NAMES OF GOD:

A CHIEF CORNERSTONE (1 PETER 2:6)

A LIVING STONE (1 PETER 2:4)

vs6

For it stands in Scripture: See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and honored cornerstone, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.

vs4

As you come to him, a living stone—rejected by people but chosen and honored by God—

It is easy to put our trust in the things we can see. It is easy to put our trust in a friend, it is also easy to put one’s trust in the hands of a foe.

It is easy to think that all the provision of and throughout the earth is greater than God, The Almighty’s provision. It is easy to think that the trillions of dollars on the earth is all the provisions that there will ever be. It is easy to assume that only what you see is available to you…

But in the same way that the chief cornerstone holds everything together without being visible to all; 

God, the Creator of the universe holds it all together oftentimes without the acknowledgment or understanding of all that He has created. 

There is One God, heaven is His home and earth, His footstool. Such an obscene claim, but what is even more mind boggling is that it is true. 

“A chosen and honored stone…”

But, how could it be so chosen and honored if not everyone acknowledges it? 

Here’s a lesson for your entire existence: 

Whether what was created ever acknowledges who you are and all you are created to do…

it isn’t really any of your business.

Who, the Creator of the universe says you are and what He has fully known and designed you for and to do, that, yes that is your business. 

Imagine Jesus arriving here on earth whether it be His first or second coming, looking for the validation of what has been created to do what the Lord, God sent Him to this earth to do. 

Imagine the sky parting in two, heralds accompanying, and angels singing to THE King of Kings and Him, waiting on the applause of all that have been created in order for Him to act, in orders for Him to move, or in order for Him to setup and establish His Kingdom, a new heaven and a new earth, here on earth. 

Imagine the one who has been assigned, the One who is trustworthy and who is accomplished asking the confused for an ounce of recognition before continuing on in His assignment which had been assigned before the beginning of time. 

Imagine the tested and approved being questioned by the one too cowardly to even show up to be assigned and given instruction. Imagine the blind leading the blind when there is an entire King of glory to follow. 

Imagine the One who knows the end from the beginning and the beginning from the end, being instructed by the likes of you and I. Imagine the One who spoke and there, was the whole universe that humans are currently discovering and, rediscovering being told what to do by one out of billions that He has created and will continue to create. It just isn’t, it isn’t imaginable and it isn’t fathomable because, simply put, it would be evidently preposterous. 

“and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”

But, I can imagine myself laughing an unreasonably obnoxious laugh while reading the latter part of this scripture. And in addition to, “the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame…”

I mean the one who believes in His ability, one who believes in His resume, one who believes in His track record. One who believes in who He has been and one who believes in who His is. The one whose belief is hidden in Him, the one whose whole hope and trust is in the God of the Bible. 

The woman searching His scriptures, claiming and reclaiming promises and ground because her belief is in Him. The woman waiting in anticipation, the woman who has not lost heart, the woman who knows where her help and strength comes from. The woman, when she is low and I mean really low; musters up courage and strength to present herself to the day like she knows the One who placed the Sun in the sky and hung the stars and moon there every night too. 

Knowing that she is but a vessel on this earth but that didn’t stop her Creator from knowing every freckle, ever scar and every major and minor detail about her; 

like that chicken pox scar on your forehead that only you and those closest to you would know about. 

Yes, her, she will never be put to shame. The devil will never get the satisfaction of seeing her quit, or back out, or down because the Lord her God is within her she will not be moved. The chief cornerstone, the One holding it all together, holds her steadily and securely in the center of His will and in the palm of His hand. 

“as you come to him,”

But He isn’t just for her, He is for you too. He wants to be this to you too, the One you run to, the One you cling to, and the One you desire. 

“ a living stone—rejected by people but chosen and honored by God—“

The only living stone you’ll ever know, the only living stone able to breathe life in you and what you are going through. He is the living stone, rejected by unbelief but chosen and honored by God. 

A living stone, He isn’t dead He is alive. He can be intertwined and interwoven into every detail of your life if you want Him to be. He can be your blueprint. 

Jesus is the Living Stone and He calls and is calling for a Holy People. 

