Dont Worry, Rest for Your Reward

There are so many things we deal with on a day to day basis that formulate ideas, and create false perceptions of who we really are, and what we are capable of doing. Lately I have been reminding myself not to worry about where I am. Rather rest in the future God has prepared for me.

When you worry you fight a mental battle and remind yourself of what you cant have, don't see, or cant do. And while these thoughts are at the for front of your mind you can no longer focus on what you do have, do see, and can do. The truth is you have the power to change your situation through prayer and strategies that God gives you, but only if you stop worrying about your current problem and start utilizing what God has already put inside of you to change the situation. This is how we rest in God.

There are numerous occasions in the Bible where God told His people not to worry, but to rest in Him. In Daniel 12:13 it says "And you? Go about your business without fretting or worrying. Relax. When it's all over, you will be on your feet to receive your reward." In other words, Relaxing and resting in God is directly associated with recieving your reward!

My goals is less worry, more reward.

God's Will!!!

I, a Kingdom Citizen, believe in the Constitution (Bible) and EVERYTHING IN IT!!! God's will is and always has been for His children to prosper! Just as any father wants good for their children, what would make Him any different? He's our Heavenly Father and He's the Source of all things! He gives us what is due to us. Since He has us at His heart's best interest He won't set us up to fail! So with that being said if you believe that He wants you to prosper it will be given to you according your faith! I put Scriptures down to back up what I'm saying eventhough there's a WHOLE lot more!

1 Chronicles 22:13 For you will be successful if you carefully obey the decrees and regulations that the LORD gave to Israel through Moses. Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid or lose heart! Mark 10:29-30 ‘Yes’, Jesus replied, ‘and I assure you that everyone who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or property, for my sake and for the Good News, will receive now in return a hundred times as many houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and property-along with persecution. And in the world to come that person will have eternal life.’Matthew 7:7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! ~Levite~ (King & Priest)

Who said it?

When we speak or hear stuff that other people input into our lives in regards to advice or how to live, we gotta question where that came from. Some things are stated to us that just aren't what God said. And it's what He says that matters. We should never be out of line with the Bible when we speak. Otherwise it's old wives fables or a lie. Small example: supposedly if you open an umbrella inside a house or building, you'll receive bad luck. WRONG! My King is a sure God and the One whom blessings as well as righteous judgement flows from. 1 Timothy 4:7 says to do away with old wives fables. Bigger example: having money is a determinant or sign of being highly blessed and favored. WRONG! God is our provider, Jehovah Jirah - not money. When Jesus fed the thousands (Luke 9:10-17), He and the disciples had money on them that wasn't even enough to get food for all the people - kind of like not having enough money for bills or to feed your family. But Jesus knew where provision came from. He blessed the bread and the fish, and the thousands were made full along with bountiful baskets of left-overs. If God blesses me with a free car, do I need money to buy a car?Money isn't the need. God is our need. We need God. And to go along with a bigger example: some have spoken that there are others ways to the Father, other ways to enter into the Kingdom of God or into Heaven. NAW! WRONG AGAIN! Jesus is the only way to the Father (John 14:6). We gotta make sure what we speak matches the Word we claim to live by. I think we may visit this discussion again.... (Lyrical Truth)

Increase Your Capacity to Receive

Many times we request "stuff" from God, and become disappointed and disillusioned when we don't receive it. But instead of getting upset and crying about it (which does not help a thing) ask yourself, what did i miss? This is the only relevant question at that point, since God is perfect and can not lie. This is a question I asked myself earlier this week about some things I was praying about.

Here's the revelation God gave me: We don't receive because we don't increase our capacity to receive!

A simple yet profound concept that everyone needs to grasp. When we pray for money, God cannot go POOF! and make money magically appear. He has to lead you to a divine strategy that enables you to find, create, or start a new thing that enables you to get the overflow. If you are praying for overflow in finances, be on the look out for the business idea, the strategy, or the plan God will use to help you get what you need. If you are praying for enhanced lyric ability, get online and do some research so that God can then download revalation to your spirit through what you learn. In other words, dont sit there and wait for God to do a Houdini. Get up and be on the look out for your blessing. Increase your capacity to receive by gaining knowledge that God can then help you multiply into His devine favor.

