Will You Be The "Somebody" In "Someone" Else's Life To Make A Difference For God?

Steps For Today......"Stop"....."Look"....."Listen"......

Are you running.....or are you always on the run?   To busy to stop.  To busy to see.  To busy to hear what is going on all around you. God is saying we need to stop.   We need to take time to look around us.   We need to take time to hear what others are saying.     Listen to the heart of their cry.

The world is crying.   The world is crying for help.   For a Savior.   For a friend.    The world is seeking someone to help them.   To show them who God really is.    But we are running.   We are running so fast that people can't see.    They can't see the God in us.    We don't stop long enough to allow them to see who God is. We don't stop to show them the "love" of God.   The compassion that passes understanding.    We don't stop long enough to show them the "joy" of the Lord or the "peace" of God.   We're running.

We say that we are running for Him but loving God is about loving His people.    Feeding His sheep.   When you feed someone ..... you give them something that will strengthen them and build them up.    That will be bread for their tomorrow.   Something that will sustain them.   But we are so busy running that we run out.   We eat the bread we have (that word that is needed to sustain) for ourselves.    We don't share it.   We don't build anyone up along the way.   We don't reflect the love, joy, and peace of God.    So how are we wiping away any tears.  When we do this....sometimes instead of wiping away tears.....we are causing more tears to flow.    We are saying one thing and displaying another.  

It's time to realize that this walk has never been about "self" or sustaining self.   It is all about dying to self as you live for God.   It's about giving what you have and trusting God to sustain you.    If all you have is love.....give love.   If all you have is peace.....give peace.   If all you have is joy.....make somebody laugh today.     Pour out what you have and allow God to fill you with a flow that is never ending.  

So again I say that it's time we "stop", "look", and "listen".   Listen to the cries of the people around you and do whatever you can.....in whatever way that God has enabled you.....to wipe away their tears.

Time To Take Off The Disguise and Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace.....

2nd Post Today....

What is it that you are hiding under?   Are you hiding under your problems, under your situations, under your circumstances?   Better yet......why are you hiding?   Why would you try to hide from the one who sees all, knows all, and is able to fix it all?

We are like Adam and Eve.   We try to hide.   We try to run.   But how can you outrun the One in whom you exist?   You "are" in God.   You exist in Him.   The whole world exists in Him.   There is no where you can go to get outside of Him.   He has said in His word that wherever you are......He "is".   Even if you make your bed in hell.....He is there.

So why not take off the cloak?   Why not take off the disguise?   Why try to be what you are not?   Why try to exist where you do not belong?    

We live our lives trying to please people by whatever means necessary and all God wants is for us to live our lives to please Him.   To serve Him.   He has told us to come boldly to the throne of grace to receive His mercy.   When you come boldly......you come without a disguise.   You come just as you are.   You come unveiled.....revealed.    There is no need for pretense or pretending because He already knows everything about you.  

So move forward today......

Move from the place where your desire is to please people.   Move into the place where your "soul" desire ..... the desire of your mind, will, and emotions is to please God and God alone.    He accepts you totally as you are.....and wants you to be free from the desire to please man.  

So What Is It That You Are Inclined To Do? Let The Word Pull And Position You.....

To be inclined.....to have a preference.....

So what is it that you are inclined to do?   Are you inclined to serve God?   Or are you inclined to do your own thing?    What exactly is your own thing?   What does it consist of?    Does it consist of living your life in a way that is upright.....holy.....obedient to God and His word?   Or is it to just exist?

What does it mean to exist without purpose.    The purpose behind a thing ..... is the reason you do it.  So what are your reasons today?   What is your rationale for what you do?    Is it to be seen?   Whose attention are you trying to capture?   God's or mans?  

What does it really take to get the attention of man?   What are you sacrificing?   What are you giving up or should I say letting go of in order to capture someone's attention.     In what ways are you unveiling yourself?   Revealing yourself?  

Should everyone see inside of you?    Or should the innermost part of who you are be reserved for God only.....so that it remains pure and holy?

Inclination......the thing that you are leaning to.   What is it?   What is it that you are desiring to do?   What is the purpose behind your passion?   Where is your passion leading you to?   Is it leading you to the arms of God?    Or is it leading you to a lonely place.    A place that is void of God's presence.    

It's all about what you do with what God has done.     Will you take it?   Will you share it?   Will you stand on the promises of it?    Will you believe it?    Will you trust it?    You have to take the word of God and share it with those around you.   You have to stand on the promises which are written and believe that what God has said will come to pass.    You have to trust that God is who He says He is and that He watches over His word to perform it in your life.    

Let your inclination always be based on who God is and what He has done.    Let the word pull you and position you to where God wants you to be.

It's Time To Move From Self Motivation To Being God Motivated.......

Do you really understand who Jesus is and what He accomplished on the cross?   What really happened .... the death ... the burial ... the resurrection.   Or is it just another story in another book to you?   How do you differentiate the truth from fiction in your life.    The reality of what was.....is......and is to come.   How do you distinguish and portray Jesus in your life?  

A lot of times we just speak of Him.   Not realizing that we are suppose to reflect Him.    We are supposed to be a portrait of who He is and what He accomplished in the earth.     Not only was Jesus manifested in a physical body.....but He was also a manifestation of God's goodness, God's grace, and God's mercy in the earth.    His life reflected who God is.......and our life should be constantly moving towards a clear reflection of who Jesus was in the earth.  

You have to understand who you are.   You have to understand what Jesus has done.   You have understand the Spirit that lives within you. 

In order to portray a clear picture of Jesus.....you must get rid of the blockages.   The things that block your mind from believing.   The things that block you from speaking God's word.    The things that cause you to be constantly distracted.       The things that cause you to do the things "you would not do" if  you sole purpose was to please God.   

Understand that there are things that we "would not do" if our mind and our focus is strictly on God.   Not only would you not do them.....you couldn't do them because of  fear that God would not be pleased.    So who is it that you desire to please?   Is it "self pleasure" that you seek?   Or is your desire to please the God who saved you ..... delivered you ...... allowed His ONLY begotten son to die for you ...... defeated the devil for you ...... gave YOU new life.    Is it your desire to please Him.......or to please yourself?

