Are You Willing To Yield Your Life To Be Led By God? Making Our Worship, Works, and Words About Him.....

What are you doing?   Are you laying down your life to worship the King?   Not just any king....but God the King.    You have to understand that a king is a ruler of a group.    The group that you have joined will determine the king that you worship.   Have you come to the understanding that God is King of kings and Lord of lords?   Until you get that revelation and it becomes a reality in your life....you will waver as to what authority you come under and adhere to.   

Every day we come in contact with a wavering generation.   People that are undecided as to who and what they believe.   How do you help them?   Do you display and reflect your stand?   When something is on display .... it is placed in a proper position for others to see and admire.   Does your display reflect who God is?   Are people able to draw God's goodness, grace, and mercy from  your life?   Or are you displaying the character of another king?   

It's time we fully come into the fold of God.   To make our worship, our works, and our words about Him.   To reflect His life and His light so that we can be placed on display for Him.   Understand today that worship is a sacrifice.....it is a process of yielding.   When you yield.....you slow down or stop in order to let someone or something else pass.   We have to begin to yield to God.   To let His word, His will, and His plan go before what we want and desire to do.  

Yielding is a life process.   It is a dying process.   It is a process that says within itself....not my will but thy will be done.     In order to be led....you must make up in your mind that you will follow.      Determine today that you will follow God.   His plan, His purpose, and His will for your life.

Are You Haphazardly Agreeing or Are Your Decisions Lining Up With God's Word?

Are you agreeing just to agree?   Or do you really believe?   Do you believe that God loves you?   Do you believe that His Son died for you?   Do you understand  what you say you believe?   How many times in life do we just agree?  When someone says something .... we may not even hear what they are saying .... we just agree.   Whether it be shaking our head in acknowledgement or just because we want them to stop talking .... there are many times in our lives where we say okay or amen to something that we really should not be agreeing with.   

Why do you think we do that?   Why do you think we agree with things that we should oppose?   In most cases it is to avoid conflict.    But what we have to understand is that we are called to take a stand.   To stand on what we say we believe is true.   To stand without wavering.   To waiver means to fluctuate between possibilities.  We have to determine what our possibilities and impossibilities are.   We need to get to a place where it is impossible to shift us on what we say we believe.   Where it is impossible to agree with something that is not lining up with God's word.    People need to understand that your "stand" is real.   That you won't back off of your foundation in God.    They need to see the "surety" in you.    The part of you that says ..... wait....that's not lining up in my spirit or with what I believe to be true...so I can't agree with it.

We have to move from haphazardly agreeing.   Haphazardly means random or unselective agreement.   It means that we make no distinctions in our answers or our choices.   We have to understand that our distinctions should be noticeable.   When you have been around people for an extended period of time, they should know the result of your choices even before you confirm them.    They should know because there should be a consistent pattern to your lifestyle and the decisions you make.   Every choice and every decision should line up with the measuring stick of God's word.  

So step out of the box today.   The box is where you are surrounded and closed in based on other peoples opinions of how you feel and where you stand.    Understand that you are standing in Him.   You have to determine who you want to please.  God or man?  Be careful about the choices you make.....because the choices you make will determine your stand and placement in God.   In other words....making a bad choice can take you "out" of the will of God.   Whereas, making decisions for Him only moves you closer to Him.

Learn How To React To His Goodness, His Grace, His Love, and His Mercy .... Rather Than Your Pain.....

Looking back what do you see?   Do you see hurt, pain, discouragement and despair?   Or do you see God?   Do you see His deliverance?   Do you see His grace?   His Power?   How about His protection?  

We have to learn to see through the eyes of God.   We have to understand that we are His children and the sheep of His pasture?   A shepherd cares for His sheep.   If one gets injured or hurt in any way....He cares for them.   He doesn't abandon His flock based on their pain or inability to move as fast as others.   He does what is necessary to carry them and keep them safe and warm until they are able to get past whatever it is that is causing them pain.  

