Just reflecting on MLK Day and the magnitude of the death walk this man had to take to fulfill his life's assignment/mission.. The unwavering self-denial, the onslaught of constant persecution, the levels of mental anguish most could give no comfort to, the sacrifice of the closeness of family, the hatred, the embracing of abuse and hardship, the face 2 face with evil, the everyday internal warfare, and of course the relentless threat of death from outside forces.. All of what this man endured for the vision that most times no one could fully see but himself, and even more so, at times he himself most likely could not see it in its fullness, but he simply had the FAITH to believe it was something great! Yet..often, when we hear of things associated with greatness in most American churches, it's connected to a laundry list of external accolades, and the applause of man, your name in neon lights, your name on plaques, what you own, where you live, how many places you get invited, how many businesses you can blow up, attendance at your conference, etc.. And Jesus said, whomever is Greatest among you shall be you servant..in the Kingdom of God a bonafide servant is one willing to give up the "totality" of their LIFE..whew..I'm challenged by this..so just in personal reflection and general, I wonder to what extent we are willing to embrace the life of a servant..I believe MLK's life was definitely the absolute epitome of servitude, and that it can be a sobering measuring gauge for us to ask ourselves hard questions as we evolve, since all God given purpose really does take fhe majority of our lives to fulfill, hence why we are given a "designated time" to be here.. Certainly we all have different journeys, and are not called to the same things, but it seems, only certain degrees of death are what unlock greatness disguised in doors of destiny.. So, it's not that some people have a certain destiny because they are just so great, it's the degree to which one is willing to DIE, is the degree to which a destiny can be fulfilled..

For those that have made it to Level Three, and the few that have pierced the rare air of Level Five… Please tell us how are those unlocked resources?

Apostle @Bryan Meadows said it best: “I’m not about to sit around hoping somebody notices what I’ve been carrying this whole time. If I can see it, if I can feel it, if it won’t let me sleep… then it’s real enough to move on.” Did this hit anyone else? Got me feeling like Nehemiah. That burden to rebuild the wall. When the burden is the blueprint and obedience is the plan. Who else is carrying something God won’t let you ignore? If you’re feeling fear or overwhelmed about birthing what God is calling you to, remember this: Noah had no blueprint, just instruction. Moses had no blueprint, just instruction. Abraham had no blueprint, just “Go.” Joshua had no blueprint, just “Be strong and courageous.” Mary had no blueprint, just “Let it be unto me.” Nehemiah had no blueprint, just a burden and a “yes.” God doesn’t always give the full plan. He gives the next step. And what an honor, that He’d invite us to co-labor with Him. Thank you! @Bryan Meadows

(READ THIS ALOUD 3x) Can’t wait for people to acknowledge my dopeness when I already know that I’m dope. Can’t wait for somebody to give me an opportunity when I’ve got the mind, the hands, and the hunger to build my own. I’m not about to sit around hoping somebody notices what I’ve been carrying this whole time. If I can see it, if I can feel it, if it won’t let me sleep... then it’s real enough to move on. God didn’t put this in me for me to babysit it. Didn’t wire me like this just for me to be quiet, polite, and patient forever. At some point patience turns into hiding, and I’m not hiding anymore. This isn’t the season to keep telling myself “soon.” This is the season to start acting like it’s now. Not just one version of me either. Not just the preacher. Not just the pastor. Not just the revivalist. But the artist. The filmmaker. The fashion designer. The builder. All of it. I’m not called to be small just so people feel comfortable. I’m called to be whole. So here’s the line in the sand: No more waiting. No more shrinking. No more playing like this is a hobby. It’s time to become everything that’s already in me. I need EVERYBODY to TYPE “I’m done waiting."
