Your Heart App


This post is for anyone who’s in a rut right now, or feel as if they are stuck. Is it you? If God were to pay you a nice little ole visit to perform an audit on your life from January on up until now, what would He find? Would He find that you’ve been utilizing ALL of your gifts and talents? Would He find you to be more humble and selfless? Most importantly, would He find GROWTH? Where are you right now? What are you doing differently from last year? Have you started that business, wrote that book, lost that weight, found that new job? No? Are you even close?

One day I was asking myself some of the same questions I’m asking you. The year is about to come to a close and a lot of things have changed for the better for me. But after setting dates for certain things to occur in my life to only find that those dates were catching up to me but I had nothing to give these dates, I started to get disappointed. After making a few bold declarations, I noticed that I was just filling my chest up with air and making huge exhales. THAT’S IT.

Stay with me, ok? I’m going to let you in my life right now, (as if I already haven’t lol) So I’m currently working in an industry that I feel I have professionally outgrown and I am looking for something else. In other words, shawty READY TO GO! Well, for the last month or so with the help of my life coach, I have been taking more aggressive actions to find that NEW PLACE. Well have you found it Tanzy?...........NO! I don’t think I have run into so many closed doors in my life, Jesus. Lol. I decided to halt my attempts and go back to the drawing board…GOD.

I’m like, “What’s up with these closed doors God? I mean, I know it’s not me right? Or is it?” I didn’t get an answer from Him until I was on the phone with my life coach telling her my progress. Out of no where a HUGE REVELATION dropped kicked me in the spirit. My life coach got BLESSED and so did I, mayne!

Here’s the revelation. Pay close attention. During your journey with God and as YOU and the seasons change, periodically you will have to update your HEART APP. What’s a HEART APP?

                                      Psalm 34:7
“Delight yourself also in the LORD; and he shall give you the desires of your heart.”

I mentioned in a post some months ago titled The Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow is Real a heavy post that talked about the DESIRES OF THE HEART and YOUR PURPOSE IN GOD. This new revelation though, made the concept of the desires of your heart more clear. See sometimes the desires of our heart can run stale. Sometimes the issues of life which are housed in the heart, clogs the pores of your desires causing them to lose all freshness. Every now and then the waves of life can flood your heart and carry the desires of your heart with it.

You know how your phone asks you permission to update the apps that you have on your phone? This is the same thing. That suffocating feeling you’re experiencing right now is God getting your attention that you my dear, need to update your HEART APP. You’re stuck because your HEART APP hasn’t been updated. The screen of your spirit is frozen and your heart has the potential of malfunctioning. Why? Because you haven’t updated your HEART APP.

Yes, God has given us FREE WILL on the surface. But on the deeper part of us lies the desires of the heart and the highest part of us is GOD’S WILL. WOW! Where am I going? Your HEART APP has to be aligned to GOD’S WILL in order for you to operate effectively. My pastor stated it so nicely last Wednesday during his series titled, Manifesting the Promises of God, he put it this way, you have to come into agreement with GOD’S PROMISES. When your YES is combined to GOD’S YES, then it’s got to happen! BOOM!

Let’s sit back down and watch MY LIFE again. I have accepted that the only reason I have been running into closed doors after closed door is because where I’m looking ain’t where God is looking. What I think I want is NOT WHAT GOD KNOWS I NEED. I’m trying to play it safe and God is like “Now Tanzy you know I put too much in you for you to try and play it safe.”

Your HEART APP NEEDS to be updated on a continuous basis because it is quite possible that the desires of your heart don’t even sit well with God. Somebody with jacked up desires can read Psalms 34:7 and say, “Well that’s a lie cuz God ain’t fulfilled the desires of MY HEART yet!” You can’t blame God for not fulfilling your wretched desires. You want a husband but YOU’RE EVIL and don’t even know how to submit! You want a wife but you’re a HO! Say whaaaaatttt? Chile boom! Or what about, you want to win the lottery, but your baldheaded self don’t even TITHE and you’re selfish as all get out! Whatchu know about that? (In my T.I. voice) In my real ghetto street voice, 'Ain’t nothin' gone pop shawty if you don’t update that HEART APP yo! You feel me?"

You have to sit YOUR WILL DOWN and muster up all the energy inside of you to ask GOD to update the desires of your heart that they may align with HIS WILL. I’m telling you my wonderful friends, once you do that, things will start to look different, the mysteries of life will start to form faces and make more sense. Closed doors will transform into windows of opportunity. Behind that, "DO NOT ENTER" sign will be a sign that reads, “MAKE A RIGHT HERE”. I’m going to cut it off here cuz chile I have already said a mouthful! In other news if you have not purchased my novel TEARS OF KINGS please do so at www.tanzyalexis.com. If you need a LIFE COACH check out my sister ALEXIS LIOR she rocks! And lastly, if you need a church home come kick it with me at Centennial M.B. Cburch.. Until next time, UPDATE YOUR HEART APP! ;-)

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...

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...

When A Man Findeth...

  Proverbs 18:22  "Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord." Current mood: I have some splendid news! Last week one of my colleagues was inspired to restart her blog after almost 4 years! I'd been trying to get her to do this since we'd met. Nothing like picking up something you left behind and realizing it's one of the things that you've always needed.  That sounds like a word. Then one of my homeboys called me on Valentine's day and solicited my wisdom for proposing to his long time girlfriend. He was a little nervous about what her response might be. I basically told him that he needed to prepare himself more to be emotionally and mentally available for her once they say, "I do." As opposed to trying to brace himself for rejection. I also informed him that marriage does nothing but magnify what has and hasn't been dealt with prior to a couples' nuptials and exposes anything that...
