The Blue Dream Project: Something To Believe In

“How you came through just at the right time. I can’t explain escaping the hard way.”

 

Writing the #BlueDream project has been one of the greatest periods of revelation that I’ve experienced. The way I see and exist in the world is different to the point that I feel sometimes as if I’ve transcended the shackles society has placed on my mind, body, and soul. I pray unceasingly that my music speaks to the soul and carries the healing message through the universe.

The ability to bid farewell is a superpower in your spirit by which giants are tumbled and mountains are moved. While we may need something to hold on to, in order to not  wash away and become one with the residuals of life, we also need to understand how empowering we are to ourselves by being able to see things come and go. When one is able to let go of something near and dear to the heart it projects the makings of a strong positive spirit. This simple, powerful intrinsic quality as a human is one of which we are slowly being stripped in efforts to be misled to a codependent mindset.

Sometimes in this human experience we get attached to facets of this world. There is something divine in everything we see and that is what attracts us, be it an object of passion or affection or even merely peace. Whatever it may be, we all need something to believe in. Granted nothing stays the same, we still need an anchor in times where nothing seems to wield the stability we need. We all have been taught to fight for what we believe in, and to never give up, but my walk of faith has taught me to keep loose ties to just about everything because the Creator may have plans beyond our understanding that will grow us in ways we on our own would be incapable.

When you love something you should let it go. If it comes back, you have confirmation that it’s truly yours to have and to hold. The spirit of fear will try to keep you from sending something down the river. Fear will have one believe that captivity is a display of love and affection, when it actually mutilates the sincerity of our actions and the perception of intention. As the song says, “Remember what we told ourselves. Goodbye is only in the name of LOVE.”

Who Runs This Motha—?

Reading Isaiah 8 paints a vivid image of the vulnerability by which the modern world is plagued. The National state of emergency in Egypt is painful to watch as this type of social collapse can happen anywhere (especially America, the new Babylon) regardless of faith, partisanship, or social/financial stature. We are all vulnerable as humans. This is an even more dangerous reality in a nation that is running a system on all cylinders that sees fit to place God in a restrictive box. The media and political analysts are asking, “What should America Do?” We need to seek God and reintegrate him into the fabric of society as a focal point. The spirit of love is the only thing that can drown out the fires burning across the globe.

In the wake of disaster and judgment we should wait on God in the context of patience as well as service and attention. When you search for solutions or compromise in the realm of the flesh to be your relief, it will always backfire. An example if this is a modest, yet sufficient river being your water supply. This supply is a blessing because it is not overwhelming but is enough to sustain life. When God’s blessings and sustenance are not enough to satisfy us He will give us more, but it won’t be for the sake of appeasement. Instead it will be strong, forceful, and sometimes overwhelming with shock in aims of teaching gratitude for the little things. One can look to sum this up with the adage “Less is sometimes more”.

When we see trials before us, our reflex as humans is to focus on the impact of what has been sent our way. We should not fear the judgment being passed, or even how it’s the result of our foolishness, but we should fear God. By fear I mean concern for our standing with God instead of the trail. When you lose sight of God in the eye of a storm you run the risk of inviting the enemy to consume the heart with darkness and sorrow. Do not seek comfort in things worldly in nature because they are not sufficient by any means. Often we see in retrospect that we ignorantly have settled into the bosom of our own demise.

No Chains!!!!

I know myself: A spiritual daredevil living on the edge of everything, straddling a bottomless Pit at one point simply for the fun of it. For no particular reason I did it to run from the truth placed before me time after time. I tried to balance the flesh and spirit out of my own pride and foolishness. I had a voice and needed something to fuel its projection. I needed validation of man that I was using my gift to its full potential but i was mistaken in that effort because I was trying to presume a power in them that is only meant for the Most High. By that token I was misusing one of my gifts by aiming to appease man instead of He that bestowed the blessing upon me. I can tell you first hand God will humble you if you don’t do it for yourself. The anointing over my voice was lost by my own foolishness.

My voice is no longer to please the world, but to serve the Kingdom. It just won’t work any other way. I had to realize that God had a different plan for me, much different from my own. Many of us spend the great part of our lives running from what God’s calling because it doesn’t fit what we think is supposed to be. You stop running at some point not because you want to, but because God sees the window snatch you back to his side. The choice to walk in the flesh or the Spirit is the blessing of liberty God has bestowed on man. Galatians 5:16-17 reads:

¹⁶ This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.¹⁷ For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

From there we can continue to walk in that liberty and feed on the fruit of the spirit, or we can relinquish that liberty and settle into the binding chains the enemy has planned for us. The spirit of oppression is one I simply grew tired of. This caged bird picked the lock and still sings, but the melody had modulated to the Key of LIFE. By the grace of my Father I have been able to identify my demons and battle them in efforts to break free and see beyond this world and peek into the next. Truth will reveal itself In due time. I have driven myself to the point of self-destruction physically, mentally, and emotionally. The enemy could not break my spirit, however. Welcome to my truth. I still love.

The way I see it

The only things worse than having your heart broken are the casualties that previously bound you. Love is a battlefield and we all show cuts and bruises. Just stop living the same thing over and over. I’m giving it all back…now PUSH
