SPEAK TO YOUR STORM! #PraythePandemicAway

-


Tell my children, that during this unprecedented time this is not a time to be outside the will of God, this is not the time to be an unbeliever, this is not a time to be skipping out on sitting at my feet. This is the time to pray without ceasing, simply seeking my face like never before. This is a time for Christians to be a dominant integral part of society (For such a time as this). During this time of being impacted by the global pandemic, The Church needs to arise and GO FORTH. This is the time to be distracted. This plague will not harm the righteous!

During hard times, its easier to play it safe. It is safer to worry, to fret, to be anxious when we are living in this world and constantly consumed by what we see. God, is telling his people. "During this time, cling to me!' I am a good father and see your pain. I can feel and hear all that you are going through. In my prayer time on March 21st, 2020 God shared this verse with my heart. The book of Revelations is powerful and intimidating. However, it is very real and rich in conveying the truth of God and the end times. Revelation 21:3 states "And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold the tabernacle of God is with men and he shall dwell with them and they shall be his people and God himself shall be with them."

The most important verse 4 reads "And God shall wipe away all the tears from their EYES; there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain in the former things are passed away. This verse is critical because, amid a global pandemic, where mass hysteria and fear is being pushed by the media, we forget how BIG our God is. Our father Daddy God, is not only a healer but a comforter. We won't hurt always! God will comfort us amid pain, fear, anxiety, and uncertainty. Don't take the bait of the masses or the enemy! Instead of clinging to negative emotions, why don't we focus on positive emotions such as joy, peace, love, and kindness? We don't have to react like the world. This is why we must submit to the Holy Spirit and kill out FLESH daily! The bible tells us "So I say, walk by the spirit and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." (Galatians 5:16).

Our focus has been misplaced. We no longer have placed our desires and focus on God. We don't desire to commune with him or check with him before we act. We do the opposite. We act and then check in with God. Our attention and hope are placed in our income, career, job, relationship. Whatever that can catch our attention at that time. We have become selfish people, living in an individualistic self-serving society. We do not extend kindness to others or take the time to go out our own way!



Fear is a tactic enemy and brothers and sisters! I am telling you that you won't have to lose your mind because the world is! Fear is not of God. 2 Timothy 1:7 states "For God hath not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and love, and a sound mind." So if God hath given us it is a tactic used by the enemy. It is a natural response but it is a painful and demonic spirit. This is a common verse but how many of us take the time to apply it? It challenged myself to commit thirty days to say this when you first wake up. For me, it is during my morning devotional.


Let's backtrack to the beginning scripture of Revelation. Revelation 21:8 talks about the power of fear and the individuals who will not convene with the father but will be cast into the lake of fire! Verse 8 states "But the fearful and unbelieving and abominable, murderers, whoremongers, sorcerers, adulters, all liars shall have their part in the lake of fire. Which burneth fire and brimstone, which is the second death." (Rev 21:8 KJV). You cannot be full of fear and become the person God called you to be. Hear me, you cannot operate in fear and faith. The two WILL NEVER go hand in hand!

Prayer for COVID-19:  Father God, I come to you humbly as I know how to. God, your children need you in this time of a global pandemic. We are in a time of fear, anxiety, uncertainty and we need you to heal our world. We are fretful. We are desperate. Help us not to miss you in this time, but understand its bigger than us!We are asking you to take it away from us God. We are praying for everyone whom it has affected. Please cure and allow those affected to make a grand recovery. Lord, we cannot do this without you. We cannot move without you. You are mighty, sovereign, and King of Kings. Almighty God, Our country needs you...Our world needs you. In Jesus Name Amen.

Prayer for :
  • Homeless
  • Sick
  • Those harmed and unarmed by the virus
  • Domestic violence survivors
  • Children
  • Families
  • Unbelievers
  • Our world
  • Goverment
  • OUR President

Execution is Key: The Time is NOW!

How many of us have sat on goals and dreams and pushed them down to the farthest part of our mind? God has told us to execute that book, that podcast, launch that blog and business but we have laid dormant in God's plans. We have forgotten our gifts, talents, and the promises of the glory placed on your life! Did you know that you haven't even fully tapped into the your purpose inside of the kingdom. You haven tapped into your destiny! Last weekend, I attended a vision board party and it was incredible!! It was a shared space of believers and we took the time to chat, bond, and write our vision down for the year. We cut out pictures of magazines and I completed mine in one night! it was refreshing. In the beginning of this year God spoke to me two words 'Magnificent shift" God told me he had the ability to shift everything in my life: my finances, my academics, my mindset, and behaviors. In Isaiah it differniates our thoughts and Gods thoughts stating ...

Faith vs. Fear: Trusting God Through The Storm

There is a difference between the two. Faith is trusting GOD during a battle where FEAR keeps you from accomplishing, believing, dreaming, achieving. In 2018, I lived in fear. To be quite honest, in 2016 is where the seed of fear was planted in my heart. I don’t know when, where, or how. I just know it was. In retrospect, 2016 was a difficult year for me. It was my second semester in college and I lost my father in May. I couldn’t believe it. I was so broken, and I questioned how God could do this to me again. And I say again because I lost my father in 2001 at the age of five. I say all thing to say… Do not let fear keep you BOUND. 2016 and 2017 was years that I doubted myself and worried about everything. In 2019, I spent New Year’s Day bringing it in at my church. The youth revival was on Fire and remember the Lord telling me to get up and RUN! Running represent freedom and it requires action and that was my first step in 2019 that I would take. I ran away fear, dou...

The Tale Between Two Cities

**Disclaimer** This is a personal blog and it is not meant to defame UWM or deter any student from going there. This is simply my experience and has shaped my outlook on city of Milwaukee. I have back at home since March 13th, 2020. And coming back home for me was a mental whirlwind. Home for me is sacred and peaceful. I was raised in this house and it represents a safety net. I know everyone and it is my safe place. However, when I went away from school almost two years ago, I merged into a new reality that stripped me from the "home" I knew. I completed my undergrad at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Milwaukee represents a city of lack and uncomfortableness. It is the top segregated city in America and socio-economic disparity in the black community is evident. During that dreadful season, I experienced loneliness, racism, and microaggressions like never before. When I first arrived, I look back and I represented such courage, strength and...
