"I need to be more confident in myself"

A brother in Christ wrote: I can't fully explain this but I need acting/performance abilities, like a spirit that helps me to act much better and more confident. I prayed on it, but nothing and I got an exam next week

 My response:

What you need are wisdom and understanding. You want to be more confident in what yourself?  It’s awesome that you are not confident in yourself. What is there to celebrate about your fallen nature? What you should be confident in is Jesus Christ. You need to realize who and what you are in Him. You have a lack of confidence because you’re motioning your regenerated spirit to be pleased with a dead carcass (your fallen nature). You need to be in practice studying the scriptures and live in your divine spirit through the flesh (showing the fruits of God).
You can ask God for strength at times where you’re feeble because the flesh can be puffed up.

 1. Do not give into its temptation (ex. Sexual desires)
2. Do not watch what you shouldn’t watch (ex. Family Guy and South Park).
3. Do not listen to the filth of this world (ex. Beyoncé CD’s and Jay-Z CD).
4. Do not hang out with worldly people (ex. Your giving demons an open the door to attach your spirit)
5. Do not exalt yourself (ex. I am better than everyone).

If you want your flesh to remain a certain level, you can’t feed it with all this gross spoilage.

Another way to decrease your flesh is by fasting and feeding your spirit. You should feed your spirit with prayer, reading the word, and be staying consecrated in Him.

If you are not doing any of these things above to tame your flesh, I hope you are repentant. Then you can ask God for external and internal strength, but I suggest you take away the filth of your life to (you need to do your part). If you are doing these things and you face difficulty showing fruits of God, it is necessary to ask for strength, but it is a sign you need to be in deep prayer and consecration. Suffering like this only happens occasionally to a believer because your strength and endurance are being tested by God.

You all ought to know "never leave a PROPHET empty Handed".

A sister in Christ messaged me: I heard that one should never go to a prophet empty handed. Since you were able to help me with dream interpretations and get me on the right track I would like to send you a gift of my appreciation. Thank you and God bless. Note: (Some portions of the message have been taken out due to personal content associated with the messenger and receiver). My Response: I wonder where you heard “never leave a prophet empty handed." If someone told me that then I’d go ask for help from a prophet and then they would assist me. After I’d say, “hold out your hand." I‘d put my hand in their hand and bless them with the name of Jesus by faith saying “God bless you. ” Now that is more richer than green pieces of paper wouldn’t you think? It is not great prophecy speaking over a person saying,  “God bless you?" Especially,  if it’s from a believer, you have been blessed by through God. Praying is like a petition before God (Philippians 4:6). How mu...

The White Church (poem) Black History Month

My mother asked me to write a poem for her conservative Pentecostal Church about God and Black History. February is Black History month. Time passed, and I forgot to write it.  My mother gave me a reminder on Saturday when she needed it the next day February 24, 2013.  It needed to be a limited length because it will be on a program. To write a good poem, it takes me 3 or 4 hours. Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, “Why don’t we do it together." I said “sure” excitedly. We finished it in an hour or less. This is the result. Enjoy! We hope you are blessed by it. Title: The White Church She sings in the gallows of the city She sings in the rain She sings She sing’s “I need thee.” Plea, my Chosen unto Heaven She sings She sings, “I will drink your leaven.” Come upon the road and till your ground She sings she sings, “turn around.” Work thy fields and gather thy gin (clean raw cotton) She sings She sings, “low my sin.” Fin She becomes black and sown with hollo...

Chillian on a Volcano with God

I spent the whole entire day with God. I would have to say it has been more than my usual ten hours. It's 12:06 am right now, and I was researching other blogs. I’m curious about other people’s lives; although I couldn’t find a blog that was written in English, not associated with porn, and exalting boring ads on their webpages.   When I find a decent blog, I’m sure to mention that person. Why are you writing again, Jasmine? You know I find writing fun. It is rejuvenating. I think about it as a recording of my mind I can read later. I love photography because it’s capturing a scenario of time that I can keep to myself. I have always had a very artistic soul; I just don’t show it a lot.  Why do you write questions to yourself and then answer them, when you write? You know, you are going to be seeing that a lot if you read my blog posts. I want to make sure that people understand what I’m talking about. I put questions before I write a paragraph as a replacement...
