faith: And We Begin Again - 2012 - 01/01/12 10:02 PM
And We Begin Again....
This time with celebrations of gaiety freshly cemented in our minds, we plough ahead.
This time, we carry with us, learned instruction - experience we resolve to use... THIS time.
THIS time though, is different.... Time has been lessened....
We cannot use what we applied in the past because we have run out of that time!
Nevertheless, we begin again.... With fresh determination... we set out...
Will we ever come into the knowledge of the truth? If we continue to pursue goals based upon what WE want, time after time, without noticing our … (17 comments)

faith: Acquiring "Substance" - 07/10/11 05:44 PM
Wonder WHY things are NOT happening as you believe they should for you? Ever seem like only OTHERS are realizing their purposes in life, and NOT YOU?? There is a possibility that you need to acquire "substance". Just WHAT is substance? Substance is that itty bitty amount of accumulated matter that settles upon things.... ANY thing that is a "thing" gets a dose of it as long as the thing is not moving! It's the stuff you cannot see in it's onset... it's like fine grained...
"dust"!
Dust appears.... right? If we would just leave things alone and wait … (16 comments)

faith: Today, The Rain Came - December 31, 2010 - 12/31/10 03:10 PM
Today, the rain came...Today, the rain came down at a pace with determined repetition, relentless in it's ambition to wash away all traces of remembrance of every opponent in it's path. It's purging cleansing downpour was sent to search under, over, through, and in between secret places of hoarding, unabashedly liberating agendas, plans, plots, and schemes in it's uncovering. This pronouncement upon the earth has come to extinguish all evidence of lurking devices. A grand elimination of waste and weights occurs in this drenching. Hidden works of darkness, being exposed, have no way to cloak it's lewd nudity in this flushing. Divisive … (27 comments)

faith: Be In A Hurry To Wait.... - 01/20/10 09:12 AM
We are a hurried Nation. Rush is our daily resolve, with impatience contending to replace the virtue of patience. Technology is defined as speed, with lines formed to snatch the newest birth of it's womb. We have succumbed to mechanisms.... programmed manifestations to assist us in remaining dull of hearing.
We have failed to set a watch over our mouths, allowing the spewing of perverseness to taint the exosphere... the onset of materialization of woes.
Granted the responsibility over death and life through the power of the tongue, we choose our fate upon every iota uttered. We have released unpremeditated cursings or blessings upon substance... Substance that will yield … (20 comments)

faith: Three Days Unto 2010 - 01/03/10 06:30 PM
It was in 2008 when i began to set aside the first three days of every month to have a first fruit fast unto the Lord. These three days have helped me to clear my mind, spirit, and body. The biggest benefit for me, is receiving more acuteness in the Spirit Realm to hear God.
On the 1ST, i was awakened with... a word of correction which, i gratefully received wholeheartedly. When the chastening of the Lord occurs, it's His Love, which i readily accept, knowing, if we are without chastening, God deals with us as bastards, and not children of the Kingdom.... Thank You God!

faith: What NOT To Bring Into The NEW Year... B L A M E !! - 12/31/09 04:08 AM
Blame points a finger, finds fault, and searches to criticize someone or something for having differing methods or ideas. The one doing the blaming usually has no mercy toward the accused.
And, just WHO is to BLAME?
The President we y'all elected - it's HIS fault! NO - It was the PAST president's fault! The Republicans - THEY are the ones! (Just ask the Democrats) NOPE! It was the Democrats! (Just ask the Republicans) Wall Street - It's their fault! Nah! - Main Street! Sub-Prime Mortgages - those greedy lenders are responsible! Those REALTORS®! They are to blame! Nope - … (39 comments)

faith: FEAR - Does It Have YOU On The Run? - 11/25/09 01:33 AM
We've all experienced that nagging feeling of doom. It usually happens after hearing about or seeing negative news that occurred or was dreamt about. We respond different ways...
Heart skips a beat or two & sweat appears on forehead An anguished cry erupts from the mouth We run, or hide, or both We stand, unmoving in shock and awe We wring hands, pull at hair, or shake head in unbelief We open our mouths, gasp, then place hands over it We call someone asking for prayer We check the news - or other sources to verify We DO something... We DO nothing..., etc. The hearing of bad news causes a "grip of … (15 comments)

faith: Are you LED or LEAD? - 10/23/09 08:42 PM
Of all the things i love about my husband, it's his "I will NOT be moved" spirit that gains my highest regard toward him. In our fifteen years of marriage, there has not been a single regret that can be attributed to the decisions he's had to make for our well being, and it's been because of his relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
When challenges presented itself, what did he do? NOT A THING... until he received clearance and directives from God! Before learning of his ways, i used to stand on my head.... to NO avail! He had no empathy for my … (17 comments)

faith: Loving the HELL Out Of Your Enemies - 10/10/09 11:26 AM
Do you have enemies? OF COURSE you do... they are everywhere... even in the Rain! Seriously, Active Rain? Really? NO!!! Couldn't be... for we are a group of professionals seeking to get our brand out to the public! We work TOGETHER don't we? We LOVE one another.... there are NO haters here!!!
Upon closer examination, you will find that PEOPLE THEMSELVES are not haters....a human is not your enemy.... a person is just a body, a shell, a container, a conveyor, and that's all. It's what is allowed to fester inwardly that is the poison! In simple infantile language.... it's WHAT YOU ARE FULL OF!
Whatever you're grubbing upon will surface.... and whoever is … (22 comments)

