is to believe something that came out of your mouth when it comes
back to you from someone else. Watch for that one.), my words,
anyone else's words, and any number of word traps.
“Allen,
you know I wouldn't tell you anything wrong don't you?” Now this is
one, you don't want to agree to. You do not know if this is true or
not. I do not care who the individual is--the President, the Pope,
or your mama. And your mother may not say anything wrong, or
may try to keep something from you in an attempt to
help you or to keep you from harm; and she could tell you
something wrong out of the lack of knowledge.
Focus on
the word: MAY. This is future tense, not present tense. Use present
tense words when possible in spiritual matters. May try=future.
Doing=now. May say=future. Saying=now. Could tell=future.
Telling=now. God is a NOW God. This is one of the top five traps—focusing
speech (prayers) and action (tithes and offering)
on what COULD be instead of what now IS.
It
continues like this. “I will go to my grave, knowing that I am
right.” “You know, I am right don't you?” No matter what this person
is talking about, you do not want to send them to their grave,
thinking that they are wrong. But you're just going to have to let
them go that way. Or correct them. You do not agree with someone who
you know is wrong, because you think it will hurt their feelings,
because they are elderly, because they are physically challenged,
poor, dying (because we all are), any number of reasons, (hear
excuses). This is when you use the “Just Say No” comment. Or say, “I
have nothing to say on this matter.” But if you're a strong
Christian, then you got to get in there and correct that situation
like Jesus would.
Sometimes
people will say: Would Jesus have done it this way? And the person
asking this, knows full well that Jesus wouldn't do it anywhere
close to that way. But if you agree, you are in trouble--YOU may
need correction. Learn not to agree with everyone on everything; it
is not a good habit to get into. This is because when the enemy
comes knocking, if you're in the habit of agreeing with what comes
along, you may agree with him and go along with him, not knowing who
he truly is. Learn to agree along the way with only the truth unless
Christ suggests a wiser choice.
Have a
blessed day!

