​THE ART OF COMMUNICATION IS MULTIDIMENSIONAL. IT IS ONE OF THE WAYS WE LINK UP WITH LIFE. LIFE IS ABOUT INTERACTIONS AND THEIR RESULTS. THE MORE WE CONNECT WITH OTHER PEOPLE AND WITH OTHER THINGS, THE MORE IMPORTANT THE WAY WE DO IT BECOMES. A DIALOGUE OF PRECISE COMMUNICATION BELONGS TO US. HUMANS HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE GIFT OF LANGUAGE. OUR ABILITY TO DISTINCTLY AND PRECISELY EXPRESS THOUGHT IS UNIQUE. UTTERING AND INTERPRETING BOTH SOUNDS AND WORDS CREATES  A SENSE OF CLOSENESS INTUITIVELY THROUGHOUT OUR CULTURES. OUR METHODS OF EXPRESSION AND COMMUNICATING WITH GOD CAN RANGE FROM WORDS TO INARTICULATE INTIMATE SOUNDS OR THOUGHT OR VERBAL ENERGY THROUGH PRAYER. THIS INCLUDES INNATE AND AUTONOMOUS PHYSICAL EXPRESSIONS FROM CRYING TO LAUGHING. EVERY ACTION WE DO TRANSMITS DISTINCT VIBRATIONS THAT CAN BE DETECTED EVEN IF WE ARE UNAWARE OF IT. EXPRESSIONS like A "DIRTY LOOK," known as the side eye, IS A FORM OF COMMUNICATION THAT WE AND OTHERS TAKE CUES FROM. AS HUMAN BEINGS WE POSSESS SENSES AND FEELINGS DESIGNED TO ALERT US TO THE PRESENCE OF ENERGY THAT MAY NOT BE VISIBLE. IN THE ENTIRE HUMAN ECONOMY TALKING IS THE MOST SOPHISTICATED WAY OF COMMUNICATING. Animals communicate using SENSES AND signals. THESE ARE GENERALLY visualLY-BASED, sound-based, chemicalLY-BASED, AND touch-based cues. PLANTS EVEN USE ANIMALS AND INSECTS ALONG WITH OTHER CHEMICALLY BASED SECRETIONS IN THEIR ROOT ZONE TO SEND OUT SIGNALS. NO MATTER HOW PROFOUND ANY METHOD OF COMMUNICATION TURNS OUT TO BE, NOTHING BEATS PRAYER. EVERYONE HAS AN INNATE ABILITY TO PRAY. REGARDlesS OF BACKGROUND, BELIEF, CHARACTER, COLOR OR CREED. SOMEDAY, SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, EVERYONE prays at sometime in their life. PRAYER IS MANS LEGAL AUTHORITY TO INVOLVE GOD IN OUR AFFAIRS. PRAYER CAN BE USED AS A BLUNT INSTRUMENT OR A PRECISE TOOL. communicating through prayer and meditation are like eating and drinking. Prayer's wide umbrella includes many forms of communication. however prayer is MORE ACCURATELY associated with talking, meditation AND listening. 

