How you doing?!

You know we are leaving 2009 and rapidly approaching 2010. For those who believe the holiday season is magical, loving, and reflective, think about something. This time, Christmas season, is also about restoration, forgiving, and fulfillment of a promise. Well, the number 10 Signifies allness or completeness in a physical way, as to things on earth. Ten implies that nothing is wanting; the number and order are perfect, and the whole cycle is complete. We can start anew, and receive our blessing but we have to endure to the end and stayed faithful to the word of God. We have to trust without reservations, do not let the external façade deflect our focus, it is just a mirage to detract and delay you because denial is not just a river in Egypt but also the state of mind many, if not all of us live reside in, in some area of our life….What do I mean? Look at this?...Take the order of things, if you remember correctly the following - there are 10 key clauses of the Lord’s Prayer (Matt. 6:9-12), and there are only 10-commandments (Ex. 20:1-17). Nothing was left out of either of these two things; they are complete as is. Now let us look at the completeness of a physical way - Daniel 1:14-15 - He agreed with them in this matter and tested them for 10 days. At the end of 10 days they looked better and healthier than all the young men who were eating the king's food. (HCSB)…Rev 2:10 - Don't be afraid of what you are about to suffer. Look, the Devil is about to throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will have tribulation for 10 days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life (HCSB)…Are we there yet or what am I trying to say? What I am trying to say is whatever you have been holding onto, dwelling on, stuck on, or wanting to do, this is the time to let it go and not let ‘it’, whatever it is, keep you prisoner any longer…Why? Luke 2:10 - But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid." (NIV)…God does want what is best for you, but He desires you to understand the growth process, the evolution of change, or the maturation in The Way is not easy. Lead by example. Remember? He planted his seed in an unmarried child in a time where this was not so acceptable, and resulted in some severe actions levied upon her. Then had the betroth Joseph to go ahead and married her’ the gossip ensued!...I do not need to further how the story ended, we all know, and reap benefits from it…Now, what are we afraid of? Gossip? Others opinion of you and what you are doing? Sacrifices that must be made? Losing Control? Challenges you must face? Why have your focus on these things, and not the Father? If you do, then is what manifest in you. You are given an immutable certification written in blood that guarantees you joy unspeakable, the promise of an abundant life, and no weapons form against shall prosper. Now raise your head, feel the void being filled in your life with love, and walk straight to your perfect destiny…
