Failure to launch
Often times on our journey we will come to a place that feels like stagnation or like we’ve hit a wall. To be quite honest, most of the time we are the stagnation or wall.
We ask God to increase our faith but when opportunities arise for us to exercise that faith we fail to launch. We must remember that “faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1) Sometimes you’re going to have to leap.
This isn’t a free pass to make impulsive unwise decisions but rather a reminder that a “a good man’s steps are ordered by the Lord” (Psalm 37:23). It was explained to me once that many people misinterpret this and think it means you just standing around waiting for God to hand you a detailed itinerary of His plan. While you should always move in wisdom, once you have received your confirmation (sometimes multiple times) you’re going to have to walk. When you walk, God will order your steps.
Even if you make a mistake, He always has a plan to get you to your destiny at the moment it was predestined for you to be there.
Goodbye 2020
2020.
It’s amazing how fast a year can fly by yet seem to last forever. December of 2019 was when Heaven Razah / Hell Razah was diagnosed with cancer. We rolled into 2020 with a date for surgery in February.
After some complications, he was released from the hospital March 9, 2020 and on March 13, 2020 w everybody was on house arrest because of the corona virus. For Thanksgiving this year we both battled a round with the corona virus.
But despite personal battles and the chaotic state of the world? God has blessed me this year beyond measure. I’ve been working from home, bought a home and have been spending an obscene amount of time with the people I love most.
I have though been missing in action via blog, music wise and social media. So if you’re one of the people who has supported me in anyway over the years just know that you are appreciated. Sometimes life requires us to unplug and recharge and I think most of you can relate to that.
2020 to me is going to be remembered as the year most people basically went nuts. I had that shalom peace though. Knowing that God is with you is powerful. I’m actually excited with anticipation for what’s next. I’ll tell you what though, getting right with God should be a top priority. The clock is ticking, pay attention.
It is sincerely my hope that you have a blessed and healthy New Year!
If you have not seen the movie “Risen, the story of Chron “Hell Razah” Smith ” you’re missing out on a chance to be inspired. Happy New Year folks!
Activate your Authority
The truth is so simple, it’s hard for most people. There is a “good guy” and a “bad guy”. If you can understand that all by it’s self you you can now start understanding the rest of life according to the word of God. Bible (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) If you want to walk in and own the authority God gave you, there are instructions & guidelines you HAVE to follow in order to activate it (just like a lamp won’t go on unless it’s plugged into the power source). The “bad guy” also has guidelines that he is allowed to exercise and operate in based on how YOU are using the authority you were given. Ever hear the saying, “if you don’t use it, you lose it”?
Beyonce, Lemonade, Oshun, & TIDAL
“OSHUN” also referred to as “Queen of the witches”.
I know, I know all these “conspiracy theories” because why on earth would Beyonce be using subliminal symbolism for millions of people to subconsciously accept in their spirit? Crazy right? (Please apply a generous amount of sarcasm when reading)

Setbacks & Set-ups by @queentheprophet
It’s been a minuet since I’ve blogged one of my infamous rants but honestly it’s because believe it or not, I go through things too family. Behind the glitz, tweets, mix tapes, albums, interviews, blogs, music, shows and all of that (which honestly profits you nothing at the end of the day if your mind isn’t in tact), I too am a real person that has real struggles just like everyone else. I think one of the hardest things that we can all relate to is when things don’t go according to the way we plan them, especially when you put time, work, effort into a plan or you feel like you’ve finally come to a place in your life where you have a sense of comfort, schedule, or control and then the whole entire thing gets knocked out of whack. This is something that when you get taken for an unplanned roller coaster ride in life (i.e. a natural disaster, loosing a job, death in the family, etc.) it tends to feel like you are alone and it’s only happening to you. The truth is, it’s not. Every single one of us has had or will have these times or moments in life where it feels like nothing’s happening at all or on the flip side, it’s all happening at once.
