( Random Excerpts From a Real Life Conversation )
O yeah u know how Psalm 37 says delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart...?When we delight ourselves in Him He literally gives us what we should desireso as long as u r in line with Him what u desire as long as it is not ungodly he has given to u to desiresometime there are things we desire in a spouse and we see them as soon as we meet them, but there also some things that we desire that God would ask us to call out of them in prayer...they may not be immediately obvious in the person but they are there
so yeah, that is what I was told
however also we must be aware that God's best is better than our best so we can never out dream or out-wish God so to speakHe said exceedingly abundantly more than we can ask or imagine so that tells us somethingmmso that is what I was told as regards our desired qualities in our husbands
hmmm....there is a prayer point that gets thing moving that a mentor once asked me to pray...
when u r in situations with ppl u r not sure abt...pray 'LET THERE B LIGHT' it is amazing...relate it to God's word being light...it shows all hidden intentions ..........
remember Heb 4:12 from the amplified says...the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the [a]breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.
Pray that prayer point fervently and watch God move
U'll c what u need to see and hear all u need to hearYou r walking on God's path and He won't allow u spend time on something that has no future so pray and ask Him to bring light because u need to know what steps to take and what to do. Let God and not time reveal.

THE BUSINESS MAN
Friday afternoon. He stood looking out of the cracked apartment window onto the busy streets below. The cars looked like ants. The trees had no leaves, just branches ...the remains of another winter season. Almost every house in the neighbourhood has ice glaciers streaking beneath the roofing. It was freezing as heck. They had just managed to survive the chilling - 30 degrees during the weekend still, he could feel the iciness stinging at his insides. He needed some warmth. He needed some hot heating. He wanted to be consoled. His stone-cold heavy heart needed someone or something to shed warmth into it, that in an odd way would awaken him to the life he had always wanted to live.
"Jesus loves you and wants you. Money and drugs won't take away the pain," ...the words from the other day replayed themselves in his head. She held his hands in hers and looked him straight in the eyes. He felt very weird. He'd been very wary of females....infact, he almost hated them. Yes,....he did. Ever since Danielle left him, broke his heart and poured his love down the drain with the dirty bath water, he swore revenge. Swore to live life on the edge, biggest player there ever was. Money maker, as long as he had success and fortues in the international stock markets, it was all he needed. He needed healing from bitterness and disgrace. His mother left his father when he was just a kid. He never met her but he had remained hopeful that all women were not the same when he met Danielle. But he was about to be fooled...."What gives this girl the guts to tell me about Jesus?" ..he thought. He looked up at her in attempt to lash out in anger but was paralyzed by her bright blue eyes. He wiped his eyes and looked again. She looked like an angel ... her words were plain, yet struck cords in him. His arguments were useless. She had an answer for everything. He was mad but helpless at the same time. The anger welled up to his neck but he couldn't let it out. The pain and hurt and bitterness came back. He clenched his fist and shook his hand out of hers. He stood up, towering over her. You could see the veins portruding along his arms. Jesse walked away....into the cold night and slammed the door behind him.
She ran after him. "Jesse !!! Give your life to Christ Jesse!!!!!!! Alchohol is no sedative to replace what u really need. Don't be overcome by evil but overcome it with good," he kept walking and disappeared into the dark alley.It's now friday afternoon. He's looking out of the cracked apartment window onto the busy streets below. The cars look like ants. He feels a comforting hand over his shoulder and turns around quickly. No one is there. Just darkness. Jesse steps away in a frenzy. He starts crying. No, big 'ol Jesse with the huge ego is actually wailing like a baby.....He slumped to the dusty floor and listened to the asian girl he met on the plane to New-York from Tokyo and had come to confide in due to her odd wisdom. He realized that untill did this one thing, everything else other than his career would continue to go wrong. His money would never save him. Finally, he whispers the words all of heaven had been waiting to hear ... "Come into my life Jesus ..."

FLYING FREE ...
