TD Jakes Power Of a Thought featuring Black Poetry

The Power of A Thought - **Black Poetry

The Power of A thought is defined many ways it could be inside your head or used as many words conjugated into a sentence, a novel, or phrase. 

Put into action burst creativity, an imagination is the Power of A thought.

When a positive thought enters the mind it can bring a smile upon a face, even change an outlook on life to take on wings propelled into flight.

A negative thought enters it can torment a person and boggle up the mind. Contort itself into a frown, then chain reacts into low self esteem, ages the face, it has many bad dreams. Causing fatal reprecussions to others which can take a life. 

Realize the power of A thought which come from the mouth as a weapon of mass destruction. If applied correctly has power to inspire massive amounts of joy and peace to fulfill our happiness.

When the power of A thought becomes an idea enters into the mind broaden the scope to define since of purpose change lives, if acted upon has enough reach inspiring others to grow finding new directions. The power of a thought loudly spoken can become a permanent wound, will mame stunt the growth of an innocent child often festers discouragement as an adult who feels the sting for a lifetime.

Never discount any idea as stupid thoughts hesistant to ask afraid to reach forth. Stupidity is the question that is hidden away stuck in our mind we abandoned never released a powerful thought. 

A Powerful thought brought forth put into action could manifest something a magnificant beauty to be admired that no eyes can resist.

That God has given to each of us many fruitful gifts.  To Deveolp and nurture but not be disregarded. 

A powerful thought makes you pay close attention will reveal it's purpose. These thoughts on your mind are waiting to be born. Giving you permission just a utterance nudging you along.

It causes demons to trembal about the power you possess with just one thought they'll convince you to deny it's existance. Often disguised as a voice of resistance using outside influences to discourage you to give up and not pay any attention.  

Don't listen to those pessimistic put downs standing on two legs even the tiny voices whispering negative to you inside your brain.  A thought has power to stifle your growth make you feel scared.

Be willing to act upon it Be unafraid!

Bodaciously step outside of your comfort zone find the Faith.  Trust and believe in yourself just take a chance, but first of all Trust in GOD to guide your thinking take action making one footstep at a time.

The Power of a Thought can help you soar way above it'll stretch you farther to your highest potential. Be secure knowing who you are, one whose truly blessed.  

The Power of A thought.

GOD Bless my Bishop this is what the LORD has called him to do. " For We worship AlmighT GOD in Spirith and in TRUTH!"

OH LORD PLEASE DON'T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD

MISUNDERSTOOD

We are born and come into the world innocent naked hoping we get a great set of parents carnal being dealt a hand only to be met with a life uniquely designed for us aligned with a bigger plan in mind.

Momma seemed to understand set me on the right path during adolescence was a cakewalk, puberty I woke up misunderstood. Being the only girl, struggling to fit in outside their world.

So I grow, learning to communicate one word, then a thought, until I can stand alone with adulthood issues to problem solve without Mommas help.

Misunderstood

Given the values of a Queen to run any “Kingdome”, coached by many mentors who taught the laws of the sacred Golden rules attended Sunday school; participated in Tom Thumb weddings being prepared to become a wife to fear and love the Lord seeing me as “The Bride” walking hand hand down the aisle. Disillusioned, I misunderstood the facts of life.

Misunderstood..

Barbe & Ken dolls, Doo Wop songs, Temptations, Ojays, Luther, and the like, Main Ingredient kept me Spinning around with high expectations compromised more than once or twice.

Surviving humiliations

With my head held high, seeking my guidance headed east pass Jupiter for the only one who truly does get me, truly loves me exactly as I am.

 He understands.

Before I began to compose this, suddenly, in my solitude I hear Smokey Norvel ministering from the radio then at once to my inner voice leaping inside to the song, “I Understand,”  it seemed appropriate cause you can’t choose your family, not even your lifetime partner or that handful of friends; maybe?

Who may never get who you really are that sometimes take you for granted as you evolve onward towards a magnificient journey that God has laid out just for you to follow no explanation given we struggle for answers rarely do we understand. We end up growing in truth and love as we learn how to serve our fellow Man in one-way shape or form. Whether life feels routine somewhat self righteous with little or no major ups and downs. Give him Honour, and honour those who teach you,

Just remember GOD Understands, in his word he Proclaims, I AM God the only one who changes not, day in and day out. I call on and rely on Him Jehovah Jireh my Provider, Jehovah Nissi my banner, and El Shaddai Almighty GOD, the strength giver..

Who never sleeps nor slumbers

For I can’t satisfy my own soul, my plight is solo some days I don’t fathom why God moves in his ways I end the day in prayer , getting through the mine fields each day achieving the Victory seems astounding“Thank You Lord Yeah tho I walk through the valley of the Shadow of death”! At times being persecuted by the world when it doesn’t matter if I’m minding my own business or just standing firm when controversy twists and distorts the direction of life that causes fingers to point, loud whispers, or even laughs life maybe hard but it's fair!

