Growing Outside Of The Box
A lot of us are limited, and we are only limited due to the fact we aren’t seeking the more we actually need.
And I love God so much for this because he will let you fight for something you don’t need until you get to the point that you break down and finally decide to reach out to him because you’re tired.
The only reason I love this is because most of us have to get to a point where we have to see for ourselves that we have no clue what we are doing.
We usually stray away from God because we give him a chance and then when he starts.
We immediately become uncomfortable and so then we panic and immediately say God you know what I got it and God is literally sitting on his throne like and sits back like “ok, Im here if you need me”.

As much as we would like to think, He doesn’t force the relationship and these things we think God is sending as “a test” or as “punishment for not obeying”, most of the time they are just reactions to us seeking and striving for the wrong things.
“Free will” means “FREE WILL”. He will let everything fall apart until you gather the fact that YOU DO NOT KNOW! We all want to be all-knowing but if we are honest, we have no clue what the heck we are doing.
A lot of us get to places that we think are our best and we get into it still trying to figure out “Why am I not yet satisfied, why am I not yet feeling whole” It’s because we thought we knew.
God’s grace and favor and covering are just so unmatched during these times because he knows we will all go through this moment in our lives.
This is why through every season I went through where I should’ve been locked up, dead, insane, I came out better than the plan the enemy had planned.
This is why there will be no other God before him, because even though we fall so hard he has the proper cushion to where the bones don’t break
But we have a little scar that heals but still remains visible because we need the remembrance of where we came from so that when we get tired and weary.
We have that visual within that scar of where you once were, and the older it gets the more you realize you just came too far to just sit down!
We oftentimes see our family and friends reaping things that we also emulated and to just simplify a lot of this conversation You won’t fit in their box, you won’t grow properly in their box.
Your kids aren’t the same as their kids, your parenting has to be different from theirs because you were given different cards What you felt was your destiny, IS NOT YOUR DESTINY!
Their box will not be able to fit you. Not because you’re bigger but because their measurements and the diameter and the sides do not fit the shape that God created you to be.
I must start growing outside the box! I must stop trying to emulate my bloodline and start creating my own flow!
Remember to pull your head back to eye level because you will never be greater or better than anyone, because you will never possess all the gems of the world, no one will.
Yes, you may have the money, but they might have had a life experience and have more knowledge in an area that you may not have. There always be someone with just a little bit more!
Because truth be told someone is always older, someone will always experience something you did not, it’s just impossible to be top of the world!
Grow outside of the box, ask God for the location and area, and grow. Stop seeking familiar things, and stop trying to recreate and revise old things. Ask God to open your eyes to YOU!
It’s time to step out of the box and become uncomfortable for a while to gain what it is God needs from us!
Say this to yourself daily
“Even though it seems heavy, it’s building muscle, even though it seems tough, it is building stamina. I will be able to take the lesson from the circumstance, I will not be confused again when going through it.
I will gain control of my mind to focus on what’s happening, along with processing what needs to be processed. I will no longer be just functional, but I will be fully effective in my life.
I will rid away the spirit of offense and gain what I can from all situations. And What the enemy meant for evil WILL ALWAYS BE FOR MY GOOD!
Growing Outside Of The Box Instructions
I struggled so badly with not being able to understand the bible, and it being so many versions and interpretations.
I prayed so hard one day that God didn’t allow me to stray away due to misunderstanding, but to gain understanding in the least painful way possible.
One day I was studying the scripture Death and life are in the power of the tongue” And I was saying to myself how do we have the power of life and death and people keep dying so prematurely?
And I don’t know but the theory of Maybe life and death is a state of being opposed to a state of living!
What if speaking life means we will not worry and we will go through life with a healthy mind as opposed to being suicidal and worrying all the time which would be death?
I don’t know but this was just my theory of the scripture and THE ONLY REASON I produced this theory is because of the simple fact that everyone has a death date regardless of what we do and how we go about life we still have a content death date.
So I felt as if the power of the tongue controls a state of being, and little do we know the mind is healthy and able can stop a lot of illnesses due to the way we think and us making better choices! But that’s just my theory.
Now when people ask me about different things in the bible, I quickly ask the question “Have you ever felt offended by the bible, and if so then what area produced your offense”?
Because in my mind I can’t give you my take if you’ve already developed a clear rejection of the bible.
But my overall description of the bible is a clear description of a guide book and once you get the chance to actually read and study.
My only advice would be to pray for the correct interpretation because I also believe there is no one interpretation.
Where everyone lives different lives, and the scriptures can have different meanings for different people.
I honestly do not believe that the bible wasn’t written to control you but it was written to warn! Don’t drink to get drunk.
Don’t have sex before marriage, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt have no other Gods before me, and so on and so forth.
These things are not selfish and are not to control, these things are to warn you.
People love to say all the time when talking about fornication that “marriage doesn’t last either” Yeah because many of y’all have sex before marriage and you don’t fall in love with the person.
Actually, get to see the person for who they are because the satisfaction of the flesh has consumed you both.
Now the sex has gotten old and now you’re both just too busy to have it and then you’ll start to see that there is no real attachment to each other besides the sexual contact!
Now one is trying to force the only connections while the other is becoming increasingly uninterested! Not saying you know I’m so clean because I have 2 kids out of wedlock, so I’ve lived all of this!
Every person I know that waited with their partner to have sex, saw exactly who their partner was before they got married. They see the red flags clearly.
Because there was nothing else there to really attach them to each other, other than true personality.
Yes, the flesh is weak, but you have to have some type of control! It seems controlling because you have no control over your own flesh or self.
This is why you must remain moldable and covered, which is why the church is important because the right church will supply the structure that is needed to stay focused!
When your life has no real structure, then you will have a weak mind! And once your mind becomes weak then everything will follow.
It takes so much effort to begin the cleanup journey, it may even almost seem impossible but once you take that first step, you have to realize this reality, it isn’t that the temptations come on stronger it’s just this time you’re trying to ignore them.
So it seems overwhelming because your flesh is fighting against your mind, and it isn’t the enemy trying to bribe you even more it is truly your flesh not having any type of structure.
We think that once we speak salvation and Go under the water, every type of desire goes away, and God warns us here in Romans 6:12 saying ” Do not let sin therefore reign in your mortal body so that you obey the body lusts”.
God knows how controlling your flesh is, it’s like a child, you have to train that thing up, children don’t listen at first and sometimes you want to give up on them lol because it becomes so overwhelming.
But I’m here to tell you it’s worth keeping on! The flesh is only attracted to what you train it to be attracted to.
Imagine your flesh is like cancer where once it has control over the body just one chemo treatment will not make it go away, just one day of dieting will not make your body get back together.
You have to stay consistent with it all to even have a chance to survive. And sometimes some people do not come back from it because they keep slipping and dibbling.
And dabbling and some don’t catch it quick enough so now your body has things going on that just can’t be wiped away.
THIS IS THE REALITY! THE FLESH IS WEAK, THE FLESH IS WEAK, THE FLESH IS WEAK. Your mind has to be stronger than every part of you The bible tells us in Colossians 3:2 To