THIS IS NOT JUST FOR CHURCH AND RELIGIOUS PEOPLE THIS IS FOR ALL PEOPLE

​THIS IS NOT ABOUT RELIGIONS, DENOMINATIONS OR DOCTRINES; IT IS JUST ABOUT THE ACT OF PRAYING. in a general sense PRAYER IS A SPIRITUAL ENDEAVOR THAT REQUIRES SOME PHYSICAL EFFORT WITH OR WITHOUT WORDS. MORE THEN ANYTHING PRAYER IS AN ACQUIRED ATTITUDE. SIMILAR TO A DISPOSITION OR PERSONALITY, PRAYER BECOMES MORE THAN AN ACTION, IT BECOMES A PART OF OUR BEING! THIS IS WHY IT IS POSSIBLE TO PRAY WITHOUT CEASING! ALTHOUGH LANGUAGE IS UNIQUE TO HUMANS AND MUST BE LEARNED IT CAN BE MISUNDERSTOOD. PRAYER IS INNATE AND DOES NOT REQUIRE LESSONS ON ARTICULATION. PRAYER HAS A LANGUAGE OF ITS OWN. EVEN IF WE FAIL TO PROPERLY FOLLOW THE FORMAT IN THE WAY THAT JESUS TAUGHT HIS DISCIPLES, PRAYER'S EFFECTIVENESS MAY STILL PREVAIL. PRAYER IS EASILY THE WORLDS FIRST PRECISION INSTRUMENT WITH A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS! PRECISE PINPOINT PRAYERS "ALWAYS" PREVAIL. PRAYER IS LIKE AN INVESTMENT. SOMETIMES WE  JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT OR HOW WE OUGHT TO really PRAY. being aware of and eXPRESSING THIS DEFICIENCY actually ALLOWS "THE SPIRIT" TO ARBITRATE AND INTERCEDE BY AUTOMATICALLY PRAYING FOR US IN OUR STEAD. "THE SPIRIT" BRIDGES THE GAP OF OUR LACK AND SOLVES THIS PROBLEM. WHEN WE PRAY IN "THE SPIRIT" THE DETAILS ARE TAKEN CARE OF FOR US. GROANING AND UNINTELLIGIBLE UTTERING ARE A PART OF THE LANGUAGE OF PRAYER. THE WHO, WHERE, WHAT, WHEN AND WHY IS NOT AS IMPORTANT AS THE PRACTICE ITSELF. SUPPLICATIONS ARE a form of prayer ALSO. SUPPLICATION ALLOWS US TO humbly AND earnestly ask, EVEN BEG, FOR proviSION. IT CAN BE ON OUR OWN BEHALF or on behalf of someone else. READ PSALMS 142 FOR A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS. THE ACT OF PRAYING PLACES US IN A POSITION OF POWER; NOT OUR OWN POWER BUT IN PRAYER'S POWER WHICH KNOWS NO LIMITS. PRAYER IS NOT SPECIFICALLY AFFILIATED WITH ANY PARTICULAR BELIEF OR RELIGION. THERE ARE NO PREREQUISITES OR QUALIFICATIONS TO PRAY. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO BE RELIGIOUS OR EVEN BELIEVE IN GOD TO PRAY! THIS POST IS NOT JUST ABOUT HOW TO PRAY. LIKE MUSCLES, WE ALL HAVE THEM BUT THESE MUSCLES MAY NOT BE DEVELOPED. WITHOUT PRAYER PEOPLE HAVE NO REAL POWER. WE CAN PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER, BUT WE CAN NOT SOLICIT OR CONTROL ONE ANOTHER BY OR THROUGH PRAYER. YET WE CAN AUTHORIZE GOD TO ACT ON OUR BEHALF BY PRAYING. GOD IS NOT MICRO-MANAGING MANS AFFAIRS. DOMINION HAS BEEN IMPARTED TO US ALONG WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT COMES WITH THE WORDS "LET THEM RULE." WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO ENGAGE GOD IN OUR AFFAIRS IF WE CHOOSE TO! 

EVERYBODY TALKS TO GOD

Ownership is a form of attachment that can deceive us. Many people mistake stewardship for ownership and covet God's gifts without sharing God's blessings. In spite of our tendency to misappropriate the bountiful treasures  bestowed upon us, God is not an "Indian Giver." This racist terminology is also falsely interpreted and misconstrued to disparage the selfsame culture of people that believed in sharing the gifts of the land through trade. The Europeans who eventually colonized and conquered the land had a different set of values. Their intentions from the start was to be conquering heterotroph's. Even to this day they describe most of us in the same way as consumers. A careful reading of the Bible will reveal to us all that the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. We were not given ownership of anything but were given stewardship over everything!" The Bible declares that the gifts and callings of God are without repentance! God does not back away or remove his blessings from us because of disobedience. Although God's covenant with Israel was broken by them many times, God is faithful and we are in charge.