Learn
how to
LOVE
PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.
“Thou
shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy
people,
but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I
am the LORD.”
LEVITICUS 19:18 (KJV)
Breakfast at McDonald's
I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3)
and have recently completed my college degree. The last
class I had to take was Sociology. The teacher was
absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish
every human being had been graced with.
Her last project of the term was called,
"Smile."
The class was asked to go out and smile at
three people and document their reactions. I am a very
friendly person and always smile at everyone and say
hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of
cake, literally.
Soon after we were assigned the project,
my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's
one crisp March morning. It was just our way of sharing
special playtime with our son. We were standing in line,
waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone
around us began to back away, and then even my husband
did. I did not move an inch... an overwhelming feeling
of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why
they had moved.
As I turned around I smelled a horrible
"dirty body" smell, and there standing behind me were
two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the short
gentleman, close to me, he was "smiling". His beautiful
sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched
for acceptance.
He said, "Good day" as he counted the few
coins he had been clutching. The second man fumbled with
his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the
second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed
gentleman was his salvation. I held my tears as I stood
there with them.
The young lady at the counter asked him
what they wanted. He said, "Coffee is all Miss" because
that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit
in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy
something. He just wanted to be warm).
Then I really felt it - the compulsion was
so great I almost reached out and embraced the little
man with the blue eyes. That is when I noticed all eyes
in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every
action.
I smiled and asked the young lady behind
the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a
separate tray. I then walked around the corner to the
table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put
the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed
gentleman's cold hand. He looked up at me, with tears in
his eyes, and said, "Thank you." I leaned over, began to
pat his hand and said, "I did not do this for you. God
is here working through me to give you hope."
I started to cry as I walked away to join
my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at
me and said, "That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to
give me hope." We held hands for a moment and at that
time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had
been given were we able to give. We are not church
goers, but we are believers. That day showed me the pure
Light of God's sweet love.
I returned to college, on the last evening
of class, with this story in hand. I turned in "my
project" and the instructor read it. Then she looked up
at me and said, "Can I share this?" I slowly nodded as
she got the attention of the class. She began to read
and that is when I knew that we as human beings
and being part of God share this need to heal people and
to be healed. In my own way I had touched the
people at McDonald's, my son, instructor, and every soul
that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a
college student. I graduated with one of the biggest
lessons I would ever learn: UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.
Adonai, thank You for allowing us to learn
tolerance, patience, and that our being
different from one another is good for the world
and for each one of us. Teach us to accept
unconditionally. Teach us how to love
unconditionally. Teach us how to share
unconditionally.
Each One! Bless One!
thank You for allowing us to make a difference.
When you make your request known to God, through Christ, take
action and move towards it.
"Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me
the thing that I long for!"
JOB 6:8
(KJV)
"Thou hast given him his heart's desire," and hast not withheld
the request of his lips. Selah."
PSALMS 21:2
(NKJ)
A
man in
the neighborhood
in which I have lived for over 10 years, nine years before asked
if the homeowners association would clean up the traffic island
filled with shrugs and small trees and weeds and so forth, if
the neighborhood association would clean it up. The association
responded, "We don't have enough funds in the budget to respond
to your request."
So, when I was outside working the flowers
and the front entrance to the subdivision, a wood chipper asked
me if I wanted some chips. So I said yes I did, knowing that if
I accepted these chips, then there would be a load of work for
me to do. But I knew that it would beautify the neighborhood and
the mound because I had seen it and knew it needed the work. But
moving these chips would mean not doing other work that I needed
to get done. So the good of the many outweighed the good of the
one.
The wood chipper moved me into the posture
of cleaning out the traffic circle now. And the person making
the request initially, nine years before, was the very same
person who complain about the wood chips being dumped on the
mound. The complaint was received in the e-mail. when I received
it, just having moved to 2000 pounds of wood chips, it was
somewhat discouraging. I was doing this for free, during my
time, when I have so little of it. But I rebounded in Christ.
The moral of the story is, when you make a
request of God, then expect that guy has positioned things for
it to happen for you, to happen on your behalf. But you know
what? We have to meet God at least half way and at least a
little way, at least do a little something on behalf of your
request, when the make a big request of the Lord, or the Lord's
children.
Please understand, when you open your
mouth, ALOUD, and make a request, instead of silently make in a
request, then what happens with that aloud request, there is a
biomechanical biochemical reaction as the fire from your heart
and the wind from your lungs passes through the earth that is
your body and hits the rest of God's creation. All creation
moves forward on your behalf because your request has come to
God through Christ.
Guess what, then God sends the Holy Spirit
who contacts, gets someone like me, to fulfill the request. The
request will be filled through someone asking one to do the
work; or through a circumstance which would move someone like me
towards resolving the prayer request. Remember, a physical
prayer request (tongue moving), will be resolved by a physical
action. It is wisdom applied, for the person who makes a
request, to move towards the request; that would be in the
character of God. It would be wise for a person to take action
towards that request in a positive manner. Meet God on the way
to receiving your prayer request by moving towards it, towards
God. Have a blessed day!
El-Shaddai, Lord, we love You and appreciate how
You and Your Son Christ interacts with us daily.
Let us lose hope and trust that You will work
ALL THINGS out according to Your Will. Peace be
unto You.
Each One! Bless One!
thank You for allowing us to make a difference.
Submit to God’s Will and you will be able to resist the devil.
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he
will flee from you.”
JAMES 4:7
(KJV)
I
want to do a thing
or plan to do a task, or a “To Do list.” Prayers in place move
me to where God wants me to be. A) I do part of what I
want to do, B) part of what I think God wants me to do,
and C) God's Creation moves me, unknowingly (meaning I do
not know that they are moving me) to fulfill God's Will in me,
in those I touch, and those who touch me, and the synergy of the
touching--the relationship; and the "God-Action" which comes out
on the encounter. God putting you on a job, a mission, or an
assignment.
"Abba-Action" -- "God-Action," the Holy Spirit telling you what
to do. It may look and sound like this: Something "falling in
your lap" (that is something good happening to you); or "How I
was in the right place at the right time." Or "I was blessed by
our meeting." Or "They are a "Divine Connection,” “a Righteous
Contact."
1. Something godly occurs and that is where you place your
focus (This God- centered focus may shift daily depending on
prayers offered to God from others.) --so you're daily focus
may be on doing your daily routines which you believe is in
Adonai's Will for your life. Those negative routines should
be eliminated or dismissed from your presence. Say:
"negative routines be dismissed from my life right now!
Thank you Christ!"
2. Then there are directives which God, Christ Jesus, the
Holy Spirit, or any of the members of El-Shaddai's Holy
Family telling us specifically what to do. This could be
something heard from the pulpit, a word from another person,
a whisper of inspiration (imagine Inspiration personified),
a vision, a dream, a goal or directive set forth by the
Bible, Christ, the Church, or your church in your heart.
3. Your Guardian Angel, if you believe in that kind of
stuff, God’s dispatched Holy Angels, the Angels you have
prayed to help you... What? You have not prayed for Angels
to help you? Or help recently? Say: "Christ, please send me
at least four angels to watch over me this week and let me
know, let me realize that they are around and let me
remember this prayer as I experience them. Amen and thank
you."
Based
on faith, based on a prayer power, and God's ability to do the
impossible with everyone all the time, all at once, God’s
Creation moves us toward the answer Abba Father wants us to have
as the answer to our prayers. Do more of what God wants us to
do--less of what we want to do. God wants you to do His Will as
outlined in His book. What you didn't know God had a book?
My LORD continue to use
us as Your Hands, Eyes, Feet, Hearts, Mouths,
and Bodies on this planet as we serve Your Will
to each and every inhabitant of this world.
Bless You and Keep You Lord CHRIST.
Each One! Bless One!
thank You for allowing us to make a difference.
MESSIAH, please continue to teach us how to live
more like you and less like us, and less like
those who would have us replace You with themselves.
Keep us in Your Faith.
Each One! Bless One!
thank You for allowing us to make a difference.
Enjoy your day.
“For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have
given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your
souls: for it is the blood that maketh an
atonement for the soul.”
LEVITICUS 17:11
(KJV)
L
ifeblood.
Lifeblood is when you pour out your life as blood. Have you ever
heard of the expression, “They are using up my lifeblood? Or,
“They are sucking the life out of me.” Or, “I just don't have
anything else left.” If it is the end of your week, whether it
be Friday, Sunday, or Wednesday; then the question to you is:
are you out of energy on the last day of your work week? Are you
so tired that you don't have time for your family? Your church?
For yourself? Even to watch your favorite show? Not to mention
God.
This is where this expression applies, the
lifeblood. Our lifeblood belongs to God. The lifeblood is where
you place most of your energy and your life—the energy from your
heart, from your soul, your mind, and physically doing the work
of your master--whether it is Master God, Master Jesus, Master
Corporation, Master work out, Master Jim Beam, Master
educational institution, or Master Church.
God wants you're lifeblood. He doesn't
want you to give it to the corporation, the church, your family,
or yourself. What in the double hockey sticks am I talking about
you may ask? Think of your lifeblood as your spirit. Your
spirit, as in your blood, your body, your hair, your
fingernails, all came from God and belong to God. God does not
want your money—not your clothes, not your cars, not your
house—that would be the church, the Salvation Army, the car
dealership, the real estate agent--but not God. God owns it all
already (Psalm 24)—He made it. God wants you. He wants
all of you. See this scripture: “And thou shalt love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all
thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first
commandment. Mark 12:30
Our lifeblood belongs to God--that is, our
spirit belongs to God. Spirit is more easily to be understood as
action. The action that you are doing, shows of what spirit a
person is operating. The thing that you are doing, shows the
controlling spirit--whether it be good, as in Christ; or whether
it be bad, as in an unclean spirit. So when you put your life,
your blood, your earth, your wind, your fire which is your body
complete—please ask yourself, “Does this further the cause of
God? What I am doing--and what, for whom I am working is doing?”
“Does what I am doing to promote God?” “Is what I am doing
consistent with what Jesus the Christ said in the Bible?”
When Jesus says, “Verily, verily..”
this means this is absolutely and absolute truth. “Then Jesus
said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat
the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no
life in you.” John 6:53 Jesus’ blood is in us, His Spiritual
Blood. His LIFE is in us, His Spiritual Life—His Spirit.
I know we all have to work to live and
eat. And more often than not, we cannot choose our employer. But
when we are on that job, everyone should know that you are a
child of God, a Christian, so when things get tough, and they
look to someone for help, let that someone be you because they
know your lifeblood is Christ.
MESSIAH, continue to teach us how to best serve
You and Your Children, Your Brothers and
Sisters. Teach us how to serve You in our
service to others, work, play, education, and in
all things. Each One! Bless One!
Thank You for allowing us to make a difference. Enjoy your day.
YESHUA please continue to teach us: 1) How to
receive the Love that You Give, 2) How to share
Your Love that we have inside with others, 3)
How to love ourselves better, and 4) How to
persevere through adversity better. Each One! Bless One!
Thank You for allowing us to make a difference
in your day. Enjoy your day.
Do not put off until tomorrow, what God has given you to do
today.
“Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen
thine
heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”
PSALMS 20 7:14
(KJV)
P
utting
Things Off.
Putting off is an expression which means procrastination,
delaying until later, or waiting until a better time. In life,
we tend to put this off, or put that off. We put off a lot of
different things that we should be doing now. We delay on some
of the most important things that we should be focused on,
moving on, attempting to do, aiming for, or planning on; we
delay them until tomorrow--until a better day--a better
tomorrow.
The problem with putting things off, with
procrastination, or waiting until a better time, a more
convenient time, or when things are just right can –
Sometimes cause us to miss the Blessing the
Lord has for us in a specific situation (though it may look
troublesome or not worth the trouble). We may put off
confronting that brother or sister about that issue; waiting
for the right moment.
The right moment for them may be now, they may need that
word that the Lord has placed in your mouth that you have
fear to use. But they need it to face their next experience.
You may delay someone else’s Blessing.
The other problem with putting things off is that it
creates a negative habit in us of putting things
off. It's called procrastination. The problem with
procrastination is if we, in life in this carnal, fleshly,
physical world; if we put things off, then in the spiritual
world, in our spiritual world, we will put things off as
well. And you know, we cannot have that. We do not want to
delay, or put off our spiritual growth, by doing things in
the flesh that would delay improving our relationship with
Christ.
Another problem with putting things off in our spiritual
world is, we are putting off God (Mychael). We are
putting off God's Blessing. We are procrastinating in God's
spiritual things. This has the impact of negatively
affecting us, our families, our communities, our churches,
how business is, local governments, and our nation. God will
let us know when the timing is correct.
What am I putting off today that should
not wait until tomorrow? What are you putting off today that
should not wait until tomorrow? What are we putting off today
that should not wait until tomorrow? What good thing is God
putting off from us today that we should have, but have to wait
until tomorrow?
ADONAY, thank You for doing what You do
best--EXIST for us. Thank You for teaching us
how to wait on You and to move towards You in
great expectation. We want to bless You
mightily. Each One! Bless One!
Thank You for allowing us to make a difference
in your day. Enjoy your day.
My Lord have mercy upon us for not being as
thankful each and every living and waking moment
for what opportunities You laid before us. Bless
Your Holy Ways. Each One! Bless One!
Thank You for allowing us to make a difference
in your day. Enjoy your day.
“Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ass or his ox fall down by the
way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift
them up again.”
DEUTERONOMY 22:4
(KJV)
B
e Such a
Brother.
A well-to-do businessman gave a fine car to his brother. One day
when the brother went to the place he'd parked the car, he saw a
ragged boy looking at the car over with great interest. Instead
of saying, "Get away from that car, kid," he smiled at the
youngster.
The boy was the first to speak. "Is that
car yours, Mister?" "Yes, it is," was the reply. "What did it cost?"
was the next question. "Nothing," said the man. The boy looked at
him curiously and said, "You don't look like the kind of guy who
would steal a car."
The owner laughed and said, "No, it was a
present from my brother." The boy seemed incredulous. "Do you mean
to say he gave it to you as a present, and it didn't cost you
anything?" "That's right."
Then the boy said the most surprising
thing of all: "I sure do wish I could be such a brother as yours."
One might have expected him to say, "How I wish I could have such a
brother as yours."
The man asked him what he meant, and he
explained: "I'll tell you. My youngest brother has polio. And he
can't walk to see all the shops in town and enjoy the toys, at
least, by seeing them in the windows.
How I wish I had a car like this to take
him around. Our father died, and we won't get any presents this
Christmas. But at least I can walk along the streets and enjoy the
shop windows. My brother can't even do this. That's why I'd like to
be a brother like your brother."
Do you think the man gave him the car?
Should he have given him the car? Would you have given him the car?
Would Jesus have given him the car? The fifty thousand dollar
question is: Did God give the boy's brother polio? And if so, why?
“Jesus answered,
Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the
works of God should be made manifest in him.”
John 9:3
Let the works of God be manifested through Christ in you every day.
Selah. Let the works of God be manifested through Christ in us
everyday. Selah. We must aspire to work the Works of Christ.
Lord, when You said that we can move mountains,
I believe You. Christ, when You say will do
these things and greater things, I believe You.
Jesus show us how to do those things that You
did, and the confidence to execute God's Will
perfectly. Thank You for all things. Each One!
Bless One!
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness
for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and
sweet for bitter!”
ISAIAH 5:20
(KJV)
“Woe to those who drag their sins behind them like a bullock on a
rope. They even mock the Holy One of Israel and dare the Lord to
punish them. “Hurry up and punish us, O Lord,” they say. “We want to
see what you can do!” They say that what is right is wrong, and what
is wrong is right; that black is white and white is black; bitter is
sweet and sweet bitter.”

