Motivation for Monday: Keep on Keeping on

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

2 Corinthians 1 NIV

With this verse I send out prayers of comfort for those who are in mourning, for those who are heavy in heart, and for those who are wondering why life is so hard. I want to send out this prayer so that you are aware that you are not alone. Your testing and your trials are not in vain. Hold on, and keep on keeping on.

Lord, keep your children

You said that you will never leave us nor forsake us

As we live this life that you have placed us in

Protect us

lead us beside still waters

restore our life

so that we know

even though we walk through the dark places in this life

the end of it means that we will be with you

Lord, help us fulfill our purpose here

so that we can go home

Let us not take this gift of life for granted

but Lord give us meaning, give us our visions, give us the strength

to keep on keeping on

send us the comforter 

and let us know him

Thank you for your warnings

Thank you for your answers

Thank you for your love

Thank you for hope

Thank you for the pressure of purpose

Thank you for deliverance

Thank you for an expected end

Thank you for hearing our prayers

in the name of Jehovah

In the name of my mighty King

Yeshua Hamashiach

That we have come to know as

our Lord and savior Jesus Christ,

the son of the one and true living God

Amen

Here's the thing, I think some of us give out the wrong impression about what the Christian life should look like.  Many of us are not aware that the Christian Life is not an easy life to live.  It is a life of constant growth.  With this kind of understanding we can see that growth means we have to push our way through some things.  We can do it with the help of the Lord.  We can do it with the Jesus inside each and everyone of us.

  Many of us are not aware of the day and time that we are in.  We are in the time of sorrows.  There are many things that are falling apart in this world system that are affecting many of us.  As our friends, our family, and our associates are experiences major pitfalls in life, we, as their Christian brothers and sisters should feel their pain.  It's going to come on us all.  We are to help each other through these hard times.

You don't have to do it by yourself!

5For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. 6If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. 7And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.

2 Cor 1:5-7

Do you really want to know why life is so hard?  Because it is supposed to be . . . Do you want to know why it seems like life is only happening to you?  It is because we don't share our downsides, our pitfalls, or our real feelings with others.  We hide things.  We suppress things, way deep down in the crevices of our subconscious minds.  And as these burdens fester in the dark, we self medicate to cover the symptoms of our despairs.  I'm not pointing the finger, because we all do it.  This is why I write this blog.  I am working on myself.  I am trying to get in touch with the real me, not the fake me that I want to portray on facebook and Instagram.

Who are you really?

We need to get to know ourselves. I know that you will take the time to do that. I do want to motivate you. I want to let you know that you are not alone. You are not the only one having a hard time in this life. We go through the things we go through so that we can be stronger. We go through the things that we go through so that we can help others.

But Why? Why does it have to be so hard?

It has to be hard because the resistance is what builds the muscle.  We have an enemy that wants to see us loose our gift of eternal life.  There is a bigger plan for us in eternity.  Ultimately, we have to see that part of the design is for us to become unified and work together.  We have to learn that we are each uniquely designed and written for a purpose.  We each hold a key inside our hearts, to open the doors, that are closed to this world.  Each of us, are a door, that possesses a lock, for each key to find.

The Holy spirit will help us find those doors.

Here is your motivation for Monday:

You are not alone


so Keep on Keeping on . . .

8We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters,^a about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. 9Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. 10He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, 11as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.

2 Corinthians 1:8-14

Peace be with you

Rejoice that God has good things in store for you

Find your purpose and live it.

You will feel so much better.

Until Next Time

I use bible hub to pull up my scriptures.  I simply go to google and type in the first part of the verse I am looking for.  I always choose the Bible Hub link.  This study was from 2 Corinthians which was the second letter from Apostle Paul to the Corinthians.  He was explaining his troubles and his heaviness during his journey in the first chapter.  Lesson to learn: We are supposed to comfort each other in unity and in love.

Teacher Tuesday: How to be successful in times of Crisis?

Good Morning,

If this is your first time joining, my name is Tamorra and I go by Art Teacher 4 Purpose.  I write, create and promote information that will help you find your purpose in life.  This was not what I always considered my job.  The Holy Spirit is definitely training me on the difference between my job and my work. 

Your work is part of who you are.  Your work is part of your purpose.  Your work is something that God had designed you with to make positive change in this world.  Your job however, is just something that you do because you trust that it will give you a paycheck.  Your work will go with you where ever God sends you.

What if I were to tell you that your purpose, and that using your gift will make you prosperous?