That's God.   He has not abandoned you.    Things you thought you would never make it through....God has carried you through them.    What we tend to do is give reactions based on our pain.   We tend to overlook the fact that we made it out of whatever attack the enemy had planned for us and we meditate on the things that were coming against us rather than the deliverance that God provided for us. 

Switch your reaction today.   React to His goodness, His grace, His love and His mercy.   Stop reacting to the pain.   Understand that your pain is only temporary but God's goodness, grace, love, and mercy endures forever.   

Know that you are blessed.   Know why you are blessed.   You are blessed in order to be a blessing.   Know that you trial and your affliction are lessons that you too will teach.   Understand that you teach by your response.   When people see how you respond to pain....it allows them to see who God is and the peace of God that passes all of our understanding.   

When you stop today and look back over your life.....choose to see and respond to His goodness, His grace, His love, and mercy.

Start Looking At Your Hindrances As An Opportunity For You To Be A "Testament" Of God's Word.....You Are The Proof That He Wants To Use To Establish His Word.....

When will you see as God sees?   We are consistently looking at things through our own perception.   Another word for perception is impression.   It is our own attitude or understanding on what is observed or thought.   When we look at lack, we ask God why based on what we see and what we understand.   The same with sickness or disease.  What we have to begin to do is to look at these situations as opportunities instead of hindrances.   Opportunities for God to move.   Opportunities for God to manifest.   Opportunities to be used by God to reveal His glory.   No....we don't want to be comfortable in these situations....for it is only an opportunity for you to stand in faith and apply God's word.    Your testimony is the testament of God's glory.    The word testament means "proof".   God is using you as His proof that He is who He said He is and that He will do what He said He would do.   

What we have to do is understand the application of God's word.   We already have everything we need in order to show ourselves strong.   Strong in what we say and what we believe.   Faith is the key and the word is the answer.    Understand the key unlocks the door to where the word abides and is waiting to answer your situation.    When you stand and say that you believe God will heal you.....you open up the door for God to move.    He is His word and it is the word of God that provides the answer to your situation.  

Imagine yourself at a door.   Knocking....Knocking....and Knocking.   God says if you knock .... the door will be opened.   We have to understand how to knock in the spirit.   We knock through prayer.   We knock through praise.   We knock through repentence.   We have to understand how to knock on God's heart.   When we understand how to knock....we can then understand that we already have a key of access.   Our key is our faith and when we enter in by faith....we will encounter His word and it will provide the answer to our situation.   

Trust God today.   Understand that everything that comes against the word and will of God for your life is just an opportunity for you to be a "testament' of who He is and what He will do.   For He will move.   He will manifest.   He will show Himself strong in and through your situation.   Trust Him.   Believe Him.   Know Him.   Know His love for you.   Know His power and His grace.   Know that He cannot fail .... so don't have faith failure.

"Deliverance Is Available To You"

Ministered By Vicki Yohe

Do You Understand That The Creator Is Also The Master Technician? You Have A Copyright On Your Life That Is Sealed With The Blood Of Jesus......

As you look back....what do you see?   What activates you?   In other words .... what sets you in motion or converts you to a "reactive" form?   When something is reactive, it acts in response to a situation rather than trying to create it or control it.   Are you reacting to the word of God in your life?   Or are you trying to control your life on your own? 

We have to get to a place where we are activated by God and God's word.   We have to learn to let go and let God.   Let Him be our Master, our Teacher, our Healer, and our Deliverer.   Sometimes we get so busy trying to master our own lives......trying to teach our ownselves.....trying to do things to heal our  own bodies......not to mention trying to bring about our own deliverance that we forget that the Creator is also the Master Technician.   Who knows better what is needed to make the thing in which they create work better than the one who created it.  

