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...

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...

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. ...