One of the most important things to remember is that when these things happen? It’s a part of life. If things didn’t change, you would become complacent and you wouldn’t grow. Many of the wisdom’s you’ve accumulated in your own life are from what? Experience. We in our own human nature are selfish beings instinctively. Most of the time our first reaction to a crisis isn’t a celebration. How many times at the moment you hit a crisis you immediately were grateful? How many times have you looked back after a crisis was over and been grateful? Learning how to navigate life and see the wisdom and beauty in situations often requires us to die to our natural selfishness and step outside the situation and ourselves in order to see what’s actually happening.
We are entitled to nothing. The truth of the matter is, you are not born with a guarantee that you will have any certain kind of life or luxury. Things like your health or your home can honestly be here one day and gone the next and somebody always, always, always has it worse then you do. We say that, but we don’t really get that because it’s very easy to forget that there are people in this world RIGHT NOW displaced from their homes, never had a home, don’t have anything to eat or don’t have any idea where their next meal is coming from, or are freezing to death sleeping under a bridge. Not one of us is guaranteed or entitled to anything simply because you had it, used to have it, want it, feel it belongs to you, or whatever else. Every single breath you take, moment you spend in good health or your right mind is a reason to be thankful. These are often the times people like to blame everything on God. Sometimes the very thing you’re angry at God for is the very thing He has a plan to flip in a 360, all in your favor but you’d first stop have to complaining to find it.
We have got to start changing the way we think. Everything you feed yourself (this includes the garbage you allow into your soul via your eyes on television, social media, the radio, etc) is going to shape and pre-determine the mindset that you’re going to have and the approach you’re going to take in a situation. It may look like a set-back, but nine times out of ten it’s a set-up for something far greater and better then you could have ever imagined. If you continue to feed yourself the ratchet buffet the world offers you then you’ll likely always be the egotistical whining baby in the corner blaming your entire life and whatever series of unfortunate events that have unfolded on everyone and everything else. I’m not saying bad things don’t happen, and I’m not saying uncontrollable tragedies don’t happen either. What I am saying is we can absolutely choose to allow those things to destroy us or we can use them to help ourselves and help others.

Compromise and the #Truth by @queentheprophet
Compromise can be one of the best things in the world and one of the worst. Knowledge without wisdom is useless. If you have knowledge but yet not the wisdom to know where & when to use the knowledge, what good is it?
Compromise is very important in a marriage, relationships, at work etc. When dealing with other people and their feelings, to a healthy degree compromise is necessary. Today we’re not going to talk about healthy compromise, we’re going to talk about when compromise can become dangerous. There are things in this world that are right or wrong, black or white and there is no in between. If you really examine it, sometimes people advocate for the “gray area” because it justifies the way they want things to go.
There are something’s in this life that absolutely can’t be compromised. What those things are to you personally, only you will know because the core of them comes from your own personal beliefs and value system. Sad but true, most people aren’t even sure what they believe. Haven’t you ever heard the saying “if you don’t stand for something you’ll fall for anything”? Have your feet firmly planted so that you won’t get washed away by the storms in life.
There is one thing though, that cannot and will never be compromised and that is the truth.
New American Standard Bible
For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
King James Bible
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
(Hebrews 4:12)
Something’s are right, something’s are wrong. This is not a free pass to insult or disrespect anyone, but by all means there is never a dollar amount, man or woman, material object, or fears of what people might say or think about you that is a good enough excuse for us to compromise the truth.

NEVER GIVE UP by @queentheprophet
Greetings Fam!
Peace and blessings. I want to talk about something that every person in the world needs to hear. Let’s talk about not giving up. Life can deal us all curve balls that we weren’t expecting and sometimes those curveballs come from our own karma. The thing that we forget most is that God is not a genie in a bottle. When you pray for things like faith, God does not wave a magic wand and boom you have faith. Situations which will allow you to test your faith and make your faith strong pop up.
When you have something in your heart that you can’t go a day without thinking about, never give up. It does not matter what it looks like on the outside. We as human beings are impatient. We want everything here and now, and when it doesn’t go the way WE THINK it should go, too often times we assume it’s not working. In actuality what appears to be a set-back is normally a set-up for something even greater if you hang on.
