Jesus is Life...the rest is just details....

Just like my son, I can remember when I was in sports, that was all that matter to me, I used to have a shirt that read Track and Field is Life, the rest is just the details, well for my son it would be basketball...Either way the same can be said for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ is Life, the bible says that he is the way and the truth and the life (John 14:6). No one comes to the Father except through him....so why is it you are focusing on anything but him, the rest is just the details....

Keeping the carpets cleaned...

Sometimes we tend to let things into our spirit that tend to get it dirty, and soiled such as doubt, selfishness, unbelief, discourse. When that happens, we have to treat our spirit man like the carpets of our house. When it gets soiled, it time for a shampoo and cleaning, or renewing of the mind....you ask how do you accomplish this, Philippians 4:8-9, Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies. So if your carpet is dirty, give it a shampoo with the Word of God....

Invest in your success with a relationship with the Father...

Do you consider yourself successful? People going on for years going after material possessions, and what they consider as success, only to be empty in the end because they never invested in what meant the most to them. We all suffer heart ache, growing pains, and trials, but whatever you put your time, energy, and money into will become more important to you. So how much have you invested in your relationship with the father? Are you living with him as your source, and everything else a resource? "Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome."

God is in the Restoration Business...

 

Are you not feeling your self?  A little slow, broken, or forgotten.  Maybe your actions have not been what you know they should be, and you are missing God's presence because of it?  Well If you have been watching the news over the past 48 hours Michael Vick has a new multi-million dollar contract in place, in other words, he has been restored!  Just like when your computer crashes, or in this case you, God has a way of restoring his people.  God is in the restoration business.  I can site to you over 20 scripture references for God restoring his people.  God does not want to be separated from you, he wants you to draw near unto him.  So if you are feeling disconnected, remember he is able....So what are you waiting for, It's time to begin your restoration process!!!!!

Set an Expiration Date...

 

Do you know that you were created to say a thing, and then watch it be established unto you? (Job 22:28)   It's not often you go to the store and purchase bad meat, or food that has gone bad, and why is that, because someone declared when it would no longer be of value.  Like wise with your problems, you have the ability to set an expiration date for your problems.  You wonder why some things are still an issue, that is because you have not set an expiration date.  Today go back to your original mandate and start speaking over somethings and letting them know their time has expired and then start declaring somethings and establishing their start! 

Is your tank empty...are you running on low?

 

Are you running on low? Do you feel your tank is empty? Sometimes empty is a great place to be. God loves to have us in position where all you have left to lean on is him, there he is able to accomplish your greatest victories. Just like Elisha and the Widows' oil (2 Kings 4:1-7). He was able to make provision for her debts and to live off for the rest of there life. If you are not in a place where you are feeling his presence and living off of his provisions for your life, then just maybe you aren't empty enough for him to fill you!

Answer the Eight Count

In boxing, when you get knock down, they give you a standing eight count to get your self together and back on track to continue the fight..1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8...Time to wake your self up, and get back in the fight. Jesus is your cut man and he knows you have it in you to succeed, God trained you so the tools are present to win, all you have to do is answer the 8 count.

I am Sold Out for Jesus...

My co-worker asked me why is it that I don't get as worked up on major projects and events that take place, aren't I worried about something going wrong? I said not really...You want to know the true meaning of success, try reading Joshua 1:5-9. Joshua accepted Moses' place of leadership without misgivings. God's will for him was his will, and he did not hesitate. To go "all out" for God was already habitual with him; it is the unfailing prerequisite of eternal success (Deut. 6:3-5; Ps. 1:1-3; Luke 10:25-28). What ever you are facing try going all out for God in it instead of yourself, only then will you have success at it!!!!!

Don't Worry Be Happy...

God never said that there would not be trouble, but he does tell you to fear not, and that you can cast your cares on him. Stop worrying about your problems your issues, what you have or what your don't have. When you go before God and give him your troubles, it is hard not to pick them but up, but know that when you do, you are in fact rejecting God's offer to comfort you. You are stubbornly holding on to your anxiety, and foolishly declining God's help. The bible says trust in the Lord, so either you choose to keep worrying or chose to trust God, either way make a choice! Don't worry be happy!!!

Complain and Remain, Praise and Be Raised!!!!

We all get lost and sometimes tend to loose our way, but it is the attitude that you have while in the wilderness which will determine how long you stay there!  If you choose to complain then you shall remain, but if you choose instead to praise then through the Lord God almighty you will be raised!!!

