Ecclesiastes 9:11 says,  I saw under the sun that the race is not given to the swift nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise nor riches to men of understanding nor favor to men of ability but time and circumstance overtakes them ALL.  Wow, if I never knew what this scripture meant 20 years ago, I certainly know what it means now.  Overall, it means our strength ISN'T strength.  It it means that no matter how we sum ourselves up WITHOUT our Father's Love, Mercy and Grace we are ALL doomed. 
Everyone is trying to move forward in life to sum degree.  All are in the race of life, some are running somewhat solidly, some are stumbling and some have momentarily fell, but that doesn't mean we still can't win.  Always get up and keep moving towards our Father no matter what.  Although, we lose rhythm sometimes and even break stride, keep pushing (acknowledging the Father)  keep believing that he sees not just our faults but he sees our  sincere effort as well.  This race of life is never about perfection but more so about the effort you are putting forth to be better  and draw closer to our Father.  Remember this, there's not a person living in this world anywhere that's running this race perfectly.  And don't let nobody tell you otherwise!  So, don't worry about people but keep your eyes on our Father  because worrying about people is often what will keep us bound and slow us down.

Matthew 19:26 says, with men (in our strength) many things are impossible, but with our Father ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.  If you believe you have a RELATIONSHIP with our Father then know this, there's NOTHING that's too large nor too personal that ours Father's LOVE and GRACE won't intervene in on our behalf.  I have a book (Miracles and Mayhem) full of endless miracles of my life in Chicago where our Father truly and divinely intervened. I'm talking from the smallest situations in my life to some all out MIRACLES.  The problem today is our society has been conditioned to believe that most things are only achievable by way of our strength, our might or even our job or education, TOTALLY excluding our Father the process or our progress and this is why we can only achieve what WE labor for.  This episode however will prove to you that in many case if we would just get out the way and pray, in this case (be still for a moment and listen!) we would find out that the impossible IS POSSIBLE!

Message to the wounded Souls, "Proverbs 4:23 Says ABOVE ALL THINGS GUARD YOUR HEART for from it springs forth the seed of YOUR LIFE!  In other words, protect yourself, your heart, your soul, your peace, your spirituality because what you eat or rather INTAKE through your eyes, ears or encounters shall be the bricks by which your life shall be built.  Whatever you choose to ACCEPT in your life, you must eventually SEE in your life.  You accept chaos and your life will become chaotic.  You accept LOVE in your life and what shall spring forth is love and happiness.  For our Souls/Hearts are like a garden, whatsoever we allow to continuously be impressed upon it will grow and become part of us.  It is your spiritual right to protect yourself.  For by way of your Soul/Heart do we communicate with our Father.  Therefore when we allow our Soulful self to be AFFECTED/INFECTED by others people's mental and spiritual IMBALANCE then we allow static to come between us and our Father.  Many of us are what we are because we didn't know to protect ourselves spiritually. 











Intro By Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes

Psalms 34:1 says "I will bless the Lord at ALL TIMES, his praises will continuously be in my mouth!"   Numerous time throughout my journey I've come across this scripture and honestly have thought to myself, "No way is it possible to praise the Father at ALL TIMES.?"  To me this was no more than just a religious quote.  However, after a long long journey and much spiritual growth, I can say to you that yes, with your eyes closed it is impossible to be thankful to our Father at all the times.  But, if you can just stop for a moment and open your eyes and THINK of all that our Father has bought you through and some of us truly have a testimony, then that alone would be enough to get the Praise ball rolling.  Equally, if you just look around at what so so many other people are going through right now  throughout the world or in many cases right within our own circles, we surely have reasons to be thankful and grateful.  Finally, if you truly understand FAITH (the ability to SEE what you expect beforehand and BE THANKFUL), then you'll understand why this sincere gesture towards our Father is important!  Like I said, your attitude of thankfulness IS one of the keys to being BLESSED!