W
HAT HAS OUR
NATION BECOME!
When he was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate,
everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they
heard:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You today to ask Your forgiveness
and to seek Your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says,
"Woe to those who call evil good," but that is exactly what we
have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our
values.
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have
rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn
and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it
justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called
it building self-esteem. We have abused power and called it
politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it
ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called
it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values
of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh, God,
and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us
free. Amen!"
The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out
during the prayer in protest.
In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is
pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those
calls responding negatively. The church is now receiving
international requests for copies of this prayer from India, Africa,
and Korea. Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio
program, "The Rest of the Story," and received a larger response to
this program than any other he has ever aired.
With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and
whole-heartedly become our desire so that we again can be called:
"One nation under God."
My LORD, You are so AWESOME! Allow the readers
of this prayer to have their spiritual eyes,
spiritual ears, spiritual hearts, and entire
sprits open to see the enemy, where he lurks and
operates; and know how to defeat them in Christ,
I pray and thank You, Father Yahweh, Most High. Thank You for all things. Each One!
Bless One!
15AND they
brought unto him also infants, (Luke)13 little (Matthew)13 young children,
(Mark)15
that he would touch them: (Luke)13 that he should put
his hands on them, and pray: (Matthew)15 but when his
disciples saw it, they (Luke)13
rebuked those that brought them. 14
But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, (Mark)16
called them unto him, (Luke)14
and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and
forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. 15 Verily I say unto
you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little
child, he (Mark)17
shall in no wise enter therein. (Luke)16 And he took them up
in his arms, (Mark)15
and he laid his hands on them, (Matthew)16 and blessed them,
(Mark)15
and departed thence. (Matthew)
(Luke
18:15-17; Matthew
19:13, 15; Mark
10:13-16)
16And, behold, (Matthew)17 when he was gone
forth into the way, there came (Mark)18
a certain ruler (Luke) – 17
one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, (Mark)18
saying, Good Master, (Luke)16
what good thing shall I do, (Matthew)17 that I may inherit
eternal life? 18 And Jesus said unto
him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one,
that is, (Mark)17 God: but if thou
wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18
He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, (Matthew)20Thou knowest the
commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do
not bear false witness, (Luke)19
Defraud not, (Mark)19
Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself. (Matthew)
20 The young man (Matthew)20
answered and said unto him, Master, all these (Mark)20
things (Matthew)20 have I observed
(Mark)20
from my youth up: what lack I yet? (Matthew)22
Now when Jesus heard these things, (Luke)21
Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, (Mark)22
Yet lackest thou one thing: (Luke)21
if thou wilt be perfect, (Matthew)21 go thy way, sell
whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have
treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
(Mark)
(Mark
10:17-21; Luke
18:18, 20, 22; Matthew
19:16-21)
22 But when the young
man heard that saying, (Matthew)22
he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: (Mark)23
for he was very rich (Luke)(and)22 had great
possessions. (Mark)24
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, (Luke)23
Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, (Mark)23
Verily I say unto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the
kingdom of heaven. (Matthew)23 How hardly shall
they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 24
And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth
again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that
trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! (Mark)24
And again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through the
eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of
God. (Matthew)
25 When his disciples
heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, (Matthew)26
they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who
then can be saved? 27
And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible,
but not with God: for with God all things are possible. (Mark)27
The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
(Luke)27
Then answered Peter and (Matthew)28 began to say unto
him,
(Mark)27
Behold, we have forsaken all, (Matthew)28 and have followed
thee.
(Mark)27
What shall we have therefore? (Matthew)
(Luke
18:23, 24, 27; Matthew
19:22-25, 27; Mark
10:22-24, 26-28)
29 And Jesus answered
and said (Mark)28
unto them, Verily I say unto you, that ye which have followed me, in
the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his
glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve
tribes of Israel. (Matthew)29
There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or
father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, (Mark)29
for my name’s sake (Matthew)29 and the gospel’s;
(Mark)29 for the kingdom of
God’s sake, (Luke)30
but he shall receive an hundredfold now in this (Mark)30
present (Luke)30
time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children,
and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come (Mark)29
shall inherit everlasting life. (Matthew)31
But many that are first shall be last; (Mark)30
and the last shall be first. (Matthew)
(Mark
10:29-31; Matthew
19:28-30; Luke

