Shon Brown w/ Clent Holmes @ his awards ceremony! Such an honor. Let’s congratulate him.

Don't Sweat The Small Stuff! 🥵

To break the worry habit before it breaks you follow this rule:

"Let's not allow ourselves to be upset 😡by small things we should despise & forget. Remember "Life is too short to be little."

Perspective! Perspective! Perspective! 🤓Sometimes not having the proper perspective regarding a situation can really make your vision cloudy. ☁️

Have you ever been around someone and they told you something and you were like, Ügh its REALLY not that bad...it could be really worse."

I just want to encourage you to not allow the SMALL things to trip you up in 2023!

Remove the magnifying glass from out of your hands and things will look very tiny and not as big as you're making it! 🔎

That's why God told us where to put our focus:

Philippians 4:8 (MSG) Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious - the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.

May I ask you this morning: Where is your focus? 🤓

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Good morning!

I had the opportunity to teach someone about meditation.

This individual was having a baddd case of anxiety. It was terrible.

I educated her on the power of meditation and I gave her 2 sources for preference.

She decided to incorporate it into her day and stated that she was already starting to feel better.

She didn’t even have to take her prescription med.

Many times we don’t give people alternatives For them to try.

Take time to show people things that have worked for u. 💛💛💛

Happy she was willing to try it. One day out of many to freedom. ☺️✝️

*Please note many disease are caused by stress and anxiety.

Are u REALLY trusting God? Or are you leaning to your “own” understanding.

Prov. 3:5-7 (Mess.)

A lot of times we get use to hearing this common scripture in the King James Version. Let’s look at another translation.

“Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own.

Listen for God’s voice in EVERYTHING you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume that you know everything.

In the King James Version it says ”in ALL thy ways acknowledge Him…”

There are a few words that I’ve learned that most Christians don’t believe and the word “all” is one of them. Another word we don’t believe is “shall”.

Sometimes we lean to our “own” understanding and try to figure it out on our own.

I suggest “Ask God?” He is the one who knows everything.

People have made “asking God” to be something “too” spiritual. We get upset when someone suggest for us to “pray about it and ask God.”

I remember rolling my eyes at my homeboy Jermaine when he told me to do this awhile back over something I thought was small. I was like “ask God about something like this?” I must admit he was right.

Why do we do this? Why do we make sarcastic comments when this is clear as day in scripture for us to be doing?

Let’s start seeking God with big and small matters. He is our father and wants the best for us. He knows what’s best. He might just smile on you for trusting Him with your whole life. 😉✝️📖

…and just like that…He forgives our sins never to remember them no more. (Heb 8:12) 📖

This morning I headed out to the post office it was sunny about 53 degrees. ☀️

There was no trace of snow or ice. ❄️

All the icicles were melted from the trees and houses. The snow & ice had left the streets.

Cars were now back on the streets.

I then smiled because this is how God forgives us. There is No trace that a winter storm even existed a few days ago. 😃

…and He will forgive you too. Even if you have “just” messed up. He will forgive u never to remember your sins any more.

A few days ago the streets were filthy, dirty, with melting ice and dirt. Just like this, God doesn’t care how filthy you are. He loves you. 💘☺️

If you’ve known him and strayed away…get back to Jesus. ✝️

[Staying "busy" brings you more happy days] ☺️

Anxiety affects 275 million people in the world. 😧 Sometimes we hear the phrases “keep your head up” or "hang in there” when we are going through but many people aren’t given practical tips to help them reduce anxiety. So I've provided another tip below:

Stay “busy.” Yep…that’s the tip…stay busy! Of course all things being equal. Im not saying to bury your feelings and not deal with them. But why does such a simple thing such as keeping busy help to drive out anxiety? Because of the law that says it is impossible for any human mind to think of two things at one time. 🧠 This law can be used as an advantage in regards to anxiety. This tactic has even been used by army psychiatrists who dealt with men who were nerve-shocked. Staying busy can be a cure for you, as it was for these army men.

I know when I’ve experienced death in my family I didn’t always take my bereavement days but went to work instead. 👩🏾‍⚕️ Staying “busy”helped! Unfortunately, so many people have no control over their minds when they are idle. The mind honestly becomes the devil’s workshop for many. 👿He whispers so many negative things to you that make you anxious and then as we learned affects your body by producing sickness.

Again, I’m not suggesting to not deal with your problems, but we can learn something from how staying busy has been so effective. It was even used in the Quaker sanitarium in 1774. Mentally ill patients were kept busy spinning flax. As a result many patients improved because working was soothing to their nerves.

This isn’t a tip to cure anxiety for all, but one to be added to your tool box. 🧰If becoming idle causes your mind to be the devil’s workshop then practice this tool until you’ve mastered stillness and spiritual meditation which can bring you so much peace. 🧘🏽‍♀️

Morning guys! It’s a great cozy time for us to memorize a scripture….😳📕

While many of us are chilling at home during this winter weather….