Decisions...

 

We make hundreds of decisions daily, but very few commitments. You may have made a decision to follow Jesus. Great decision, however until you commit to him, you may notice little change. Your decision was to acknowledge that Jesus is your Lord and needs to take control to effect change from the inside out. Committing to Jesus Christ means you actually give him that control. Today recommit yourself to the Lord.

God has got this...

The Fun with getting ready for family vacation was the anticipation. In Life, we face uncertainties, disappointments, & challenges, & they are not as much fun to anticipate as a vacation, but God! Don't dwell on what u have no control over, whether it be finances, health, relationships, or loved ones, God shall be there with u when the future happens & his Word shall not return void. Instead focus on him, the rest will take care of itself through him for he is God...he does not make mistakes!!!!

Jesus...It's Just that easy!!!!

All your questions, all your problems, all your difficulties, if you facing a decision or choices and your are finding it difficult for you to make, fear not there is a solution, press the button...It's Just That Easy!!!!!!

Technical Difficulties....Please Stand By

Dealing with difficulties the easiest way to handle them is to change your perspective about them. It doesn't matter if its a co-worker, child, friend, loved one or even a spouse. If God wanted to remove all of our problems from life he could. Instead he allows us to go through them so that in turn we can experience his comfort, his faithfulness, his joy, his peace, his patience and most of all is presence in our lives. For it is truly in the difficulties that our faith brings us closer to God.

Grace

As long as we live in this world God doesn't exempt us from the consequences of our actions both good and bad. But he has given us grace and mercy to be able to go through it. He has never left our side nor forsaken us. He gave us another comforter in the Holy Ghost, and as a result we have all the strength we need to handle life. He never says adversity may come but he does say you will go to the other side.

Mission Impossible....

Your Mission, if you choose to accept it, is to live off your prayers for others today, and not those for yourself. Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father praying without stopping that your faith does not fail, so today, respect the love of Christ, and pray for someone else today that their faith does not fail, it will bless your heart!

I Choose Life....

"If anyone wishes to come after me", he said, "he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me" (Lk 9:23). When the cross is embraced it becomes a sign of love and of total self-giving. To carry it behind Christ means to be united with him in offering the greatest proof of love. The choice is between a full life and an empty existence. You have to make a choice to deny yourself daily, and embrace God's love for you. Choose Life!!!!

What are you reflecting?

Imagine, what if today the economy changed. Instead of the currency you are used to you had to live off of your giving? How deep would your pockets be? Do you give off love, peace, joy, or do you give off hate, anger, bitterness, resentment. The bible says that God loves a cheerful giver, it also goes on to say give and it shall be given to you, in good measure pressed down, shaken together and running over...Will your pockets be empty, or will they be running over !!!!!

I AM SAVED!!!!

I AM SAVED. It may not make much of a difference to u. You may believe in Jesus or not. You may think it is okay to live your life however u choose to do so and it does not make you right or wrong, but at the end of the day, it makes a difference to me, I AM SAVED. That means I am being set a part for something great, I am able to be used in a mighty way, and that I have someone on my side with whom all things are possible, so at all cost and by any means necessary I choose life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God is Love...

There is a reason that of these thing love is the greatest. That is because sometimes when going through and dealing with life all you have left is love, and to you that may be a bad place to be, but to me, it is not because God is love and what better thing to have left then God in any situation!

Purpose in the day...

" Just because today is not perfect, does not mean that it does not have purpose in it!"

Self-sufficiency

(Judges 7:2) The Lord said to Gideon, The people who are with you are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel boast about themselves against Me, saying, My own hand has delivered me...God reduced their number from 32000 to 300. With an army this vastly outnumbered, there could be no doubt that the victory was from God. Learn to let him fight your battles... Self-sufficiency is a handicap when if causes us to believe that we can do it in our own strength. Like Gideon (Judges 7:2), we must recognize the dangers of fighting in our own strength. We can be confident of the victory against life's challenges and temptations only if we put our confidence in God and not ourselves.

Purpose v. Vision

Your vision comes to pass when your purpose is being fulfilled! Stop focusing on the vision He gave you and instead focus on the purpose he put you here for, only then will you see the vision.

Thankful

One can not say too much about how thankful I am to God. But we can learn a lesson from those who are not. Find Godly ways to express your appreciation when someone does something for you. Psalm 92 says it is good to give the Lord thanks. We should always be grateful for what he has done!
