Able 2 Respond

I can truly say without a father figure taught me more than i could have learned with my father being around now don't misinterpret what I'm saying because the lessons would have been taught different. when you are instructed on what to do and you do it incorrectly or the way you want to, that's just flat out disobedience, now I'm not trying to justify my actions as a young man but its what i learned that i hope someone else can find inspiring so they can get through the transitional phase of their life, and not just to boys on their way to being a men but any young adult who is preparing to take on full responsibility in life, and that's where this thought starts while i was walking this journey i felt as if i was traveling the road alone, nobody was able to respond to what i was going through know everybody had an opinion but who was really sincere and wanted to see me get better in life and life in general because it was a lot that i did not know that i thought i knew but that's what I'm speaking about who is able to respond to someone who think they know what they really don't know but you as the comforter or life coach, or the shoulder to lean on are you able to respond with real passion and sincerity and not just being nosey , tonight as i sit and write this i just was inspired by what Micheal Vick's response to Dione Sanders question when he asked him have he spoke to Plaxico Burress, Another NFL player who is serving time in jail for his own shortcomings in life and his response was no, but he also said he know how he feel and i understand what he is going through then he went on to say that the time is not right, but their will be a time for that, now how many time have you seen someone down and out and right when they in the middle of it,and it just don't feel like its the time to be making suggestions but where are those people when you finally understand OK i was wrong i made some mistakes but where do i go from here, this is the point where you need to surround your self with people who are able to respond, are you able to respond or should i say whats you responsibility who life should you be impacting, remember that the next time you meet someone who traveling that road to redemption what role will you play will you make an impact because you are able to respond, remember to Transformtruly Evaluate, Educate, Elevate

The world is yours

One of america's most influential movie of all time is Scarface (starring Al pacino, I dont think its a young man who grew up in the 80's early 90's who have not seen this movie. The motto of the movie was the world is yours at the end of the movie he was killed and this is one of the main parts of the movie that the world glorifies, going out in a blaze of glory is something that makes you a hero in this macho society, to go out swinging or to not go down without a fight, In the more poverish neighborhoods all over america,it was the whole concept of coming up from nothing,or should i say rags to riches this movie had such an impact on young mens lives all across america,young men growing up in single parent households who did not want to be a burden to their mother related in such a way that this fictional character that was created for the big screen was like a replica of so many different situations all rolled into one, and the way he overcame it with the illegal actvities that the streets offer makes every young male in the world still thinks they have the chance of rising to supremecy through the obstacles that life has put before them.

My thought today is the WORLD IS YOURS, When we read Genesis chapter 1 verses28-30 god blessed man with dominion over all things in the earth, the first thing thats mentioned is to be fruitful and multiply, fruitful is a term that used trought out the bible that means to produce, this is the first charge to a man, in other words we are the bread winner, the head patriarch of your household, its in everyone's best intrest that the male takes his position and go out and set the trend or should i say set the bar for which his family will abide by,its been 27 years since this movie first made its debute young men today have gotten away from the morals of the game which where partrayed in this movie, family is the least of importance in todays young wannabe's, gangsters of the much earlier times understood the need to be family oriented it displayed dominence because everyman was a king in his own right, in this movie tony montana did not have a mistress or neither did he have lots of groupies, somewhere down the line the new aged gangsters found the need to have a supply of woman, just has the code of the streets have changed, so has the understanding of what gods intentions where for men, to multiply was mans next order because there is a need to keep your legacy,proverbs 13:22 says that a good man leaves an inheirentance to his childrens, childrens whether that be fortunes, a good name etc, I also believe that a man can leave behind all the foolishness that hes created and cause his kids to be left with those demons which continued to haunt him.

God created man on the sixth day and then he rested on the seventh, not only on did the seventh day give god a chance to rest but it gave man a chance to look back over the week and see what god had created for him, luke chapter 12 v 32 says fear not for it is your fathers pleasure to give you the kingdom, the word kingdom refers to gods way of doing things so with that being said that if i remain faithful and obedient to his world then the world is mine. learn to put god first in everything that you do and allow is grace and his mercy to sustain you in this lifetime.

growing inside of your change

when we as human beings make decisions in our lives that lead us down paths that become unhealthy for our well being,its almost second nature before our conscious kicks in forewarning us that its time to make some changes, some people hear the warning and it causes them to ponder,why am I going through what I'm going through, then for some of us its the ride that gets us, for me it was about the thrill just like so many we know our actions are wrong but if it become beneficial to the flesh then the more difficult it become to make the change for the better, but when my definition of better seems to be far fetched and the obstacle to obtain the better seems to much to bare, then our actions become repetitive which later becomes labeled has bad habits,

What do you do when those habits have started to control your life and the end results lead you to a place where you don't understand, How do you come back from a wrong turn, the first step is accepting your position, i was traveling down a road and i did not no where i was going, from the moment this journey started, its hard for a lot of people to admit fault, and they start to give excuses for the reason why their lost. true enough some are given bad direction from the jump but if i make it to this place of darkness and knowing that somethings not right in my life then i have to make that decision to change the direction where I'm headed from that point on i got to accept the responsibility of my life, the second thing is to get some type of assistance to get back on the right path we all know that if man could have been any assistance then you would not keep ending back up in those same predicaments, to become truly transformed you got to plan to move forward from the place where you are and not from where your where and what i mean is that when people say that they need to make a change they always refer to those same habits that keep bringing them to this place of uncertainty, true repentance is the key to growing inside of your change accepting the will of god for your life once i embrace the will of god for my life then in Christ,i become a new creature so from that place of uncertainty,where i have ended up know that the person i was when i arrived is not the same person that's returning back into existence, as you make your way back with a better perspective in life let your light shine, just as the Caterpillar who once crawled an slithered its ways around after spending time in the cocoon now it can fly free where ever it please now that a sign of TRUE TRANSFORMATION

