TheRay's Destiny

  I know.   I know.  It's been a long time and so many things have happened that I need to share with you.   There's really no excuse for my absence other than life really taking drastic changes and me trying to maneuver in it. (I'll write a post about that later)  I want to know how everyone's has been? What's up? (Drop the comments below)  However,  I am writing today about a word that I recieved and got the pressing matter to  share.   He said its for someone, "Just because you are laying low in your life right now, does not mean He has count you out"  God said, "So often people associate the posture of laying low with negativity, but that is the enemy's thought seed planting and never His intentions".  When we worship, we get low in spirit and physical, so why would that posture that God loves be wrong.  God said, "I have placed you in that position because when I elevate you, it will be only I that gets the ...

  I was about to write my Fruit of The Month post, but I had this message burdened on my heart to release to you today.  God loves you and He thinks you're just okay! I was watching this Instagram reel the other day and this pastor was speaking about how a person who smoked was telling him that he wanted to be saved.  He said, "I want to be saved, but I smoke. Do I have to give up smoking?"  The pastor replied, "No"  The man was confused, and he reiterated, "No, I don't think you understand. I smoke pot"  The pastor replied, "You said you wanted to be saved, right?"  The man answered yes and the pastor said great. The man still confused asked again.  "Should I stop smoking because I want to be saved?"  The pastor replied, "No. Just get saved"  Now, I must admit that when the pastor first responded I was confused.  I was like, "Of course, he needs to stop smoking"  But, then the pastor continued and then I und...

Photo by Timothy Eberly on Unsplash   I thought I didn't need saving.  I was moving fast, everything was happening at such a speed. Nothing was delaying. I thought I had it all figured out, A victim of what the enemy was portraying The devil made me feel like I didn't need anything or anyone. I was bad on my own, I was slaying The devil took me so far out to sea, no lifeline to phone home. I thought the waves were my friends, my supporters, my own. I thought I was going to make it to the top with my bags Carry every strife, and jealousy and count the rebukes as just lags But, I'm glad He never turned His back on me God held His hand hovering by my side, while He let me be. Gently guiding me until one day I'll be completely free He's a superhero, super in the very best of the word He not only saved me but the entire world. He's a savior, He rescues not only my body but my mind  He's a hero that comes right in time! ~J&M Remedies

 Matthew 5:8 "Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God"  Psalm 24:3-4 "Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully" Another year we have made it and with all the excitement of seeing another 12 chapters, we also must take into consideration that it is shortening the time of when Christ shall return.  We do not know the day nor the hour, but I am aware that the clock started the moment Jesus ascended into Heaven. Where am I going with all of this? Well, we know in the last days that many men (humankind) will become lovers of themselves. We also know that our hearts will begin to wax cold.  Take this as a simple reminder to remember to keep your heart from such things.  A reminder to stay pure in the heart. As we go on throughout this year let us remember to keep clean hands.  God still requires us to love one anot...

  Fair warning: I would not call names in this post because I respect both parties, but I feel as I give the example you may put two and two together in any way.  There's a popular gospel group that released a statement that they were cutting ties with one of their singers due to some reasons. These reasons were not disclosed. However, because of the world we live in and privacy being almost extinct, people have dug up what they presume to be the case of the split.  Now since this, there has been a great ordeal of people voicing their opinions on what grace and accountability are and I wanted to give my input as well.  Not because I want to be a part of this, but because I want to share light on what has been happening for a very long time.  The person who was cut from the group isn't the first person to ever be excluded from a church entity because of their inconsistency in their walk with Christ.  I am quite positive that they will not be the last.  ...

  Luke 23:42-43 "Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. Jesus answered him, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise" This scripture is personally one of my top favorite verses.  Maybe it's because of the representation of the thief and the illustration of God's love even down to His final breaths that wins me over every single time.  The display of His sufficient grace still reaches out to us even when the last bit of sand is pouring into the hourglass. The thief, the sinner; the one who had been condemned, but God gave him a second chance before he died. Oftentimes, we hear people say they got saved on their sick beds, or before they die they gave their lives to God.  I am no judge and I can not tell you if these people get into Heaven on these kinds of technicalities, but this story is a bit similar to it.  Now, I am not telling you to live your life full of sin in hopes to get Jesus when you are about to die an...

 

  Psalm 103:8 "The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in love" I often have moments in my life where I am scared that one day I'll finally lose my mind.  Mind battles are not a one-and-done situation, I've learned that.  It is a continued battle that tests your strength and willpower.  Because of this, I have sometimes pulled away, depressed, confused, and even guilt-stricken because why can I not get it together.  Sometimes, the voice in my head gets a bit louder than me. At first, it was the loudest but by God's help and my constant fight it is not anymore. However, there are times when it gets louder and I hear: "You aren't good enough"  "You always fail"  "Why do you even try"  "You're not even going anywhere"  I'm being very candid with you today in hopes that I am helping you who are reading this.  It's a moment in the heat of the battle of my mind. Just a second or a minute...