My mind remembering that what don’t kill you sometimes criticism hard as it seem can make you strong. Don’t be like Lot’s wife it symbol, Old Testament “she turned into a pilar of salt, New Testament describes it as being sifted as wheat”

Don't Look Back!

When people leave you or forsake you let them go. In the book, Acts of Faith remember what Iyanla proclaimed that your purpose, my purpose and other people’s purpose are but for, “A reason, a season, or a lifetime.

Walk on, through the wind, walk on thru the rain; Cry out to Him to please take my hand.

In time all things do pass away. And forgive yourself for letting go don’t hold on because moving forward is part of God’s bigger plan. He knows the prequel to the sequel better than you or I even the part about how much you are uniquely a blessing to others and often…

"Never Look Back" 
Live life on life terms with little or no regrets

Oh GOD Please don't let me be

Misunderstood!

RELIGION IS TAUGHT....

SPIRITUALITY IS FELT

 featuring Marvin Gaye Wholy Holy

Only in America!

To live in this Nation where we have so many kind of Faith's I ponder

How many different cultures are walking by faith and not by sight.

Reacting to Buildings and Burning Holy Books &
Crosses

Religion is taught and behavior is learned manipulated to gain a person loyalty and trust.  Walking by faith is like closing your eyes or being blind folded and trusting you can make it around a room and once you've made although nobody else is around to share the victory you feel a combustable amount of joy, well that's how I trust GOD. 

I didn't realize that for years he was moving me into position to develop a relationship with Him which means trusting my prayer life and being viligent for an answer.  Being patient when the desires of my heart don't manifest because I live under GOD's watchful eye and He promised to never forsake me.
This is described as being spiritual with GOD trusting in a Power much greater than myself and believing that Power does exist and Loves me.  And you too!

I could be a Baptist, AME, Pentecostal their All kinds Christians, muslims attend a Mosque, Jewish celebrate sabbath at a Temple; Mormon, Jehovah's Witnessess; Seven Day Adventist;  maybe some even attend Catholic Cathedral.

Some can be so hate filled but attend faithfully every Sunday, Saturday..

but given that-

All of these organized religions preach and teach their methods and interpretations of GOD's Plan, but if I'm not committed to what is being taught then what is my purpose for joining this organization? Just to be a part of a fellowship but do I fellowship alone with GOD. Do you believe you can go directly to GOD without any barriers or rituals?

However You Name Him.

Don't attend with intentions to meet a spouse or does GOD reside in my house a living temple.

I worship everyday not just on Sunday or Wednesday night

because

Spirtuality is felt from cultivating a friendship with Him, according to His Word once Jesus died on our behalf we became friends. I feel nothing but love, He walks with me and talks with me and tells me I am His own.....

You might laugh and say that's crazy L.

But

I beg you to try this out, once you knock, He'll invite you in then ask for what you want, seek and you shall find the answer to any trouble you're faced with or any thoughts that may cause you to worry.

Suggestion:  Be Patient Rome wasn't built in a day!

Remember if what you prayed for finally does manifest appreciate that moment of joy for that's 

Spirituality felt.

How am I applying these teachings into my life do I read the Bible, Koran to get a Word that relates to my life and how to develop a strong relationship with GOD enough that no man has to offer up prayers on my behalf or pray over my tithes and offerings as a pre-requiste to emploring GOD's favor?  I don't think so he isn't concerned with any material offerings, cause and effect provides for the material gain we seek.  How bad do you want to work to be blessed or to be a blessing to others.

For GOD is only interested in those who wish to serve not be served!

Be careful how you pray and what you pray for Life is full of trickery a Fools' Paradise.

GOD will sustain you but religion is just a lesson a blue print is what's taught.

It's hard to believe in what you cannot see, ask a blind man how does he see once you loose your sight.

All other senses become more profound.

Imagine your life now being blind close your eyes

and open them.

Hold on to that thought because that's how it feels to find true Spiritual freedom.

Attend Church to Praise Worship, fellowship but open up the notes you take down, study the Bible on Saturday's.

Mouth will say anything but behavior don't lie!

Learn to lean not to your own understanding know that which comes from the Spirit is inside only by trusting in GOD that's not taught by Mankind.

ARE WE STILL ON? black poetry - featuring Nature Boy Tribute

Black Poetry

ARE WE STILL ON?

I wake each morning with the same thing on my mind, wondering about you and watching time fly. The dawn only reminds me of how I enjoyed watching you sleep and being captivated by the peacefulness of your face. Silently watching you breathe, feeling your heart beat, and the warm softness of your caramel coated skin gently touching up against mine.

Dragging myself up out of unconsciousness my mind wonders, are you secure, safe, and does he miss the softness of my kiss…. Are we still on and does the feelings of love still linger within. My desire for you only gets deeper as each day passes seems like I’ve caught something like a bad virus. Can’t seem to shake you holding on as hard as I can to what now seems to be somebody else’s man

I keep trying to convince myself of the love we hold as true telling myself, “Nothing and no other woman could ever replace you”, but the question still pops up again, Are we still on, or is this the bitter end.

