Discernment IT IS!

"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces, Matthew 7:6. (NLT)
Diamonds, we can't share everything with everyone especially when they are not born again and you are experiencing a spiritual matter in search of Godly counsel.  They will always see things from a worldly perspective and they cannot understand that which is spiritual because they lack the presence of the Holy Spirit who opens up our understanding and moves us into all truth.  We have now the Spirit who is from God and not of the world.  We also speak not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches comparing spiritual things with spiritual.  Remember:  the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to them; nor can they know them, because they are spiritually discerned.  (Please read 1 Corinthians 2:6-16)

If you find yourself tempted to defend your position, they will turn on you by being hostile and then they will begin to attack you spiritually.

Here is a BIG NO, NO:  If God has spoken to you about a specific matter then its settled.  Don't feel the need or fall into the trap of getting too comfortable with sharing the situation because they wouldn't understand even when they feel their position is valid.  

Just find something else to talk about like the weather....it is truly a nice day today!  :)

No Room For Excuses!

There was this young woman diagnosed with leukemia and she spent a considerable amount of time in cancer treatment facilities.   Everyone that came in contact with this young lady always referred to her as remarkable, and resilient. It baffled them how she was able to keep such a sweet spirit considering all she has endured.  The doctors and medical specialists couldn't understand it. When they would shake their heads, she opened her heart and then began to testify of God's goodness in the midst of the storm. When the doctors came in with some "bad news" she was quick to tell them about the hope she had in Christ Jesus. Again, they couldn't understand how she could believe in a God that allowed her to experience so much suffering. Politely she would explain that her suffering is not a death sentence or a reflection of God's lack of love for her. In her suffering she experiences the grace of God that others in her weakness may witness His strength. ...

Diamonds, there was a young person a part of her church's youth group and she shared that she wanted a job in a strip club. "The strip club," they asked? "Yes, the strip club. There is a job opening as a cook and while I'm there I want to share the gospel with the strippers," she explained to her youth group. Well, her youth leader, along with her youth group carpooled to the strip club and prayed over the building in the dead of winter. They then proceeded by writing her work sc hedule down after she got the job and when she was scheduled to work, they each agreed to pray. After the young person ministered to the other young women in the strip club and introduced them to Jesus Christ, they responded by coming into the church, giving their lives to Christ and made the decision to change occupations. What an awesome testimony of God's love, light, and grace being dispensed into the world! May this testimony encourage someone to follow God's ...

#REMEMBER

On the eve of the 18th Anniversary of the campus fire at Seton Hall University (1/19/00), the Lord woke me up early this morning with thoughts of my late beautiful mother, aka "Red,"  👄 Doris Marlene King-Christmas. She left this earth serving and caring for both my sick grandmother as well as myself (2002). On the day of her aneurysm, we were preparing for another surgery related to the fire but she held her head high while fighting back her own tears, held my hand and to get my mind off of surgery, she asked me to cook a packet of oodles of noodles (LOL) for her. That woman was determined for me to regain my activities of daily living because little did I know, I would one day have a family to care of for myself by the grace of God. I could not have made it this far without the Lord using her to begin the process of healing. She kept a song in her heart, and a step in her foot (picturing her dancing like David did minus the clothes falling off (LOL). I would have been l...
