Good Father!

Keep your eyes centered on Christ as you go today. Enter to receive that in which you seek from the Father.. Don't allow anyone to steal your peace, joy and strength. HE is truly a good, good Father to is an for that Lord, we give you ALL the praise!

Too Short!

Life is too short to go about trying to live your life based on the dreams and fantasy lifestyle of others. Let your desire be to rise early each day seeking to do His will and feel His presence.
Proverbs 8:17

Choose!

Choose a side and stand on it! Such a call to serve this present age. Silent in the work of the trenches, but vocal ready to reap the reward are those who straddle. So glad that God endows us with patience, humility and a servants heart,definitely not my will Lord but yours.

Just For Me!

Jesus Christ was beaten, crucified, burried all on our behalf. Inspite of our sins He continued to love us enough to take our place. Endured much for each of us, but more importantly He rose with All power to forever empower us. Let us remember that we could never repay Him, but we can always reverence Him for what He did for us.
#Justforme!

Gift of Grace!

Grace is a gift to be offered to others,  just as you received it from Christ. Yes it's your life to live, but with every assignment there is accountability do what God has purposed you for. Just because your hands are in many pots don't mean that your cooking. It just mean that your busy. Growth starts from within, not just with numbers. You are what you surround yourself with, everybody may not like it or you. When you pursue God those that chase attention will always have something to say.

On your own!

The best way to govern your steps is to walk in the boldness of what you believe. Taking a stand for Christ will so often have you standing on your own. Take confidence in knowing that as you stand up for Christ that He is standing right with you. Others want you to buy into their vision, but are not willing to support yours. Remember that Jesus was ostracized amongst His own and so will we. Just stand firm on God's promises of His purpose for your life.

Support the cause!

Looking forward to the day when it's just good to support a great cause. We can't say that we're people of faith, but are personality driven and not purpose driven. If I did for others based on how they treated me, many will go lacking. I've learned how to go hard and 8n for every God given assignment because He has birthed some9ne specific for me to encounter. Some of you are already starting your year like you end, but expect different results. Every good and perfect thing starts and ends with the act of love through Jesus Christ.

New Victories!

The greatest victories don't always come from the echoes of the sound of your voice. They come out of our time spent with the Lord from the belly of your silence. Born to give God glory. Blessed to be a blessing and favored to walk boldly in our God given assignment.

New Year, New Day!

It's a new day with new, possibilities and new opportunities. New year brings about change, an inward look at ourselves. As you begin this year look to focus on being a better you for yourself first. Seek God for direction and  instruction as you set your goals and priorities for the coming year. Let us not go to Him with a list of things you want Him to do but ask yourself what can I give of myself. With the excitement of blessings to come from The Lord comes the responsibility to be faithful and obedient to His WORD. 

Salvation- Everyone must see their need for them selves
Romans 8:38-40 38 
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ephesians 2:8,9 
 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast."
Mark 10:25-27
" It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.  And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible."

Purge- Rid yourself of those things that come between you and The Lord.
2 Peter 1:9
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
Psalm 79:9
Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.
Malachi 3:3
And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

Repentance- Stop spinning in circles, choose to go another direction.
2 Chronicles 7:14 
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
1 John 1:9 
 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Acts 3:19 
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

Forgiveness- forgive others so that you can move forward then forgive yourself that you may be be ompletely healed.
Psalm 51:17 
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
Psalm 86:4-5 
Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.
Psalm 103:8-12 
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

Love-Genuine love can not be manufactured, show others the same Godly affection you want to receive. 
John 3:16  
“For God so loved the world,that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Romans 5:8 
but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 8:37-39  
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Faith- Even when you don't feel like things are working or progressing, let your faith abide even the more.
Acts 6:5 
And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch.
Acts 11:22-24 
The report of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. When he came and saw the grace of God, he was glad, and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose, for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord.
1 Corinthians 13:2 
And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

Worship- We were created to give God not audible praise, but audible worship. Give Him glory in all things.
Psalms 95:6 
Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!
Psalms 99:5 
Exalt the LORD our God; worship at his footstool! Holy is he!
John 4:21-24 
Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

The Approach

Learn to approach people the way you want to  be approached. When you're always trying to create issues, you will be the one with an issue. Start the new year focusing on being a better you, if for no one else but you. Today is the end of the road for enabling folks who don't want to give anything, but receive everything.

