#TDJakes-Let it GO #forgiveness frees your body, mind, spirit and soul

Hello

A big warm welcome to KIMI’s blog- I am so happy and excited to share some personal breakthrough. I hope this information would be helpful in some shape or form. Please share and help me to spread the word.

I had a rough couple of weeks, I felt the weight of my troubles and it was becoming a sign of frustration for me. I listened to a very poignant sermon about breaking chains-and I received a pray to break the chains and to live freely in body, mind, spirit and soul. To also learn to listen to God and guide me throughout my life. My mind was so busy that I was unable to focus so I listened to soaking music by Julie True. I prayed afterwards and cast my cares and concerns to God, I asked him to guide me to find a solution. I then came across a TD Jakes Sermon-Let it go, every word of this spoke to me directly.

Below are the main points I took away:

-       You cannot reach your destiny whilst carrying your history in your hand.
-       You cannot reach your destiny whilst carrying historic offense, hurt and trauma.
-       You cannot fly and soar like an eagle if you are consumed in waste.
-       Harbouring offense, hurt, trauma will only keep you where you are- reliving the past offenses and wasted time spend to manage the pain.
-       To take offense is a learnt behaviour- how you process and define offense is what you have been exposed to in your environment.
-       Great people leads great lives because they don’t let small offenses effect their bigger purpose- there energies are all focused on the bigger vision of their purpose.

KIMI’s thoughts:

I would recommend the above sermon to anybody who is struggling with forgiveness in any shape or form. It’s such a complex concept because as TD Jakes says- what our definition of offense and how we react to it is learnt, so it becomes the norm and part of our make-up. I have been constantly asking the question about what is forgiveness and what does it look like? After 6 months I had my answer which is to live in wholeness and wellness that you are free in body, mind, spirit and soul. I hanged on every word and realised that I allowed my environment to consume me. l felt suffocated by the intensity of small town living. I now realise I felt suffocated because I allowed the offense(s) to harbour and its slowly killing my spirit for life. 

In a small town you don’t have the luxury of space and having the out of sight, out of mind mantra- so I spend time and energy (that I don’t have) to manage these harboured feelings that only purpose is to keep me where I am, which it does because after I managed this I don’t have much time and resources for anything else. During the pray I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit releasing the offense through my hands- I literally been holding on to this because every time I see the offended party- I would relive the offense which consumes my spirit.

To move forward I need to remain focus with my time- ‘how we use our time today is a prediction of our future’-S. K. I couldn’t agree more when I hear this on DayStar- you can spend the rest of your time managing these offenses (which can turn into a full time job in itself) or stayed prayed up and realise God’s word is the truth and we need to listen and apply his word to be truly free. I instantly felt lighter when I prayed for offenses to be released because I know my destiny requires and more deserving of my time and energy. I have faith and the belief that my destiny is greater than my history.

In short from now I need to:

-Cast my cares and concerns to God- he will deal with my offense(s)
-I will have a compassion that person can’t be in a good place, if they think that is the norm or acceptable therefore I will forgive instantly and pray for them.

Please share this and help to spread the word of forgiveness- it really is a gift that you give yourself- TD Jakes. If your memories are bigger than your dreams, then you are not living but just existing-unknown. Free yourself from any emotions that no longer serves you and start to live in the moment to shape an even better future. Enlarge your faith and not your problems that your destiny will be greater than your history. To lead a purposeful and productive life it starts with your thoughts and living freely in body, mind, spirit and soul. Forgiveness cleanses and heals the wounds, hurt and in the words of TD Jakes I am turning my misery into my ministry. 

Best wishes

Highly Effective People Strives For Excellence

Hello I hope you enjoyed the last 2 special blog posts about Parentalk and Abuse. I felt it was important for me to use this platform to raise awareness on topics that could make a positive impact on future generations. This week is back to talking about life, inspiration, motivation and ideas-this post was actually inspired by a rather dysfunctional event. Every day we have many distractions, which can keep us from our destiny if we chose to be consumed by it.  Our dreams has to be bigger than our current reality to cause us not to sweat the smaller stuff and that involves letting some things or people go. The difference between effective and not-effective people is how we chose to channel it. Below is how (after the initial annoyance) I done it. Just to put this into context- the individual(s) concerns were unable to take accountability for their actions / errors, instead what I observed was a misuse of power and the slow demise of an outdated organisation. Enjoy...

A book review – Part One - Dealing with Disappointment by John Hindley

This book was a relatively easy read with the simple idea that leaves you to question: is life just one big disappointment?  In many ways it does seem so; the author delves into different areas of disappointment in our lives. I suspect most if not all are relatable to everyone. Firstly, the author says we actually should be disappointed by life, as things are not as good as they should be. We live in a frustrated and frustrating world; the frustration is because of the fallen world when sin entered humanity. We all carry this divinely inbuilt sense that the world should and could be better. The book goes on to say that on the other hand, we are sometimes too disappointed with life.  We expect satisfaction from other areas of lives to overcompensate for this.  When this satisfaction is denied, it starts an over-disappointed cycle. For example, I came across a thread where the mum wrote in and expressed disappointment in her children’s grades, which led her to ques...

A seemingly insignificant act has the potential to change the world...

I loved learning about the story of Reformation Day. The significance centres on how the Bible became accessible for everyone to read - historically the general public wasn’t allowed to read it, only priests or those considered anointed within the church were allowed to read it. The priests read the Bible in Latin, so for most people, it wasn’t even possible to read it. God’s word was entrusted into the hands of those in power, who were deemed qualified to understand it.  What the priests were teaching, was not actually in line with what the Bible said, as one monk, called Martin Luther found out. He started to read the Bible for himself out of pure frustration.  According to the teachings of the priests, believing in God seem to be just to be an endless set of rules and it left him feeling as if he could never be good enough for God. Little did he know at the time, he was about to birth a revolution that quite literally changed the world. This set him on a path of ...