Darkness looming in, hovering over the dark lonely space. Everything so still one could hear a pin drop. The more he thought about it, the more it caved in like some cloudy, foggy mist, penetrating, slowly sucking, choking engulfing everything in sight as he saw what was once a rain bow of colours turn to shades of grey and black. The more he tried to fight,kicking and screaming, flinching at the slightest twitch, the worse it was. He fought with carnal weapons but was only shadow boxing. He thought he was hardened but he really wasn't because if so, It wouldn't hurt so bad and this gentle ache inside after nothing would cease to be. Staggering backwards, away from the fog did nothing to sway the fact that his left leg has started to grey upwards until he was waist deep. In only a split second, he would be steps away from being the very thing that he avoided. Rivers of blackened tears wouldn't wash away this one....it was already too late.....now face deep....the darkness tapering itself to his skin, about to cover the last patch of coloured flesh left....his right eye.And then finally, ............He exhaled. He let it go.....he released, he breathed out an air that repelled and pushed back the darkness. He closed his eyes and something broke loose within. He exhaled again with a greater determination and the darkness ripped of his skin like a piece of tape stripped off a carton box. And then he exhaled some more, He blew and blew out that misty air mixed with salty sweat and body heat. He now stood ten feet tall, free to fly. The green in the trees returned, blues in the ocean painted back, the orange in the sunset restored as a work of art. He exhaled, he exhaled, he came to terms with this existence, he recognized what he had been thru and what needed to be done. He realized that Jesus "DID" overlook the crucifiction so there would a greater element being the RESURRECTION thus he could do the same. He shook off judgement, he made peace with this complexity, He found the infamous Love Chapter in 1 CORINTHIANS 13 .....and HE ...........FORGAVE...All thru life, He searched for affection, appreciation and acceptance, for friends that inspired and prosperity. He searched for real love and family, for reassurance and assertion somewhere in this angry mix but even much more, he learned to adopt the things that make life worth living, he learnt what true love, respect and appreciation is. He learnt that until he loved inspite, there would be no freedom. He learnt that smiles count, consideration even more, empathy the most, that the hardest and most incovenient things to do are those that really make a difference, he learnt how to fly free. He learnt forgiveness...It's all about letting the very things that hold you captive inside loose....it's about true love. Someone said, "Forgiveness is not a gift you give someone else but a gift you give yourself."

GET A FIRM GRIP..... His word is true, His faithfulness a reality!
Chiselling into the rocks to go up wasn't easy. Click, chisel, leg in foot hole here, upper body hauled up to get fingers in a hand grip there as Jenny sweating and panting found a way to overcome her first climb up the rocky mountain. Then, a boulder above shook.... uh-oh ..... the very boulder that held her support. The surrounding rocks began to give way giving a crackling sound as they fell to infinity, the long way down. Even worse, the ropes began to rip as the rocks hit against the latches, grinding the grips that fastened her in place. One last foot up to go and she'd be able to reach the tip of the mountain and grip it strong enough to pull her body over. Any moment from now, the rope was about to snap. With heaving lungs and an outstretched left arm, she etched up one more time and gripped the small rock with her left hand. The entire heavy boulder let loose, rolling over the cliff missing her by only an inch ...
God is so faithful. To me, He's been everything....yup, even when we mess up and get up again, He is still faithful. You know like.... He always stand by His word and if you trust Him and get a firm grip. He will never let you fall. But you know, it's beyond the trust we are used to as humans. You have to trust him with your spirit and die to flesh. You have to trust without an iota of doubt, you have to trust without thinking of Plan B incase He does not come through....thinking of Plan B means you don't think the Lion of the Tribe of Judah is mighty enough. Listen, He is great enough to redeem you and preserve everything that is connected to you. You have to get a firm grip on Him, get a firm grip on His word.
Someone descibed it as "dying to all flesh" meaning you have to let all your physical emotions and mental reasoning die and let God's Word take the overall precedence and control over the situation. you have to zoom in on His word for that specific time so much so that the scripture is all you can think about. The scriptures that say, He will never forsake you, the scriptures that say He has caused all grace to abound towards you, the scriptures that say all things work together for your good and your path is directed towards sweatless success!
