Greetings Everyone,
All honor and glory be to God! I hope yall had a wonderful day today, and an even better evening. I have been busy since I arrived home, trying to research information that will help me expedite my application for 501(c)(3) status. See, although I am legally incorporated, I have not received a tax exemption status as of yet. I have the slightest idea how to fill out the applications for neither state nor federal tax exemption. Furthermore, I have no clue how to establish a budget for a 3-year strategic plan, as I'm not generating funds yet. *Sighs* How I wish I could do this full-time so that I had enough time in the day to build this organization the way I want to. I want to take a moment right now to invite you and someone you know, to join my non-profit organization's team of volunteers; all interested individuals should forward me your name, mailing address, brief BIO (to be featured on the website), preferred contact information, photo (to be featured the website), and specify your interest as a volunteer or member (all current andcandidate members must submit a condensed resume to capitalize relevant/useful skills and/or experience), ASAP. As you know, we have an event nearing... 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. I would love for you to participate in the walk with us. Contact me with regard to your interest in this event, or simply “register” to “join a team” under my name (Tylesha Allen) or my company’s name (FMBS Inc.) for Team Jenn. If you would rather submit a monetary donation, you are more than welcome to do that as well. Ether way, just copy and paste one of these two URL addresses: http://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. I thank you in advance for spreading the word about this event; please 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, soSTART 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:
"In all my ways I acknowledge Him and He directs my path" derived from Proverbs 3:6 (Capps, 1976, p. 155). Reference: Capps, C. (1976). The Tongue - A Creative Force. Tulsa, Oklahoma: Harrison House.
Proverbs 3:6 says, "Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take." "To receive God's guidance... we must acknowledge God in all our ways. This means turning every area of life over to him... Look at your values and priorities. What is important to you? In what ways have you not acknowledged Him?... In many areas of your life you may already acknowledge God, but it is in the areas where you attempt to restrict or ignore His influence that will cause you grief. Make Him a vital part of everything you do; then He will guide you because you will be working to accomplish His purposes" (The Life Application Study Bible New International Version. (1991). Proverbs Chapter 3 - Footnotes (p. 1076). Wheaton, IL: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.). "Actions speak louder than words." Just because we have heard the Word, doesn’t mean we have listened. Just because we have listened to the Word, doesn’t mean we have followed it. We are reminded of our responsibility as Christians, to place God at the TOP of our priority list;we must STUDY the Word of God, APPLY the things that we learn from God’s Word to our daily lives, and then SPREAD His Gospel. Our adaptation of life should reflect our Christian sense and values; everything we think, do, and say, should be a direct reflection of who we claim to be. If you say you are a Christian, then you should abide by the Word of God; God’s Word is the foundation for which we should develop the necessary tools to repair our polluted lives. Take a stand today and turn away from the values of this world (money, power, and pleasure), and take refuge in our Lord... When you learn a new skill at work, you put it into action, right? Take that same approach as you delve into the Word of God. As I stated in yesterday's lesson, God does NOT owe us anything, rather, we owe Him our lives. Place God at the top of your priority list. Repetition is the key to memorizing, and practice is pivotal to getting it right.

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. Help us to release all negativity stored within. Give us the strength we need to forgive those who have wronged us, the same way you continuously grant forgiveness to us. Also, place upon those we may have wronged the same desire, so that we too may be forgiven. More importantly Father, whatever guilt we've placed on self, allow us to release so that we may forgive ourselves. Bless us with a double portion of your Spirit Father. Close any and every unnecessary door that is open in our lives, and open supernatural doors to peace, prosperity, clarity, contentment, happiness, and favor. Provide each of us with clear and concise revelations that we need in order to overcome the adversary. Help us to see, hear, and feel your presence through every trial and tribulation. Help us to reevaluate our lifestyles turning away from our old selves, and rearranging our priorities, placing you at the top of our list. Provide discernment to know the difference between good and bad, right from wrong, and your will vs. 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 transformed into an image that mirrors Christ Jesus. 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
