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'!

Am I My Brother's Keeper?

According to Worldometers.com, there are 7 BILLION people in the world today. Did you read that? 7 BILLION! That’s an amazing figure if you ask me. It’s amazing because GOD took a few handfuls of dirt and breathed His own breath into a creature, a man, and He named him Adam. Then He pulled a rib from Adam and made another creature, a woman, and He named her Eve. From Adam and Eve came the FIRST OFFSPRINGS OF HUMANITY, Cain and Abel. After Cain KILLED Abel, Adam and Eve had more children and their children had children and so on, and so on and VOILA, 7 BILLION PEOPLE are on this Earth! But wait, let’s go back to that whole shebang about Cain killing Abel. How did this happen? The celebration of LIFE in the Garden of Eden had just begun and you mean to tell me somebody was killed ALREADY? You’ve got to be kidding me yo! Ya homeboy Cain got jealous of Abel basically because Abel received more favor from God. And it was not because God was showing any kind of favoritism either. ...

No Sex in The Champagne Room

Romans 12:1  “Therefore, I urge you, brot hers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship." Happy February my beautiful people from all over! Since it has been donned the month of LOVE , I'm not surprised that God was prepping my gaze the end of last year to speak on the matters and issues of the heart this month as it pertains to sex and romantic relationships. I typically shy away from these types of discussions part due to some very strong personal convictions.  But something in me is relatively excited this go round!    So last month, I celebrated 6 years of abstaining from sexual activity. I think it was the first 2 years that were more of a struggle because around that time I was still heavily idolizing marriage. You guys, I literally wrote 50 love poems to my "future husband," in desperate hopes of one day running into this unicorn of a man creature...

Beyond the Thunderdome

  Ephesians 6:11  Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. Hey there my beautiful people! How are y'all feeling?  I'll be honest and say right now I haven't been really feeling my best.  The only description I have for what I'm experiencing is, it's like as if I can feel the ebbs and flows of the world.  The heaving and lurching and violent rushing of waves crashing up against rocks.  I can truly say that I've found a new meaning of what it is to be anchored in Christ.  And yet I press!  Despite how I feel, I press on  towards the mark for the prize of the higher calling of Christ Jesus, like Apostle Paul told the Philippians in chapter 3 verse 14 of that book.  Now t hat right there should have done something in your shando.  (inner man, ha!)  I wanted to be transparent for anybody who may be feeling a similar way.  Be encouraged, beloved...
