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!
