Conversation with a Young Lady

So I had this conversation with this young lady about men/women, men and women’s place in God and what we are to be and not be. Just felt like sharing…

————————–—–

Jackie Somebody
Nothing much, how are you

Calvin Williams
I am very well. How was your weekend?

Jackie Somebody
Very entertaining!!

Calvin Williams
And why is that

Jackie Somebody
I went to a [private events]

Calvin Williams
Ah I c

Jackie Somebody
How bout you? Are you always so serious?

Calvin Williams
Went to Memphis. Why u say so serious? Had a great time at a friends wedding. Had an interesting dream a few nights and going to go to my Pastor to get it interpreted

Jackie Somebody
Oh really! Are you an inspiring or called minister?

Calvin Williams
Nope, I am a king

Jackie Somebody
You’re a King

Calvin Williams
Yep

Jackie Somebody
What do you mean by that, please elaborate

Calvin Williams
Ok this isn’t about religion or church this is about the kingdom of God. People haven’t known how the priest and kings work together. We are all called to be a minister on some level to their area of influence

Jackie Somebody
Continue

Calvin Williams
but God has a system set up with Kings (people in the world that stand on Godly principals and are blessed win in the world and bring it back into the kingdom of God – this is called wealth transfer) and the Priest (the ones who get the vision from God of what God wants to have done in the earth) and the system that is set up to fund the vision is the tithing system and both are important and anointed by God to do great things but because religion has only taught on priests people think that is the only way for people to do great work for God.
Make sense? But you could be God’s football player, office manager, janitor, doesn’t matter

Jackie Somebody
In a way, let me reread and really try and understand what you are saying, give me a minute

Calvin Williams
Whatever your area of influence is, you are to rule as a King in that area

Jackie Somebody
Ok

Calvin Williams
No doubt, I am cleaning up let me know when u ready

Jackie Somebody
I get it, so in your area of influence, you rule, making you a King. Correct!!

Calvin Williams
Bingo and how do you find out your area of influence?

Jackie Somebody
Lol

Calvin Williams
Whatever comes natural to you that is why when you work a job that isn’t in your area that comes natural to you (your gift) you feel unfulfilled. God never created you to do something you were created to do but when u do what you were created to do you would do it for free. That is probably the clearest example of the two kingdoms that we live in now (the kingdom of God and the kingdom of the Devil)

Jackie Somebody
WOW, that’s deep

Calvin Williams
In God’s Kingdom we do what we were created to do, we are happy at it and we blessed beyond measure. In the devil’s kingdom we do whatever we can do to get money, b/c we need money to live

Jackie Somebody
Absolutely. Wow!! You’re messing me up right now!!

Calvin Williams
I am not messing you up, watch your mouth. I am cleaning up the old system and I am right now exposing u to the kingdom of God and you love it

Jackie Somebody
Right right, got that right

Calvin Williams
Do you know why I said that? (Watch your mouth)

Jackie Somebody
Yes, the power of the tongue

Calvin Williams
Why

Jackie Somebody
Because your words create your future

Calvin Williams
Why

Jackie Somebody
What you say with your mouth will happen

Calvin Williams
Why, what power or authority y do have to make things happen with your words?

Jackie Somebody
Because that is how god created this world and us, through words

Calvin Williams
And?

Jackie Somebody
And because we have dominion over the kingdom, our words formulate our destiny, idk

Calvin Williams
No you right, which is why we can never say what we don’t want to come to pass. You are never messed up again in your life.

Jackie Somebody
Got that right, I love you man

Calvin Williams
Didn’t mean for the conversation to go here but hey, glad you enjoy it.
You are a queen. Think about it. You are a queen. And everything the queen says is done

Jackie Somebody
Thank you

Calvin Williams
Look back at history, queens speak things happen

Jackie Somebody
I soo needed this

Calvin Williams
So as a queen, how can u declare to your kingdom, that you are messed up? It conflicts with your true nature and then confusion occurs, in your kingdom

Queens just don’t say things, they command and you command under the authority of your king. And when u are under the authority of the king, then what u say comes to pass

Jackie Somebody
Wow!! Teach brother!!!

Calvin Williams
lol not trying to preach/teach but you are a queen

Jackie Somebody
You are so right, and i know that… I’ve been doing a lot of things lately that I would normally never do

Calvin Williams
No prob. Don’t even sweat it. Once u repent, God doesn’t care. And you are back under authority. You trying to repent now, I’ll pray with u if u want

Jackie Somebody
But what if i do it again

Calvin Williams
Then repent again

Jackie Somebody
I think I’m too far in

Calvin Williams
Not for Jesus. Peep this [Personal Testimony Story]

Jackie Somebody
[Personal Response]

Calvin Williams
But b/c I kept repenting. Now i don’t have [that problem] and i am working on now just removing [another problem]. But do you know what happens when you repent?

