Welcome back to the blog everyone. I decided to call today's entry COINCEDENCE because, I know its not just a coincidence that this is happening right now.
I was telling a friend on the phone about how things have been lining up since Saturday, January 31, 2009. That day I was having trouble cashing a check and had to drive way outside my area to get it done. I then bumped into a friend of mine who I used to work with. He and I got to talking, and I told him about a book that I was writing. Then he told me how he is producing audio books! Once he went into detail about what he does and how he does it, I needed no convincing, I needed to do an audio book too! He and I exchanged information, and needless to say, I was very excited.
So, later that night I go on line, and have a conversation with a new friend I met on facebook. We start talking and they tell me that they sing and do voice overs for a living!!!!! I'm like...wow! We worked out a deal to where I would shoot them while they sang the National Anthem at a basketball game, and they would do a voice over for my book!
COINCEDENCE?????
I wrote on day one how I had a hard time finishing things, projects that I start. Then, in the comments section, I get the answer - S.M.A.C. Then, I am on the phone with a friend of mine today who stated that he had the same issue, not finishing. I referred him to S.M.A.C. also!
While we were talking, he mentioned that he knew an executive at Tyler Perry Studio....and he was going to give him a call so we could all go out to dinner. Intorduce me, so I could possibly get a job!
COINCIDENCE?????
I was sitting next to my boy Terry when that preacher made the prophecy over that couples pregnancy challenges. I was sitting next to Terry when we BOTH saw that prophecy's manifestation in church on sunday!
COINCIDENCE?????
I said yesterday that I wanted to add two people to my prayer list, and tonight alone, I had my cousin call me with some issues, and a co-worker that confided in me. I told them BOTH I would pray for them.
COINCIDENCE?
Then, earlier yesterday, I get this line in my head in regards to the blog:
THEIR breakthrough is Your breakthrough.
I had no idea what it meant at the time. I was just going to throw it up on the blog yesterday during my updates because I thought it was so profound. I just couldn't figure out how, where to put it...thats when, "We got your back...but YOU get your front" popped into my head, so I went with that instead.
Then I take a nap. When I awoke, I heard a voice telling me that the key to my answered prayer was to pray for others! I had been taught that before, but this was different. I automatically felt a hunger to pray for others. It was like I finally GOT IT! The light bulb went off. I am not supposed to be repeating my same old prayer everyday, hoping GOD answeres them, I am supposed to let you guys handle that part, and in turn, I am going to be praying for YOU!
My confirmation to that was when I read the comments from DAY 4. It really started on DAY 1, but on DAY 4 you can see some things happeneing. Complete strangers are concerned about one another! They are praying for one another, listening to one another, heeding each others advice, making sure they stay on task, genuinely concerned for one another well being. The focus wasn't on COREY...it was the BLOG. The focus was people getting answers and talking to people who care.
It brought me to tears and I had immediately broke into prayer when I read Thalia's comments to KBrenai yesterday. Then Terry telling Tamia that he is praying for her friends baby!
I have no idea where this is going, but I am going to let GOD lead!!!!!
I am so caught up in the RIGHT NOW, I don't know how it can get better than this!!!!!
TODAYS MEDITATION
THEIR breakthrough is Your breakthrough.
SONG OF THE DAY
"God in Me" by MARY MARY. As usual, MARY MARY comes thru with powerful, in your face lyrics over a contemporary, bouncy feel. You'll be nodding your head, raising your arms, and pumping your fist to the chorus by days end! It's time to let the GOD in each of us shine through.....When they ask, why are we so happy, or why are we so favored, we'll just tell them - "It's the GOD in me!....It's the GOD in meee!"

I also wanted to let yo guys know that the DVD script is done!!! Thank you to everyone who texted, called, emailed me to get it done! LOL Now I gotta produce the thing. LOL.
ReplyDeleteAlso, also, the song of the day will be updated shortly.....didn't have it on this computer.
Not a Coincendent at all. It's the favor of Your Father, that you've been walking in this entire time, it's just more clear to you now. God is soooooo awesome and I love when He proves His word to be true. All of you, today at 1p if you would put on your pray list one of my students(Caleb 2) his parents found out he has an enlarged heart yesterday and he goes to the doctor today at 1pm. God is soooo getting ready to prove is word. He is not a God that can Lie, or forget or make a mistake , so when He said in His word, By my stripes you are healed! I believed that for Caleb today. Thanks. A scripture that I have been repeating everyday since your blog Corey is Prov. 3:5-6, Trust in the Lord with ALL your Heart and lean not to your understanding BUT in ALL your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path. God cant lie and when we begin to take His word for what it's worth, the favor you've been in contact with will overtake you to the point of disbelief. I pray that everyone on this blog be blessed with too much favor, too much joy, too much peace, too much increase, too many jobs to choose from, too much healing!

