WHY DO THE TATES DRINK SPARKLING WATER AND WHY YOU SHOULD DO TOO?
(A thread)
i have a theory about God i talk about all the time
He knows He can’t reach everyone through the same methods, so He meets you in a way you can understand
if you’re naturally funny, He puts you in situations that, in hindsight, are so absurd you can’t help but laugh
if you’re analytical, He shows up as patterns. coincidences that line up too cleanly to ignore
if you’re emotional, He reaches you through love and loss. through people who break you open and show you what mattered
if you’re a skeptic, He lives in the questions that won’t leave you alone
God isn’t broadcasting on one frequency and blaming people for not tuning in
He’s speaking the language you already understand
and if you ever stop long enough to listen, you realize He’s been talking to you the entire time
I came across a powerful message today. Bookmark 🔖
God Does Not Operate on Emotions, He Operates on Principles.
Many believers struggle because they try to approach God emotionally instead of principally.
But God is not moved by moods, pressure, or urgency.
He is moved by alignment.
Here are the principles that govern how God works:
1. Truth (The Word)
God is committed to His Word, not our feelings.
Emotions change, but what God has spoken remains settled forever.
When your feelings disagree with the Word, the Word is still right.
2. Faith
God responds to faith, not desperation.
Tears may express pain, but faith expresses trust.
Faith agrees with God before evidence appears.
3. Obedience
God honors obedience, not intention.
Knowing what is right is not the same as doing what is right.
Every instruction carries a blessing attached to it.
4. Seedtime and Harvest
Nothing in God’s system skips process.
What you sow determines what you reap - prayers, actions, discipline, generosity.
Emotions cannot cancel seasons.
5. Authority and Order
God works through structure, not chaos.
Where divine order is respected, divine power flows.
Spiritual passion without submission produces frustration.
6. Purpose
God blesses according to assignment, not comfort.
If it does not serve purpose, it may not be sustained.
Everything God releases is meant to advance destiny.
7. Righteousness and Holiness
Grace empowers obedience; it does not excuse disobedience.
God’s love is unconditional, but His rewards are conditional.
Standards matter in God’s kingdom.
8. Timing
God is never late and never rushed.
Delay is often preparation in disguise.
Emotions demand “now,” wisdom waits for “right.”
9. Covenant
God relates through covenant, not convenience.
Promises are activated when covenant terms are honored.
God is faithful to those who stay aligned.
When you understand God’s principles, you stop begging emotionally and start positioning spiritually.
Alignment attracts results.
Key takeaway:
God does not change His principles to suit our emotions.
He changes our lives when we align with His principles.
If your peace collapses when your income dips, you’ve built your identity on the wrong economy.
If money can move you faster than the Holy Spirit, it’s not provision — it’s competition.
Wealth without wisdom is just noise. Heaven promotes based on stewardship, not numbers.
Disappointment always reveals what we worship. When our hopes are anchored in God Himself, disappointment becomes a place of reverent trust. When our hopes are anchored in outcomes, comfort, or control, disappointment turns into unbelief.
Scripture shows this pattern again and again. When Israel faced hardship in the wilderness, they did not respond with worship. They responded with grumbling. Numbers 14:11 records the Lord saying, How long will this people despise Me, and how long will they not believe in Me. Their disappointment exposed their unbelief. They trusted what God could give, not who God was.
Job shows the opposite. He lost his children, his health, and his security, yet Job 1:20 says he fell to the ground and worshiped. His disappointment did not erase his pain, but it anchored his soul. He could say in Job 13:15, Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. That is not denial. That is worship under pressure.
Unbelief is not always loud rebellion. Often it is quiet resentment. It is the refusal to trust God when He does not meet our expectations. Hebrews 3:12 warns us to take care lest there be in any of us an evil, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. That turning often begins when disappointment is allowed to sit without submission.
Worship does not explain disappointment away. It places disappointment before God and says, You are still good, You are still wise, and You still rule. Habakkuk 3:17 to 18 shows this clearly. Even when everything collapses, the prophet says he will rejoice in the Lord and take joy in the God of his salvation.