Memorizing scripture is a GREAT “spiritual discipline” to incorporate into your daily routine because the words of the Lord are spirit and they are “LIFE”. It is the word that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing.

Let’s build ourselves up with the word of God even more so than with physical food.

Let’s memorize this verse this week. Short & sweet but powerful.

Psalms 51:10 “Create in me a clean heart, Oh God and renew a right spirit within me.”

Say this scripture out loud to yourself a few times then work on memorizing it slowly by putting accents on different words will help the verse stick in your brain.

Life has definitely brought some of us some blows. Many don’t know who they are anymore. From childhood trauma, to kids, to marriage issues, to financial strain, and failed relationships...many have experienced so much loss. We’ve built up walls from it all.

Some are crying out and our behaviors show. We have picked up a few sins we use to not do from trying to escape the pain.

But I have great news! God can create in us a clean heart.

Meditate on this verse and let God speak to u.

-Shon Brown

“As faith kills it, unbelief resurrects it!”

“ The thoughts of men speak louder in heaven than do their words on earth.” 🤯

Do you pray because you are afraid or bc of what you’re promised?

Self Imposed Curse: Negative statements that “you” have said over yourself.

Here's an example:
God: My plans are to prosper you and not to harm
you.
You: I'm never getting out of this debt.
You: I guess I'll always live pay check to pay check.
You: Nothing don’t ever work out for me.
You: God doesn’t care about me.

Numb 14:28
Prov: 21:23

Could your words be hindering your blessings? If so, break these curses.

1. Repent.
2. Break the curse. I am free from (blank). I break the curse of (blank) over my life.
3. Speak the blessings of the Lord over your life. Declare the opposite over your life.
4. Thank God.
5. Then experience the blessings of God.

Prayer is GREAT but we should be ingesting and reading scriptures too! 💯 (Just a reminder) 😉
John 15:7

Want to be added to my daily prayer list? Just let me know 😃🛐

Today is July 1st!!! We are halfway through the year! 🙌🏾 Re-evaluate your goals! Are u on track?

Beware! Some friends/family get mad at u when you forgive & reconcile with people. Don’t let others keep u in unforgiveness. 💯

I won’t accept that it’s a “generational curse”! Jesus was made a curse for me so I can’t receive that 🤷‍♀️.

After I had my daughter, Faith, in (2015) I went home was fine at first but I had to go back to the hospital after checking my BP at home and it was high. (It was controlled during pregnancy).

I then was hospitalized for 5 days for blood pressure control! I was on a mag drip and it was the most painful thing ever. I cried. The headaches and blurred vision was terrible while on it. Knowing that u can stroke out at any time isn’t a great feeling ya know. Thank God u had a team of physicians looking at research to determine how to treat me!

The nurses felt sorry for me bc they knew the side effects of this medicine.

I left the hospital on 3 blood pressure pills!!!!! I had photophobia and all kind of side effects which made me see a ophthalmologist, cardiologist, and pulmonologist. I was struggling to take care of my baby in silence due to how I felt.

(I’ll continue this story at another time) and this was back in 2015

Just giving u a snippet for now!

And to all my people who on blood pressure meds thank God for that stable blood pressure even if u on meds! In everything give thanks! Give thanks until you’re off of them! Then thank him for being off of them! I take care of so many people who are on blood pressure meds but their blood pressure isn’t controlled!

Be encouraged! Sometimes the struggle with high blood pressure for a lot of people isn’t easy!

I now do things differently bc I’ve learned more about the power of the Jesus! I’ll share at another time! 💛

How many people have u led to Christ? Just a thought…

Think about all the reasons why it CAN work not all the reasons why it CAN’T work ☺️

Good morning!

What kind of BRAIN do u have? A healthy brain or a toxic brain?

What determines that? Your thoughts.

Remember, you have roughly 5-10 seconds to determine what you will do with a thought once it comes in to your brain.

Will u keep the bad thought or will you replace it with a positive thought?

Your choice…

Have a blessed day! Love u guys & remember Jesus loves u too.

So many people underestimate what Jesus can do. 🙃

Break the cycle….I’m rooting for u…I believe u can do it! ☺️😉

Many of us find our purpose at different periods in life, but until then…

1. Be convinced in who God already says you are

2. Claim EVERY promise & blessing.

3. Walk out all the purposes for you that He has already said in His word.

4. Find out what God has said about u and BELIEVE it.

5. Repeat

Teach. Encourage. Build. Model.

Say what????? Yep, you’re forgiven. ☺️

Your thoughts MATTER! Decide to think positive thoughts TODAY . 🌟💫✨🌎⭐️

Anxiety attacks can be caused from worrying about the future.

When your body is in this state of constant fear you put your physical health at risk including your heart.

Prayers for everyone dealing with anxiety. Spirit of anxiety LEAVE in Jesus name. Amen.

Start your day with positivity…
☀️⭐️🌎💫✨🌟
