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 friend, I love you and I support you. I will be here with you and I won’t throw it up in your face when it falls apart. I will be right here loving you and supporting you but I don’t agree.

You have to do what works for you even if people don’t like it or even if people stop liking you because you don’t do what they want you to do. It’s okay if people don’t like you, not everyone is going to like you. Stop people-pleasing and doing things to appease people that you don’t like. You have to do what works for you. Stop investing your time, money, and energy in people, places, and things that don’t work for you. You have to do what works for you.

Let me tell you, you are one with God, you are one with all life, you are one with the one cause. There is only one.

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
