the be honest meme.

13. Have you ever thought about leaving rp? What caused it? What changed your mind?I actually did leave RP for a while. I’d had my gingerfiddles blog for Eric for quite some time and only a couple of people really engaged with me on it. I had lost my spark a little and the person I wrote with most was fine with moving to google docs, so I figured I’d just go ahead and delete the blog rather than let it sit vacant on an unending hiatus. I still watched a few people in the verse from afar, but when I saw @aarontwds writing, it really inspired me to bring Eric back. I’m so glad I did. 

14. Do you think rp has had a positive or negative affect on your life or you as a person?Overall, positive. It’s given me an avenue to stretch my creative legs and give life to a character who, let’s be honest, got the short end of the stick. It’s also given me a chance to get to know some really amazing people. Over the years, there have been a few experiences and exchanges that haven’t been so positive, but you learn and you grow and you try to be a better person. 

26. How do you feel about vague posting?Is it vague to say I’m ambivalent about it? I think people need an avenue to vent their frustrations without actually calling someone out by name. I’ve done that in the past myself, but realized that it only creates more issues, so if I’m feeling upset about something, I try not to post anything at all. I have no judgement for anyone who does vague posts as a means to vent, or whatever other reasons they might have, but I would caution others to just be mindful of what you say when you’re upset.

Apostle Chronicles: Who are You?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Every day, week, month, I hear in my spirit, YOU MUST KNOW WHOM YOU ARE.

I think we run from whom God wants us to be in order to be comfortable in where we are. Human beings don't want to do anything that would cause them pain, but if the LORD SAYS endure until the end..ENDURE MEANS SOME TYPE OF PAIN.

Matthew 24:13King James Version (KJV)...  13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

So who are we?  Someone said to me a week ago that God doesn't keep punishing us for the same things over and over. No, but you must pass the test from what you learned, right?

Galatians 6:7-9New King James Version (NKJV)  7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

John 14:26New King James Version (NKJV)  26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

IF YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE YOU KNOW THAT GOD WON'T PUNISH YOU IF YOU OBEY WHAT YOU'RE TOLD TO DO..  Deuteronomy 28

We can't even teeter the line ever so slightly.

Apostle Chronicles: The 1st Day of the Rest of My Life

There is a new story, a new testimony being written in the spirit realm right now about my life. I can’t explain it all, but I can say this, when you ask God for a question believe me he will answer. 

Today is the 1st day of the rest of my life that GOD INTENDED FOR ME had I not made the wrong choices. Things are in right order. 

Stay turned.

Apostle Chronicles: Dissecting the Word

This is really brief and I pray you all look at this with how the LORD GIVES IT. If you keep dissecting the word of God you will feelings and not instructions. The word says to study to show thyself approved. that means you better know that you know and not feel that you know. 

If God is the author and finisher of our faith, there is no reason to fight a fleshly battle of what the word says. Something I have learned today is release what the spirit of God gives you to release and then leave people to their devices. We can’t be men and women of God HELL BENT on proving a point, when that is not what God said or what JESUS DID. What I mean by HELL BENT, is the enemy will use the word to detour us from our assignments by contemplating the word when the focus should be the assignment. Remember what the devil did to Eve; satan said just enough to have her doubt the instructions and through her off course. 

Don’t let the enemy use you in any way.

The Apostle Chronicles: Extensions

When God gives you a scripture to help you be what He has called you to be, you read, study, meditate, and move. That was me this morning when God gave me Isaiah 58:10 

Isaiah 58:10 If you extend your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light shall dawn in the darkness and your darkness shall be as the noonday.

Whom are you extending yourself to today? What are you doing to help others in where they are right now? The purpose of your life is far greater than just going to work, preaching at church, and then dying. What if you go all the way to the rapture, and you find that you have not done 1/2 of what God intended for you to do because you were fearful to extend yourself to others? 

What you decide to do will establish extensions across globe; you will set forth all that is necessary not only for yourself but also for others. Extending yourself within the capacity that God has given is allowing others to see GOD IN YOU, and realizing they need GOD in them. 

Are you ready to stretched? To be extended beyond your mind right now? 

Let’s go.

Today in Amos: Part I

God had me reading the book of Amos and Psalms 11-13. It was lesson I needed and God said SHARE.

The Lord told Amos that He was coming with judgment to all for the peoples transgressions.

A transgression is: transgression noun: an act that goes against a law, rule, or code of conduct; an offense.

In Amos, the Lord said for THREE TRANSGRESSIONS OF....AND for four.. this basically means they kept sinning; OVER AND OVER AND OVER.

IT IS TIME TO GET RIGHT AND REPENT. When you go against the commands of God you are in trouble. When you think you can do this by yourself you are in trouble. The Bible tells us to lean NOT on our OWN understanding. This means we must be lean on GOD ONLY.

So much of what is going on in our world today is reflected in the book of Amos and Psalm 11-13. (read these Pslams; study them; get on point for your own lives right now)

The Queen You’re Called to BE!

In the past 24 hours, God has had me reading quite a bit to help me on the next level that has been offered to me. This morning I read Esther and Ruth in that order. 

In a nutshell, Esther and Ruth have some GRAND similarities. It took me to read through the end of Ruth to understand why God had me to read them both at this point in my life. God is preparing me for the KING, He has planned for me all along. 

There are times as the #BAD Queen at heart, that I forget preparation must take place. Where Esther was a virgin that was prepared for a year with other virgins and Ruth worked in the field, both obtained favor from great and wealthy men. Both men were honorable and held to their word that they spoke. Both men found the women to be beautiful in their own rite. Esther in her beauty and sweetness; Ruth in loyalty to her mother in law and her willingness to work for her house.  Both were humble women which I’m sure gave them favor as well. 

God is calling us that have been married, or never been married to get prepared to be the Queens we were called to be. 

Here is a list of other similarities I took note of today : 

RUTH

Moabite

Widow

Honored her mother in law

Humble

listened as instructed (from Naomi) 

Favor with Boaz

Boaz did what was honorable towards her

Married Boaz

Mother to the Davidic Lineage

Esther

Jewish

Never married (a virgin taken)

Humble

Listened as instructed (by Mordecai)

Fover with the king

Became Queen

King granted her petitions an did what was honorable (held out his scepter as well)

Saved her people
