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 ...

Make Worship A Lifestyle Again (MWALA) Let's Talk! As you know life is not easing up on us! If one thing ends, there is another thing coming. At this point, I think I am in some book that is drama filled and if I was reading it, it would have me at the edge of my seat.  But considering it's real life, it's not exciting, you know? However, that's not what I want to talk about. I know life is hard and I wish I can tell you something like it would get easier, but I don't want to give false expectations.  But, there has been something that has been helping me tremendously in the midst of the whirlwind called life.  Worship and prayer! I find that a good worship session or prayer session whether I am in my car or home or to work in the bathroom helps ease the worry and anxiety of my troubles.  Sometimes even in the middle of my breakdowns, I turned it into a session to glorify God.  So my question to you is, what do you do when life is a tornado of worries and anxiet...

Sometimes that's all my prayer has It's few words but their meaning surpass It's multifaceted, and it means a lot I can list a few to help you build the plot. Thank You for keeping me safe.  Every night I lay and every morning I rise with no harm. I drive, walk, run and I'm covered by Your arm Thank You for keeping me sane. My mind wage war, but Your peace wage serenity I can't even explain sometimes how in chaos I have tranquility. Thank You for keeping me in love. When the world is full of selfishness and hate, Your love, I see no shortage. I'm wrapped and dipped in love to the point of overage. It's this love that stretches from east to west.  It's this love that reaches deep into my low valley or even high as an eagle's nest.  Thank You for keeping me supported. Not only with You showing up but connecting me with others People that pray and encourage me, those ...

  I was laying down the other night and God begin to pour some knowledge.  Of course, what I assumed would be an early night was automatically shifted to a night of wisdom impartation.  He said " My sheep know my voice"  I didn't understand why the statement. I felt like it was so random, but then I begin to ponder on it a bit.  Oftentimes, we battle with the concept of knowing the difference of who is speaking in our heads.  Is it God? Is it me? Is it the devil? Many times I was asked the question of how to know God's voice.  I heard before that there are always three voices in our heads.  Ours, God's, and then the devil's.  Ours is often layered with doubt and negativity. If we are asked to do a task like pray for someone or give to another, our voice would often reply with doubt if that was really the instruction.  Basically, we would find a way to talk ourselves out of the task or nudge to do something clearly perceived as good....

  Hi!  Welcome back to our series on the Fruits of the Spirit! Today we're talking about Faithfulness.  Now, when we hear about faithfulness it's often referring to either God's commitment to us or someone's commitment to another.  And, in a way, we are correct about this assumption of this meaning.  When translated into its Greek form it is Pistis. It means truth or a conviction of truth.  Fidelity in Christ.  A reliable character The Google definition of Faithfulness describes it as the quality of being faithful, fidelity. Learning the definition of this word opened the fact that to be faithful may be definitely challenging for us.  It is the very opposite of our nature. As humans, we are very much finicky.  It's a reason that God's spirit doesn't thrive with man at all times. (Genesis 6:3) This fruit is definitely one of the hardest ones to bear at times. Even in physical relationships with our spouses or families, humans tend to struggle ...

1 Samuel 16:7 But the  Lord  said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The  Lord  does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance,  but the  Lord  looks at the heart.”   There has been a huge misinterpretation of the body of Christ.  I know I may have spoken about this before, or possibly touch on this but I am going to reiterate it once again.  There is a huge problem when it comes to the image of the body of Christ.  The tradition of having the image of someone who loves and does not judge, or being filled with the Holy Spirit. Even the image of being kind to others is just that, an image.  We, as the body of Christ, are becoming too desirous of the image of being perfect than our hearts being perfect.  We portray kindness once there are eyes on us, we don't judge when it is convenient for us and we love in a small amount of doses, but this i...

  Yes, you are reading right!  There's another fruit dropping this month and we are about to grab this too! I realized that I missed a month, so I would use this to catch up so that we can be on the right track. Today, we're talking about Goodness.  When I began to meditate on this message, I assume that it would be just the same as Kindness (Gentleness), but I realized that Goodness was different in so many ways.  When Kindness came with having compassion and adapting that into your nature, Goodness is the decision to do what is right . The definition states: *Goodness is the quality of being morally good or virtuous. Now, right there, there's not much to go off, so I had to dig deeper and God let the words 'morally' and 'virtuous' stick out.  So, in TheRay's fashion, I searched for the definition of those words also.  Moral (Morally): Concern with the principles of right and wrong behavior. Virtuous: Having or showing high moral standards . Romans 12:2...

  In the process of remaking some of my posts, I came across Consistency, Consistency, Consistency .  By the way, you can go ahead and check out the original before reading this one. 😊  ( https://theraydestiny.blogspot.com/2020/09/consistency-consistency-consistency.html) In the old version, I mentioned that when people are often given dreams or try to achieve their goals, they are often top-heavy.  Meaning, sometimes we can be so focused on the end goal that we don't pay attention to the journey that we have to take to get there. We don't consider the steps. I concluded in the old post that consistency is remembering why when you start to grow weary, distracted, or discourage.  But, in this post, I want to add something that I had learned since starting my blog. Some days I experience this fatigue of not wanting to write. Not because I don't have anything to say to you guys, but because even when we are walking on our journey, discouragement doesn't just go aw...
