One of my favorite songs from the 90's is "Little Heaven" by Toad The Wet Sprocket. This song is all about having a bit of "heaven" here on earth. It can come in the form of true love (and I am sharing a live performance of this song that a couple is dancing to at their wedding), it can come in the form of being blessed with children, it can come in the form of good friendships, family members you bond with. It can even come in the form of spending time with just you, and enjoying your favorite things, or the simple things in life. When you've been Blessed by God it feels like heaven. Cherish Every moment. Take it all in. ❤ When we spend time with God, it feels just like that too. It's Pure happiness. Joy.
To me, this song is also about people who have been Waiting on a Special Blessing, on their Promise from God. They have been pressing through, doing their Best, giving their all, being Consistent, doing God's Will. The Faithful Ones. ❤ It's not easy, sometimes you get weary, but you have to pick yourself up! Forward march! 🙂 A lyric from "Little Heaven" says "Ride these waves of doubt.. Bitter in your mouth.. ..You will exhale cinnamon clouds". You are Going to reach your Goal, your God Dream IS going to Come True, your Promise IS Coming! Keep being Faithful, Keep Going.. Change is Coming!! Don't doubt God. He is Able to Do Great Things. He knows How to make things Right for you, and He has Perfect timing. Keep on Going! You WILL make it to your Promised land! 🙂 It's YOURS! Stay Connected to God, YOUR TIME Is Coming! ❤ Enjoy this live version of "Little Heaven" performed by Glen Phillips from Toad The Wet Sprocket, Happiness & Joy to you! : www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsVpqkTGdVQ&list=PL8Gk5ERgNmBuJAGYIq9Ghs4-qyDAjllIw&index=30

There is a saying "When you know better, you do better". Another saying is "Good, better, best.. Never let it rest.. Until your good becomes your better, and your better becomes your best!" We should always want to Be Better than before. We should always want Holiness, Righteousness. When we decide to live for Christ, we are New Creatures. We are Set Apart. We are A Royal Priesthood & A Chosen Generation. And.. if we catch a brother or sister in fault, and come to them in love, and they repent, then we have won them back. And we are accountable to ourselves to do good. The choices we make. "16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.." Romans 14:16-19
We all will be accountable while we are here, and after we come before the judgment for what we did while here.. 2 Corinthians 5:10, For reward or punishment. We need God to also show us, as the scripture that says we are beaten with many or little stripes.. Luke 12:47-48. Blood not being required at your hand, Ezekiel 3:18-21. Finally as teammates or owners, as workers on our jobs spiritually and naturally, artists, and very much as a parent or child raiser.. Proverbs 22:6 teach the right way to do. And as a spouse or friend. Take a listen to "Higher" by Mali Music, which talks about coming up Higher in the Lord. You have to Grow in God! You have to Do Better and Be Better.. and when you Know Better you Do Better. Like the scripture "Eyes have not seen.." which is also mentioned in the song, there is sooooo Much that God has in store for you!! He wants your wingspan to grow, He wants you to Be Who He called you to Be! Blessings, Enjoy this song! : www.youtube.com/watch?v=03a_J0TrSh4 Happy New Year! It's a New Dawn & a New Day in this New Year! "Fruitful X Multiply" This is a Theme I will be using this year on posts. And with palm trees. Palm trees produce various types of good fruit. Be like the palm tree. When we make God our Focus, when we make pleasing Him our Focus, when we make walking out what He put in us to do our Focus.. We WILL see ourselves FLOURISH & those around us WILL Be Affected by it!! Remembering Matthew 28:19 which says "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.." Get in Your position, walk it out.. Spread His Love, Spread His Word! It's Your Time & Your Season to Begin to live out the Life God has Called You to! Remember that You ARE an Eligible Receiver.. Take that Ball & Run with it for a Touchdown!! You Got This!! Keep on Moving.. Forward. Movement.. I am reminded of the song from growing up by Soul II Soul called "Keep On Movin". The lyrics are so Fitting for this theme. "Keep on Moving.. Don't stop ..Like the hands of Time! It's our time, time today The right time is here to stay!" There is more to it, and here is the link to listen to this ear pleasing throwback jam: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEHqOfKeabc#action=share Remember that this is a Season when Miracles Happen! Let your Spirit be Filled with Joy & your Heart be Light! :-) Seek and Find. Knock and the DOOR Will be Opened. Trust God & Believe! Matthew 7:8 says "For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." And as a sister in Christ said "Stay Ready. God's blessings can come at any time, day or night." God is the God of Miracles! Not to mention this is a Season where we remember that the Word became Flesh. "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." (John 1:14) Jesus is the Reason for the Season ya'll!! Stop & Take a Look at Beautiful Things.. God is Awesome in All His Splendor!! Continue to Spread His Love, Peace, and Joy.. Merry Christmas!! :-) Hi Everyone! Here is some Instruction & Inspiration from Jalen Hurts before I do my holiday post *(look for it just before Christmas)*:
STAY READY In Season & Out of Season: "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine." 2 Timothy 4:2 "All year I've been waiting on my opportunity. Regardless of how it went, my opportunity came today ...and we found a way to get it done." - Jalen Hurts Speak Positivity & Stay Ready.. Your Turn to Show Up and Show Out Comes WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT!! 🔑🔥🔥🔥🔑🔥🔥🔥 Use your heart and not your eyes.
