AM I MY STUMBLING BLOCK?

Today, let’s just think about, seriously consider, if we are what’s causing us not to be where God wants us to be. I don't want to be my own stumbling block because I haven't accepted what my loving heavenly Father has for me, what Jesus died to give me. Sometimes I think I have a better idea; a better way and the truth is there is nothing better than God’s way and what He has for me. "If you are right with God, He strengthens you for the journey; the Eternal will be pleased

POSITIONED!

"You shall not need to fight in this battle; take your positions, stand still, and see the deliverance of the Lord [Who is] with you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Fear not nor be dismayed. Tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you." (2 Chronicles 20:17 AMPC) The odds may look like they are against you but when you're on God's side the victory is already yours. Make sure you're not fighting a battle you've already won! Don't let the enemy convince you to fight when all

WEIGHT - IT'S NOT JUST A PHYSCIAL ISSUE!

Weight isn't just a physical thing! We are spirit, soul, and body and weight can be carried in all of these areas! Any part of us that is out of balance impacts all the other parts. God wants us whole in all areas! "And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [separate you from profane things, make you pure and wholly consecrated to God]; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and complete [and found] blameless at the coming of our Lord

A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT!

Some days: I don't see the value in what I do. I just want to shut it all down. I wonder if what I do makes a difference. My flesh gets weary. Some days: I feel undervalued, unappreciated, and taken advantage of. I have been disrespected, overlooked, uninvited, and verbally abused while serving others. Then I remember: God gave me this assignment because He knew He could trust me with it. It is His strength that empowers me. I am not alone. All I have to do when I get weary a

GOD'S YES TRUMPS MAN'S NO!

"I know that You can do all things, and that no thought or purpose of Yours can be restrained or thwarted." (Job 42:2 AMPC) Our purpose in Him cannot be thwarted! "But the Lord’s plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken." (Psalms 33:11 NLT) It doesn't matter who tells you no when God says yes! "I will cry to God Most High, Who performs on my behalf and rewards me [Who brings to pass His purposes for me and surely completes them]!" (Psalm 57:2 AMPC) No one

PROVISION!

The widow, with just a little oil, could only pour into the empty containers that were made available to her. (There are people waiting to provide for you. Don't be afraid to ask. That's when the oil starts to flow!) Once she ran out of containers she ran out of oil! Don't miss that she had exactly the amount she needed to pay her debts and for her and her sons to live off the overflow, the extra. God provides abundantly more. She had her immediate need met and her future nee

DIGGING DEEPER INTO ISAIAH 40:31!

The Lord is still dealing with Isaiah 40:31 in my life. Going to sit with this Scripture some more! Can't seem to let it go. God keeps sending it in my line of sight in multiple ways. "But those who wait upon God get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles, They run and don’t get tired, they walk and don’t lag behind." (Isaiah 40:‬31 MSG) "But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and pow

EMPOWERED BY WAITING ON THE LORD!

“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not faint or grow weary; there is no searching of His understanding. He gives power to the faint and weary, and to him who has no might He increases strength [causing it to multiply and making it to abound]. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and [selected] young men shall feebly stumble and fall exhausted; But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for

WAITING ON THE LORD!

"But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired." (Isaiah 40:31 AMPC) Lately, I keep seeing this Scripture, in some form or another, everywhere. I spent some serious quality time with the Lord around this Scripture recently. I studied the

LISTEN TO GOD!

So much pain could have been avoided if I had listened to God! Many times, I leaned on my own understanding, which let's face it is limited. Yes, I learned a lesson, because God wastes nothing, but not all lessons have to come from pain and leaning on my own understanding, which is disobedience really and usually brings pain. He does try to spare us if we would just listen and obey! For now, this is the way I will travel: "Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your

THE POWER OF REST!

I am focused. And at times I am also tired. We can be both as long as being tired doesn't get us off track of our purpose. Rest will restore and refresh us. It will give us perspective. Being tired doesn't mean being unfocused. Our bodies and minds get tired. We need to rest. Jesus, Himself made that clear in Mark 6:31: Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and

THREE SCRIPTURES FOR NAVIGATING NEW SEASONS!

When approaching a new season there are three key Scriptures the Lord shared with me and told me to focus on to navigate into the new season: "Do not [earnestly] remember the former things; neither consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." (Isaiah 43:18‭-‬19 AMPC) "And I will bring the blind by a way that

PURPOSE CREATES VISION!

“His destiny-plan for the earth stands sure. His forever-plan remains in place and will never fail.” (Psalm 33:11 TPT) My life is a date with destiny. I am part of Your plan for the earth, Abba Father. Your destiny-plan stands firm and will never fail. It will come to pass. “The first key to understanding vision is to realize that it always emanates from purpose. Why? God is the Author of vision, and it is His nature to be purposeful in everything He does. Every time He appea

YOUR VISION IS YOUR DESTINY!

Where there is no vision, the people perish. (Proverbs 29:18a KJV) Lord, let me continually walk in vision. I do not want to perish. I want to always be actively pursuing what matters to You and walking in why You created me. “Your vision determines your destiny. When you can see what is possible and believe that it can come to pass, it makes you capable of doing the impossible.” (Dr. Myles Munroe) Vision = Destiny I can impact destiny by pursuing my God given vision. I will

FAITH CREATES VISION POSSIBILITIES!

“Then the word of the Lord came to me [Jeremiah], saying, Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:4-5 AMPC) Abba Father, You always had a plan for me. You formed me. You knew me and approved of me as Your chosen instrument before I was even born. You separated and set me apart, consecrating me

GOD LEAVES NOTHING TO CHANCE!

“I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.” (Jeremiah 29:11 MSG) “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 NIV) Thank You Abba Father for having a plan and for knowing what You’re doing. I’m so grateful that Your plan includes taking care of me, not abandoning me, prosperi

SEEKING GOD'S DIRECTION!

I am seeking God's direction on what I should embrace in this season. My heart's desire is to seek His heart, to do what He wants. Just because I've been doing something for years doesn’t mean I should continue doing it. It's not about how I can do ministry better; it's about what God wants me to focus on! So, I will ask Him, Lord, what do YOU want me to focus on in this season? Do I continue doing what I've always done, or do You have something new for me to do now? (We shou

THE POWER OF COMMITMENT!

“Commit your way to the Lord [roll and repose each care of your load on Him]; trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass.” (Psalm 37:5 AMPC) “Give God the right to direct your life, and as you trust him along the way, you’ll find he pulled it off perfectly!” (Psalm 37:5 TPT) I commit fully to You, Lord. I roll and repose each care of my load on You. I want You to direct my life showing me the paths You want me to take. I trust, lean on

"But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides." (Matthew 6:33 AMPC) Lord, I will seek after, aim at, strive after, Your kingdom and righteousness, your way of doing and being right. When I do this, I don't have to worry about things because you will take care of my needs. Thank you for that Abba Father. "To complete your vision plan, you

IT'S NOT ABOUT ME!

The man answered, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” (Luke 10:27 NLT) Lord help me to continually love You with all my heart, soul, strength, and mind. Let me always make You a priority. And Father, let me genuinely love others out of my love for You. "A vision from God is never selfish. It will always help or uplift others in some way. It is designed to make the