I have found (the hard way, because simply I am hardheaded… yea I know, I’m working on it) that in any of my tornado of situations, that how we are responding to the test is exactly what predicts the outcome of the reward. Think about it, have you ever been sorry in the long run that you took the high road in a situation as opposed to reacting in temporary emotion? Fam, people are mean, people lie on you, people are nasty, and I’m sorry but that is just a part of life. We cannot control other people, but we can absolutely control ourselves. If you allow it to anger you, it controls you.
If you lay down with pigs you’re gonna get dirty. You can’t be mad any anyone but yourself that you jumped in a pig pen. Too often times we forget to accept the personal responsibility in situations, even the ones that aren’t necessarily your fault. I’m going to share this with you, because quite honestly it’s the best exsample I can think of and if it helps one person? It was worth it. I got married in my early twenties and it was a disaster. I got married for all the wrong reasons. I was in church and I thought I was on my way to hell and I had to marry the person I was living with. That was one of the stupidest things to-date that I have ever done. The marriage ended in divorce and it wasn’t technically my fault because my former husband cheated on me continuously.
Here’s the thing though, I got over it not because of divorce and not because years later I got an apology. I got over it because I learned that I played a part in it too. I got married for the wrong reasons. I knew my X-husband was a terrible boyfriend, and it was nobody’s fault but MINE that he was turned into a terrible husband. I knew full well what it was when I did it, I did it anyway. If you can get raw with yourself infront of the mirror and accept the part that you played and throw that pride in the trash? I promise that you will find yourself getting over things faster and healing. The evidence of healing is you stop talking about it every time somebody scratches that surface. If every time somebody puts a quarter in your slot and you start running your mouth? You’re not over it.
You can’t give up on things no matter how grim they may appear. FEAR= FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL. Don’t give up on love, don’t give up on life, don’t give up on your dreams, and NEVER give up on yourself.

FACTS & TRUTH by @queentheprophet
Greetings Fam!
Now you know, I always talk about topics in regards to myself because I can’t speak for anyone else. There is something I have learned over the course of life and my career that if you can learn it before you go through it, I promise you will save yourself a lot of annoyance.
Fam, people are going to talk about you, people are going to assume things, people are going to lie on you, and people are going to not like you. Nobody likes everybody and if you live your life to be a people pleaser? You will find yourself stressed & depressed. The only person you ever should be worried about impressing is God and he requires a lot less then the people walking the earth. REAL TALK. There are people in this world that stand before million dollar ministries, claim God and all they do is twist facts and present it as truth. Now if the devils walking this earth are bold enough to do that…. What makes you think they won’t do it to you? Jesus was sold out for 30 pieces of silver by someone who sat with him and watched him perform miracles. So the next time you find yourself asking “Why me?” Well, why not you? Think about it.
I have also learned from numerous painful experiences that facts and truth are two different things. You can have the facts and not the truth. Fact: Man kills another man. Truth: Father shoots intruder that was attempting to rape his daughter. Fact: Woman was fired from her job. Truth: Woman was fired for numerous violations of company policy and had already been given several warnings and opportunities to improve. Now let that lesson swirl around in your brain.
You have to understand that normal fleshy human behavior is selfish. Nobody is exempt. The closer we get to God for real, the less selfish we become. Anyone who truly walks in love, doesn’t have to tell you because the evidence will be there. It doesn’t mean that anyone is perfect, but there are certain truths that manifest and can’t be hidden.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
New International Version (NIV)
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Galatians 5:22-23
New International Version (NIV)
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
The TRUTH never goes on a rant, never gets defensive, and doesn’t fight back. Why? Because it’s the truth. The truth doesn’t have to prove its self nor does it have to defend its self because it will be the truth even if it’s not believed.
Love is patient, its kind. The fruit of it is peace, joy, kindness. Examine situations, examine people. Understand that hurting people hurt other people. No emotionally healthy person does things like uses social media as a personal soap box to speak about things they don’t even have the truth of nor do spiritually healthy people attempt to destroy other human beings. Only a fool speaks about matters to the public before they even (if ever) include the person they’re talking about. I mention this Fam because it’s been done to me and I know that it’s happened to some of you. If you allow yourself to behave like them, you become no better then them. Our victory, our growth comes in the knowing the truth and that God will fight our battles. The bible says “A man who cannot control his emotions is like a city with broken down walls”. Doesn’t mean the city is gone forever, but right now it’s not a place you need to be in because its walls are broken and there is no protection offered inside its walls.
