Time To Build Up....Not Hoard Up.....

If you are called to build up and repair.....what are you doing?   Are you helping to build up others?   Are you helping to mend the down trodden and broken hearted?   Or are you self motivated and self initiated?   There is brokenness all around us.   The question is are we reaching out?   Better yet.....are we pouring out?  

Our mission should not be to be full of God.   It should be to see how much of the God in us we can pour out.   Pour out on the lives of those that are hurting.   Pour out on the lives of those that are lost.   Pour out on the lives of those that are broken.  

Our mission is to GIVE.... not to GET.    Our mentality has to change.    We ask God for more of Him.....which is good.   The question is.....what are we doing with the more.   Are we hoarding it?   Piling it up for ourselves.   Or are we allowing the overflow to touch the lives of those around us?

God wants to give us more of Him.....but the more is not for our own personal gain and use.   It is so that we can satisfy the needs of those around us.   The need for comfort, for peace, for compassion, for change.    You have the answer residing on the inside of you for the worlds problems.    Be a resource.   Be a river that flows into the life of someone else today.    Let them freely drink from the God that is in you.

Understand The Plan

Is it your job to know the plan or to understand the plan?  In Jeremiah 29, God says.....I know the plans I have for you................

If it's God's job to know the plan....then what is your position?   Your position is to understand the plan.   To understand  that God's desire is to bless you.   To give you a hope and an expected end.   An expectancy.   So again I ask, if it is God's job to know....what is your job?  Your job is to understand.

Your hope, your trust, your expectancy is to be rooted in God and God alone.

He knows the plan.....He has the blueprint.....and He will lead you.    All you have to do is lay down your plan....get rid of your agenda.....and put your total trust in Him.

What Are You Looking For?

What is your motive behind what you are doing today?    For those around  you.   Your family, your friends,  your co-workers, the stranger you just happen to meet......  Are you looking for self recognition?   Are you looking for self accomplishment?   Are  you wanting accolades from them or God?   The scripture on Bible.com today was ....

"Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves."  Philippians 2:3  
There are many key words in this scripture that we need to understand.
  • Strife is angry or bitter disagreement.  
  • Vain is to be excessively proud of your own abilities, accomplishments, or beliefs.
  • Glory means honor, praise, or distinction.
  • Lowliness is the state of being humble or unimportant.
  • Mind is the part of us that thinks, feels, wills, perceives, and judges.
  • Esteem is to regard highly or favorably with respect and admiration.
  • Better means in a greater degree.
So God is telling us let nothing that we do be done out of angry or  bitter disagreement.   We are not to be excessively proud in our own abilities, accomplishments, or beliefs and bestow honor and praise on what we have done.    Instead we are to be humble and consider ourselves as unimportant in what we think, feel, will or perceive.   We are to regard others more highly and favorably than ourselves by treating them with respect and admiration in a degree which is greater than we consider ourselves to be.

Believe His Word today.....
Do His Word today.....

"Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God,
that He might exalt you at the proper time..." (I Peter 5:6)

Prophecy Fulfilled......Do You Believe God?

What all does God want?   What all does God desire from you?   What time are we in?   What season are we walking through in life?   The Bible says that times and seasons are in God's hands.    Are you walking under the direction and protection of God?  

Direction......the management, supervision, or instruction for an action or operation.   

Protection.....to keep from suffering harm or injury. 

If we step back and look at the things that are happening in the atmosphere.   The storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.   We can realize the biblical prophecy that is coming to pass.   What we have to understand is that God's word is true and His prophecy will come to pass.    We pray .... let the storms stop .... but we already know from reading the Bible that these things shall come to pass.   Yes we need to pray for the storms to cease but we must be sure to pray for God's direction and protection during this season.  

Our direction has to be one in which God manages us....God supervises us....and God instructs us.    We have to be covered by His protection to insure that we are kept from suffering harm or injury.  

If you have lived your life in partiality......partly serving God and partly serving the world.    Now is the time to make a decision.   Choose this day who you will serve.....Let your footsteps be ordered and your path be straight.   Let your covering be God and God alone.    Let the blood of Jesus be upon the doorpost of your house .... so that destruction will pass over you and your house.   

