What is it to you?

While Jesus was giving Peter his assignment, Peter noticed the one Jesus loved and inquired. This inquiry could have distracted Peter. Jesus dismantled the distraction by asking Peter "what is it to you?"

Why are Christians consumed with matters that are not their business? Why do they feel they should know about peoples affairs?

I pray people will get to a point that if they sense something to just pray. People do have the right to have a private life.

The Word encourages us not to be a busy body in another man's matters. The best way to resolve curiosity is to approach the individual you are seeking information about and just talk!!

Souls

Being about souls involves taking people from the initial process of salvation, to being filled with the Holy Spirit, to learning the ways of God, and then being a disciple of Christ. You cannot be about the souls if you are not committed to seeing people prosper! Souls need more than a revival meeting or a conference. Like a surgeon, one must be skilled in soul transformation. Wisdom wins souls, skill keeps them.

Souls have endured years of trauma and are in need of treatment. Treatment must focus on inner healing! Inner healing solidifies psychological maintenance, extracts emotional disparities, and frees hostage hearts. Souls, subconsciously, suppress years of hurt, rejection, bitterness, pain, abandonment, loneliness, rape, molestation, and abuse. Listed above are the disorders of the soul we will encounter. 

As Jesus said, "those that are sick need the physician"(Mark 2:17). A physician is a skilled health-care professional trained and licensed to practice. Training is vital when recruiting souls for the kingdom of God. When the soul prospers internally it will illuminate externally.

Value the voice!!

The voice of your leader is validated by God to nourish and sustain your spirit. "The Priest lips should keep knowledge,"  Malachi 2:7. Why, however, are sons and daughters not promoting and circulating the words from their Priest? Could it be that they themselves do not believe the words that God is transmitting through the Priest?

As a son or daughter you should always promote your leaders message. It is a sign that you believe in the God that is speaking through them.

Voices

It is the religious sector that wants profound voices ceased! Our voice carries weight in the spirit realm. The same voice agitates hell and its associates. Recall Blind Bartameaus! His voice disturbed those who should have provided assistance to the request of deliverance.

Voices that are speaking up and/or crying out for help antagonize the religious sector. I am one of a remnant of voices that bear truth. This truth transforms individuals and will catapult them into communities demonstrating their transformation.

Isolation Agenda:

Proverbs 18:1 states, “A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; he rages against all wise judgement”.
People would rather be independent than interdependent. We are not put here to satisfy our own selfish ambitions and desires. The power of covenant is a structure that God Himself constituted. The idea that “as long as I have King Jesus I don't need nobody else” needs to be clarified. Scripture admonishes us that “two are better than one”, according to Ecclesiastes 4:9. The enemy of covenants has craftily formulated a system to keep us alone. Isolation is preventing individuals that are falling financially, spiritual, naturally, morally, and mentally from receiving the necessary help. That help occurs when someone connected is able to catch you. Some choose isolation because of the hurt and disappointment from a previous leadership. This kind can paralyze the agenda of authentic spiritual parenting. As leaders, it’s our job to preserve you and keep you fresh; not spoil you. Our role is to assist you both naturally and spiritually.
It Is the Father's will to give you all that pertains unto life and godliness, according to 2 Peter 1:3. Why are so many people on social media and other means soliciting seeds in grounds that people aren't sure are cultivated? Because they do not have effective leadership assisting in their assignment.
Leaders are not called to handicap by distributing handouts. Even natural parents are not always able to contribute to every request. Therefore, when your leadership is not able it doesn't negate the fact that they are effective. Leaders must differentiate when and how to help. Help, at times, will disable the functionality of a person!!  The 'ideologies' of isolation will continue to perpetuate the lack of accountability, wise counsel, correction, strengthening, critique structure, discipline, development, and being grounded by all truth!!

"Disarming Excuses"

The Holy Scriptures declare, “The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing” (Proverbs 20:4). I witness people everyday who refuse to take control of their destiny because they choose to arm themselves with excuses. Excuses will deny any individual the results they desire for their life.

Most people should be familiar with an alarm system. When an alarm system is armed it provides security and a defense for individuals and/or property. When we, as a people, arm ourselves with excuses, it gives us a sense of security. This security keeps most people from being stretched to the next chapter of their lives. 

The sluggard represents one who puts things off; a procrastinator or someone who puts things on hold. They plan to get it done eventually; however, not just now! This is a position of which  so many find themselves. Being catatonic will keep one from progressing and moving forward. This sluggard spirit will be unresponsive, in a state of paralysis, or immobile. So many have lost the drive to go on. Many have lost the determination and momentum to bounce back and recover. Could it be that they have eaten the diet of adversity? Adversity can put you in a state of being unresponsive. Therefore, never allow adversity to persuade you that where you are right now is all there is. I say to you that there is so much more.

Never be afraid to leave what is cold in your life. Cold speaks of a season in which we all have. By reason of the cold the sluggard will not plow. What is your excuse for not working for yourself? What is your excuse for not pursuing your dreams? Are you trapped in the cycle of laziness which makes anyone unwilling to work? Laziness will sap you of life and enthusiasm. Proverbs 10:4 states, “A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich”. Ultimately, when harvest comes that person will  have nothing and will be reduced to a beggar.

Life was not created for begging! It was created for possessing! Jesus came so that we could “have life and have life more abundantly”, according to John 10:10. Once you free yourself from excuses you will began to develop momentum to thrive!

"CONFLICT RESOLUTION"

CONFLICT RESOLUTION:
A biased mentality automatically disqualifies a person from counseling married couples and other relationships! With many corrupted counselors, certain protocol should be enacted. Do not allow yourself to be influenced by one side of the story. This is a deal breaker! Never talk to one party and conceal it from the other; this becomes a red flag. Remember, it is not about you, it is about the people being counseled. This demonstrates trustworthiness.  Keep in mind, however, that people will often exaggerate or neglect to reveal all the facts. This is done to persuade your sound judgement.
Convene a meeting where both parties are present. During this meeting encourage the parties to reveal to the other what was shared with you in private and never play one side against another. Avoid gathering information for your personal gain. As a mediator, keep yourself honest and driven by integrity. The plethora of issues discussed is a diversion from the root of the problem. Once the root is exposed, establish a method for healing. Your objective must not be to exacerbate turmoil but to de-escalate tension.
Personally, I have learned to never allow myself to be placed in a compromising position where the parties trust is broken from one who should serve as a purveyor of godly counsel. Furthermore, once the healing is executed, the counselor does not want to be seen as the enemy.
So many couples become the victims of a cover up in the name of counseling, coaching and mediation. Not everyone who counsels is capable. Find someone who has the best interest of both parties. The focus should be ‘restoration’ and ‘resolution’. Learn to keep people out of your affairs. Never kill someone with your words and then choose to stay with them. Professional counseling should never be off the table. We as leaders must be committed to the oath to which we have affirmed and we should never disclose the privacy of those being counseled.
