My "Ation" poem...

Procrastination on God's word is an abomination to a nation that is filled with discrimination, irritation, aggravation and lacks revelation. We need some navigation. Some concentration, on what causes motivation. What's the fascination with things that lead to death making the younger generation enjoy the presentation of things that are harmful to them. I think all Christians need to take a vacation away from the "world," and enjoy some time in the WORD--now that's some good education. The graduation from the WORLD to the WORD causes one's dilapidation or should I say disintegration to ooze out in their perspiration and suddenly their concentration is focused on the RIGHT sensation. The sensation only God can give you once you amp up your acceleration trying to get to the LIGHT as fast as a race car pulling up to a pit-stop station. Will this get some vibrations moving in the Christian community? Or will there be a mass regurgitation of this "Word bacteria" like there's some kind of Holy immunity? Face up to it, you need some preparation for the RE-coronation of our King Jesus. What you set your fascinations on, whether it's God or your favorite celebrity, is an indication of your destination...choose wisely. Bind procrastination, and focus on salvation.

You can't handle the truth..!!

I've found myself keeping it "real" with people lately. But now I'm seen as someone who is judgmental and thinks I'm better than everyone. Really?? So...would you rather me agree with you and your wrongdoings when me, as Christian, is trying to spit knowledge to you and open your eyes? When I tell you you're wrong for something and try to help you to change it, why would you get so offended? Because you know IT IS wrong but you don't want to stop living in sin? Because you know that what you're doing isn't for the glory of God? When you sin who are you serving? WHO wants you to sin? (The devil)--EXACTLY!! WHY justify your sin?? WHY make excuses? You're only hurting yourself in the end!

Proverbs 14:12-14 "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness." Proverbs 15: 10 "Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die." Romans 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of the mind that ye may prove what is good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." James 4:4 "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God."

There are so many more CONVICTING scriptures man, if some of yall would just OPEN your heart and listen to what God is telling you! Man, God turned His back on His ONLY son because of SIN! Jesus suffered for my OUR sins! So we can be here TODAY and LIVE a life righteous and worthy of the gospel! And all I'm trying to do is tell my fellow brothers and sisters that some of the things you are doing.. is showing God that you hate Him. And it breaks His heart, it breaks my heart! Christianity is a brotherhood! I Peter 2:17 "Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king." When you get mad and begin to put me down, talk bad about me...it does hurt because I care about you and want to see YOU in heaven, but you are too busy wrapped in your own sin and lies that you can't even respect the Gospel..or give God the love He deserves.

Jesus is at your door right now. He wants you to open it and let him in! As I was downtown with a few of my friends last week, I walked past this alley and that's what this reminds of. A time in my life when I had my door shut, locked, bolted etc. I knew Jesus was outside, but man I was too busy inside enjoying the lusts of the world. Getting high, drunk, fornicating, lying, shacking up, disrespecting my parents...and the list goes on. But man, I stand before everyone TODAY, CHANGED! I am a testimony right now. God can change you if you let him! You can break away from the chains of sin. But it starts with giving your life to Him, letting go of sin, and getting into the Word of God. I Peter 1:14 "As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance." It requires a change of lifestyle, old habits, and renewing your mindset. And it's not easy! I'll be the first to tell you that. But it can be done. Everyday I strive to become a better Christian, and everyday I grow more in love with Him! He's the only man who has ever died for me! He's my OUR hero! Jesus has already shed his blood for the world man. He's already saved me, but now, you have to let Him save you.


With Love ❤ ,

P4CM-Passion 4 Christ Movement

For those of you who are into spoken word, I suggest you check out this ministry. I came across this video last night as I was watching some of my favorite videos from their older spoken word events. The others below are a few of my favorite that I wanted to share. All have strong, deep meanings.



"Christ did his job fully, and he proved he was God when he died on the cross like it was his duty. And to pardon my iniquities that I committed rudely. He resurrected from the grave just to tell death to excuse me. But excuse me this is your life & that's something I cant impose on. But your body is God's home which was a loan to get foreclosed on. See an ALMOST Christian looks right but lives wrong."






"Silent testimonies never saved souls, yet our testimonies lay low, and we wonder why the world is raised in Hell? Because a lot of Christians are too worried about other people's opinions and too busy tryna saved themselves."






"I was tryna be a better person, stop clubbin, stop drinkin, stop cursin, cut friends, cuz of greed stopped working, but stopping things don't rip the seed of the serpent."

It's just emotions

Emotion: an affective state of consciousness in which joy, sorrow, fear, hate, or the like, is experienced, as distinguished from cognitive and volitional states of consciousness. (Dictionary.com)

True enough, God gave us emotions... for us to feel the enjoyment of his wonders. But once you get away from God and His word, that's when the enemy is able to attack! I recently had this experience. You get so wrapped up in what's "going on" you start feeling like you don't want to read the Bible, pray, etc. It's all a tactic the enemy uses to distract you! That's when he's able to come in and use your emotions to his advantage and hurt you, make you depressed, angry, sad--all that! And when you act off of emotions... you do things, say things and act in ways that you will regret later on. It's about having a mindset of walking in love. Moreover, check your heart! You can say "I walk in love," and what shows on the outside may display that, but your mind could be the devil's playground. You may subconsciously be wishing someone the worse.

Mark 14:32-35 shows how even Jesus was attacked through his emotions, and what Jesus did to overcome those emotions and manage to get on the cross, die, and go to Hell for OUR sins. So what did Jesus do? Mark 14:35 "And he went forward a little, and fell onto the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him." Just moving forward A LITTLE makes a difference.

Smile a little, laugh a little, praise a little, moving forward a little...just don't go backwards! And focusing on God...man oh man... how quickly He will bring you back to a sense of peace. There is nothing like the agape love of God... that unconditional, through thick and thin love.

Forgive and Forget Let it go

Matthew 6:14 - For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

Forgiving someone is a hard thing to do, depending on what a person did. It's a process. You have to face the issue. Figure out why it happened (if there's a REAL reason why it took place). And ultimately... forget it. But when I say "forget it" I don't mean completely erase it out of your memory...sometimes that's impossible. But just simply let it go. My friend Phil told me if you have a problem forgiving someone, ask God to give you the grace to do so.

So how do you know when you've forgiven a person? A) When you think about the person it doesn't even bother you. B) If you don't even think about what happened anymore. Letting stuff go is also good for your health. You won't stress about it, or waste PRECIOUS time dwelling on the negative. Forgiving is a sign of growth and maturity.

My pastor--Creflo Dollar-- said something very clever. "Forgiveness is not conditional. It's like love, it must be unconditional. Otherwise, it would be called for-sale." Moreover, when you pray, do you think God hears you when you are still holding anger towards someone. If you can't forgive someone for what they did, why should He forgive you of your sins--let alone listen when you pray. Holding strife in your heart only blocks your blessings. Free yourself! It's okay to be mad, upset, sad about it for a MINUTE, but DO NOT dwell on it. Walk in love and forgiveness, and God will take care of the rest.

As the saying goes... "let go and let God." I Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
