I Surrender All

As I am in my Morning Worship session The song that I am listening to is William Mcdowell I surrender all... and it posed a question to me do you really know what surrendering all means?


Surrender- means to Cease resistance to an enemy or opponent and submit to their authority




Now when we surrender to the enemy we admit defeat we concede because we've understood that we never could have won so we give into the demands of enemy..

But the surrendering I am blogging about is to God's will

Now Dont mistake being saved with total surrendering they both are choices, being saved is a life-style and total surrendering to God's WILL is a committment that can never be broken.

 You have to want to be subjected to all the persecution that christ endured 


 sacrifice your whole existance for God's purpose....


This mean that everything God's requests from us we have to say ''YES'' even when you have no idea what your  saying yes to this is what surrendering is... you are saying to God I trust your will for my life wherever you take me I want to Go if its difficult times, heartache, if I have to toil, & labor WHATEVER it is I am going to surrender because I trust you for my life 


So understand God work through you out of obedience he has given you free will to choose,,, so God as of today 


''I SURRENDER ALL TO YOU''

LanierJ's Prayer in Despair

There will be no lack in my house

As the man of this house, I issue a decree over my territory; because I was given the Authority. The decree is "There will be no lack in my house’’. Lord I delight in the challenge of suffering, because it moves me to the next level of my life.

 If something that my physical man feels it can't do without isn’t challenged, than I will never know how to trust you with my whole heart.

 And at this time everything that I depended on has been taken away from me, not to punish but to offer me the opportunity again to lean on the only source I need; and that is You. We have been through to much together for me to ever think that you would leave me in this position without the comfort of the Holy Spirit, so I issue my decree again

''There will be no lack in my house!’’

 No weapon formed against me shall prosper. In spite of the current setback I am in, Your presence and Power will never allow me to fail. Just when it seem that all is lost, I look towards You and realize where my strength comes from.

In my appointed time shall I wait until my change comes. I know that your speaking to me through my pain, in a way that if all was normal I couldn’t hear you. Well God, instead of complaining I am going to consecrate myself & leave myself open to the input you want to give me. That I can pour out what I have received. No longer will I ever question you but I will submit to your will for my life and as long as I have You in my life…

‘’There will be no lack in my house’’

Why are you so spiritually blind??????

I was inspired this morning from a preacher cant think of his name right now but he exposed a very familiar verse to me and brought new revelation to me through it 

Isaiah 6:1 says 
It was in the year King Uzziah died that I saw the Lord. He was sitting on a lofty throne, and the train of his robe filled the Temple


Now naturally we now this was Isaiah call to ministry and he happily accepted in verse 8 after humbling himself before the Lord ...

Now before you can get to him being the '' Gospel prophet'' we have to realize what he had blocking him ALL this time........

Text: Isaiah says ''it was the year KING uzziah died that he saw the Lord''


Isaiah had finally realized that the little king he was serving was keeping him from the manifestation of his purpose..




 My question to you is plain..... What King(s) are keeping you from your Godly purpose??????

We serve little kings of......
Jobs- because we make a decent wage and live comfortably this comes first

A man/woman- thinking that what they give us makes us happy and dependent upon them


Material thing- boasting upon as if they make you the person you are trying to be something your not 


And the sad part about it is that ''society'' says this is life and we agree with the same people doent do anything to help us..........


BUT i come to tell you if that Uzziah doesn't die or you don't kill it  or put GOD first! The most important part of you will be condemned and lost with no direction .......your SOUl


I need you to be able to see GOD for being the reason you have a good Job, money, cars, etc.... but that's just the beginning when you see him for who he is all these things want matter but what will matter is you ''GODLY PURPOSE''


''REMOVE YOUR KING''

What God expects from you

Often Time we are caught up in this belief that all we have to do is go to church sing a song put a few dollars in the plate and that would be pleasing to GOD,








 Then we start believing that whenever we do something wrong if i just go to the Church I will be absolved,,











Yes God wants us to honor places of worship that are built unto him, he want us to fellowship with other Christians, worship with each other,











come together for the edification of his kingdom YES he wants that..  But he is much more interested inYOU personally then the Building.









 He wants to change you and refresh the relationship you should have with him. He wants you to be Intimate with him, to desire his presence to meditate on his words and carry out his tasks.....If you read your bible Thats why in the O.T he let the Tabernacle be destroyed by the Phillistines, he let Solomons Temple get destroyed by the Babylonians, And also the second temple  after the post-exile be destroyed by the Romans He wants you to realize its not about fancy Words, nice ''preacher voices''  its about your body he wants as a living sacrafice for him




 He is about builing a relationship with you, The lesson in the Old Testament in my view is ....


When your right with God you will get the blessing and the covenent


But when you sin against god the curses will come.


