My Potent Perspective

Life holds so many elements of exchange. There is responsibility in everything, even if you decide to relinquish it. It is very important to find those moments in life to get quite, centered and grounded. So much goes on around us. There is an invisible fight that takes place every day in your inner man. To hold to my morals or not, that is the question. When things don’t work in your favor, do you stop? If people act unfairly towards you, do you stop? No, you keep going. However when life overwhelms you, take a moment and get centered. Remember your maker and your make-up. Assess the areas that need to be trimmed and what areas need to blossom. Work to improve others, while improving you. Make the proper adjustments and invest in the profitable. Be aware that you can’t do everything and you will never succeed doing nothing. Balance is golden. It makes everything level out. Emotions are a part of our human anatomy. You can’t ignore emotions but you can control them. Work on contro...

God resists the proud, yet gives Grace to the humble. (James 4:6) Pride depreciates the value of your gift. What ever you are graced to do will lose its effect in haughtiness. Never allow the lust of the flesh, lust of the eye or the pride of life to be your driving force. We are called to be servants of all. If pride drives you, you will only accomplish being a servant of self. Self Service equals Self Sabotage. Self sabotage is a slow, low boiling pot to destruction. It doesn't get you there fast, but it gets you there with certainty. Don't be deceived. Pride is selfish, pride is Arrogant, pride is self-seeking, pride is very dogmatic and pride kills. Whatever gift God has granted you, stay humble. God resists the proud and will allow you to work your gift with no grace. Grace is sufficiency to us. The dictionary defines suffiency as enough or adequate. Grace is all we need. Pride is succulent to the tongue but bitter to the stomach. It is a deadly additive with a savory ...

Challenge and conflict are sometimes the things most avoided in life. When you think about the word conflict it can come off taboo. The term makes you think of opposing forces coming together and crashing. Conflict is an uncomfortable place, but it is very necessary in life. Challenge can be just that, challenging. However once again this is a necessary key to life. Without conflict or challenge, change is non-existent. When two masses of land come together and collide it creates a mountain. Some monuments in your life will never be formed until you face certain challenges and embrace conflict. Now, there is a major difference between being a confrontational person and embracing conflict. If you are just confrontational by nature and can never agree on anything, just think of yourself as being an automobile. Have you ever been on the road with a reckless driver? You don't know where they're coming from or where they're going, and you can't dictate the intent of their ...

There's a storm out on life's ocean and its moving this way. If your souls not anchored in Jesus, you will surely drift away. There are a lot of changes happening swiftly in our government. So many things are occurring right under our noses economically, socially, spiritually, educationally. If you are not careful, you will be sucked right into believing a myth. Jesus is the answer, there is no other way. Be careful about what you let into your gates, because whatever is going down will take anything willing with it. Mark my words that our county is going down. Be rooted and anchored in something that stands strong. The only thing that stands any test in time is Jesus Christ and the Word of God. Stand sure on His word and you will be left standing!

I have been meditating on Genesis chapter one lately and while doing so, I started asking myself what is my reflection? "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the waters". I always questioned why didn't God hover over the face of the earth because that's where most of his creating took place. Then it dawned on me, you can never see your own reflection in dirt, you can only see it in water. Water is the purest element. It replenishes and washes away anything impure. God hovered over the face of the water to see His own reflection. Once He saw His own reflection and saw that it was the purest element, He created from the dust of the earth what He was. Hence, "man was created from the dust of the earth, in His image and in His likeness." We are a reflection of Him because He created us from his own reflection of purity. He cou...

I had this dream about 7 years ago now. In this dream I was at a carnival and the whole world was apart of this carnival, It was at night and I remember the whole world being in line to wait for the carnival to open. I was standing in the middle of the line with my husband (my friend at the time) and two of the leaders of my church at the time. I had this eerie feeling but I didn't want to damper everyone's excitement about the carnival. It had rides that looked like sky scrapers. We were all so excited but I couldn't shake this weird feeling. I was standing in line talking and laughing and the holy spirit put his hand over my mouth and told me to be quiet and watch. I stopped talking and started listening and watching everything around me. As I was watching everything started being magnified and it was so much going on. I looked up in the sky and saw this little demon on the moon with measuring tape. He was walking around the moon and laughing. I hollered as loud as I co...

There has been so much teaching around me about faith. I think it is such an important topic right now. Really its not even a topic, its apart of this walk. I heard a preacher say, if you don't have faith, you don't have salvation. How can you be saved without faith. My bishop has been teaching lately on faith. Laron and I went to Florida one weekend to sing and do some studio work. While we were working we started talking. (which I love) We started talking about faith and he had this crazy revelation from the Lord that changed my whole perspective on the word and topic faith. Hebrews 11: breaks faith down soooo clear. "Without faith it is impossible to please God". "Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen". Now us as christians always think faith has to do with everything outside of us. I need a new car, let me have faith and its mine. I want a new house, let me have faith and I can have it. But faith is the substanc...