It's time to get recharged.   Recharged with God's word so that when He flips the switch to your life on.....when He activates you.....you will be fully charged and ready to "run" for Him.    Stop taking it upon yourself to run without being charged up with His word.    You can only go so far when you fail to rejuvenate.   It becomes to easy to turn back, give up, and quit.  

Today make it  your purpose to be reactive.   To respond to situations based on God's word in your life.   Stop trying to create and control your own life.    Understand today that your life is not your own.   Understand that the creation belongs to the creator.   There is a copyright on your life and that copyright contains a seal which is the blood of Jesus.   

Trust the word within.   Know that it is God's will to take care of you.   To keep you.  To make His face shine upon you.   To reveal to you, in you, and through you......His Love.

"My Destiny"

Ministered By Stephen Hurd

Are We Supplying People With The Braces and Crutches Of God's Word or Allowing Them To Become Spiritually Wrecked?

Living life alone.   Why do we think that we have to live life alone?   Why do we think that we have to walk this walk by ourselves?   There are moments when you have to separate yourself and strengthen your spiritual muscles.....but God did not leave us alone.    He is ever present and is building a body of believers.    We have to begin to recognize and understand the functions of His body.   We have to begin to help strengthen the other parts of His body.   By praying, encouraging, and helping one another.    We have to help God's body grow to maturity.    When something is in a mature state.....it has become fully developed.    Are we developing God's body?

What would happen if we were to reach out to people today?   If we took the time to pray for people today?   If we gave a word of encouragement today?    What would happen if we supplied people with the braces and crutches of God's word to help them to get to the point where they can walk alone in Him.   Not everyone has become developed enough to walk by themselves.   Even those of us who are mature have points in our lives where we need someone to encourage us, to pray for us, or to help us.   Why is it that we think that people can just do it on their own.   It's like leaving a baby that is just learning to walk and telling him to cross the street by himself.    How many babies have you abandoned?   How many people have you walked away from and allowed them to become spiritually wrecked?

It's time we become the support system that we were meant to be.   It's time to decide if we are only seeking momentary satisfaction from God and His word or if we are in it for the long run.    If we are in it for the long run....there are people that we need to help along the way.    We don't determine how long our assignments are with people.....but they should always know that we are there if they need us. 

Our encouragement, our prayers, our friendship, and our love should never fade away.    There are many seasons and many levels in God.   But God's love abides in every season and it is prevalent on every level.

Being Established and Instead Of Leaking ..... Beginning To Overflow

Establishing your heart.   What does it mean to establish your heart?   Establish means to set up and to settle.    God wants us to settle within our hearts who He is.    To let it be established in our lives.   It is His desire that there be no questions concerning who He is and what He will do for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose and His plan.   

Life has a lot of questions....but we have to understand that who God is....is unquestionable.    It has to become undoubtable, indisputable, and incontestable.    The foundation of our lives must be built on the knowledge and belief that God is who He said He is and that He will do what He said He will do.   If you question those two facts ..... then there is a leak in what you say you believe.    When there is a leak in your belief system, you "slowly" lose the contents of what you say you believe.   You become empty and instead of being faith"ful"....full of faith......you become faith"less".  

We have to be established.   We have to settle it within our hearts, within our minds, and within our lives that God just is.   He is Alpha, He is Omega, He is the beginning and the end.   He is healer, He is deliverer, He is our provider and the provision.    We have to settle the fact that God is love.   He is redeemer and friend.    We have to plug up every hole of doubt in our belief system by filling it with God's word.   

Instead of leaking...we need to begin to overflow.   Overflow with faith.   Overflow will love.   Overflow with joy.   Overflow so that others can feel His flow through us.   So that they can see His goodness through us.   So they can know His love through us.    You can never fully pour into someone else when you are empty yourself.   When you are unsure in who and what you believe.    Get established.   Someone needs to drink from God's fountain that is flowing from your life.    Will you allow God to flow through the fountain of your life in order to quench the thirst of those around you.
