God Don't Bless No Mess

In Chapter 2 of the Book of Judges, God had gotten fed up with the Children of Israel because they had been serving other gods. After Joshua died, Moses successor, being that they now had no leader, "and they forsook the Lord, and served Baal and Ashtaroth." (v. 13). Baal is just another name for Satan, and makes quite a few cameos in the Old Test. Ashtaroth was the goddess of sex/fertility from what I could gather. If you keep reading on, you'll see that God saved them four times, but they still continued to go back and serve the other gods. It upset God so much, in verse 23 says: "..therefore the Lord left those nations.". He LEFT them! But that was in the Old Testament, old news right? Well, here's what the Apostle Paul said:
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers, for what fellowship hath righteousness  with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?"
2 Corinthians 6:14
 The answer to your question, in my opinion, is this. You'll always be unequally yoked with an unbeliever, simply because you two aren't pulling from the same power source. It's already an uphill battle because you're praying for strength from God, while they're consulting with whomever they're "higher power" may be. Jesus said in Mark 10:7-8 :
"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will become one flesh' So they are no longer two, but one flesh."
You're praying for God to either fix or bless the relationship, but He's only half-way in it! "You can't get a WHOLE blessing with a 50% off coupon". If you're praying to God for answers while they're praying to someone/thing different or not at all, there's no direction. You know how it is when you get orders to do the same task from 2 different people....and they're both the complete opposite? So you just stand there in a moment of confusion? Chaos. You're going right, they're going left. The yoke isn't equally balanced, because you're strength is coming from God, while theirs is coming from a god UNDER God.

You can not say that you believe in God but not believe in Jesus. You can't say that "Jesus is my homeboy", if you don't believe in the idea of the church. And if we can all agree that there is a God and He is the creator of all things, then why is religion such a big issue?  Yes, there were many other religions and gods/goddess before Christianity, but they were not of God. Could explain why the bible and Jesus teaches so heavily on worshiping false idols, adultery and sexual immorality?

However, I do believe that there are some people who are put together for a purpose- children mainly. Think of Mary and Joseph being placed together to raise Jesus. I always thought there was something about the father or mother, that maybe one had something the other didn't that God wanted to use. A certain trait or personality characteristic, maybe even a physical attribute. Then once God's purpose has been served and the child is created, the relationship starts to fade. The birth of a child is always a beautiful thing and a blessing, and I think that's why some people are placed together - for procreation, not everlasting relations.

There's simply just some things that God won't pour out his blessings on, and interfaith relationships is one of them. Relationships aren't easy and they require a lot of work. A LOT. But if God let the nations of people that would serve other gods and not Him, after saving them 4 times...How can you expect Him to do anything about your relationship issues, if you're the only one He's hearing from? Sometimes the best thing to do is to just step away from the situation and shoot yourself a quick reminder....

"I don't need this stress, because God don't bless no mess!!"

What's Happening To Our Black Men?

For the past few days, single mothers has been a topic that i’ve been hearing a lot about. It sparked my interest when I saw a tweet about it. The tweet was about a predominantly black youth department where 80% of the kids didn’t have a father present. It went on to ask “Why men traditionally gotta be awful?”, in which I replied, “If God hadn’t put Joseph into place, Mary would have been a single mother”. After doing a brief search of single black mothers, I found that over 72% of black children are born to single mothers. Immediately after reading that, my mind went back to the Amerikkka's Attack on the Black Community  post; Jesus more specifically. Remember how I explained how I thought the devil is operating in the United States Government?? Well… Float with me on this. We aren’t told much about Joseph in the scriptures, but we know that he was worthy enough to be handpicked to father the Son of God. It’s also interesting to note that he wasn’t mentioned until the tim...

God Sent Me an Uber

After being completely and utterly disappointed and frustrated with my current life situation, i decided something had to change. Knowing that I have ran my life into a deep hole of a mess and that I could and SHOULD be doing much better, that’s what I wanted. I wanted to be happy; something I’ve never been before. So I made the call. I got God on the line and told him everything. How forgotten and abandoned I felt, as if he were picking on me. All of my failures, disappointments, the blown / mismanaged opportunities. I opened up and got everything off my chest. The ups, the downs, the would’ve-should’ve-could’ves’....Everything. After going on my little rant and after a brief moment of silence, mixed with some chuckling, I was told that I was being sent a car; an Uber. “Just get in the car and I’ll tell you how to fix it.”  Now once again, i felt like me and my issues were just another crumb on a table full of loaves that was just going to get passed over and wiped away. But ...