God help us to understand a great many
things--increase our understanding O LORD. Let
us see You in the Works of Your Children who are

us to honor that work with our support. We
support You O LORD. Thank You for all things. Each One!

Brown,
a friend of mine, was talking with me today about why people do
not believe; because if they really believed in God and in what
God can do, they would break the doors down of the church trying
to get in. He was saying, that people need to believe things
from the bottom of their feet to the top of their head. I, like
you, know that if you believe in something, in accomplishing
something, in doing a particular thing, whether it's possible or
not, as a child of God, it will probably happen in your
lifetime; but definitely in God's timing.
I was telling him, that it is very
interesting human behavior for a person to go outside, without
an umbrella, when they know it's going to rain. I tell him it
must be like, not really believing the forecast is correct; that
the forecaster will get it right this time. Dr. Brown says, it
is as if the person doesn't really know something that they do
know. And my question to him was, is knowing believing?
Later that day, as I was driving home from
the school bus drop-off point, at the intersection as I was
standing at the red traffic light, a school bus was making the
right turn into the lane of traffic next to me. It was a tight
turn, and though I was 3 to 4 feet before the end of my lane,
she was afraid to make the turn. (In
life, we cannot trust what we see, what we hear, what we taste,
what we smell , what we touch; we can only trust in God.) She had decided to back the bus up and of
course there was one coming traffic at this the rush hour in
Stone Mountain. So instead, I ushered a handy signal, with a
circular motion, for her to come forward and I could see, that
she had a clearance of about three feet. As she got closer to
cut the margin to 2 feet she decided to stop.
In life, sometimes when we reached the
pivot point, as the bus driver had, when we have reached the
crest of the hill, or the point of no return, whether we know it
or not, and all that is left is going downhill, sometimes, in
life, we put on the brakes. Do not put on the brakes when you
have worked hard, and gone to the crest of the hill, and you're
almost at your goals. When you have made it to the top of the
hill, this means you have worked really hard climb that tall
hill, overcame obstacles after obstacles, overcame our fears,
overcame our heart aches and pains, and overcame our desire to
stop and go back down the hill. So now, at the top of the hill
all that is left is going down. Going down is always, not always
easy, because it could be rocks on the trail, you could take the
wrong trail, and you can go to fast, and you always have to look
out for perils, see traps along the way.
So the bus driver finally believed me. She
had to look past what she saw, she saw that she was about to hit
my car; she felt fear because she knew she was going to hit my
car if she continued, look past the fear: but what I'm not
telling you is this, the bus driver, the lady looked around at
the other faces in the other cars who are watching the
situation, very encouraging looks, and looks of confidence gave
her the encouragement and confidence she needed to go down her
hill; make the turn. And guess what, her hill was not a hill at
all, but a clear passage that looked like it had an obstacle.
May you have godly fear only and be strong, Christ is by your
side. “…and, lo, I am with you always…”

YAHWEH-YIREH, O LORD MOST HIGH, please
continue to give us the confidence, the Christ Confidence to
move without fear of the unknown and without fear of our enemies
because we must know that You are always with us. Thank You for
Your Presence, or your Omnipresence. Thank You for all things. Each One!