Let discernment lead!

Let's just say, the look on their face when they think they're talking about you with subliminal messages when you keep ignoring them. Most times they fail to see that they will need you sooner than you need them. Never follow your eyes where discernment don't take you.

Bus Stops!

Setting goals for yourself gives you the peace to walk away from the train wreck seats you've been riding in. Sometimes you cause yourself to be frustrated, devaustated and stagnant by driving your own bus to the same stops.

Positively Me!

Amazing how folks want you to support their ideas, events and endeavors, but won't do the same for others. When others dont support God's vision through you, know that He has strengthen you for the journey. You may not finish as they want, but if you stand firm you will finish strong with prayer.

Another Thankful Day!

There are so many people and things that I'm very grateful for. My children, my lil yummy, my parents, my family and real friends those that have impacted my life, those that I've imparted into, those that have challenged me and those that inspire and motivate me to keep pressing forward. Most of all I'm grateful for that which has been given to me freely- His grace, His mercy and His SON!

Dreams!

Don't allow the doubts of others to dampen your dreams. Hold fast to the hope you have in Christ. Sometimes it seems as if the storms will never end, but God has promised you that it will. Trust in what He put in you and not what's placed in front of you.#PositivelyMe!

Seek or Settle!

Many people desire a mate that possess qualities and attributes that have far greater inner value, but too often they seek or settle for those that display what most put value in of external worth. Never taking time to truly get to know a person for who they are, not for what they show you in 72 hours. Why is it so hard to treasure that of nobleness than that of notoriety?

Our Reward!

Our greatest work shall be rewarded in heaven. Be encouraged that what God has given you to fulfill will accomplish it's very goal. Many folks wont appreciate your presence, but they will in your absence. When others don't see your worth or appreciate your value. Take confidence that only what we do for Christ is will last. Don't look for man's validation, but seek God's approval.

False Words

Let us not be moved by false words or vain intentions. It never cease to amaze me the lengths others will go through to make a name for themselves. Communication is so important anything less is just manipulation for their own good.

Let them!

Folks will always whisper about you to someone else, but they won't approach you with the same conversation. Just like they talked about Jesus, let them as you continue to be whom God has made you. While you're the topic of the sister circle, their issues still continue. It's easy to talk about others and not do any thing about what's brewing in your own yard

Faithfulness!

God says "Can you be faithful as a Christian if I tell you not to tell anyone that you are?" That is something to really think about. So many people want to be associated with what they can go around and say that they belong too. What about just living as God has commanded us to and truly "Let the life you lead speak for you". 

Micro managing!

Things would be different if they realized the monster that they create by giving in to the stuff the should stay away from. Most things that you're micro managing should be release to its rightful owner. A battery can never  reach it's full potential until it's put use.

Godly mechanism!

Your love can't ignite the drive in others, but it can be the mechanism to self motivate yourself to be the best you can be for the right person. God loves us for who we are, but it's His love that makes us better that what we are.

Pressing In!

There comes a time when you get so desperate for God's hand that you close yourself off to those distractions that keep you from pressing in to his presence just to draw closer to Him.. The fervent and righteous renderings unto the Lord cause him to respond to us.  Decide that your desire to be obedient to God is more important than anything. He causes you to move from the place of comfort to challenge you to stand boldly on your faith. Praise will get His attention, but worship causes Him to act on your behalf.

Strength and Obedience

When you're not confident in the strength of your own legs and voice. You'll always look for someone else to rescue and speak for you. Until you seek after God's heart for direction and instruction. You will continue to run in circles trying to please others and not God. He doesn't expect us to be perfect, but He does require us to be obedient.

Relationships

A great relationship is rooted in God, formed through trust, planted along with faith and water in love for whom a person really is and not for who they are not. Love covers all, but lies bury you underneath it. At the end of the day the greatest union comes from like minded and equally yoked individuals. Those that truly believe that "He that finds a wife finds a good thing". Don't chase, wait til God sends him to you.

He Still Can!!

