A storm is raging and people are in danger. FEMA can’t do anything about a storm. The storm is God’s territory. I pray for those in the storm, that no lives are lost, that no families are separated, that people’s fears are abated. I know winds destroy property; I pray for the preservation of life. I pray for Godly intervention in the lives of families in Florida. I thank You that winds are subsidizing. I pray for protection from both hurricane winds and spawning tornadoes for those in the path of storms. After the storm, I pray that they recover mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. I pray that God's Spirit guides those who lead recovery efforts in all aspects.

This is an extensive read, but I chose to share the full reflection. I hope it resonates with you

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully [reverently] and wonderfully [awe-inspiring] made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
--Psalms 139:13‭-‬14 NIV

“The word of the Lord came to me, saying, ‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.’”
--Jeremiah 1:4‭-‬5 NIV

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
--Ephesians 2:10 NIV

The next time you wonder if your life has purpose, if you are just an accident of nature, think of the God who made you. God was intentional in shaping a unique "you." He made you to inspire awe as you served the purpose for which you were created. There are specific needs in the world you were designed to meet. Your gifts come alive, your passion ignites when you encounter those needs. Seek God's face and ask Him who you are designed to be. Hear His voice when His Spirit answers. Follow His guidance as you prayerfully live out your calling.

Live this life as if you are "on purpose!" You were made for this!

I pray that God will raise up anointed men and women leaders in this nation who have a heart for Him. Such men and women will lead in ways that He is glorified and the lives of others are edified/improved. I pray that this generation of young Believers will be anointed to stand, to recognize the spiritual warfare they encounter, and use the right weapons to fight this war. I pray God's overt and recognizable Hand be evident in current events as the wicked are converted or convicted. I must pray this in response to Jesus' teaching to pray for others--even the enemy; for me to be salt and light in this world; to let my light shine that men may see my works and God be glorified. I must pray for my own sanity. This is not an easy prayer. It is a necessary prayer . www.impactfulliving.net

A Reflection on July 4, 2024:
I am posting this photo of my father Cisroe Pearson, juxtaposed with the flag of the United States of America because the composition captures the dichotomy of his existence as an American citizen. He was born in this country in 1905. He grew up in the segregated south, last hired, first fired, using colored water fountains, restrooms and riding in the back of the Twin City Bus. He was an incessant reader, artist, and critical thinker.

He bought a two room burnt out shell of a house (purchased from an African American developer) and rebuilt it into a seven room home for his family. He worked at a lumber mill to support his family. As a master carpenter, he built multiple houses throughout our hometown. He and my mother paid the loan on that house, bought a car and paid it off, and provided a safe warm invigorating life for me in our segregated town. He gave me a single message, "I could be anything I wanted to be. I just had to work hard." I never heard from him that I was inferior. I never heard that there would be limits on who or what I could be. It was understood that I was going to college. He died my Freshman year of college on September 28, 1970. Upon his death, I received a Social Security check from his earnings for the four years I attended college.

In the same country where there were laws designed to restrict him, he built a life. He did not just exist. He built a life. He dreamed for himself and for me. In the same country where laws were designed to restrict him, Social Security supported my receiving a college degree as an African American student at a predominately White institution. I made lifelong friends with several White professors at that institution. Living within this dichotomy, God has blessed me to thrive as well.

That is the complexity of being an American of African dissent on July 4, 2024 in the United States of America. Both opposition and opportunity co-exist in my life. I acknowledge both truths. There were systems designed to hinder my development and, simultaneously, systems designed to support my development. Through it all, God has guided and kept me and my family. The complexity of it all defies labels such as liberal and conservative. Democratic and Republican don't even come close to defining the true nature of this nation. Sound bites and shrill voices don't do it justice. It's complex.

Great opportunity to teach about Gideon as he learned to see himself as God saw him--"A conqueror, not a coward!" Gideon had to let go of a troubled past, a low self-image, and a weak faith. What do you need to let go of to thrive? ,edd www.impactfulliving.net https://lnkd.in/d5D2Z5wA

Every Tuesday night, Omega Men of God meet for prayer. I continue to be amazed at the circles God has placed me in over the last several years. In my life, I have partied with Omega Men, stomped with Omega Men, done community service with Omega Men, registered voters with Omega Men, and now I pray with Omega Men weekly. I am .

God became a man, ministered, went to a cross for our sins, went into a tomb, rose from the dead, declared all power, and gave us a charge to go and share this truth. His Spirit empowers us to witness this truth.

As we pray and worship on Resurrection Sunday, let's keep this reality before us--- He arose just as He said He would!!

Matthew 28:5-6 NIV‬
[5] The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. [6] He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.

‭Matthew 28:18-20 NIV‬
[18] Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. [19] Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, [20] and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

We are privileged and empowered to effectively share this powerful truth!