Pressin' Through!

There are many instances and/or people in life that will throw things your way which can get you off track. Sometimes these actions may be intentional or indirect, but none the less can affect how you percieve their motives. In doing so this can be a demotivator, especially if what you're doing requires the person's support that's doing the harm. From my experience, anything that's going to take you to another level in ANY area is worth fighting for! A sign to know that you're doing what you're supposed to be doing is when there's NOTHING but opposition!!! I mean opposition just seems to be everywhere. That's when the king side of us comes in and makes war and kings are to stay at war for EVERYTHING that's right for them and their family! We can't layback and just let life live us!! IT'S TIME FOR US TO LIVE LIFE! I encourage all to dream again, believe again, ALL that God has shown you about what your life is supposed be like RIGHT NOW! Ask Him to show you how to obtain that which He's shown you. Then PRESS THROUGH and don't leave any vision, dream, or goal unfinished!! ~Levite~ (King & Priest)

I Want to Be Rich!

Today there are many questions regarding the dichotomy of rapping for God and being poor, vs. rapping for God and being rich, and if one is better than the other. So many Gospel rappers criticize others for having money because they associate it with the world and all its corruption. They indicate through their lyrics that they would rather be poor and have Jesus, than have money. But how can we fulfill Jesus request to preach the Gospel to the nations unless we have money to finance the mission trips, record the albums and sponsor the concerts that display the Kingdom of Heaven through our lyrics.

The mistake most gospel rappers make is receiving Jesus the Savior without receiving His kingdom which was the only thing Jesus ever talked about. In short, the Kingdom was presented to us as a gift to restore the dominion we originally had before Adam gave it up. To break it down briefly, God gave Adam dominion over the whole earth and everything was under mans rule. Adam forfeited his dominion to satan by eating the forbidden fruit, which we refer to today as the fall of man. Jesus restored that by teaching us how to live righteously, then dyeing on the cross so we could have full access to the dominion that Adam lost. Unfortunately we are still forfeiting our dominion today by saying things like, “Jesus hates money”.

Dominion is simply ones rulership over his domain. Consider this – If you didn’t have money to pay your house note for 3 or 4 months, chances are you would be evicted ultimately forfeiting your right to live in your dominion area. Another family would eventually move in and dominate what used to be your dominion area. The music industry is the same way. Because we have leaders who in the faith refuse to accumulate wealth to sponsor Gods word and reveal his message to the nations, the secular music industry has taken our dominion area in music. The simple truth is that in order to get it back we need some cash! So to answer the question, I’ll take rapping for God rich over rapping for God poor any day.

Look At Cha Wordz!

The Bible constantly reminds us of how powerful the tongue truly is. I mean if you stop and think about it God said.... and then there was. Since we're made in His image and likeness, that same capability is in our speaking! Have you had nothing but complaints coming out of your mouth lately? How about the songs that you've been reciting... Are they bringing glory to the King or even speaking life into ANY of your situations? I challenge everybody to watch how they talk and also what they're talking about. A food for thought is: A lot of people talk, but they're not necessarily talking about ANYTHING!!!! Shalom! ~Levite~ (King & Priest)

What Do we Talk About

Hip Hop has been talking about the same thing for years. Jay z just said in an interview, "We been talking about the same things for years. It's getting old so now what do we talk about". I encourage young artist to make a shift in the game. Give the people something that's worth listen to, be creative with your music. The majority of the songs out right now are too predictable. We wouldn't watch movies that repeat the same plots over and over again, it would start to get boring. Whenever a movie is released they try to put meaning to them. And make it different from other movies. So stop talking about the same things, be unique from other artist, it will pay off. (Disguise)

What do you require?

A lot of times when we pray we come to the King with a grocery list of things. Though some may happen this is not the way to get His attention! What we should ask more than what we desire, admire, or want is for Him to reveal His plan for our lives. With revelation comes increase.... I charge you from now on to will your life over to do His will. Then you allow His kingdom to come into EVERY area of your life. Matt 6:33! Shalom! ~Levite~ (King & Priest)
