Light or Heavy Weights ?!

What's goodie beautiful people and others?! Welcome to May 🥳. It's still a little cold out on my side of the world. I hope y'all are still able to get some heat wherever you are. It's been a good little minute since I've been here. So much has taken place. So much has shifted. So much has been lifted. And I'm super grateful. I hope you've been feeling light and not heavy. Hopefully if you've been feeling a little pressure, confusion, or etc I pray your spirit is lifted soon.

I just wanted to slide in and remind you about God's love for you. I know there is so much going on in the world today which can add to the weight of things but how many of you know that God is a burden bearer?! 🙋🏿‍♀️ I know I do. I had the pleasure of reading Nehemiah 5:14-19 the other day and it blessed me. So I wanted to share that blessing with you. 💚

This section of scripture highlights how Nehemiah’s love for his people refused to allow him to be a burden to them. Typically, as Governor during that time, Nehemiah could have had an allowance of food, wine and money during his 12yr seat. Yet, he refused it because of his respect for God and his love for the people. He knew the weight of a burden this was on the people from the example his peers provided. So he chose to be and do differently.

How often do you appreciate the burdens others add to you?! How often do you appreciate the burdens others lift from you?! 👀

One of the joys I have when reading God's word is his many examples of what love is and how we can show it to others and ourselves. We know that God's love for us lifted the burden or “curse” of the law from us by sacrificing his life (Gal 3:13). The word also tells us that the burdens God gives are light not heavy (Matt 11:29-30). That God's intent for us is to be free not bound. To stand firm and to be not burdened by a yoke of slavery (Gal 5:1).

Love frees you. It lifts you up instead of trying to weigh you down. We can see that in God's example of love for us. If you're feeling heavy today ask yourself what are you carrying that's not yours?! 😶‍🌫️ Send it back to it's rightful owner!! Stand ten on that ‼️💃🏿 Another way you can get free is to simply take a moment and tell God “Thank You”. So often it's easy to get distracted or caught up in the day to day routine of “tackling today, to prep for tomorrow” that we forget to tell God “Thank you” for all the things he's carried for us that we don't see or take for granted.

I know, I know. There are things going on in high places trying to apply heavy weights on us. But one thing I do every so often is dance/sing if I'm feeling too juiced up. Gone and hit one of those dances like David & fool the enemy real quick. I bet you'll feel lighter AND I bet you'll give the devil a few good stumps on the head 😄. The light God has given us to shine is heavy weight. Pressure for the enemy….. But a glow for US!! Keep shining beautiful people. Summer will soon heat up!

Innerstand that God's love for you lifts your burdens. So walk in victory….. “light”. Floating like a 🦋 stinging like a 🐝. God already made you the true heavyweight.

Love y'all, later.

But sooner than later. This time.

Does Delilah operate within YOU?!

Ain't no hey. Just what's up! Don't even want to know how y'all doing. Just listen with your eyes 😁. This is a raw message today.

Y'all know about Samson and Delilah right?! If not you can find their story in Judges. However, I had the pleasure of reading their story again this week and I just realized something. Delilah is operating in a lot of people.

Everybody is always talking about Jezebel. Like Delilah didn't serve a sinister purpose as well. That chic stayed nagging. Getting on Samson nerves until she finally got him to give in and tell his secret.

Breathe. Now look in the mirror 🪞. Do you see Delilah?! 🧐

If you didn't it's because maybe you're in denial that you have been used by the Philistines. The people who worshipped the fish headed God. They were so happy when Delilah finally got Samson to tell the truth. They were praising their God and cracking jokes. Dancing around like people do 👀.

When the persistent nagging spirit in Delilah was what got him to crack.

Men today STILL can't stand a nagging woman 🥴😂. Don't ask that man the same thing 5011 times. Let him chill and leave him be. But what's interesting is how Delilah is showing up today.

People are so pressed on being “in the group” of folks used by wickedness to get someone else to break. We're going to nagg every thing they're doing just because we have access. Some people are the most talking thru the movie kinda folks it's ridiculous!

Then they'll be like “you have to deal with it because you're at a higher level.” 😁🧐 😂 Who?! smacks teeth

You will talk to me nicely or I'll talk to you accordingly. You can see all these details about someone else but cant see yourself?! Guess we don't train people to look inwardly enough. Too busy trying to nagg someone else off their post.

Someone will say they want peace and here comes Delilah she heard “problems”. Now there's a monkey riding your back named Delilah. A flying monkey at that. Wizard of Oz type thing. And everybody who deems themselves as more mature will tell you “don't swat the monkey down”.

🗣️It's a war going on outside. Take the monkey out !! Bring it down!! 🤨 Shoot your arrows into its camp.

Idky people look at anointed people and think they always show up in one way. That's the biggest farce EVER. Samson was used and brought up dedicated to God JUST to stir up trouble in the Philistines camp. He was fashioned from birth for godly trouble! And was STILL ANOINTED AND USED BY GOD!

But guess what brought him down. His appetite for women outside his camp. Ain't that something. This man was anointed by God. Strength on indestructible and the thing that took him out was his appetite for a beautiful woman from the enemies camp.

God set it up all on purpose for his plans. Anointings show up in all types of uses. God puts together all kinds of scenarios and people are like “blah, blah, blah, blah,blah , blah” like God doesn't know what he's doing. Samson mom told him to choose a woman from their clan. Yet, Samson knew what he wanted. And he knew because it was God's design for his life!

Had he listened to his mom trying to convince him to do what she thought was best God would’ve had to restrategize his plans. Of course we know he's able to do so. I'm just saying.

Your nagging trying to tear someone down is because Delilah is within you. Samsons appetite that cost him his life but gave God the victory was counted in the cost of his anointing. There is NO one way for an anointing to present in a person's life.

I'm sure if Samson would've just told that girl to shut the heck up! He could've avoided all of that. Yet, she was used in the grand scheme of it all.

Things don't have to make sense. They have to produce results that God wants. (This will surely be used by a narcissist because narcs are just cruel decepticons! And NO this is NOT about a desire for a freaking relationship 🙄) But those with eyes to see and ears to hear innerstand what I mean. I don't expect things to be easy. Don't expect for the truth of your reflection to always be easy either 🤷🏿‍♀️‼️

And yep. It's still love ya later.

Samson didn't not love Delilah because she was getting on his nerves. It's STILL all love.
