Loyal To Who


Loyal To Who

 

Good Evening,

 

I pray all of you have been well since my last message. I tell you when this message hit me it was like a ton of bricks falling on me from the sky. I titled this message as I did because it seems so many of us are making life altering decision out of a false sense of loyalty. There have been so many acts of murders being committed out of loyalty to gangs, neighborhoods, drug related and etc. I have to be the voice of truth for those of you who may be in bondage to the mentality of this loyalty. I just need you to stop and think about the consequences of this loyalty. Will this loyalty be present when jail time is knocking at your door? Will this loyalty be present when your own life is at risk? Will this loyalty be present when the mental anguish of taking someone’s life sets in your mind? I say to you if you’re going to be loyal to anything be loyal to yourself, your future, and God. If no one believes in you I believe in you that you are bigger than your circumstances, bigger than your environment in which you were raised, and the future is worth more than a momentary act of violence.  So many times we also allow loyalty to hold us in bondage to bad relationships as well! If the relationship isn’t helping you grow and it’s causing more complication then elevation then why is the see of this false sense of loyalty holding you there? What happens when the scars from this relationship of loyalty hinders you from healing? What happens when this sense of loyalty turns to violence with the relationship? What happens when the sense of loyalty causes you to lose yourself, lose your confidence, and lose your drive to live? If you’re going to be loyal to a relationship then it should reflect the love you give,  engulfed in the respect you deserve, elevate the mind and spirit beyond your understanding, and breathe life into the relationship at all times. Be wise and always be loyal to the love you have for yourself so then you are brave enough to see things clearly and make right decisions.

 

I believe or not we often show a sense of loyalty to materialism as well. What I mean is many of us will sell our soul by doing certain acts against ourselves just to have things such as the latest fashion, the newest car, the certain designer label, and much more. Now this loyalty is very dangerous because it comes with a reward of the things you love so its justified in your mind. You have to be very wise and honest with yourself in this one and remove the dirt from your vision. This loyalty will leave you with stressful days, crying nights, and emptiness within your soul. If you’re going to be loyal to something be loyal to the constant growth of who you are from the inside out. Be loyal to mastering who you are and rising above any situation and all these things will be attributes to who you are and not who you are.

 

Quote: Loyalty is a great trait to have, but it’s what we are loyal to that’s dangerous. ~d.taylor

I Have A Vision


I Have A Vision

 

In a world of senseless violence, materialism, and morale is extinct. In a world of divorce, casual encounters, and love comes with the assurance of emptiness. In a world full of division from republicans to democrats, rich to poor, skin to skin, church to church, and illusions to reality. I came to tell you I have vision. A vision of an alliance of God’s churches becoming God’s church. A vision of senseless violence becoming acts of love and inspiration.  A vision where education spills outside of those who can afford it and empowers those with it to help others to receive it. I have a vision where your ambitions and dreams are things to pursue instead of being another individual caught in the 40yr workforce system. I have a vision where churches form alliances to be active in the spiritual world, business world, and all active in the community. I have a vision when our young women are no longer the victims of what they see on t.v, but are women of power, respect, class, and substance. I have a vision that our young men will turn away from the mirages of a fast life in which women are treated like candy, children are left fatherless, and being a real man is put to the side. I have a vision of a coalition of men coming together teaching, instructing, and organizing our youth to teach and lead them to a new day. I have a vision where swag doesn’t exist, but the humble man/woman is evident because who you are shouldn’t have to be boasted. I have vision that the people will become thinkers and take control of the land and responsibilities as we should. I have a vision that we will restore our duties, and allow the government to control what we can’t in our existence. I have a vision where we as people come together and work together to use our financial resources to own our land, grocery stores, gas stations, banks, and etc. I have a vision that our efforts of togetherness will enable us to help our fellow brother and sisters during their time of struggle. I have a vision that our lack of knowing will end! I have a vision that our compassion will inspire the people! I have a vision that our commitment to each other will inspire a nation! I have a vision that we seize today to prepare a better tomorrow! I have a vision that a generation that seems lost and has been written off will rise and take their positions of success! I have vision that a sense of urgency will begin causing a shift to act now to rewrite a legacy that seems so undefined. I have a vision that the selfish acts of trying to outshine each other will seize. I have a vision that we educate, inspire, conquer, prevail, praise, live in humility, elevate a nation, change lives, and accomplish purpose while living a life of accountability.

I HAVE A VISION!!!!!

 

 

Quote: If you can make an individual think, then it opens them up to change, if they become open to change then the possibility of them taking a new course in life is more likely. If there is a vision then it sustains their focus as they take their journey. Vision is the gateway of the soul to success but upheld by the word of God. ~d.taylor

Bonded


Bonded

 

Good Evening,

 

I wanted to take some time and talk with you about relationships. I tell you this revelation I received has taken me to a new level as far as relationships are concerned. There are no doubts we all desire unconditional love, affection, and that mate we can depend on. In this present day and age it’s jaw dropping to see the high divorce rates and failed relationships in our society. We’ve all been to the point of maybe even wondering if something was wrong with us, because of our relationship failure. Here is a message that I pray will enlighten you on this very subject. When we meet someone we often follow our logical thoughts and what we may see. This isn’t a bad thing because you definitely want someone you are attracted to and who’s attracted to you as well.  However after meeting that individual the part we forget to acknowledge is the spirit. God said that what he has put together that no man can tear apart (Mark 10:9) and this is very true. The truth is anyone can say I Do, but what makes the scripture a reality is the understanding of spiritual bonding. The reason no man can tear apart what God brings together is because when you fully allow your spirit to connect with a person that bond can’t be broken. However it is a process that happens from the initial meeting of that person and continues as you get to know them. When spiritual bond takes place you will know it because it’s overwhelmingly satisfying for you and it begins to develop within the person you bonded with. The main thing is to enjoy beauty of it because at this point then you know that not only is this person for you but it was ordained. When God is leading then you begin to understand that your spirit doesn’t want to mix with something that isn’t good for it so spiritual bonding becomes necessary for you to involve yourself in anything. For those of you who may be reading and having that relationship monkey on your back then this message was written for you.

 

 

Relationships are essential to our lives but understand that the importance of spiritual bonding within a relationship is essential to the relationship. ~d.taylor

"Keys"


“Keys”

 

Good Evening,

 

I hope you all have been well since my last message. I would like to wish you guys a happy and prosperous new year on the behalf of IAMDRIVENFORSUCCESS. I titled the message “Keys” because this was a revelation that came to me over the last week. I know many of you have heard the saying, “God will open doors for you”. Well this is true but there is also one more part that many of us miss. For every door there is a key which is required to open that door. There is no doubt about it God has that door waiting and ready to be opened so that you’re exalted to your next level.  You’re probably asking yourself what is the “Key” right? Well depending on the person and the situation the key can be many different things. Your key may be receiving understanding, leaving a group of friends, obedience, and etc. It’s up to you to find that key through constant prayer of whatever your situation maybe. Many of us will hold our next blessing up just because we are overlooking the key to it or being too lazy to acquire the key to elevate ourselves.  The beauty of this thing is God has so much love for us that he has allowed us to begin life at any time, but also gives us free will so taking charge of your life is still on you.  Don’t be afraid to get in there and do the work because at the end of the day you are worth every blessing he has in store for you. The key is to discover yourself and find your “Key”.

We all have doors waiting to be open for us, but finding the key to unlock the door is the requirement we often miss. Find your key it can be in the form of obedience, wisdom, and etc. ~d.taylor