I would like to connect you to this awesome teacher that can help get you closer to your purpose.  I know that I have mentioned him before in past posts.  His name is Dr. Myles Munroe.  He was a Kingdom teacher from the Bahamas, who has since passed away.  His teachings on the Kingdom are powerful.  We should definitely listen and learn from his insights on the word of God.

There was a time not long ago that I did put all of my time and energy on a job that did not respect my talents.  The job did not respect who I was as a child of God.  Instead, it used me until it used me up.  I had put too much faith in something that was not for my good.  Now I know that God knows what is good for me.  He knows what is good for all of us.

When I got laid off, I felt this sense of relief but I also felt the burden of failure.  I had worked all my life to please people by doing what I was told to do.  I went to school, I got good grades, I got the job, the house, the family, and degrees.  However, I still wasn't happy.  Life just wasn't working out and I felt cheated.  I know how that state of uncertainty feels.  This is why I write this blog.  To help you through a transition to your new life with God.  This new life is not about having to earn a place to get on God's good side.  This is not how God works.  Instead, life is a gift.  The Lord wants you to enjoy life by having a real relationship with him.

Crisis is inevitable.  I know people don't see what I see, but this realization is going to happen to a lot of people.  The world system is going to collapse.  Many of us feel the pressure all around us.  It is almost too much to handle.  God is saying to give it to him.  Give him all of your burdens and your concerns.

I encourage you to take the time to listen to this message.  This message is for you, especially if you are going through a hard time at work or at home.  There is a reason why this is happening to you.  Dr. Myles is going to give you some tips on how to get through it.

Take the time to listen to good messages.  It is worth your learning and your development.  I have a warning for you not just to seek out messages on prosperity, this is not the whole picture, it is only a part.  I encourage you to develop a personal relationship with the Lord so that he can guide you through this journey.

Live your Life with God

Live your Life on Purpose

Until Next Time

Motivation for Monday: Breaking the Rules

"You must learn how to break the rules that confine you, in order to experiences the supernatural laws that will help you fly."

I say this with much confidence as I am  reflecting on my theory of Proximity Perspective Persuasion.  In this theory I am convinced that the reason why we see and don't see things spiritually is because of how close or how far we are from the understanding of what is the supernatural.  If we really want to gain understanding of who we are and what this life is for, we must submerge ourselves in God's word and in God's world . . .

"The experiences of life have convinced me that we all have a unique perspective of the world around us.  We are all looking from different perspectives and therefore our realities are only our own.  Good, bad, fair, or unfair, only we can make our minds up to know who we are.  We ourselves have to change our minds to follow the will of God."

"Transitions into Life" by Tamorra Goldsboro

This current thought process reminded me of a story that Dr. Myles Munroe had spoke about. He was explaining his experience when learning about the law of aerodynamics. :

He asked a pilot:
"How does 600 thousand pounds leave the ground?"

The pilot answered, "600 thousand pounds leaves the ground because the law of gravity is canceled out by another law called lift. . .  We don't destroy the law of gravity, we actually use it . . .the speed creates a new law. . ."

Dr. Myles explained that it was in man's heart to fly. We wanted to do it but we didn't know how. Logically, it was an impossible feat to get something in the air and keep it up there to travel a long distance with the use of engines. However, it was eventually discovered that an airplane could fly once it reached a certain speed. 

Check out his awesome teachings here, as he relayed it to the Kingdom of Heaven.

What does this mean for you?

Imagine that you are the plane.  The speed that a plane was to reach depends on it's weight and the weight that it is carrying.  If it ever so happened that the plane dropped below that speed, it would stop flying,  it would start falling, and it would crash.  With wings, a craft could take flight because it entered into a new law.  The law of aerodynamics.

When an aircraft (you) flies, there are other forces that are acting on the plane. The force of lift makes the plane fly and the force of thrust makes the plane go forward. But for every force there is an equal and opposite force, these two forces are weight (gravity) and drag.

The faster you go, the more lift you have. It becomes impossible for an aircraft to stay on the ground once it reaches a certain speed and a certain lift.

"If it stays on the ground it will destroy itself."

Dr. Myles

I briefly explained this law so that I can explain to you, if you stay on the ground you will destroy yourself. You must fly! You were shaped to fly!

  Just like there are weights that make us heavy in life, it is not impossible to take flight. We just have to apply the right law to cancel out the heaviness of life. We just have to find that thing that is going to help us fly. Once we reach the correct speed with the Holy Spirit nothing is going to keep us down. Nothing can hold us down!

Ponder on this thought: If you continue to travel like everyone else, how will you ever know if there is a better way to get to your destination?

