REAL TALK

Yes, we do that! No judgment, no shame but remember, we all have a voice, and it’s our goal to let the Holy Spirit use it. So, let’s keep encouraging each other as friends in Christ to open up and build community.

Do you need help breaking through the barriers of societal acceptance or doubt? What about self sabotage or a cluttered mindset regarding the wiles of the world? Have no fear! The anxiety you feel is because the unrighteous path is not your place, your calling or your purpose. You have a spirit of virtue, greatness and leadership just waiting to be revealed through repentance and ministry. Discover how through I AM MINISTRIES you can find your breakthrough by helping, serving and partnering with others through unity in action. How so? We all deal with insecurities, inadequacies and or unwarranted fears but more importantly, these emotions are most suffered in silence through self persecution, judgmental anguish and or misconstrued thoughts.

Most would assume, these are attacks from satan, but they’re not! He that comes to kill, steal and destroy your spirit is nothing more than a deceiver. He that desires to devour you is bound from you, least he operates from ones personal guilt, vices or wiles of temptations. Emotions of toil within your struggle, believe it or not can be absolutely condemned through the power in Christ within you. As such, ones self persecution, judgmental anguish and or misconstrued thoughts are often driven by the insecurities of indoctrinated hate, broken trust, and the multitudes of failed bonds. Who did this to you? Was it a red creature with a pitchfork and a pointed tail, or was it from the wickedness of mankind’s brokenness? Think about it, pray on it, and discern. When your ready to accept this understanding, we’re a step closer to becoming a community.

Hey, we get it! As pastor Reginald says on occasion “I know it’s difficult, NOT to play follow the leader, being we’ve been taught, trained, and expected to be followers, consumers, and non-critically thinking pawns on a game board of fixed ideologies. But, there is a way, the way; that can set you free from that regularly scheduled program of merry-go-round motivational skits of religious pay-per view antics requiring acts of participative servitude, which appears to be more of a fundraising itinerary list, than a communing community congregating within the body of Christ” e.g.,


Matthew 18:20 (NIV) “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

The point being, purpose over prosperity, to produce a pantry for the people of need; mind, body and spirit. Thus, we don’t need a broadway show, we need a broad way of helping others, such that the community of Christ will further come into fruition.

Guess what!? We’ve no secret agenda, I AM MINISTRIES is not about teaching you to fear or memorize bible verses. We are not about playing spiritual dress-up for tithes or asking for your undying servitude for our ministry. Our purpose is not based on your money, but rather the building communities of leaders who follow Christ’s teachings of forgiving, loving thy neighbors and having reverence for God. It is not our intention to hold your hand through the scriptures, but maybe so (if needed) through your struggles. Just know, I AM MINISTRIES will not curtail biblical scripture, to exalt our ministry’s mission over God’s will through your learning and intimate relationship-building in Christ. I AM MINISTRIES is about elevating the kingdom of heaven (Mind, Body & Spirit) such that we can be saved from our sins, grow in kingdom spirit, and rejoice within God’s grace and glory throughout our earthly journey!

Please understand, we’re not here to bible thump, beat down or try to impress you with expert interpretations of the bible, nor are we trying to articulate our version of the bible for our own egotistical purposes. What we’re about is bringing communities together in ministry through special engagements, fun outreach events, and programs for people in need of helping hands. In addition, commune through biblical text, certain inquiries, and thought processes associated with the word of God, per the clarity thereof and purpose. Through outreach programs, people can come together and learn, love and laugh it out as we uphold and help each other through the wiles and or inadequacies of todays societal debacles; Real Talk.

So let’s get Real! To repeat, I AM MINISTRIES is NOT your savior. We are a church ministry per unity in action, who operates through the hands and feet of Christ’s teachings. We, to the best of our abilities in discipleship, makes for the betterment of communities through outreach, as well as the embedment of purposes rediscovered, such to be saved through God’s grace per our repentance and his mercy.

If there is hesitation by the way I AM MINISTRIES presents itself, its because we’re built differently, in that we walk, discern, and commune meticulously (on purpose) by way of prudent spiritual discipleship. No, Pastor Reginald’s appearance and or demeanor may not look like, what most have come to believe what a pastor should look like, but ask yourself, what’s your current image of what pastors should look like? Are they prone to scandal? Are their charismatic ways reflective of eye catching glamour or of God’s grace and mercy? Have they defaulted into lobbyist per certain ideological principalities over being the good shephard? What of their past? Where are they from (really) and or who sent them? Seriously, this is where discernment on your part relies upon YOUR due diligence!

