Addicted to Comfort

 Dear Abba,

     We know You are NOT opposed to comfort. Otherwise, we would not have sent to us 'Another COMFORTer' (Helper, Advocate). John 14:16

What is addiction to comfort?

     Professionals purport "All addicts are driven by emotion," leading to impulse cues, obsession, and finally compulsive behavior. It is important to receive healing for damaged emotions. Furthermore, we must learn to regulate our emotions. Addiction to comfort is self-prohibitive and self-sabotage toward growth, change, and advancement. The outcome of addiction to comfort is stagnation. 

     Addiction to comfort undermines our ability to overcome adversity. Addiction to comfort displaces human grit and sheer will to move! It buries one beneath ease and relief. The scripture {Amos 6:1} that comes to mind is," Woe unto them that are at EASE in Zion." In Luke 6:24-25, Yeshua rebuked those who rested on their accomplishments and the laurels of success like a shield protecting them from calamity. Obsessing over ease and relief is restrictive. 

     If all believers long for is an easy life and times and relief from current difficulties, we will not rise up as the Kingdom of God to execute dominion and righteousness on earth. We have a mandate from Abba Yah to rise up despite opposition and contention! People do not overcome challenges when ease and relief rule. Freedom from addiction to comfort propels us to a breakthrough.

     The most detrimental times in our lives are often our finest hours! The song says, "Get up, sitting down, God can't use you sitting down." We shine as the Bride of Christ brightest in gross darkness. The power and authority of The Most High is greatly displayed as we move with Ruach Ha'kodesh. Now is not the time to bow to comfort, ease, relief, or convenience. It is the time for wisdom to dominate (Function as Kingdom Citizens in submission to God's sovereignty) in our metron. 

     It is the time to break forth and expand to the left and right. How about we do our part of the Shaking and Shaping? Walk worthy of your calling. Do the work of your calling. Fulfill your purpose. Be the hands and feet of Yeshua. Evangelize. Testify. Be fruitful.  Everything occurring in America and globally is not simply happening around us or to us; many things are happening for us.  May discomfort serve as a springboard and a launch pad for our dynamic release.   

Up, Up, Up, and Occupy!

Be Lifted!

Dear Reader, if you would like to be born again, we love that for you. Please email us after you have made your confession of faith. Please read Romans 10:8-9 and pray. See below.

Prayer: Dear Yeshua/Jesus, I repent of my sins and ask for your forgiveness. I believe you are the resurrected Savior and Messiah. Be the Lord of my life. Thank you, God, in all things. Amen.

Shalom, Shalom

Covered by The Most High

  Dear Abba,      In my time of reflection, I love to recall the goodness of the Lord. Every believer should remind themselves of the 'nobody but Abba Yah' moments. Testimonies allow our minds and hearts to hold onto Abba's love for us and the goodness He displays. They are proof of the answers to our prayers. Churches need to find creative ways to allow time for testimonies during services and or Bible Study. We need documented evidence for healings, miracles, and divine intervention. Many new believers need encouragement for their faith journey. Testimonies provide the boost and overcoming power to provoke faith, trust, and belief that we are covered by The Most High. Despite the chaos all around us, there is goodness happening everywhere. Despite the rise in evil works, divine intervention is present for individuals and families. Believers should pray with confidence in knowing we are covered.       I read a book several months ago, and the ...

I Don't Quit, I Shift!

Dear Abba,      This time last year I was stressed out functioning at full throttle. Adrenaline, and tension were driving me forward. Sometimes life happens and we maintain abnormal velocities to keep pace.  From October 2024 until April 2025 I would experience the longest sprint of my life. I was one of the caregivers for our mother as she approached the ending of her health challenges. While our relationship was not without hardship; I loved and honored her flaws and all. I may make her famed sweet potato pie in her honor this year for the holidays. 👀 Nevertheless, I am moving through life focusing on my future.       Thankfully, I am much calmer these days and my body, mind, and nervous system are finding a safer rhythm for me to live and thrive. The Most High made us with the capacity to adjust. Ruach helps us to regulate our emotions.  Kislev/November is the time we acknowledge Caregivers.  Happy Caregivers Month!     ...

Loving and Liking Your Position

  Dear Abba,       Some employees are in customer-facing roles in their jobs and they do not like working with the general public . I have had my issues with the public across several industries including ministry. Employees have valid reasons for disliking their jobs. They also have unreasonable expectations from working with the general public.       For example, customers will make requests according to their preferences for the products and services offered by the company . The workers facilitating the order may feel like the customer is taking something from them as they fulfill an order. They may feel more is required of them than what is received from their role .   An employee may feel a lack of appreciation depending on the interaction between the customers . The transaction can be taken personally by the employee . The truth is, the worker is doing a job they are paid to do . They are accomplishing their w...
