Scripture Of The Day - DISCIPLESHIP

Matthew 28:18-20 18And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Jesus told His disciples to teach them to observe all the things He commanded. The words “teaching them to observe all things” literally is the word that is translated “Disciple” throughout the bible. Most versions translate this “go and make disciples”.

COMPARE THE FOLLOWING:

Case #1: If you evangelize 1000 people per year for 15 years, you would have 15,000 new believers (assuming they were all genuine converts).

Case #2: If you led one person to the Lord every 6 months and spent the next 6 months teaching that person so they could reproduce themselves – in 1 year there would be 2 new Christians. However, after 12 years, if each continues to reproduce themselves every 6 months there would be no one left on earth to evangelize! Jesus’ method of discipleship would have produced nearly 6 billion disciples in less than 13 years.


Discipleship evangelism works!

Scripture Of The Day - THE SPIRIT OF SUPERIOR KNOWLEDGE

l Corinthians 3:18,19 - "Make no mistake about it: if anyone of you thinks of himself as wise, in the ordinary sense of the word, then he must learn to be a fool before he really can be wise. Why? Because the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God...God is not convinced by the arguments of the wise."

On our own, we cannot comprehend how to grow and live in oneness with God.
Nothing in the world's wisdom, nothing in our human knowledge can match the wisdom of God which is eternal and from above.

Live every day in the knowledge that every bit of spiritual insight is a pure gift from God.
The only way to receive wisdom from God is to come before Him (submitting your spirit to Him), pushing away every bit of understanding you think you have gained, and each day, offer yourself as a servant who is willing to do the lowest job.

As long as you allow the spirit of "superior knowledge" to secretly overtake you -- that is, to be master of you of your own soul -- you will be as powerless in spirit as a slave -- always subject to your lower nature.

Scripture Of The Day - DIVIDING ASUNDER OF SOUL AND SPIRIT

Hebrews 4:12 - "For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart."

The first action of God's word is to wound, to cut, to divide.
In the soul the natural life has its seat;
In the spirit -- the spiritual and divine.
Sin has brought confusion and disorder bringing the spirit under the mastery of the soul -- the natural life.

GOD'S WORD:
Divides and separates.
Wakens the spirit to a sense of its destiny as the faculty for the unseen and eternal;
Brings the soul to a knowledge of itself as a captive to the power of sin.
Cutting deep and sure, discovering the deep corruption of sin.
As the knife of the surgeon, who seeks to heal -- pierces even to the dividing of the joints and marrow where it is needed -- there is not part of the inner being to which it does not pass.

The heart that will but yield itself to be searched by God's Word -- to have its secret thoughts and intents discerned and judged by it -- will be freed from its erring and unbelief and quickened and cleansed and made a living tablet on which the word is written by God Himself.

How blessed to yield our hearts to the judgment of the word.

Scripture Of The Day - THE SECOND PLACE JESUS SHED HIS BLOOD

Leviticus 16:14,19 - "Before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.....Then he shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, cleanse it, and consecrate it."

The second place, Jesus shed His blood was at the whipping post. (Matthew 27:26)

Isaiah 53:5 - "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed."

In First Peter 2:24, the apostle Peter quoted Isaiah 53:5. He told his readers, "....By whose stripes ye were healed." The word "stripes" used in this verse is "molopsi", which describes a full-body bruise. It refers to a terrible lashing that draws blood and that produces discoloration and swelling of the entire body.

After graphically reminding us of the beating, bleeding, and bruising that Jesus endured, Peter declared that it was by these same stripes that we are "healed." The word "healed" is the Greek word "iaomai"--a word that clearly refers to PHYSICAL healing, as it is a word borrowed from the medical term to describe the physical healing or curing of the human body.

For those who think this promise refers to spiritual healing only, the Greek word emphatically speaks of the healing of a physical condition. This is a real promise of bodily healing that belongs to all who have been washed in the blood of Jesus Christ.

Jesus' broken body was the payment God demanded to guarantee our physical healing! Just as Jesus willfully took our sins and died on the Cross in our place, He also wilfully took our sicknesses and pains on Himself when they tied Him to the scourging post and laid those lashes across His body. That horrific scourging paid for our healing!

James 1:6,7 - "Let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord. "

To come boldly and confidently to God for healing is the opposite of saying, "If it be Thy will." If we question God's will for us when we ask Him for something, we are double-minded, cannot ask in faith, and He cannot heal us.

