  Do What Works For You (Jeremiah 40:4) Do what works for you, Jeremiah was in chains, he had been bound, and he was being set free. He was offered the option to stay in the promised land or to go into Babylonian captivity. He had a choice and the idea that Jeremiah had to do what would work for him. And today, you are Jeremiah. You have to do what works for you even if people don’t understand it. Share it with them, but don’t keep going back and forth with people if they don’t understand it. You still have to do what works for you. If people don’t agree with it, not everyone is going to agree with everything you do but you still have to do what works for you. Stop doing stuff that doesn’t work for you just so people will agree with you. Sometimes we have to agree to disagree but I have to do what works for me. Sometimes for my friends, I give them the FTR which means (I don’t agree with this, I don’t understand this, I don’t think this is going to work out) but because you are my ...

  Pro-choice (Hebrews 11:1)  I am pro-choice. Every day we make choices and decisions about how we are going to live our lives. We are always choosing between love and fear. It is a choice. You can choose to live your life in fear, or you can choose to live your life in love. Perfect love casts out all fear. You get to decide whether you want to operate in faith or doubt. It is a choice.  We all have doubts, questions, and concerns, but I allow my faith to be bigger than my doubts. I allow my love to be bigger than my fears. It's like muscles - in fact, we all have the same amount of muscles, but we don't all have the same amount of fat. So we are always going to have a little bit of fat, a little bit of fear, a little bit of doubt. But choose faith over doubt. Allow your faith to be bigger than your doubt and your love to be bigger than your fear. You are choosing between hope and worry when you look at your future. Are you worried about your future or hopeful about your...

  The Closer I Get to God (Jeremiah 27: 2). 2 June 2023 The closer I get to God, the more-free I become; God flowed through Jeremiah as a vessel to show the children of Israel what bondage look like. God said put a shackle, put a yo ke  around your neck, put bonds on your arms and put shackles on your feet and he was showing them what bondage look like. He was showing them that God was able to set them free and so the closer you get to God the more free you become because you will know the truth and the truth will make you free. The person whom the son sets free is free indeed. Yo ke  around your neck talks about inflexibility when you are in bondage. There is a yo ke  around your neck and you are not flexible to be able to turn and see various perspective. You only see one perspective, you are inflexible. And when God frees you, you are flexible. You are able to see various perspectives and you are not stuck in your way of doing things. Take the bonds off their arms...