When will we move from self motivation to being God motivated?   To where our actions and our thoughts are based on God's purpose and His plan.    How far can you carry yourself?    You cannot die "for yourself"  .... but you can die "to yourself".   Because you couldn't die for yourself, God allowed His son to die for you.    The question is.....will you take this life that He saved and use it for His glory?   It's not about self motivation, self righteousness, or self indulgence........it's all about you dying "to self" and living "for God".

The "Wick" Of The Anointing Within....Will You Burn For God Today?

You have been given a new day.   What are you going to do with it?   There are some who don't have the opportunities that you have today.   The opportunities to change a life.   To live a life.   To decide about life.    But you do.    You have yet another opportunity to impact the world for God.   To make an impact means that you come in contact with or have a strong affect on someone or something else.    How are you impacting your friends......your family.....your co-workers?

Are you affecting them in a way that leads them closer to the Lord?    Or is the affect that you have one that solidifies a life or lifestyle outside of the will, purpose and plan of God.   You are making an impact ..... whether it be good or bad.   Everything that we do solidifies what we believe ....... and because people trust us ..... there are those who will subconsciously line up there belief system based on what they see you do and hear you say.  

You have an opportunity today.   An opportunity to help.   An opportunity to be a lamp.   A lamp is a vessel that generates light.    It is also defined as a vessel containing oil.    Understand your design.   You are designed to be filled with oil and to generate light.    Oil is indicative of the anointing.    Light is who God is.     You carry within you the anointing of God and the light of God radiates from you.  

However, we must be careful.   We have to make sure our lamp does not go out.   That we don't become empty and void.    That we don't allow the pressures of this world to cover up the "wick" within us.   The wick is that which draws up the anointing and causes us to burn for God.    To have a passion and a pursuit for Him.     When the pressures of life come....we have to begin to deal with them before they come in.   We have to be settled on what we believe and what we know God will do.     We cannot allow the things on the outside to build up on the inside.   Your design....the way that God created you to be......is to be filled with Him.....not the cares of the world.    To know Him and trust what you know.    

God has granted you a new day......will you make an impact and burn for Him?

Why Resist ..... When You've Been Drafted?

Resistance.....a force that opposes direction and motion.    What are you doing when you resist the plan of God.   You are opposing God.  You are going in a different direction than the one that God would have you to go in.    You are challenging God on what He has said should be the direction for your life.

How wise is it to oppose and challenge God?   The Creator of the universe.   The one who has saved you and delivered you from the hand of the enemy.   When you oppose.....that means you are on the "opposite" side.    How smart is it to remove yourself from the winning side and to be a part of anyone or anything that is opposing the King?   The one who has the authority and the ability to cause things to change.   

But that's what we do.   Instead of flowing with God and what He has said......we go against Him.   We select a different direction.    We choose a different team.   When we have already been "drafted" by God.....we choose to exercise our right as a "free agent" and team up with the enemy.

Resistance.....direction.....motion.   God has already said that He would direct our paths and He has already told us to come closer to Him.    The direction has been given....the motion has been set.    You have been drafted......chosen by God to be a part of His plan.    Your compensation has already been paid in full for you  The direction has been set.  

Now....the question is.....

Will you flow with God or will you oppose Him?   The choice is yours.  The final outcome has been established ..... so whatever your answer is .....keep in mind that God has already revealed through His word.....the final result based on the answers of your life.    Only one team will be victorious in the end.

What Do You Do When.....?

3rd Post Today....

What do you do when it doesn't turn out the way you thought?   The way you prayed?   The way you expected?   Do you give up?   Do you quit?   Do you turn back?  

What does it mean when the thing you didn't want becomes the reality that you are in?   Does it mean that God couldn't do it?   Does it mean that God doesn't care?  

You have to know that it's not about what we think.   It's all about what God knows and what He has said.    When the unexpected becomes our reality.....we still have to trust God.    No matter what is going on.....you still have to say, "yet will I trust you Lord".   

It's all about trusting Him no matter what.    When you don't understand....trust Him.   When you thought it would be different.....trust Him.   When you are hurting inside.....trust Him.   

It's all about trusting the One who loves you more than you can ever imagine.     No matter what it looks like....no matter what it feels like....no matter what the reality of the situation is......TRUST HIM.   

What was a surprise to you .... is not a surprise to the all seeing, all knowing, and all sufficient God.   Instead of turning from Him....turn to Him....so that He can help you in your time of need.    

Believing That You Believe.....

2nd Post Today

You say that you believe.....but do you really believe?

Do you really believe that God created the heavens and the earth?   Do you really believe that God loves  you?    Do you really believe that Jesus took stripes on His back so that you could be healed?   Do you really believe that Christ died on the cross so that you could live?

Or are you just saying that you believe?

True belief.....real belief....produces unshakable faith.   A faith that will stand under all kinds of pressure.   A faith that says "my daddy will do it".   That says I can't be denied as long as what I ask lines up with His will, His purpose, and His plan.    Lining up with His word.   His Word is established.    When something is established it is recognized and accepted.   It is undeniable.   Did you not know that the whole world listens for the voice of His command?

So.....the question for today is....

What does the earth hear when it hears you speak?  Voice is defined as a sound....or a distinctive tone.   God's voice is distinguishable.    The earth and everything in the earth knows the sound of God.   Do you sound like God?   Are you producing a sound that reiterates to the earth who God is?  

The sound you produce is directly related to what you believe.   If you really believe God is a healer....you will speak to the earth that He is Jehovah Ropha.   If you really believe that God is a provider.....you will speak to the earth that He is Jehovah Jireh.   If you really believe that He is a comforter.....you will speak to the earth that He is Jehovah Shalom.   What is being spoken if you are silent?   What is lining up if there is no command?  A command is an order given with authority.    Again, in order for you to act in authority.....you must first believe that you have the power entrusted to you.   

Take the time to solidify within yourself what you believe.    Don't allow your belief system to be rooted in anything else but what God has said.   Take the authority that He has given  you and speak.   Let your sound be a reproduction of God's voice by speaking His Word.   