GOD IS NOT IN CONTROL! WE ARE!

THIS IS NOT HERESY! IT IS GOD'S WORD THAT SET THESE "PRINCIPLES OF ORDER."

Our federal government is a system that divides power between a central national government and local state governments all connected to one another by the national government. We have no king. Some areas of public life are under the control of the national government, and some areas are under control of the local governments. This is a division of authority not of power. God has made us both free moral agents and has authorized us to govern ourselves. Control of our own destiny and our planet has been bestowed upon us without the possibility of a recant, renege, renounce, or repeal. This is why we were given the power of prayer! God has elected to share authority. God's words and promises cannot ever be broken even by God. Actually, God "is" his word but that's a topic to tackle at another time. ​All order, power and purpose is in God's hands, however God has handed the controls over to us. The idea that God sits on a throne somewhere micromanaging humanity is a fallacy and unscriptural. Man is behind all of this chaos and wants to shift his responsibility. Blaming God has been pattern from the beginning. Isn't that what Adam did? Rather than apologize and repent for his transgression of the only law they had, Adam blamed God. Adam said, "that woman you gave me," meaning that "the gift" was the cause and the giver was behind it. The fact of the matter was that it was God that formed that perfectly made and matched woman designed specifically for him. This is the type of response we get from indulged, privileged, spoiled children. This is the logic behind the selfish "spirit of blame." Imagine gifting someone a car and subsequently being blamed by the recipient for any accident they might have. There are multiple life lessons within the Bible. Like prayer, generally only seekers will find answers.  Anyone that embraces the "actual metaphorical analogy" of creation depicted in the bible should re-examine the "order of events." After the creating, came the bestowing, then the receiving, then the deceiving, then the blaming and finally the expelling. This is why understanding the power and prominence of our position through prayerful communications is so important. After the creation every other act recorded in the Bible that God performed was through the agency of a man (woman mankind). Noah was God's surrogate for the flood. God worked through man. Abraham was God's trustee for calling out a nation. God worked through man. Sarah was God's deputy for carrying the bloodline. God worked through man. Moses was God's instrument for delivering Israel from Egypt's bondage. God worked through man. Esther was God's emissary for maintaining freedom of religion. God worked through man. Jesus is God's substitute of a sacrifice for sin, delivering us from ourselves. God worked through and "BECAME" man.
​We are designed to love not hate. It is we who decide our fate. Embrace the fact that we are in control. Holding God to God's word, by a people who often break their own word, may seem to be a difficult thing to do. God is bound by God's selfsame word and willt honor it in spite of what we do. Even when God wants to intervene on our behalf, God is limited by the sovereignty of the power from the spirit of God's own spoken word. Our healing is constantly hindered by ourselves! The promise of healing is not partial it is ALL inclusive. Let's examine God's promises on healing and prayer. God's word declares that if we confess our sins that God is faithful and just to forgive us from our sins and cleanse us from ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. If we follow that up with the effects of cleansing we will Bless the Lord oh my soul, and forget not ALL of his benefits, who forgiveth ALL thine iniquities and healeth ALL thine diseases. Many of the attitudes, feelings and ways (iniquities - spiritual genetics) we have, that we may not even be aware of are covered through the act of true confession. The formula has not changed. Forgiveness opens the flow for our faith to be effective. This is why it is so important to forgive others and ourselves, this is a main focuses in the "Lord's Prayer."

