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.

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...

Somebody Gotta DIE!

The HEAT IS ON , the pressure has been elevated, tensions are pressed, and the stakes are HIGH, JESUS ! And I'm in there like swimwear! What are you talking about Tanzy Alexis? Thanks for asking! I'm talking about THE STRUGGLE, THE GRIND, THE HUSTLE that comes with this walk of FAITH ! If there was ever a time for me to say that ISH has gotten REAL , then this is that time! But I was created for a time such as THIS and I will not give up! I will PRESS TOWARD THE MARK! KNOW DAT! Enough with all of my maniacal rambling, I must discuss the matter at hand. SOMEBODY GOTTA DIE! (In my Notorious B.I.G voice lol) One faithful Wednesday evening during bible study my wonderful pastor was talking to us about DIVINE DISTURBANCES and he must have mentioned that something in our lives would have to die in order for something NEW to be birthed in that season. I was standing in agreement with my pastor. But hear this, while I was nodding my head in agreement, I really truly believ...

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...
