STOP RUNNING

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. -Jeremiah 29:11

The very hope and purpose you've been waiting for is chasing you but you won't stand still long enough for it to catch you. It's time to stop running ahead and chasing things by your own means. Stand still and let God guide you and you'll find He's already made provision BUT you need Jesus first...the way, the truth and the light.

Surviving the Winters of Life

When the winters of life slow you down or trap you in don't just twiddle your thumbs. Be still and listen for directions for your next move.

Have a wonderfully blessed weekend!

Be encouraged and believe by faith

The Game of Life

For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. -Psalm 84:10

In the game of life don't let the opposing teams flashy warm-up suits entice you or rowdy cheerleaders and fans distract you. The recruiter who drafted you in has not forgotten about you sitting on the bench, don't be deceived it's not better on the other side of the court.

Under New Management

Be careful people are watching you that profess the way. Where are you leading them?

Regardless of how they act ultimately they want to know Jesus as head of their life but they're tracking you by GPS, witnessing every missed turn of your tongue, u-turn of your walk, pit stop of your actions, & detour you make as you deviate from your printed/visible professed itinerary.

Your life speaks more than your mouth no matter how much you talk.

Examine the talk your life speaks and seek the Lord for that you might receive maintenance in any area that's missed aligned.

It is our prayer that as you receive alignment and get on the straight and narrow path that those tracking you will notice your movement and fall inline asking what must I do be saved, knowing that the ship is moving and they don't want to stay stuck just watching from the sidelines.

Be encouraged and have a wonderfully blessed weekend. Believe by faith everything the Lord has promised you. YOU ARE the head and NOT the tail.

STOP, LOOK, AND LISTEN!

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. -Hebrews 12:1

STOP, LOOK, AND LISTEN! The race is not given to the swift nor the strong. There some things He wants to release to you but you're too busy moving at your own pace, looking at your own resources, and listening to self reasoning of YOUR next move. It's time to slow your roll, make a complete stop, look beyond yourself to see the spiritual traffic pattern, and listen to the Ultimate GPS Navigator on which route to take.

Forget About Yourself

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. -Psalm 118:24

Time belongs to God! Don't get caught up in the number of days, weeks, months, or years of a thing. I'm about to walk into the manifestation of a 1 year vision that's been 11 years in the making. Stay faithful and focused, favor is coming!

Seriously this is the day that the Lord has made let us REJOICE and be GLAD in it. People are cursing the ice, mad because they had to go to work, upset because the school closings and delays don't suit their schedule. While countless others are huddled together trying to keep warm, scrounging around for change to make it through the day, morning loved ones who did not take their next breath and the list goes on. Get it together...NO MATTER WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, REJOICE and be GLAD in it. This is the day that the Lord has made!

Confronting Fear

Fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing. -Psalm 34:9

If some things aren't exposed to us, we'll never see. Fears unexposed and overcome are dreams and visions unfulfilled.

It's time to look your fears in the eye and tell them you're going to follow your dreams.

There's nothing in this world to fear but the Lord and those who fear him lack nothing. So it's time to overcome your natural fears and be released into victory in Christ Jesus!

Have a wonderfully blessed weekend. Travel safely. Spend some time assessing your fears and committing them to the Lord who will help you overcome!

MOVE SELF OUT OF THE WAY

May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. -Ephesians 3:19-20 (NLT)

Too often His love for us is measured by what He does. Just because He doesn't move the way and when you THINK He should doesn't mean He doesn't love or has forgotten about you. Some answers you're looking for He has already given but your ears are cluttered, your mind is boggled, and your vision is distorted. Instead of seeking Him for blessings of stuff be repentive and sincerely seek Him for deliverance of you from you. Once self is out of the way the blessings will follow.

Healed By Faith

Jesus Is The Key

Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king. -Daniel 2:2

The daily horoscope cannot interpret your dreams and tell you who you are or help you find your way. You are made up of body, soul, and spirit. You can't look through only the eyes of your body to reveal the other parts. Read Daniel chapter 2 and you'll see that the only way to reveal your dreams [not just the ones you dream at night, but your purpose] is through your Heavenly Father and Creator. Ask Him to remove the scales from your eyes that you might clearly see your way.

HOLD YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLE

Consider the postage stamp. It secures success through its ability to stick to one thing till it gets there. -Josh Billings-.

Make a plan and stick to it one day, one month at a time. You will get there, but one sure way of losing is by not fighting in the first place.

Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counselors they are established. -Proverbs 15:22

Seek the ultimate counselor, our heavenly father and trust the plan He gives you.

Travel safely over the weekend and be encouraged!

Live in the present moment, the next one is not promised

Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized, -Acts 9:18

The reality is...you put nothing in, you get nothing out.

You can wallow in self pity on your seat of do nothing or you can embrace life as you look to Jesus and live the life that you've been given.

Life is given to us one moment at a time, live in the moment for the next one is not promised.

It's 2011 and it's time to move beyond distorted views of life and get in the know and the see.
Look beyond your own means and see all that you have to be grateful for that God has already done. You are the head not the tail which means better is coming, but you've got to appreciate and see somethings first.

It's Time to turn to the Interior Designer

As Jesus was speaking, one of the Pharisees invited him home for a meal. So he went in and took his place at the table. His host was amazed to see that he sat down to eat without first performing the hand-washing ceremony required by Jewish custom. Then the Lord said to him, “You Pharisees are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy—full of greed and wickedness! Fools! Didn’t God make the inside as well as the outside? So clean the inside by giving gifts to the poor, and you will be clean all over. “What sorrow awaits you Pharisees! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore justice and the love of God. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things. -Luke 11:37-42 (NLT)

People can look through the windows of your flesh and see your spirit. Your house is dark if your electric has been cut off and your voice is silenced if your phone has been disconnected. Don't be so fixated on your exterior that you fail to consult the Interior designer. You're fixing the one but you're leaving the other undone.

It's time to turn to the interior designer. He's able to clean us from the inside that will shine brightly on the outside.

Do You Believe Him

God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? -Numbers 23:19

The question is not whether He will do it.

It's do you believe Him?

We believe lies that man tells all the time, yet we don't believe God.

God has already shown you the end, it's up to you to trust Him while you're in the middle.

What are you hearing from God today?

Do you believe Him?

Out with the Old, in with the New

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. -Philippians 3:13-14

It's a new season, it's a new day, it's a new year. A fresh anointing is upon us. It's time to resolve to evolve. No new year's resolutions that are full of words but no commitment. It's time to press in and be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