Here is the motivation for Monday:

I believe you can Fly!

You must believe that you can fly too . . .

This is the law of spiritual-dynamics.  All you need is faith (lift) and passion (thrust) to act against those forces of evil that try to keep you weighed down.

Fly out of stress

Fly out of worry

Fly out of depression

Fly out of stumbling

Fly out of chains

Fly out of negativity

Fly out of bondage

Fly

Fly

Fly 

Fly into the sunset of your purpose

You can do this.

You can live this life on Purpose!

Until Next Time

Throwback Thursday: Good Friends

As the end of the day draws near, I like to take the time to reflect and be thankful.  I just finished praying for my friends.  My good friends.  I just started to thank God for sending them to me.  I thanked God for their strength and their words of encouragement.

God knows what he is doing when he sends you good friends.  I just want to send out a special thanks to Sha'Ron, and Tene.  Wish you ladies the best and I thank you for being a friend.

Wisdom Wednesday: Find wise Counsel

I am well on my way of finding a new circle and this is why . . .


I love my family and my friends, but I am quickly starting to see that they do not know what I want to know about business.  They only know what they know and therefore they can only teach me what they know.  I am understanding that the people around me know how to play it safe. Playing it safe is not a characteristic of an entrepreneur.

I am just starting to build my business on this online platform and I am building it from scratch.  I do this blog to practice my writing and my editing skills.  But now it is time to go the next step.  But how do I go the next step if I don't have the know how?  I have to seek wise council in the area that I want to grow in.

They say that if you are the wisest person in your group, then you have to find a new group . . . I don't totally agree with this statement. I want to keep my friends.  I think I picked some really great ones.  I think that there is something special in each and everyone of us.

The truth is that you have to surround yourself with what you want to know.  Why?  Because it is a biblical principle.  "Faith comes by hearing . . . and hearing . . . and hearing."  You will start to believe what you put yourself around.  If you have a goal that you want to achieve, you don't want to fill your head with a bunch of non sense.  No, you have to get focused.  You have to surround yourself with knowledge that is going to help you grow into your purpose.

I know that a good foundation is key.  Therefore, I am not the person to cut off my family or leave my church family behind.  This is my foundation in the Lord, and I know that God put me right where he needed me to be.  The reason why he places us where we are, is so that we could provide the gifts that we have with others; so that they could share theirs with us for our growth .  However, for those who are bringing constant drama and gossip; they got to be kept at a distance because they can stunt our growth.

Our purpose is to grow!

Everyone's purpose is to grow.  So, I started to ask myself why do so many chose not to grow?  A lot of people I know find their comfort zone and they stay in it. But the word of God always talks about the process, about sowing,  watering, and growing.  I thank God for the seeds that he has planted in me.  I thank God for the increase.  What seeds did he plant in you?  What are you supposed to be sharing with others?  I'm so glad that God made each and everyone of us special.

Glory be to our God!

With that said, I am ready to learn more.  The Holy Spirit is leading me into deeper understanding about growth.  One of those revelations is that you have to seek after what you want to know.  Sometimes this means you have to find the people you know the things that you don't know.

In other words: Seek wise council.

I prayed to God for wise council.  I thank the Holy Spirit for guidance and for the opportunity to live my journey.  Yes, this is my journey and you have one of your very own.  My desire is to learn more about being a writer and  to learn more about how to make it a profitable business.  Let me share with you who I'm listening to and reading about.

Mark Batterson 

He is a pastor and author of "Draw the Circle" and many other books.  He teaches on prayer and has great wisdom in this area.  By reading his books I am learning about how to be bold for Christ, how to pray by faith, and how to believe the promises of God.  Check him out on his site:

https://www.markbatterson.com/

Seth Godin

He is an author who taught me about how important it is to write everyday if I really wanted to improve my skills as a writer.  My favorite quote from him so far is from his book "Tribes," or it could have been "Linch Pin." I just know that it stuck with me!

"No one is going to see your PowerPoint presentation and give you a million dollars!"

. . .At least this is how I remember the quote and it means so much more than what it actually says . . . to me anyway.  Check his blog out, he definitely takes time to think about education, about entrepreneurship, and about leadership.

Tiphani Montgomery

Woman of God! Woman of God!

She is the Founder of the Millions Conference and business woman extraordinaire.  This is who God sent to me to let me know that he has awesome plans for all of us.  She is an entrepreneur/speaker/motivator/author for women who are looking to make bold moves for Christ.  Just an awesome energy to be around.  