Hey everyone! This will be my last post for Kingdom until the holiday season this year, and the start of the new year. Be Blessed with Joy in your heart and spirit, Enjoy this song & post, Believe! When God gives you a Word you must hold on to it. No matter what things look like in the natural, use your heart. Trust in it. Believe. Even when it feels hard to. He never ever goes back on His Word. If He said it and you have confirmation for it, it's going to happen. In His timing. Just hold on! I was singing the old song by SWV "Use Your Heart" when the Holy Spirit led me to come up with this post. Take a listen to it on my youtube music with a message playlist @ www.youtube.com/watch?v=08orIat0UTQ&index=20&list=PL8Gk5ERgNmBuJAGYIq9Ghs4-qyDAjllIw So many people need encouragement, because a Word God gave them a while ago has not yet manifested. They need "helps" to remind them of the promise.. That if He said it, it's still coming. Some things may take a little longer than others because of one reason or another. Talk to God about it. Watch as well as pray. There is a last line sung by Coko before the song goes off I believe says: "so that they can see what exists in me for you". She is talking about love, as this song is about love, but that line reminds me of what it's all about.. God getting the glory. When your promise comes, He gets the glory! It will even cause people to come to Christ, because they want to know the God who gave you your breakthrough. So, use your heart! Hold on, it's coming! Relax, Trust, and Believe. 🏈🏈 #eligiblereceivers🏈🏈 #faith #trust Check out these two videos:
Come To Jesus" by Mindy Smith: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJvhoW4sRzY&list=PL8Gk5ERgNmBuJAGYIq9Ghs4-qyDAjllIw&index=28 Jesus Is Real" by The New Life Community Choir ft. John P. Kee: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fNbahkVRcU&index=27&list=PL8Gk5ERgNmBuJAGYIq9Ghs4-qyDAjllIw "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls." (Matthew 11:28-29) If you're going through anything, give it over to God. If you're worrying about anything give it over to God. If you have been crying, dry your tears! 🙂 Know that God sent His son Jesus that we might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). It's going to get better.. And then Even better! There will never ever be a thing you will need that won't be supplied, and your blessings will be in abundance. Remember 1 Peter 5:7 says "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." There is a song sung in the church I grew up in: "Cast your cares on Him, for He cares for you. The intangible He'll hold. The impossible He'll do. Let the mighty hand of Jesus carry you. Cast your cares on Him for He cares for you!". Know that Jesus is definitely Real. He lives! Call upon His name, and He will be there for you. There is safety in His arms, love, peace, protection, joy, salvation. What must you do to be saved? Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved! (Romans 10:9) 🙂 And He will hold you if you need to be held. He's a Keeper! ❤ #eligiblereceivers🏈🏈 #Jesus Best friend (Revelation 3:20) ft. Brandy - Best friend/ israel houghton & new breed - friend of god8/15/2018 A friend that sticks closer than a brother (Proverbs 18:24).. Jesus. I am a friend of God, and He is my friend. I want to say He is my Best Friend. Check out these two videos:
Best Friend" by Brandy: m.youtube.com/watch?v=PF9X8eWgh1U "Friend God" by Israel Houghton & New Breed: m.youtube.com/watch?v=Warah3cS2F4&t=0s&list=PL8Gk5ERgNmBuJAGYIq9Ghs4-qyDAjllIw&index=26 One thing is for sure, if ever you are lonely, or even feeling down He will be there. Loving you, leading you, ..even protecting you, keeping you. That's awesome! He gave us His only begotten son Jesus (John 3:16). He loves all of us! Jesus has so much compassion and is ready to listen to and hear you, keep you company, help you, and love on you. God also gave us the Holy Ghost as our Comforter (John 14:26). He will be there for