Be encouraged Fam…. God’s got it.

A PERFECT WORLD by @queentheprophet
http://http://youtu.be/GqiS3f4gxCQ
Once Upon a Time in A Perfect World…..
Nobody was homeless. Everyone had a roof over their head. Nobody ever had to choose between paying their utilities and buying groceries. People did not stay up all night worrying about paying their bills, not having enough, or if they were going to make it until the end of the week. Nobody lay awake in pain at night because they couldn’t afford to see a doctor. People did not immediately wake up stressed out in the morning and step outside of their front door angry before even uttering a good morning. Everyone’s basic needs were provided. Everyone was able to see a doctor and get medical treatment when they were sick. Everyone had food, clothing, & shelter. The world was a happier place and crime was a rare occurrence.
The system of this world is broken.
This world has enough wealth for NOBODY to be less fortunate. This world can certainly afford for everyone to survive but yet so many can’t. Maybe it’s because we pay professional athletes multiple millions of dollars to play a game, while human service workers who care for our disabled, homeless, mentally ill, and senior citizens do so for $12 per hour and work 2-3 jobs just to survive. Can you imagine? If all the mental health workers stopped showing up to work? Do you think the professional athletes would come assist the clients? Why is it we have billionaires on the globe and yet it cost $2, 000 (USD) to build a water well in an African village but yet we have villages for miles with no clean drinking water?
Have you been to any of the cities in the last 3-years that have suffered a disaster? Have you seen Ground Zero in NYC? Have you been to New Orleans? Do you know anyone still camped out on their lawn because of Hurricane Sandy? Just because you don’t see these things on the news everyday does not mean for a moment that they were solved or no longer exist.
Do you only know what you see on TV? Do you only believe what you’re told? People who are crazy enough to believe that they can change the world, often do. You may not change the world today, but you can change you. Get informed, seek the TRUTH FOR YOURSELF.
Be Blessed.

National Poetry Month /Hash Tag Stories of #TEAMQUEEN @queentheprophet SPEAKS
The Love of a King
Ladies listen close, men take some notes.
The love of a King can make a Queen’s heart float.
Every woman in her heart, no matter how long she’s been strong,
desperately wants her heart to know her soul mate’s song.
She was made from his rib, to always be by his side.
But sometimes it’s blinded by false king’s who’ve lied.
Queen’s just wait, peace be still.
Your King will find YOU, when it’s in God’s will.
In order to qualify for a love that will last,
make sure you’ve healed from things of past.
It’s all up to you how long this will take.
Never make one pay for a heart they didn’t break.
No, everyone is not the same.
There are wolves in sheep’s clothing that love to play games.
Protect your heart and know thy self.
Don’t believe falsehoods that come from someone else.
Don’t worry, Q would never judge you.
Look at all the poor choices I myself have lived through.
It seems now I speak of this in simplicity.
Only because it’s finally happened to me.
My King came into my kingdom, but never wanted my throne.
A real King comes with one of his own.
A King will presue your mind as first on his list.
He will never communicate love with a hand or a fist.
In each other your heart should safely trust.
Communication is key and is a real love must.
A King will work hard and prove worthy of respect.
With ease he’ll pass the family & friends test.
A King honors God first and not because of me.
He does it on his own because that’s the way it’s supposed to be.
He makes me proud of the man he is every single day.
I wish I knew back then it was supposed to be this way.
My King’s spirit shines, he’s a reflection of me.
Together we are the perfect reflection of He.
Now our cord is a bond of 3.
Honor and respect were the seeds that grew our tree.
He says as long as I want him he will never leave me.
It doesn’t even matter when he’s miles away.
My King makes me fall in love again every single day.
He compliments my future, he healed my past.
Happily every after is finally in my grasp.
Make no mistake, don’t envy what I have.
Now you know it’s possible so you should be glad.
You need to hold on, never give up your hope.
True love shows up when you need it the most.
Queen….. Ghost
