Remember

I remember that I am a manifestation of the Universe. I am able to activate change by spoken word and the spark of thought. God Has Blessed Us! I wish prosperity and health to all my friends and family. I have the ability to move mountains because I know and believe I can. God is Awesome and so are YOU!

A Favor For My Favor

WOW!!! A few days ago I experienced something that just left me saying WOW!!!

Let me get right to it. I created a group called "Gods Vision" on the Illinois State Black Colleagues Association site. One of the group members had a powerful experience. She has high blood pressure and has been on medication for some time now. She has been praying and working out, she made a trip to her doctor and he informed her that what ever she had been doing (praying and working out) has improved her health and he can remove her from some of the medication she is on. God is Great!!!

I was inspired by her experience and made a decision to stop smoking. I believe that when I take one step towards God he will take two steps towards me. I go to an event that same night and have a few drinks and I'm buzzing and usually when that happens I want a cigarrette. I am on my way home basically struggling with a decision. Should I buy a pack of cigarettes or should I just go home.

I rationalize that I will go to this gas station that has these butter cookies I like and buy my final pack of cigarettes. So I get to the gas station and grab two packages of cookies and ask for a pack of cigarettes. I hand the cashier my card and he swipes it..as he is doing that I place the cookies in my pocket and wait to sign my receipt. The cashier yells out that my card did not work and I say.."Lets try debit"...I punch in my code and it still comes back rejected. At this point I'm wondering what is going on.

I go home and try to check my balance online and I cant. I call customer service to hear my balance. As I am listening to the automated service I get even more frustrated because right when it says "Your balance is"...it drops the call...so I never hear the number. So finally I call to speak to a live person. Finally somebody picks up and the first thing I ask is if there is something wrong with their system.

He immediately says yes and is confused because it has never happened before. He apologizes for the inconvenience and asks that I got to a ATM to see if my card is working. He holds the line I make it to an ATM and it works.

Now here is the amazing part...The entire system shut down at the same moment I was trying to purchase my cigarettes. Now I know some of you are like "yeah right"...seriously I knew something like that would happen...but I did not believe it enough. I believe even more now.

I mean lets think about this....an entire system where people access their money was shut down for at least 20 minutes....

I took a step towards God when I said I would stop smoking...and he did a favor for my favor when he shut the system down....God Is Great!!!

WOW!!!!

Mark 10:27 (New International Version) 27Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."

Stay Focused, Positive and Productive

Precise

Don't Fight The Feeling

On this spiritual journey I have discovered many things about myself that force me to take notice of my state of mind. When taking full assessment of myself and understanding what it means to have an ego and how that can take a hold of me, I begin to understand why I take so many things personally. The truth of the matter is I don't have to take anything personally. My ego provides me with a false sense of self. It hungers for a position of separation and provides my mind with the idea of the reality that it desires.

There are many of those among us who make great strides and accomplish great things. This fact must not loose sight of the reality that anything accomplished by any person is not isolated from our experience and the reality that we create. We see things as we want to see them. Our lives come from the most preeminent thoughts that we carry and the results are born from that.

Now is the time to diminish or rather eradicate our egos. The ego in its own selfishness keeps us from experiencing our oneness with the universe, with God.

I'm working on this and what I have found is that it starts with forgiveness. No matter what type of wrong that someone has done to you (you actually attract it to you), you have to forgive in order to truly be free. In that forgiveness you release resentment and hurt and find the place where you can access the feelings of happiness and joy that are embedded in your core.

Feelings of happiness and joy mixed with faith will always fulfill your desires and affect the universe in a positive manner. It starts with you and how you feel. How do you feel?

Power Thoughts

I was thinking about doing this blog thing the way everybody else does...you know...post some cool videos and music...be "in the know"...but I decided against that. I'm approaching this from a real place.

Recently I have been experiencing some growth with respect to who I am and what it means to be a thirty something year old brother with goals and aspirations. I've picked up a few books .." A New Earth"by Ekhart Tolle...The Power Of Now by Ekhart Tolle...Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill..."The Wisdom of Florence Scovel Shinn by Florence Scovel Schinn and I just finished reading "Alter Your Life" by Emmet Fox.

All of this reading was sparked by my introduction to "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne. I also saw Abraham Speaks by Ester Hicks...you gotta be ready for that one. At any rate...here is where I am with this...I know and believe that we are connected to the source..that source being God. Our words construct our reality and the only real important moment in our lives is now. Mixing feelings with our faith fulfills our desires. We have the power to do anything we want and truly the only thing that can hinder you is you.

My eyes open when I realize how much accountability we truly have. Where we are now is based on the condition of our consciousness now.

My desire was to kick it off like this. Keep those words Positive and Uplifiting. Control those emotions. Your world will flourish because of it.

Leave me some thoughts.