you in time of need, and will lead and guide you into all truth. So, you see, you and I have the Complete package in God. You will never want for anything. Remember that Revelation 3:20 says "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." God wants to have a close relationship with you. More than just on Sunday morning. He wants you to hang with Him through the week.. Getting to know each other, and enjoying each other's company. He will make you laugh too.. He does that with me ;) He will also reveal to you things, things that were hidden concerning your purpose, your future. #eligiblereceivers🏈🏈 #BestFriend ❤️ Be Prepared! ft. the lion king (movie song) - Be prepared/ norman hutchins - God's got a blessing8/8/2018 Be prepared for anything and everything. There are two perspectives I will be talking about on this. Check out these two songs:
Be Prepared: m.youtube.com/watch?v=XkU23m6yX04&index=3&list=PL8Gk5ERgNmBss_nToC5BuZglqeYShSWL8&t=0s God's Got a Blessing: m.youtube.com/watch?v=3_LB1Qk4k8M&list=PL8Gk5ERgNmBuJAGYIq9Ghs4-qyDAjllIw&index=25&t=0s When the enemy moves, be prepared to move. Put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:13-18). Here is a story: I was just in a big store and all of a sudden the power shut off and there was a collective "Whaaat?" and "Oh my G..." from everyone in the store. There was chaos for a while, with people being told to stop shopping and come to the front of the store. Check out lines grew longer. People grew impatient. Workers were sent to the front of the store to stop people from coming in. One worker was outside at the entrance trying to tell people to turn back around, the store had no power. One worker. It was sudden that the power went off. They were not fully prepared to handle it. In this life, God wants us to be prepared. This means to be prepared for something good, and also to be prepared to stand against the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:11). Be prepared. The Holy Spirit brought back to my remembrance the song from The Lion King "Be Prepared". In it, Scar was singing with his minions for everyone to be prepared for the "murkiest scam" they had coming their way. Here is what we know: satan is already defeated! Keep him under your feet where he belongs! (Romans 16:20) I am sharing "Be Prepared" from The Lion King, and to represent Blessings I will share "God's Got a Blessing" by Norman Hutchins. Focus on these two words: Get Ready! In "God's Got a Blessing" by Norman Hutchins, he is saying to Get Ready for your Blessing, Get Ready for your miracle. It's coming, and often times when you least expect it. Prepare yourself for it.. Keep a smile, be your best you, looking nice, smelling good. Amen! #eligiblereceivers🏈🏈 #BePrepared Always remember to treat people with love and respect. You never know who they are. And sometimes you could be entertaining an angel. Make God proud of you. Be the best You you can be to people even if you are having a bad day.
"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." (Hebrews 13:2) Earlier today the Holy Spirit brought a song back to me. I started singing it, "Angel" by @SarahMcLachlan It is about a man that passed away from a heroin overdose. For anyone struggling with hurt, even addiction I pray that God remove it from you, that He touch and heal every broken place and restore joy unto you. ❤ Remember that God sends His angels to minister to those who hurt or need strength. For me, the song "Angel" says that if you are hurting you can run over to God, run to His arms and even cry if you need to. Never give up on yourself, or on life. Also, the Holy Spirit was sent as our comforter! :-) I want to share the song "Angel" and a song called "Comforter" by @cecewinans 💜: Angel: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i1GmxMTwUgs&index=23&list=PL8Gk5ERgNmBuJAGYIq9Ghs4-qyDAjllIw&t=0s Comforter: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aIEa-2PTTAs&list=PL8Gk5ERgNmBuJAGYIq9Ghs4-qyDAjllIw&index=23 |
