Flesh works...Spirit Bears

It is a great day...this thirteenth day in the eleventh month in the year 2010. So blessed to be here. Closing out a week examining the topic of seed time and harvest. Guess what my friends, we are always bearing fruit. It is the end result of what we have sown, what has been sown into us and how we cultivate what we have. The Bible reminds us that we know the Tree (person) by the Fruit it Bears. We identify what is inside of a person by what comes out of them. A person is defiled by what comes out of him. In Galations 5:19 Paul helps us to recognize that the flesh works but the spirit bears. When trying to do the things of God, the result, what we bear is the FRUIT of the spirit. This is Love, joy, peace, etc. When a person is in the flesh...he cannot produce the Fruit of the spirit. He has to work in a manner that is superficial. Not real, not easy, because the flesh and the spirit are contrary one to the other. The flesh works and manifest such things as spoken of by Paul, adultery, fornication, uncleaness, laciviousness and the like. We could not bear the proper fruit operating in the flesh. In fact, we could not bear fruit at all in the flesh. The Flesh works, in deceit, dishonor, guilt, etc...but the spirit bears peace, longsuffering, goodness faith. What a concept!!! For so many years, I myself just accepted that the flesh produced fruit. But, as confirmation to our past lessons, it is the spirit, the heart of man that God conditions to bear fruit. What a revelation!! The flesh works everything that is in direct conflict with the spirit. The only way the Spirit Bears the fruit is by killing the flesh. The Flesh must die, just like we amputate a limb that is no longer functioning, the flesh must die to keep from destroying the whole body...If we are in christ and expecting to bear fruit, we must take the initiative, to examine ourselves and crucify the flesh. Stop it from working and destroying the harvest. My friend, the Flesh Works...the Spirit Bears resulting in destruction or righteous fruit....what are you going to do; Destroy the Flesh or Save the Soul.

2017 - Epiphany & Authenticity

Part- 1, Page 6, Chapter 2017 - Embracing M.E. (My Eve-Olution)!  We have a brand new scene in 2017. Navigating through the various landscapes, habitations, atmospheric pressures have all revealed for me a clear view of my authentic self.  Looking in the mirror and actually seeing, speaking my truth and actually hearing it, in the most raw form and not offering apologies for that truth.  Arriving at this place required me to leave skin, blood and sweat as a sacrifice on the altar that resulted in a life altered, scene changed, re-arranged and now sustained. Today, there is gratitude, on this day, when the world recognizes and acknowledges the manifestation of my soul's lover, I too appreciate my own epiphany, when I discovered the incredible power within, I chose and will continue to choose, from this day forth to use it to the fullest.  I am now living in that free place, liberated and substantiated,  making every decision and reflecting on every area of this ...

Hello Love...

Page 8, Part 2, Chapter 2016 embracing M.E. (My Eve-Olution).  Sitting here reflecting on you.  In awe and appreciation of your power in every area of life.  Recognizing that you have enabled me, (in a good way) with a level of strength beyond my human ability.  Because of you, I am confident that all things will work out for my good.  You have guided and provided, opened and closed, lifted and brought down, wounded and healed, mortified and made alive.  You are amazing.  I just wanted to acknowledge you once again as the source of my strength and the strength of my life.  No one else gets the credit for who I am, no one else would tolerate me, with my flaws and short-comings like you have or like you can, no one else is worthy of all of me except you who has given me all of you.  So, I say with all the passion and tenacity that you have instilled in me hello Love, hello!  Thank you for the of the most abundant life!

Looking back over Turned pages....

As I turn to page 25, chapter 2012, I have taken a moment, just a moment to turn back and review some of the previous chapters.  I look back and am reminded of the miracles I have experienced.  I am reminded of the miracle that I am.  As I look back, just a few chapters, I see an amazing story of a woman kept, a soul saved, a heart committed to the lover there of.  As I look back, I see that on several occasions, I did not understand what was going on at the time of the actual writing, but now, I can see that everything is working together for good.  I read over places where the challenges seemed overwhelming and changes did not make sense, but as I read further, I saw the benefit of each and every trial.  I look back and review the pages of this book, the author is brilliant, the pieces did not seem to fit, but He brought them all together.  Just like a puzzle, I can now see every piece fitly joined together.  I did not notice then...
