Can You Smell What The Rock Is Cooking?

I wonder, I really really wonder.....
Can you smell what Christ Jesus the solid Rock is cooking?
Well I do... and it smells oh soooo good. In fact, it's the best smell that I've ever smelt in my entire life.

RIBS

Ribs???, yes ribs!!! But not just any ribs. God is cooking up my Baby-back rib and I smell her sizzling all of the way up the interstate! mmmm.... mmmm..... good!

Over the past few years I have come to realize that there are:
* "Spare rib women",
* "Baby-back rib women", and then
* "fruity men with an extra rib"... lol. hahahahaha
I'm so glad that we finally weeded out all of the "Spare" ribs. Now I got room for my Baby-back!

Hallelujah, glory to ya!

"Time Is Tissue"

Saturday night I treated myself to a movie... "Snakes On A Plane". Wonderful wonderful wonderful movie. It had my attention the entire time. I will say this:

(# 1) If you are scared of snakes, I would NOT go see this movie. It had me clenches the theatre seats and holding my breath (at certain parts)
(# 2) If you are a child, or a person trying to abstain from sex then I would CLOSE my eyes during part of this video.
There is nudity with nothing really hidden. It was during this part of the movie that I turned my head around only to see a teenage Caucasian couple stretched out having sex on the the row directly behind me in the theatre. I felt like I was in the lion's den. hahahahaha. Booty was shaking all around, and I'm trying to live right.....ya feel me!
On a brighter note I picked up a new quote, compliments of the Doc.
"Make it Fast, Time is Tissue!"
I would recommend that you see this movie. Knowing me, I'll probably go see it again too.

What A Blower!

Bro Jay's Dictionary

blower
n. blower

1. Some type of situation or circumstance that blows you.
   

adj. blown

1. A state of being in which one experiences a moment of utter disgust and/or sheer disappointment.
   

Looking back over the last 6 hours of this morning, all I can say is: "What A Blower!".

I had a dream last night (early this morning) that was so real, so in my face, and such a blower that I woke up blown! Really, the dream was so real that I thought it actually happened. It took me an additional 10 minutes post-waking up to realize that it was just in-fact only a dream. Despite my best efforts, this feeling carried through and set the course for my drive to work. Somehow I forgot it was back to school day. Traffic was insanely heavy, so I just knew I would be late to work, blower! I ended up behind a school bus that had to stop at ever railroad, which is good, but still a blower! Then I ended up behind a white utility van, geeez.... but I can't complain because whoever was driving put the pedal to the metal. BUT just then a firetruck responding to an emergency jumps in front of us, blower! Not only that but the rescue truck travels the same direction I'm heading, blower. Then it stops right in front of us. Blower, blower, blower! So after I whisper a prayer for the victims I got back to being blown.... hahahah... figures, but shortly after, I start to get a grip as I'm listening to "I Told The Storm". I just knew that I would be extremely late to work, but I made it in at 8:07am... WoooHoooo. So then I'm feeling better.

So now,
now,

I am totally blown to
little crispity chewy chocolate bite-size pieces.

God Help Me!

The End.

Ain't Nobody Mad But The Devil

This morning I'm writing because I'm frustrated!! Absolutely heated! I'm upset about what's been going on since I moved home in '04, but as a Christian in the line of fire, I expect it. HOWEVER, I'm extremely disappointed in the actions (non-actions) of my fellow "Brothers & Sisters in Christ". And the question that I have for them is, "Do you love me?"
So today I just want to set the record straight and slay some devils by, clearing up some issues, beseeching my Brothers & Sisters in Christ and ultimately declaring that "Ain't Nobody Mad But The Devil!"

Background
Okay. Since I've returned home from college God has placed me in a position of leadership in Ministry. I have been teaching Sunday School and have spoken at a few engagements at both my home church and churches abroad. Ultimately I've also taken on the task of ensuring that our Worship Team is effective in not only ushering in the presence of the Lord but sparking a spirit and attitude of Praise & Worship into the hearts and the minds of the congregation. With all that said, I have gotten and am still receiving reports of people spreading vicious lies and rumors about me. To be honest, most of the stuff is just plain 'ol stupid! In my opinion what makes matters worse is that my fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ are spreading this crap! But ask me if anybody has ever personally come to me........ NOPE, not even once!