Believe that you believe today....and KNOW that He is God.

Keeping It Real.....

Real.....What does real mean to you?   

Real means....existing.....not imagined.   Real means that it is verifiable and not alleged.    How many times in life do we suppose things to be true.    How often do we speculate and move based on speculation rather than truth?   How often do we act like we believe something and not really have faith in what we say we believe?

It's time to move past that point.   It's time to move past speculation and imagination to validity and truth.    When something is validated....it is sealed.   That's what God's word is.   It has been validated by the blood of Jesus.   Sealed with the blood.   And nothing on earth can remove the seal that God has placed on your life.    God's word has been validated in you, for you, to work through you.  

Do you trust Him?   Do you trust the reality of what He has said?   Do you see and  understand the seal that has been placed on your life.  The verifiable evidence of the blood of Jesus.   Do you believe it?   Do you truly believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins and that you are forgiven?   Or is it just something you say to motivate yourself and those around you.   

What good is motivation if it is not followed up with something.    Followed up with the works and the word of God.   Followed up with a passion to serve Him and to live fully for Him.   

You have to keep this life "real".    Don't let your salvation be a figment of your imagination.   Don't let it just be something you say.    Let it be a life that is verifiable and true.   A life that walks in the truth of who God is and what He has done.   

Keeping it "real" will lead you into the "reality" of who God is.....

What Does It Mean When God Said "He" Would Raise Up A Standard?

Where is fear?   What is fear?    Fear is an emotion based on the "belief" that someone or something is about to cause you harm.   But God said in Isaiah 41:10 (New American Standard Version)...."Do not fear, for I am with you.   Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.   I will strengthen you, surely I will help you.   Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."

What more do you need than to know that God has said that He is YOUR God.   That He will strengthen you.   That He will help you.    That He will uphold you.    He has given His word directly to you.    He has promised YOU that if you trust Him .....He will keep you.   It's personal.   Your relationship with God is personal.   It's not based on what someone else does.....it is strictly based on what Jesus did and God's love for you.   

Don't be fooled.   You have an enemy and that enemy will use people around you.....people that surround you to come against your life.    Whoever yields.....that's who he will use.   BUT God said in Isaiah 59 that when the enemy comes in like a flood.....that He would raise up a standard against him.   A standard is a rule or principle used for judgment.    God's word is His standard.   You have to understand that God will judge your enemies based on His word.   

His Word says "touch not my anointed....do my prophets no harm".   His Word says that He will make your enemies your footstool.   His Word says that those who hurt you.....hurt Him.   You have to understand that God has your back.   That is why He has told you to pray for those who despitefully use you.   Who come against you to cause you harm.......because they don't understand what comes against them as they come against you.   

Know that God has already set up a standard that covers you on every side.   So trust the Word today.....do the Word today......for you are victorious.    Though the enemy thinks that he has won.....his end is yet to come.    Trust God concerning every "circumstance" in your life.   Everything that is encircling ...... or should I say surrounding your life today.   For you have a God that knows and is more than able to bring you out of the fire without being burned.    

Faith is what God requires......Victory is just one manifestation of who God is and wants to be to you.  Trust His word as true and walk in the reality of it today!

What Will Stand......Will You?

Everything will be shaken.   The question is ..... what will stand?   Will you?  

God is who He is.....He has said what He is going to say.....are you listening?  When will you understand that this life is temporal and God's word is real?    You say you believe.....yet you still do what you want to do.   You live like you want to live and say what you want to say.    You trust when it's easy and you experience faith failure when things get hard.  

When will you truly trust Him.   Believe Him.   Lean on Him.   Depend on Him.  

True faith requires .... true dependence.    When you depend........it means you truly rely on.   It means that  your faith and your trust is not divided.    It means that  your condition....your state of being is "determined by" something or someone else.    When  you look at your life.....what has determined where you are today?   What or who has been the deciding factor in your choices.   What was the basis of your choices?   Was it God's word or your will?   

Now we are at the threshhold.   We have to understand that the "spiritual" lines up with the "physical".   The Bible talks about earthquakes in "divers" places.   When I hear that....I hear.....earthquakes in "diverse" places.   Not the norm.   Different places.   What you have to understand is that when the earth shakes....everything that is standing on the earth is shaking with it.   

UNDERSTAND today......that your life is being shaken.    The question is ...... will you be left standing.  When all is said and done....when everything that doesn't  line up with the plan, purpose, and will of God is shaken off.   What will be left?  It is at that time that the truth is revealed.   When all the outward acts and all outward displays are removed ....... what will be seen at that time is the truth of what is inside of you. 

The question is.....is there enough substance of who God is inside of you to weigh you down when everything around you is moving, shaking, and being broken?

What Is It That You Are Clinging To?

To cling.....
To hold tightly or tenaciously to.....
To adhere....
To have a strong emotional attachment to.....

What is it that you are clinging to?   Are you clinging to God?   Are you holding on tightly to His promises and His word?  Or is it something else?  Or someone else?  

It's time to evaluate.    To evaluate means to estimate the nature, quality, ability, extent, or significance of a thing. Have you evaluated the things in your life?   The things that you give time to.   The people that you spend time with.   Have you taken the time to look at the nature of the things around you?   Where they are coming from?   There origin......   Everything has an origin.   A place where it originated.  

Are the things in your life originated based on God's plans or your thoughts.   Based on God's word or your intent.    What is your intent?   What is the thing that you are determined to do?  So many times we just let things "be".   We allow things to attach themselves to us.....not considering there origin and what they bring with them.  

It's time to "consider"......take into account and think carefully about.....everything that has attached itself to our lives.   It's time to cut off all the dead things.   The things that are not conducive to the plan that God has for our lives.  

The one thing that we must cling to....that is necessary to our lives.....is God.   His plan.....His word.....His way.     Get to know the nature of God.....for He is "origin"......He is where everything else comes from and exists.    Get to know the one who "Is".     For in knowing Him.....you can truly know who you "are".

Are You Having An Identity Crisis When It Comes To God?

To identify.....to establish or indicate who someone is.....to recognize or distinguish.  