In the video below she is talking about the 9 things she learned about being an entrepreneur.  One of those things was,  "not everyone is going to be able to come with you!"

Terry Savelle Foy

Terry is awesome for the beginner looking to follow their dreams.  She is the motivator of dreams.  That is her gift.  She is an author/speaker/motivator/entrepreneur.  She has helped me so much in my journey.  Check out her book "Dream It, Pin It, Live It."  It had a lot of motivational stories about achieving your dreams, goal setting, and mindset. Check her out.

Alyssa

I just found Alyssa and I think she is awesome!  She has a channel on YouTube  called "Awesome Acts" where she talks about the awesomeness of God.  She has some great testimonies and I really like listening to them. Check her out.

Kytia L'amour

I'm just going to say . . . She's my friend now! Hey Kytia.  Entrepreneur/model/woman of God.  Hawaii native doing her thing representing our Lord and Savior!

I'm running out of time, but I love you guys.  Check out my new friends especially if you are an Christian entrepreneur, business owner, or author trying to find your way.

Live your life on purpose.

Teacher Tuesday: Good for you.

I was so very impressed with a young man that I had met in school the other day.  He was a student in a special education science class.  It had looked like he had finished his work early and so I asked him "Are you all done?"  His teacher quickly interjected and said "Yes, he is an ridiculously fast typer."

So, my curiosity was not yet quenched by the explaination of him finishing his work early.  So I asked him how many words per minute does he type exactly; expecting him to be close to my 54 words per minute.  Then out of his mouth rang "128 words per minute."  I couldn't believe it.  He was a junior in highschool and he could typ 128 words per minture.  I wanted to know how.  More than that I wanted to know why.

He explained to me that it was because he had a typing teacher in 8th grade who would always rag on him about his posture.  She would tell him that he would never reach her typing speed if he kept sitting the way that he was sitting.  He also told me that she used to complain about him not using the home keys when he was typing, something that he still does not do until this day.  He told me that she was so annoying that one day he just decided that he was going to beat her typing speed.  So he would  practice everyday.  Getting faster and faster until he reached 128 words per minute surpassing her 120 words per minute count.  Then he said that was why, "I just wanted to shut her up."

I told him good for you.

Don't limit other people by your closed mind of what can be achieved.  You have no idea what God has in store for the person who does things a little different.  You have no idea what gifts are hidden in another person.  Always be encouraging, always be helpful.  Always be who God made you to be and let others do the same.

Live your life on Purpose
Until Next Time

Motivation for Monday: From the Perspective of Synesthesia

I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait and in his word do I hope. 

Psalm 130:5 KJV

For in him you have been enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge— 6God thus confirming our testimony about Christ among you. 7Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. 8He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Corinthians 1:6-9

I use Bible Hub:

For those of you who don't know me, I am the art teacher for purpose . .  I write, create, and promote content that will help you find your purpose in life.  I have came to the conclusion that a lot of us are in search of that purpose, but sometimes this life get's a little too heavy for us to carry.  Sometimes it is hard to keep living.  So, the Lord put it on my heart to put a little motivation out there to keep living.  I call it the Live Life Project.  When ever the Lord gives me an idea for motivation I do it.  Motivation for Monday is something I think is necessary to lift our spirits and encourage each other to live this life.  

We have each other.  This is a gift that the Lord gives us.  We are supposed to help each other.  We should pray that the Lord continues to help us, help each other.  The Holy Spirit will start to whisper to us different ways that we can do this.  This is not magic, it is the way God works.  Systems, inside systems, inside systems; working together in harmony for a purpose.

God is AWESOME!

I put all of these Motivations in the Live Life Project collection.  I'm not sure how to promote it but I will work on that.  All I could suggest is for you to share it with others, especially if it is helping you.

Here is the Link to the collection:

https://plus.google.com/u/0/collection/oiniBE

The Live Life Project

I want you to know that there is hope for the future.  There is always hope.  If ever I get down and feel trouble coming, I turn to the Lord.  He has me in training right now to discern when something is about to happen.  He has me in training to show me what to pray and how to pray to get out of any situation.  I no longer worry about things, I am just more observant of causes and affects.  I now pray for answers and the Holy Spirit gives them to me.  The answers are coming more rapidly then ever before.  The Holy Spirit revealed to me that God loves answering my prayers, but that I am just now able to see the answers more clearly.  I now recognize how he responds, how he talks through people, and how he confirms things.  I am starting to learn the Kingdom Language!

