Exposed


Exposed

 

Good evening,

 

I pray all of you have been well since the last message. This message right here has been on my mind for a couple of days. It took me a minute to write it because I knew it was going to be a powerful message. You know sometimes in our lives things happen, we make mistakes, and some things are just meant to happen. I titled this message “Exposed” because I wanted you to understand the position you are in your life is the position you have allowed yourself to be in. The truth is many of us are holding on to things from our past and at the mere thought of addressing the issue we get very defensive. Some of us act out our ways to seek attention so that we feel acceptance or feel like the spotlight is on us. We also tend to turn away from the very issues we know we have within ourselves just so we don’t have to see how ugly the scar is in the mirror. Well tonight I hope this provides a breakthrough for you because none of those ways will get you to where you want to be in your life. You must understand the most important thing about you lives within you. Therefore in order to receive elevation in your life you must learn how to stand still and strong in the midst of fire. Here is a concept for you; many of us are afraid of fire because we know that it can burn you and cause you bodily harm. However on the other hand depending on how much you really want to be successful and fulfilled in your life as a person. What if you begin to look at fire from the prospective of; it burns the impurities off that which is good! What I’m saying to you is all the things that have happened in your life, all the things you’ve done wrong, and all you may be dealing with now in your life are all impurities. In order to release yourself to a new life and new level of happiness then you have to be willing to expose yourself and see every flaw. Don’t be afraid to let God and yourself see this side of you because at that point that means you are now willing to take on every disappointment, stand up to fear, display humility, and reincarnate the very person you are just by looking at your current state. Once you are able to do that then you can fathom the idea of who you should be and visualize being that person. Once you can see something then you can obtain it, but everything must start with a vision. Exposure isn’t going to kill you and it’s ok to feel some feelings then aren’t of a happy feeling. It’s normal to feel that way however you must stay poised and understand the bigger picture of your life and purpose. You remember getting hurt as a child you would look at the wound and cry out. Once you cried out mama would show up with band-aids and some kind of crème. You would then forget about that wound and go right back to playing even with a visible scar. Well it’s no different now as an adult except when you cry out and show your wound it’s revealed to God and yourself. Just as child you were willing to see the wound and once it was attended to you moved on. Well that same principle applies to you as an adult, by exposing your flaws and wounds this will only enable you to move on.

 

 

Quote: The hardest thing for a person to do is to face the flaws of who they are. What we must understand is greatness and fulfillment never starts with a good flaw but by the exposure of our negative flaws so we learn our weakness which is necessary to produce our greatness.  ~d.taylor

The Moment


The Moment

 

Good Morning,

 

I hope all of you are doing well since my last message. I tell you this last week has been a week of revelation for me personal, but also there was a profound message I felt compelled to write today.  Often we fail to realize the gift of opportunity that we are blessed with on a daily basis. However many of us fail to capitalize on these moments when they present themselves. Everything that happens in our lives isn’t coincidence, but is truly a rare moment that may open doors to better opportunities for us. The mistake is made when we try to intervene by trying to speed up or slow down the process. Many of us turn away from a grand opportunity that has been a total blessing thus far in our lives because we become consumed with fear. Just because this opportunity may seem too good to be true or even if it’s something that is good for you and you may not have been in the presence of it before shouldn’t make you walk away from it. The truth is you will be tested everyday with some kind of decision, but those moments that you feel in your spirit that have to be made are the ones you can never walk away from in your life. No matter how much we grow in this life, there will never be a perfect time for anything that happens. We look at things from our time prospective not realizing our insight of time is merely just a foot stool in the eyesight of God. You have to be prepared and willing to step in the line of fire when your moment comes because this moment could prepare you for the next. Never be too stubborn or prideful to sacrifice meaningless things in your life for the greater good of your life. Biblical speaking the spirit of fear isn’t a spirit of God so if you’re fearful of an opportunity then it has to be the opposition keeping you from making a decision that could elevate you to the next level. So what will you do when your moment comes? How will you answer the challenge to do better and be better? Will you put it off for fear? Will you embrace the moment of truth and prevail to a new level of life? I hope that when you read this message whatever has happened in the past or present that you’re able to let it go and release yourself from the bondage of it all. Seize your moment when your time comes, for the next time may not ever come.

 

Quote: Every moment is just a setup for the next moment, but through each moment the key is to gain courage, wisdom, and understanding. This is the only way to execute a successful decision in any moment you face. ~d.taylor

Vision


Vision

 

Good evening,

 

It’s my pleasure to speak with you guys again. I tell you it’s been a wonderful week as I embarked on this journey to find more about myself through God’s eyes. I just wanted to take some time to shed some light into you guy’s life. Often times we can’t seem to reach our goals or break away from the negatives in our lives. What you must understand is that in any season a vision has to be given, but also in that same breath you personally have to birth a vision of yourself. If you can’t produce a vision then how can you expect to obtain it in your future? Maybe no one has ever told you or maybe you overlooked it, but there is a process that goes with obtaining your vision. The first step is actually having the vision followed by immediate conversation with God in understanding the vision. Second step is to write it down because any goal or vision should be written down (Habakkuk 2:2) in preparation for the manifestation of that vision. Third which is the most important part is get confirmation from God and make sure your vision matches his will for you. The greatness that lies within you can’t be measured, but we often sell ourselves short because we can only see ourselves doing so much. However the greatness in you is meant to produce a harvest, but if you never line yourself up with it you then you’ll never receive it. Don’t be kryptonite to your vision; you can do this so easily by allowing yourself to intervene when things are going good or simply by not understanding where you are in your life at this present moment. When I say understanding where you are that simply means exposing yourself to yourself and owning every flaw you have. You can’t improve on something you cant admit to, you can’t produce or receive vision without confronting yourself first, and you can’t obtain God’s vision of you until you’re willing to allow him to see you as you are besides he already knows. Once you admit to it then it shows humility and humility is the beginning phase of exaltation. I tell you we have so much power and all it takes is such simple things to use them and apply it to our daily lives. Before I go I must say please know this vision message goes two ways. Every vision isn’t good vision (Jeremiah 23:9) so be careful who you let speak a vision in your life and even your own vision can be your own ambition more so then a vision for your life which is that of God. As I end this message I know a good friend lil preacher boy is reading this message and smiling, so to you lil preacher boy I say thanks its all coming together.

 

 

Quote: Solitude is your best friend. It forces you to think and address the issues of your life. You have to be able to see yourself in your most humble form to appreciate the vision of what you can become. Humility produces the fruit of dedication and preparation which eventually leads to manifestation of your life.