How do you identify Jesus?  How do you establish or indicate who He is to you?   How do you recognize Him and distinguish Him from everyone and everything else in your life?  In John 18.....Pilate asked Jesus was He the King of the Jews?  Jesus asked Pilate was this something he was saying or was it something someone else had told him.    Is how you see Jesus based on what you know.....or what someone else is saying?   You have to know Him for yourself.   You have to establish a one on one ..... personal relationship with God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the "blood".  

A relationship is based on how you "relate" to someone or something.    How you identify with it.    It is all based on how you see God.   How you see Jesus.   How you see the Holy Spirit.  How you see the blood in your life.  Do you see God as the great "I Am"?   Do you see Jesus as Lord, Savior, and King?   Do you see the Holy Spirit as your Comforter?   Do you see the blood as your covenant established?

How you see.....determines how you identify, recognize, and establish who God is in your life.    What you have to understand is.....that your "seeing" cannot be based on your  natural physical senses.   Your seeing has to be based on your revelation of who God is.  

So.....if you are you having an identity crisis when it comes to recognizing who God is?   Take the time to factor in what He has said and what He has done.   Take the time to get the knowledge which leads to understanding.......so that you will know......so that it will be established and CONFIRMED in your heart exactly who and what God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the blood is to you.
\
PLEASE UNDERSTAND.....you can be on an expedition and there could be a gold bar worth a million dollars laying on the ground.....but if you don't know what a gold bar looks like.....if you can't identify with it......you will never pick it up.       

If you can't identify with God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the blood in your life......you can never walk in the fullness of what they represent.

Keeping It Clean.....Are You Removing The Rudiments Of The World?

Are you keeping it clean?   Are you washing yourself from the rudiments of the world?

Your heart, your mind, your life.   Are you keeping it clean?  Your will, your way, your words.   
Are  you in a place where you watch what you do and what you say?   Are you allowing the word to cleanse you daily?    

Every day we have an opportunity to be filled with the dirt of the world.   The way the world thinks, the way the world acts, the way the world does things is always at our disposal.   It is always there....waiting.....to see if we will partake of it.....or rest in it.    The particles of the world are always getting on us.    The question is....do we allow it to build up on us to the point that it becomes visible?   It becomes visible in the way we look and in the things we do.   

We have to make sure that we are cleansing ourselves daily with the "water of God's word".   To be washed in the Word.   To remove all the dust and dirt that accumulated throughout the day from things we heard and the things we saw.   It accumulates.   When you watch television......when you go to the store.......when you listen to the radio.....even on Christian channels.   It enters in through the eye and ear gates and accumulates on your heart and mind.   

We have to be careful about how we receive the opinions of other people.   You have to ask yourself .... is it a God opinion or God perspective.    You have to begin to  filter everything you say and everything you do through the filter of God's word.    In doing so ...... you purge the unnecessary.   Those things that are not necessarily the will, purpose, and plan of God.   Those things that will cause your thoughts to be deterred and for the path of your life to become "curved" rather than "straight and narrow".   

Always remember that cleansing is always available.   The Word is always there for you to weigh your thoughts, your actions, and the things that you see and hear against it.   Nothing in your life should outweigh the Word of God.    Nothing in your life should oppose the Word of God.    The best action would be to avoid any and all things that are not in line with God's plan.   But some things we cannot avoid....some places we must go.  At that point it becomes necessary to cleanse yourself from the rudiments of the world.   A rudiments is something that is in it's first stages.   It is undeveloped.   What we tend to do is not wash off the things of the world when they are in the development stages.   We allow it to come to maturity.   To become fully developed and strong.   At which point it becomes a stronghold.  

What will you do today with the things you hear today and the things  you see?   Will you purge and cleanse yourself through the washing of the Word?

Are You In The Cleft Of God?

God is saying .....

Do you not know that you are His child and He watches over His word to perform it in your life.   Know you not that He loves you with an unending love.    Know you not that everything that you have need of .... He will supply.

God loves you.   He cares for you.   When you care for someone ..... you take "care" of them.    You don't let them suffer hurt.   You don't let them down.    You pick them up when they fall.   You wipe away their tears.   You know that they trust you and you do everything that you can to hold on to their trust.

God loves you today.
He wants you to trust the love that He has for you.

He wants to fill you.   He wants to cover you.   He wants you to reside under the shadow of His wings.   What a covering.   To be hidden in the "cleft" of His wings.   A cleft is a split.  The split between God's arm and His bosom.    The bosom of God is an intimate place.   It is a place of comfort.   John 1:18 talks about it being the place where Jesus dwells.   So God wants you in that intimate place with Him so that He can wrap His arms around you.   Get into the cleft of God. 

Even when it pertains to the things that relate to Him.....God will sometimes hide you.   Because you are not able or prepared to see all of His glory.   Moses wanted to see the Lord's glory.....but God hid him in the cleft of the rock and only allowed Him to see a portion of who He was.

Know that God "will" come and "will" reveal Himself in whatever manifestation you need Him to at the appointed time.   Always remember the phrase....."for such a time as this".   Know that God is always available for "such a time as this".   So whatever time it is in your life.....know that God is available and He wants you to rest on His bosom (the place nurture and comfort) ...... so that He can wrap His loving arms around you.

Are You Intrigued? If So.....By What?

To be intrigued......
To have your curiosity aroused......
To be captivated......
To have something appeal strongly to you......

What are you being intrigued by?   What is arousing your curiosity?   What is so captivating to you?   Is something appealing strongly to you?   

Beyond all those questions.....does the thing that has intrigued you.....aroused your curiosity.....captivated your attention.....and strongly appealed to you.......have anything to do with God?

What are these things that we give so much room to in our life that we allow them to push God out?   What is so consuming to us that we don't read....we don't pray.....we don't study....we don't believe.....and we don't trust God?   

Let Go.....
Let God.....

Let your attention be to Him.
Be captivated by Him......His presence......His Word.
Be curious about who He is and what He has done.   Let your appetite.....your hunger be for Him.  Let His life.....His light.....His love.....overtake you. 

