Better not Bitter 😊

Heyyyy good people and others. Hope all is well your way. It's pretty good my way so no complaints.

One of the things I admire about David is that in all of Saul's attempts to destroy him; David didn't get bitter…. He got better. David truly loved and respected Saul despite his hatred for David. There were many times that David could've easily taken his life. Yet, all he did was show him, that his grace was sufficient. 😄

Can you imagine the person you hating walking up on your blindspot and them not taking your life? 👀 Talk about restraint under pressure. David showed Saul this grace multiple times! Yet, Saul still lacked understanding.

Understanding is something that the word tells us to get (Ephesians).

Yet, Saul's hatred blinded him from accepting what God continued to show him through David. Saul might have caused David to run to the wilderness. But, David eventually established community there. David may have been separated from his family. But eventually he was able to be with them again.

Nothing Saul did interrupted the growth or strength that David needed on his journey of becoming King. Everything he meant for his bad, was used for his good. (…..) Every negative situation he was put in. He was able to make something out of nothing.

Saul's bitterness cost him the exact “everything” he desired to take from David; including his life. David's potential revealed Saul's wickedness 🫠. Dried up Saul's “good fruit”. Saul was so invested in his selfish ambition to set a trap for David he never realized the trap he set for himself.

It doesn't pay to be bitter. It does pay to be better.

Don't make the bad things, the slander, the hate, the group tactics and schemes of the enemy convince you that being blindly bitter is better. Do better by staying true to who you are. Just as David did.

Be easy. Love ya. Later.

Sure of What was, but Not What Is!

Heyyyy beautiful people?! What's goodie? How has your 2026 been so far?! 👀 Listen, I've cried a couple times already😭. Can't even lie. Just boo hooing 😭. None the less God is STILL good…STILL sovereign. I hope your year has been off to a good start.

Some of you may still be holding on to “what was”. We have seen just how much people will cling to the familiar when their “normal” is challenged. We have seen that recently with the entire Jamal Bryant church rebuke that took place recently. Many have voiced their opinions in defence of their “shepherd”. Many are shocked that God STILL uses his prophets just as the Bible has highlighted prophets are used. Ain't that something?!

This is why it's important to study the word for ourselves. To be able to show ourselves approved.

In John 9:28-33, we also see an example of this. The Pharisees were questioning the blind man that Jesus had healed. They wanted to know “how” a “sinner” could do such a thing. The doubted Jesus simply because they didn't know where he came from. Is that not exactly what's going on now. The gates of wicked church gatekeepers are being shaken and those who claim to believe in God deny the power of his prophetic voices simply because they know not “where” they came from. Just as the Pharisees did.

The Pharisees told the blind man, after insulting him, “You are his follower! (Jesus) We are followers of Moses. We are sure that God spoke to Moses, but we don't even know where Jesus comes from.” (John 9:28-29) Isn't that something ?! To doubt the obvious power because you don't know where it comes from. Yet, the blind man checks the Pharisees and tells them “How strange!” “He healed my eyes, and yet you don't know where he comes from. We know that God listens only to people who love and obey him. God doesn't listen to sinners. And this is the first time in history that anyone has ever given sight to someone born blind. Jesus could not do anything unless he came from God.” (John 9:30-33)

Some of you are unknowingly clinging to what was and rejecting what God is doing in the Earth now. You have more loyalties to man than you do to your own spiritual destination. God desires to do a new thing in this Earth. Holding on to what was will only ensure you miss out on what he desires to be.

Don't cling to the past so much that it halts your forward movement. Pray that God gives you sight to see. Strength to let go of what no longer serves you. No, it's not always easy to do or to digest. But it is very much worth it.

Have the faith for what is to come without being bound to what was that is no longer serving your walk with Christ. Y'all be easy.

Love ya. Later.

Just this One will Cover them All !

What’s up good people and others? Pray you have had a great weekend thus far. That you were able to get rest (for those of you who keep the sabbath) & that you treated yourself to some type of enjoyment. Even if it was simply chilling at home.

I came across something interesting in the word that I wanted to share with you all. Hopefully it helps you along your journey of elevation as it has helped me.

