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".

What Do You Do When You Are Not Sure What To Do?

In the midst of all the trials that come with life, what do you do when you don’t know what to do?   Do you quit?   Do you give in?   Do you...
