What’s the Plan (Jeremiah 29:11)

Many people quote the scripture I know the plan that I have for you says of the lord. I know the thoughts that I think concerning you say the lord, thoughts of good and not of evil to bless you and prosper and to bring you to an expected end, but what’s the plan. Jeremiah said this to the children of Israel when they were being carried off to captivity and Babylon and they were going to be there 70 years but God still had a plan, their idolatry and disobedience did not cancel the plan of God and no decision that we have made in our lives or ever will make in our lives will cancel God’s plan. We can’t cancel Christmas, God’s   plan is going to happen, the abortion and the miscarriage has not canceled God’s plan, the divorce and the separation has not canceled God’s plan. Yes the loss of a job, the loss of a house none of those things can cancel God’s plan. We don’t  always dotted every i, crossed every t, highlighted everything that needs to be highlighted, underlined and italicized everything that need to be done yet God still has a plan. What’s the plan?

The plan is repentance. Repentance is   a change of mind or a change of heart that result in a change of action. The plan is for us to repent, for us to change, for us to do a 180, for us to learn the lesson from the consequences of our actions, for us to get the blessings, to repent to change.

Once we repent there’s reconciliation. The bible says God was in Christ reconciling the world back unto himself. God is in our experiences bringing us  back. God never left us, we got out of place and so the plan is that after we repent, reconciliation  and right relationship will also bring us back. 

What’s the plan? Restoration that God is bringing us back to the promise.  God is  bringing us back to optimal health, harmonious relationships and overflowing wealth.

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

  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

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