This is the thing, God will keep you in perfect peace no matter how chaotic the world gets around you!

I am learning that most people only mean well.  They do the best that they can with what they know.  They interpret the world around them by explaining what they see in front of them.  They use their own deductive reasoning to try to come up with an explanation of why things happen.  I'm sure that I do the same thing sometimes.   But I have changed my mind and know that this is not the right thing to do.  Our perspective will always be skewed without the revelation of God.

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

1 Corinthians 1:27

Some people may say that I think of myself more highly then I  should to which I will respond, "perhaps you don't know who you are, but I know who I am."  I have a special ability to see things from a different perspective.  This is what the Lord is showing me as a creative and as an artist.   It's a gift that I am being trained in to develop even further.  Why?  For the Glory of God.  Often, times in the past I thought that everyone looked at the world the same way that I did.  I thought that the obvious was obvious to everyone.  But this is not the case . . .

We all have a special gift to help the building up of the Kingdom.

My friend recently sent me a video link about a young lady who had a special ability to feel other people's pain.  She could feel other people's physical pain,  as well as their emotional pain.  This could be a burdensome gift, especially for a nurse working in a hospital.  The young nurse explained that she had a rare brain sensitivity that sensed peoples' feelings called  Synesthesia.  At first she didn't think that it was a real thing or that it had any relative scientific data supporting her claims of having this special gift.  But this is a very real thing!

Here is your motivation for Monday: 

You are Wonderfully Made!!!

You must know this and condition this into your heart:  You are special.  God made you special.  This should give you a good feeling inside.  A sense of Peace.  You will carry that peace with you and others will feel it as well.  It is a design of our supernatural God!

The interesting part about this, is that my daughter and I were talking about this very thing the day before.  We started a conversation about perspective and how some people see things differently from others. I had told her that some people could actually see sound.  My daughter was intrigued by this new information so I proceeded to tell her more.

Yes, some people see sound.  When they hear music, their brain interprets the music into colors and color patterns.  So, some people may only be hearing and experiencing the beauty of the  music, while someone else may be seeing colors dancing according to the sound that is being heard.  How marvelous would it be to have a brain like that?  How awesome is our God!

Check out this article about the different types of Synesthesia:

Synesthesia

https://www.spring.org.uk/2014/05/6-intriguing-types-of-synesthesia-tasting-words-seeing-sounds-hearing-colours-and-more.php

Now, this phenomena of seeing sound is called  Chromesthesia, which is a form of Synesthesia.  It is also a real thing! Supernatural even.  It is explained by the brain having a higher sensitivity in sensory processes, to where these senses trigger other senses, crossing cognitive pathways for an ultra sensory experience! Now if things like this can happen and be explained by science, how probable is it that you have a special gift and or ability that you have not developed yet.  You may be the most awesome opera singer,  the fastest typist, or the most precise editor, the calmest listener, or the most loyal friend.  What ever your gift is, find it, cultivate it, and your gifts will make room for you.

Why do I always share this message about using your gifts?

Well, God has changed my worldly perspective to an eternity perspective.  I don't just say this, I believe it, and I teach it.  There is nothing else in this world that I desire more but to please the Lord.   Everything in this world will pass away, but your spirit is eternal.  You can't see your spirit, but I can.  You can't see your wasted time, but I can.  You can't see your wasted soul, but I can.  You can't see the bigger picture, but I can.  Why?  Because God gave me a gift of perspective.  My brain works different in this area.

Here goes the thing:  this does not make me better or more special then anyone else!  Why?  Because you are just as wonderfully made as I am.  God loves you just as much as he loves me.  He has equipped us all with gifts, talents, and abilities, much more then what the world presents to you.  Your talents go a lot further than singing, dancing, jumping, and running. 

The message that God has for you is to stop pursuing things that are an illusion.  Know why you are living.   Don't be afraid of the illusion of death, or the illusion of poverty, or the illusion of success.  These are all lies.  When you die in this life, it is life.  You are inheritors of a great Kingdom, so you were never poor.  Your success is inevitable when you grow through your process; it was always designed that way.  This is the perspective that I am blessed with, and it is awesome!!

Get an Eternity Perspective!

I have a charge to get you to identify your special gifts so that we can tell the world about our King.  We have a purpose to share the good news of the coming of the kingdom of heaven.  Yes, not everyone will understand it and not everyone will see it.  Some people will just think that this is all made up.  They do not yet see that we only call the "supernatural" super because it is not what we are used to.  To God, the supernatural is just normal business!  It is the way it is, because that is the way God made it to be.