I have a video on my YouTube channel that highlights how our love for God is dependent on if we keep his commandments. The video is titled “The Clause on Love” & it is under the Live section on my Ls2Elevation YouTube channel. In it I speak on John 14:15 & how God wants to see our love thru the way in which we keep his commandments. It’s a pretty good video. Make sure you check it out.

In total there are ten commandments in the Bible that are referenced frequently. These are the commandments God wants us to keep. When you read thru them all you might spend some time self reflecting on whether or not you have truly been showing God you love him. I know there are some commandments that I have not always kept. Some that I have struggled to fully get right. Others I am grateful that I can check the box showing I am able. Yet did you know that there is ONE action that will cover them all? Can you guess what it is?

Alright, alright, let me tell you.

It is “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as you love yourself.” (Galatians 5:14) Seems simple enough right? Yet, when we look out into the world today in 2025, the love shown is all questionable. Imagine being able to show God you love him simply by treating others how you want to be treated. Many fail at this. Maybe, it’s because they struggle to love themselves. Maybe their hearts have waxed cold. Maybe, no love was shown to them. There honestly could be endless possibilities on why people choose not to love their neighbor. Yet, it is the simple thing that God desires for his children to do to show that they truly love him.

If there was more love in the world instead of hate, jealousy, envy and covetousness the world would be a completely different place. People would be more willing to help others, more willing to look past some of the simple things that people get into arguments and competitions about. It’s interesting when you read the next verse in Galatians, verse 5:15, it states, “But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.” Is that not exactly what is happening in the world today? Nation against nation? This group blaming that group. Cultural hate for others instead of embracing our differences.

In one action, we as children of God can reciprocate the love that God has shown us.

The bigger question for many people to ask themselves. Is do you love yourself? How can you love your neighbor if you don’t.

Whelp, y’all be blessed. Have an amazing day.

Love ya, later,

Shya.

Could You Pass this Test ?!

What's up beautiful people?! Hello. Bonjour. Que pasa!

I'm sitting here having a moment with the father just reflecting on things as I typically do. In the midst of my singing and thanking God for the life he has given me. My mom flashes in my head. Warm tears begin to stream down my face and the music stops (The singing I was doing haha). I love my mom. I love her so much.

Yet, if I love her more than I love the Father, Jesus Christ, I'd be found unworthy of him (Matthew 10:37-38). Isn't that something?!

It's truly a rough pill to digest. Yet, would you be found worthy?! The Bible talks about how there will be a separation between Father and son, mother and daughter, etc, etc (Luke 12:53). I know for a fact that it's hard being away from people you love. Yet, even when we are, we are not alone because God is with us.

I'm reminded of this YouTube clip of TD Jakes with his family standing behind him. There had just been news spread around the media bringing up old photos and videos while he attended a party of an individual who had been sued for some deviant acts. Yet and still his family and some of his congregation continued to stand behind him. The image of the family coming together was nice.

Most people are raised to stand up for their family. To love and support them. “If one fight, we all fight” type situation. It's hard to break that mindset. Hard to break that bond. Yet, when walking with and for Christ there will come a time when you'll need to decide if you're truly worthy of him. The test just might be. . . will you continue to stand with your family knowing they are doing things outside the will of God?! Where God has called us to be set apart. God’s children are called to be different and to stand ten toes in the differences concerning how we carry ourselves and show up in the world.

Could you pass the test of being set apart if it meant that you would have to disconnect from the very individuals you love and grew up with? I hope one day you will be able to say that you can.

Till next time.

Love ya later,

Shya.

Hello Beautiful people and others. I pray all has been well in your lives. I want to dive in and share something I’ve found pretty dope.

Earlier today I was sitting doing my hair and the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist dropped in my spirit. As I was sitting viewing the image of this special event in time. The holy spirit began to highlight to me the heart and humility of being chosen. When I sat and listened to God talk to me about how John the Baptist was chosen to baptize Christ. Yes, John had performed other baptisms, but not everyone gets to baptize Jesus Christ.

