Just Trust God.....

Not everyone is going to do what you do.   Not everyone is going to hear like you.   Not everyone is going to obey like you.   And there will be things....you just won't understand.

The thing is.....God did not call you to decipher (to understand and interpret) why someone else does what they do.   He has called you to understand and trust Him.   His way, His plan, and His purpose.    We are spending to much time and to much energy on seeking to understand people and not enough time on seeking God.

Trust comes when you rely on the ability, reliability, truth, and strength of something or someone.   We have to learn to put our trust "totally" in God.   For He is truth and He is strength and He is reliable and He alone is able.   Frustration is the feeling of being upset or annoyed because we are unable to change something or someone.    God did not call us to change people.   They too have to be reliant on God and have to trust Him.   We can only trust God for ourselves.   Our trust is always based on whether we receive or reject what God has said and is saying in our lives.

Don't allow someone else's attitude and actions to dictate your day or your life.   Don't allow their inability to show love be the reason you fail to walk in love.   Or their inability to give be the reason you don't give.  Put your life totally in the hands of God.   Be determined to fulfill His plan and His purpose for "your" life.   Walk the walk He has told you to walk.   Talk the talk He has told you to talk.   Be the person that He has created you to be.   

When it comes to those around you that you just don't understand.......just pray.   Prayer is the tool that God has given us so that we can put things in His hands.   After you have prayed....then just trust.    Remember when you trust God, you are saying that you believe in His ability, reliability, truth, and strength for you and those around you.

Through It All.....Have You Learned To Trust In God?

Is there a meaning behind your trial?  So many times we go through.   But the question is  how do we come out?  Do we  come out stronger?   Do we come out wiser?  Do we come out with more knowledge and more understanding?   Do we come out revived, refreshed, and renewed?   Do we come out with power and might?  

It's not about the battle that you're in.   It's all about the victory that "has already been won".  

Just One More Question For Today....

Through It All.....
Have You Learned To Trust In God and Depend Upon His Word?

"Through It All"

Ministered By CeCe Winans & Andre Crouch

What Badge Are You Wearing?

A badge is a distinguishing emblem or mark that is worn to signify a membership, employment, or achievement.   It reveals  who you are and what you believe and stand for.  So the question today is who or what are you standing for?   What badge are you wearing?   Are you wearing a badge of pride and self worth?   Or are you wearing a badge of humility and Jesus worth?

God has given us all authority....yet how we use that authority is left up to us.    How we stand and who we stand for......is a choice.   We choose to believe, we choose to take a stand, we choose to give, and we choose to live.  How we live and our "stance" is left up to us.    God has already pointed us in the direction we should go and He has already told us to choose life.....but He has placed the power and the authority to do so in us.    The choice is ours.   

When I look at an officer (whether police, fire, sheriff, etc.), I immediately see a person of authority.   A person who has been put in charge.   God has given us a badge of authority.   He has given us a "charge".   Just as there are officers that misuse their authority........we also can misuse the authority given to us.   

We must begin to take our "charge" seriously.    Charge means that you have been imposed a duty, responsibility, or obligation.    The badge that you have been given is the "blood".   It is not like the officers badge  only worn on the chest.   The blood is designed for  you to be clothed in it.   From head to toe.   Not only is it designed for you to be clothed in it.   It is also designed to be "applied" to situations and circumstances in your life as well.   This is so that when the enemy comes around, He immediately knows the authority, power, and influence that you have been endowed with.

The biggest problem we have is that we don't "apply" the blood.   The blood has to be applied.    Just as an officer has to wear his badge in order for him to enforce authority.   You have to "put on" and "put into action" the blood of Jesus in your life.   

Apply the blood today.   Walk in the power and authority you have been given.   Do not nullify (counteract the force or effectiveness of) the blood of Jesus in your life.  Remember.....the blood was shed for all of us.

Are You Willing To Stand In The Winds, Earthquakes, and Fires Of Life?

Isn't it funny how God can do so much for you and yet  you still run and hide.   You still don't fully trust Him to be who He says He is in your life.    God used Elijah to do great miracles.   He called fire from heaven and it consumed not only the sacrifice but everything the sacrifice laid on and everything surrounding the sacrifice....even the dust.   Even after a move of God like this....the words of the enemy (in this case Jezebel) caused Elijah to run in fear for his life.  

How many times has God moved in your life and you have seen Him do the miraculous?   Deliver you when you didn't have a way out.   Heal you when you were sick.   Sustain you when you had nothing.    YET.....you still run.   You still don't trust Him.    Although He has done so much  for YOU....you still struggle with your faith.  

