2023! I'm back & Ready to say things.

The last post, August 29th 2015 pointing to the website i'm helping with (still active, and has 2 podcasts now!) 

Of course much has changed in over 7 years .. pandemic hit, sure did not see that one coming. Most importantly is i feel solid in my career now! 

The bible is a dynamic book or volume of books rather - 66 books. This literary masterpiece holds so much history, life lessons, and most importantly the key to salvation!! 

From the opening of nothingness to the end of revelation, the entire book just breaths life into the souls of those who read the "good book". 

Currently i'm studying Joseph (Gen 37-50)! Such an amazing study, his early life being put in the pit at 17 and ended up being 2nd in command over egypt! Joseph put its so eloquently "What you mean for evil, God meant for good"! Such an amazing revelation - all things work together for the Good that love him (Rom 8:28)!! 

I will work on multi part series .. the hardest part of communication rather it be spoken or written is narrowing down a point, a niche of the talk and conveying the idea. Communication is about a journey - Listening to an audiobook on TED talks and it mentions the speech is about a journey, go with the through line and work through to the end!

Thanks for checking up on me!

Fleeing only comes after . . .

James 4:7 says : Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist (oppose) the devil, and he will flee (seek safety by flight) from you.

Fleeing of the devil only comes after resisting and that resistance comes through submission to God. There is another similar scripture that ties into this in Matthew 17 ..

18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. 19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

Just something that came to me on my way home

Let Go, Let God!

When we talk about "letting go and giving it to God," we often encounter a curious paradox. Despite uttering these words, we frequently find ourselves caught in a cycle of complaining and further discussion. It's fascinating to consider that as human beings, we are fashioned in the image of God, the ultimate Creator who brought the world into existence through the power of speech. This extraordinary fact signifies that when we engage our mouths in a matter, we have the potential to speak things into existence.

However, it's crucial to be mindful of the implications of our words. When we take a situation that we have already entrusted to God and begin discussing it, we effectively remove it from His capable hands and place it back into our own. In a sense, we attempt to strategize and find solutions on our own, often succumbing to a negative mindset in the process. This contradicts the very essence of letting go and allowing God to work on our behalf.

Instead of perpetuating this cycle, let us intentionally choose a different path. Let us turn to prayer and determine within ourselves to settle the matter, firmly entrusting it to God. By doing so, we demonstrate genuine faith and reliance on the Almighty's wisdom and power. As we relinquish control and embrace the concept of "Let Go, Let God," we open ourselves up to the transformative work of the Divine in our lives.

Therefore, let us take this opportunity to remind ourselves and others of the profound truth encapsulated in the hashtag #LetGoLetGod. It serves as a powerful reminder to surrender our burdens, worries, and anxieties to the One who holds the universe in His hands. In doing so, we allow Him to manifest His perfect will and bring about the outcomes that surpass our understanding.

Embrace the power of letting go and giving it to God. Watch as He unfolds His miraculous work in your life and circumstances. Trust in His infinite wisdom and experience the peace that comes from releasing control and placing your faith in His divine guidance.