Don't allow your hunger for the world to outweigh your love for the Lord.  Always remember that it is in Him that you live.....you breathe.....and you have your being.

Love Him today......
Prioritize your life and put Him first in everything you do and everything you say. 

Ask yourself ..... do you love God enough......
If anything can take you out of the will.....the purpose.....and the plan ........maybe you don't love Him enough.....

Turn up the Love.....deepen your relationship with Him by learning more about who He is and how much He loves you.    To the point that nothing or no one can take you out of His will......because it is His will that you live for.

Make your determined purpose be to please the one who loves you to the point that He gave His all for you.

Prophetic Pages Of Life......

2nd Post Today......

What are the prophetic pages of your life?   The things that have been spoken over you.... The things left to come to pass.....The words in limbo.....When something is in limbo....it is in a state of transition.   There are words that have spoken over your life that are transitioning to come to pass.

What "words" have been spoken over  you life pertaining to God's plan that have not come to pass yet?   What is it that you need to do in order to get in place for the transition to be complete.

When something is prophetic....it speaks of the foretelling of future events.   Your life is a book that is still being written......so again I ask......what are the prophetic pages of your life?   The things that God has spoken over your life that have not come to pass.   

The story has already been told.....you are just living it out.   

What's At The End Of Your "Be"?

The love of God, the peace of God, the power of God, the expression of who God is.   All of this is what resides on the inside of you.    You are God's handiwork on display.   You are His child in whom He loves.   He loves you so much that He gave His all for you.   His "only" begotten Son.....so that you could become sons and daughters.  

So what now?   What is it that you are going to do with what you have?   With the love that you have.   With the joy that you have.   With the peace that you have.   What will you do with it?   Who will you pour out love to?   Who will you comfort?   Who will you encourage?

You are God's word revealed.   Through you God's word is no longer hidden.   It opens the book.   It opens the hearts.   It opens the way for others who are blind to be able to see.

Will you be a vessel of beauty for God today?   A voice triumphant for God today?   A life surrendered for God today?   Or will you just be.....and will you just do?

What you have to understand is that there is always something at the end of that "be".   You are always going to "be" something or "be" doing something.    The question is.......will it "be" for God?   For His glory and for His kingdom.    You should always question the reasons behind what you do.   What will be the impact and end result of what you do?    It is the result that will potentially leave an affect on the lives of those around you.  

When something has an affect on something else.....it has within it the ability to alter the potential outcome of something else    The affect that you have on someone else can either cause them to live or die.    You carry within  you the water of the Word.   It is the drink for a dry and thirsty land.   Will you share your cup?  Your cup of love, your cup of joy, your cup of peace, your cup of God's word?   Or will you allow the people around you to die of thirst?

Are You Reacting or Responding?

What is going on in your silence?   Silence is a period of time where you are still.   Where you are not making any noise.   It is a time of supression.   It is a time where you act deliberately.   However, you can be silent and not say anything and  your reactions still speak out on your behalf.  

A major problem with silence is that others don't know what's going on or why you are being that way.   Silence can be good and silence can be bad.    If your silence is a result of hurt, anger, and confusion......you have to begin to weigh whether it is good or bad.    If it is a result of waiting on God .... his direction .... before you speak....then it is always good to be silent but you still have to be aware of how your reactions are affecting those around you.      

A lot of times what we speak and how we say it is a result of what is going on in our lives at that moment.   We act and react based on how we feel (our emotions).    We have to learn how to be silent.   How to wait.   How to "respond" with  direction and not just operate based on our emotions    In life, we tend to react "in" situations rather than wait and respond "to" situations.    

When you react.....there is very little thought put in what you are doing and what you are saying.   You are going based on the situation at that moment.   Whereas with a response....the answer can be automatic or well thought out.   It is not necessarily based on what you think or how you feel.  It should be based on what you believe    We have to start giving responses rather than reactions.     We have to start living based on what we believe rather than how we feel.

What people feel and what they see is usually based on your reaction.   However, your response far outweighs your reaction.   Your response is the answer to what is happening.   To what is going on.   To what is.   How you are feeling and how situations and circumstances have affected your life.   Whether it be a medical report, what someone has done, the bills, the job, etc.  Your response solidifies your actions and your outcome.    Responses are based on what you believe, whereas, reactions are based on how you feel.  The question is do you believe God?  If so, you need to get to a place where your response always points back to your trust and belief in Him.

We have to stop living in the "moment" and start living in the "life".   The life of Christ.   Allow Christ ... who He is and what He has done ..... to dictate your responses in life.

You Have To Know That God Hears Your Cry.....

One definition of cry is to call loudly.   To shout.   It is an expression of distress or pain.  

You have to know that God hears your cry.   He hears you when you call Him.   When you shout out His name.   He hears you when you are in distress or pain.   God knows what you need and He knows exactly how to get it to you.    

A lot of times when we are in distress, we tend to lean towards other people or our own alternatives.   But we have to learn how to "lean on" Jesus.    To rest in the arms of God.    God wants us to have complete shalom.    Nothing missing, nothing lacking, nothing broken.  

You have to know that no cry is the same in the ears of God.   That your cry is distinguishable.  He doesn't hear your cry and think that it is me.   He knows your voice and His arms are big enough and wide enough to bring you comfort.    

Remember to cry means to call loudly and to shout.   Call God today....invite Him into your situation.   Shout out His name.    Give Him praise.    

We always say "Lord I am available to you"......but we must know that He is available to us.  He is always ready to step into our situations and to show Himself strong.  

"Know the standard that God has lifted up in your life.......where the enemy cannot prevail."   Although the enemy has come in like a flood.....God has raised a standard against Him and He cannot prevail.   

Know God Today.....Know His Word, His Ways, His Protection, and His Peace......

At What Point Do You Compromise?

At what point do you compromise?   At what point do you yield?   At what point do you just agree?   With the situation, with the circumstance, with the life or the lifestyle?

We start off strong.   We say we trust God.   We say we believe God.   But things happen ..... they happen unexpectedly.   They don't work out the way we thought or the way we planned.    What do you do at that point?   Do you concede?   Do you give up?   Or do you trust God?   His word and what He has said.  

