Hey..

As I'm towering over these obstacle in life, fearing the things I can't see grips my heart! I want to be one that will leave this place called earth better then how I found it. I have so many fears that circulate in my mind - what if I'm not as good as people say I am? What if my attempts go unrecognized? What if I talk this game and nothing comes of if? What if my faith isn't good enough to get me to the "next level"?

To be honest, man I'm just like everyone else - I have fears and sometimes those fears cripple me to the point that I live in the past. I've been hurt by some many people that I'm scared to trust. I've lost EVERYTHING that I've owned and sometimes it seems like there's no hope for me! What about an album - not to mention that album flopping. When will it be my turn to allow the world to hear my heart? What if I choose the wrong woman for my wife?

As these thoughts chase after my dreams I only have one thing to rely on - The Holy Scriptures.

So when these thoughts chase my dream and say:

• What if I'm not as good as people say I am?
  

  Psalm 139:13-15 tells me that I'm Fearfully and wonderfully made! And Psalm 12:2-3 tells me that many speak vanity with their flattering lips. A double heart do they have so watch those with sweet words.

• What if my attempts go unrecognized?
  

  Proverbs 13:4 states the sluggish man craves but gets nothing, but those whom are DILIGENT shall be made fat (FULLY SATISFIED from the ATTEMPTS). The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but the one that is hasty will only want - Proverbs 21:5 states that.

• What if I talk this game and nothing comes of if?
  

  Matthew 25:23 has recorded "his master replying, "Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' " 1 Cor. 4:2 said that it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful!

• What if my faith isn't good enough to get me to the "next level"?
  

  John 15:1-5 articulates "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

• Just  live in the past.
  

  Ephesians 4:31-32 has it plainly stated "Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. James 5:9 goes on to say do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you[yourselves] may not be judged. Look! The Judge is [already] standing at the very door.

  
  
• Don't trust anyone.
  

  Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 says "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."

• There's no hope for you.
  

  Hear this from Psalm 35:27 - Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, “Let the LORD be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”

• What about an album - not to mention that album flopping!
  

  Proverbs 3:24-26 states When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

• When will it be my turn to allow the world to hear my heart?
  

  Psalm 37:7-9 hit it hard! It says, "Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil. For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land."

• What if I choose the wrong woman for my wife?
  

  Proverbs 31:10-31 gives me a guide on who to select:

   ¹⁰ A wife of noble character who can find?
         She is worth far more than rubies.

   ¹¹ Her husband has full confidence in her
         and lacks nothing of value.

   ¹² She brings him good, not harm,
         all the days of her life.

   ¹³ She selects wool and flax
         and works with eager hands.

   ¹⁴ She is like the merchant ships,
         bringing her food from afar.

   ¹⁵ She gets up while it is still dark;
         she provides food for her family
         and portions for her servant girls.

   ¹⁶ She considers a field and buys it;
         out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

   ¹⁷ She sets about her work vigorously;
         her arms are strong for her tasks.

   ¹⁸ She sees that her trading is profitable,
         and her lamp does not go out at night.

   ¹⁹ In her hand she holds the distaff
         and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

   ²⁰ She opens her arms to the poor
         and extends her hands to the needy.

   ²¹ When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
         for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

   ²² She makes coverings for her bed;
         she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

   ²³ Her husband is respected at the city gate,
         where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

   ²⁴ She makes linen garments and sells them,
         and supplies the merchants with sashes.

   ²⁵ She is clothed with strength and dignity;
         she can laugh at the days to come.

   ²⁶ She speaks with wisdom,
         and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

   ²⁷ She watches over the affairs of her household
         and does not eat the bread of idleness.

   ²⁸ Her children arise and call her blessed;
         her husband also, and he praises her:

   ²⁹ "Many women do noble things,
         but you surpass them all."

   ³⁰ Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
         but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

   ³¹ Give her the reward she has earned,
         and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

HEEEEYYYYYY!!!

I know its been awhile since I've blogged and PLEEEEEEEEASE FORGIVE ME! I pray that you are doing well as you read this NEW ENTRY. I want to hear from you so please hit me at fansupport@whoisyoung.com - send comments, essays, support mail, testimonies - YOU NAME IT SEND IT and I will try my best to respond in a timely fashion.

Well since the last time I spoke to you there has been so many changes that has taken place in my life. I'm on tour with my book - I'm preaching more this year - I've had several interviews (radio and newspaper) - I started a radio segment called GRACE 2 SPEAK (a spin off from my book) - and I could go on and on with my spiritual life but I wont. You get the pictures...

Well today I want to blog about promises - I called it " My Fault - I FORGOT"

I pray that you're having the best day of this year! I just wanted to drop a line or two on you to say hello. Despite my schedule becoming hectic by the minute I was reminded of a promise that I made to one of my friends - it was simply to take out the trash before I left their house. Well in my heist to make sure I made it to my next appointment I FORGOT TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH!!! Needless to say the next time I spoke to them there was a little distance between us.

I asked them about my concern [their shortness with answers and sarcastic comments]. To me it wasn't a big deal - I took it out when I got the chance plus their hands nor legs were broke - LOL. Well they explained to me that because I'm a man of my word they hold me to a higher standard then others. This one event had me thinking about ALL the other tasks that I "PROMISED" to get but never got around to doing. Then I started to think "Man what does God think about me and ALL MY PROMISES". So I looked it up and this is what I found:

• Numbers 30:2 (New International Version) When a man makes a vow to the LORD or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said.
  
