During this time of year I often reflect of my past. Why? I don't know but I seem to reflect more during this time... Allow me if you will to vent!! I have realized that even through my mental and emotional transitioning times I am weak. Yes although I am told I am STRONG over and over again by family and friends, right now and at times I feel completely weak and yet I press on....
The strength that I have is none other than what is provided unto me by my Creator. Lord knows the trouble I bear during these times and even though things may seem JUST FINE I'm at in war inside; Inside my mind and spirit. I have learned though, time and time again that this is the time to GO HARD!! To worship with wisdom and all I have within me. I have to tap into my inner self and allow the spirit of Most High to guide me as only Yah can.
I know you might say, what is she talking about? It seems as though she is speaking in riddles. Well when you have gone through all what I have and then some, then you too may comprehend. Ya see this life is a journey that I did not plan, yet I must walk in the shoes that fit me. The bible tells me in............
Romans 8:6
The mind of a sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is Life and Peace.
This is the reason I remind myself to refocus when this time of year comes around. I must stay focused with my mind stayed on Most High. Because the mind is so miraculous and yet corrupt in the same it must be told what to do. That can only happen when your spirit leads your mind in the direction your heart desires. I have decided that even through these times I will open my mind, soul, and heart unto my Creator, that I may live with life and peace.
Yes it gets hard sometimes, Really HARD! But I stay holding onto my Faith what I believe while remembering what God has already done for me. When I need to feel the touch of my Creator I go out and let the wind caress my face. I inhale the air that was put here just for me..(and you too). I look into the skies and admire the clouds that grace the atmospere. I listen to nature calling out to it's own.... Then I realize I was created by The Almighty and whatever this transition phase is ...it too will pass.
So I PRAISE, PRAY, WORSHIP, MOAN, CRY, and MEDITATE on the Spirit. I open myself up to all that shall and will come...VICTORY, JOY, PEACE, LOVE, and COMFORT.
I am truly thankful now for through this piece God has ministered to my soul through The Holy Spirit. For this I am truly thankful. Thank you El Elyon, Elohim, Adonai....No Words can express how I truly feel thank you for Loving me. And thank you Blog fam for letting me vent....
If you wish to allow your mind to be guided by the spirit of Most High pray this prayer:
Lord fill my mind with your thoughts, give me insight to your ways, help me to appreciate your wisdom. Let my mind behold your glory. Grant me life and peace through your spirit. Amen
Peace and Blessings, Sistah Kenya... 2009

Ask For Wisdom, While You Are a Fool!!
As posted on http://www.theinkwell.ning.com/ by Michelle Reed, Check it out!!
I have often kept my mouth closed and not asked for wisdom from God because I have not felt worthy of asking Him, or because I have been in condemnation and guilt over my recent foolishness.Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate. - Proverbs 24:7
This verse says that the very act shows that my heart is foolish. Matthew Henry concise commentary on the Bible says of this verse: “A weak man thinks wisdom is too high for him, therefore he will take no pains for it.”
GOD WANTS YOU TO ASK
Sometimes we don’t know God’s word and promises and that is why we know not what to ask for. In one of my favorite scriptures in the bible, Jesus tells us that we can seek and we shall find and that our Father wants to bless us."Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!" - Luke 11:11-13
IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU OR YOUR FOOLISHNESS
Sometimes I forget and I still think that this thing is about me, and not about God and His character, and so in my foolish state I don’t ask for wisdom, thinking it is unattainable to me. I think 'I am not worthy and have made too many mistakes to ask for wisdom at this point." or "I know better than this, God is going to be mad with me and is tired of me asking for wisdom." But what does the scripture say?If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. – James 1:5
This makes me excited! This scripture annuls the lies of the enemy who says I cannot have wisdom or you cannot have wisdom. God will not only give you wisdom, but will give generously without finding fault in you for your foolishness so far!FAITH AND EXPECTANCYKeep reading because there are conditions! Listen carefully to the next verse in James:But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. – James 1:6
DOUBT.... If you don’t believe, then not only will you become unstable like the wind tossing the sea, your doubt will come to life. If you doubt, then you are right to doubt because you won’t get anything from the Lord. Read it in James 1:7. That man [who doubts when asking for wisdom] should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; - James 1:7
Henry Ford’s famous quote comes to mind “whether you think you can or you think you can’t you are right." As does another proverb: As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.
– Proverbs 23:7
GOD REWARDS YOU FOR SEEKING HIM... Are you thinking of seeking God for wisdom? Then you are already on the path of seeking Him. The very suggestion to your mind to seek wisdom is from the Holy Spirit. And as you seek Him, He is pleased with you!And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. - Hebrews 6:11
DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FAITH?
GOD HAS THAT COVERED TOO. His word is a lamp to our paths and a light to our footsteps. Know what’s in it so you can draw wisdom from inside as the Holy Spirit quickens you and reminds you all of the Word you have read. Reading the Word will increase your faith too:So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. - Romans 10:17
If you don’t feel you have faith, take a faith the size of a mustard seed and believe on it. To increase faith, pray and fast for a while. Sow into the spirit and you’ll gain harvest from it. Jesus said this [faith] comes only from fasting and prayer." 'If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for him who believes."Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!" Mark 9:23-24
After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, "Why couldn't we drive it out?"He replied, "This kind can come out only by fasting and prayer. Mark 9:28-29 Take a mustard seed size of faith and believe God for wisdom. He will lead you on your path.
DON’T THINK YOU HAVE STRENGTH?
- ANOTHER THING WISDOM IS GOOD FOR
Many times I thought "I'm a strong person" but if you really saw me in the midst of some adversities and heard me complain and go back to my default thinking, you'd see I was deceived and was not strong after all. Times are hard when the devil is coming after us, our flesh is ruling us and circumstances get in the way of taking on the thoughts of God as our own! Hear what God says through His wise man, King Solomon about wisdom providing strength:If you faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. – Proverbs 24:10
I am still learning to walk and live stronger and God has delivered me from so much weakness in my life by giving me wisdom. When adversity comes, give it to God. Seek wisdom and it will strengthen you –A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength. It is yours for the taking. – Proverbs 24: 5
GET THIS! When you go to the gate of wisdom, open your mouth and ask for it. God will help you and won’t find fault with you for asking. Even when circumstances look like they are not changing, go ahead and believe that He is giving you wisdom. God will give wisdom and in wisdom there is strength. So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou has found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off. - Proverbs 24:14
PRAYER:
Our Father who art in heaven, Holy is your name, we ask for Your wisdom, strength, faith in Jesus name and believe that You will give it to us. Help us in our time of tribulation to cheer up and put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Help us to ask You for the good gifts You want to give us. Bring us revelation in Your love letter to us, Your Bible and give us the discipline and thirst for righteousness to read it and spend time with You through prayer and fasting.
AMEN