To The Haters
Wheeeeww........ What in the world did I ever do to you? Except preach and teach you the Word of God uncompromised. Well anyway, STOP THE RUMORS. They are not true!

• NO, I do NOT live with my ex-girlfriend!
• NO, My ex-girlfriend does NOT live with me!
• In fact I have NEVER lived with anyone besides my immediate family!
• NO, I do NOT have secret babies running around Maryland!
• NOPE, I've NEVER had any children out of wedlock (Praise God)!

Haters......., out of all the things to say about me and people that you could accuse me of living with, why on earth would you pick my ex-girlfriend??? Wouldn't it make more sense for me to be living with my CURRENT lady? DUH!!!! Just Stop It! It's ridiculous and it doesn't make any sense at all. Lastly, why haven't you approached me about it? Probably b/c you're doing the same thing.
Whatever!

To My Bro & Sis In Christ
Come here a sec..... closer....closer. Since you like listening to and spreading garbage come here.... "lemme whisper in your ear". I got some juicy news to tell you. Listen to this. I am absolutely disgusted with you. Why on earth are you listening to all of this crap. Why on earth are you continuing the spread of this crap. And why on earth haven't you approached me about this crap! Do You Love Me?....... I mean really, Do You Really Love Me? If you love me then why haven't you came to me in love???
Galatians 6:1 says... "Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted."
If you truly loved me and honestly think I'm engaging in sinful practices then according to the bible you are supposed to come to me, in love, in hopes of restoring me back to right fellowship with God! Now let's see...... that has happened to me.....ummmm...... ZERO times in the past two years. Some friends you are..... Some friends you are. Listen, PLEASE love me enough to look out for me. Don't let me go down the wrong path. Don't let me go to hell. Telling others about my problem without confronting me does nothing to help the situation at all. It only makes it worse.

Lastly
I'm still excited,
My joy still remains.
Through all these earthly worries,
And all these earthly pains.
You can't stop my progress,
I'm going to another level.
That's why I sit back and smile,
'Cuz "Ain't Nobody Mad But The Devil!"

God Bless You All!

Too Much To Be Seated

At about 5:40am this morning I woke up, and immediately I felt the Lord confirming this great truth in my life.

"I've given you too much to be seated! Too much. I didn't waste anything on you. You can't just sit back on the sidelines and watch. At times you have felt like sitting down, at times you have felt like giving up, at times you have felt like throwing in the towel, why, because you haven't understood why you have to go through what you do. You say that a true child called by God for service shouldn't go through anything. But I've clearly showed you in my Word where many things were endured for my name's sake. Look at Hannah. By nature, she is the favored of God b/c that's what her name means. HOWEVER, just like you saw in the my Word, she was the favored of God but it didn't look like it. Also, look at Joseph. He dreamed that people would be bowing to him, but in the meantime.......He was sold into slavery, falsely accused of rape, thrown in prison, and forgotten about.....all to be put in position to interpret Pharaoh's dream which ultimately put him in a mighty mighty mighty position to save his family. So you see my son, all of those trials he went through were to get him into position. Jay, you can't stop now, you can't give up. It won't all make sense to you now, but just know:
I've given you too much to be seated!"

Yes, You're A Minister!

Hey friend!

Did you know that you are a Minister??
Yes, yes, yes I know that you don't feel a call to "Minister" on your life, and you haven't gone to bible school, and you haven't read through the entire bible 3 to 4 times front-to-back. Yes, I'm quite well aware of that.
And again I say, Did you know that you are a Minister??
Yes, You're A Minister, whether you realize it or not. See God has called all of his children to the same ministry, the Ministry of Reconciliation that is. The mere solitary fact that you are saved (have accepted Christ into your life and your heart) qualifies you! Please don't let the words "Minister" or "Reconciliation" fool you or trip you up. In short a Minister is nothing more than a "Servant". Unfortunately today we've allowed the word Minister to go straight to the pride section of our inflated heads, and now instead of serving others - we demand to be served. Reconciliation is nothing more than the act of reconciling or bringing mankind back in right fellowship, communication, and good standing with God. God's word is very clear about our Ministry marching orders. According to 2 Corinthians 5:18-21, He's given everyone the ministry of reconciliation.