At this point, you become one with the personal revelation from the Word of God you have received and nothing else matters. You just know you will NEVER go down in life! Greater is He that lives in you....and indeed, this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith !!! Believe His word! He did it again and again and will do it for you! He is the King of Kings, The Alpha and Omega, He foreknew the ending from the beginning, He raised Jesus from the dead and gave us the Holy Spirit who is ever around to help and counsel us!

CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD
(Originally written for the female audience but males can apply where necessary. This scenario is fictional. If it in anyways resembles you please note the MYA character is fictitious. In any case, be blessed)
MYA: Where are you God?
GOD: I never left, right by your side.
MYA: C’mon, let’s get practical a tad. You knoweth all things. You know how I feel right now. (Getting a bit restless) I need more of your wisdom to get through this. If you’ve never left, why did this come up? Why did I make the mistakes I made? Why can’t I have a regular life? Aaaarrggghh!! ( Vigorously throwing punches at an imaginary person)
GOD: Well, true…. I know how you feel and that’s because I love you enough to know. I needed you to tell me so I could connect with your specific need and reach out to you.
Wisdom? My love ….wisdom have I given thee. Where is your bible and Rhapsody devotional; did you read it yesterday? It’s all you need. Meditate and be one with it. Then pray and take actions of faith based on what I have told you.
The issue is not that it popped up but how to overcome it and prevent it next time. Greater is He that is in you. Lastly, mistakes?? I warned you though. I was there in signs, the words/counsel of others of faith, My Word and of course “YOUR COMMON SENSE.” It ain’t rocket science you know. It was very obvious I cared, I still do; and you know I do. Just know this – that all things worketh for your good no matter what. I have forgiven the ignorance of the past, move forward and beware....next time might be very costly.
MYA: (Rolls eyes in confusion ........*silence* .........deep thought) You did not tell me that Joe was not my future man. I gave him my heart and placed all in him only to be devastated. It was my fault in a way for being vulnerable but then, do I then keep chasing all the guys that come my way simply because they are not exactly what I want. But then, the ones I want are the ones that are not approved by you over time. I just feel Your eyes of truth blazing on me after I start getting in love mode….(sigh!) After some hard headedness, I realize though and them I’m like….How could you have thought ????? I wished you just appeared to me in a vision and spoke clearly on things like this….. ( hands over face, mind still boggled. Bittersweet emotions of anger and guilt)
GOD: How will that help your faith to grow? Should you then depend on the “spectacular” and forget the other ways I speak to you everyday and nudge you in the right direction? You of all people know if I have not given you the go-ahead, then you need to relax and zero in on your spiritual life/ future/ career. If My work is done sooner than expected, you will know. YOU NEED TO BECOME A MATURE CHRISTIAN AND ALL FLESH MUST DIE. You are still allowing your emotions/feelings to meddle. Why do you suddenly need Me to appear and speak up the moment you start feeling butterflies for Joe Bloke ???? You have to wait on the I AM that I AM. Hmmm, my beloved? Dost thou hear me? Don't allow emotions cloud your Inner Witness - the Holy Ghost inside of you which revealeth all things and spiritual truths.
MYA: LOLLLLL, Lord !!! Such Harsh correction but I know its out of love. Day by Day, you reveal yourself to me and your will for my Life. I am determined to walk the path You have set before me. (speaking in tongues for some moments.....kalibrondakashe halimakaya .....hands outstreched towards ceiling....soaking in God's presence as His comfort soothes and comforts) ......My feet will follow your footsteps henceforth! kundakanze malekionza. Okay, so how am I meant to know who to marry with these Christian guys approaching me if you just won’t spell it out. So I can keep chasing them away right?
GOD: Well, yes .......... and no. Emotions, emotions…. Check deep within you, you know the vision I have given you concerning your companion….and so? (Insert whatever vision God has given you concerning your future here)
Was it God given or not?
(If it was not God inspired or inspired by the likes of $$$$, Bradd Pitt and Halle Berry, then replace it with a God inspired one first.)
