Release and Let God!

My peoplesssssssss...sorry as usual I went AWOL... a lot has been happening around me... I mean A LOT!! will write about that when I have more than 15 minutes to type. Y'all seem to be doing well (at least based on my tour around my favorite blogs).

Today I have a number of topics I'll like to touch on but due to the limited time I have, I decided to share an experience I had this weekend.

Every situation you face in life, affords you a chance to learn something new... when God allows a situation in your life, if you take the time to go through that situation and understand the lesson, you'll become a better person. Often at times I hear people say every situation is a chance to learn something and as many times as I hear people say this, I tell myself "they must be out of their minds!". Oh well, last week I got a new revelation.

So for a number of years, my work with God has been a struggle. A struggle in the sense that as much as I desire to please Him, I always seem to have a problem or two within the setting I choose to use as a medium to worship Him. For a few months now I decided to cut certain people out of my life....I mean OUT! Ever since I have known these people, its been one drama or another.... one story or another...one gossip or another... at a certain point I felt like leaving my church to worship elsewhere....each time I got the urging to do this, I'll speak with my pastor and each time I was given the same advice "running away wont solve anything...God has a work to do in you and in order for Him to do His work in you, you have to experience and come through certain things".... For the longest time, this made no sense to me until last week!
Last week I got fed up with certain gists I had been hearing about myself... I mean everywhere I go, people feel the need to link me with one babe or another...one episode or a chapter...it's funny cause they never seem to link me with the ones I truly like! at least that would make for better gist! Anyway we had an airing out session and it was amazing sitting back and listening to how people interprete my actions. Prior to this session, I could have sworn I was innocent but after listening, I realized how my actions most times put me in the situations I find myself. A friend of mine once said "dude you thrive on drama!" ...at the time it made no sense but after this airing session, it became clear... I thrive on drama because I allow and entertain certain things and people that bring drama. Anyway, after listening to them speak and finally explaining my position, we all made up...Immediately, I felt a release! that release manifested itself on Friday and on Sunday while worshipping...for the first time in a long while, I was able to worship God and I felt his anointing upon me...Oh how I missed it!

My message to you guys today is... people will offend you... how you choose to deal with it will determine whether you are alive or dead (spiritually). Release those that hurt you and let God handle the situation...trust me...the peace you feel will pass all understanding. When you release a person, it doesnt mean you two have to be buddies again... it just means you can afford to genuinely be civil towards the person knowing that He who is in you is greater than he that is in the world and that your blessing shall not be cut off due to someone sooo irrelevant.

Double portion & a vent!

The bible says "touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm". We are His anointed ... Every false word that the world speaks into your life will be rejected by God on your behalf... those that speak it will eventually be put to shame and with your eyes, you will see the Glory of God and the works of His hand and the manifestation of His word.

A few months back a "friend" of mine gave me some gist about some garbage some dude in my school had said about me... as much as it hurt, I made a promise to this "friend" that I wont confront the dude about the matter. What hurts is the fact that this dude is someone I have heard sooo much about and based on the things I heard, I decided to avoid him completely when he started in my school...despite all my attempts this dude still decides to peddle stories about me.
Dude accused me of "stalking" a babe ... for the longest, I couldn't figure out who the babe in question was...but this weekend, I finally did.... As I walked downstairs to meet my boys, dude walked in with the babe in question... apparently dude has been seeing the babe despite the fact that he has a girlfriend out of town... oh I could see the shock in his face...a part of me has been tempted to send his babe an email, letting her know that ol'dude is a creeper but another part of me goes " you've been vindicated...let go...let his shame follow him". Dude accused me of stalking a babe that has practically slept with a great number of minorities in my school...a babe that is so shameless, a babe that asked to be introduced to me.. a babe that came over to my place and tried to seduce me "NAKED!!!!"... Dude I stand tall and proud... I did not fall and in her face she can't deny it...there are emails to prove it... at some point when I heard the crap he said, I felt like coming against him with Psalm 140 but decided against it... Alas! the truth has been revealed! Dude its official you are a creeper of the worst kind... a cankerworm of the worst order...shameless! Before graduation, I promise to have a word with you...if not for anything else but just to let you know that I knew your evil all the while and while I seemed helpless, my God wasn't sleeping! You tried to mess up what could have been a good thing... it's sad that anyone could pay you any attention but like they say "birds of the same feather flock together!" talk about insecurities!

On second thoughts
Dude...you know what? since I am currently experiencing this peace from releasing folks, I am sending you an email to arrange a meeting...it's time I gave you what it is you deserve and have longed for. Hope you are ready... I plan on serving it HOT!
