Who you calling dirty???

Who are you calling dirty?

This post is inspired by the dream Peter had before Cornelius came to visit his house. He had a vision of a blanket with all the worlds animals and living things on it.[Acts 10:10-16] A voice told him to kill and eat but he said nah man, that stuff is unclean. Then the voice tells him don't call something God created unclean

This is deep. Because often times we find ourselves not necessarily calling animals dirty, but downplaying God's creations in other ways. And when I say God's creations, I mean each other. We even tell ourselves we're unclean, dirty and unworthy. We are created equally as God's creatures. It is the Devil. (Satan means The Accuser) who convinces us its cool to call this person less than what they are and to call them out of their name. It is also he that convinces you urself are less than what u are. It started when he made Adam and Eve feel ashamed of being naked, which is how God made them and intended them to be. Now we put on layers of clothes we don't need and can't afford in an effort to cover up how God made us (another story for another time). It is also Satan that convinces u in any way he can to sin then when ur done he accuses you like Ha look at you now, you messed up. But you are still clean by the blood of Jesus. You were created as clean. You were created in perfection. You are clean and made uncommon because God made u that way.

Also, sometimes we think we're too good to take certain things and consider them blessings. In his dream, Peter had every animal in front of him and was told to eat. He coulda had a full on BBQ buffet, light up some pork, some nice beef and some fried chicken but he thought he was too good to eat what he considered dirty animals. Sometimes we pray for a blessing and when it comes we look at it like, "that's it Lord? I needed 500,000 nd all I got was a job that pays 9 dollars an hour. I can't get jiggy with this!" But did you stop and think what God is trying to tell you? When presented with a new potential blessing, pray on it. Ask God to show u the right way. Ask Him what He's trying to tell you. Take that leap of faith. Me personally, I was strugglin to find a job post-graduation. I was about to take any job thrown my way to the point where I almost got swindled into some sus company called Primerica. (cough Pyramid scheme cough) Then I slowed down and asked the Lord to lead me. I got opportunities but wanted the choose the best fit for my situation. NOT the one that I felt was the dream job but the one that would provide for my current needs. Some ppl are like do you like where you work? I enjoy it but that's not what its about. It's about God bringing down that blanket from heaven full of opportunities and saying Jelani. Stand and pick one. Just know its not permanent and that I will bless you exceedingly and abundantly above all you can ask when the time is right but for now take these drops of blessings and have faith I will provide.

You are not above anything but at the same time u are not dirt and u are seperated in a very special way. Don't let your pride ruin you but don't let any one convince you that you have no reason to be prideful. Don't starve yourself because this job is only 15 an hour and you were expecting to get 30 but at the same time look at your environment. Those counting on you much rather 15 an hour from you humility rather than 0 an hour because of hubris. Don't become your own worst enemy. Look at every opportunity as a blessing. And remember we are all created clean and perfect because God, the cleanest and only perfect being created us. So ask yourself, Who/What am I calling dirty?