See, anytime I think of John the Baptist, I always immediately see him sitting in the wilderness minding his business. I love what his life and walk illustrates. His life is the true image of not having a care in the world about outside opinions and perspectives simply because he was so tapped into his relationship with Christ. John spent much of his ministry in the wilderness; by himself. He would eventually have those he was called to help meet him where he was, in the wilderness. He did not look like society would expect a person to carry themselves and he had not a care to do so. (Mark 1:4-7)

As God continued to talk to me, he highlighted how people today struggle to have the same humility John did. So many of the current church leaders would have chose to profit off of their fame of baptizing Jesus Christ. Would’ve established a world renown course and updated their social media to ensure they have the “certifications” broadcast to their audience. Yet, John hesitated when first asked to baptize Jesus and reverenced him, stating that Jesus should be baptizing him (Matt 3:14). He didn’t see himself as worthy. But Jesus did.

Isn’t it amazing the things God calls us to he has already qualified us to do?

As God continued to talk to me about the heart and humility of being chosen, he highlighted the relationship of Jesus and Elijah. He took me back to the time when Elijah was overwhelmed with the work God had called him to do; God gave him rest in the wilderness while sending an angel to nourish him with bread and water (1 King 19: 3-7). Once Elijah had rested and been nourished, he was strengthened enough to head on his journey. In this recollection God was showing me his heart for those he chooses. God loved Elijah just as he loves us. Despite our hesitations and fears God provides us with enough grace and mercy to pull thru.

God further highlighted the connection between these very two different moments. There is no John without Elijah. (Matt 17: 12-13; Luke 1:17) There is no Elijah without Christ Jesus. All have a very special and unique connection. The thing that stood out about all individuals involved the heart of their mission.

There are many of us called, but indeed a few are chosen. So many of us want to do great things and be great in the sight of man without meeting the requirements of what it means to be great in the sight of God. In the sight of Jesus Christ. To obtain that honor it requires a heart check. Could you imagine being loved by Christ so much that every time he returns for his people, he sends the same person to clear his path? Being chosen is tough work as we see with the lives of the individuals discussed in this blog. However, the beauty of being chosen is found in the heart of the individuals. Jesus loves us.

Chose to love yourself today by establishing a relationship with Jesus Christ. Come home before it’s too late. He wants to love on you.

Love ya later.

The Grace isn’t Unlimited!

Hello, Bonjour, Que Pasa! How are you all today? I pray all is well with you.

Today I wanted to talk about The Grace Isn’t Unlimited!

Many of us have grown up in homes, churches and vast communities where we have established connections and loving relationships. Some of us have grown up in not so loving relationships. Yet, we have found the strength to heal and continue to move forward. For those of us who have endured different things in life I’m sure we can attest to the fact that “Grace isn’t always unlimited.”

When we look at the word of God in Psalms 78 we see where God was dealing with the Israelites thirsting in the wilderness. God provided for them numerous times. Numerous times. Yet, the Israelites continued in their complaints and their request for more from God with a lack of thanks. Have any of you ever been giving and giving and giving and no one ever took a moment to simply say “thank you” for the work or services you have provided for them? I’m not sure if many people understand the complex simplicity that “thank you” provides. Thank you is one of the most simple and profound things you can say to someone.

Thank you gives. It gives in ways that will uplift and encourage the giver to give more because they feel appreciated. God wants us to appreciate his love for us. Some of us take for granted the love that God provides. I believe this is the case because we get comfortable in his works for us. Much like the Israelites did in the Bible. (Psalms 78:42) They had become so expectant of God being God in their lives that they didn’t even acknowledge that he was doing miraculous deeds to ensure they were fed. They didn’t even acknowledge that God was feeding them heavenly food.

Could you imagine being fed bread from heaven and believing that you are just naturally deserving of such a meal? (Psalms 78:24) As if you created the heavens and the earth in 7 days yourself. Eventually, people get tired. Just as God himself gets tired. We see in the Bible where God had given to the point where he was fed up. He then turns and smites the Israelites right when they were about to feast on the manna he had provided. (Psalms 78:31)

The grace God allots us is not unlimited. We as believers believe that all we have to do is “repent”. Let some of your celebrity Pastors tell it. However, true repentance is turning away from your sins. Meaning leaving them in the past. Turning away from them. Allowing God to establish you as a new creature in him. When we get comfortable in walking in our sins we are playing with fire. God’s consuming fire! Whether we take his warnings seriously or not….do we really want the smoke that God gives?! Don’t take God’s grace for granted. One day you won’t have time to repent and get your life in order. Start today!

God’s grace is not unlimited!
