The L Word

It's something that most seek after earnestly from our fellow humans.

 Sadly it has now become a cheap word used a key moments when you want to get something out of a Women or Man. 

This particular word has faded from the minds of people in regards to it's  true origin, which is God.

 Love is something of a divine feeling towards others not just physically but, concern for the persons being spiritually.

Watch Ya Head

Nowadays people are doing there best to obtain success in any form or fashion. From Video blogging to recording their game play on their favorite game. Whatever the media to obtaining success, the most important is to continually develop your mindset. You ask what do I mean? In order to become successful you must change your habits, because habits then form character which thus defines you.
How I came about this knowledge was from reading a lot of books and success mags.

Sadly many people are looking to obtain success with the same stinking mindset as before, which then leads to a quick road of failures and disappointments. The Second thing to focus on is your why? Why do you want to successful? What defines success to you? Answering these questions can then lead down the pathway of untapped potential.

Lastly goals are the next thing to focus on. How do you get to where your why is, what is the fastest method to getting their

1 John 5:12-14

Root Word: The Son
Greek:Abiyshalom (ab-ee-shaw-lome)
Meaning: Father of Peace

Root Word: Life
Greek: Yachiyd (yaw-kheed)
Meaning:United, that is, sole

1 John 5:12
He that hath the Father of Peace hath United with him; and he that hath not he Father of Peace has not united with him.

Here in the text it says that one must have the son. The son is Abiyshaolm: The Father of Peace. Therfeore Christ is the bringer of peace, seeing he has brought us unto God through mediation. Before God came down as Christ we as Man had no way to please God. Therfore through the Obeidience of Christ death on the Cross man now has the opportunity to have a relationship with the Author of our lives.

 There a many deffinitons of Love in the Greek, yet this one stood out Yachiyd- to be united! To have the Father of Peace in our lives and then to be United to God! Therefore in order to truly live is not what most people would define as being able to do whatever you like and enjoy your life. Nor is it to BMF-Blow Money Fast or have the lastest and greatest and hottest women etc. YET TO TRULY LIVE MEANS TO BE UNITED TO GOD, YACHIYD!

Application: This text then states that he who follows Christ has peace and is TRULY LIVING; and he who does not follow Christ is without peace and is NOT living.

1 John 5:13

Root Word:Eternal
Greek: Aidios (ah-id-ee-os)
Meaning: Everduring or everlasting

Root Word: Life
Greek:Yahciyd (yah-kheed)
Meaning: To be United, that is, sole

1 John 5:13
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that you may know that you have been everlastingly united and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God.

The Word Eternal or Aidios is to mean Everlasting. Therefore with this deffintion we are to last for ever in the presence of our God. AMEN!

Now as we last forever in God's presence we are also Yahciyd- United to God as well. So not only are we forever in his presence but we are United with him in Love, peace, grace, and mercy, forever and ever Amen!

Aplication: This text is a statement given by the author to make clear his purpose for writing. And he has written this text so that we as Believers may know what we already have-"That ye have eternal life". Thus to inform us that we are and will always be United unto God and if we so choose to continue to follow him and his precepts that it will be Aidios or Eternal or Everlasting! 

Ignorance Lives!

Our songs reflect who we wish to be

We glorify our sin you see!

Rims and Tims, hoes and Gems

Our lives are defined by things my friend.

Were without a soul so come dance and move

To deceive you our goal you can’t pick nor choose.

So we live for sex and money too

Death awaits us all so let’s play.

Close your eyes and face life blind!

Let naysayers preach, pay them no mind!

Our end comes with haste, less time to waste.

Yet the party in this place is worth the disgrace!

Be ignorant without fear and walk with foolish pride!

Enjoy life now and cry about it later.

Will all answer for our sins, I’ll pay for it later.

Brand New Part 3 *A Study of Colossians*

Brand New Part

Colossians 3:3

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

Now we are on to our next study. At first glance this verse is pretty clear on what it is stating. That our lives are no longer ours once we trust and believe that God is our creator and that Christ Jesus is his son who he sent down from above (heaven). Who died and then in 3 days time rose again so that we might have a relationship with the creator and author of our lives. When we make this decree to live by him and for him our agendas, ideas, and old passions are all given to him and he then guides us; using those same ingredients for his glory.

Let's say now that our lives (that being our everyday routine and goals) should be hidden. What you suppose that means? Well Firstly let me not jump the gun. Let us inquire first what it would mean to be Dead. From our knowledge, something that is Dead has ceased life; no longer among us. So now in our everyday language for something to be Dead is not something that we would embrace with joy, yet sorrow and anger. So how so has God made this word that of a joyous one? Let's find out what Dead means in this context.

Key Word: Dead

Greek: Anastasis (an-as'-tas-is)

Meaning: a standing up again, a resurrection

Wow that is very interesting! So in this text to be Dead means to be Resurrected! So now we know that we are Resurrected and our life is hidden. What does life mean in this text?

Well life to us can be living and breathing; but I love how Webster defined it in one of its many variations.

Webster: Life~ a manner of living; conduct; deportment, in regard to morals.

Now take some time and think about that.

God is not talking about our life as in physical yet the concept of our Morals & Conduct. He wants us to wrap ourselves in him. Our behavior should be engulfed in him, our speech, our thoughts, our desires should be found in him. So Webster defined life as such but what does it mean in this text. Let us go to the strong’s shall we?

Key Word: Life

Greek: Biotikos (bee-o-tee-kos')

Meaning: relating to the present existence

So now we see that our life is just more than our physical, but our entire being should be covered or hid in Christ! Wow what a powerful statement folks. Our entire being ~ existence, should be hid within him. Now on to the next word.  Hid; what does this mean to hide? Are we being kept away from something? Is he shielding us from someone? Why are we hiding Lord and not boldly out and about? Let us discover what this word Hid mean.

