The tower is leaning.
Soon it will tip.
Babylon is falling.
The Church worships.
The enemy turns their
sWORDs against each
other.
Our God reigns.

“When the three hundred trumpets sounded, the Lord caused the men throughout the camp to TURN ON EACH OTHER with their sWORDS!”
(Judges 7:22)
Keep the TORCH lit.
The TRUMPET to your lips.
TIMING.
It’s all about timing.
Wait for it.
Babylon is falling.

FIVE questions
everyone must answer;
(Asked of John the Baptist
John 1:19-29)
1. KNOW who are YOU.
2. KNOW who you’re NOT.
3. KNOW how to answer,
“What do you SAY about yourself?”
4. KNOW your WHY.
5. KNOW who FOLLOWS you.

Art of Spiritual Warfare.
Whoever picks the TERMS & TERRITORY
of the WAR wins!
So, we must know
WHEN, WHY & WHAT-IN-HELL we’re fighting.
Let’s not beat the “air” or each other down!
We must know our assignment & lane, &
resist the nudge to judge
those that aren’t in either.
Hope SOW!
Sow what?
Sow a smile.
Sow kind words.
Sow forgiveness.
Sowing is a planted seed.
Sow, then go along your way.
Gradually, then suddenly.
From nowhere to now here!
Soon, the life you’ve sown
will have grown
into the life
you own!
.
I want to live,
& love
my PRESENT
life.
Not distraught
by either looking
back or trying
to look like my
PAST self.
I think it’s funny
how hard
we try to deny nature
& our FUTURE
aging self - like it’s
a plague.
“Getting old” is the
better alternative
than its option.
.
Pruned if you DO.
Pruned if you DON’T.
“I am a true vine,
& the farmer who tends the
vine is my Father. He CARES
for the branches connected
to me by LIFTING & PROPPING
UP the fruitless branches &
prunes fruitful branches
to yield greater harvest.”
- Christ
(John 15:1-3)
.
My late GREAT father-in-law,
Odie Coffey once asked me,
“Why is it that every MOTHER’s DAY
the preachers PRAISE and CELEBRATE
the Mothers - but on FATHER’s DAY,
the Dads get beat up! Always being
preached AT about their faults...”
Me: Duh? You’re right.
.
Contentment;
Where peace and passion
abide side by side.
.
Contentment is not the
same as complacency.
It doesn’t deter ones drive -
it just helps your drive
stay on the road.
.
JeaLOUSY.
A brain-drain.
Jealousy is a subtle seed of hate.
Hate in rejecting how God made us.
The opposite of LOVE
is FEAR.
Fear we don't matter,
or don't matter as much as others.
It drains the life out of us.
Accepting ourselves and others
is the antidote to jeaLOUSY.
When it comes to
relationships...
This talk of “walking away,” “
“cut them off, “I don’t need them,” etc...”
I respectably disagree that advice.
...let’s BUILD not BURN bridges.
Be patient.
Give people space and seasons.
Besides,
Enemies are high maintenance.
.
In every
DEED
there is a
SEED.
Everything
about you
matters.
Every trial, test
and triumph
is not just personal,
but generational
with eternal rewards.

To listen with
our FULL attention is
the best gift we can
give anyone.
The gift of DIGNITY.
It’s what God
gives us
when we pray.
It’s humbling
and overwhelming to think
that God Almighty
gives me
undivided attention
when I pray.
It’s one of
the reasons why
I love to PRAY!
.
Maybe my friends
aren’t stabbing me
in the back.
Perhaps I’ve turned
my back
and now their words
of council feels like
sWORDS
and personal
attacks.
.
Advice heard &
not heeded is a VICE.
Who KNOWs & NOEs You?
In struggle & stress,
who will you listen & follow
w/o delay?
.
CENSORSHIP
(Cancel-culture, social media blocks)
is the only defense weak ideology has
against intelligent and sincere scrutiny.
.
Paying attention to
WHO censors,
and WHO they censor
separates TRUTH
from rationaLIES.
Having done all, STAND!
TRUTH always prevails.
Satan is a
ventriloquist,
using our EGO
to make us look
like a DUMMY.
We all have an ego.
Making it our servant,
NOT our master is key.
Humility is the NEW
confidence.
HONOR
humility in others,
HONE
it in ourselves.

.
The baptism of the Holy Spirit
is not about a “person,”
but a personal experience.
The “THIS IS THAT” and
the “IT” that filled the house
in Acts 2 is about a
PERSONAL PENTECOST
encounter.
Had yours yet? (Acts 2)
#ExperiencingGodBeyondBeliefActs19#PentecostSundey
.
When you lose your way,
think ETERNITY.
What will matter
1,000 years from now?
Eternalize everything.
Then make your
way back to NOW.
From ETERNITY to here.
