God knows.

So Michael Jackson died today, Farah Fawcett died also and Ed McMahon dies yesterday.

Wake up call.

God has given us life but what do we do with it?

We live it to how we see fit.

We live it to the extent of not reaching our full potential.

We spoil it and make it into something perverse.

We live this life for the vanity of materialistic means.

We live this life thinking we are invincible and cannot be touched.

But...we are human, finite beings that roam this earth and are made of this earth's sediments with God's breath in our lungs, God's inspires us with this knowledge built into our limbs which are our talents. God is the simple reason as to why we exist because of his love to see us strive for a greater potential and a crave for perfection. I'm not here to preach because Lord knows I'm in no position to, but I know this that God knows when your heart desires more than just fortune and fame. God knows the realistic desires of every heart that dwells on this earth...I just hope everyone realizes that what their desires are cannot be fulfilled by something finite...God is infinite. God is Good.

"I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength."- Phillipians 4:11-13.

Reach your full potential but do not forget where God has placed you.

Petition

My God, I thank you in abundance for the works of your hand. I thank you for the very breath that enters the lungs of each person daily. God i thank you for being Jehovah first and foremost. God i come to you because sadness crosses my flesh and my flesh is weak because my spirit desires your comfort and your words of understanding. My God I ask you to please bless Professor Johnson my God, give him healing of the soul first and foremost then my God provide the healing of the flesh. For you said in your word that we are dust and to dust we shall return. We are not worthy of life for you created us out of nothingness and breathed your life into us hence our existance. We are alive because you have given us life but with this life you've created us for one sole purpose to worship you within us, for we are your people and we are you temple and you thrive in us and manifest your glory through our natural talents and intelligence. My God I pray that you may work through each and every person that I love my God I pray that you may open their hearts and souls to newer things Lord God. Revive in us a clean heart and a new spirit. God restore the joy within us and the smiles that dwell upon these finite vessels called bodies. My God you are faithful and are worthy of the praise that leaves the buds of each tongue. For every knee shall bow and tongue will confess that you are LORD. Lord of all creation you are, for you make things exist by the thoughts that escape into our visual minds through dreams, melodies, any form of artistry. My God you are holy. Simply beautiful, wonderous in all your ways and i praise you because you are. Forgive us for our lack of forgiving others, supply us with wisdom and knowledge and strength to think through each step and decision we make. Let us reveal our plans to you in the secrecy of the temple we're the fire of the Holy Spirit dwells, within us. God It is in the name of Jesus where all things are made whole and all things ring true, Amen.

the projects
buildings built in crosses petitioning to God to look down below and spare the minds that will soon fall victim to the old ways of the old winos that fell victim to the snow that doesnt fall from the skies but shoots up their noses so that their eyes glisten as little children anticipating christmas days and thanksgiving nights
the ways of the old generation cripple the thoughts of the clean slated youth birthed out the womb and here we see them live the same ways as the parents who are in approximity to age as there own child running wild in the streets looking for love or the lack thereof with non applicable standards and means to where we seem to think we know oh so much
so we touch
we feel
we kiss and arousal begins and forms from the depths within
cardinal sin # 1
it only last for 30 seconds above the sun
no thoughts form until the process it complete
and the screams take place in the midst of heat
lets not wait till the water runs dry
an oasis
where we know 30 seconds can multiply like cells that divide into blastocysts and form the fetus to repeat the cycle of malnutrition or should i say maltreatment
the mind is a terrible thing to waste

If I traded it all.

What are you willing to give up that would cost you the most so that you could have infinite happiness? What are you willing to let go of that will cost you the most so that love would be infinitely given to you? We search the earth and the contents thereof for fulfillment yet nothing seems to fill us to the point where we can say we're complete. We think we know ourselves, but if we know ourselves why do we still search to know something more about ourselves? God knows our hearts and the void that has been put their by him for us to search for him...now i ask once again what are you willing to give up after the search is all said and done and you've come to your answer...are you willing to let go of all those credoes you once lived by? Are you willing to trade it all...

The parable of the rich man... Matthew 19: 16-30
16 Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?"
17"Why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments."
18"Which ones?" the man inquired.
Jesus replied, " 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony,
19honor your father and mother,'and 'love your neighbor as yourself."
20"All these I have kept," the young man said. "What do I still lack?"
21Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
22When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.
23Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
25When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, "Who then can be saved?"
26Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
27Peter answered him, "We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?"
28Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. 30But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.