Key Word: Hid

Greek: Egkrupto (eng-kroop'-to)

Meaning: to conceal in, that is, incorporate with

So we are concealed in Christ who is in God! We are incorporated with him; we belong to him and represent him from now on. Hence why our lives are no longer ours folks but his. His Brand is on our souls, and if we live according to his precepts then all can tell which manufacture we came from. So now that we have broken down each key term let us now put it into a re written verse.

Colossians 3:3

For ye are Resurrected and your Existence is Concealed with Christ in God.

Application:

We who are believers and have trusted Christ as our Lord and savior are mad new, brought back to life; our total being is to be concealed in Christ who is of God and is God. Amen and Amen!

NEVER FORGET

Ever wonder why we go through things? I often wonder not just why, but how?

How do we find ourselves in such crazy situations and how we get out of them?

My friend I come to tell you that many a time I could have and should of have been a lot of things. But my favorite phrase rings loud and true: BUT GOD!

For those of you who follow me on twitter can be a witness to the many times I have said this phrase; yet I wanted to write this again. Never forget what God has done! Many people take for granted the grace given to us by Christ Jesus. Yet just because grace is abound does not give us free will to sin and or act a fool, and then come back to God saying “God forgive me.”

It hurts me when I too am guilty of this very sin~ Compromise!

The things I watch, listen to, read and entertain all play its part in who we are and how effective we are as a tool of righteousness. I bring this to your attention for it was brought to mine by the vessel of another believer. Compromise is a grave & silent enemy. Often it snakes its way into our territory with our WILLING consent!

Men & Women of God we must remain our integrity and remove ourselves from compromise. Amen and Amen.

Brand New Part 2

Colossians 3:2
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

How often do we find ourselfs focusing on trivial things that occur, wether it be in our lives or in others? As much as we put that time, energy and effort to worry or inquire and/or fester over such small issues, we such more effort into getting to know more about what it is exactly God is calling us to do.

At first glance this verse application would be as follows.

Application:

Place you affection on those things which are in heaven, and not things of this world.

Basic application that should sum up what this verse is accomplishing. Yet lets break down the words to get an even greater understanding. Being lead by the spirit, certain key words standout to mean that stress need for further defining and therefore futher understanding of what this verse states.

Colossians 3:2
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Key Word: Set
Greek: Anstassomai (an-at-as'-som-ahee)
Meaning: to arrange, set in order

Key Word: Affection
Greek: Agape (ag-ah'-pay)
Meaning: love, that is, affection or benevolence

Key Word: Above
Greek: Epouranios (ep-oo-ran'-ee-os)
Meaning: above the sky: celestial or heavenly

Key Word: Things
Greek: Hapas (hap'as)
Meaning all or all things

Key Word: Earth
Greek: Epigeios (ep-ig'-i-os)
Meaning: wordly

Brand New!

God has place this scripture on my heart for he has been dealing with me with things of my walk and where I often place my focus. Often misplaced and not in the right place at times when it needs to be God has then called me to share this with you who might be like me ~ a Human who often loose focus and places our eyes on trivial things. So without further due let us proceed.

Colossians 3:1

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ Sitteth on the right hand of God.

Key Word: Risen

Webster defined: to be revived from death

Meaning: living in the state of our fleshly desires and agenda, is us walking in death. For if we walking not in the Spirit but in the flesh we are then walking in sin. Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Therefore we are called to rise with Christ from the dead shell that which we walk in.

To do so we must set our minds on the things of Christ by seeking them. What does it mean to seek, will shortly be defined.

Key Word: Seek

Greek: Epizeteo (ep-eed'-zay-teh'-o)

Meaning: to search (inquire) for' intensively to demand,

to crave.

So therefore as a believer (new or veteran) we are all required to crave those things that are of God. This is truly a hard thing to ask of us, for we live on this Earth where there are plenty of things that we "Crave" that please our eyes, taste and feel. Yet God said CRAVE ME and THE THINGS ABOUT ME!~ WOW!

Pray for my strength to crave those things which are of God as I do for you. Let us continue.

So we are called to Crave, those things which are Above; where might this above be located? Above the roof of our homes, in the sky or higher? Let us define this word.

Key Word: Above

Greek:Epouranios (ep-oo-ran'-ee-os)

Meaning: above the sky: celestial, heaven (-ly)

So now we see that God requires us to crave those things which are Heavenly;

any and all things that are in relation to the Godhead we must focus and CRAVE it for in doing so this will better improve our lives more abundantly than if we were to live on our own strength. That word should echo in your mind as it is doing mine, this word Crave is a strong decree. Websters defines it:

Crave: 2. To call for, as a gratification; to long for; to require or demand, as a passion or appetite; as, the stomach or appetite craves food.

I like how Webster mentioned: as the stomach or appetite craves food. Did not God say that man does not live by food alone but by the WORD of God? here to clarify even more so is the Greek understanding of the word Crave.

Key Word: Crave

Greek: Epipotheo (ep-ee-poth-eh'-o)

Meaning: to dote upon, that is, intensely crave possession

To intensely crave possession, that is, to be filled with, in our case, the Holy Spirit daily and to walk in the grace, mercy, love and peace thereof. WOW!

Application:

Colossians 3:1

If you then you are Revived in Christ Crave those things which are Heavenly.

Being a believer means that you are continually being renewed and called to rise above who you once were. Yet in this day and age it is often difficult to do what we know is right. When in times of struggle and your seeking for an escape then Seek or Crave those things where our Father resides. I pray that this blesses you as it has me and there is still more to come. Next Post is on Colossians 3:2. Till then stay prayed up and live the a victorious life in Jesus Christ!