2 Cor 5:18-21
18 And all things are of God, who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses to them; and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be you reconciled to God.
21 For he has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him

How awesome is that! Not only are we all entrusted with this ministry and word of reconciliation, but verse 20 lets us know that we are also Ambassadors for Christ. What a privilege and a honor!

My Minister Internet Buddy, please remember, it's not always a matter of finding out if you should go out and reconcile or not. God has already sent us into the world and told us to go:

Matt 28:19-20
19 Go you therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatever I have commanded you: and, see, I am with you always, even to the end of the world. Amen.

Minister Internet Buddy, I pray that God would give you power and boldness as you spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to those around you. Reconciliation doesn't have to take place from across a pulpit. You can reconcile those around you in your normal everyday situations of life. Your friends, family members, co-workers, neighbors, and classmates are all waiting on you!

God bless you,
~Min. Jay

The Devil's Too Late

Wow, this morning I arose from bed with a smile on my face, just full of the joy of the Lord. My attitude of gratitude remain through-out my morning routine all the way until I got in the car to head to work. Once I got in the car I decided to turn the radio off... why? Well I wanted to have my own praise party. When you groove with the radio, your praise party goes according to the DJ. But I learned a long time ago how to praise God all by myself. It doesn't take an organ, a bass, and a fast drum beat to get me there. But when I think about his gooooodness....AHHHHHHH hey hey, ta ta. Wheeeeeew. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..Glory!
Okay, I'm back. Wheeeeew. As I drove into work I thought about how the enemy has been trying to take me out and this song came to mind:

Too late
The Devil's too late
He should've killed me when he had the chance
But now I'm heading for the promise land
I was addicted
You would not know
Now that he's cleaned me up it doesn't show
I love Jesus
Because of Jesus
The Devil's too late

Hallelujah to the King of Kings. I mean really, who wouldn't serve a God like mine..... I mean c'mon, even a heathen like King Nebuchanezer finally broke down and acknowledged that our God is the God of all gods and Lord of Kings!!!!!!

(Dan 2:47)
The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.

To God Be The Glory!

Rebuke, Press ,Pray, & Praise

Look at 'cha neighbor and say:
"Neighbor" (Neighbor)
"The battle" (The battle)
"Is in" (Is in)
"Your mind!" (Your mind)

Does anybody's mind work overtime like mine? I mean really, I have to constantly tell my mind to shut-up! Anyway, this morning.....wheeeew, this morning was a rough one. I woke up like an hour late, my body was racked with pain, and if that wasn't enough there was a spirit of depression hovering over me and trying to attach itself to me. It was there trying to make me feel like a looser for all of my past failures. Trying to make me feel worthless. Trying to make me feel that nobody wanted me. Geeeeez. (Oh, yall act like you don't know what I'm talking about). I almost gave in and slipped back into the enemy's clutches but Praise be unto God for the words of life that my sweetheart text'd to me.

"U need to rebuke that spirit...press..pray and praise! Muah"

Just then I did as she suggested! I began to (out loud) rebuke those spirits off of my life, off of my car, out of my atmosphere, everything. I started praying hard. Trust and believe, it was a serious press. I could feel it so heavy, and so strong....arrrrrggghhhhh. It was sooo strong that I burst out into tears. I have no idea how I didn't crash because I couldn't see a thing. Anyway after all of that I just began to put on the garment of praise to get rid of that sucky spirit of heaviness! And I continued praising God the rest of the way to work, as I parked my car, and as I slowly walked to my desk. I just thank God that my eyes weren't swollen.

I praise God that my past doesn't determine my future!
Hallelujah!
Amen!

Javelins Spears & Daggers

Why do I always get the javelins,
spears, and daggers???
Sometimes I feel like David......

(1Sa 18:11) "And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice."