If disappointment is not carried into the presence of God, it will harden into unbelief. But when disappointment is met with worship, it becomes a place where faith deepens, trust matures, and God is known not only for what He gives, but for who He is.
When a believer grows tired of hearing about Jesus and His work as Saviour and Redeemer, it is never a small issue. It exposes a heart drifting back toward self righteousness. The people who know their sin the most are the ones who never grow weary of the gospel. The people who forget their sin the quickest are the ones who begin to find the gospel repetitive.
Scripture shows this repeatedly. Israel forgot the Lord and trusted in themselves, and God says they “did not remember His power” in Psalm 78:11. The psalmist confesses, “I forget the Lord and lean on my own understanding,” echoing the reality that our hearts wander unless God holds us fast. Peter warns believers that without constant remembrance they become “blind” and “forget that they were cleansed from their former sins” in 2 Peter 1:9.
This is why we need the gospel every day. We forget it every day. We forget how lost we were. We forget that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” as Romans 3:23 says. We forget what it cost Christ to save us. We forget that “He was wounded for our transgressions” as Isaiah 53:5 declares. We forget our weakness and begin to trust ourselves again, even though Jesus said, “Apart from me you can do nothing” in John 15:5.
Paul told the Corinthians that he delivered to them “as of first importance” the death and resurrection of Christ in 1 Corinthians 15:3 to 4. He warned the Galatians that if they began by the Spirit, they could not now perfect themselves by the flesh in Galatians 3:3. And the writer of Hebrews urges us to “consider Him” daily so we do not grow weary and lose heart in Hebrews 12:3.
A Christian who understands grace never gets tired of hearing about Jesus. The gospel is not the doorway into the Christian life. It is the foundation, the food, the strength, and the anchor of the Christian life. When our hearts cool toward the gospel, it means our hearts have warmed toward ourselves.
The cure is simple and painful and beautiful. Return again to the cross. Remember again the mercy that saved you. Let the Word humble you, expose you, and revive you. A heart that sees Christ clearly will never find Him boring.
A ritual cannot save a soul. A ceremony cannot cleanse a conscience. A wafer cannot carry the weight of human sin. Salvation belongs to the Lord alone. He finished the work Himself, with His own blood, on a hill outside Jerusalem, and He said with full authority, “IT IS FINISHED” John 19:30.
When Jesus lifted the bread on the night before the cross and said, “This is my body” Matthew 26:26, He was not handing His disciples a piece of Himself. He was pointing them to the sacrifice He would offer the next day. The entire scene was rooted in Passover. The bread had always pointed forward to a Redeemer who would give His life. Jesus did not redefine the bread. He fulfilled it. The cross gave meaning to the words, not the ritual.
And after He died and rose again, His apostles never once taught that Christ hides Himself in bread or turns into food. Not once. They preached a finished sacrifice, never to be repeated. Hebrews leaves no room for doubt. “HE OFFERED ONE SACRIFICE FOR SINS FOR ALL TIME, THEN SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD” Hebrews 10:12. Sitting down means the WORK IS DONE. No priest can stand before an altar and try to continue the act that Christ Himself has already completed.
And when Paul spoke about the Lord’s Supper, he did not say we eat Christ. He said we proclaim His death until He comes (1 Corinthians 11:26). It is remembrance, not repetition. It is a table of memory and gratitude, not a table of transformation. It is a celebration of a finished cross, not a continuation of it. The gospel is not bread becoming a body. The gospel is the Son of God giving His body once and for all.
Rituals that promise grace in crumbs are attempts to fill a hunger that only Christ Himself satisfies. Jesus said the words with a clarity that removes all confusion. “Whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst” John 6:35. He did not say, “Whoever eats the wafer.” He said, “Whoever comes to me.” THE INVITATION IS TO HIMSELF, not to a ceremony.
This is where it becomes uncomfortable, because the truth confronts centuries of tradition. The priests of the Roman Church claim to offer Christ again. They hold up the wafer and declare it to be the Lord. They say salvation and forgiveness come through that act (CCC 1366, CCC 1367, CCC 1376, CCC 1405).