When it feels like nothing is good enough or the more you do, the more they take. The more you try, the farther you get. No amount of good things you do genuinely, it's always misunderdtood. Being obedient to the good works He's given you to do, you still feel like you drowning under the flood gates of oppression. There is always someone scrutinizing what you do, bad mouthing your name, your gifts and your character while you're doing it and they don't even have to know you. Just making judgments based on someone else's opinion. Making assumptions based on what they hear and not what they see. Sometimes you're always in a fight that doesn't even seem fair. What often seems like total punishment is God's way of preparing you for something greater. The problem is were human and we don't always see ourselves as God does. Its often so dark that we don't see the light of hope nowhere in sight to endure. Feeling like every battle is slowly winning. Trusting God means not only believing that He can stop the storm, but understanding that journey of the storm is His will. Try not to lose faith in Him because you don't see a change in your circumstances.

Just Worship!

There's nothing greater than your intimate time in worship with the Lord. ALL I can say is God will do just what He said He will do. He's gonna fulfill EVERY promise to you. Don't give up on God because He won't give up on you". When tears streaming down, when the light of day is getting dim, as your strength seems to fail. God's love for us reminds us that there is nobody greater and that He is able!
#Hallelujah!

Success!

Success is not predicated on your ability to give directives, but you ability to lead by example. Don't assume thst your great because of the quantity of folk following you, but by the quality of folk alongside you. You can think that you're hurting others thru isolation and ignoring them, but you dig your own pit that way. In the end, if you don't adhere to God's will you'll spiral to your own downfall. Release your issues to God and really go forward.

Your season is now!

It's your season of grace and favour to reap what you've sown. Such a powerful verse, many want God's grace and blessings, but put no thought into the seeds that they sow. Don't allow seeds of hatred, manipulation, unforgiceness, bitterness, intimidation be the ones that you sow. Apply God's word to your life, love like Christ and walk in His likeness and reap the rewards of blessings.

Seeing Heaven past the whispers!

It never cease to amaze us when immature people try to whisper about you behind your back then want to greet your in genuine salutations. If you thought that your actions would cause us to stoop to your level, stop thinking because it wont. Don't think this sickness is unto death because It's not over. That in which God has placed in us is still thriving, working and ministering while you leaning in whispering.

I Still Believe!

The greatest test is not finding your strength to overcome the trials and challenges you face. God is watching to see your strength when you recognize that the test is to to endure them. Just because he can heal, doesn't mean that it's his plan for us....Can you still believe, I do!

Fill us!

One of the worse feelings in the world is to know that God has called you to something that is gonna cause you great opposition and persecution. When we give of ourselves to others knowing that they won't give you the same. Yes we know that we're not perfect, but are made Perfected by Christ. Everyone desires one common thing and that is to feel loved, not artificial or surface but real heartfelt love. To know that someone cares snd that d one one has them on their mind. That is who Jesus Christ is to us the one the fills and completes us.

Team players

Sometimes you have to ask yourself, is it really me and not others. No matter how much you try to maintain peaceful ground the road seems rocky.  The more you try to help, it turns out the opposite. When you think that you're making right decisions, it still seems to be the wrong one. It puts your mind on overload with just trying to live and be there for others. Most times it becomes a bout them and you lose your sense of being in it. Stay true to whom God has made you and what he has given you to do for your own peace of mind. Everything doesn't have to be a battle, when you're suppose to be on the same team

Silent Cries!

God can supercede your memories, your dreams and your expectatiins. Just know that He hears your silent cries, every tear and your very hearts desire. Sometimes the first thing is not always the right thing. Just like the most convienient things are not Christ's things for you.

End of day!

At the end of the day, everyone wants the same thing. To feel like you're appreciated for who you are. To know that what you give of yourself is really worth it to those that are receiving. Finally, to be loved unconditionally, just as hard as we love others. To be first to others like they want to be you.

Greatest Decision!

One of the greatest decisions you can make for your future begins with loving yourself first.

His Love

Love embraces, encourages and empowers us in every aspect of our lives. Unconditional and neverending sense of feeling appreciated, but it starts with you. How do you feel about yourself? Do you live yourself first? Everything that God did for us was because of His love for us. For God so loved the world says it all. We are apart of Him. He did it for those of us who are considered a whosoever. We are loved because He first loved us.

You Are!!