Below are two crazy experiences......

The other day while I was in prayer God showed me a vision that was quite interesting. I was sitting in a church (not mine), praise and worship was over, the offering had been collected, and now it was time for the Word! To my surprise the Pastor told me to go up and preach. As I walked up there everyone was smiling, sitting intently, waiting to receive a Word from Goaud! Just as soon as I stepped up to the podium I notice everyone's smiling face. I saw their excitement and anticipation to hear me speak. But then all of a sudden, as if someone gave a cue, demons started sliding out to the left from behind most of the people. They were dark forms with shape, but I instantly knew that they were demons. And I'm not just talking about a few... the entire church was full of them. After they appeared, they all started loudly hissing directly at me. I felt like I was in a room full of snakes. But as I continued to look, the congregation still sat there unbeknownst to the mayhem that was taking place. Their faces still smiling. Both excitement and anticipation still ravished their faces. And then, as if another cue had been given, the demons start throwing spears at me. Literally throwing real spears. It reminded me of the book of 1 Samuel, how Saul used to launch spears at David. It seemed like everyone they threw at me hit me. Although in real life as I was praying, I could not feel a thing... in the vision it was a totally different story. IT HURT SOOOOO BAD. It hurt so bad. It hurt so bad that I leaned on the podium in agony. The pain was crippling and I remember crying. I wept like a big baby. I cried and the spears flew. And the spears flew and I cried, still leaning on the podium. At this point I was clenching the podium to keep from falling and I started speaking in tongues. Then in the midst of speaking, crying, and being struck by spears (which by the way didn't cut me or make me bleed, but they just kinda went right in me and through me) God started speaking to me. I felt like Stephen. In the midst of them stoning him to death everything paused as he peered into heaven and at that point nothing else really mattered or existed. Yup, that's exactly how I felt. I have NO clue what God said to me that day. But it was definitely him and it was definitely timely. As he began to talk to me I felt strength begin to rise up inside of me. More and More and More, to the point where now I was standing on my own two feet, no longer leaning on the podium. I had stopped crying and now I had gotten upset, with the anger of the Lord. And with his strength and power backing me, I began to rebuke the enemy and declare those things which he clearly spoke to me. I spoke exactly what he told me to say, and I said it with confidence, with boldness, and with might! ....... and then the vision ended.
Today, I still have no clue what he spoke to me, or what I declared to the people.

Last year there was a certain individual who had joined the church. Long story short, he began to spread lies and rumors about me.....just stupid stuff. (Excuse me for one moment, but sometimes the enemy's stuff is just sooo retarded)....ok, I'm back. Anyway I'll never forget this particular Sunday morning. Somehow this person got elected to make an announcement about something. And as I'm sitting upfront, behind, and to the left of this person talking, it happened. This person looked over at me with the most totally nasty look on their face and then turned back and kept talking. Well just then I felt somebody run up on me (to my left) and stab me in my left side (right under my rib) with a short dagger. I immediately jumped out of my chair and kinda made a little yell out. Then I looked to my left to tell whoever it was that did that (probably some little kid) to stop playing b/c church isn't over yet. Well when I looked to my left, nobody was there. When I looked to my right, nobody was there. So now I'm looking around like... "Alright, who's the wise person playing games with me?" At this point everybody in church (who noticed) is now looking at me like I'm crazy. One, for jumping up during the announcements, and Two, for now frantically looking around for something that did not exist and Three, for holding my left side. But listen to me, even if you're blind, you can tell when someone walks up on you. You can feel them and sense their presence. Well not only did I sense their presence but I felt them. I felt their shape, and I felt their size. SOMETHING RAN UP ON ME! Talk about shock, embarrassment, and PAIN! OMG that hurt soooooooooooooooooooo bad! Once my heart rate returned to normal, God spoke to me and showed me where and WHO the attack had come from. Guess who...yup!
Isn't that crazy!

This fight that I fight
is not against flesh and blood!
Regardless though,
I am victorious!
I am more than a conqueror!
Hallelujah!