Scripture Of The Day - DOOR OPEN IN HEAVEN

Revelation 4:1 - "After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, 'Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things."'

That voice is still calling to all who will hear. There is a door open in heaven and the spirit is beckoning us to come up there.

The ultimate quest of every Christian is to walk the earth from a position seated with Christ Jesus in the heavenly places.
Therefore, our prayer must be the one that He taught His disciples, for His kingdom to come, and His will to be done, on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10).

We can never be too heavenly minded. The true good that we are able to do on earth will be dependent on the degree to which we have attained the heavenly treasures.


RELEASING THE KINGDOM

The naturally minded man, along with his traditions, has taken the Kingdom of God captive here on the earth, and therein lays the task before us.

"Nor will people say, Look! Here (it is)! or, See, (it is) there! For behold, the Kingdom of God is within you (in your hearts) and among you (surrounding you)."

We must look up to receive the inward transformation that must take place. The first and foremost revelation that will bring us there is through that open door in Revelation 4.

We must WAGE WAR WITH OUR DULLNESS OF SPIRIT to press into the revelation of who He is in order to release the Kingdom of God in the earth.
O that we would have that perpetually hearing heart that can recognize the Lord's voice calling us to "Come up here" into the revelation of Jesus Christ. He is the only One who is worthy! In doing so, we truly can make the transition that we are experiencing to be made manifest as the sons of God in the Earth.

Scripture Of The Day - The Reality Of The New Creation

2 Corinthians 5:17 - "Wherefore if any man is in Christ, he is a New Creation: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new, and all these things are of God Who has reconciled us unto Himself."

When we receive Christ as our Savior and confess Him as our Lord, we become a branch of the Vine.

John 15:5 - "I am the Vine and ye are the branches."

We become utterly one with Christ.

2 Peter 1:4 tells us that we become partakers of the Divine Nature and have escaped the corruption that came into the world through Adam's transgression. That corruption is Spiritual Death. The escape is Eternal Life.
John 10:10 - "I am come that they might have life and have it more abundantly.
The word "life" is from the Greek word "Zoe". It means Eternal Life.

1 John 6:7 - "He that believeth hath Eternal Life."

The Holy Spirit would have us know this fact: that believing is possessing. The instant that you believe, you have.

1 John 5:13 - "These things have I written unto you that ye may know that ye have Eternal Life, even to you that believe on His Name."

You may mentally assent and never have.
You may hope and never have
But the instant you "believe" it is yours.

Scripture Of The Day - EIGHT WAYS CHRIST'S BLOOD AVAILS US

There are many Scriptural benefits concerning what the Blood of Jesus has done for us.

According to Revelation 12:11, "And they (the believers) overcame him (the accuser of the brethren) because of the Blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even to death."

We overcome by testifying what the Blood of Jesus has accomplished. His triumph over the powers of darkness is enforced as we agree with and declare the benefits of His precious Blood.
According to Hebrews 12:24, Jesus has established a new covenant through His Blood interceding on our behalf to establish His Blood covenant with us. As Leviticus 17:11 says, "For the life of the flesh is in the Blood." In Christ's Blood, we receive life that death cannot conquer (see Isaiah 53:12; John 6:53-57).

The Eight Ways the Blood of Jesus Avails for Us:
1. Forgiveness. I have been forgiven through the Blood of Jesus. Hebrews 9:22, "All things are cleansed with the Blood and without the shedding of Blood there can be no forgiveness."

2. Cleansing. The Blood of Jesus has cleansed me from all sin. I John 1:7, "But if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the Blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin." (See also 1 Peter 1:2.)

3. Redemption. I have been redeemed by the Blood of the lamb. Ephesians 1:7, "In Him we have redemption through His Blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace." (See also Romans 7:14; 1 Peter 1:18-19.)

4. Justification. By the Blood I am justified--just as if I have never sinned. Romans 5:9, "Much more then, having now been justified by His Blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him." (See also 2 Corinthians 5:21.)

5. Sanctification. I have been sanctified through Jesus' Blood for a holy calling and out of satan's territory by the Blood of Jesus. Hebrews 13:12, "Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own Blood, suffered outside the gate."

6. Peace. Peace has been made for me through the Blood of the Cross. Colossians 1:20, "And having made peace through the Blood of His Cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in Heaven."

7. Access. I now have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the Blood of Jesus. Hebrews 10:19, "Since therefore, brother, we have confidence to enter the holy place by the Blood of Jesus." (See also Ephesians 2:13-14.)