God said that He is not a man that He should lie ..... nor the son of man that He should repent.   That means that God NEVER has to take back what He said.    He said to let Him be TRUTH and everything else be a lie.   So if He is truth......if He is not a man.......if He does not lie.........then why do you give up?   Why do you experience "faith failure"?  

Could it be that your "faith" is not rooted in the "truth"?   The truth is God.   The truth is what God has said.   When everything that has grown up around us is gone......the only thing left is the "roots".   The roots is what will determine what everything else was grounded in.   It will determine what you truly believe.    It will determine whether you will stand on the "truth" or whether you will yield and surrender to compromise.

Understand that there is a difference.   There is a difference in what God is saying versus what the world says.   There is a difference in how God does a thing versus how the world does it.   There are distinct differences.   If you were called to be the same then there would be no need for salvation.   There was be no need to trust. There would be no need to take a stand and to believe that God is true.  

Who you are and what God desires you to be is all based on who He is.   Your walk, your talk, your difference ..... is because He is different.   You are to resemble Him.   Your belief and your faith is based on the truth that "He Is".    Your lifestyle should be rooted in Him.  

Compromise is always a result of selfish actions.   What you want or how you want others to see you.   It is never based on who God is and what He has said.    You have to resolve today that Jesus is your example.   When you make choices......when you make decisions.....when you talk.....your actions......should always resemble what Jesus would do.    So when you feel like lying.....when you feel like giving up......when you feel like just agreeing to take the pressure off.......ask yourself......does it resemble what Jesus would do?   Does the root of your decision go back to who God is and what God has said?

To Enhance.....Are You Allowing God To Enhance Your Life?

The word I am hearing this morning is "ENHANCE".....   What does that mean to you?   To enhance.    Enhance means to intensify, increase, or further improve the quality of something.    To make it better.   To beautify.   That's who God is and what God does to our lives.   He enhances us.   He improves us.    He makes us better than we were.    He beautifies us with His salvation.  

The opposite of enhancement means that you take away from the quality of something.   That the beauty is removed.  That instead of something becoming better......it diminishes.....it lessens.   The beauty is not seen.  

It's our choice.   Whether we want our lives to enhanced or diminished.   It is up to us whether we will allow God to cause us and everything around us to be seen through the beauty of Him rather than the way of the world.   

Everything that God does is good.   For that is who He is.   He is goodness.   Everything that God does is designed to bring us closer to who He is.   His will, His purpose, and His plan.  It is meant to enhance our lives.   To cause the beauty of our salvation to be seen.   To be visible to those around us.   To solidify who we are in Him.   To cause His love and His glory to be seen and felt by those around us.

The question for today is ...... will you allow God ..... the one who "was", who "is", and who "is to come" to enhance your life.   To beautify you.   To improve you.   To further you.   To move you to a place where you are no longer seen.....but He is being seen through you.   The choice is yours.

What Is It About To You?

What is it about to you?   Your walk with God?   Your salvation?   Your choices?    Is it about getting what you want or doing what God said?   Is about pleasing yourself or pleasing God?    What is it that you want to receive from God?   Is it about stuff?   Or hearing Him say......well done?

Our motives are based on our motivation.   What is the source of your motivation?   Is it God's Word?   Or is it your wants?   What is causing you to do the things that you do?  

It's time to check.   What's in your heart?   What is in your thoughts?   What is it that causes you pleasure?   The Word says that God has pleasure in the prosperity of His people.   When we hear that, we tend to think it's all about money.   God wants us to have whole life prosperity.   Health, Wealth, Peace, Love, Joy......completeness in Him.    So what is it that gives you pleasure?   What is it that motivates you to move?   Is it people, places, things?   Or is it God and His love for you?

It's time to get in a place where our sole motivation is based on who God is and what God has said.   That is the one thing in this life that will never change.   His Word is unchanging.   His ways are unchanging.    His love is unchanging.  

Let your motivation be to please Him.    Let your pleasure come from pleasing Him.   Let your life be a source of God's pleasure for it is His will to give you "whole life" prosperity ..... if  you let Him.   His ability to do that is based on the choices you make.   Will you choose to serve and surrender to Him?   Or will you choose to walk it out your way and seek your own source of motivation and pleasure?

The choice is yours.....it's all about "what's it about to you".   What salvation means to you.   What love means to you.   What peace means to you.   What joy means to you.   What prosperity means to you.    Just remember to "count up the cost".    What will it cost to live your life based on making your choices versus the choices that God has asked you to make?   The cost is always going to be your life.   The true question is will you walk as one of the redeemed or will you sell your soul?

When Will You Let Your Past Be Your Past?

Sometimes we try to carry along to much baggage.   We want to take everything with us wherever we go.   But that is not what God is telling us to do.   He has said to let go of what is behind and to follow Him.   But we want to pick up our cross and follow Him.   Do you know what the cross of Jesus represented?  It represented all your pain, all your sickness, all your disease, all your sin, all your debts......it represented it all.   So the question is......why are you picking up your cross with all these things on it.   Why do you keep picking up your past and trying to carry it with you in your purpose?

Your purpose is to represent who God is.   You can't represent God if you are covered with sin.   You can't represent God is you are bound by your sickness.   Allowing it to have control over your life.   It's time to let go. To leave the old baggage behind.   To stop trying to carry a load that you were never designed to carry.

Your purpose and your design was to carry who God is.   To show forth His glory to a dying world.   To show forth His praise in spirit and truth.   To go and tell the world of His goodness, His grace, and His mercy.

So make it your agenda today to leave your past behind ..... and to follow Him.   When you follow Christ you don't have to worry about your past overtaking you because you have already been overtaken by the blood.

God Rewards Our Expectancy....

2nd Post Today.....

God rewards our expectancy.   Are you expecting God to move for you today ..... or are you just wanting God to move?   When you expect something ..... you are looking forward to it and you are watching and waiting for it to happen.    When you want something to happen......it is no more than a desire.....there is no surety or expectancy in it.    

God wants you to expect Him today.   Remember.....He rewards your expectancy.   Your expectancy says that you believe Him and that you are watching and waiting on Him to move.  