Coincidence... I think not... all of this is happening for a reason. It's all apart of the masters plan for us.
ReplyDeleteYesterday I got the opportunity to speak to some young ladies at my job. They were complaining that they didn't like their new boss. Mind you their boss has not started yet. "She" starts today. Any way I asked them did they know her... nothing but silence, so I asked again Do you know her? Both of them softly said no. I told them that they should not judge a person that they didn't know and I told them to go home last night and pray that their new boss is a person that will guide them, speak softly to them and I will check back with them in a month on the process of their boss. And they looked at me and said we will try it...That made me feel good yesterday.
My prayer time was wonderful last night as well. What I have started to you when I have my talk with God is to Thank him for what I have prayed for the night before because if you believe at the time (the very moment) you say the prayer it has already been answered with God spirtually. It just takes time to manifest in to our Humanly state of mind.
I will leave everyone with today's affimation. A bit long but oh so good.
Love Ya

Subject: Daily Affirmation for February 6, 2009
The email below was forwarded to me today and I just had to share it because so many people are ready to give up because of what they feel are insurmountable problems in their lives. But after reading the story below, I was reminded of how God has it all under control! Enjoy!
Don't give up.....
One day I decided to quit...
I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality... I wanted to quit my
life.
I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.
"God", I asked, "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"
His answer surprised me...
"Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"
"Yes", I replied.
"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of
them.
I gave them light.
I gave them water.
The fern quickly grew from the earth.
Its brilliant green covered the floor.
Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.
In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.
And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the
bamboo. He said.
"In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed.
But I would not quit.
In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would
not quit." He said.
"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared
to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant....But just 6
months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.
It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and
gave it what it needed to survive.
I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."
He asked me. "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been
struggling, you have actually been growing roots".
"I would not quit on the bamboo.
I will never quit on you."
"Don't compare yourself to others."
He said.
"The bamboo had a different Purpose than the fern.
Yet they both make the forest beautiful."
"Your time will come", God said to me.
"You will rise high"
"How high should I rise?"
I asked.
"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.
"As high as it can?" I questioned.
"Yes." He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."
I left the forest and brought back this story.
I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.
Never, Never, Never Give up.
For the Christian Prayer is not an option but an opportunity.
Don't tell the Lord how big the problem is,
tell the problem how Great the Lord is!
Heavens door open this morning, God asked me...
"My CHILD, what can I do for you?"
And I said, "Daddy, please protect and bless the one reading this
message."
God smiled and answered, "Request granted."
Coincidence – while this blog and its personal connections did not happen by chance, IT IS quite a surprising and remarkable way that God is moving through the blog and making HIS PRESENCE known.
ReplyDeleteThe ability to pray for someone, care for someone, love someone, without ever laying eyes on them or touching them is remarkable and surprising in itself.
***I prayed for Robin’s student Caleb regarding his enlarged heart
***I embraced Thalia’s daily affirmation to calm my anxieties and crying heart after the passing of my Daddy a few weeks ago
***I continue to pray for Corey’s list
***I pray for increase – that the anointing of the blog will reach more eyes and ears
***And I continue to pray for myself, and thank God, believing in answered prayers and revelation knowledge
2 Chronicles 7:14a
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray…..
QUESTION: Are you called? Are you humble? Are you praying?
Just got up to speed on your site and may I say this is a great idea! Towards the end of last year I finally got my stuff together and decided to put my site together just to showcase my art. One of my longtime clients sent me a text that said "motivation is the key". I keep it on my phone so that every time I'm about to send a text it's looking right at me. I also started telling myself and anyone else with a goal that "there are no excuses". Since then I have been producing more work and have decided to change my site into a store and sell some of my art. In the next couple of days it will be up and I already have some people ready to make purchases! So with that said, I say to you, motivation is the key and don't make any excuses.
ReplyDeleteAMEN!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI just re-read Thalia's affirmation. THAT WAS A GREAT PEACE! And the timing is perfect! THANK YOU.
Kbrenai...thank you for being transparent. I can't explain why I have this strong confidence in my heart about you and your situation. How you're going to turn around one day and realize how far you've come...when the book is done, and you're on tour or on the news answering questions, you're going to think of a time when you didn't have an answer or the grief was overwheleming, and you're going to praise GOD right then and there. I see this situation motivating you right now!!!! I see the roots getting deeper and deeper......you're going to rise so high you'll be affraid to look down! WATCH AND SEE AND BELIEVE!!!!!
Robin, I prayed a very fervent prayer for CAleb, ahis family, and yourself! I know your heart is as big as the east is from the west, and you want to help EVERYBODY! Continue doing what you're doing...trust me, it is enough! Don't try to "Figure out" what more you need to do. Just stand still in your faith! God is working on your behalf!
I could go on and on...but let me just say that I prayed for ALL of you guys this morning, BY NAME. You're covered....Look out, cause here comes the PRAISE REPORTS!!!!!!
Hi Corey,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to get your thoughts and prayers out and have others come together a pray for you.
I will be praying for you. And I do believe that God has a calling on your life and that you will fulfill it before he take you home.
May God Bless you.
Sincerely,
Lisa

I want everybody that is apart of this journey to beleive that he will bless what ever we put our hands to do. Please beleive and read Deu 28:1-15.
After reading todays and yesterdays comments I feel compelled to tell you guys how my day went. First I would like to thank Terry and Thalia prayers. Thats love. My prayers are always with you. Last night I decided to make my own prayer list and I included everyone that has left a comment from day one. When woke up this morning I had decided to stay in today and spend time with God since I have been running for past 2weeks. I started to read Deu 28:1-15 after I read it I felt compelled to pray for everyone that is on my list while praying the song I Trust You came to mind and couldn't stop singing it while I was praying God is doing things.
God bless everyone forgot to leave my name in the comment above Tamia
ReplyDeleteTerry, where you at? I am looking for something good to hear from you tonight!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo first of all... The God in me by Mary mary. Yeah. Theme song.
ReplyDeleteI listened to it two times before i finished the blog and let my roomate hear it. Without going into to much detail, that song really carried me away and in itself was really timely.
THANKS TO EVERYBODY WHO TAKES TIME TO WRITE SOMETHING. NOT ONE THING THAT WAS TYPED WAS IRRELAVANT OR ESTEEMED LIGHTLY. And about Caleb, that's the God I serve!!!!