8. Power Over Satan. - I have power over any circumstance that does not match up with heaven. "They defeated him by the blood of the Lamb. and by their testimony." - Revelation 12:11

INTO ACTION

What are the last 3 occasions when I meditated on the Power of the Blood of Jesus?

 

[Pegasus]

1 Thessalonians 4: NASB

13But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. 14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 15For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of thearchangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Scripture Of The Day - THE POWER OF DECREE

"If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God." - 1 Peter 4:11 NIV

One of the greatest revelations of the New Testament is that Christ dwells within His people who live on the earth. That is why they are called the Body of Christ. We actually become the hands and feet of Jesus Christ in the earth, but we also become His mouth. God speaks prophetically through His people.

Think about a statement of Paul's: "...the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you..." (Romans 8:11 AMP).
What type of human being does this really make you? It makes us like God in the earth. Not that we are God, but we are sons of God and made in His image. We are "Godlike ones." The Lord told Moses: "See, I make you as God to Pharaoh" - (Exodus 7:1).

We speak as God's earthly representatives. By releasing the voice of the Lord through the power of the spoken word, we can decree a thing and it will come to pass. It will happen. And it's all done by speaking words of faith.

"You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God's favor] shall shine upon your ways." - Job 22:28 AMP

There are both physical and spiritual requirements for releasing the miraculous. We need the cloud of the glory of God's presence, and then we must understand how to speak into it. It's time for us to switch gears and start speaking glory presence decrees in order to operate in the higher realities of creative miracles.

PRAYER DIRECTIVES
• Ask the Holy Spirit to show you any place that your words are not agreeing with the words of God.

• Change what you are believing and saying; speak out the words of God over your life, your family, your finances.

• Pray for the Body of Christ to gain a greater revelation of being His representatives in the earth that will bring a new level of signs and wonders, healings and miracles.

• Ask the Lord for His vision for your nation and for your city and decree what He says, releasing supernatural power.

Scripture Of The Day - EMBRACING TRANSITION

"The Lord blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys." - Job 42:12 NIV
From time to time we actually have to come out of one project completely before God can transition us to the next assignment. Something that closes in our lives can make us feel like we are out of control, going to shipwreck, or worse yet, never able to rebound.
Sometimes our calendars, schedules, and plans just don't line up with where God wants to take us anymore, so He decides to change our course.
"Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Savior, and my hope is in You all day long." - Psalm 25:5 NIV
God knows what you are about to walk through and He is already prepared for it. Don't be afraid to share how you really feel with Him. He wants to hear what you have to say about it. At first it can feel breathtaking and even fearful, but God is there. He is in the heights, the depths, and the small steps of faith you are about to take.

STEPPING OUT OF THE BOAT

Some of the steps ahead will be like walking on water. Unfortunately, we don't get to pick the visibility of the water or the depth of the ocean that the Lord asks us to step out on.
"Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence?" - Psalm 139:7 NIV
Rest assured that God never closes a door unless He intends on opening something else for you. He will not leave you abandoned!
"Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow down before you with their faces to the ground; they will lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the Lord; those who hope in Me will not be disappointed" (Isaiah 49:23 NIV).

Scripture Of The Day - THE NOW ACTIVATION OF FAITH

Luke 8:47 is the story of the woman who had an issue of blood who desperately pressed through the crowd to lay hold of the hem of Jesus' garment: "Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at His feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched Him and how she had been instantly healed."

When she reached out and touched Him, full of faith and expectation, Jesus stopped and said, "Who touched Me? His disciples replied, "Lord, many are touching you...we are in a crowd!" But Jesus said, "No, someone purposely touched Me because I felt virtue/power go out of Me." (See verse 45-46). And the woman was immediately made whole.

GOD IS WAITING ON US TO SET THE TIME

Most of the time when Jesus was healing the crowds of people He was doing that which He saw the Father doing. But in this instance, it wasn't Jesus that "set the time" for this woman's miracle, but rather the woman "set the time" through her faith, desperation, and determination.

Many times when we are believing for a miracle we may feel we have positioned ourselves and we are waiting on God, when in fact, God is waiting on us to activate our faith to "set the time" for the release of the supernatural turnaround.

In the words of John G. Lake, "If the Spirit doesn't move me, then I move the Spirit!"
Now is the time for us to "set the time" and put a demand on the anointing of God to release miracles of provision, turnaround, and healing. Pull your future miracle into the NOW by activating your faith and pressing into His presence as never before. Remember, every day is Jubilee when you are in Christ!