Fortunate for you, that you have been called to be His bride. To the most intimate of relationships; to know Him and Him you. To be called His Holy People and He, your Cornerstone. 

1 Peter 2:5

you yourselves, as living stones, a spiritual house, are being built to be a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

“but for the unbelieving”: 

the one who couldn’t fathom this truth, and for the one who has rejected it. The stone becomes more of a burden than a blessing. The truth becomes something to stumble over rather than to be embraced. The truth becomes something that the “unbeliever” who has rejected the cornerstone as its source to build on and from, becomes something they run from, due to their inability to believe. 

Proclaim the praises of the One who called you out of darkness and into His marvelous light, through the miracle of His glory, mercies and grace towards you.

THE GOD WHO POURS

Hey! 👋🏽 

So here’s a reminder into your November that God never stops pouring. 

A much as you have the faith to receive is as much as He is “offering”. 

God never stops pouring. 

What is your position when He does?

What is you expectation regarding His pour

and how often do you go to Him knowing and trusting in His ability to give greatly and, for it to be good? 

I mean a good that exceeds even what you’d consider good…

He is that good, He is the God of abundance. 

Do you think that you have placed faith in a God who has run out of resources? 

Do you think that there is a limitation attached to His Name? Nothing limits the true and living God, nothing and no one can stand in His way. 

He never stops pouring 

if you have the faith to receive it, He has the willingness to give it and to provide. 

In rejection do you not think that God won’t take you up? 

Sometimes you are afraid of rejecting all you have or are afraid that all you have will reject you. And while in this limbo you forget that your rejection of something or something’s rejection of you sets you up for something else. God is never out of options. He also has a will for your life that He intends to see through. 

If something does not stick it isn’t because God doesn’t have a plan. No form of rejection feels good in the moment whether it be you, doing the rejecting or you being the recipient of rejection. Rejection doesn’t feel good, but it is good if it isn’t God’s will. 

God never stops pouring. He does not run out of His provision. He is sovereign and His resources are without limit. Enjoy the provisions of God over your life knowing that there is so much more where that came from. 

Be encouraged! 

There is more to come! C R E A T E like it matters! 

Best,

NAMES OF GOD:

THE BUILDER

(HEBREWS 3:3) 

For Jesus is considered worthy of more glory than Moses, just as the builder has more honor than the house.

Jesus, is more worthy. Jesus the One who made you, is worthy of more glory. Moses has been accredited in the Bible for many things. You can look to Moses’ life and draw encouragement out of it. “If it wasn’t for the life of Moses…” can easily be the words spoken from the mouth of many. After all, Moses was the one who lead God’s people out of Israel, Moses was the One who received the 10 commandments and wrote them on the tablets of stone. Moses was the One who went up and down a mountain in order to inquire of the Lord on behalf of God’s people. Moses was the One receiving instruction regarding the path God’s people should take, and so on and so forth. Moses had been responsible for so much regarding the people of God and their entry into their Promised Land. 

And although this is the truth, the Bible still mentions that Jesus is greater and deserving of more honor. 

Why is that? Shouldn’t everyone get the same glory? Wouldn’t God distribute His glory evenly among all He created? 

Here’s the thing: 

Jesus is in a league of His own and, all by Himself. Here’s the thing, nothing created Him, He created everything and still chose humility. He was here since the beginning and will be here into and until the end; and God still chose Him to deliver all people. Jesus was there when God formed the earth and everything in it, an onlooker so to speak. Fully present, and a full participant, just waiting for the moment of His specified role in all of humanity’s redemption and God’s complete rescue plan. 

The Bible says that the builder is worthy of more glory than the house. You see, Moses was and is, in all of his excellence still, just a vessel, a picture of God’s presence, an image bearer, a house and, the created. Now although, his participation has been, extremely important and providential in God’s rescue plan it could not and, had no chance in, comparing with Jesus’s impact and role within yours and my deliverance from the grips of hell. 

From the beginning, there has always been a plan of rescue. From the fall of Adam and Eve into a life lead and governed by a through the Spirit; there was a will deposited in the Son of Man to accomplish what no other man could. 

