Are you resisting the wonderful things that Father God desires to do in your life?
Stop frontin’. Even if you can’t keep it real with me, keep it real with you. Has God given you a glimpse of some awesome opportunities, but you find yourself hesitating and fellowshipping with the failures of your past? Welcome to the club. For a season longer than I care to remember, I was just like that. I held onto doing things my way and Father allowed me to wallow in a prison of misery and mediocrity.
It was like being in ‘purpose purgatory’.
I knew God had called me to greatness, but I was afraid because I had spent my life being prone to lateness. I was always “a day late, or a dollar short.” But then one day while going through some CDs to download to my laptop, I came across R. Kelly’s “U Saved Me” album.
Yes, I know brother Robert has had some moral failures and challenges. Yes, I know that he’s done some things that make many of you cringe. But guess what? He’s still a child of God. He still stands in candidacy of the sacrificial gift of Christ.
All God is waiting for him to do is surrender.
Have you surrendered to God?
Please take a few moments to download and listen to this song (or Youtube it) and allow it minister to you. Whatever your situation is in life, God just wants you to surrender and give it to him. I can’t preach to anyone about where they are or aren’t in life with all the nonsense that I’ve done getting to where I am. Lord knows I’m nowhere near where God desires me to be either. It’s a process. But truly, with all my heart, mind and soul…I surrender.
Let us pray: Father God, as Your sons and daughters we come to You in our brokenness with openness asking that You lift us out of furnace of failure and replenish us with the Living Water. Lord God Almighty, we’ve tried to do it our way, and it hasn’t work. O’ Most High, we know that You are Yahweh, the Way of Truth, and from this moment we desire to surrender our lives to You. We can’t do it without You Lord. You are the Knower of all things. You are the Giver of all things worth having. Father, as Your prodigal children we say to You that we want to come home. Indwell us with the Holy Spirit, wash away our sins of omission and commission with the Blood of our Lord and Savior Yahushua (Jesus) Christ the King, amen, amen, amen!

Is Hillary Clinton the Modern Day Jezebel?
This is volume ONE of a multi-part blog series that examines the political climate of this day.
By S-Dot for the S-Dot Files | ( ( ( s C m ) ) ) the movement
Hillary apparently must have Blondie’s 80’s hit, “The Tide is High” on repeat in her iPod. Peep the lyrics:
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no
As a man of God, I am encouraged by the restraint and dignity which Obama has conducted himself. Even though he has been attacked on all levels, he remains humble and committed to serving a greater cause than himself. I admire his tenacity and integrity, which demonstrate to me that I have much work to do in that area. He embodies the teachings of Christ’s Beatitudes in Matthew 5:3-12. Watching the example of his servant-leadership, the Holy Spirit lets me know my spirit is still too world-rich and I have to remain on the Potter’s wheel of change.
REAL TALK: I would’ve cursed Hillary and Bill out publicly and whipped their *ss*s privately by now for talking about my faith and undermining my dream (so pray for me, I’m still a work-in-progress).
Now, let’s take a comparative look at Jezebel and Hillary…
The biblical Jezebel was narcissistic. Like Hillary, her self-centeredness outweighed the greater good because of her “all eyes on me” fetish.
The biblical Jezebel was a false accuser. Like Hillary, who strategically sent out images of Obama in what appeared to be Islamic garb to imprint an image of conflict in the minds of voters attempting to goad him into ostracizing inter-faith supporters.
The biblical Jezebel operated by assumed authority. Like Hillary, who used her power-hungry position as her husband’s wife for selfish gain in the Whitewater scandal.
The biblical Jezebel was a bully. Like Hillary, who faced with the prospect of losing “offered” Obama the vice presidency to bow out gracefully before she launched an all out offensive strike.
The biblical Jezebel was covetous. Like Hillary, who repeatedly makes references to Obama’s ability to raise campaign funding without having to dip into his own pocket like she has.
The biblical Jezebel was a beguiler. Like Hillary, who has a seductive presence that disarms her prey as she devours them for her ‘Madam President’ at all costs agenda.
The biblical Jezebel was a control freak. Like Hillary, who has demonstrated severe control issues in mismanaging her campaign firing top-level staffers that refuse to allow her to micromanage their areas of expertise.
The biblical Jezebel was divisive. Like Hillary, who is willing to divide her own political party in order to laud over her own coven of “supporters” that fall in line out of fear of her retribution.
The biblical Jezebel offered a sanctuary from brokenness. Like Hillary, who married and consumed Bill, a product of the generational curses of substance abuse and domestic violence.
The biblical Jezebel was an emasculator. Like Hillary, who allowed her husband to be publicly lynched for an indiscretion a controlling, manipulative spirit would’ve known about beforehand.
Hillary, maybe it’s time to change your last name to Reynolds, because it’s a wrap!
LET US PRAY: Father God, we pray that You continue to be present in our conversations guiding us along the narrow path of the Way of Truth. O’ Most High, we come to You in repentance, humbled asking for You to commute our well-deserved sentence of fire and brimstone for all eternity. We thank You for forgiving our sins of trespass spoken and unspoken. Thank You for Your grace and unmerited mercies which You extend to us lowly saved sinners each day. O’ Yahweh, the Way of Truth, fill us with Your Holy Spirit to serve as our guide to holiness. Convict us when we become so self-centered that we’re no longer help-centered and out of alignment with Your will. Break our hardened hearts so that Your agape love can flow through our arteries removing the plague of bitterness, resentment, malice and strife against others. Use our words, actions and deeds as tools to demonstrate Christness to the lost, least and last. Dispatch Your angels from on high to surround our leaders with a hedge of protection against the principalities that wage war against the Kingdom. Protect them Lord God Almighty from the arrows slung by the enemy of the Way of Truth. Remind our leaders of the unavoidable truth found in the Holy Writ (Bible) which says in Ecclesiastes 9:2 “All share a common destiny – the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad, the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not. As it is with the good man, so with the sinner; as it is with those who take oaths, so with those who are afraid to take them.” This is our prayer of petition we lift up to you in the Name of our risen living Lord of reclaiming the lost, Yahushua (Jesus) Christ, the King of Kings, amen, amen, amen.
BEWARE OF JEZEBEL: She is an equal opportunity destroyer.
In His service,
