Greetings Everyone,
All honor and glory be to God! Hey yall, I hope yall had a wonderful weekend. Today kinda sucked at work. Last week I was scheduled for training, during which those hours are normally spent conducting pill line. I reminded my supervisor and the pharmacist of my training, the day before, so that they could ensure that pill line was covered. However, it was not. This morning, I received a written counseling (negative-log) to be filed, stating that pill line is my primary job (false) and that I failed to complete my work responsibilities (false) for the date in question. So, I was bummed about that, but hey, life is not always a cup of sweet tea now is it? Anyway, a co-worker stopped to tell me how the last lesson I forwarded, seemed to speak directly to him. I rarely get feedback, unless I have taken a break or solicit urgent prayers for myself. But every blue moon, someone does reach out to me. I do NOT take credit for anything I put out in these lessons, fore the message we individually receive, is that for which God has intended us to. That being said, to GOD be ALL the glory. I will say however, knowing that what I share in fellowship may help at least one individual, brings me great joy. I am so flawed, and as stated before, I have many insecurities. Take it from me, do NOT learn the hard way. You will NEVER find complete fulfillment in random enhancements (make-up, weaves, false lashes, implants, other surgeries, colored contacts, etc.), because they are NOT real representations of you.Regardless of how much money you spend on these so-called improvements or enhancements, you are still putting on something that is fake or misleading - a mask if you will. In the end you will still suffer from your insecurities until you once and for all, accept yourself for who you are, flaws and all. I'm still working on that, so keep me in prayer with that regard, but also for a better paying more fulfilling job (my dream job is to dedicate my hours to underprivileged people in surrounding communities, by way of my non-profit organization). I would also like you to pray for Juan Aranda as he works to build his relationship with Christ. Additionally, I would like to ask for prayer for the Teems family. Thanks in advance.
Reminder: my non-profit organization will be participating in the Brain Tumor Society’s 2nd annual 5k walk/run. FMBS Inc. will be walking/running in honor of my dear friend, Jennifer Robinson, a brain tumor survivor. If you would like to participate in the walk with us, let me know, or “register” to “join a team” under my name (Tylesha Allen) or my company’s name (FMBS Inc.) for Team Jenn. Or, if you would rather submit a monetary donation, you are more than welcome to do that as well. Ether way, simply copy and paste one of these two URL addresseshttp://www.braintumorcommunity.org/goto/Team_Jenn_R or http://www.braintumorcommunity.org/goto/fmbs_4_Team_Jenn into your Internet browser to read Jennifer’s story, to join Team Jenn, or to make a pledge that will help us reach our fund-raising goal, also listed on our team page. Feel encouraged to SHARE these links with others, because so many people have suffered death as a result of brain tumors and brain cancers, and many others are also affected; our efforts will bring researchers that much closer to a cure, and will help to better educate society. As we continue to work together to spread God’s Gospel, let us also encourage one another to take steps that lead to a healthy overall mind, body, and soul; TRANSFORM your body, mind, and soul by feeding your body healthy nutrition, and being cautious of what things you allow your eyes, ears, and spirits to be exposed to (e.g. media, books, TV, music, etc.). Have you fed your spirit today? CHANGE BEGINS WITHIN, so START YOUR TRANSFORMATION TODAY, because tomorrow is NOT promised. Continue to keep one another in prayer, thanking God for the victory, and refraining from claiming defeat from the enemy; ALWAYS pray for your desired result, NOT the unfavorable outcome. Do NOT lose sight of God in the midst of adversity. God Bless!
Lord please clear our minds, and open our eyes and ears so that we may see, hear, and receive your intended message from this fellowship. In the name of Jesus, Amen!
Passage James 3:5-8 (NLT):
"In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself. People can tame all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and fish, but no one can tame the tongue. It is restless and evil, full of deadly poison."

For Wisdom and Guidance:
"The Spirit of truth abideth in me and teaches me all things and He guides me into all truths. Therefore I confess I have perfect knowledge of every situation and every circumstance that I come up against. For I have the wisdom of God" derived from John 16:13 and James 1:5 (Capps, 1976, p. 155). Reference: Capps, C. (1976). The Tongue - A Creative Force. Tulsa, Oklahoma: Harrison House.