Jackie Somebody
You’re forgiven

Calvin Williams
And?

Jackie Somebody
And it’s forgotten

Calvin Williams
And?

Jackie Somebody
What?

Calvin Williams
What happens to you directly when you repent?

Jackie Somebody
I don’t know tell me

Calvin Williams
Sidebar – do you know why i do that?

Jackie Somebody
To see how much i know

Calvin Williams
Nope

Jackie Somebody
Why

Calvin Williams
B/c in the Kingdom God will never force anything on you but when you come to the point of humility of asking for help, you get help. Jackie, we transferring from the world to the kingdom of God

So we have to operate differently. God wants us to come to him with questions and show how much we need him; this isn’t about me showing how much i know. But just using this as an example of how we treat our King b/c remember, we are his queen/king, and we need to do what He wants and the only way to do that is to humble ourselves and ask for help or clarity

Jackie Somebody
I know and i was for 5 years, but i let myself be drawn back in, and it hurts because i know i don’t belong

Calvin Williams
You belong. Let’s go back to repenting. Do you believe you have a body/spirit/mind?

Jackie Somebody
Yes

Calvin Williams
Ok (just making sure we have the same foundation). So you think a thought, do that thought in our bodies and we sin

Jackie Somebody
Ok

Calvin Williams
Now we repent. We decide in our mind that we need to repent and change our ways

Jackie Somebody
Right

Calvin Williams
In the spirit, our spirits are renewed, we are filled up with the spirit of God, the old man is being removed and you are filled up with the spirit of God. Then we think different, and we act different

Let’s say we do this today

Jackie Somebody
Ok

Calvin Williams
And you sin tomorrow morning (your mind had a thought that wasn’t of God, your body did it and you sinned and then you disconnected yourself from God)

Jackie Somebody
Right.

Calvin Williams
But b/c you had this conversation, you repent quickly and you CUT OFF the sin nature and then again fill yourself back up in Jesus. B/c you cut off the nature the time will come with that desire or act is dead. B/c u keep on cutting it off

Make sense?

Jackie Somebody
Oh ok. Makes a lot of sense

Calvin Williams
Which is why it is ok to repent again b/c what you are doing is you are cutting off the sin nature over and over until there is none left and there is nothing left but the Spirit of God. And then you are a changed person

Jackie Somebody
Wow that helps a lot… you don’t know what this means to me… GOD is sooooo Good!!!!

Calvin Williams
Constantly repenting is the best way to stay connected to God and to do what God called you to do. So have you ever prayed the prayer of salvation b4?

Jackie Somebody
How can I still b a positive influence to those woman and men who look up to me, when I have done some of the same things they continue to do on a regular basis

Calvin Williams
Simple, do you see how i talked to you about all of this? But then i was real with you and i said that i still have challenges myself? I never made myself look like i was 100% perfect. I said this is the road i am on and i know a little so come on the road with me. But i am not trying to be your priest. I am a your friend as a King. But we both need to go a priest that can help us

Jackie Somebody
Yes I’ve said the salvation prayer before… you don’t know. I was deep in the word, until about 7mths ago!!!

Calvin Williams
So you share your story, be your role model, be real with them and transparent (don’t need to tell your biz but just keep it real) and then you bring them to where you are going. That is fine, God doesn’t care how long. Once you repents and come back you are good

Jackie Somebody
What would I do without his mercy?
Wow
This was invigorating

Calvin Williams
But, do you think u need this more often?

Jackie Somebody
I know I need this more often

Calvin Williams
You in GSO right? Roll to service with me. B/c as the king that you are (queen) we need this to make it

Jackie Somebody
I’m in High Point…What church do you attend

Calvin Williams
Doesn’t matter that is close enough?

Building Lives Christian Center, I knew a man that drove 1 hour each way to get word.

Jackie Somebody
Lol
Just asking

Calvin Williams
B/c if u feel like this now, i am just a King.Imagine how u feel when it comes right from the priest

Jackie Somebody
I know right!!!When is your next service?

Calvin Williams
Tuesday @ 7pm and Sunday @ 10am. Do you need directions?

Jackie Somebody
Ok
Yes please

Calvin Williams
7695 HWY 29 North
Brown Summit, NC 27214

Directions from Greensboro
Take 29 North towards Reidsville. After passing the Benaja Road Exit and going under a bridge the next available left you will make a u-turn to get on the other side of the highway. You will turn right at the next driveway. The church is at the top of the hill on the right.

Calvin Williams
Remember, Your King is looking for you. You can’t say crazy things b/c then your King will be like, man she isn’t ready. But you are a King’s crown; Worth more than any amount of money or object and when others see you they see the glory of your King.

Sidebar – can i copy the repentance conversation and change your name and make that into a note?

