I Color it Good! The Kingdom Key of Good & Evil

I Color it Good! The Kingdom Key of Good & Evil

READ | Genesis 2:15-17

“Finally, family, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things (Philippians 4:8).”

The Kingdom Key of Good and Evil does not suggest that evil does not exist. It just empowers us not to focus on negativity or to give evil power through our thoughts, words, and actions. Instead, we choose to see and focus on God and the good, in every person, in every place and in everything.

We see good in every place. There is no God forsaken place. God is omnipresence. Therefore, God is in every place (Proverbs 15:3). When our hearts are pure, we see God in every person, in every place and in everything (Matthew 5:8).

We see ourselves and others as only good because we were made in the image and likeness of God, who is excellent and called us very good. We are good not because of our thoughts, words, or actions. We are good because God said that we were good when God created us (Genesis 1:25, 31). Therefore, our baseline or minimum is good. We are never evil. We are never bad. On our worst day, we are at least good. We see others as good also. There is good in every person because the breath of God flows through each person (Deuteronomy 30:14). We choose to focus on the good in people and building them up as opposed to focusing on their faults and breaking them down.

  Who do you desire to be when you grow up? Read – I John 3:1-10 Scripture : “Beloved, now we are the offspring of God, and what  we will be has not yet been revealed. But we know that when  Christ appears, we will be mirror images (I John 3:1).” Denial : “My life is not about wants, but desires.” Affirmation : “I AM becoming more of the beloved offspring of  God that I already AM.” T.J. Holmes, an award-winning journalist and ABC news anchor and  correspondent, was the keynote speaker at my daughter,  Courtney’s, graduation from Walden University on Saturday, August 3, 2019, at the National Harbor in Prince George’s County, Maryland.  It was one of the largest graduations that I had ever attended. There  were graduates there from all over the earth. I cried from the time  the commencement address began until it ended. It was more than  me being proud of my daughter’s accomplishment of getting a  master’s degree in business administration. It was deeper than the  gathering of family an

Spoken I AMs Read – John 6:53-70 Scripture: “ It is the Spirit that gives life, not the flesh. The words that I speak, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63).” Denial: “There is no limit to who I can be.” Affirmation: “Everything that Jesus Christ said about himself, I can say about myself.” Jesus, our Wayshower, understood the power of his words.  Therefore, he made a conscious decision to speak life. When Jesus  said the words, I AM, he meant what he said. He was declaring his  divine nature and the truth of his being. When we see Jesus as our  Wayshower, it brings our attention to the truth that everything that  Jesus said about himself, we can say about ourselves. Every I AM  statement that Jesus made in the scriptures we can declare about  ourselves. There are seven recorded instances where Jesus actually begins a  statement with the words, I AM. I AM the Bread of Life (John 6:35).  I AM the Light of the World (John 9:5). I AM the Good Shepherd  (John 10:11-14). I AM the

Praying in the Already

  “ He asked this only to try him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do (John 6:6).”  Many people see prayers from the imagery of two roles: Santa Claus or a short-order cook. Some see a Santa Claus who gives out toys and gifts based on their naughty or nice behavior. The thought is that if you do all the right things, then God hears and answers your prayers. However, if you think, say. or do something that is not right or perfect, then God will not give you what you desire.  Others see God as a short-order cook. A waitress takes your order then calls it out to the cook who makes it in the kitchen. When your order is ready, the cook rings the bell signaling the waitress to pick it up and bring it to your table so that you can eat it and pay the bill. Some people believe that through prayer, God takes your requests, cooks them up, and delivers them to you.  When you pray in the already, you realize that God is neither Santa Claus nor a short-order cook. According to the s