 If you know the stories you see that God was with them but they continued to do what they felt and then run back to God when it fails


''opportunist''



 ''When will they/you learn''




''THIS MOMENT''

Happy Birthday Blog

Today is my 30th Birthday Iam so excited to have made it to the 3rd decade of my life So when I see the 3rd or the number 3 it means THE NUMBER OF DIVINE PERFECTION. The Trinity consists of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. There are three qualities of the universe: Time, Space, and Matter. To exist (except for God), all three are required. Each quality consists of three elements. Therefore, we live in a trinity of trinities.


So in my 3rd (3) decade of my life I will be perfected, My purpose will be manifested in these years. Iam truly embrassing the fact of my Whole existance will be made perfect in a few years to come, What God wants from me! I have accepted the call, walking in the call, and now God is going to allow me to see my promise. So again I thank God For equipping me with a pupose that gives my life meaning, Joy, and I extend gratitude for breathing breathe into me and TRUSTING me with this task....... 

Thanks LANIERJ.......

Ministry? What are you doing it for........

I have seen many ministries, rather it be singing, dancing, preaching, etc.. Whatever the Ministry you were birthed with come to an end by ''selfish ambition''


James 3:16
''Wherever there is jealousy and rivalry, there is disorder and every kind of evil.''




Ministry- is The act of serving
So How can I serve when I'm looking for ''ME'' to be exalted and not ''GOD''


1st Peter 5:6
 So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.


Just because we see other ministries being exalted (lifted up) by God's Favor the human element in us wants to covet or have what they have. We see there names being called, being invited to minister, and sometime making a living off of what they do Just because they are in there ''season''  But we have no Idea what test/trials in Life they had to get that favor. but whatever it was God was pleased with them and blessed them.

Now when we use our Ministry for a catapult  to launch us to another level God will not honor you because of ''selfish ambition''

So I ask you this question

What are you doing ministry for?

If its to build ''YOU'' God will not bless it
If it's to Build ''GOD'' there a good chance of it happening. God wants to use you for his purpose!!!!!!!!


Dont go through life tring to get something from God spend it Giving back to him and his people... And Dont Covet another ministry because they are in an exalted state be humble and ..............WAIT UNTIL YOUR SEASON........ lanierJ....

What Man was called to Be (Take your Position)

What A man is

Men are called to: Lead

Since men have been structured to lead, they are empowered to be in control of every situation with the Word of God being there measuring tool. People lead in so many ways, however the way God has design man to lead is unique and attainable. If men are not God Chasers then there will always be a page missing in men’s life that will render incompleteness until he summons God for direction.

Men are the principle: Provider


It is vitally important that every man provide for himself and for his family. Men are the number one bread winners of the home. He is in harms way of jeopardizing the family security, wealth, and health by not being responsible in this arena. Providing for his families present and future is one of the sure signs of a man taking his rightful place in the home. Providing is his very essence for existence as a man.


Whatever it takes for the family to survive, the man will find a way. Because God has designed the man to provide, he will lead the man to places he need to go to find provision for his family. Man must be responsible enough to move when provision is identified. He must act in a way that that will always portray his ultimate responsibility, that being the provider.


When men are not providers for the home, the home become unsecured, insecure, and incomplete. The Home is in jeopardy of being torn by unnecessary pressure, and unreasonable oppression. This is due to the fact, that the head is not in position but is out of position.

Men are called to be: Mentors


Men are called to be mentors to other men, and young boys, by nurturing them to maturity. The Youth of today is without question living in a shortage of good fatherly mentoring. The many mistakes we made as a child should not be implemented over again in our children’s lives. The best teachers are not the experience, but the instruction we put before them. When there are no mentors, then every child is being subjected to destruction without instruction. Give them the chance of a lifetime by spending time with them, in the Word of God, at there school teaching them a trade, bringing the best out of them, empower them to excel far above there greatest dreams. Men who mentor there children are setting them up for success.

Men are designed to be a: Visionary

When every man seeks the face of God, he is sure to receive vision (insight) for the present and future. Since God has ordained families and desire those families to be furnished and complete. For this to happen, men must be concern about direction, whether new or revamp, they must hear from God for the families’ next assignment. Remember what every man should be looking after seeking him, is for God’s hand in the matter.

Men are called to be the Covering:
Men are to be the covering for the family, He is responsible for protecting and shielding them from hurt, harm and danger, He must assume all responsibilities as the amour bearer. He is that spiritual support to the family when circumstances appear without immediate answers. The man becomes a covering of support, comfort and inspiration. This can only occur when the man is submissive to the will of God. The woman should without reservation look for protection through his godly instruction.


As a Man, how can you improve your leadership traits, especially when guiding a family.
