1st “Living Well” Blog

Good Morning,
 
Its a brand new day, and you’re still alive, and for a lot of us its been that way for a while. I’m on a 29 year winning streak myself. I haven’t lost even one morning, that’s something like 10,000 and 0, so I guess that makes me a habitual winner.
 
Its naive to think we can sustain such long streaks of life on our own. Yeah, yeah, I know, “its just the cycle of life and has nothing to do with a Higher Being” I’ve heard the rhetoric before, in fact I once championed it. That is until I got in touch with the Higher Spirit within myself which could not be broken despite my regularly scheduled offensive campaigns against it. The war inside was perpetual, the enemy maintained a constant barrage of smart bombs designed to destroy my Spiritual Mind. Eat your heart out Vietnam. The collateral damage was tremendous, and the casualties were mounting. Faith was wounded. Peace was pinned down in an indefensible bunker, and it looked like surrender on the front lines. In fact, the Material Mind, which believes that this body is all there is to Wellington, had already raised the banner - Mission Accomplished (sound familiar?).
 
But then.
 
And I don’t mean to sound dramatic (yeah I do).
 
All of a sudden, aerial support. The enemy scattered back to the tree lines. And at the risk of sounding like some corny, badly written track - I was saved!
 
When I realized that I was not alone in the fight, and the Son of Man himself was my reinforcement, the hardiness in my Spiritual Mind returned, I rummaged through the dirt and debris and found my weapon which I had abandoned long ago. I reloaded. I took a deep breath. And I charged. And I’ve been on the attack ever since. Daily. Persistent. Never giving up any more ground. 
 
The principalities and the powers we face in high and low places do not respond to diplomacy. It takes force and will to effect change in our spiritual lives. This is warfare after all.
 
So today, if your back is against the wall, know that you have the best back up available. Even if you don’t believe He exists.

    Hey Linky,
    Hope you are enjoying the Feast as much as I am. As you very well know, Bahamians, in particular Yahweh House of Prayer would use any excuse to have a physical feast, so we are all feasting on Yahweh’s word and fellowshiping with one another.
    I was touched to read the article of that unforgetable summer in Georgia. I spoke with Antoine and as usual he has completely forgetten about the “Sunny D”, which led me to the conclusion that you drank it all by yourself. I forgive you my nephew.

    One day while interviewing a dedicated wife on her support for her husband,Oprah Winfrey said “I need a wife”. I agree with Oprah and I tell my husband that all the time. However, after reading your articles, I need an Uncle Meterius and an Aunty Ina for my little Hodeyah.
