The Lens by which you view

Invoking men to view the Lens by which they see out of whether it be good or bad

As I (being led by the spirit) began to assert myself in the things of GOD Man Power found me I was not looking for any flexing I did enough of that when I was on the other side of the Blood. in the 90”s Bishop Kinsey whom I served under sent us to Atlanta GA , to experience life pulse from MEN all walks of life.... And it was screaming at me purpose /assignment/direction:

But later we sought what was SAMBI (Strong Awareness of a Male Black Image )in 1979 which later became MOD MEN of Distinction this chapter established in 1981-1983 Were he was appointed National Ministry for MEN MOD, and now carrying the mantle for men Bishop Gary L Hall Sr.

He has often coined this affinity GOD give me something to Believe , God give me something to Hear, and God give me something to Obey! Thus we are seated amongst a cloud of witnesses in this endeavor. I have sought and have learned there are 4 things amongst many that people look for in a man

Consistency: are intellectual-we can think, reason, and solve problems; like God, we are relational we can give and receive real love; and we have a moral consciousness-we can discern right from wrong, (which makes us accountable to God. )

and receive real love; and we have a moral

consciousness-we can discern right from wrong,

which makes us accountable to God.

Bishop Gary Hall. (n.d.). The Purpose Driven Life.

God’s nature, plans and purpose do not change. The same consistent plan of salvation can be seen throughout the OT and NT, culminating in Jesus Christ who is “the same yesterday and today and for ever”. Believers are also called to show the same consistency in their faith and witness.

Strength ( ) If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small.

Your strength is small.

Maturity:  When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

Decisiveness: Being devoted to God involves giving daily of yourself, your possessions, your thoughts, your heart, and your decisions to the Lord. It implies a continuous intimacy with God—of knowing and being known by Him. (New Spirit-Filled Life Bible)

40 And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.

And these are the sum total of the Lens by which you view whether your eyes of understanding is good or bad Light or darkness

Lens colors the condition of your heart, as in the case of the Lamp of the Body “

No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light.

34 “The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness.

35 “Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness.

31 “Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, ahe passed by on the other side.

32 “Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side.

33 “But a certain aSamaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had bcompassion.*

New Spirit-Filled Life Bible Chapter 10

35 “On the next day, 1when he departed, he took out two adenarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.’

36 “So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?”
