Open your eyes 👀.

Bonjour dear warriors, 

Welcome to OPERATION PUSH,   DAY 15. 

"And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight."

One of my childrens favorite games is hide-and-go-seek. I’m sure you all played it too—or at least some variation of it sometime ago. The game involves closing your eyes and counting to a certain number while your friends run and hide. Once you finish counting, you are supposed to shout, “Ready or not, here I come!” and start looking. If your friends are really, really good, they can hide from you in plain sight! But when they crawl out from under the couch or slip out of a closet to dash toward base, your eyes are opened—and you know exactly where they are. 

Well, that’s a little like what the disciples experienced when Jesus opened their eyes to see Him for who He really was according to Luke 24. Prior to this experience, the disciples had a limited perspective. They saw Him as the Teacher, the Prophet, and the Rabbi—but not as the Son of God. In essence, Christ was hidden from them in plain sight! But after their eyes were opened, they were illuminated to the truth of His heavenly identity. Shortly after this experience, Jesus vanished out of their sight (natural sight that is!), but the revelation of who He was remained. Now the disciples could see Him even more clearly in His absence than when He was physically present. They knew exactly who and where He was. 

The word “opened” here means “to open one’s soul", that is: "to arouse understanding.” In that moment, the disciples received supernatural understanding. Many of us need a similar revelation of who Jesus really is. This spiritual sight must go beyond our religious experiences to a deeper and more profound revelation. God desires to open our eyes in the spiritual realm so that we will be able to understand and comprehend the will and purpose of God for our lives. Paul prayed in Ephesians 1:18, “The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.” What would happen if our loved ones received a revelation of the risen Christ, that He alone can forgive our sins and bring eternal life? 

Now let's pray the Power Prayer... 

Father, in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, I thank You for who You are and all that You have done in my life. Thank You for opening my spiritual eyes to see the reality of Jesus in my life. I ask that my loved ones are illuminated by Your truth and transformed by the power of Your love. I declare that I walk in supernatural understanding and enlightenment in every area of my life. All spiritual blindness, darkness, and confusion must leave my life right now in Jesus’ name! Your Word is a “lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” (Psalm 119:105); therefore, I declare that the Word of God enlightens my decisions, my thinking, my family, and my finances. Every area in my life is blessed because of the light of Your Word shining in and through it. My future and destiny are brighter because of Your truth. I declare that I will no longer yield to deception, falsehood, or wickedness in any area of my life. Jesus, I declare that You are the Lord of my life. I long to follow You and be Your disciple. I declare that, from this day forward, I will see You in the way the Word of God reveals You. My mind is opened and my soul is aroused to the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Amen!

Skinny Jeans You Never Want To Put Your Butt In

Dear IMB Reader,   No matter how skinny you actually are, there’s no way you should ever be caught dead in these disastrous denim DON’TS. Seriously, just don’t. I’d rather prefer you go pantless; that’s how bad these are. 1. These jeans sure do bring a whole new meaning to the whole, “eyes in the back of my head…oops, I mean butt!” saying. WINKERS JEANS  2. I love a good denim DIY as much as the next girl. Creating cutout slits for your butt cheeks though…defs not a tutorial I want to read! EXPOSED BUTT JEANS 3. Is it a string bikini bottom? A thong? A pair of jeans? Ohhhh wait…it’s a combination of all three! HOT.

Public Masturbation Has Been Declared Legal In Sweden

On June 6, 2013 a 65-year-old man took off his shorts at a beach near Stockholm and began masturbating into the ocean. According to Swedish newsite, The Local ; the man was charged with sexual assault, but was acquitted last week after a judge ruled that he was not targeting a specific person. The prosecutor even implied that it was “okay” to play with yourself in public! Public Prosecutor,   Olof Vrethammar said: “For this to be a criminal offence it’s required that the sexual molestation was directed towards one or more people. I think the court’s judgement is reasonable. With that we can conclude that it is okay to masturbate on the beach.” Vrethammar however agreed that in the future, public masturbation might be considered disorderly conduct. The ruling in this case comes just three months after Sweden’s last major sex scandal. Okay, I just had to chip this one in… The Swedish police in Stockholm also announced that same June, 2013 that a man who RAPES

PHOTOS: Historical Judgment Babies #SupremeCourtVerdict

                    Thursday August 29, 2013, shall forever remain a historic day in the lives of Ghanaians. But like any ordinary day, it certainly marks the last day on earth for some people and the first for others. Coincidently the number “29” seems to have some uncanny importance as the major persons involved  in the 2012 Election petition,  John Dramani Mahama and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, were both born on the 29 th- John was on the 29 th November and Nana 29 th March. Though President John Mahama has not yet celebrated his birthday this year, some of his fans expressed the belief that this is a memorable day for him and the party. Consequently, out of sheer curiosity, The General Telegraph visited some health facilities in Accra just to find out the number of babies born on this historic day with the auspicious hope that they might all turn into great personalities someday. As of 2: 00 pm on Thursday, the Osu Maternity Home, La General Hospital , Police