But Scripture does not bow to tradition. The veil in the temple was torn. The old system of sacrifice ended the moment Jesus died. There is no more altar. There is no more priesthood that stands between God and man. There is only one Mediator, and Paul names Him with absolute clarity. “There is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” 1 Timothy 2:5.
If Christ alone is the Mediator, then no ritual can take His place. If Christ alone is the sacrifice, then no wafer can carry His presence. If Christ alone opened the way to God, then no ceremony can improve it. And if His blood was shed once for all, then the idea of a re-sacrifice is not just unnecessary. It is an insult to the finality of the cross.
This is why we must speak. Because faith built on ritual collapses at the gate of death. ONLY CHRIST SAVES. ONLY CHRIST CLEANSES. ONLY CHRIST FORGIVES. And those who trust in traditions remain under the weight of their own sin, thinking they hold Christ in their hands while never truly coming to Him.
My Roman Catholic friends, hear this with all the seriousness Scripture demands. You are not saved by wafers. You are not saved by ceremonies. You are not saved by priests or altars. You are saved only by the blood that was shed once for all. Christ is not waiting on your altar. He is seated at the right hand of the Father, and He calls you to Himself. The door is open because the cross is finished. The way is clear because the veil is torn. The invitation stands because the empty tomb guarantees it.
Do not settle for rituals that leave you empty. Come to the Redeemer who fills the soul. Come to the Lamb whose sacrifice needs no repetition. Come to the One who said, “Whoever believes has eternal life” John 6:47.
Christ does not hide in bread. He reigns in glory. And He calls you to Himself.
I’m in a spiritual war for my soul
If you’ve been tracking, the amount of insane things that have happened since I told God I would give my life to Him
I knew it was going to be an uphill battle dealing w/ vice & the flesh alone
But damn, didn’t expect all hell to break loose
If you're tired of self-help lies that tell you to gaslight yourself...
If you want the raw gospel that actually deals with your past instead of denying it...
I wrote this for you:
THE UNCOMFORTABLE CHRIST
https://t.co/yX28fGK3Ln
The tragedy of our age is not ignorance but SELECTIVE BLINDNESS. Humanity does not reject truth because it lacks clarity but because it strikes at the throne of self. The natural man cannot bear a gospel that demands he die to his pride. He wants a Christ who saves but not a Lord who rules. His rebellion is not intellectual but moral. He resists truth not because he cannot understand it but because he will not bow to it.
This is the great disease of the soul of man’s relentless attempt to remain sovereign. From Eden to this very hour, mankind has sought to silence the voice of God so that he may exalt his own. He refuses to be told that he is wrong, that his heart is deceitful, that his righteousness is filthy rags. He would rather craft a god in his image than submit to the God who made him. He does not want to be saved from sin but from guilt, and so he seeks a gospel that soothes his conscience while leaving his pride untouched.
Paul warned of this when he said, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears” (2 Timothy 4:3). That time is not coming, it is here. The pulpits are full, but discernment is empty. Men gather where their idols are flattered, not where their hearts are pierced. They prefer affirmation over repentance, applause over conviction, feelings over faith, and comfort over cross-bearing.
Truth has become offensive not because it changed but because man’s heart did. The light still shines, but men love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil (John 3:19). They want a gospel that approves their sin, a god who never says no, and a salvation that costs them nothing. Their religion is not about worship but self-preservation. It is not holiness they seek but validation. They do not cry, “What must I do to be saved?” but rather, “How can I remain as I am and still feel saved?”
Such pride blinds the eyes and hardens the heart. The gospel does not fail because it is weak; it is rejected because it demands surrender. Christ calls men to deny themselves, but modern faith tells them to discover themselves. The old serpent still whispers, “You shall be as gods,” and man still believes him.

Repost for others!!
I write this to those Romans who mock my birth and question my right to speak of Christ.
You measure men by the land they were born in, but God measures them by the grace that raised them from death. You worship a god limited by geography and heritage, but the God of Scripture calls His people out of darkness into His light. “Out of these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham” (Matthew 3:9).