John 16:13 says, "When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future." James 1:5 states, "If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking." "The trust into which the Holy Spirit guides us is the truth about Christ. The Spirit also helps us through patient practice to discern right from wrong. Jesus said the Holy Spirit would tell them 'what is yet to come' - the nature of their mission, the opposition they would face, and the final outcome of their efforts." (The Life Application Study Bible New International Version. (1991). John Chapter 16 - Footnotes (p. 1914). Wheaton, IL: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.). These revelations occurred after Jesus' death and resurrection, and were then revealed to us in the form of the Bible, which is why we need to SHARE God's Gospel. What good is the TRUTH if no one ever hears it? Ok, I need to take a brief intermission right now... as I'm typing, a few individuals who are very important to me entered my heart. So, what I will say to them (you know who you are), but also to one of you (God will reveal to that individual who this particular message is for)... First, KNOW that I love you. Second, I encourage you NOT to give up. It is not over yet. Remember that the battle is already won, but manifestation comes when you BELIEVE and RECEIVE it. You did NOT deserve to go through that heartache, the pain, and the suffering that you have endured beyond measure and comprehension. I can personally say that although our struggles are different, each individual may suffer a wide array of events similarly. For example, the effects of rape to one person is like infidelity to another. Being homeless to one individual may render the same affect on someone else who has to move back in with your parents as an adult - EVERY situation and circumstance is unique to each individual. However, your time is near just be steadfast and the sooner you ACCEPT your past, FORGIVE your trespassers the way that God forgives you, and BELIEVE in God's authority to fix/mend whatever is broken in your life, the sooner YOU WILL find the peace that passeth all understanding. You keep tryna fill that void with worldly things, and you want God to answer your questions, but have you really taken the time to LISTEN, HEAR, and ADHERE to God's reply? Hallelujah yall! This message is for you, him, her, and them, but most of all, it is speaking directly to ME. I need to take heed to what it is that God is placing on my heart to deliver to yall... I do these SODs because I am not ashamed to admit that I am sinner, I am a flawed child of Christ, and I need help. I enter into fellowship will yall for prayer together, revelations, and self-reflection. I need this, you need this, but most of all YOU need to study to show thyself approved... do NOT take my interpretation of the Word for face value, do NOT accept every word your teacher (pastor, bishop, priest, rabbi, Sheikh, etc.) says, and do NOT believe all the hearsay about the Lord. Instead, do your own studies and research, so that God may reveal to YOU what HE will have you to learn from His Word. Now back to our message... "By wisdom, James is talking not only about knowledge, but about the ability to make wise decisions in difficult circumstances. Whenever we need wisdom, we can pray to God, and he will generously supply what we need... but we will be unable to receive it if our goals are self-centered instead of God-centered" (The Life Application Study Bible New International Version. (1991). James Chapter 1 - Footnotes (p. 2245). Wheaton, IL: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.). To receive the wisdom of God, we must use God's Word as our guidelines so that He may reveal His will, but more importantly, we must abide by it; all things fall on course once we are able to align our lives with the Word of God.
Prayer of the Day:
Father God we thank you for life, health, and strength. We ask for forgiveness of everything that we have thought, said, or did, that was not pleasing in your sight. Father God we ask for special blessings over Juan, the Teems family, Tylesha, and the individuals you've placed on her heart; bless them individually according to your perfect will and plan for their lives. Provide the wisdom and understanding they need to move forward in life. Close any and every unnecessary door that is opened in their lives, and then open new doors that lead to peace, prosperity, contentment, and happiness. Lord we ask now that you open supernatural doors in our lives, and bless us with a double portion of your Spirit. Oversee the efforts made to recruit participants for the brain tumor walk/run, and allow all fund-raising for this event to overflow. Bless all those who donate to the Brain Tumor Society in support of Jennifer and other victims/survivors of brain tumors, as well as those who participate in the actual walk/run. Father we ask that you will bless Tye's non-profit organization, FMBS Inc., abundantly with prosperity and success. Provide individual revelations that we each need to overcome the adversary, that we may see, hear, and feel your presence when you call Father, and help us to be quick in answering your call. Give us discernment to know the difference between your will and our own desires. We thank you for the triumph over sin and death. We thank you for provision, guidance, and protection from Satan’s attacks. By the authority in our words, we reverse all the negativity spoken into existence within our individual lives and the lives of our loved ones and associates. We take back everything the devil has stolen from us, and bind every evil and malicious plot, plan, and scheme devised against us, in the matchless name of Jesus. Lord we also grant your angels permission to do our bidding on Earth, that we may be free to lead a Christ-like lifestyle even when we think no one is looking. All these things we confess and claim victory without recourse. This is our affirmation of faith Father God; we submit our petition to you in the name of Jesus, Amen!
Respectfully,
Tylesha "Tye" Allen
"It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man." (Psalm 118:8)
