STARTING THE WEEK OFF RIGHT:: "O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth" Psalm 96:1 KJV
GoD is GOOD:: This week, I was aiming to get all the paperwork for The 7th Scroll finished and handed in for the non-profit status. Even though I fell short of accomplishing that, I can look back and see how much work was actually completed. I thank God for His mercies and blessings daily. Happy Sabbath everyone! Stay Blessed! Give thanks!

So I have been wondering lately what I should do. Not that I was necessarily asking for guidance in one particular area of my life, just life in general. It seems that everything I do lately is wrong. I have been searching for happiness and failing to find it. I haven’t been able to understand why…
FAST AND PRAYER FRIDAYS:: "The man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob but Israel [He Struggles With God], because you have struggled with God and with men—and you have won." Genesis 32:28 GW

I sometimes wonder what it would be like to see Jesus in the flesh. I read the gospels with envy. Those people saw the Son of God incarnate. They saw him put mud on the blind man’s eyes, saw him hold children, saw him walk on water. They could see the lines on his face. Some of them felt his…
FAST AND PRAYER WEDNESDAYS:: " Then Jacob woke up from his sleep and exclaimed, “Certainly, the Lord is in this place, and I didn’t know it!” Filled with awe, he said, “How awe-inspiring this place is! Certainly, this is the house of God and the gateway to heaven!” Genesis 28:16-17 GW
I'M LOST:: PLEASE DISREGARD
I just happen to sign into Tumblr, only to find a ton of posts about naked girls. I guess I was hacked somehow, but to all my readers, please disregard. I had no previous knowledge about these postings, and I have since deleted them. I guess when you are trying to live for God, the devil always will try and tarnish your efforts.
Stay Blessed.
PURPOSE:: UNDERSTANDING YOUR NAME
As many of you know, I’m determined to read the Bible in its entirety. Not only has reading the Bible changed my lifestyle dramatically, but its also made all my senses receptive to God’s beckoning call. I started reading the Bible in the Summer of 2009. I started in the book of Daniel, and read through to Revelation. Currently I’m in Genesis. I probably should have finished reading the Bible by now, however, through my stubborn and selfish tendencies of old, I procrastinated to the billionth degree. Since I began getting the revelations from God about The 7th Scroll, I’ve been reading my Bible a lot more.
The point of this reflection is to talk about naming, and its relevance to how we should live. I’ve gathered, especially in Genesis, the weighted emphasis put on naming. During Biblical times, an individual’s name meant more than a title. It wasn’t picked from a baby book or from thin air either. During these times, a name defined character, purpose, and background. Ecclesiastes 7:1 says, “A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of one’s birth.” This verse shows how serious this event is in a person’s life.
As I approached the scene where God re-names Abram in Genesis, I reflected upon my own name. In renaming Abram, God expressed His absolute dominion over all men, and His particular mercy toward those who truly follow Him. Abram was renamed Abraham, his name went from meaning “exalted” to now meaning “prolific”. I believe, God gave a name, even before their birth, to some whom He called for a great purpose.
I decided to check out my own name, “Michael”, which means “Who is like God”. So let me get this straight, before I was even born, God knew that my name would be Michael. He knew about The 7th Scroll. Therefore, my name would not only have to dictate my purpose in life (“Who is like God”), but also to dictate my character (“Who is like God”). That is some mind-boggling stuff right there, just to know that God has given me my charge since before I was born.
To all readers of this blog, although I may not know everyone’s name, God does. He knew your charge in life before you were even born and concealed it in your name. We all have to live for God and be God-like. His Second Coming is upon us! We must be prepared!

STARTING THE WEEK OFF RIGHT:: ""Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!" (Isaiah 5:20-21, NKJV).