God! I keep praying bring him home soon, don’t wanna lose this feeling. Our house is like one big empty room. No peace between us whenever we’re together, but being apart is worse than ever. Luther was right about a House is not a home, the end result when your man is left to roam. You wonder, Are we still on?

Dedicated to the love of my life.....
Shelle"Moderator, Peace

"Nature Boy"

NAT KING COLE LYRICS

There was a boy
A very strange, enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far
Very far, over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he

And then one day,
One magic day he passed my way
While we spoke of many things
Fools and Kings
This he said to me:

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return".

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return".

[Instrumental]

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return".

The song writer – eden ahbez (he insisted that his name will not be capitalized),
A Brooklyn born, homeless by choice in Californiamystic and spiritual eccentric – was partially Jewish.  The tune was apparently an older Eastern European Jewish tune – Shvayg mayn harts (In Yidish – Be Still, My Heart) by Herman Yablokuff, who sued ahbez and won $25,000 in a one time settlement.  

Growing into God's Favor

By: Bishop T. D. Jakes, Special to BlackAmericaWeb.com

Have you ever gone through a situation so bad that you thought no one in the world could possibly be in a more terrible fix than you? The experience was beyond comprehension and it seemed impossible that you ever get out of it but somehow you did? I know people who lost their jobs, and as a result, lost their homes, cars or went bankrupt. Now they're in a better job, making better money and experiencing success in other areas of life only to be challenged by scandalous criticism from so-called "friends" and even family.
Isn't it amazing how a person can go through extreme difficulties in life, but as soon as God delivers them out of that situation into His blessing, the people around them begin questioning their progress? They begin to prejudge the miracle God has performed by saying things like: "I don't know how she got that job; she was just a secretary before." "How can he live in a house like that; he must be selling drugs." "What are they grinning about; last year they were talking about getting a divorce." Can you relate to what I'm saying?
You may be surprised, but your best moment often provokes envy and jealousy in others. God's favor on your life becomes the source of their frustration. In fact, many believe your favor was at their expense. Unfortunately they never muster up the courage to celebrate the big break you've been waiting for all your life.

I am reminded of the story in the Bible where a man had been blind since birth. When Jesus and His disciples came up on the man, the disciples questioned Jesus saying, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him" (John 9:2-3).After Jesus healed the man, you would think that the people who knew him would have celebrated and been happy for him. Instead great controversy broke out and they began to question his healing. They questioned his parents to the point that they doubted that the man was who he said he was. Worse than that, they questioned the work of Jesus.

You may be wondering why things are as they are in your life right now, or why you had to go through what you went through to arrive at the place you are today. Quite honestly, some things have no explanation. And unfortunately bad things do happen to good people. But God has purpose in everything; and only He can bring you out. God wants to reveal His work in your life.
Whatever you're waiting for right now, consciously or subconsciously, hold on. Your help is on the way! As you wait, begin preparing yourself for the backlash of God's favor. Determine that you will walk in your miracle despite what anyone says or thinks. People may prejudge you, question God's blessing on your life and hate you for being chosen. Don't worry. Grow into His favor and enjoy the benefits of your miracle.

Because of Loving A MAN - I found Faith & Courage

Let everyone understand that the real love of God does not consist in tear-shedding...but in serving God serving those around us, in justice, fortitude of soul, and humility.

Because of loving a MAN

Hurt and disappointed by those who say they love me; my lover, a handful of friends, not to mention my foes who all never cease to amaze me with their opinions of my life.

Because of loving a MAN? 

I stand accused.

Just because of loving a MAN….

They all point and laugh at me and say, she’s sad and blinded by loving Him and believing in Him and all that He does for me.

So I hurt, and I suffer much from loneliness at times 

because of loving this MAN.

 He’s the only one whom I place all my Faith and Trust. 

Right now He’s the all I need to depend upon.

 He who has the power to love so many besides me.

Because of loving this Man\

 He chose me!

It was all planned - for I have no shame 

Never being rejected, 

Or neglected 

My life hasn't been the same. 

Often feeling left alone My doubters can't conceive

my need for

  trusting in this MAN.

But, He has suffered for my transgrestion, stood accused then was hung on a cross 

they thought they killed Him and he would no longer be

He spoke and said " No one takes MY Life but I give it Freely"

 to pay a debt owed by many and to save someone's life.

Free from sins which was part of a bigger plan. 

After 3 days he woke up and rose again! 

Because of loving this MAN

Who came in the flesh trying to relate to a sad and desolate world, 

Save the Wretched and Defeat the enemy that's destined to die. 

at the appointed time.

For He tells me he loves me and I am his own.  Despite any disappointment

all the hurt and pain I suffered 

Count it all as Joy. 

Knowing I have by Faith and Courage in the name of Jesus Christ, 

My MAN the King of Kings. 

 I call him Counselor, Friend, LORD of Lords.

HE to whom I can say to GOD when I pray

intercedes for me 

Sits at the right-hand of His FATHER

 On God’s throne.

Because of loving this MAN

I'm Free eternally never, ever to feel alone.