By not using God’s (El-Shaddai’s) personal names, are we
offending El-Shaddai (God)?
“Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for
the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in
vain.”
EXODUS 20:7
(KJV)
“For thou shalt worship no other God: for the Lord, whose name
is jealous, is a jealous God:”
EXODUS 34:14
(KJV)
G
-o-d.
Remember, when someone uses the word GOD; we really do not know
if they mean a little “g” or a large “G” do we? Also, the word
“god,” God can mean many things to different people; so when
they say g-o-d, find out which God they are talking about. God
has a name and people, God's children, El-Shaddai's children,
must begin to use it more than the word G-o-d. Imagine using one
of God's (hear El-Shaddai's) name more often during the course
of your busy day, more than the word God.
Could we believe that it would have an
effect on our surroundings as does the word Jesus; with Jesus
being the English interpolation of the name Yeshua. Here the
actual word for Christ; Christos, has not changed much at all).
Is there a mystery here; or some hidden truth? The Hebrews
accept our use of Jehovah because they know us as Gentiles. The
name “Jehovah” was created (incorrectly) into religious
acceptance and into the Bible in 1512.
Please note how interesting it is that the
word Christ has not changed much over the centuries but for the
“O-S” (for computer geeks, that does not mean the Christian
Operating System or does it?). The name of Christ by which we
are called, has had insignificant changes down through the
centuries. Is there a mystery here; or some hidden truth? Is
there a mystery here; or some hidden truth?
Using El-Shaddai's Holy, Spiritual name,
Y-A-H-W.-E-H, should cause of a spiritual impact with spiritual
things than the moniker, God, which is used as a universal word
to name the deity of a society or group of people. Use in the
word God is like this— Instead of saying to your wife, “Hello
Carol, would you like a glass of water?” It would it sound like
this, “Hello wife, would you like a glass of water?” Or “Hello
woman, would you like a glass of water?” Or “Hello female, would
you like a glass of water?” This expresses what someone is, not
their name.
Do you get it? Can you see the word G-O-D,
or g-o-d, or G-o-d, are words which describe a deity of some
type. So some people's God is money. Some people's god is their
job. Some people's god is their children. Some people’s god is
their pastor. Some people's god is __________, you fill in the
blank.
The next time someone is talking about
God, whether in church, on the soccer feel, in the airport, or
sitting in the cafeteria; just ask them if they're talking about
Christ. Make Christ your G-O-D today; Jesus is LORD.
El-Shaddai, below it, thank You for you being here for us
always. Thank you for hearing our prayers and responding
to them. Thank You for looking past indiscretions and not
inhaling out in pure fragrances. That the works of our hands and
the desire to our hearts bring a smile upon your face through
Christ I pray amen.Thank You for all things. Each One!

The keys to curing all disease (dis-ease) lies within the Bible,
within Christ.
“The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to
their kinds
and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their
kinds. And God saw that it was good.”
“Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face
of the whole earth
and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be
yours for food.”
GENESIS 1:12; 1:29
(NIV)
M
ichael
Johnson
believes that the Holy Spirit has given him the answers for many
of the worlds diseases (hear dis-ease) and illnesses. The cure
for all disease is within the Bible. Michael says that the Holy
Spirit speaks to him to tell him which plants can help mankind
for which disea
se.
He
says that the LORD has given him many cures for many of the
diseases which afflict man today.
Use this simplification of one of
Michael's God-given principles. Michael wants to know; are you
diagnosed with HIV or AIDS? Would you like to be cured from HIV
or AIDS? eBlessings (www.eBlessings.us)
has teamed up with Michael Johnson,
the herbal physician from Jamaica to bring you, initially, one
of the God-given principles which was given to Michael for you.
eBlessings believes that these scriptures can be applied to any
illness (perhaps the first set of Psalms scriptures); but
Michael is bringing you this procedure to cure HIV/AIDS and its
related conditions.
In the Bible, there are various Psalms
which can cure you of any illness that negatively impacts your
life. But before reading the Psalms, you have to turn to the
East and kneel down, just like praying--be penitent because you
are going to go before the LORD. You also have to call upon the
true name of the Creator YAHWEH
TZABAOTH, YESHUA EMMANUEL, which is the son, and
ELOHIM TZABAOTH, who is the Holy Spirit.
When you use this procedure, please use
the King James Version of the Bible. Also please follow the
instructions concerning the number of times each scripture is to
be read per day plus the number of days which this procedure is
to be followed. Also, each scripture is to read out loud; not
loudly, but speak it with your voice so your ears can hear.
Anoint the top center (mole (your baby soft spot)) with castor
oil in the sign of a cross each time you use this procedure;
saying, "LORD, anoint me in the true name of the Father,
YAHWEH
TZABAOTH, in the true name of Your Son, YESHUA EMMANUEL, and in
the true name of the Holy Spirit, ELOHIM TZABAOTH."
Let’s start with these three Psalms first; the cure for
HIV. Psalms: 91, 13, 42. Read three times a day for 13
days. Next let's look at Psalms to cure the AIDS virus.
Psalms: 113, 91, 42. Read three times a day for 13 days.
Think of it as your spiritual food; your soul food. Most
important is the third set of Psalms for SIN; it is directed
towards the sin in your life. Read Psalms 62, 91 and
42.
After each reading give thanks. Example:"Thank You
YAHWEH
TZABAOTH, YESHUA EMMANUEL, and ELOHIM TZABAOTH, for healing
me."
When you start this procedure, please contact:
anthony@eblessings.us.
We want to track your progress.
ELOHIM, Abba Father, thank You for your
glorious way of doing things through mankind. Let us not ignore
those things which You have given us to heal one another and
ourselves. In Christ, we give You all the glory. Thank You for all things. Each One!
Bless One!
Where the head goes, the body follows; where Christ goes, we
must follow.
“Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ,
and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is
God.”
1 CORINTHIANS 11:3
(NIV)
“For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head
of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.”
EPHESIANS 5:23
(NIV)
A
friend of mine
and I were having a conversation. He was telling me about a
pastor who was saying that he knew where his congregation were
spiritually, because their tithes and offerings were not where
they should be. Their tithes and offerings were off the mark,
lower than they had been before. The Holy Spirit is incredible;
ELOHIM SABBAOTH is incredible. He will show you a spiritual
thing if you are looking. So I heard what this person was
saying, and then I heard what the person had said when they
initially began the conversation; that was, “Where ever the head
goes, the body follows. Isn't that right, Allen?" “Of course
you're right,” I said. I initially thought of the human body,
and the head; that body can't go anywhere without it.
Christ, being the head of the church--the
Church as the body follows the head, Christ. Jesus, Yeshua
Emanuel, gave his life as an example as well as sacrifice on our
behalf. Christians are followers of Christ. So yes, wherever He
goes, the body, the Church will follow—and more importantly
should follow. And I'm also receiving from the Holy Spirit right
now, that the body does not have eyes like a head does;
therefore, the head has the vision—the head being Christ.
As the Holy Spirit added insight during
that conversation, I understood that often a pastor’s woes,
comes from himself—as they head goes, so goes the body. So, if
you have a problem in your home, in your church, at work (where
you are the supervisor, the leader), spiritual leader, or the
head of the household, you have responsibility to monitor the
activities of those on your care and provide correction in cases
where it is necessary. So, when you're in a situation where
you're upset because your head of household, your spiritual
leader, your supervisor, or your educator is not adhering to
what you believe are the characteristics of God or Christ, then
that is when one must realize, you must realize that they are
not the head of your life, but Christ Jesus is the head; Yeshua
Emanuel, is the head of your life. As the head goes, the right
mental attitude, the correct thinking, not “stinking thinking,”
positive things happen. The attitude Christ wore, we have to
wear.
YAHWEH,
Most High, give us understanding to know that we should not
place You on the shelves of our lives to pull down only when we
want to use You to get what we want. Let us receive the
knowledge of the power in Your True Names.
Thank You for all things. Each One!
Bless One! Enjoy your day.
You are never alone. When in fear, remember, you are never
alone. Speak Up!
“And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then