Scripture Of The Day -EMERGING INTO THE LIGHT

John 15:1,2,4 - "I am the Real Vine and my Father is the Farmer. He cuts off every branch of Me that doesn't bear grapes. And every branch that is grape bearing he prunes back so it will bear even more....Make your home in Me just as I do in you.....When you're joined with Me and I with you, the relation intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant." - (The Message Bible)

God must show us the great darkness we are in when our soul tries to find its ultimate happiness, consolation, and security in this world.
It is the cleansing, purging work of God to take out this "flaw." He oversees the soul through many hardships, and through times when it feels dry and lifeless.

God shows us the great darkness we are in when our soul tries to find spiritual nourishment and where there is no life.
As God's Spirit cultivates His new type of life in us, the only envy we will experience is a longing to be more like those who exhibit human obedience to Christ. And He uproots our old sluggishness and complaining about obeying God when it means passing up comforts and pleasures.

For He has revealed the endless crop of boredom we will harvest when we base life on pleasure-seeking -- instead of seeking His PURPOSE FOR OUR LIFE, sowing acts of goodness and love for a harvest of eternal life.

INTO ACTION:

Each time dryness comes -- and it will come back with greater ferocity, like a consuming hot wind -- stand your ground and retreat in quietness of soul.

The reality of God's presence will come to you, and each time He does, your inner man will perceive more of His transcendent beauty than your natural mind can imagine.

 

[Albert Finch]

Scripture Of The Day - THE HOLY SPIRIT SAYS -- TODAY

Hebrews 3:7 - "Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, TODAY, if you shall hear His voice, harden not your hearts."

The Holy Spirit says, TODAY. What does this mean?
God is the Eternal One. With Him there is no yesterday or tomorrow; what we call past and future are with Him an ever-present NOW. His life is an ever-blessed, never-ending TODAY.

Jesus has become the author of eternal salvation -- that is, a salvation which bears the character of eternity; its chief mark is that it is an ever-present NOW -- that there is not a moment in which Christ, who ever lives to pray for us, is not able to maintain us in it in the power of an endless life.

Even as the Holy Spirit says TODAY, satan's word is ever "TOMORROW, God's demand is too great for TODAY."
The Holy Spirit says, TODAY! That means that He who is the mighty power of God is Himself ready to work in us the CALLING He has on our individual life and asks; it is He who is each moment pleading for immediate surrender, for a present trust, because He bears with him the power of a present salvation.


AFFIRMATIONS:

TODAY, this very moment, the wondrous love of God is for me -- it is even now being poured out into my heart as I willingly receive it.

TODAY, all that Christ has done, and is now doing in heaven, and is able to do within me -- this very day --- to advance His Kingdom PURPOSE for my life.

TODAY, the Holy Spirit, is within me -- sufficient for every need, equal to every emergency.

With every prayer I breathe, and every longing that rules in my heart, there is the Spirit of promise whispering, TODAY!

Scripture Of The Day - ENTERING THE REST OF GOD

Hebrews 4:9-11 LB - "So there is a full complete rest still waiting for the people of God. Christ has already entered there......let us do our best to go into that place of rest, too..."

The life of faith, when a soul learns to trust God for victory over sin, and yields itself entirely, to its CALLING in Christ, to live just where and how He wills, that it enters the rest. It lives in the promise, in the will and the power of God -- through faith (not through the death of the body), but the death to self in the death of Christ through faith.

It is the soul that thirsts for God, for the living God, that will have the spiritual capacity for receiving the revelation of how Jesus, the High Priest, brings us into God's presence.
Psalm 63:1 - "O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water."

Faith ceases to seek help in itself or its efforts, to be troubled with its need or its weakness; it rests in the sufficiency of the all-sufficient One who has undertaken all.

Trust Jesus.
Give up and forsake the wilderness.

Follow the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus is the rest.

Scripture Of The Day - THE HOLY SPIRIT -- OUR HELPER

John 14:16 -- "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever..."

The Holy Spirit, the Helper, is ready to give out gifts and is giving out gifts to those who are asking, knocking and seeking and believing that God will do what He says He will do.


THROUGH FAITH THE HOLY SPIRIT BRINGS GOD'S PROMISES TO PASS


Jeremiah 1:12 -- "The Lord said to me, 'You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that My word is fulfilled."'

