Don't Let the Devil Catch You Lackin'!


I'm in an ON GUARD mode right now. Like you know how the U.S. was on high alert after the bombing in Boston? Yeah that's what I'm on...HIGH ALERT! When it comes to the devil, I'm not playing with him. He ain't never gone be a friend of mine! BOOM! But check this out, this is how you and I have to be at ALL TIMES! Why?

                                           1 Peter 5:8
Keep a cool head. Stay alert. The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. Keep your guard up.

You see the piece of scripture highlighted in purple? THIS IS WHY YOU NEED TO BE ON HIGH ALERT ALL THE TIME! DON'T LET THE DEVIL CATCH YOU LACKIN"! What does it mean to be caught LACKIN'? Actually this scripture above defined it for us. To be caught lackin'simply means, NAPPING, falling asleep at the wheel, being UNCAUTIOUS AND UNAWARE!

You know I have noticed in my own walk, that the devil tends to mess with me at certain times. 1) When I am working towards a blessing and 2) When I have made a declaration to do something RIGHT in a particular area of my life and to do it RIGHT FOR GOD! People tend to always want to make sure they warn you about how crafty and smart the devil is, forgeting that he is only crafy and smart when YOU ARE being unwitty and dumb. And when you are unwitty and dumb, when you're LACKIN'!  Even worse, we seem to give him credit for things that he didn't even put in work for half the time. We also like to give the devil privileges when he is on DEATH ROW! Letting him creep in cracked windows and doors for conjugal visits, serving him pieces of ourselves like he's our friend, when we know DOG-ON well this N%&! stay scheming and he phony as all get out! Somebody say "you lackin' fam and that ain't good yo!"

The devil has been jealous of God since he was in heaven. (One of the reasons why he got evicted with some of his homies!) The fact is, he can't stand it when you WILLINGLY participate in giving God glory. You know that face you make when someone tries to throw something in your face and you can tell they've been ITCHING to do it for the longest? hahaHA! Well that's the face he makes when you've given God glory. Guess what? He's going to do everything in his ballheaded power to catch you lackin! Matter of fact, he's going to funk with you anyway cause you're a KING'S KID ON A MISSION. But he can only get as close to you to reak havoc if YOU LET HIM! DON'T LET THE DEVIL CATCH YOU LACKIN'!

Hey! I just thought about someting funny lol You remember in the movie Love and Basketball when Sanaa Lathan's character was training in the gym with the rest of  her teammates and she made a score? She stayed in that BALLIN' stance for too long and the opposing team was able to one up her. SHE WAS CAUGHT LACKIN'! You can't get too cocky out'chere in these streets either when you win a victory because you have another one ahead! That in between time is the PERFECT OPPORTUNITY for the devil to get you! I remember when I was a babe in Christ, I stayed getting got cuz I was LACKIN'! Lackin' the WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD, lackin' common sense, and lackin' full control over myself and my action. SLEEPING AT THE WHEEL MAYNE!

It is important that we understand the devil's MO! Record his trends and patterns. Play close attention to how he moves. Don't ever let him steal your joy, don't ever let him steal your peace, don't ever let him steal your song cuz he WILL TRY IT!...in other words DON'T LET THE DEVIL CATCH YOU LACKIN'!

The Effectual Fervent Prayer

I am convinced that there is no such thing as an unanswered prayer. I believe I’ve touched on this before in an earlier post. But I’ve received some new revelations to add to my case. 2 Corinthians 1:20 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God. So does this mean that every prayer we send up, God says “Yes” to? Well, I must inform you, that it’s a little more complicated than that. Yet, it’s  not at all hard to understand. There is a three part transaction in this entire process. First we have OUR PRAYERS. Second, we have GOD’S PROMISES. Third, we have THE AMEN.” Yo, I’m so excited to explain this in full!  YOUR PRAYERS: The desires and issues of your heart are the language behind your prayers. Whatever interferences your heart experiences (that rhymes! Lol) determines the kind of prayer that you lift up to God. God will ALWAYS answer the prayer. Th...

Waiting for Superman

Songs of Solomon 2:8  "Listen! My beloved!  Look! Here he comes,  leaping across the mountains,  bounding over the hills." Well hello there! It's Misses Kill Your Vibes ALL 2019!!  And look a-here, tomorrow is Valentines Day. One of the most overrated, hyper worshipped, super advertised pagan holidays behind Christmas!  I HATE IT. You don't even get that day off for work. Yet people get worked up off an imaginary naked angel baby shooting heart arrows at other loose people.  I do not have time for that kind of violence.  I never do. I never did. Somehow I stumbled upon a section on my Facebook page that I thought no longer existed! So in 2009, as blogging begin to gain traction, Facebook would allow you a space to write notes. I would take advantage of it of course way before I started this page. It was pretty cool reading the stuff I wrote until I stumbled upon a host of love poems to some fantasy man god I'd molded fro...

Got Talent?

Matthew 25:23 His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.' Well hello there my friends! It's a great day to be alive. If I do say so myself. I pray that you all are really taking advantage of this time to become reacquainted with the fruit of the spirit. If you haven't yet, please catch the wave! I would like to consider myself as someone who's come up on the cheat codes for the type of tests that are inevitable for us believers.  Just so y'all know though, I get treated probably everyday because of and by this stuff. That's why I don't mind showing what I've gained so I can help people pass these tests. Yadig!  It's still been a heck of ride to say the least.   So this week we are going to parlay with the fruit of FAITHFULNESS. It's the seventh one in the bunch. And it's kind of sweet. It's s...