– even My Spirit inside you bears witness this? (Mya nods in approval)You have not seen it come to fruition yet? ….it is not yet time it means. PATIENCE. You see, compare a relationship as Christ and the church whom He shed his blood for out of love.... the deepest and highest expression of love that ever existed. A love that is complete with all the material/financial enablement it needs to keep it going such that it has a vision to accomplish....a future to look forward to & remain steady even through any bumpy roads ahead. THAT is love ….. very rare but if you wait on me, it is yours! Surely, I have worked on you and trained you enough to know that …. In other words, the man must be as Christ is and must be able to minister to you as Christ ministered to the church spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically and all that the God-way. My love, I have put a high standard for you, even your own wants/needs can’t beat that. Walk in My Word. I have forgiven the ignorance of the past but now, DON’T COMPROMISE THE WORD OF GOD and Don’t ignore information/books that guide Godly relationships. It's a training for you as well to build yourself for such a time. And at that time, everything will favour you both and fall in place!
MYA: Ok, Ok ….but see now….Mr. Seth has been on my case for 8 months. Is he the One?
GOD: You have the mind of Christ ….what has it spoken?
MYA: (To be continued. Stay tuned)

The Real Beauty of a Woman
Is not in the way she wears her hair or the bling that’s in her care
It’s not in the hourglass figure whatsoever, not ever
It’s not in the lipgloss that’s popping or the cheddar she be stacking
It’s not dressing to impress with the six inch heels that turn her into an empress
Neither does a Dolce, Versace and Gucci label make her capable
Don’t get me wrong, those things are good, a woman should but not forgetting wats true
And no, I aint tryna be rude
Beauty is virtue and an issue that runs deeper than the surface for beauty within flows outwards indeed
It is skin deep, beneath her flesh
It’s what makes her who she is n shapes her personality
Think before you blink, you might see this only once
What is “your” beauty ?...............................................

1 JOHN 5:4
PROVERBS 11:8
"The righteous man is rescued from trouble ..."
1 JOHN 5:4
"Everything that proceeds from God overcomes the world ....... it overcomes the world"
JOSHUA 1:9
"This is my command - be strong and very courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you whereever you go"
"This is my command - be strong and very courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you whereever you go"
Everyone would like to be the rabbit that shred the fox to pieces ...
If the righteous man is saved from trouble, question is are you righteous? Do you proceed from God? Come on now, ask yourself.
If you are in Christ, do you know that you are born of God and are his righteousness ? Romans 4:25 says that Jesus was delivered for our justification. If that is so, I mean, the bible said it and the bible is the word of God.... then you are justified!
1 John 1:9 - He came to cleanse you from unrighteousness! meaning if you are in Christ, you are the righteaoussness of God, the proof of his equity! The ability to stand before Him with boldness!
And 1 John 5:4 tells us that everything that proceeds from God overcomes the world and we know that we are born of God for the world did not give us the life that we have. If we can know this, we know that a christian is not weak, a christian does not seek God because he needs something, A Christian is someone who is Christ-like .....who has a power the world cannot give. One who has received life and the enablement, sufficiency and ability of the Spirit of God. So why do you be-little yourself so ???
Halleluyah!!!! YOU, yes you have overcome the world and all its circumstances thereof but you have to know the Word of God and what it says about you. It has so much for you. Locate yourself in the word of God today. It's going to take a concious effort, it may seems like work but do it with gladness for there is a bigger picture....a greater glory....
Greater is He that is in me than he who is in the world!! I can do all things because i know who I am. I have located myself and my purpose in God's word. Much more, i have a personal revelation that has become real to me and it puts the springs in my steps, propelling me through the times i need it the most.
Has it become real to you? Learn to locate yourself in the Word through the knowledge of it ... Those who have located themselves will overcome when the tests of life come... God wants you to be solid and unmovable with joy and fulfillment to the overflow but you are a free moral agent and you have a part to play in your destiny. Whatever it is, you can do it, you can handle it, things will always work out for you no matter the line-up of events. The more you focus on the word of God and take your mind off the situation, the more you are being empowered with might, daily moulded into what it takes to spin things around in half a second, the more your seeming troubles diminish. Make up your mind to overcome come what may!