No matter the impact of the man in history, their impact could not and cannot compare to the impact of Jesus. Firstly, on all of humanity and; secondly on all those who received the free gift offered by Him. A gift that cost Him more than anyone would be willing to pay for the redemption of another. Jesus paid the high price of all who cover the earth’s salvation, so that you could walk, live and dwell freely in the plan and purpose of God for your life, and this includes, living in freedom. He is the price paid, the builder of yours and my salvation, the builder of yours and my life; spiritually, physically and emotionally. He is the foundation of the best start that anyone could ever have in life. He is the starting place of a solid and full life set apart for God. He is the author of that house and the finisher of it as well. 

You see, Moses and all of the greats in the Bible were made by Someone; that Someone fashioned them together and knitted them in a specific womb before even that womb (and person), had a chance to speak into and over the future of that life. The Someone who created every individual, predestined the purpose of every individual according to His good and perfect will for their life. That individual had two options in their position of that will; to cooperate with their Maker who is God the Creator or, not to. If that individual chooses to operate in accordance with God’s will for their lives they become the house built on the rock. If you are familiar with scripture you’ll know this one: 

Matthew 7:24-26

“Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain fell, the rivers rose, and the winds blew and pounded that house. Yet it didn’t collapse, because its foundation was on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.

Psalm 118:22

The stone the builders rejected is the now Chief Cornerstone. 

Every builder before is and was a thief and a robber (John 10:1-2); but this builder, the One the builders rejected. He is the true builder, and the shepherd of the sheep. He is the much needed stone in the establishment and maintaining of that structure and that house. He was rejected so that you, as a house could be accepted. He went through, so that you could be carried and brought through safely and unharmed. He has always wanted to be your covering, your redemption, your deliverance; if you’d let Him. He is the First and the Last consultant concerning the will of God for your life. He is the One who gets to take you by the hand and ride off into the clouds or into the sunset with you, in this life and in the next. He is the One orchestrating it all. He is the One approving and disapproving things as well as the right way over your life. No one gets to take part in the establishment of His plan for your life because it is His will and not yours or anyone else’s that stands forever and throughout all of eternity. Everyone else is a thief and a liar concerning the building of your life. He is the builder, the true builder; rejected in order for you to be accepted. A necessary piece of every puzzle, that is your life. He’s known it from the beginning and nothing and no one can snatch you and the will of God for you, out of His hands. He won the purposes of God for and over your life fairly and without rival. He has redeemed you once for all time to be the house that He has willed for you to be and, because of this He is deserving of the greatest glory. Greater glory than any other “house” because He created and establishes them all anyway. Your job is to accept the finished work of His cross and to accept the price He has paid for your life, livelihood, and journey on this side of life. A fully glorified life, house and body awaits you at the end of it all. But as you are here, wait on the Lord who is already fully glorified and in the greatest glory, because of His willingness to go the distance of choice to redeem yours and my, soul and destiny from its fallen nature and into His marvelous light. 

John 15:14,15

DON’T BE AFRAID 

What has scared you to your core lately? What have you procrastinated until no end because of, (well simply put) you’ve been afraid? What have you feared without a cause more recently?

What has got you double checking and triple checking because you’d rather not be mistaken about it? 

What keeps you awake in fear? What causes you to stress out because of the level of fear within? 

The Bible reminds us over and over again, not to be afraid. It is my personal belief that we need the reminder more than we are willing to admit. It is my personal belief that the Bible reminds it’s readers around 100 times to “fear not” because there are several things that require courage on this side of life. 

Well what does it mean to be courageous? 

courageous:

cou· ra· geous

: having or characterized by courage : BRAVE

Courageous can be described as one among the following words:

valiant, heroical, bold, fearless, gallant and the list can go on. 

But while I can choose to be courageous, does the idea or feeling of fear just walk away? My answer to that would have to be; sometimes. 

Sometimes fear quite literally just walks up and out of your life while and as you pursue courage or the courageous route. Other times, fear ferociously rears it’s ugly head in such a way that you literally have to eject it from the game. What game? The game called life, that one can sometimes feel like they are playing whilst choosing to dance with their fears; but in actuality they are fully and undeniably in control of. The Bible says to be anxious for nothing, but everyone has at one point in life or another; anxiously wanted the feelings of fear to leave and|or to subside.

