NO LONGER CRIPPLED,,written by J.E. Sturdivant
this is a book that really opened my eyes to a lot about life's failures and how to get back on then track that God wants us to be on ,,and off the Track that the devil has placed us on..
God is not a talkative ,he never waiste words,when he speaks it is done,,however when God repeats himself it is only for emphasis,,So when you hear VERILY VERILY I SAY it means that he wants to get your attention,,when God mention something thrice,,he is really trying to get your attention,,he said be strong three time's to Joshua,,Joshua 9:6-9
Affliction is only valuable when we have learned from it then it becomes our teacher,,this is our advantage in the misdt of dis-advantage
Acts 20:9 here is a man lambed from his mothers womb,,can we imagin being carried for nine months and bibng taking care of by that mother and then struggle to get out and then have to struggle in life? soon as he came out of his mother something went wrongand he became lame.life has a way of breaking you while your struggling to live some has been crushed emotionally,mentally,physically ans psychology CRIPPLED,,but God can squeeze the stuff out of us that life placed in us ans in result of that we surround ourselves with people like us,,and there is more unity in streetgangs than the church because streetgangs accept short commings and church folks act like it dont exist,,NOTHINGS WRONG with them!!!
POSITIONED BY PAIN
People find themselves in strategic spots where they need some one to enable them,being co-dependant,relying on others,lowering there standards,,EVEN accepting mental ,emotional and verbal abuse just to keep someone in there life cant make a Concrete decision because the pains of life,,looking down ones family line,,no one stayed married,every one had some sort of addictions of some kind no one has went to college as well as children being abandoned,and that can lead to some waiting for someone to validate them friends are limited they can only take us but so far
MIND SET EFFECTS MY MOVEMENT
God has allowed us to arrive at a Pivotal point in our life where we are about to go into something and come out of something,,either your ready to stay in or come out,,God want you to come out but the devil has his hand on your mind that you dont want or dont think that one can come out,,do you remeber the Cinderella story?? her situation did not change until her mind changed,,when she seen the beauty in herself and someone wanted her then her mind changed,,,,GOD IS SAYING IN ORDER TO GO INTO YOUR PROMISE THE MIND MUST CHANGE FIRST
GOD WILL HELP YOU MAKE THE CHANGE
not going to work with what I lost,But what I still have,,God is NOT going to maximizing the area of your deficiency and minimizing the area of your strength the area of your life that was broken IS NOT IMPORTANT TO GOD,,it is the area that still has STRENGTH is what he wants to work with

Pastor Bell
you know people go to church service after church service ,,prayer line after prayer line,,study with god all night long and STILL allow past strongholds to corrupt the inheritance that was given to them by the Father in Heaven,,because of the mind setting,,
past memories of failure set backs and disapoontments when the whole time God wants to use there setback as a set up,,take them from trama to triumph, but they don't believe that they are better than there mistakes No faith,,and without faith you can't please God

DO WE REALLY LIMITED GOD OR DO WE LIMITED OURSELF IN WHAT GOD CANDO FOR US AND THRU US I TELL PEOPLE ALL THE TIMES THATTHE REASON THEY ARE NOT WERE THEY SHOULD BE IN CHIRST OR LIFE IS BECAUSE OF YOUR SELF YOU ALLOW YOUR PAST OR PRES. TO HOLD YOU BACK IN PEOPLE WORD ARE SPIRIT AND IT UP TO YOU TO ACCPECT WHAT THEY SAY OR NOT .

AHHHH
Now my Sister you just set it off..LOl...
we must change our support system stemming from our old ways of being accepted,,,meaning thats why should we seek validation from some who're not really in our best intrest?? we need to be validated in order to fit in or to be loved..when appear to be needed,,you will attract some one who will use you,,we bacame crippled by continue to cast our pearls before swine,,meaning our fellings,emotions and mind set,,be carefull who you tell you love them especially when they're showing no indication that they love you..develpoe a realtiondhip with GOD and he will show that person how to love you,,ever meet some one and they treat you mentally better than some that used you??that is a sign of CHANGED,,Gods presentation for you will blow your mind ,,you could not tell it all because you will be stunned that Mr.Right found you doing what pleases God..anything that pulls you away from God is not from God,,,and anything that draws you to God is from God...be blessed Woman of God

I believe that if you keep doing what your doing then get what you keep getting!!!
God is challenging us for GREATNESS,,we have to get to the point where we expect a change,,EXPECTANCY IS THE LANDING GROUND FOR YOUR MIRACLE

OK Rev now you know you teaching up in here. Just to add Eric you mentioned about not limiting God that is so true a lot of time we have our preconceived ideas of how God is going to move and we position our self in the way we think and find God wasn't going to deliver that way. In order to maximize your full potential you must understand the spiritual stimulus presented in front of you. However what is required is the right kind of response but when you have allowed your surrounding to deceive you God is limited to what he can do for you.

Rev.Luckett
I try to teach the three T's
TRANSFORMED,TRANSPARENT,TRANSFERED
we must first be transparent when come to the father because he knows all,,we can lie to ourself and friends, But not God,,SECOND Transformed by the renewing of the mind,,this is what keeps us CRIPPLED you cannot put new wine in OLD wine skins because they will break,,our wilderness methodology will only keep us crippled when god wants to come a different way and spirit cant dwell where there is confusion ,strongholds must come down..THIRD Transfered form old life style that kept us crippled to where we dont need to be like the man at the pool of Bethesda when Jesus do you want to be made whole he began giving excuses on why he could not be blessed even when Jesus was there skins him CAN I BLESS YOU??HE WANTED TO GIVE HIS BIOLOGICAL SCRIPT AND THAT IS NOT WHAT THE SON OF GOD WAS ASKING,,IT WAS YOUR BIO THAT BROUGHT ME HERE CAN I BLESS YO?? his mind has not been transfered to receive

the mind is a terrible thing to waste

Now that we're in Christ we are new creatures
I learned that we also must take our HOLY PUBLIC CONVERSATIONS into our private life,church people are so Holy in Public BUT something else when they're alone with there friends..some have Master degrees and P.H.D but a wilderness mouth and mentality,,a mind and mouth methodology,,we can no longer allow it to cripple us when it is not needed

it is a wonder you mentioned old mind ,,I kind of think about old thoughts or one track mind,, we must not allow our minds to look for Gods visitation in the old way,,God can come many different routs he will come a new way using new things,,remember the children of Isreal and the Joshua Generation,,the God said that your kids never seen me move the way that you seen me move there God will use your kids to lead you because they seen him move one way when he wanted to move another way,,if he would have moved a different way they would have said that it was not God,,so therefore he performed a new thing and moved in a different way because they were use to there own methodology,,,bottom line lets not limit Gods Visitation

AS living organisms we adapt to our environment and whatever we are exposed to we adjust to. Now you have learned behavior the mind has been manipulated to respond to life on life problems based on the way you grew up. You become an adult and you get saved but the mind does not get renewed you are anointed you preacher you pray for others and they get healed you prophecy all is good so you think until troubles of life and you find out that your thought process has not changed at all that your mind has yet to be renewed in God. Now how does this happen again you adapt to your new surroundings and respond off it as once before. So you see you can take a broken mind set in to a new environment and find the old mind is still within you