What Is Your Next Step?

Now that you know who God is......what's next?    What do you do next?   Now that you have experienced His goodness, His grace, His mercy.   What do you do?

Do you go back to your old way of doing things?   Or do you change?   Do you change your thought process?  Your actions?   Your words?   Do you change your relationships or how you interact with those around you?   What do you do?  

God doesn't change....but we are ever changing.   We are being changed into the image of who God is.   Changed to be like Him....to act like Him.....to talk like Him.......and to love like Him.

The question is.....what's next for you?    What is your next step?   Do you believe and what will you do with the belief that you have?

Always remember.....what  you do with "what you know".....IS what matters.

What Is The Key To Your Worship?

A key is a device used to open up something.   A door.   An entrance.   An entryway.    What is the key to your worship?   To you accessing the throne room of God.   His love, His presence, His way.

What is the key to your praise?   The worship that is locked within  you.   The worship that is longing to break-through you.   

What will it take for you to release the praise within you?   To allow God to move through you.    To permeate who you are so that He can be who He is to you.   God says that He is looking for people that will worship Him in spirit and in truth.  

The key to your praise is in "spirit and truth".   In order to truly worship in the spirit......you must know God in truth.   Get into His word today......   Learn of Him.   So that your praise can be real.   So that it can be a part of who you are and not just what you do.   

True Worshippers.....

Your worship unlocks the doors to who God is.    It reveals Him and it reveals your love for Him.   It reveals Him in that He is truth.   But you also reveal your love to and for Him through your worship.    

Be real today.   Be a worshipper.   Let go and let God.   Express your love for Him, in Him, and through Him.   You express your love through Him when you pour out your love to others.

Life Is.....

Listen for the heartbeat of God.   What is on His heart?   What is the exchange that He is trying to make.   You can only exchange what you  have.   God is love.   So God wants to make a "love" exchange.   An exchange that says that you are beautiful, that says that you He will never leave you nor forsake you, that says that all that He is He gives to you.  

What are you willing to give or "give up" in exchange for His love?   It takes two people to make an exchange.  An exchange is an act of giving and receiving.    It is an act of sacrifice.    It is saying that "I sacrifice what I have in order to receive what you give".    It requires humility.   It requires "love".  

The question is......"Do You Love God Enough"?   He loves you uncompromisingly.    Do you love Him "enough" to lay down your agenda and to pick up His.

Don't Allow Your Belief To Stop At What Appears To Be......

John chapter 11 talks about Lazarus being sick and how Jesus waited for 2 days before going to see about him.   When Jesus arrived there was agreement in the place that said "if Jesus would have been there.....Lazarus would not have died".    There was agreement that death could not take place in the presence of God.   However, they didn't realize that the presence of God could take what was dead and cause it to become alive again.

A lot of times we look at situations in our lives as dead.   We don't see.....we can't see the hope inside of the situation.   However, we need to understand that not only can the presence of God keep death from coming....it can also take what appears to be dead and make it become alive again.  

God wants us to trust Him.   He wants us to believe in Him and the power that comes with knowing Him.   We have to understand that death has "no" hold on God and if God lives on the inside of us.....it has no hold on us.   God says that He cares for us.   Care means you supply the provision for what is necessary for the health, welfare, maintenance and protection of someone or something.  That is what God does for us.   We are maintained through and by Him.    In other words we are kept and carried through and by Him and His word.

To walk in faith means you see beyond what appears to be.   We have to stop looking at the appearance of a thing and begin to look at God in His totality.  When you look at the totality of God.....you see His omnipotence, you see His goodness, you see His grace.   You see Him for who He is.   When your focus is on Him.....you stop looking at your situation and move to a place of trusting Him to work out the situation for your good.  

Understand that every situation that you go through is ultimately to glorify God.    It is designed for you to step into a place of trust and rest.   A place that says that God is God and that you trust Him to work it out.   You rest in the knowledge of who He is and what He has already done.    Remember.........in order to rest in the knowledge of who He is.......you have to get to know Him.  

Trust God today.   Don't allow your belief to stop at the point of what appears to be.   Believe in the word that says that God is who He says He is..........and that He watches over His word to perform it in your life.

Do You "Mean" What You Say?

2nd Post Today....

We say.....where you go I will follow.   What you say......I will do.    Not my will but your will Father.   Not my way but your way.    The question is ..... do you really mean what you say?

Words can be spoken.....but do you "believe" what you are saying?   Do you "mean" what you are saying?  

If you tell God you will follow......why do you try to change the direction when He leads you down the road of righteousness?   When He tells  you to be a blessing to someone......why do you rationalize and ignore what He is telling you to do?   When you say not my will but your will Father......why is it that your will always becomes the one to manifest?   When you say not your way but God's way.......why is it that in most cases the way that you choose is a result of what your flesh wanted to do?

When it's all said and done......   When the results are in...... Was the result a manifestation of what you wanted to do or what God was telling  you to do?    When you open up your mouth and you praise God for what He has done.......was it because He had to rescue you or because you walked in obedience.    

It's time to live out our lives in obedience and not be dependent upon God's rescue.    Because God loves us....when we call upon Him.....He WILL answer.  But we have to get to a place where we live in obedience and utilize His rescue for emergency situations.    Our lives should not be a series of rescues.   Jesus has already rescued us when He died on the cross.   Why are we continuing to step back into the fire that we have already been redeemed from?   Why are we living in the place of penalty rather than the place of redemption?

When you are penalized......it means you are punished.   Whereas when you are redeemed.....you are set free.  We have to get the place of understanding that we are no longer under the penalty of sin and death.   We have been set free by the redeeming blood of Jesus Christ.    

When will we get to the place where we know that God is our shield, protector, and guide?   When will we get to the place where our words have meaning?   Where we "mean" what we say and do what we "mean"?  When you "mean" to do something.....YOU DO IT ON PURPOSE.

What Are You Thinking About?

When you stop and think about God....what comes to mind?   Do you think about how He loves you?   Do you think about how He sent His son to die on a cross for you?   Do you think about His goodness?   His grace?   His peace?  His power?   What do you think about when you think about God?