faith: If The "devil" Can SCARE You... he Will RIP YOU OFF!! - 08/21/09 12:00 PM
This is being written to help encourage BELIEVERS. Come on now, saints.... God PROMISED you'd have tribulations upon this earth!! However, He also gave you a SURE WORD you can count on.... be of GOOD CHEER, for He has overcome the world!!
Just WHERE did you hide your faith? Go pick it back up - for you will need it in these trying times!! Don't you know it's a GOOD fight He's asked you to fight? Well, now, if you are cowering in some corner, afraid to enter into the ring, you'd never find out just how much of an OVERCOMER God … (26 comments)

faith: Solutions To Section 8 For Believers (Part 3 of a Series) - 05/03/09 04:35 PM
In part 1 and part 2, some of the truths of the hindering dependencies on Section 8 were uncovered. Not all can receive this word, for it is targeted for the believer in God, not religious "church-goers", but for those who have heeded the call to follow Jesus by faith.
There is a manner in which God wants His people to walk.... FREE from the systems of this world. None of us have totally arrived, for the transforming work is a progress as we yield to the unction of the Holy Spirit and obey. When God called His people out of … (10 comments)

faith: TUNE in, LISTEN.... Then OBEY - 02/09/09 09:32 AM
We plan our day the night before, carefully deciding what we will wear, making conscious effort not to select an outfit similar to what we donned the previous time we attended a certain event. Mentally, we have rehearsed what we'll say. The necessary materials are all arranged that we will take with us; perhaps a listing presentation, the bank statement, copy of minutes from the last meeting, CMA report, etc. (depending upon the mission).
The day arrives! We are in anticipation of carrying out our appointment, and we have begun with prayer, thanking God first, asking Him for a successful presentation, … (17 comments)

faith: The "Difference" - 10/01/07 07:37 AM
Being a believer in GOD makes a huge difference when it comes to Real Estate. With the market place experiencing times of unsteadiness, there is an assurance one can have in the midst of these worldwide changes. A Believer has GOD'S SECRET.
A believer has the LORD to turn to, lean upon, and hope in. And because HE never fails, one will not have to grope in the darkness, wondering what they will do. One's faith in HIM gives confidence that HIS Word is true regarding what HE has promised! One of a multitude of affirmations, asserts, HE will NEVER leave … (27 comments)

faith: Use that FOUR Letter Word! - 08/29/07 10:52 PM
The dreaded four letter word we do not like to hear! At the sound of it, an immediate sinking sensation in the pit of the belly festers while the heart forgets the precise timing of the next chord scheduled to echo it's beat. The brain begans to decipher it's implication.......
It's that dirty four letter word!
A feeling of despair, hopelessness, and dismay hits the hearer who has to brace himself from the light-headedness experienced from withstanding the impact of it's resounding! Beads.... salty with excretion, form dew-like drops on the brow as an appearance of lines upon the forehead alters the countenance of the once smiling face........
It's that dirty four letter word!
If at all possible, we'd avert, go around, and shoot that word to smithereens in … (34 comments)

faith: The "OPEN" Door - 07/28/07 01:24 AM
Are you are facing CLOSED DOORS? You may have tried:
Speaking: "OPEN SESAME!!!"Kicking the door open!Knocking on the door!Praying that the Door would open....Going around the door!Going under the door! Going over the door!Using keys to the door!Going THROUGH the door! OUCH!!Looking for an opening in the door!Laying hands on the door!Leaning against the door!Blowing open the door!ALL of this.... to NO AVAIL! You figured, well, "it worked before!" It certainly should happen again! You've gone by the book, did all the right things from A to Z, have said all the right things, and were in great expectations! The door still failed to open!
So now you are … (20 comments)

faith: HOMES in the SPIRIT - 07/21/07 12:05 PM
Before land materialized, it was first "in the SPIRIT" prior to being "spoken into existence." This is true with anything.... it has to be conceived, before the birthing.
The "land" was placed here in it's manifested state prior to man's arrival, and purposed for man's future habitation. As REALTORS, we have a responsibility to keep it real with clients seeking the home designated for them. We have the privilege of being able to assist in ushering them to their piece of "heaven on earth!" What an arduous task ahead for us! How can this be done successfully? For the answer, let us go to … (10 comments)

faith: CLOSED DOORS - 07/18/07 09:34 PM
For the past several months, we have been facing CLOSED DOORS! In the natural, it would appear that we chose the wrong field, and that we should pack it all in and CLOSE SHOP!!!
I've experienced at least 12 deals this year that fell apart because of change of heart by the buyer or seller. No use trying to coerce, pry, manipulate, convince, plead, preach, threaten, grab by the neck, chastise, sweet talk, or whine!! These deals went totally sour!
No need to rationalize, rehearse, retrace tracks, go figure, relive, pinpoint, blame, disdain, accuse, kick self in butt, have tantrum, or bury head in embarrassment...... THESE DOORS … (38 comments)
