In His Likeness w/ AntTBri

Today’s my day 1 again. My start over…return, recommit, reconnect and rehearse the promise moment. I will intentionally focus on what God desires, designates, and designed for my life and love. Today the promise is not somewhere off in the distance. It’s no longer in the one-day category…it is in and for my now. Now faith is. If it is then it would behoove me to live and love like that’s my expectation. What should we be doing, becoming, and working toward now??? How should we be living, loving and looking if our deliverance is nigh us? What will the world see when we get out of the furnace, come through the waters and make it to the promise? Do we really believe that the promises of God are yes and Amen? Today’s a good time to rethink, reconfigure, and reinvest in our fondness of now and later. Candy (licious) or Christ like conviction?

So if we believe in and for the God outcome for life and love what are we doing in conjunction with the Word? Are we getting ready spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically? Living and loving like it is so…like a manifesting Word (promise) is our reality? Life and love is always in a state of becoming, beholding and bequeath. It is humanity’s plight to accept, adapt and acclimate to the process. Change is said to happen suddenly. Really??? Or does it happen in process after the passing of time? As I reflect upon and remember the original Word/promise I’m asking myself “what have I gained during the wait”. A lot of good, useful, important life and love lessons along the way…things to my credit subjectively… BUT objectively the scale is not in my favor (to thine own self be true). The better question and more important inquiry for the authentic self is “do I want to carry or should I carry the extra weight into a manifesting promise”. Every area of addition may not accommodate the acclimation of promise. We might just want to deal with now verses later.

Some of us after living and loving in delay, at a disadvantage or with distractions have resolved it is what it is until it’s something different. We don’t allow ourselves to live beyond compensation tactics, in the meantime, or one day methodologies. We live and love now with little to no effort, energy, or enthusiasm about later. In doing so, we tend to lose momentum, motivation and mannerisms that will keep us right and ready for the manifestation of promise. Day 1 grants us the opportunity to get excited again, it infuses our expectation with new hope…it recharges our energy and maximizes our efforts. Day 1 again puts to rest one-day and revisits any day now! Revisiting the original Word/Promise makes the faith filled heart prepare because it’s happening now and manifests later. God shares His secrets with his friends…our preparation proves we’ve been looking, living, and loving like we know. Now and Later are indicators of an active faith…a living, loving, and lasting relationship that is not confined, constricted, or compartmentalized by the passing of time. It is the treat that keeps rewarding our efforts. It is the expectation of every believer. God speaks it now and we get to enjoy it now and later. The promise is tasted, tried, and tested in betwixt now and later. Life and love teeters any day for the believer juxtapose to the one day approach to those of us without hope. Any day requires a different type of energy, effort and enthusiasm. It prompts urgency…a greater expectation of life and love. God’s Word will manifest any day now…it is our reality…what we carry in our hearts. Life and love the way God designs, desires, and designates. Good stuff for our now and later.

It is definitely time to loose the wilderness survival strategies…what worked in the dry place won’t suffice in the land flowing with milk and honey. It’s time to change our way of thinking, doing, and saying. It’s time to change our diets and to prepare for what’s coming about…manifesting before us…we’re crossing over into the promise. It’s time we live and love like we know it. It’s happening right before us. Today’s a good day to start again. It’s a good day to die too the old and to allow ourselves to be quickened alive again unto the new thing coming about in our life and love now and later. It’s closer than when we first believed… let us look, live and love like it is so Now&Later. In the words of Bishop T. D. Jakes it high time that we “get ready, get ready, GET READY!” Now is the time to shift our practice, proclamation and passion because the promise is manifesting and we want to be ready not having to get ready upon our suddenly.

Let’s look, live and love like we believe it is so now before we get to later. Our latter promises it will be greater, grander and God granted if we believe. Now&Later let us aim to look, live and love like the delays, disappointments, and discouragements of life and love didn’t stop, impede, hurt or hamper anything. God allowed it, used it to help advance His purpose for our life and love. Gods plan prevails we’re showing up to promise brighter, better…blessed. Today looks better than yesterday we just might want to look, live, and love like it. Our future’s not getting the same us as our past…its getting the better us without the weight, wear and tear and wounded(ness) of what it took to get us here. Promise deserves that type of expectation, execution, excitement and effort. Day 1 again got me feeling like I can do this…like I believe God keeps His promises…like I’m enjoying the process of now in preparation for later. I got my stash and I’m getting ready to share my goodies…it’s my focus both now&later. You and I are witnessing, welcoming and walking into God’s perfect packaging and presentation of Now and Later…how sweet a promise~AntTBri