What works for you? How can you alleviate yourself of the feelings that fear brings about:

I wrote down a few reminders:

  1. Fear is ultimately a liar.
  2. The word of God is alive. And;
  3. Within scripture and within yourself; there is everything you’ll ever need to fully combat the falsehood of fear and the bouts of doubt that its lies bring about.

NAMES OF GOD:

THE ROCK OF MY SALVATION 

(2 SAMUEL 22:47)

The LORD lives—blessed be my rock! God, the rock of my salvation, is exalted.

PSALM 91:14-16

Because he has his heart set on me, I will deliver him; I will protect him because he knows my name. When he calls out to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will rescue him and give him honor. I will satisfy him with a long life and show him my salvation.

“Because he has his heart set on me…”

In a previous blog I wrote that: 

“I’d imagine that the LORD being a rock, to anyone who called on Him would be an entirely good thing. No one could sway Him to be against you, and no one could convince Him not to allow you to lean on Him…”

God wants yours and my affection in such a way that He’d leverages your entire salvation on it. He has such great plans for you that He’d risk it on your “No”, Jesus Christ “Yes” and death on a cross, and on the fact of the matter; that He has given you the free will to choose. 

If you would choose Him…

He goes: 

because you have chosen me…

“I will.” “I will.” “I will.”

God is so sure that He is right about the plans that He has towards you that He is willing to risk it all on you. 

He is willing to go out into the deepest of deeps to secure your love, trust and dependency on Him;

“I will deliver him.”

“I will protect him.”

“Because he knows my name…”

“I will answer him.”

“I will be with him in trouble.”

“I will rescue him and give him honor.”

“I will satisfy him with long life and show him my salvation.”

show him

satisfy him

rescue him

give him honor

be with him

answer him

he knows my name

protect him

deliver him

God is so sure of His own ability to save, His ability to satisfy, to rescue, to honor, to be with, to answer, to protect and to deliver that He would encourage you to set your whole hearts affection and devotion towards Him. God is so sure of His ability to care for you, mind, body, soul and spirit; in the here and now that He encourages you in this. He encourages you to set your heart on Him entirely, and without reservation. 

God knows that He is the One fully able to be the Rock of your salvation and truly mean it. He knows that He is the One who, if given your whole trust, could show you what a desire for Him could truly produce within you and throughout your life. 

God is certain that the proof, the way He satisfies, His rescue, the answer, protection, deliverance, honor, His presence, long life, salvation and satisfaction all belong to Him. It is all at His disposal, and He without sparing anything gives (it) to the one whose heart is set on Him.

WHO HAVE YOU GONE THE DISTANCE WITH THAT YOU WERE NEVER MEANT TO GO THE DISTANCE WITH – PT 2

Can I just make this one as clear to you as clear can be? 

Sometimes the “who” is the devil; the “who”is precisely the enemy of your soul. The “who” is the one “who” has been against you since the beginning, since your conception and, since you were a thought to God. 

Yes, sometimes you have gone the distance with him, yes the enemy of your soul; when you should of resisted him from the onset. 

(James 4:7, 1 Peter 5:9)

Now, can I also give you permission? Yes, possibly the permission you need to review your life and more recent agreements and interactions. Review as far back as you need to, and ask God to bring back to your remembrance anywhere or anyway you might have joined forces with the accuser, concerning your life, businesses, endeavors and the like.

It is important that you mark the places, times, moments and instances of agreement and|or, alleged agreements. It is also equally as important that you mark and make a notation of the time, place, instance and moment where you declare: enough to be enough. 

It is enough, you are not permitted to go the distance with the devil any longer. You were never meant to agree with him about or concerning anything. 

You are a child of God, and if you are children, then also heirs and coheirs with Christ. (Romans 8:17)

What is not in your true, family line that you have, just so casually made agreement with? 

What have you agreed with regarding your earthly family that you need to break cords with because “it” is not allowed to take place in the here and now? 

