“God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and eternity our measurement. ”

Marcus Garvey

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

 God is saying, “I’m going to free you from the bondage of poverty and lack. I’m going to free you from the burden of depression and discouragement. I’m going to free you from every addiction, every bad habit.”

You don’t have to live in bondage to anything any longer! God’s arm of deliverance is outstretched toward you. He is setting you free from every bondage so that you can live the life of victory He has in store for you!

And Peter remembered and said to Him, Master, look! The fig tree which You doomed has withered away!
And Jesus, replying, said to them, Have faith in God [constantly].

Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him.

For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].

And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him and let it drop (leave it, let it go), in order that your Father Who is in heaven may also forgive you your [own] failings and shortcomings and let them drop.

But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your failings and shortcomings.

Mark 11

“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth”(Matthew 5:5 NK)

When most people hear that word “meek” many times they think of a weak, shy, reserved or timid person who lets everybody run all over them. But that’s not at all what it means to be meek. Meekness is not weakness; its strength under control. Meekness is like a wild horse that has been tamed. He’s just as strong, just as powerful, has just as much speed as before, but now that strength  is under control. You can walk up to him, pet him, lead the horse around, get on him and ride him. But don’t be fooled. He has the same power, the same tenacity as before, he’s just learned how to contol it.

When you’re a meek person, you don’t have to go around trying to straighten everybody out. You don’t respond to every critic. People may be talking about you, but you don’t let it bother you. You may have the  power to do something about it, but you realize your time is too valauable. You don’t fall for every distraction. Instead, you keep your focus on what God has called you to do. You keep your strength and power under control so that you choose to stay in peace and move forward in the victory the Lord has in store for you.

The country is in real trouble right now, with unemployment spiraling out of control. President Obama’s stimulus plan provides money to expand unemployment assistance. But a group of Republican governors, led by Louisiana’s Bobby Jindal, is trying to score political points by blocking that assistance from reaching the people who need it. It’s cynical and disgusting.

These governors are playing with people’s lives. They’re trying to further their political ambitions while showing they could care less about the fate of everyday folks–even in their own state.

Please join me in calling them out and forcing the media spotlight on them. I just signed ColorOfChange.org’s open letter demanding they do the right thing. Together, we can help make sure that in times of hardship folks get the assistance they need. It only takes a moment:

It’s incredible. President Obama’s stimulus package provides money for states to extend unemployment benefits for people in dire need of help, but a handful of Republican governors–Bob Riley of Alabama, Mark Sanford of South Carolina, Rick Perry of Texas, Sarah Palin of Alaska, Haley Barbour of Mississippi, and Bobby Jindal of Louisiana–are putting politics over people.

All six governors have threatened to turn down these funds. Four are 2012 presidential contenders, and they all have a vested interest in seeing Obama fail. They’re attacking the President’s policies to increase their own profile and cozy up to the most die-hard conservatives. They also claim that taking the stimulus money would leave their states in debt when it runs out in three years. But that argument rings hollow–state legislatures could reduce benefits to pre-stimulus levels at that point.

While these governors posture, Black folks suffer the most. In all of these states, Black unemployment is at least twice that of Whites–and in Louisiana and Mississippi, the two Blackest states in the Union, the unemployment rate among Black people approaches three times that of their White neighbors.

Please join me in telling these Republican governors to stop putting their personal and political interests above the good of all their states’ citizens. Demand that they accept all of the stimulus money designated for unemployment benefits. And please ask your friends and family to do the same by passing this message on.

 3 Poses for R&R
According to the editors of Natural Prescriptions for Women, joint-friendly sleeping habits can help protect creaky body parts from developing a crick. Choose one of these postures:

• If you sleep on your back, put a small pillow under your knees.
• If you sleep on your side, avoid tucking your neck and chin into the fetal position.
• If you sleep on your stomach, put a pillow under one side of your body so your head and neck aren’t strained.

Head held high
 
There’s no reason to be dismayed by what others say or do. If they want to behave negatively, that’s their problem, and not yours.
 
No person knows what’s best for you more than you do. No person knows what you’re capable of accomplishing more than you do.
 
Certainly other people can support and encourage you, and can be of great help to you, and you to them. See the good and the positive in those around you and connect with it.
 
Pay no mind to those who would drag you down with their criticism. There’s no need to let someone’s opinion stop you, for it’s just an opinion.
 
You are who you are, regardless of what others think, say or do. You are unique and worthy and filled with great possibilities.
 
Focus your energy, your awareness and your efforts on those positive possibilities. You are here, you are capable, and with your head held high you know that the best is yet to come.
 
– Ralph Marston

A person whose Moon tenants the ninth house seldom remains content with the status quo but restlessly pushes on into new territory.

They may reside abroad or they may enlarge the scope of their interests by pursuing a variety of sports, hobbies, and studies.

The urge to share their knowledge can make them a stimulating teacher who goes beyond facts to help their students develop their higher reasoning capacities. Such a teacher endeavors to develop the moral sense of their pupils in order that they may judge for themselves what is right or wrong.

There is an innate purposefulness in this combination which makes one want to guide and uplift those less enlightened than oneself.

Wow this blew my mind when I read it, This is so me.

Longevity comes from storage and accumulation. Those who are full of life observe heaven above and apply it on earth below. Those who can do this unfailingly evolve, so they can be liberated from the body. Those who understand the Great way soar beyond the clouds and rise to the immortal realms, able to travel far as flowing water and high as a flying dragon, going at high speed without tiring

- I came across this in my inspirational labeled emails. Dont know exactly where it came from, but I love it

I took my wife to a restaurant.  The waiter, for some reason, took my order first.  “I’ll have the strip  steak, medium rare, please.”
 
He said, “Aren’t you worried about the mad cow?”
 
“Nah, she can order for herself.”
 
             And then the fight started…..