  
• Deuteronomy 23:21 (New International Version) If you make a vow to the LORD your God, do not be slow to pay it, for the LORD your God will certainly demand it of you and you will be guilty of sin.
  
  
• Deuteronomy 23:23 (New International Version) Whatever your lips utter you must be sure to do, because you made your vow freely to the LORD your God with your own mouth.

Now these are just a few scriptures that deal with making promises [vows] and how we are to respond to each. I pray that you find value in these example as I have. I now watch and track each promise that I make - I want to make sure I fulfill each one that I establish. Please feel free to respond with your comments, questions and/or concerns.

GOD BLESS

Okay, I'm setting in my office listening to Kim Burrell's "Try Me" from her Live project, and I've finally found time to write. As you might has seen numerous eblast, emails, and/or updates from the site - Grace 2 Speak is published! YES!!! Praise Jesus the mile stone has been reached but its far from over. Just as Kim repeats in her song - HERE I AM, LORD TRY ME!!! Fellow artist such as Sir. Charles, Stephon, Lacrea, Tripp Lee, P-Manna all scream HERE WE ARE, LORD TRY US!

So I want to set straight those that think we will stand by and watch them die not knowing Christ, the true body of Christ has a mission and we WILL FULFILL the mandate. If you are reading this very blog, I pray that the Holy Spirit begins to work upon your heart. If you don't know what or who the Holy Spirit is, lets just say its the 3 person of the Godhead that leads us and corrects us as well live down here on earth.

I know millions are hurting and looking for affection - if not direction. Please know that Jesus Christ died that you might have a open relationship (communication) with God the Father. Lets set the record straight, God is a God of justice but He's also merciful. It pleases Him when his children trust Him in good and bad times. Just as Kim is SCREAMING in her song "HERE I AM", I pray that you begin to scream the same.

The book Grace 2 Speak is part trail but 100% VICTORY through Christ JESUS! I know there were many times I screamed LORD HERE I AM..why can't anyone see me? Believe me, I wasn't alone - don't mean to spook you out - I KNOW THE HOLY SPIRIT was there because a calm state of mind came upon me when the trails were blazing in front of me.

I started this 10 LINE BLOG to say that my book is out and please go support, but I believe someone needs to know JESUS is closer than they think. The whole purpose is to point people back to Christ, and God is raising a body of people (prayfully you that is reading this blog) to turn the world upside down for his sake! Okay, enough of my writing! Replay the song and allow this to be your focus for today. Be available and God will fill you and use you!

Today I open my eyes to see another beautiful day that the creator allow me to see. I begun to smile. As i started my day, thoughts from yesterday and problematic questions ceased my train of thought. I did what  a everyone else would do, i gave attention to these suggestions.

• I'm working hard to make sure my bills are paid on time even thought one or two may slip thru the cranks and i have to hear the bill collectors mouth. "But you don't see what I'm going thru. I will get you the payment when i get it. I'm being effect by this BailOut" runs thru my head and before leaving my lips to crumble the collectors ear passage.

• Maybe people really don't take me serious with the message that i pour out each time i slave behind a mic to tell them of a Jesus that they can't see but have to trust in.

• Maybe because i gave up an apartment to live with my sister to work for a church then lose that job to only be where i am now...maybe that wasn't worth it.

• Maybe I should just leave everything behind and just start fresh in a new town and state with new friends and all.

• I don't see the effect I'm making on my arena, my community, and/or my friends that are the closest to me. So why should i keep moving with what I'm preaching and teaching.

These thoughts gripped my heart in such a manner that i couldn't focus on anything. I sat at the computer just in a daze because of these random thoughts. I began to listen to JR's album: Metamorphosis : track 14: For Me (Interlude) on repeat. The simple words "Just For Me, Jesus Came and did it, Just For Me".

I shock my self and ran to the Word and look to see what it had to say about the suggestion that was presented by my thoughts to me as a Child of the King. Well..

• 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 told me to stop looking at the flesh as if it is what I'm fight, I have to really take into consideration the spirit. Everything I'm fighting must be defeated in the spirit and bring the captivity [my thoughts] to act as Christ would think.

• Proverbs22:7 and Romans 13:8 told me to pay my debt but Luke 6:38 tells me to keep sowing and working hard because its coming back to me. As a faithful steward over God's funds Philippians 4:17-19 told me that my God will cover all my needs which is being debuted from his account in Glory.

• Both Matthew 10:32 and Luke 12:8 stated that I should continue to talk about Jesus because he's talking about me.

• John 15:16 said shut and stop crying like a lil dude. God ordained the process for me to walk thru and experience. I will be glad of this because i will mature and hold wisdom forever. Also because of the relationship God and i have formed i can ask what i want because i will have wisdom to ask for the right items.

• 2 Corinthians 4:2 told me to keep "NOT PREACHING DECEITFULLY", 1 Corinthians 1:17 told me to continue to keep it simple, Luke 4:18-19 said to go because I was anointed and Luke 10:2 said many talk about going but few actually go out to where people need to hear about Christ. Jesus..i mean the WORD..lol..stated that I don't have nothing to worry about because while I'm on my grind Christ is there with me, Matthew 28:18-20.
  

Needless to say..after reading all of that I felt so much better! But there was one scripture that just hit me like a 35mph baseball coming off a wood bat..Acts 17:6..I will be that dude that TURNS the World Upside Down 4 Christ!!!