What an awesome time of consecration it's been. A time to get focused, direction and instruction from God for all that He is going to do in this year. Make the effort to trust in His word, believe in His promises and cast all your cares at His feet. There is so much in ypu that God is getting ready to use to take you to the next level. Know that you are special, valued, worthy and great because there is soooooo much in you that God wants to get out of you. Continue to rely on His authority and love because You Are:

Thank You Cards!

Sending out THANK YOU cards to all the Haters, Nay sayers, Doubters, Manipulators, Frienemies, Fakers, Tricksters, Confusors, Disrepectors and Shysters that thought their work to destroy, distract and delay me from my purpose and God’s plan for my life would win. Thank You for pushing me down so that God could raise me up. Thank you for your plots so God could use you to get me out. Thank You for making even easier to continue to serve God with gladness. For being the pressure to make me like pure gold, thrusted in the fire by the enemy to come out on top, refined and shining like never before. Thank You for showing your hand so that God’s hand can be seen in my actions, words and most importantly my LIFESTYLE. Thank you for plotting against me that I may dig deeper into CHRIST as I not only held onto to HIM, but assuredly He was holding on to me. Today is a celebration as I remember my Birth in HIM for I was born to die to die again to FLESH that I may live in God’s WILL. I can hold my head high for I have walked in His power, given Him praise as I journeyed through the process, He’s protected my every move and now He’s given me the provision. Now I say “THANK YOU” for making every obstacle and tribulation you threw, set up and planned my stepping stone to fulfilling my purpose in route to destiny.

Walking In Wholeness!!!

God declares that some things will only come through fasting and praying. Yet there are those things that God will give us just because we ask of Him. There are also the things we may ask and he may delay or just say no my child. More importantly there are those times when He just pours out the blessings of Abraham onto us. People so often get lost in the struggle of the storm instead of the lessons in them. I trust God immensely in my life because I know where I'd be without Him. My belief in His power and His ability to do what He desires is no question. With that said God allows, causes and speaks things to be in our lives. When I evaluate where I am it's because of where I was. Knowing that God can heal is one thing, but can you continue to serve Him if He chooses not to stop or clear the storm. I recognize that God is hearing my prayers because of my love for Him and His love for me.  However that doesn't change His plan or purpose. I'm confident through the peace and comfort God gives me to walk this thing out. After questioning the storms in my life. l asked Him why I've endured great sorrows and challenges in my life. It wasn't until He said because He new I could truly walk through it with strength and integrity, but also because it was His purpose and intentional plan for my life.  Can you continue to whether the storm knowing that it may cease and the result remain the same. Understand that even though He can heal all things, it may be your life's purpose to walk out not being healed in an area, but still walk in wholeness.

Be Better, not bitter!!!

It's been said and proven that what goes around comes around. Let that in which you sow be a true representation of who you are because you will see it again. I just love me some Jehovah God. Ultimately becsuse He loves me the best. When you stand faithfully on God's Word He will allow you front row seat. Not just in time of adversity, but acceleration as He makes your enemies, frienemies and the fooled your footstool. Why, because you chose to be better in the battle they sought to destroy you in and not bitter. 

Real Worship!!

Something about spending time at home in my own intimate place of worship. Noone can love you, comfort you and strengthen with peace like God can. Know that even when folks walk away from you that you still have value and are worth the best God has for you!

New Determination!

You are Anointed: Declare that the power of God Almighty rests up you even in this season to spread the good news that others may be saved, delivered and healed. Isaiah 61:1

Embracing the new year!

No matter what you do some people will never be satisfied, others will always be judgmental and some will always criticize. Yet they will never step up to offer assistance, help to come up with a better solution or put their hands, time or abilities to use. Regardless to the positive impact enough is never enough. Go into the new year ready to embrace new endeavors for the kingdom.

Out of Order!

One thing that I've come to realize is that church folk are the most out of order folk. Not because they do not know proper etiquette and order. The fact is that they know it, but they often choose to operate in their own order. So often want everyone else to follow protocol as they break and manipulate it. Learn to give others the same respect you want to receive and not come across as a spiritual bully to others. Titles and positions doesn't get you the right to disrespect others because you think that you grown. Grown comes with age, but maturity comes with wisdom. People wonder why some won't come to the house of worship. It's because they run into folks like this that believe they speak for all as you convient forget the things you say to others in private. Believing that everything that you do is correct when it's not. Time is winding down so get a clue.

