What Kind of Woman are You?

Image
Sis, don’t have your man out here looking like a fool for loving you.   I know you have been watched tons of advice videos and read many posts on social media about the kind of man to choose, but few people warn you about the kind of woman you should be. The first thing you need to do is Become a Praying Woman, then Put your unruly tongue a bay, next study Proverbs 31 and be the kind of woman a good man needs in his corner. And if you don’t think, he’s a good man, walk away. If you don’t respect him, what the point?    There is no power in going off because you are in your feelings or just plain mean and evil. If you are not willing to be his peace leave him alone. If you are jealous out of your mind move on. If you don’t have the spirit to be led move out of the way so he can find a woman whom he can grow with and the two can draw one another closer to God. Don’t think you can re-raise him, if you don’t like him really and he doesn’t sit well with you, you don’t really like him, s

We know the problem well. What do we do about it?

  How can we SOLVE violence in Chicago? Let's examine a map of Chicago to see where all the killing is happening. Next, let's determine who the alderman is. What kind of tasks do they perform in their ward? The precinct captions are Who? Who are the home and property owners in these areas? Who leases their real estate? What was the selection procedure? How frequently do they inspect their buildings? Next, what schools are in the area? Who are the administrators of those schools? Does each school have a behavior management team? What are their roles and responsibilities? What continuous and comprehensive training do they need? What resources and training in restorative justice and de-escalation can we provide for the teachers? How can we give control of the school's classrooms and hallways back to the adults? Also, where are the churches in those neighborhoods? Who are the ministers? What services do they offer in the community? What have they done in these neighborhoods

My "Dear Mama" Thoughts

  I watched it, and these are my thoughts, but you might not like them. It reminded me of the late-night pharmaceutical commercials telling me how bad a particular drug is for me but telling me with a beautiful smile, a field of pretty flowers, and good music. The documentary was put together well, and the artwork was amazing. It was well-written and directed nicely. However, I hate to see generations make the same mistakes repeatedly. The message was relevant, and he didn't lie about the problems. However, any potentially viable solutions were mistaken because of the package in which it was paraded. We cannot continue to mix unrighteousness with truth; that is how the enemy operates. Because of his packaging, the message was twisted in the minds of the youth. God could not use this demonstration to move the youth in an honorable direction because of how the message for redemption was presented. All the people whose prefrontal cortex was not developed at that time saw or heard

Surviving "Delilah" and "Amnon"

Matthew 17:21 “ Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. ” A Message for our Sons and Daughters Matthew 17:21 : "Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." Both males and females choose the handsome guy and the beautiful girl to date.  Humans tend to overlook people of the opposite gender who might not be the most good-looking.  I hear young people talk a lot about "my type." We ignore someone because they may not be pretty on the outside, but they might be beautiful inside. Remember, Jesus was described as lacking comeliness. "For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him," Isaiah 53:2 . While Satan was often considered handsome because it was easy for him to disguise himself as an angel of light, "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."

How do we worship in spirit and truth?

John 4:24 “ God  is  a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship  him  in spirit and in truth. ” How do we worship God in Spirit and truth? The answer to this question is often presented as a mystery. However, there is nothing mysterious about God nor what he requires us to do. We worship HIM in truth by keeping his commandments; walking in truth is as simple as that. We worship HIM in Spirit by allowing the commandments we keep to change our minds and heart and improve our behavior. The Messiah said in the book of Matthew 22:37-40 the two greatest commandments that Moses first announced in Exodus 20:1-17 were to love God with all our hearts, soul, and might, and then to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. The second greatest commandments were said to be of equal value.    In John. 14:15, he said, "If ye love me, keep my commandments. Verse 21 tells us the benefit, "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth m