When Elijah ran from Jezebel, God sent for Him and asked Him why was He at that place?   The place of unbelief....of doubt....of not trusting.    Why had he journeyed back into the wilderness and into a cave after he had just set other people free?   Are we doing that?   Are we helping others to become free .... yet staying in bondage ourselves?   Better yet.....are we making excuses to God as to why we are there?   Why we are walking in "faith failure".....fear and lack of trust rather than walking in "fullness of faith".

When God called Elijah out, he told him to go and stand on the mount.   The mount is a high place....a place of elevation.   While standing there the wind, the earthquake, and the fire all came.   But God was not in any of that.    How many of us would stand in the midst of strong wind......would stand in the midst of an earthquake.....would stand in the midst of fire ..... knowing that God was not there?   How many of us would stand still in the place that God told us to go until we heard Him speak .... telling us what we are to do next?

Elijah went to the place God told him to go and He STOOD STILL until he heard the voice of the Lord.    He didn't run.....He didn't quit.....He stood.    That's what God wants from us.   He want us to stand.  He doesn't want us to run in the face of adversity.   He wants us to stand where He is placing us and to trust that He won't let anything harm us.    He wants our direction to come from Him.

The question now is  .... are you willing to stand against the enemies of life that are trying to dictate to you your situation and allow God to use you for His plan and purpose in the earth.    How you "react" and how you "respond" are always acts of  YOUR will.

No Longer Dormant....The Process Of Germination Has Begun!

The process of germination is the process in which a seed which has been laying dormant begins to come into existence.    When something is dormant, it is alive but not actively growing.   

What in your life has been dormant?  Has been alive but not growing.    Not seeing or experiencing increase.    Is it your spiritual life?   We tend to always look at increase as financial.   But God wants us to look at our entire life to see if we are experiencing growth.   Growth is the process of develooping physically, mentally, and spiritually.   In order to develop properly, you need to develop in all areas.    What happens if your head grows and the rest of your body stays small.   Or if your body grows and your feet stay small.   You wouldn't be balanced.  

The same with your spiritual life.   The Word is alive inside of you.   There are areas of  your life that have been in a "consequential dormancy" state.   Consequential dormancy is defined as a dormant state that occurs after experiencing adverse conditions.   We have had things come against our lives and into our environment that are not conducive with God's will, purpose and plan which has caused us to become dormant.   To stop growing.  But the conditions are now changing.   The atmosphere is now changing.   It's time to grow again.    To be rooted, grounded, and nourished. 

The adverse conditions have nothing to do with your present state.    Where you are now and where God is taking you.   They don't play a part in your destiny.   The awesome thing is that God did not allow you to die in  your dormant state.   The process of growth was just slowed down until the conditions......the atmosphere.....the environment became conducive to God's will, purpose, and plan for your life.   

Know that domancy is now over and your process of germination has began.......

"You Can Begin Again"

Ministered By the Daystar Singers

When will we begin to take on a cause greater than ourselves?

When will we begin to take on a cause greater than ourselves?   Greater than our will, our plan, our emotions.   Greater than Our Lives.    Our God is greater.   Greater than we can ever perceive.   He wants to accomplish great things in the earth and He wants to use you to do it.    Greatness is not what we can do.   Greatness is who we are when we allow God to have precedence in our lives.   Put on your armor today....put on Jesus   Be clothed with Him (His plan, His purpose, His will) and be kept by Him.    As you put on Jesus..............."He" can then accomplish great things in the earth. 


***2nd Post For Today....Please Be Sure To Read The Post Below .... "It's Time To Remove The Disguise"

It's Time To Remove The Disguise.....

It's time to remove the disguise.  Those things that you do or put on in order to prevent someone from recognizing who you really are or what you really believe.    We have to understand that God sees all and knows all.   He see beyond the fronts.   The parades or the presentations.   He sees the heart of a man. 

We have to get to the place where nothing else matters but God's perception of who we are and what we desire.    It doesn't matter what Mary, Larry, or Sue thinks because our salvation is in God.   Our walk is in God.   Our pretense.....our attempt to make something appear to be true that is not is really futile.   It is pointless because God sees the truth.   He sees and knows where or what the root of every living thing is planted in.    It is either rooted in him or in the things of the world.

It's time to remove the mask.   Not so you that God can see who you are....and not so others can see who you are.....but so that you can see who you are.

Get to a place where you live your life on a "what you see is what you get basis".   Where you are the same no matter what environment you are in.       Where you change not.   You were not called or created to be a chameleon (changing and inconsistent).    You were not called to deceive (to give a false impression or to deceive).   You were called to be a light and reflection of God.

The thing about the light of God is that it shines through and reveals everything else.   Which means.....the mask.....the disguise serves no purpose.