These are serious questions that should be considered, so let’s continue a bit more. Regarding pastors, “Is the fruit of our pastoral labor, based solely upon you given them your worth, time and discipleship (potentially) over your own growth and intimate relationship with God? Again, this is Real Talk. If I or your leader (pastor), grows significantly, so should you in every capacity likened to wealth, health, and in leadership! That’s why I AM MINISTRIES vision is about helping followers become leaders and as leaders, become followers of Christ, NOT followers of pastors! Trust, we have enough weight on our shoulders already just for speaking the word in sound-biblical scripture. We, as in pastors can not save your soul/spirit, we’re merely people upon the anointing and calling of the Holy Spirit to remind, share and exemplify the gospel per leadership by blessed example e.g., to assist within the knowing and articulation of biblical scripture, such that “the kingdom of heaven is known, glorified and within reach.”

Now, before we become holier-than-thou in judgement, we’re talking about OUR eternal salvation! So please understand, these questions are only surface level epiphanies! If you TRULY want to go deeper, with regard to who your pastor is and or why? You need to ask (firstly), who are you? What’s your need? What’s your past? What church did you come from or who sent you? What have you been through in life because I guarantee, you are just as human as your pastor, and what does that look like? Either way, none of us, shephard or sheep can write our own names into the book of life. So again, “followers into leaders, and leaders into followers of Christ,” such is the way. – Pastor Reginald

Again, this is Real Talk! No practiced scripts or typed out sermons, “bible lessons will come after getting to know each other.” Know that I AM MINISTRIES is not here to look down, unjustly speculate or intentionally harm the characters of another’s path along the way. But we do not, nor will we ever conform to the wiles of worldly idolatry – such that we remain strong yet highly favored by God. We “the anointed” must walk, take action, and speak in and of the spirit of righteous demeanor; no matter how uncharacteristic we may come across.

And in all, whilst engaging in fun, spiritually encouraging community-growing activities. In accordance, we maintain the exemplification of true purpose (per the embedment of spirit). Such is our continued mission, which is to live by blessed example, community building, and the actionable workings per kingdom mindset.

“Take the next step into your destined purpose and confirm your greatness! Albeit community service, leadership or ministry through lifestyle and example. It is our mission to exemplify the best versions of our created purposes. What are you waiting for? Consider joining the conversation with I AM MINISTRIES today!” 

RELATIONSHIPS

Relationships at times can be quite daunting but …

What do we know or truly understand about relationships? Aside from intercourse, companionship or the embedment of the childhood fairy tales of yesteryear. Such that we envision the Knight in shining armor, saving the damsel or princess in distress. Not to be outdone by the antics or cute phrases such as “you complete me!” Such was the solidification of a plea deal based in a movie from the late 90’s.

As amusing as the antics are in the time of personal desperation, there’s nothing more serious than living for someone unconditionally, through sickness and health, till death doth part. Yes, dying for someone is an act of valor indeed, but the one death that truly made all the difference and for all time, was done on the cross, such that he rose and conquered death, giving us the way through his acknowledgment and repentance. Moreover, we can only die once. Therefore living for someone and for destined purpose takes on an entirely different role than the antics of fairy tale jest. I AM MINISTRIES looks at relationships from a different, albeit biblical perspective. Thus, encompassing firstly, what the bible depicts relationships to be, starting with encompassing an intimate relationship with God our father in heaven. As pastor Reginald noted “we can go much deeper on the subject of relationships but it requires a unique conversation with self first (in the presence of the Holy Spirit – upon repentance). For example, acknowledging personal barriers or baggage, emotional needs, expectation’s from others, and the realization if one is seeking the wiles of flesh, as a replacement for that intimate connection with Christ. Know that a relationship requires that God be in it somehow and someway. Why? Because everything else (Worldly) is temporary.


Yes, we know the response! Psalm 55:22 (NIV) Indeed the bible does say “cast your cares on the lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.” Only, some interpret the scripture as cast your baggage or unresolved issues, anger, vices, expectations, desires or frustrations upon the lord, and as such he will sustain you. Now, although God can do this for you, it may come at a price most are not willing to pay e.g., time, as in God’s time; especially if one is not willing to put in the work! With regards to engaging in a relationship involving another, God will allow all the pain, clutter and circumstance one has self inflicted, as a learning and breaking down mechanism to bring one back to the spirit over the flesh. It is there in transparency and repentance where casting ones cares becomes clarified thus, allowing for the interceding of the Holy Spirit.”