The Holy Spirit is here to help bring these promises to pass. The greatest gift He gave us was Jesus. We must believe in the goodness of God, His desire to give specifically to us, and present ourselves in ready-mode to receive all that He wants to give.

John 10:10 -- "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly."


HE WILL DO A NEW THING IN US AND GIVE US A REVELATION OF OUR DESTINY


Isaiah 43:19 -- "Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."

The Holy Spirit is ready to give new anointings to His people. Those who welcome Him will receive new revelations of their DESTINY created out of His glory presence.
The excellence of what He does will catch us off guard and put the "awe of God" back in our hearts. We will say, "How awesome! This is amazing!" Our hearts will well with thanksgiving and joy at the sight of His work.

Isaiah 61:7 --" Instead of your shame you shall have double honor, and instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be theirs."

He will build something new that we were not expecting, but because we welcomed Him in our house it will just be part of the blessing of His presence.

seriously...thanks for this. Scripture alone is powerful, but...coupled with helpful commentary and summary....helps, tremendously. thanks again.

Scripture Of The Day - EQUIPPING THE SAINTS

1 John 3:16 - "We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren."

There is something the Church seriously needs to attain to today. Somehow preaching has seeped in that makes one believe that believers have to get good first before graduating from being a baby Christian. Well, that happy day is never going to come if all they are doing is sitting at home, reading the bible-- trying to please God by improving their attitudes and behaviors, and thereby living unto themselves.

The best way to cultivate a love walk is through personal ministry to others (helping others with their spiritual life). That requires action, time, and involvement.

At the root of this problem is poor preaching ie. preaching that does not exhort the congregation into equipping its members to disciple new believers -- promoting the idea that they are inadequate or not ready for some reason. This has got to change.

Jesus admonished the disciples, "...take heed what ye hear.." (Mark 4:24). We should not sit under teaching we know is in error, because that spirit of error is being transmitted -- even though we may know that it is wrong-- it will eventually affect us if we hear it long enough.

Churches, that are not encouraging and equipping its members to disciple other believers, should be turned away from.

Now is the day of salvation!
Now is the day of the equipping of the saints!
Now is the day of Jesus Christ!

 

[Albert Finch]

Scripture Of The Day - THE GOODNESS OF GOD

"SURELY your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life... " (Ps. 23:6 NIV).

If you set your heart on pursuing the goodness of God, you're always headed in the right direction.
POSITIONING OUR HEART
Moses knew that really well. Moses prayed that he would know God, to know His ways, to know His presence, and to know His glory! And because his heart was postured in the right place, requesting for the right things, praying for the right priorities, the Lord then promised to shower him with His goodness!
Moses prayed in Exodus 33:
13 Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight... 15 Then he said to Him, "If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here." 18 And he said, "Please, show me Your glory."
And the Lord replied: 14 And He said, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." 19 Then He said, "I will make all My goodness pass before you..."

To know God is to know His glory, to know His glory is to know His presence; to know His presence is to know His ways, to know His ways is to know His goodness!

BELIEVING FOR GOD'S GOODNESS NOW!

How would you like it if the Lord's goodness permeates and invades every area of your life this year, bringing healing and restoration, breakthrough and dreams fulfilled, relationship reconciliation and family salvation, debt cancellation and increased favor at your work?

Psalm 31:19 says, "How great is the goodness You have stored up for those who fear You. You lavish it on those who come to You for protection, blessing them before the watching world."

The Hebrew word for "great" is "rab", meaning abundant, large, of major importance, chief, weighty, noble, princely. And that is the basis, measure, and magnitude of God's goodness that He wants to lavish on us.

And it says God has goodness "stored up" for those who fear Him. It's in the past tense. In other words, in the heart of God and from Heaven's perspective, the goodness of God is a done deal.
He's got it ready; it's stored up for us.
The goodness of God is not something that God does; it is who He is! It is His nature to be good to His children! He is incapable of sabotaging His nature!

All we need is to choose to believe His goodness, declare it, meditate on it, speak it over our lives and circumstances, receive it by faith, and watch what the Lord will do on our behalf!
The Lord will bless you before a watching world! People are going to witness the power, provision, and blessings of God over your life!

AFFIRMATIONS:
I am confident that I see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!
The Lord has stored up goodness for me and He's ready to lavish it over my life!

The Lord will bless me and enlarge my territory. His hand and favor is becoming so evident in my life!