It isn’t allowed to exist in the heavenly places (the places you now claim rights and residence to). It isn’t allowed to coexist within The Holy of Holies. It no longer has access or dominion over you because you belong to a new family, the family of God, the redeemed, and the blood bought. You belong to those who are without spot, wrinkle or blemish; those who have been purchased at the highest price of Jesus Christ too (as in also).

You cannot afford to agree with the enemy of your soul. You have no obligation to go any distance with him. You are not in agreement with anything that would otherwise commit you or bind you to him. The cords of bondage have been broken, and you are free. Free to live and dwell in the liberty and in the authority to which Gods has called you to walk in. You are free to occupy every position or positioning in heavenly places that God has called you to. 

The Bible reminds the believer to be not again enslaved to what has formerly enslaved you (Galatians 5:1). Do not allow yourself to be entangled with any form of bondage, brought to you by the devil. You belong to God, the only One capable of redeeming your soul. Your obligation and commitment is to Him and to Him, alone. 

Be encouraged!

NAMES OF GOD:

THE ROCK 

(PSALM 18:2) 

The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock where I seek refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

How could it be? A question that I ask you, as well as myself, often? How could it be that the God of the universe, who just so happens to be the same God of The Brides Club Live be all of this, all at once? 

I don’t ask these words to annoy or to antagonize you, but in order to get you to be  sure. 

The Bible says that you should always have an answer to defend what you believe as well as the reason for your hope. Questions help to sharpen those answers. They help you to be sure of that hope and to converse within, the responses to the reason for your hope. 

(1 Peter 3:15)

the LORD is my rock

my fortress

my deliverer 

my God

my rock where, 

my rock where I seek refuge

my shield

and the horn of my salvation 

my stronghold 

what is the first word that comes to mind when you think of the word ROCK? 

“Immovable”, would have to be the word that I choose. Immovable, steady, steadfast, constant, consistent and tough; would be among the words that I’d ascribe to, in order to complement and sum up my thoughts on the word, ROCK. I’d imagine one who is steady and not easily swayed. I imagine someone who is constant and consistent in the retrieval of my pursuit. I’d imagine that the LORD being a rock, to anyone who called on Him would be an entirely good thing. 

No one could sway Him to be against you, and no one could convince Him not to allow you to lean on Him. And even like Jacob, He’d allow you to take a stone, rest your head on it, and remind yourself that the LORD was in this place (Genesis 28:16). He’d let you rest on the ROCK, which is Him and allow you to defy all reasonable logic. The logic that says, that a rock would not serve as something to rest your head on that you should expect to still find comfort in. The logic that says that a rock could, prove to be a sure thing but, not to get your hopes up. 

He is steady in your life, steadfast and consistent for the reason of proving your faith right. He wants you to know that you can boast in His goodness without the expectation of disappointment. Because not only is He your ROCK and your redeemer. He is also your deliverer, your God and a true source of location. 

He is “my God, where”, my God where I find strength, my God where I find hope. My God where I find trust, and truth, and, so much more. He is the God of the Bible and we run to Him as our hope, as our deliverance and as our shield. He is our exceedingly great reward and we praise Him for His faithfulness towards us. 

A ROCK is faithful; and after going through the ringers of the seasons of life, the ROCK maintains its structure, its essence and it’s dependability in and on this side of life.

AS EASY AS IT IS TO BELIEVE THE OPPOSITE 

…

“as easy as it is to think the opposite, is as easy as it is to think the opposite.”

-Arielle A. 

Have you ever thought a really bad thought? So bad that you would not repeat that thought out loud? 

Have you ever heard a story that was so convincing that you thought it just could not be wrong? Have you ever heard a story that seemed to check all of the boxes and seemed like it made so much sense and in the end it was not at all the truth, in part or even fully? 

Have you ever thought a thought that seemed so real that you could actually envision it? Have you ever had a thought that you could actually touch with your own two hands even before it was materialized? 

The mind and the thoughts of an individual is(are) such a powerful thing. 

James 3:9-10

With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in God’s likeness. Blessing and cursing come out of the same mouth…

Similar to the tongue, the mind can think thoughts that are complete opposite on a scale or of a spectrum. The mind can conjure up thoughts that are completely contrary to one another. 