Evaluate,Educate,Elevate

Through out our lives we are faced with decisions,To make these decision we rely on education, advice from our elders,or past experiences too help come up with the best solution, what ever the problem may be,The time in between from when you first acknowledge the problem to actually solving the problem is a very important moment. learning to evaluate, educate, and elevate will clearly help you make the better choice of the options which are before you

There is going to come a time in each one of our lives when we feel the pressure from the choices we make,Good or bad I came up with this concept the three E's, Evaluate, Educate,and Elevate, First step is the evaluation process the need for cleansing, A period where you can reflect and put it all on the table,taking responsibility and owning up to your actions, having control not only helps you vent from a place of comfort but if the choices or decisions you are making involve others it allows them to feel confident in you There came a time in my life when it felt like my life was a disaster, I took the concept from every day decision making, and applied this to the spiritual aspect of my life. first i had to realize that I'm solely responsible for what happened in my life,I had to acknowledge the problem.this was the evaluating process. who am i,what spuratic events happened in my life what caused me to become astray,when did the change actually take place and why
Truly Transformed is a past tense expression which indicates change has took place buy using this concept the three E' will help you Transformtruly

after expressing your feelings and drawing conclusions about the situation at hand know its time to find the answers to those questions educating myself with the answers to my questions became key because i was looking to become a better person all the way around after seeking truth spiritually and in the flesh i was ready to gain a better perspective on life than what i perceived

Picture being stranded on an island you, and a few other people and to eat someone got to go out and kill something to survive, if you the one who got the heart to carry it out and you find success so of course the others are going to applaud you amongst your return. Now we know if the circumstances where different then so would your actions, You would not act out of desperation this is the effect poverty have on peoples lives all over this world. How we got here is irrelevant until help arrive we do what we can to survive, We all know that when our situation does not look favorable how easy it is to panic, We usually panic when were scared and you become scared from not having no plan, but here's the thing having a plan does not always mean survival. from the time that we came out the womb destiny was set over our lives As we start to get older and mature some things become less attractive.

Everybody has their own desires and what influences you might have, may mot be so appealing to the next person. A plan in life without god becomes not you destiny it just turns out to be a place of arrival from being guided by the world.The push for so call success which has a drastic effect on you while living outside the will of what god. At the end of the day when it all falls down, we find our self dwelling on what we should have done or what we could have done that would have gave you a better outcome but its at these moments where it time to Transformtruly, This is a suggestion to any and everybody who finds there self looking for answers to get their life intact after Evaluating my situation thoroughly and start to seek information and knowledge daily and have found myself equipped with the resources and tools to move forward in my life,Its now time to Elevate,taking the initiative of stepping out and walking in your newness of life this is the head of it after it all comes together its what you learned during the evaluation period which helps identify the ares of your life where you needed guidance and what was learned from the education process causes you to discover potential that you would have never known but realize none of this is possible without the spirit it keeps you going and make the change in your life more fulfilling. THE NEXT SEGMENT (LEARNING TO GROW INSIDE OF YOUR CHANGE IS NEXT

Introduction

The thought of some of us revealing the places we have been in our past, careless actions that were carried out, relationships that meant no good are things that some of us would just rather not confront.I believe that every body has something their withholding. maybe its a specific person,or a certain day you were not clearly thinking and you became ashamed of those moments in time or the events that took place even if we just keep those thoughts hidden in the back of our mind they still resurface every once and a while, leaving you with regrets that keeps you feeling low

the worse thing you can do is to keep these thoughts with you and never come forth with them. Now that does not mean go back and try to find everyone and everything from your past (that could take some a lifetime). The blessing comes when we are able to evaluate each event,relationship, or strange occurrence, and find revelation in it.god allows us to go through certain events, the key word being (through) remember only two things happen, It either makes you or breaks you when you overcome it, Then it makes you whole you become wiser, even stronger than before but even if it breaks you it still teaches you a lesson mostly the discipline you obtained while going trough it giving you discernment that allows you to prevent these type of things from happening again.

why not try to take and use those experiences to seek salvation connecting the mind, with the holy spirit which gives you an outlet. Having a will to confess is normal and necessary because the spirit wants to deal with the problems.For example when your computer has a virus and its being overtaken it can't function correctly no matter if you restart it, or reboot it' your hard drive will remain altered, but it's when you download the protector to remove the virus now its not only free from what was causing it harm its now being guarded. that's sort of the role that the word of god plays in our life we have to reprogram and renew becoming anti to the enemies attacks( Romans 12:2) says be not conformed to the ways of the world but be transformed by the renewing of the mind.
The mind controls,The body reacts,and The spirit strengths that's like my own analogy on transforming truly, evaluating the mind is the first step to making this work. sometimes we have those dramatic moments. some more severe then others causing you to reflect. what we find is that some of the things that happen were on purpose. Now when we grow up outside the lines. The lines being the rules of the world we tend to believe that we survive on our on strength the hustle we create, the lies we tell, allowing our ways only to become custom to the lifestyle we lead . I heard a speaker once use an example as to were when your eyes start to adjust to a dark room and you seem to find your way around after while it becomes normal and what i come to know is that now when the lights do come on not only does it allow you to see clearly it sort of now illuminates. secondly we have to bring out within us our best allowing the change that took place on the inside to manifest on the outside following the footsteps of the lord,worshiping daily studying his word, the body which is the actions the growth, the statue that we display for the world,then the spirit holds it all together the motor keeps you going day to day
so as you read this book and start out on your quest to transforming truly
hopefully the information you obtain from some of my past experiences
will inspire and draw you closer t gods word because it's god uncompromising
word that will direct you guide you correct and secure you in growing and prospering In this lifetime.