Jackie Somebody
Yeah that’s fine

Calvin Williams
Thx, but you’re a queen lady if you don’t remember anything else, you are a queen in the Kingdom of God

Jackie Somebody
I believe it, thanx!!!

Once Heard a Song… There’s a Blessing in a Storm

Posted: March 2nd, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: Faith, Personal Development | Tags: , , , | No Comments »

I once heard a song, “There’s a blessing in a storm.” Butl, I didn’t really dig it like, who really wants a storm in the first place. Now that I am in the storm, feeling alone, crying hurting, is this the blessing? How soon can I get out of this storm and back to regular life.

However, as I have kept on living, I have become better at finding the blessing.

When I say better, I mean to be able to be in a crappy, loathful, distasteful situation and see the blessing. When we are able to spend our time in a situation but see the blessing then that is how we become able to overcome the situation. There is a positive aspect of every situation that we go through.

The process to finding that blessing is a direct one that we must take or else we find ourselves in the situation for much longer than we ever desired.

Steps:
1. Accepting the Reality of Where We Are

This can be the hardest step but it is the most real step. If you are in debt over your eyes, you have to realize it, write down the number figure out what the debt is. If you are in a relationship that is hurting you, you have to realize it, accept the fact of where you are. If you are failing a class, you have to just look at your tests and accept the reality of your current situation.

This is creating the bottom of the whole. Someone once told me, the way to get out of a hole is to stop digging. To stop digging we must figure out where we are.

2. Determine the Path Out

Many people try to figure out how to get out before you know where you are and thus feel like there is no way out. But when you already have found the bottom of the whole, you can figure out exactly how to get out.

Truly, if we are too be honest with ourselves, we know how to get out. The challenge is do we decide to do what we have to do so we can get out of the storm.

If you truly dont know where to go, ask someone with wisdom (not a friend that is in the same situation you are in, someone with true wisdom that can help

3. Make the Decision – It is only hard in thought.

When we know what we are to do but we have such a challenge doing it, it is not because the actual decision is hard it is because we have a perception (a mental expectation) that it will be challenging and hard but when we have to do what we have to do, we have to do it. You and I both know that when we start going down the road, it will open up and flow out very easily.

Dang! Someone called and broke my concentration…. If it comes back to me, I will finish, if not I hope this impacts someone….

Dang Nabit! :) wasn’t that old school…

My Very Special Valentine..

Posted: February 14th, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: Personal Development, Relationships | Tags: , | 1 Comment »
This will be a valentine’s day that I never forget. My special valentine was such a blessing to me and has me going to sleep on cloud nine… I can’t wait to return the favor…

My Valentine’s Day was much like any other day, I slept in some because I had been working alot. Did somethings around the house and planned on going to the office. I didn’t feel like I got enough time in reading my bible so I took it with me to the office.

When I was heading to the office, I had a hunger for a Whopper (Burger King) but when I went to the one by my house, it was one rather dirty, they were out of meat, and I was just not enjoying that experience.

So, I got a chicken sandwich that made me wish I went to McDonalds instead. I did some things with my church around noon and then hit the office by 2. Worked for a few hours and then had another hunger for a Whopper. So, I decided that it would be great to take my books, catch up my reading and enjoy my whopper.

So I did that, went to BK, had a great time, this gentleman started a conversation because he saw what I was reading and we had a very pleasant conversation. I continued reading and went back to the office. Then 3 or 4 hours, maybe 5 later, I got another desire for food and a Belgium Waffle from IHOP was on the brain so off I went. Here is where my Valentine comes into play.

I am seated at IHOP and I get comfortable, place my order and begin to read while they are fixing my food. I look up to my right and there is this older woman with what I presume is her husband having dinner. I can tell they are watching me read as they may not expect me to be reading the books at IHOP (I am wearing jeans, hoddie, backwards black hat, and Ipod in ears – listening to Harvard Business Review).

Then I receive my food and here goes my valentine into action. As I was enjoying my golden brown waffle, I notice that the lady jumped up and went to the waiter to talk about something. I figured she just wanted her bill, she was there before me. But then, my waitress comes by and I ask for the check and she said the lady over there paid for you.

I was so blessed that my special Valentine decided to be a great blessing on my Valentine’s Day. I was also so blessed that God put me on her heart for her to pay for my meal. She was a older white woman with her husband, dressed down and in most situations you wouldn’t even notice them but I believe that God used them to bless me so God could tell me Happy Valentine’s Day.

I always wanted to pay for someone’s meal and be a blessing to them and I appreciate the fact that it happened to me. The next valentine’s day that I am out and I am able to, I will sow that blessing into someone else’s life.

Thank you My Valentine, Your Kind Act Shall Not Be Forgotten….

Happy Valentine’s Day… If no one told you that they love you today, God loves you and so do I!

PS. She also left a banging tip for the waitress over 60%!