Here’s the thing, if you have the ability to think one thought, you also have the ability to think another and then another. 

Oftentimes, we can box ourselves into thinking that one way of seeing and or thinking of something is all that there is

But this isn’t always true. There are several thoughts that we conjure up in a day and as easy as it is to think one thought is as easy as it is to think the complete opposite thought as well. 

What negative thoughts have been swarming through your mind lately? As easy as it is to think those thoughts is as easy as it is the think the exact opposite of those thoughts. 

The same goes for your beliefs and your faith, say the big dreams out loud. Dream the big dreams also. Because as easy as it is for you to doubt them is as easy as it is for you to believe them as well.

Say the big dream out loud and dream the big dream. Because as easy as it is to believe and go after the lesser vision is as easy as it is to go after the greater vision. Choose the greater vision, choose the glory of the latter house. The latter will always be greater than the former if you entrust it to the Creator of it all, anyway. He makes promises and intends to keep them. Trust that His ways are better and that His plan is perfect.

NAMES OF GOD:

BREAD OF LIFE

(JOHN 6:48) 

 “I am the bread of life.”

Jesus always gets personal. After feeding the 5,000, He goes a little deeper, He provides a bit more insight. He isn’t afraid to challenge your thinking and your need for and dependency of Him. He isn’t afraid to go above your present day thinking and He isn’t shrewd concerning leaving you wanting more. 

He is from heaven, He is “things above”, He is “these things”. He knows the stories of the prophets of old better than anyone else and, He can recall scripture and the way that it points you back to Himself in the same breath. 

(Philippians 4:8, Colossians 3:1-2)

John 6:14

When the people saw the sign he had done, they said, “This truly is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”

John 6:26

Jesus answered, “Truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate the loaves and were filled.

John 6:43-44

Jesus answered them, “Stop grumbling among yourselves. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.

John 6:39

This is the will of him who sent me: that I should lose none of those he has given me but should raise them up on the last day. 

John 6:51

This is the bread that comes down from heaven so that anyone may eat of it and not die. 

Jesus the bread of life, the Son, and the One believed on for eternal life. Jesus knows that your need for Him as the vine to your true sustenance surpasses every other one of your needs. He knows that if you feed on Him, you will, live because of Him. He knows that what He offers is what comes down from heaven. He is the good and perfect gift from above, coming down from the Father of lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. 

(John 1:17) 

Jesus knows that His provision is perfect. What Jesus provided to you will always be what you are in need of. He knows your needs before you even ask, He wants to be on your every thought and on your next breath. Call on Him as The Bread of Life, He is always eager to answer.

NAMES OF GOD:

MASTER

(LUKE 8:24) 

They came and woke him up, saying, “Master, Master, we’re going to die! ” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waves. So they ceased, and there was a calm.

Who are you willing to call “Master”? 

Who are you willing to stake your claims on being Master… 

when everything is calm, when everything is in an uproar, when everything is at a standstill or, when everything is all said and done? 

Who do you believe to be worthy of the title of “Master” over your life? Who is worth the title, to you and, over your life? 

Is it the same Master that the disciples called on when a windstorm arrived while they were at sail and, that subsided at His rebuke? 

Who is the God that gets the title Master in your life? Is it Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world? 

OR 

Is it what seems to hold the most power at the moment? 

The thing with naming other things and|or people “Master” in life is that their “power” fluctuates based on an array of different scenarios. 

The CEO or the CFO of one company isn’t the CEO or the CFO of another company. And can you understand how the individuals power can fluctuate in an instance like that? 

The pilot is not in charge of booking the flight of every passenger on the plane, but He or she are in charge of taking a plane to and from its destination and departures. 

Depending on the room, you are in, the power of an individual and|or “master” will vary. 

Which is why it is important to identify who and what will be your, personal “Master”. 

Is it the God who everything falls and rises on?

OR

Is it the most powerful person in the room at the time? 

The use of the word “Master” should be reserved for One with much more power than that of a room. 

When deliberating over who the “Master” truly is, let it be clear The Bridegroom,  is the only Master over The Brides Club and His Bride.