This is real.....we are living in biblical prophecy.    God always sends signs and provides warnings.    It is up to us as to whether we want to listen and obey.    The question is will you be like Noah or the people?   Same scenario.....different people.   Noah believed God and walked in obedience.   The people did not.  

The choice today is yours....

Hope For The Lonely.....

God has given many of us talents, gifts, and abilities.   But it is up to us to use what He has given us.   Obedience is what is key.  Are we willing to do what He says when He says do it.   How many of us know that God has told us something to do....yet we still haven't done it.   God said if we obey Him....He will bless our land.....(that's everything and everyone that concerns us)......

 
I thank Him today for blessing my niece.....She has obeyed God and wrote a book that reaches out to the singles.   How many of us need to know or be reminded that there is "Hope For The Lonely".   It's not God's desire that you be alone....but what is He trying to perfect in you while you are alone?  

 
If you are single or someone you know is single...consider getting this book or sowing the seed of the Word into someone elses life.  

 
                 "Hope For The Lonely"

 
In Hope For The Lonely, Jacqui Moore shares the wisdom and knowledge God has given her about what it means to wait and how to wait on God for your mate.

 
God longs to be gracious to us and grant us the desires of our hearts but there are lessons we need to learn in life first.  If you are lonely, frustrated, and tired of waiting this book will reveals mysteries concerning….

  • What it means to seek God first and foremost
  • Your purpose living single and purpose in a relationship
  • How to spend your time waiting
  • How to cover your relationship once God has answered your prayers for a mate
  • What it means to have hope and faith in a God who is faithful
If you desire answers to the questions why do I have to wait, how do I wait, and how do I handle my relationship once the wait is over you will appreciate this book.

 
Jacqui Moore desires to share the wisdom and knowledge God has given her as she has lived the single life. Jacqui knows how it feels to be lonely, frustrated, and tired with waiting. Jacqui hopes this encourages you and gives you a hope as you grow in knowing that God has not forsaken you.

God Wants Us Complete In Him....

Complete means whole.   Lacking no elements.   Entire.  

God wants us to be complete in Him.   When we say we are complete in Him, we are saying that we are whole.   That we lack no elements.   That we are not broken or decayed.   When something is decayed, it is rendered useless.  

We have to understand that in God we have everything that we need.   The resources are available to accomplish everything that we need to in this life in Him.    We just have to do it in Him and for Him.  So many times we step out to accomplish things in life but we are doing them in self.  

Our primary goal is self righteousness and self accomplishment.   That is not God's will, purpose or plan.   He wants us to understand that He created us to rely on Him.   To accomplish great things through Him.   To reveal to the world Him.  

When the light shines......the only reflection that people need to see is the God in you.   Because this life is not about us....it about showing others God in us.

What Changes Things?

What changes things?   What changes how you think....and how you feel?   What changes your life?    What changes the way you see life?    What changes your joy into mourning?   What are you allowing to change your peace into turmoil?   Your faith into fear?  

What have you given that much authority to in your life?

God changes NOT.   Nothing shakes who He is or what He has said.   We are to be like Him.   We cannot allow people, places, or things to shake or shape how we act, think, see, or feel.   Unshakable faith.   Unmoved belief.    Understanding that what God says is FINAL.  

God says that you are blessed....that's FINAL.   God said that you are loved....that's FINAL.   God said that He will take care of you....that's FINAL.    UNSHAKABLE FAITH.   UNMOVED BELIEF.

All that you are .... is what God created you to be.   All that you need ... is already supplied by God.   However, it is up to you to access it.   Your FAITH....Your STAND....Your BELIEF are all keys to getting into the place of provision.  

Don't allow anything or anyone to change what you believe.  Let the Word be final authority in your life.   What God has SAID to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David and the prophets of old still stands for your life today.  

We must understand the true power of God's words.....Just as He spoke the world into existence.   The world is still standing.   The heavens, the earth, light and darkness are still in place .... just as God spoke them to be when He created the world.    So it is with His word concerning His people.    IT HAS NOT CHANGED.   So don't allow the things of the world to change you.

Trust and believe and watch and see the salvation of the Lord.....
          .............the SOTERIA of God........meaning the deliverance, preservation, and safety of God!
