Plan it! Do it!

Mar23

“As part of my lads discipline, whenever I have to discipline them, I make them read the scriptures. We always go to the book of Proverbs. Even if they’ve read it BEfore, they have to read it again. It’s like branding their hearts (minds, thoughts) with words that will save their lives.

LAST NIGHT, our discussion was about planning and how we shouldn’t hastily do things. You know just on a whim, carelessly doing something to gratify a short-term emotion; a desire that has the potential to BE incredibly satisfying if we strategically organize it. I was explaining to them that it is important to plan (write the vision) and not just do things BEcause they feel like it.

Additionally, I needed them to understand that how I want it, when I want it, how I want to get it, and if it can’t BE like I want then I don’t want it is a posture of selfishness. And DOING selfishly, based upon a feeling, is a consumption mentality. This mentality leads to sum total poverty. You BEcome mentally obese. SELAH!

Feeling a bit heavy-laden, BEcause I wholly understood my lad’s emotional position, as I was preparing to rest a message came across my news feed about how success is a PLANNED event. Plan it! Do it! Then, THIS MORNING, a message came to me via email reiterating that you must PLAN to win. So then, on TONIGHT there was yet another affirmation confirmation assuring me that I’m yet on the right path in instructing my sons.

Proverbs 21:5.

Yes, the good book of instructions from a mother to her sons. Once again, I’ve found myself in the scriptures; a clear sign that I’m doing just fine as mother and parent” (Smith, Angela M. 2016).

Parents! REPENT!

Apr28

PARENTS!  REPENT! – As a mother, and a parent, it makes me cheerful to hear others acknowledge that I have trained my sons well in the LORD, and that they are maturing and will be successful in this life God has given them.  However, and even better, my soul rejoices when my DNA says, “MOM!  Thank you for teaching me and raising me like you have.  I don’t need to change to please people because I am RIGHT just like I AM!”  I enjoyed my one-on-one time with my Jordan.  However, it seems like when it is just him and I, I end up shopping and he ends up missing his brother.

Nonetheless, just as we did in ages past, some of us 30, 40, 50 years ago, our children and their peers are experiencing budding life changes; changes that will either bring death or life more abundantly.  I’m reminded how the LORD prayed for Simon – Peter – because Satan desired to HAVE him for the purpose of sifting him as wheat.  He prayed that his FAITH fail not.  In this day, Satan still has that desire toward our Simon’s!

PARENTS!  To those of you who believe in God, His Way, and His Truth I plead with you to teach your sons and daughters according to such.  As it is in this very hour, we are 12 letters away from becoming like the WORLD when we forsake the WORD of the YAH!  SELAH!  Study so that you can impart revelatory wisdom and knowledge into their minds!  Study to shew yourself approved unto God; RIGHTLY dividing the Word of TRUTH!  I implore you…don’t put you and your family to shame status!

I beg of you, PARENTS, REPENT for your lack of understanding and your miscarriage of effectively communicating with the fruit of your womb.  I request of you, PARENTS, to seek forgiveness from your sons and daughters whom you’ve injured with your wrongful conduct and your threatening language.  I urge you, PARENTS, to turn from the world’s way of speaking and acting.  Unlearn the world’s language and put the language of God in your mouth!

MOTHERS and FATHERS!  I demand of you to STOP confusing the sinner child by living one way in public and yet another way in private.  CEASE from admiring them in society and vilifying them at home.  PARENTS!  Terminate your two-timing double-minded canons!  Rid yourself of that intimidation spirit!  I say to you again, REPENT!  Apologize to your sons and daughters for betraying them; for not justly fathering them; and for not selflessly mothering them!  REPENT and commend your offspring for doing well; and chastise them with love!

PARENTS ARISE!  BE blameless with your sons and daughters!  Give them honor when honor is due them!  PRAY for them and hug them with ongoing embraces of comfort and compassion!  DRAW them to uprightness with Pure Divine Love!  And, LET lovingkindness BE the lodestone unto salvation!  ALLELUIA!