R.E.S.P.E.C.T

People so often want to believe that because youre grown that they have the right to do as they please. So they walk around with bad dispositions, bad habits wanting good rewards. Coming to the conclusion that others owe you something.Life is about reciprocation, what you wish to receive is what you should be giving. Many people are being ran away from church by those that are suppose to be mature and wise in the Word. Instead of trying to check someone, let's take a look in the mirror.

Glory After This!

With pain comes suffering, but through suffering comes restoration, support, strength and a strong foundation.
~There will be glory after this!

Season Greetings!

This time of year most people are so consumed by spending money they don't have to impress people that really don't care for them the same. While others are over zealous about giving gifts and spending time with loved ones near and far. Yet those that don't have family, have suffered a lost or experienced a great tragedy are left to reminisce over those same memories. Can you beyond the smiles and laughter to recognize them. Lord today I send a special prayer for those that need your comfort, peace and love just to make it through this season. Don't allow them to be so consumed by pain and heartache because of loneliness in JESUS name AMEN!

Start Now!

Don't wait for the new year to arrive. Start declaring better right now. The only way to move into the next season of your life is to cut off those dead relationships, friendships and kinships that you keep allowing to move you away from God. Some of your are faking like Christians, but you keep asking God why you. He keeps trying to tell you living for me is not like putting on your clothing. Discipleship is a lifestyle not an outfit. Many of you put more into how well you dress like a saint than really being one. That's why your family, friends and co workers are so confused. One minute you shouting praises to God then the next you walking around cussing folk out and not speaking. The same hole you're trying to throw someone else in. It's really the same one you're digging for yourself. Try being the real you for once. Go into the new year seeking God and not trying to please people. Let the life you're living truly speak for who you really are.

Looking Ahead!

Story tells of a woman married for 20 years who now is beginning anew as a single woman. Facing the Life altering choice to start over. Deceive by a man that vowed to love her til death they do depart. Called by God to spread the good news yet living the opposite just as he chooses. Thinking that his hidden lufe was not seen even in God's blindspot. Instead a web of lies and deception over the course of a few years that involve betrayal from family that helped him continue this fausade to maintain multiple relationships with other women. Now your choices have sprung seeds that now must be accounted for. Yet  because she loves him and God she continue to forgive him. People always want to say what they would do, but until your steps walk in those same shoes you don't know. One thing that was so profound is how God allowed her to forgive and walk as an example of Proverbs 31 Woman. That's the difference between little girls and a grown woman. When a person chooses to continue to live in ungodly behaviors and habits with no remorse of how their actions affect others they do so willingly. Its easy to parade around the country and city side trying to impress a side chick because they dont require much. Yet a real man will live for God with integrity at all times and know he has to depend on God with every temptation. Men that operate outside of God in these type relationships need to understand they're not hurting their spouse as much as they are hurting themselves. God will strengthen you to endure the very things that you think you cant, give you peace as you go through it and help you to live out your God given purpose as you give him glory. When He is ready he will move you from that situatiin, but how you handle it until he does is our responsibility. People may never understand how and why you do what you do or endured what you did. Nor do they even care becauuse some are just nosey and want something to talk about. Let me just clear it up for you because contrary to what they may say have happened she loved him and she loves God. So just because he did her wrong it doesnt remove her love for him. Yet its sad how family members will help there own mistreat, lie and deceive their spouse/mate, but if the tables were turned it would be different.  Generational curses like infideluty can be broken, but only when thru acknowledgment, prayer and calling it what it is. God doesnt want anyone to live lesser than they should. One thing about someone who is an habitual adulteror that is an issue with them, not their spouse that they must work on.  No amount of love can change a persons bad behaviors and habits. Forgiveness has allowed her to trust to do her part to mend their relationship, but it takes two. When that trust is repeatedly broken you have to love yourself more and love them from a distance.  God created her as a helpmeet and not a doormat to watch her husband continue walking through the same revolving door. As she closes out this year and look to the future she does so the same way she entered this storm as she makes her exit with her trust in God and her hand in God's hand.