A NEW WAY OF SEEING - ANOTHER VISION CALLED T-E-L-E-V-I-S-I-O-N

WE ARE QUICKLY MOVING TOWARDS A VIRTUAL WORLD. THOSE OF US BORN IN THE FIFTY'S AND SIXTY'S HAVE HAD A BIRD EYE VIEW OF THIS TRANSITION. THE ADVENT  OF THE "AGE OF ELECTRONICS" ALONG WITH AN ARRAY OF SIMULTANEOUS AND SUBSEQUENT TECHNICAL ADVANCES HAVE ACCELERATED THE PROGRESSION OF EVERYTHING FROM COMMERCE AND COMMUNICATIONS TO ARMS AND WEAPONS OF WARFARE. WE HAVE QUICKLY MOVED FROM HAND HELD "WALKIE TALKIES" AND TRANSISTOR RADIOS TO PERSONAL PHONES WITH STREAMING AUDIO AND VIDEO. WE ARE FORMING AND ESTABLISHING RELATIONSHIPS BASED ON AND BIRTHED UPON ELECTRONIC MEDIA. TODAY, IMAGES, AS MISLEADING AS THEY MAY APPEAR TO BE, LIKE LIVE MAGIC SHOW ARE EVEN MORE MISLEADING IF MANIPULATED BY ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGIES. LIVE RAW EXCHANGE AND INTERACTIONS HAVE MANY SIGNIFICANT TACTILE ADVANTAGES OVER "ELECTRONIC RELATIONSHIPS." TODAY'S VIRTUAL (NON-PHYSICAL/TELEVISED) INTERACTIONS ARE EMULATING REAL LIFE ENCOUNTERS JUST LIKE VIDEO GAMES DO. WE ARE BATTLING AGAINST THE "PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR." AIR IS INVISIBLE, BUT WE CAN FEEL ITS EFFECTS. DO NOT UNDER-ESTIMATE OUR ADVERSARY, THE DEVIL. THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS TRANSITION IS CAUSING US TO RELATE TO ONE ANOTHER IN AN APATHETIC AND ARTIFICIAL MANNER. WE CAN DELETE, RESET AND RESTART A GAME, BUT REAL LIFE DOES NOT OPERATE THAT WAY. NOT REALIZING THAT WE ARE MEMBERS ONE OF ANOTHER WILL DIVIDE US AND OUR EXCHANGE OF RESOURCES. WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING AND EMBRACING OUR INTERDEPENDENCE WITH ONE ANOTHER AND ALL OF NATURE WE WILL CONTINUE TO FOSTER ONE CALAMITY AFTER ANOTHER. AFTER ALL, THIS IS OUR PLANET AND WE ARE IN CONTROL. THE GRADUAL REDUCTION IN TACTILE CONNECTIONS WITH LIVE/NAKED, PHYSICALLY VISIBLE (NOT BROADCAST, DEPICTED, DISPLAYED OR STREAMED VIDEO) AND AUDIBLE EXPERIENCES IS QUITE PROFOUND. MANY OF OUR TRADITIONAL PERSON TO PERSON INTERACTIONS ARE CONTINUALLY BEING CHANGED, SUBSTITUTED AND SUPPLANTED BY VIRTUAL MEANS. THAT'S WHAT WE WANT OUR LISTENERS AND READERS TO THINK ABOUT.​

HOMONYMS? LIVE MEANS ALIVE. LIVE CAMERAS ACTION.  live meanS life. LIVE IS spellED JUST LIKE LIVE.

