I'm Friends with the Monster






So, I just used up two posts blasting the immature behaviors of petty Christians, thought I would have used a third post but I'm being led to speak on this; our monsters. Not the monsters we've called the ghostbusters on, the monsters we have become FRIENDS WITH. I actually mentioned in a recent post that we create our own monsters and wonder why we can't sleep at night. Those are the ones we actually are friends with.

You may ask, "Well how I can be friends with something that I am afraid of?" 

Easy. We have issues. Some more than other but the problem arises when we decide to eat sleep and kick it with these issues, using the played out, "God is still working on me." Or "I'm under construction," excuses. Really? How long are we going to keep those scaffolds attached to us? How long will we keep putting off the stone-washing and the replacement of that bad concrete surrounding our temples?

It's time to face these monsters. Stop being a Marg and Homer Wimpson and confront these monsters. They only have the power YOU GAVE THEM. I am officially telling you to growup and I'm pulling the security blanket out of your hands. You should be holding onto God anyway. He's your security blanket. 

Oh, I hear you now saying, "My monsters aren't mean. I can tolerate them." Sure you can and the more you tolerate the more you stagnate. You ain't going nowhere until you're willing to evict these pity party friendly demons out of your life!

I'm reminded of the movie "Beloved", when the main character played by Oprah Winfrey allowed a demon (Thandi Newton) from her past to live with her. She'd never really confronted it, which is why it was grown. She thought she could love it and feed it. But no!!! It was never satisfied and it begin to drive her crazy! I don't want to spoil the movie if you haven't seen it but she had to confront it in order to get it out of her house!.

And that's what I'm saying, you can't be friends with your monsters. They are draining you and they block you from receiving what's good and perfect from God. If they're anything like the monsters I was friends with, they will tell you lies like, "You don't deserve it." and "You're not worth it."

Your monsters are friends with the enemy! And they came from all of your past decisions and life occurrences that you never fully came to terms with. They are a part of the seedy residue found caked up in the sewers of your past. Stop handing out "Woe is Me" flyers to people so that they can come play with you and your pretty demons and get rid of them for good! 

Get delivered! Be free! Kings and Queens thou art loosed! 

Galatians 5:1 GNTD

Freedom is what we have—Christ has set us free! Stand, then, as free people, and do not allow yourselves to become slaves again.

Strawberry Crush

Have you ever developed a crush for someone? How did you feel? How did you respond to this feeling? Did you challenge it? Did you explore it? Did it ever go away?  I remember my first crush. I was in first grade when I met Calvin. He was the cutest light bright I'd ever seen. My teacher caught on and would actually allow us to sit together. We would enjoy our innocent times, him making me laugh and me sharing my snacks. I loved him before I even knew what love was. But Calvin was a bad boy. He got in trouble a lot. I would take up for him too. But one day I would not be able to see him again because he moved away and transferred to another school. My heart was torn in half as I would miss him for a while.  That was about 24 years ago. Since then I've had a few crushes. None of them really went anywhere but to a disappointing dead end. Which has provoked me to seek understanding of what does "having a crush," really mean. In all honesty, having a crush on so

DEATH TO BOAZ!

If I hear another woman of God say she’s waiting on her “Boaz”, I’m going to scream my lungs bloody and hit her upside the head with an offering basket! Real talk! You’ve read the title, so you probably already can guess that this post is not going to be the nicest cup of tea you’ve had to drink. But you have to drink it and YES THIS IS YOUR BUSINESS! I hate to break it to you dear, BOAZ is not coming! Boaz was for Ruth and Ruth only. Boaz was tied to Ruth’s assignment. He is not TIED TO YOURS! I am afraid that the church has cooked up this lovely fairytale that every woman has a BOAZ designated for her. WRONG! If you go into the word, Boaz wasn’t even all that aaaaanndd Naomi helped Ruth come up with a cute little scheme to get homie’s attention. RUTH 3:1-5 One day Ruth’s mother-in-law Naomi said to her, “My daughter, I must find a home[a] for you, where you will be well provided for. 2 Now Boaz, with whose women you have worked, is a relative of ours. Tonight he wi

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