KINGS 6:17 (NIV)
G
reat Cloud of
Witnesses -1.This
morning I was sitting still, listening for the Lord. And the
Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, really showed me the image of
Michelangelo’s sketch of a man with outstretched arms. It was
said to me that this was a way for a person if they turned into
the wind, to face into the wind, to receive a large amount of
Chi energy. This came out of nowhere and I see it as a treasure,
as many of such communications that I receive and write down.
For many of you it may seem quite peculiar, but I am learning to
foster and grow that part of my spiritual existence, my being.
It is called spiritual growth.
Many
of us interact with the holy family of God every day without
knowing it. We may call it: intuition, happenstance,
coincidence, or being in the right place at the right time. But
God's holy family are all around us--- I do mean, all around.
The Bible calls them “a great cloud of witnesses”; “Therefore,
since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let
us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily
entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out
for us.” Hebrews 12:1 (NIV) People like to relate this to a
sporting event as the reason why Paul said this this way. He may
have been saying:
1)
That since we have so many people who were Saints that have gone
on to be with the Father before us and not to mention the Angels
who are watching, perhaps we should stop doing those things
which we are doing in private and think no one else sees;
because there is a great cloud of witnesses who are joining
Christ in watching over you (throw off everything that hinders…
and the sin…).
2)
And once you get the realization that Christ is with you always,
and He has an entourage of Holy Angels, who join the Angels that
are already with you, especially if you have children (they have
Guardian Angels; “‘See that you do not look down on one of
these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven
always see the face of my Father in heaven.’” Matthew 8:10 (NIV)).
And
Paul is saying, “Let’s do this thing! Because we have a bunch of
people behind us, beside us, in front of us, above us, below us,
and all around us who are willing and able to help us, only if
we ask (I am not talking about necromancy here—I am talking
about talking to Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Angels and the
Saints (Saints include Prophets, Kings, Queens, Princes, Holy
People of God). Ask the Holy Spirit for help, ask Jesus, as God;
ask for assistance.
ADONAI, please I beseech You to OPEN the EARS of the readers of
this prayer to hear You and Your Holy Family according to Your
Will for their lives and the lives they touch, in Jesus' name,
Yeshua, I ask. Through Christ, I
command it to be so right now.
Thank You for all things. Each One!
Bless One! Enjoy your day.
It is
imperative for us Christians to die daily; here is a way to do just
that.
“Then
he said to them all:
“If
anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his
cross daily and follow me.
For whoever wants to save his life will lose
it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it.””

S
piritual Development Tool.
As a
new or older Christian
you may have asked someone, “How do I grow spiritually?” You may or
may not have received the answer which you wanted or needed. Reading
the Bible and listening to your pastor’s sermons may not be giving
you the day-to-day spiritual growth you are expecting. Or you may
not understand what you are reading or you may have forgotten what
the pastor’s sermon was about 15 minutes after you get home from
church.
This is a
handy tool which you can use daily to track your progress as a
Christian. It is a Christian training exercise to get you to the
point in your spiritual development where you will have Christ
Confidence to do those things which the LORD requires of us daily.
Let me
explain to you how this works. You want to print this page and take
it with you daily. In the space provided either place a number there
or a “l” to signify “one” notation of the negative attribute or the
positive attribute. At the end of the day, at night before you read
your Bible, add them up and see which category has the highest
number of notations. It is obvious that the negative attribute which
has the highest number needs the most work. The positive attribute
which has the most notations is the one which you exhibit the most.
And that is the way it goes. Try it and email it to your friends to
let them try it too. It is a tool for spiritual development. It
works if you use it.
To keep
it simple, I will not give you a rating chart; you only add the
number of times per day you see the exhibited behavior on the day in
question. Read the entire list before starting.