You call me unworthy because I was born Hindu. I call myself unworthy because I was born a sinner. But the difference is this - Christ made me new. “He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world” (Ephesians 1:4). Before you had a name for your saints, before Rome had a throne, God had already written mine in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
The Lord did not choose Israel because of their blood but because of His mercy. He called Abram out of Ur, a pagan land, Rahab out of Jericho, Ruth out of Moab. He called fishermen from Galilee and a Pharisee from Tarsus. He called me from India. The same grace that saved them saved me. He calls the dead, not the dignified. He redeems the lost, not the loyal. You boast in your religion; I boast in the Redeemer.
You worship a god who depends on men, councils, and sacraments. I worship the God who depends on nothing and calls whom He wills. “It is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy” (Romans 9:16).
And this is where your error is seen. The god you defend is not the God of the Bible. He is a god of empire, power, and pride. The true God humbles men; yours exalts institutions. The true God calls sinners by grace; yours calls them by birth right. The true God saves through His Word; yours enslaves through decrees. The god you defend does not resemble the Christ who called fishermen and tax collectors. It resembles Rome that conquered nations.
Mock me for my origin if you will, but in doing so you reveal whom you worship. The God of Scripture does not despise the pagan He redeems. He uses him to shame the proud. And that is exactly what He is doing right now.
The only 5 steps you'll ever need to manifest anything you want‼️‼️
THE CURRENCY OF METABOLIC HEALTH IS MUSCLE.
There’s a man I know, he's in his mid-40s, quiet, disciplined, never missed work a day in his life.
He had built a house, raised three kids, and spent his youth chasing money like most men do.
But one morning, he collapsed while tying his shoes.
His sugar had spiked.
His blood pressure crashed.
At the hospital, the doctor said: “Your muscles are gone.”
Not gone as in vanished. Gone as in unused. Wasted. Shrunken.
The body that once carried cement bags could barely carry its own weight.
That’s when it hit me, the real poverty is not in your bank account.
It’s in your muscle mass.
If you have some spare time, accumulate muscles.
That’s the real currency of metabolic health.
Because every gram of muscle is a soldier against disease.
Muscle doesn’t just look good.
It burns sugar.
It protects your heart.
It keeps you steady when you’re old, and it keeps your blood moving like traffic with sense.
Let me tell you the truth they don’t print on gym flyers —
Muscle is not built for vanity.
It’s built for survival.
When you fast, muscle makes your body efficient.
When you eat right, muscle stores your glucose safely.
When infection hits, your body borrows amino acids from muscle to fight.
When stress comes, muscle keeps your metabolism alive.
That’s why weak men fall sick faster.
That’s why frail women age before their time.
That’s why people who “don’t eat much” but “still have big belly” never heal because they lost the tissue that burns the energy.
You can’t supplement your way into strength.
You can’t medicate your way into resilience.
You earn it — one squat, one walk, one disciplined meal at a time.
When I see people jogging with headphones, or women lifting dumbbells while gossiping, I smile.
Because that’s a savings account.
That’s compound interest.
That’s a future where you don’t need drugs to stand up from a chair.
The goal is not abs.
The goal is insurance against fatigue, against diabetes, against premature death.
The body doesn’t lie.
If it’s soft, it’s underpaid.
If it’s strong, it’s wealthy.
So if you have some spare time, stop scrolling.
Accumulate muscles.
That’s the only currency that pays dividends when your metabolism starts collecting debt.
Don’t forget to reach out for a diet plan. Share and tag your friends.
🚨‼️You want to see a demon? Try opening your Bible instead of Netflix. This generation wants to ghost-hunt, binge horror flicks, and call it entertainment���then panic when their house feels heavy and their dreams turn dark. You don’t need a Ouija board to invite something in. All you need is rebellion, pride, and open doors of sin. The devil doesn’t knock—he slithers.
Meanwhile, angels aren’t some fat babies with wings fluttering on clouds. They’re warriors. Soldiers of light. Assigned to believers who fear God, not just talk about Him. They move in response to prayer, not Instagram likes. You want angelic protection? Then walk in the fear of the Lord. Psalm 34:7 wasn’t written for lukewarm posers.
The spiritual world is more real than your social feed. And while you scroll, battle lines are being drawn. Wake up. Hell is organized. Heaven is armed. And you, Christian, are either armored or exposed.
Drinking 8 glasses of water daily is a scam.
