I AM Open and Receptive to Divine, Unlimited Ideas (Mark 7:31-37)

“To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open (Revelation 3:7).” KSB 

When you were born, you entered this world open. You came into the earth through an open womb, you squinted and opened your eyes, and you opened your mouth to be fed and to cry. You began life open. But something happened along the way, a trauma, drama, or some painful experience that caused you to close yourself off. Now, you are on a journey to open up again. The same way something caused you to close, something can happen to help you open. I am on a journey to open, you are on a journey to open, we are on a journey to open, to open our minds to divine, unlimited ideas; to open our hearts to love; to open our eyes to see God and goodness in every person, place, and thing; to open our ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to us; to open our mouths to speak what is good and positive; to open our hands to give and receive; to open our feet to go to new places and have new experiences. You are on a journey to open, and no matter how closed off you feel, a miracle, sign, or wonder can happen to make you open.

Some of us have deadbolt locks on our hearts and minds, with motion sensors and alarms that go off if anyone gets too close. Others may not have the alarms, but there’s still a chain on the lock. But you’re on a journey to open, where these chains are being removed from your heart and mind. You’re on a journey to open, where the deadbolt is coming off your mind and heart. For some, the door may still be closed not chained, but the mind or heart is still closed. You’re on a journey to open. Some of us are looking through the peephole, trying to see what’s on the other side of being open, wondering what might happen if we open up. Some of us crack the door slightly not fully open, but it’s a start. God is saying, “Give me that crack,” as part of your journey to openness. Eventually, we reach a place in our consciousness, thoughts, and fears where we open the door fully and say, “I am open and receptive to divine, unlimited ideas.” I am on a journey to openness, where the door God opens, no one can close, and the door God shuts, no one can open.

Many times, the doors in your life are closed because your mind and heart are closed. Be honest about being closed; be open about being closed. A closed door reflects a closed mind, and a closed window reflects a closed heart. But if you open your mind, doors of opportunity will open. If you open your heart, doors to harmonious relationships will open. We are on a journey to open. As you fast, allow God to heal you from your past. In this time of prayer, fasting, and reflection, let it be a journey to open yourself, where God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask. I am open enough to ask; I am open enough to think that it is possible. All things are possible because I believe, and I am open. I say yes to God, I say yes to good, and I am open.

  Are You a People Pleaser (Matthew 14:6) 06 February 2024   Who are you pleasing today? Some of us are people pleasers. We live our entire lives trying to please people, trying to get their approval and validation. We get pleasure out of pleasing other people, and so we do everything looking for people to be pleased with us.   Are you living your life for people, trying to please people? Some of us try to please ourselves, and we forget people. I AM    pleasing myself, and so all our lives are consumed with self-pleasure, and immediate gratification, and so we live our lives pleasing ourselves, or are you pleasing God? Are you living your life with one purpose: to please God? Are you concerned with whether or not God is pleased with you? At the end of the day, when God says well done, thou good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things. I will make you rule over me. That’s what I Am living for.   I am living to please God; I desi...

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...

  I AM a Good Tree and I Bring Forth Good Fruit (Matthew 12:3) I AM a good tree, and I bring forth good fruit. I was created that way. When God made everything, He spoke over the creation and said it was good. When He got to human beings, He said not only were we good, but we were very good. Affirm with me today: I AM a good tree because I was created that way. It doesn’t matter what anybody else says; I was created good. God said I was very good.   Good is the essence of who I AM. Because I AM a good tree, not only was I created that way, but I also continue in that way. My good is a continuation of how I was created. Because I AM a good tree and I was created that way, my way of being is good. The energy and aura that come from me that exudes from me are good because I AM a good tree. How I see people, places, and things is good because I AM a good tree. I can’t help but see the good in God and people because I was created that way, so I continue that way. My way of th...