“He

out evil spirits
and to
heal every disease and sickness.”
MATTHEW 10:1
(NIV)

Let me
share this personal story with you. There was a family who had a son
who was diagnosed as schizophrenic. His grandfather was diagnosed as
paranoid schizophrenic. The father had long left the family before
his son was diagnosed with this mental disorder. This only
exacerbated the situation. His relationship with his father as well
as with his mother impacted/impacts his challenge considerably.
After
years with the family dealing with the situation, and the father
giving input to no avail--only to be frustrated by the ignoring of
his suggestions--even though some of the family members believe he
was the reason for his son's mental disorder. The father's new wife
objected strongly to his son moving in with them; and strongly
objected to his even visiting them. As the years passed by, numerous
incidents happened at the son's mother's home, now with a new
husband in the house. The younger brother kept his father abreast of
the situation. Before the new husband came on the scene, the father
was only informed of the worst incidents and on occasion was called
when some of them had just happened or were in progress.
After
years of fasting and praying--praying, expecting and believing in
deliverance--to no avail--frustration turned into the nightmare of
"What to do?" In this situation, as in any situation for the
born-again Christian, the Holy Spirit-filled Christian, or the new
Christian; know this, we are all in a spiritual battle, in spiritual
warfare 24 hours a day seven days a week. When the Bible says, pray
always, this is because the warfare does not cease, it may change,
the frequency may change, the potency may change, but it will always
be coming because the enemies of God could not sleep. But not too
worry--God and the Holy Family of God do not sleep either. So
Jesus’ disciples asked, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his
parents, that he was born blind?” John 9:2 So we can see the
evidence of the glory of God. ““Neither
this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but
this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his
life.”” John 9:3 (NIV)
In your
situation today, no matter what it is, allow the LORD to exist in
the midst of it. Tell Him about it from your perspective and above
all, be thankful in your situation—I cannot tell you how many
spiritual doors this will open for you. “Sing and make music in
your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for
everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 5:19-20
(NIV)
Yeshua, thank You for giving the opportunity to exercise our
spiritual powers which you have given us. Show us how to perfect
them in ourselves to the benefit of others. Let it all be to
Your Glory O CHRIST. And do not allow
the enemy to hinder our spiritual growth in You. Thank You
Father Elohim. Each One!
Bless One! Enjoy your day.

D
r. Peter Orji
asked me to be more transparent. This devotional is an attempt to be
more transparent. Also i want to share with you concerning my
example of waiting on the Lord. Recently I completed the design, the
new design of the original Wardaddy logo, a "Stop
the Violence" patch originally directed towards raising
awareness about family violence because of my personal experience
with it. Wardaddy, is the name that I gave my father in the novel (WARDADDY)
about his life, and our lives with him. My father was diagnosed as
paranoid schizophrenic and we lived a terrifying 13 year ordeal of
hell. He was at war with us and himself; therefore the name, the
moniker: "Wardaddy." This name was created sometime around 1988;
perhaps as early as 1984--maybe during the experience.
A
screenplay was written, as a form of therapy and a way to share our
experience, the experience of our family, that we had with our
father--to share that experience with the world. The name of the
screenplay change from, "Wardaddy," to "Bricks," to "Without
Intent," back to "Wardaddy." An independent film was attempted from
the screenplay while living in San Francisco, with a partner, Edward LaBorde who lived in Oakland, California. Edward has gone on to make
a major motion picture, entitled: "Me and
Mrs. Jones";
which can be found in
Blockbuster or online where you purchase videos. Additionally,
there was an oil painting by and artist who I do not remember which
featured Michael Williams in the Wardaddy Poster painting.
The plan
with the independent film was to take the proceeds and to help the
poor people in the community, in the black community. I prayed and
prayed and prayed, and believed, and believed, and believed--and it
was a bust. it did not happen, the film did not get made. I was
brokenhearted. My wife was brokenhearted. We moved back to Atlanta
wondering why Guy did not allow it to happen. Now this is my example
of waiting on the Lord. So first of all, the LORD allowed me and my
family to go through what we went through with my father. Then He
gave me the inspiration to turn it into a therapeutic
screenplay--though it failed--it was not time. I was hurt, was
really angry with Yeshua but knew and know that if Elohim wants
something to happen, then it will be so.
So the
Wardaddy name came in the 1980's along with the screenplay. The
United States was not involved in any war with any country (openly).
So in 1991 we moved to San Francisco to make a movie, from the
screenplay. We moved back to Atlanta in 1998-99. I began writing the
novel from the screenplay, in fact I had started in San Francisco or
Oakland. For the movie, we made Wardaddy T-shirts, Wardaddy hats,
and many types of memorabilia.
While it
MEGA FEST, in Atlanta a few years back, a young African-American
prophet spoke prophecy into our lives, into the life of eBlessings,
the eBlessings family--that Wardaddy was going to be very very BIG.
He was extremely excited, and his wife said she didn't see in this
excited much when prophecy came, but this was something that he saw
as extremely big. Another person also prophesied God's Prosperity
and Glory upon eBlessings this year. Now, look where we are. We, the
United States are involved, and engulfed in two wars on the verge of
World War III. And the person who is involved, the leader of the
world whose hand made it so--his middle name begins with the letter
"W"--the "W" as in the Wardaddy logo. How interesting isn't it, how
God works? Now the Wardaddy logo, the
"Stop the Violence" logo, has as its center a "W."
You see
how God works. While waiting on God to move on the Wardaddy project,
I never stopped working on it. Now God's time is now, and I am
prepared to receive His Glory. Help me to help raise awareness
around the world so we can have
WORLD PEACE WITHOUT VIOLENCE. You say what am I talking about?
The Holy Spirit spoke to me, and told me that the people involved in
the Wardaddy antiwar movement will be funneled into the eBlessings,
"Each
One!
Bless
One!"
movement. We will be selling Wardaddy T-shirts, cups, mugs, hats
and all types of memorabilia in an effort to raise the consciousness
in America and around the world so we may have world peace without
violence. Pre-order today at:

(pp. 283-284)
Others Come to the Sepulchre
(NOW
during that time, the other women also went to the sepulchre again.)4
And it came to pass (Luke)(upon their)5 entering into the
sepulchre, (Mark)4 as they were much
perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining
garments. (Luke)(One of them was)5
a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white
garment; and they were affrighted, (Mark)5
and bowed down their faces to the earth. (Luke)
5 And the angel
answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye
seek Jesus (Matthew)6 of Nazareth, (Mark)5
which was crucified. (Matthew)5 Why seek ye the
living among the dead? 6 He is not here,
(Luke)6
for he is risen, as he said. (Matthew)6 Remember how he spake
unto you when he was yet in Galilee, 7
saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful
men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. (Luke)
(Luke
24:4-7; Mark
16:5-6;
Matthew
28:5-6)
6 Come, see the place
where the Lord lay. (Matthew)7But go your way
(Mark)7
quickly, and (Matthew)7 tell his disciples
and Peter that (Mark)7
he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into
Galilee; there shall ye see him: (Matthew)7
as he said unto you. (Mark)7
Lo, I have told you. (Matthew)8 And they remembered
his words, (Luke)8 and they went out
quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were
amazed
(Mark)8
with fear and great joy; (Matthew)8 neither said they any
thing to any man; for they were afraid, (Mark)8and did run to bring his
disciples word. (Matthew)
9 And as they went to
tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And
they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. 10
Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that
they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me. (Matthew)
11 Now when they were
going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto
the chief priests all the things that were done. 12
And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel,
they gave large money unto the soldiers, 13 saying, Say ye, His
disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. 14 And if this come to
the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. 15
So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying
is commonly reported among the Jews until this day. (Matthew)
9 And (they)
returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the
eleven, and to all the rest. 10
It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of
James, and other women that were with them, which told these
things unto the apostles. 11
And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them
not.

Yeshua Emmanuel, I proclaim the
readers are being helped in their understanding in the matters
of the deep spiritual things, so we do not miss Your Anointing,
Your Move, Your Hand as You move across this land, across our
paths, and allow us to see You in every attempt by the Saints to
empower other Saints with Your Word, with the words from Your
Mouth. Increase our understanding now, through Christ, Yeshua,
make it so. Each One!

Please see Schizophrenia – 1, Monday, 24 September 2007. In any
situation for the born-again Christian, the Holy Spirit-filled
Christian, or the new Christian; know this, we are all in a
spiritual battle, in spiritual warfare 24 hours a day seven days
a week. When the Bible says, pray always, this is because the
warfare does not cease, it may change, the frequency may change,
the potency may change, but it will always be coming because the
enemies of God could not sleep. But not too worry--God and the
Holy Family of God does not sleep either.
As
Christians, expect to grow spiritually, whether you want to or not.
You have made a commitment, you have signed the dotted line and now
God is going to grow you up. This growth will be through
circumstances. “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me
he might have peace. And the world ye shall have tribulation: but be
of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 (NIV)
Therefore, in this situation know that the mother, the father, the
son, his brother, and the new stepfather are all going to learn a
number of lessons in this spiritual exercise.
Now
understand this, everyone has a specific lesson that they are to
learn, and additionally, the lessons to be learned by others, are
impacted upon you learning your lesson. Once you have learned your
lesson in an area, a lesson that involves others, and their lessons
also, then you will be released from what the lesson. Having to
learn a spiritual lesson because you signed up for it, is a
wonderful. Count it all joy, though at the time it may be difficult.
Take a short rest and prepare to receive, to move onto the next
lesson that's for you in the new situation. What lesson are you in
now?
We are
all hands together like grapes in a bunch. If one is touched, we all
feel it—sooner or later. As we learn our lessons and grow
spiritually, it allows us to be released from specific situations—in
the interim, others are also released and allowed to learn a new
lesson. If you have any dealings with schizophrenia, or paranoid
schizophrenia or any demonic influence, find the elders of your
church or find a person who knows how to deliver a person from an
unclean spirit. Have a blessed and a wonderful day in Christ.

I'm so busy these days with the eBlessings website, that it is
difficult sometimes to set aside the time necessary to complete
and publish the devotional onto the website. So in an effort to
facilitate my time and to make time for other responsibilities
of the Ministry, I had decided not to put up a new daily
devotionals, but to put up past devotionals which are already
done in lieu of new daily devotionals, which are typically new
to that day.
So I thought of a way to do just what I
said, it took some time, but I figured it out. I have since
apologized to God, but then in hindsight, I thought, “I had best
run this God. Let me run this by Christ to see what He has to
say. And when I did, the answer was “No.” It was quick and
simple. And I did not want to hear it— though it was said by the
Lord. So therefore, the devotionals, the daily devotionals will
continue. Now it is not like I don't have, or receive the
devotionals from the Lord, from the Holy Spirit; because I do. I
have so many devotionals here that I have not been published,
though not quite complete and have to be laid out and set up for
the website before being published. It that takes time for the
layout. So there is not a shortage of devotionals from me or
from the LORD.
All of this to say, when you make a
decision, or plan to make a decision—include God. Include God
first. People often forget that Jesus, that God wants, desires
to be an integral part of our lives. If you hear anyone say
differently, that is a lie from hell. Forget about making any
decision without God. The decision will be a carnal, fleshly,
selfish decision if it does not begin and end with God knowing
all about it—and APPROVING. Not God knowing from osmosis,
hypnotism, happenstance, “He knows my heart” (that is a
devotional)—type of hocus pocus, but speaking to Him directly,
verbally, with physical words coming out of your mouth.
Remember, you and I no longer need a priest to speak directly to
God or to CHRIST as in the days of old. The demons want you to
believe that you cannot speak directly to God or His Beloved
Son, Christ Jesus. You and I can.
So the next time you make the decision
include God—because you know, you nor I can do anything without
God knowing about it (God is omniscient)—so, let Him know, that
you know that He is on your team each time you do anything that
may impact the completion of God’s Will in His Creation. AND,
and that is a big “and,” invite Him, Christ, the Holy Spirit,
and any member of God’s Holy Family to go onto the playing field
with you to get involved in your game. Our team is God’s entire
Holy Family. Invite them into your world for positive change.

CHRIST, help us to understand that satan does not have power
over us. That we have power over him;
and the only way he has power over us is that we give it to him.
Let us learn and know how not to give him power. Thank you ABBA FATHER. Each One! Bless One! Enjoy your