Lord I Hurt

Lord I hurt
Lord I feel
The reality of this pain
Is oh-so real
I can touch my head
But barely my heel
Cloaked with a smile
But you know the deal
Extremely hungry
Scared to eat a meal
Lord this is gross
But I'm just "keepin' it real"
I'm full of your spirit
Endowed with a zeal
As I write you this prayer
Humbly I kneel
'Cause Lord I hurt
Lord I feel
But you have the power
Power to heal
~Amen~

Be Hot Or Cold

Listen up all!
I need you to do me a favor.
Either be Hot or Cold for Jesus, or just get out of the way before you get spit up & stepped on!

Many Christians today have been totally fooled by the lie of the enemy. They think can live any type of way that they please and as long as they "still attend Sunday Service on a regular basis", that they are pleasing in the sight of God. Absolutely not. Church should not be attended so that you can receive some type of attendance badge of honor! As if that would truly hold up in heaven. See the reality of the matter is this: Yes you might've gone to church this Sunday. And yes, when the Worship Leader declared unto you that everything that has breath should praise the Lord, you even felt a little tingle as you started clapping your hands. And yes, you loudly repeated the "God is Good All the Time" quote. And yes, you may have even got excited and started shouting and speaking in tongues. And yes, when the Preacher came forth with the word you didn't fall asleep but you actively took notes. And yes, when service was over you even stayed a little longer than usual to greet the 'saints' as they left the sanctuary. And yes, yes, yes, yes..... While this can all be true and often is for a lot of people, there are some more shocking truths as well. See the average Christian does not attend Sunday School nor Bible Study. Their time with the Lord comes in through whatever programs are going on in Sunday Morning Service. Let's just say about 3 hours. Well, 3 hours is 180 mins. Did you know that there are 1,440 mins in a day, and 10,080 mins in a week!!!

So minister Jr what are you saying????

What I am saying is that a lot of people pat themselves on the back (as if they have truly done something spectacular) when they go to church. They actually boast about giving God 180/10,080 mins during the course of this week (1.785%). 180 is all God gets because just a soon as they leave church, they are no longer greeting people with that love they just had. Those hands that just earlier in church were being raised and clapped for Jesus, are now operating in Idol Worship and being used to raise a praise for the devil! That tongs that was speaking as the "spirit" gave utterance is now being used to cuss out family members. And all throughout the week they live a completely different lifestyle than the one they portray on Sunday Mornings. YOU'RE LUKEWARM, and who likes lukewarm coffee?? Who likes take a lukewarm shower?? NO ONE!. God has called us to be the salt of the earth, but many of us aren't salty at all. The spirit of the Anti-Christ has crept in our hearts and minds and that ever so famous lie resonates in our bellies.. .. .. .. .. .. "As long I go to church!".

Here is what God has to say about that:

Rev. 3:16-17
(16) I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
(17) So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

God is not pleased or impressed with your little "straddle the fence" mentality. Actually I don't even believe there is a fence..... in my opinion, you're either for the Lord or you're against him. There is NO gray!
And sadly enough, there will be MANY MANY MANY Sunday attenders that will be spued straight into Hell....how unfortunate.

My prayer is that you would make the choice to live for God and to live for him alone..BE HOT..come hell or high water!
BUT DON'T PLAY.... because it's better to Be Hot or Cold.

Pee-Mobile

Those of you who have been reading my blogs know that my Pee-Mobile MDA broke. Well guess what, it gets better and then it gets worse.
Last Friday I finally worked it all out with Pee-Mobile and they decided to ship me a replacement which should arrive in 3 business days. Well I got the phone today and guess what. It's BROKE!!!!!! Who in the world sends a broken phone as a replacement for another broken one. The broken one wouldn't even get past the initial Pee-Mobile Boot Screen. Talk about furious.
So from now on, I've decided to call T-Mobile - Pee-Mobile.
Amen!
Amen!

Popin Purple Praise Profile

It's 7:50am and you're at work but your shift doesn't start for another 10 minutes and you have on a Purple button up with a collar. What Do You Do?

Well first I had to use the facilities. Once in there I got to thinking about the goodness of the Lord........ and I had to lift my hands in Praise.....yup, right next to the stalls!!