Proverbs 18:21 says, "Life and Death are in the power of the tongue.  They that love it (love  repeatedly speaking certain things), shall EAT the FRUIT thereof.  Wow, so this scripture is literally saying we have the power to build or to tear down our lives by the things we say.  In other words, our spoken words when motivated by our heart's energy/faith will produce what we desire be it good or bad.  Like planting a seed in the soil and consistently watering it, in due season the harvest will appear.  So remember as the old saying goes, "Say (only) what  you mean and mean (through faith) what you say", because your WORDS have power!

Matthew 7:1-5 "Judge not that ye be not judged."   For with the same judgement you put upon others, shall it be put upon you.  By the weight of your judgement on others will be the measurement by which our Father judges you."   Funny enough it actually goes on to say, "How are you going to point out the speck in your fellowman's eye, but don't consider the plank (large board) in your own.  Often times the people who point out other people's faults or deficiencies many times are guilty of some those very same things.  Sometimes you want to say to judgmental people, "Have you looked in the mirror lately??"  Thankfully our mirrors can't talk because they would tell all of us a thing or two.   None of us have any room to judge because if not for our Father's grace, mercy and forgiveness we would be doomed because many of us would have been taken off this earth a long time ago for the things that only He knows.  Trust me, we are all blessed!

In the book of John 9:4-5 The Messiah said, "I must do the work of my Father who sent me for night comes when NO MAN can work!"  People have no idea what this really means.  He was saying he had to do all he could do while opportunity permitted because he knew his persecution (dark moment of trial) was coming.  The same thing in our lives, if we knew what was best we would pray, spiritually get ourselves together or as I say "Get out of our own way sometimes and do what was needed because it is common for there to be a sudden shift in the wind and our lives can be thrown from calm to chaotic.  Unfortunately, we have no time to strengthen ourselves spiritually or should I say, we don't make the time because we are too busy building and strengthening ourselves physically.  In other words, we are too busy spending all of our energy trying to obtain everything in this world.  Don't get me wrong, comfort in this physical world is fine but always prepare yourself spiritually for the unexpected, because like in the days of Noah, the storm will come!

Our Father says in Matthew 15:8 that "Many people honor him with their mouths but their hearts are FAR from him."  In other words like the old saying goes, "I hear what you're saying, I just can't FEEL it."  Deeds are one thing but love is something totally different.  Many people can carry our religious acts but they are often void of love.  Have you ever been in a relationship with someone who was performing certain deeds in your life but you couldn't feel the love; the CONNECTION wasn't there?  This is the case with our Father,  books are being written about him and songs are being sung.  In other words, he hears what's being SAID but he still poses the question, "Where is the love (committed relationship)?"

We pray and pray and pray but can barely see any change.  We say we love our Father and we say our Father loves us?? Then, why does it seem to take so long for us to get the things we want?  While we wait for ABUNDANCE from our Father, he often only seems to deliver to us JUST ENOUGH.  We often wonder what is the method or madness behind having to often times wait sooo long? Does he not care whether or not we perish?  The answer is yes our Father cares and this episode will tell you the reason why we often have to endure having "just enough".

Throughout biblical times you will clearly come to find that isolation or forced solitude was never about punishment but in most cases about DEVELOPMENT.  In many instances you will see that in order to come to know our Father, you had to be removed FROM the people.  Our Messiah, Moses, Paul, Elijah, John the Baptist and so on often found themselves ALONE!  In order to hear what's spiritually going on within ourselves and receive guidance from our Father, we often have to kill the noise that going on around about ourselves.  Make no mistakes about it, your isolation is often times the preparation directly attached to your ELEVATION!

Do you find yourself being awakened in the early hours of the morning?  Are you unable to sleep thru the night and you wonder why?  I found out  that like the song says, "God/Our Farther may be trying to tell you something."  That's what 3:33am became for me; a time in which our Father wanted me to LISTEN, WATCH and PRAY.  It became a very divine time for me in my life.  So I say to you, If you're being awakened in the middle of the night, don't take it for granted and  surely it's not a bad thing.  It might just be possible our Father is trying to get your attention!
