DYING TO LIVE

This post is long overdo but I will keep it short and sweet! So, I have been completely uninspired as of late, which is why you guys haven’t heard from me in a while. But so much has happened since my last post. Preached my first sermon, danced my first solo praise dance, and sang my first solo. Yeah, a lot of firsts right? It all sounds good and yes I did my victory dance but I’ve still been feeling like I’m missing my mark on life. My high highs have been followed with some very severe lows masked with temporary accoutrements to satisfy my emotional distaste for my current state of living. Does that make any sense? Ok look, have you ever found yourself in pursuit of happiness and just when you think you found it, the feeling flees. Maybe I’m the only one that feels like I’m chasing butterflies or an imaginary friend.

One day I walked into my castle, barely breathing because I was exhausted mentally and physically. I fell onto my bed and I heard God loud in clear, “Tanzy, you’re dying to live.” That struck the proverbial chord in my shando, honey!

Understand this people, Jesus died so that we may HAVE LIFE. And He came that we may have life that more abundantly. The only dying we should be doing is that of the flesh which is kryptonite to our spirits. Other than that, you shouldn’t be dying to enjoy the sun, to enjoy THE SON! Your life is a gift from God and you should be free to open it everyday that He blesses you with to partake in all that it has to offer. You have so much to live for and DYING for it ain't one of them!

I will be the first to admit, that I’m not enjoying my life to its full degree. I’m the queen of self-sacrifice. I’ll deny myself even the smallest ounces of happiness without a shadow of doubt. Another problem; I have a high tolerance for pain and pressure. I don’t realize any of this until I’m drowning in a pool of emotions and near death!

DYING TO LIVE!

God never intended for us to lead this kind of life. He never intended for us to be on a hamster wheel, jumping through fire hoops, and walking a tight rope just to experience an ABUNDANT LIFE!

Romans 15:13

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

John 11: 25-26

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?"

John 5:39-40

“You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.…”

DYING TO LIVE!

Has anything resonated in your spirit yet? God wants you to be free in Him. Do you see what you’re doing wrong? If you don't know, I suggest you do some soul searching RIGHT NOW!  You could very be well operating in fear or any state of emotion that is not of God, sitting on the sidelines watching everyone else take risks while you’re suited up on the bench of LIFE!  Welp, it’s time to get up off that bench and BE FREE! Free to laugh, dance, sing, do cartwheels whatever, it doesn’t matter. Take yourself off that generic life support machine, unscrew those hinges, cut the cable cords, snap those strings, GET LOOSE!  No more DYING TO LIVE! You hear me?

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...