Back at my desk.....
I have an idea!

But first, I've got to see how much more time I have to kill.
hmmmmmmm......

Let us Raise our Purple Collar!

Let us Raise our Purple Collar with shades on!

Let us Raise our Purple Collar with shades on and then Pop it!

Let us Raise our Purple Collar with shades on then Pop it and lean to the side!

Let us Raise our Purple Collar with shades on then Pop it and to lean to the side and then lean back!

Just when you thought it was over.........

Let us Pop it with a screwdriver :)

You must understand
I did what any respectable young man wearing a purple shirt to work would do.
I Popped It, Praised with it, and then Profiled!

What Do I Do Now?

So this morning I asked myself the question. I said,
"Self, What Do I Do Now?"
and my self said,
"Uhhhh, I have no idea but, you should probably get ready for work!".

I wonder....... Have you ever prayed to God for something that you truly desired?
NO NO NO,
I mean really really really really really prayed! To the point where you were crying, laying prostrate, snottin', spittin' and rolling around on the floor (w/people fanning you only then to be covered by some old lady's scarf)??? .... lol. If and only if you have, then I think you might understand my Question Mark today.

I thought about it; In church we are soooo conditioned to believe God for our breakthrough, for our miracle, for our husband, wife, children, raise, house, etc.... The sermons always seem to be: "Pressing Toward Your Miracle", "Your Faith Will Bring The Increase", "How To Hold On To Your Promise", "Help Is On The Way", "10 Steps To Your Blessing". Please don't get confused, I'm not dealing with prosperity preaching right now. What I'm referring to is how the sermons are usually geared towards the steps, process, and how-to's of Getting-To-Your-Destiny...... but what the heck do you do once you get there?????? I mean really! I've taken all of the advice. I've believed God for it. I didn't wait until the battle was over, but I shouted for it before it happened. I kept the faith. I spoke those things that were not as though they were. I DID IT. I DID IT ALL. So, once you finally get there, once you get that thing that you've been up late at night praying for, once you make it to your land of milk & honey; WHAT DO YOU DO NOW? again I asked...... What do you do?

---

So, of course I called on my Daddy in heaven, and as usual, he spoke to me :)
He said and is still saying more but I'm tired of typing so I'll briefly share two things.

First, Father reminded me of Proverbs 5:5-6
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
Funny to think about it but he told me that once you get into your land of milk & honey you STILL NEED him to direct your path lest you forget! All of our worries, concerns and fears should be placed in his hand, b/c our own understanding is so miniscule and flaky at best. It's truly amazing that some of us have even made it this far leaning on our own understanding.... but then again, that's why we end up in so much mess!

Secondly, Father said turn to 1 Samuel chapter 2. He reminded me of how Hannah was barren of children, and b/c of it how she was tormented by her adversary, and how she desperately desired a man child. She was so vexed that the bible said one time she didn't even eat and she wept before God with so much fierce passion that only her lips moved but no sound was present. She gets up, believes God for her miracle and goes on with a difference countanace. Well, God brings her into her milk & honey. She conceived and bore a son named Samuel.
So what did she do then????
Hannah dedicated her blessing back to the Lord! (1 Sam 1:28)
Then, she had a praise party! (1 Sam 2:1-10)

Well I'm tired of writing, hopefully you get the point.
I would love to hear some of your comments about how you've handled arriving into your promise land!!
Go ahead...... Post A Comment!

Tired & Excited

Wow, today I am both Tired & Excited!
Somehow I feel like things are finally starting to come together in my life. Don't get me wrong, God has always had everything under control but...... let's just say, "I'm starting to see the good in everything" that I've experienced in the past. Often times when we're right in the thick of things it seems impossible to grasp the "complete picture". But it's only when we step back, and look at everything, that we can truly see the puzzle-craftmenship of our Lord. Every experience that I've been through (good or bad) has shaped me into the person that I am today. By no means do I suddenly see it all, I wish....(hence my Lord Give Me A Glimpse blog entry), but, I understand it all just a little better than I did before.

H.A.B.O