Again, on an individual basis, this subject requires a community of experienced and scripturally sound advisors of faith, spiritual fruit and communion know-how, not a platformed antidote, a best friend or even that knowledgable kind person, void of there own relationship but just wanting to help. Point is, you don’t seek advice from an experienced plumber, when your car is in desperate need of an alignment, breaks and a tune up that is, prior to going on a family road trip. In this, you’ll need an licensed mechanic.

Therefore, establishing communion within the righteousness of community is key, but for the treasure afterwards, one must accept and experience that intimate relationship first and above all, thus remaining in his presence such that “he will never let the righteous be shaken.”

John 15:4-5 NIV

4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. 5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

MARRIAGE

It’s all Fun and games; in the beginning.

Get connected for a more in-depth conversation about this subject. Also, how applicable spirit-led understandings can change the game into blessed reality, such that two, can become one as a win-win per destined purpose!

COMMUNITY

Are you looking for community?

If not I AM MINISTRIES, KEEP SEARCHING! We are as one regardless. Besides, we’re about to see just how and why COMMUNITY is of the utmost importance! Buckle up friends, and bring your bibles!

“By now you may have noticed I AM MINISTRIES is (truly) built differently. Yes, we’ve made unprecedented strides online and within our ministry outreach programs. Only, sharing the word of God is an action in unity, such to lead by meticulous example. Thus, requires a discipline best not entertained or distracted by egoism, manipulative cunnings and or the wiles of deceit. In this, we understand that not everyone has been called, anointed or championed to do this work. Which is why, we’re built differently, unapologetically and for very specific reasons of spiritual covenant. However, please do not let our focused-diligence prevent you from joining the conversation. Let’s see where communion takes us, even if it’s to point you towards another ministry of God.”

– Pastor Reginald

CAREERS

About that water cooler talk.

Don’t! Nothing’s more misinterpreted than rushed, watered down communicative engagement, jammed with rushed half-witted gesture, embodied by gossip and satire – whilst in thirst of what’s really going on! This is not the intended well of living water Christ spoke about. Thus, not worthy of your cup! Trust, we have a better solution!


“Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” -John 4:13-14 NIV

THE MISSION

The Path Less Traveled requires at minimum, the faith of a mustard seed.

To study, articulate, and lead by blessed example – such that the kingdom of heaven is known, glorified and within reach.

– pastor reginald

Moreover: To lead by blessed example through study, communion and righteous living, best articulated from the biblical teachings of Jesus Christ (Yeshua).

Yeshua is the Hebrew name of Jesus. Iēsous is the (ancient) Greek version of the name of Jesus, and Joshua is translated to Yeshua in the English language. This suggests that if one feels uncomfortable about the specificities of name, the first action to be taken is to enact personal due diligence and seek for oneself, ancestral knowledge, biblical text and peer-reviewed (culturally accurate) historical  background. Such to prevent a pebble of discourse to evolve into a mountain of a barrier which can stand in the way of receiving God’s word. This is the epitome of what I AM MINISTRIES is about, such that we may lead by blessed example and inspire the seeking of truth.

So don’t just take our word on it; research it for yourself, and lets commune on any topic needed for clarification. In this, we’ll open, share and compare how it manifests and relates to our past, present and future christian understanding/development. This is the ministry, reflective of unity in action! Oh and just to add, if your salvation or acceptance of Christ is caught up on the specificities of his name, then by all means learn the language of his name to remove any unnecessary barriers; hint the name Jesus is Hebrew.

WORLD NEWS

Okay, let’s talk about it – no judgment here!


Anxiety & Stress: Please understand, circumstances in life can be tough, but I ask you, do not default under the attrition of your own wisdom, because it is not equal in vision to that of God’s grace. One’s ontology is often the indoctrination of societal calamity, with regard to created distractions per the wiles and negative principalities of the world. In other words; the intent of lack of clarity. May I suggest proverbs 3:5-6 of the NIV bible, as it relates to date, as it did over 2000 years ago. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” In this, trust is better than worry. That’s why I AM MINISTRIES enjoys getting out into our communities and becoming interactive with encouraging activities, team building skills and establishing trustworthy connections, simply put; leading by blessed example!

SOCIAL MEDIA

Not all platforms are created equal; proceed with caution!

Again, get connected for a deep conversation about this subject. Why? Take our word on this one, you’ll want to get connected for communities sake. Hint: If AI is connecting to others on your behalf, and others are allowing AI to do the same (for themselves), who’s really having conversation? Even more so, who’s listening, who’s gathering your most intimate confessions, and finally; what happens when the connection decides to disconnect – from you?