.....this is trading it all....giving up yourself and all that you could become just to be sufficient by God's grace and everlasting mercy.

my heart was made to worship you Lord, my mind was formed to think in your likeness and show others the way through the words that proceed out of my mouth. but now i must give up something that i hold closer to me more than anything to be with out and to be truly and freely happy. This is trading it all...take it...my heart. take it. my mind. take it. my will for life. take it. my drive for living. take it. all things that are not for me. take it.

im trading it all.

God gave me a new reason to smile

God I appreciate everything you've done for me, You are the Alpha and Omega of every situation i've ever encountered through this life. God i appreciate you more than you can fathom right now. God I was mad and sad these past few days but you've opened my eyes to a greater venue of self. God you've opened my heart to forgiveness, you've opened my heart to love and love in abundance despite myself. God I thank you for challenging my heart and mind. I thank you for showing me other testimonies in which i am able to appreciate everything more...Lord I could have been in a far more worse situation but you guarded my steps and my heart and the thought processes from becoming entangled in a different and more complicated situation that i've experienced. Lord, God you are beautiful, you are wonderful, you are great and all i have is you and i'm glad i have you in my corner to lean upon. I'm glad that i have your hand to hold when i misplace my foot. Lord you are greatly to be praised for who you are. Greatly to be acknowledged within all the earth. God if i could take back all the things i did to hurt you, i would cover the earth with my tears and my breath would be faint from lamentations to your throne. You deserve my praise, only you deserve my heart and the contents thereof. God remove the inquities and infirmities that hold me back from really and truly opening the contents of my spirit to you. Lord make love to my spirit, consume my body with joy and gladness, let the strength of my legs pound the earth with your praises, let my arms flare like flowers that reach the heavens for scents of morning dew. Let my body be your instrument, mold me and shape me to your likeness, give me new understanding where i lack. Let my voice be heard as soft whispers of your being embodying the earth. God you've given me a new reason to smile. You given me my heart back, you've given me my life back...let me bare the new fruits thereof. God you love me...infinitely and unconditionally...those are the two things i've ever wanted and needed and i now understand why love never fails, love is sincere. It is eternal, it is not tangible but felt in the deepest parts of the void of self. Lord if there is anything i could repay you with? Lord you have everything, cherubims, seraphims praising you daily yet you seek my praise and you love me despite all that praise. Despite my faults you love me, Lord what did i do to deserve all this love? I am not worthy...You alone are worthy and you alone deserve my praise. God you grace is consistant and sufficient ...therefore i will boast all the more glady in my weaknesses because you are my God. Lord open up my heart, and the chambers thereof...If i have faith that can move mountains Lord but have not love...i am nothing. God bless and surround all whom i love. Cover them with your grace and blood, surround them with your seal of protection. Open the venues of their hearts and instill peace through their days. Renew the smiles in their hearts and faces. God it is you who fills this void of self. It is your peace that surpasses all understanding and i honor and reverence you. It's in your precious son who renews life in me daily, that sweet name, Jesus I pray this prayer. Amen.

Peace

Heart to Heart

God, forgive me for the wrong i've done. Forgive me for the iniquities and infirmities that hold me back from true worship. God there are tears that want to leave my eyes but God, Your grace is sufficient. Your grace is here to comfort and open my eyes to the greater vision you have ahead. Lord you said in your word you're a jealous God and that you will not have someone being put before you. God, I messed up. I messed up my life and my walk with you, i went my own way thinking that i'd get somewhere and here i am back to square one where there is no improvement and lack of self....Lord i'm not myself. Lord I haven't been myself in so long. God renew in me joy, wash my heart of hurt and pain. Wash my thoughts of pain, wash my feet from walking into further distractions. God guard my heart and thoughts i pray.

Its in Jesus Name, Amen.

poverty in bags

im carrying bags
bags that carry written documents on paper
black ink white bodies carrying the written book of judgement
names of the holy dwelling we receive called heaven thats is only if the righteous accept the plans of the father
Father forgive the bodies that dwell in the trees
weve been uprooted from your dominion of great things
cut down into the matter where we may store greatness by letting them reap from our mistakes
bring us to nothingness
let the spindles of our hair be the veins of newer knowledge
God grant us the look
the vision to see what we do not see
live how we ought to live
for poverty awaits with bags
and i carry them
as a willful punishment
locs of dust
tattered rags of the unknown
foot embalmed in titanium
skin ash white
sleep called them to thier fate.
