All Things New

Be encouraged and empowered in the WORD.  Jesus died for you out of love and genuine concern.  Our relationship with Him springs forward hope. Praise and Worship our Lord.  Submitting to God can allow us to have a new beginning. Humble our hearts and wait to receive your approved blessings. Be open to change and improvement, change is not negative. Expect 2022 to be a time of securing the benefits for our obedience and working in the Kingdom. 2021 had its difficulties but when you hold on in absolute faith, God will show-out. Keep PUSHING your way forward.  Did you make a promise (Promise to Achieve -PTA)? Did you achieve it? If you did not fully a make it— Guess what? God loves you, never forget.  He only desires the best for you and wants you to succeed. Trust Him and Believe.  His mercy and reassurance in change—Isa. 43:14-21

Your “promise to achieve” needs a plan of action.  (Revisit Jan. 2021 post)

A.  Continue to pray when you rise and before you rest.

B.  Study the Word and speak life and power for your successful completion.

C.  Determine what you need to change. What actions are allowing you to fall or go back to the issue? Is it people, places you go, things you say or think about, etc. Is it simply your own self-doubt or lack of prioritization in your life?

You are stronger than you think.  Keep moving forward and stay focused.

No worries. Some of us made wrong turns by choice, became overwhelmed, did not follow directions (unknowingly), hesitated, let go of hope, refused to be taught and our faith weaken by what we saw and heard. God is awesome—He saw it all and still loved you more. He continued to call us and show us the way. Grab hold and let Him lead.  You can do it and God will help you succeed.

Read: Eccl. 3:1, 2 Corin. 9:8, Rev. 21:5, Mark 11:24

Make sure you pray and worship consistently. God loves our praise in spite of the situation.  Be intentional to have intimate time with Him.

         

God bless.

Do You Know?

We live in a time where some believe because of association or status. My question is not based on the physical we may see such as knowing the barber or handyman down the street. How much do you know about the love of Christ?  Let’s talk about the experience.  Jesus Christ is the reason you can have an abundant life. Can you call Him friend? Prayerfully you can say, yes. We are all brought for a price and that is through the blood of Jesus.  (Read: 1 Cor. 6:20)  Literally, paid in full with His blood.  Therefore, we are to honor and glorify God.

We have been given a gift and we did not work for it. Wow, you were thought of before you knew Jesus. Why do we move so slowly when God speaks. Do you know God’s voice? Man says this or that and we move, jump, and run to do. It is true, we do.  Who do you trust without a doubt?  Stop putting all your trust in man and trust all things from God. This not to say that you never trust anyone, but be wise in who and what we trust in.  Have confidence in the Lord. No matter what—Trust God. Man gives you no guarantee.

In your times of trouble, do you know to call Jesus? 

He is your help in times of need.

He is your power when week.

He is your voice when speechless.

He is your vision when sightless.

He is your everything.

Yield to His Will and call on Him.  He will always have a better way.  Is your way working? Do you believe He is working it out? Are you sure you are following His Word?  Remember trials and tabulation may come but God is in control. He will not leave you in the wilderness or lead you to failure—When we allow Him to guide us!  Take the path He sent you to navigate and keep going. Move with urgency and eyes on Christ Jesus.  (Read: Hebrews 12:1-2)   Start a relationship today or strengthen the one you have with the Lord.  

Read: John 14:6, 1 John 4:10, John 17:3

May the riches treasures of the Lord be upon you.

Stay Focused and Be Blessed!

Who are you?

      What is your answer? You may be asking, what do you mean? It may or may not be a thought provoking question for you. Some may find it so. Think about this situation. Have you experienced a question during a job interview and it took you by surprise? For example, “Tell me something about yourself.” Many of us find this question challenging. Do you know how to answer this question? Well, it does not involve giving your life story. Do you need to practice your response?  Who are you? (speak out loud five things)

What does God say you are? Giving you the common response most think of first “I am a child of God” and “I am a son or daughter of the King.” Challenge yourself to answer this question. God says you are… What are your five?

Here are few to help describe YOU.

GOD SAYS YOU ARE …

Valued/Precious        1 Corinthians 6:20 ...

                                                you were brought with a price

Strong                         Psalm 18:35 and Philippians 4:13 …

                                                you have all the tools to stand tall

Forgiven                     Psalm 103:12 …you were shown mercy;

                                                forgive yourself

Victorious                   Romans 8:37 and 1 Corinthians 5:57…

                                                you are conquerors

Chosen                       John 15:16 and 1Thessalonians 1:4 …

                                                God found you first

Practice walking in the power of God’s Word. You will need to surrender to His Will and do the Work.  Find more characteristics of who God says you are and believe. People can tell you many things about who they think you are. It is necessary that you know your identity and know you were exquisitely designed.

May the Blood of Jesus Keep You Covered.

Much Love
