Sometimes in life it may seem like you have too much on your plate BUT GOD will always provide the utensils you need to get the job done. 🍴 Motivational words from me and my boy Davyon #BelieveInTheBand
Good day Beezy Believer!
Here are some key points I learned from Church that I believe can help you in your life: “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.” Matthew 5:14-16

Respectfully, Mike Beezy “All things are possible, if you believe”- Mark 9:23 Not only do we long to be great, we also desire to be recognized as being great. No player on the winning NBA Championship team ever turns down his ring. He claims it and wears it so that everyone will know what he did. In fact, there are men who won the Championship twenty years ago who will still wear their rings. Even though so much time has passed, they wear it because they want others to know that they are great.
In fact, so strong is a man’s desire for greatness that he will often attempt to experience it through someone else. A common way you see this is when a man shows up in a jersey with another man’s name on it. Whether we feel comfortable enough to admit it in spiritual circles or not, men want to be great. I’ll admit it, I don’t mind - I want to be great. And if you were brutally honest, I would bet that you also want to be great. But what may surprise you, and what I would like to suggest to you, is that far from what we often hear in connection with the biblical teaching on servanthood and humility is that God wants you to be great as well. Not only does God want you to be great in His kingdom, He has destined you for it. Greatness is maximizing your potential for the glory of God and the good of others. Paul urges fellow believers to “excel still more” in how they fleshed out obedience to God’s commands in their lives. To the Corinthians, he urged them to be “always abounding in the work of the Lord.” He encouraged them to seek greatness and in all they did, according to 1 Corinthians 10:31, is to be done to glorify God and make His name great. Men, I want you to experience this truth badly. Hear me when I say this - it is okay to want greatness. That is not something that you have to mumble when no one is listening, or check at the church house door. It may seem to fly in the face of what you have heard as a call to be meek, humble, and a servant of all, but authentic greatness never negates any of those. In fact, authentic greatness includes the true definition of all of them. According to ESPN, the Cleveland Cavaliers have signed forward JaCorey Williams, Cavaliers General Manager Koby Altman announced on Tuesday from Cleveland Clinic Courts. Williams (6-8, 220) played for Middle Tennessee State last season where he was the Conference USA Player of the Year after averaging 17.3 points on .533 shooting from the field and 7.3 rebounds in 36 games. Prior to that, he spent three years at the University of Arkansas. Williams went undrafted in this year’s draft and competed in four games for Golden State in the MGM Resorts NBA Summer League 2017. The Cavaliers’ roster now stands at 20 players. I Am All Around You, hovering over you even as you seek My Face. I am nearer than you dare believe, closer than the air you breathe. If My children could only recognize My Presence they would never feel lonely again. I know every thought before you think it, every word before you speak it. My Presence impinges on your innermost being. Can you see the absurdity of trying to hide anything from Me? You can easily deceive other people, and even yourself; but I read you like an open, large-print book.
Deep within themselves, most people have some awareness of My imminent Presence. Many people run from Me and vehemently deny My existence, because My closeness terrifies them. But My own children have nothing to fear, for I have cleansed them by My blood and clothed them in My righteousness. Be blessed by My intimate nearness. Since I live in you, let Me also live through you, shining My light into the darkness. O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord. - Psalm 139:1-4 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ. - Ephesians 2:13 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. - 2 Corinthians 5:21 Worship Me in the beauty of holiness. I created beauty to declare the existence of My holy Being. A magnificent rose, a hauntingly glorious sunset, oceanic splendor - all these things were meant to proclaim My Presence in the world. Most people rush past these proclamations without giving them a second thought. Some people use beauty, especially feminine loveliness, to sell their products.
How precious are My children who are awed by nature's beauty; this opens them up to My holy Presence. Even before you knew Me personally, you responded to My creation with wonder. This is a gift, and it carries responsibility with it. Declare My glorious Being on the world. The whole earth is full of My radiant beauty - My Glory! Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. - Psalm 29:2 NKJV And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory." - Isaiah 6:3 COME TO ME CONTINUALLY. I am meant to be the Center of your consciousness, the Anchor of your soul. Your mind will wander from Me, but the question is how far you allow it to wander. An anchor on a short rope lets a boat drift only slightly before the taut line tugs the boat back toward the center. Similarly, as you drift away from Me, My Spirit within you gives a tug, prompting you to return to Me. As you become increasingly attuned to My Presence, the length of rope on your soul's Anchor is shortened. You wander only a short distance before feeling that inner tug - telling you to return your true Center to Me.
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. - Hebrews 6:19 And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming. - 1 John 2:28 Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'" - Matthew 22:37 Let My Love seep into the inner recesses of your being. Do not close off any part of yourself from Me. I know you inside and out, so do not try to present a "cleaned-up" self to Me. Wounds that you shut away from the Light of My Love will fester and become wormy. Secret sins that you "hide" from Me can split off and develop lives of their own, controlling you without you realizing it.
Open yourself fully to My transforming Presence. Let My brilliant Love-Light search out and destroy hidden fears. This process requires time alone with Me, as My Love soaks into your innermost being. Enjoy My perfect Love, which expels every trace of fear. O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord... Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. - Psalm 139:1-4, 23-24 There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love's complete perfection]. - 1 John 4:18 |