Do you think about Him as Jehovah Jireh (your provider)......Jehovah Shalom (your peace)?

What do you think about when you think about God?

Make God the center of your thoughts today.....Think on His goodness, His grace, His power, His peace, His joy, His understanding, His friendship, His greatness, His strength, His love.   Think on the one who gave His all for you.  

Let your thoughts be full of who God is and what He has done ..... just for YOU.   Make it personal today.   Think on "these things".......to the point where "these things" become the basis of your thoughts.

Predetermined Passion.....

What is your predetermined passion?   What is it that you have made up in your mind that you are going to be passionate about?   What are those things that you have decided that you are going to pursue?   Are those things related to the fire that God has placed within you .... or are they a result of your own predetermined plan?

How often do we sit around and think and decide what we are going to do and exactly how we are going to do it?   We determine based on our past experience ..... what our future will be.    We determine based on past relationships what we want our next relationship to be.....and so it is with the other areas of our life.   We try to plan and determine our future outcomes based on our past experience.    When God is trying to use our past experience to be what guides us to His perfect plan.   

How often do you make up in your mind ....... "this is how it will work out next time.....if I do this, this, and this"?    How often does it really work that way?   That's because it is not based on what you decide for your own life.   How you have determined it to be.   The thing that you are passionate about ..... unless it is a passion for the things of God usually doesn't work out the way you thought it would.

God wants us to be passionate about Him......about His people.....about His plan.   He wants the fire inside of us to be the one that He ignites.   He wants the pursuit to be after Him and not our own plan or the things we have allowed our flesh to determine for us.   Our own selfish wants and desires.      

Stop trying to work it all out all by yourself.    In most cases that will only lead to greater disappointment.   Any plan that does not include God's purpose.....will ultimately not be fulfilled to the fullest.    We are at a time now where the path is coming closer to an end.   When you get to the end of a path.....there are less "alternate routes".   Less opportunities to stray ..... to do our own thing.   Time is important....."timing" is imperative.   

The people.....the places......the things that are on your path......God has set there for a reason.    They are waiting ....... waiting to be a part of what God has predetermined for "your" life.     To help you fulfill divine purpose and not self or "selfish" decisions.  

Let your passion be that you are "passionate" about God.   Let your predetermination be that you will follw Him no matter what.    Let your focus be to stay where He has placed you and not to determine your own way to try to get to your own end result.  

The whole purpose for you being in the earth is to magnify who He is.    We magnify Him through what we do.....what we say.....how we act.....and how we react.......

So.....if you have to predetermine something in your life today......let it be to pursue God.    Let God be the end result of everything you do today.....whether it be for yourself or for someone else.    Let your passion be that you are "passionate" about your Lord, your King, and your Savior.   The one who died for you.....so that you could live for Him.    Let it be that the one thing that you predetermine to do is to be passionate about Him.

It's not an easy thing to do.   But whoever said life would be easy.    There is one requirement in this life that we all should do ......and that requirement is to receive Jesus and to die to self......so that you can truly live in Him.......

Can You Really Take A Stand For What You Believe?

So often we say we believe one thing but when it comes to it.....when the test is really there....it shows that we really don't believe what we said.   Maybe it's that we want to believe.   Or maybe even that we think we believe.   But the result is always made manifest in our actions.......in our response......

It's the same with those who say they love you.   Who claim they have your back.    Their love.....or should I say the extent of their love.....is revealed when they have to give a response.    When they have to back you up and be your support.    It is usually at those points that  you understand that true love.....ultimate support.....can only come from God.

It's when the people you thought.....the people you believe in......fail to be and to do "what you thought".    When their response goes against what you thought to be true.   When the support system that "you thought" you had becomes weak.   It's usually at that point that we turn to God.

We have to get to a place where we stay focused on God in every area.   He is the only one who will always give you a "love response".   A response that supports and gives.    A response that is based on His love for you and nothing else.

After you understand and know the "response of God".......you have to become the "God response" for someone else.   A person that people can trust.   A person that people can believe in.   A person who doesn't change daily but one who stands on what they believe.  A person living a life that lines up with who God is.   Remember.....God is love.....so your reflection should always be love.   The thing that people see should always be the "love of God".

Let your response line up with your belief.   Let it be who God is.....Let it be "love".

Unfortunately we live in a world where people have to "see it to believe it".   Where it's very hard for people to accept what you "say" to be true.    We live in a place where people are looking for sense realm evidence to confirm what you say to be true.   The question is.....can they believe your life?   Or should I say.....what are you causing them to believe based on your life......your lifestyle?

Jesus told the Jews in John chapter 10.....if they didn't believe what He said.....at least believe the works that He did.  

Are the things that you do.....your actions.....in alignment with what you are saying?   Do they line up with the God words that you speak.    The truth that you are saying to convince others that God is true.   What you do....how you respond....always reveals what you believe to be true.  

If you tell people to trust God......do they see you trusting Him?    If you tell people that God will provide.....do they see you waiting on His provision......and do you share your testimony when the breakthrough comes.  

When will we get to a point where what we do lines up with what we say?   People need to see and to know that what you say and what you do "are one".    That there is no double standard.   You have to get to a place where the principle that you say to be true is the same principle that you live by.    

Watch your own life today.....Listen to your own words today.....Allow them to reflect back to you.    See what others see.   Hear what others are hearing.   What image do you truly reflect?   Is the image that your reflect of God distorted or deformed in any way?   Or is the picture of who He is based on what you say and do clear?   Can people truly see Him in you?  

We all reflect.....but we have to stop portraying a distortion of who He is.   When something is distorted.....it is twisted.   It gives a false or misleading representation of what is supposed to be true.  

Are you distorting the image of who God is through what you say and do?  Let your life be one that is clear....where people can "hear" and "see" exactly what you represent.   Unchanging.....Unmoving......Always Declaring The Works Of The Lord!

Where Is Your Comfort Zone? Have You Found Comfort In Sin or Is Your Comfort In God? Are You Quitting The Wrong Thing?

How hard is it for you to quit?   Sometimes it seems like we have it backwards.   We tend to quit on the things God is telling us to do that...