"THERE'S NOTHING LIKE BEING THERE." THIS IN FACT IS AN AGE OLD EXPRESSION WHICH, HIGHLIGHTS THE VALUE OF HAVING A TRUE ACTUAL "HANDS ON" EXPERIENCE. THE EXPERIENCE OF PARTICIPATING IN A SPORTING EVENT AS A FAN "IN THE STANDS," IS UNLIKE VIEWING OR HEARING IT ON A REMOTE BROADCAST. THE ENERGY GENERATED AT MOST PHYSICAL GATHERINGS WILL CERTAINLY CARRY THE SPIRIT OF THAT SPECIFIC CROWDS CONSCIOUSNESS/MENTALITY THAT IS UNIQUE TO THAT EVENT. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DUPLICATE, RECORD, TRANSMIT OR MIMIC SPIRIT. THE SPIRIT/ATTITUDE OF ANY EVENT IS EASIER TO FEEL AND TAKE PART IN BY BEING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY WITH OTHERS HAVING THE SAME EXPERIENCE. THIS IS THE TYPE OF ENERGY WE FIND PRESENT AT MOST PROTESTS AND DEMONSTRATIONS. THIS IS THE TYPE OF ENERGY THAT GETS OUT OF CONTROL AT TIMES. THIS IS THE KIND OF ENERGY LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS TO DEAL WITH, BOTH WITHIN THEIR OWN RANKS AND IN OFFENDERS. POLICE OFFICERS MUST LEARN HOW TO EXERCISE CONTROL OVER THEIR OWN SPIRIT AND APPLY THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF FORCE TO SUBDUE SUSPECTS WITHOUT EXECUTING JUDGEMENT. IT'S EASY TO INFLICT THEIR OWN JUDGEMENT, SENTENCE OR PUNISHMENT THOUGH DEADLY FORCE OR BODILY RESTRAINT. ENERGY CAN BE BOTTLED UP TEMPORARILY BUT EVENTUALLY MUST BE RELEASED! PRESENTLY, MANY OF US ARE COMING OUT OF ISOLATION AND RECONNECTING WITH SOCIETY AS A WHOLE. UNFORTUNATELY, SOCIALIZING HAS BEEN AND CONTINUES TO BE AFFECTED BY TECHNOLOGIES THAT HAVE AND CONTINUE TO SIMULTANEOUSLY REDEFINING SOCIAL BEHAVIORS AND NORMS. EVEN OUR CARS HAVE BECOME PRIVATE BUBBLES IN A SINK FULL OF SOAPSUDS. WITHOUT PRAYING FOR OURSELVES AND FOR OTHERS WITHIN THIS RAPIDLY-EVOLVING, VOLATILE, UNSTABLE, QUICK CHanging, ENVIRONMENTALLY-ABUSIVE, pollutED, OVERLOADED, ALWAYS ON, fast PACED, DISEASED, ELECTRONICALLY-LINKED, VISUAL, INVASIVE, REMOTELY-accessed, INSTANTLY-available, MULTIMEDIA-CENTERED SOCIETY WILL SUFFER MORE AND MORE. THE OVERALL EFFECT OF PRAYER AND IT'S IMPACT HAS BECOME AN IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION. OUR PERSON TO PERSON CONNECTIONS AND PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH ONE ANOTHER SHOULD BE EMBRACED AS AN ESSENTIAL HUMAN NEED. PRAYER IS A PRACTICE THAT'S PERFORMED WITHOUT ANY PROOF OF ITS PROFIT. OUR PRAYERS ARE THE GLUE HOLDING SOCIETY TOGETHER WHETHER WE REALIZE IT OR NOT!

WE CAN FEEL IT COMING "IN THE AIR TONIGHT"

There is a subtle difference between live and "being alive." When we feel it, but can't see it or are aware of its presence but can't identify or touch it, its probably spirit. Spirit is a force of energy that can't be seen or touched but it can be felt or sensed. It is invisible but not completely intangible. In that spirit can be felt or received it stands to reason that it can abide, be sent or transmitted. We all send out energy by default. Why do so many people neglect spirit? Is it because we relegate it only to religious matters? Is not spirit a part of everything we do? Are we being lulled to sleep by these spirits to dismiss or ignore their existence so that they can run amok? We carry the energy/anointing that keeps our world balanced. In this realm of existence every spirit needs a body to express through. We are the agents that either allow or prohibit their operations. It's time to acknowledge and be aware of their presence, as there is a spiritual battle being waged against and around us. "THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT," IS NOT A VALID EXCUSE! WE HAVE POWER OVER THE DEVIL. Prayer can then be regarded as a conduit for heavenly interference in earthly affairs.
