Broken.....So That Others Can See The God In You....

What kind of vessel do you think God wants to use?   We tend to think that He wants to use perfect vessels.   Those that can quote the right scripture or give the best sermon (which in some cases sounds like the best speech).   We think that God is looking for someone that has it all together.   Whereas, God is actually looking for those that are broken.  

Brokenness....One definition of brokenness is  "subdued completely; humbled".   To be broken....to be in pieces.  When a horse is trained, he is also said to be broken.   Brokenness is not necessarily a bad thing.

I was listening to someone yesterday on a video and she was talking about brokenness.   She said that when we are broken.....that is when the God in us can be seen.    That is when the light that is in us can be seen on the outside.

It is when we have needs and desires in our lives that people tend to see our faith the most.   When we need to be healed....that is we pray more.   When we have a financial need....that is when we seek God more.   When God moves on our behalf.....that is when we testify more.   All of this is part of the breaking process.  
God ultimately wants us to a place where we are completely broken.   Where people can look and see that we live a life a faith and trust in Him.    A place of humility and awareness of who He is and what He has done for our lives.

Be broken today....so that others can see the God in you.    Pray whether you have a need or not.   Believe whether you have a need or not.   Sometimes you may have to believe for others.   Trust whether you can see God moving or not.    Your brokenness is not for you.   It is so that others can see the God in you.  

Trust and believe and God will do.......

Are You Pliable?

Maybe the better question is are you pliable to God?   Pliable means to be easily bent or shaped.   It means to adapt.   To be molded or drawn out.   It means you have the capability of being bent, flexed or twisted without being broken.   It means that you are capable of being led and directed.

Pliability can work negatively or positively.   It is all determined by what is leading you.   What is directing you.   Or should I say who.    Are you allowing your thoughts to be pliable?    Are they being bent or shaped towards God or the things of the world?   Are your footsteps.....the places you go and the things you do....being led an directed by God or the things of the world?  

We have to know what is directing us?  What is driving us to do what we do?    A good way to check what  is directing you is to look at the fruit that it is producing.  

Are the shows you are watching on TV producing God thoughts or thoughts pertaining to the things of the world?   How about the music you are listening to?    The people that you hang around?    The books you are reading?    After you have spent time doing these things.....what is the end result?   Has your relationship with God and your understanding of His plan and purpose for your life increased or are you lost still looking for the direction you are supposed to go.  

The time is drawing near and no day is promised on the earth.   Everything that we do matters to God.   Everything that we say.....bears fruit.   Our life.....and the end of our life....is determined by our walk of obedience.    And our obedience is a result of our pliability.  

So the question again is ......

Are you pliable to the things of GOD or the world?

"God Can Heal....He Can Deliver"

Ministered By Byron Cage

We have to become pliability.   Just as you knead dough for it to be easier to work with.   We have to understand that God is kneading us.   We are being pressed and pulled in various directions in order for us to be pliable.   

Give Yourself Away.....There Are No Reserves In God!

How hard is it to serve God?   To do what He says and to live according to His word.   To walk as He says walk.  To talk as He says talk.   To trust Him above everyone and everything else in your life. 

It's not easy to let go and let God.   But it is required.   It is a necessity.   It is essential. 

God requires that we see as He sees and serve as He serves.   In other words.....He wants us to help and provide for the needs of those around us.   Just as He provides for our needs.   He wants us to encourage others.....just as He encourages us.  

Everything that God is.....He wants us to be.   We are His representatives here on the earth.   Serve God today by serving others.   Love as He loves.   Give as He gives.   Talk as He talks.   Walk as He walks.

Life is only hard when you try to do it by yourself.    No one needs to feel alone.   Take time to pour out the Love of God to someone else today.   There are no reserves in God.   God continuously pours out on us.....we are to continuously pour out to others.   

Give Yourself Away Today!

Is It Really More That You Need.....Or Just God That You Need?

Sometimes you wonder if what you are doing is the right thing.   If what you are doing is enough.   Sometimes  you think that you should be doing more.   But what is more?   Who determines what more is?  

Is it really more that you need or just God that you need?   God specializes in using the least?   Whether it be spiritually or financially.   He takes the little and makes it more than enough.   It's all a part of your faith.    He wants to show you that He is "enough".   That if you have Him, it is not the little bit that matters.   But He is always more than enough.  

Stop looking at what you have and what you don't have.    Stop trying to compare your anointing with someone else's anointing.  Stop trying to determine whether you can make it on the money that you have.   Just know.....if you have God.....you have more than enough.   

This walk is not based on appearance.   The way that a situation appears to be.   It is based on reality and the reality is that God is more than enough.    He is your specialist today.   He is devoted to making sure that you have all you need to accomplish the plan and the purpose that He has designated for your life.  

To God......in God's eyes......He has already determined that you deserve nothing less than His best and He has already given that.   Shall He not supply everything else you need?  Whether you need to minister to someone or whether you need to pay a bill.   God has placed in you a supply.   That supply is Him.   The Holy Spirit that dwells on the inside of you.   Draw from the fountain within.   From that fountain comes wisdom and insight.   From that fountain comes direction and peace.   From that fountain comes the voice of God.  

Know the course and direction that God is taking your life.    Know the supply has already been appropriated (designated with you in mind).   The only requirement and stipulation that is necessary to have access to your personal supply is "faith".   A trust and belief in God who is more than enough.

Do We Really Have Daily Moments With God? .... Written By Alexis Moore

Lately I have been taking the time to sit and talk to God.  Sometimes I dont think we realize the importance of having time with God.  Even outside of a devotional, we should sit and listen to what God has to say. A lot of times with devotionals we limit ourselves due to time......... or because its just easier.

However, imagine spending every day with God reading the scripture He has you to turn to.   I believe if we all did this we would become much more effective Christians.  We would better know the word of God and more importantly we would develop a relationship with Him......much deeper than just reading the Bible.....but listening to God.    Listening to God is so vital to living a Christian life.

Today I encourage you to talk to God, then sit and wait to hear what "He" has to say and what "He" has you to read.  Each day you will get a new revelation and it is always refreshing to spend time with Him.

Don't limit your time with Him and He won't limit his revelation to you.

He desires to say so much to us.......but do we make the time to hear Him?

Encouraging Word Given By God To.....
Alexis Moore

What Life Are You Living? Are You Living "In" God?

"Paul said that the life he lived, he lived by faith in the Son of God....the one who loved Him and gave Himself for Him......that he walked by faith and not by sight."

What life are you living?   Are you living a life of faith in the one that loved you and gave himself for you.   The same Jesus died for you and for Paul.   Therefore, the same requirement stands.   The requirement of walking by faith and not by sight.  

When you say that you are "in" something.   You are saying that you are enclosed or surrounded by something else.    Paul said that he lived "by" faith "in" the Son of God.   This tells us how Paul lived and where Paul lived.    How are you living?   Are you living by faith.....where you trust and believe what God has said?  Are you living in God......where you are enclosed and surrounded by His will, his plan, and His purpose?  

Two essential words.   "By" and "In".    Always check yourself to see whether you are living "by" faith "in God" or "in your own choices".    See whether your life is enclosed and surrounded by God's plan and His purpose or your plan and your purpose.  

God designed this life with you in mind.   He designed so that you would have an avenue to help you in times of trouble.   To heal you when you are sick.   To give you a place of comfort when you are lonely.   He designed it so that He could be everything that you will ever need.   

The questions is.....will you let Him?
