Your Life Speaks A Story ..... and That Story Should Always Lead Back To God and His Word....

So what do you do when your whole world begins to turn?   Do you turn with it or do you stand still?   God wants and needs you to be stationary.   He needs you in a place when everything else around you changes .... you remain unmovable.   Where you still stand on His word no matter what is trying to knock you off.    He wants us to understand that He is the one that controls our world.    Our existence is in Him.   We cannot allow what others say or do to control our stance.    

If you went to work today and was told that your job was in jeopardy .... that the company was experiencing cutbacks .... what would you do?   What would your reaction be?   Would it be one that confuses the enemy and those around you?    Or would it be what they expect?   One where you become distraught and unrecognizable as a child of God because of faith failure.    It is only when the situations of life come against your faith that your faith is truly recognized.    We can say we have faith and we can wear a shirt that says we are vessels of faith.   However, it is only when you are confronted with life that you truly become aware of the level of faith you possess.   

Your life speaks your story aloud.   It tells whether or not you truly believe.    We have to be as it says in I Corinthians 15:58.   We have to be steadfast.   We have to be unmovable.   We have to be at a place where we trust and believe God and His word no matter what.    If man tells you today that your job is gone, your response should be "God knows the plans that He has for me and that includes giving me an expected end".   If the doctor tells you today that you sick, your response should be "by His stripes I am healed".    If your bank account reflects that you don't have enough, your response must be "my God shall supply all of my needs".    Your response should always lead back to God's word.    What the world sees and what the world hears from your life, should always lead back to God and His word.    

Understand today that life cannot control you unless you let it.    You have within your mouth the power to change your world.    God's words are life.  Speak God's life into your life today and command it to line up with His will, His purpose, and His plan.

It's Time To Take On A "Just Do It" Attitude ..... There Are Lives At Stake On Your Road Called Destiny .....

Have you made it personal yet?   Or are you just saying what everyone else says?   Are you just mimicking  the thoughts of others or are you allowing God to fill YOU and speak through YOU.    The word is in you and it wants to come out.    God uses those around us to inspire us and to stir us.   But you have to understand that He also wants to use us.    He wants the word within us to come out and to produce and inspire someone else who needs to be stirred.    Someone else who needs to be inspired.    Understand today that there are some  people that only "you" were ordained to reach.    They are on your road called destiny.   They are waiting and they are watching because they need a word from YOU.    Ask yourself whose destiny may be hanging in the balance if you delay or fail to obey.    Somebody elses life is connected to yours.   Somebody elses healing is connected to the words in your mouth.   Somebody elses marriage is connected to your ministry.    When you delay .... you are not just delaying you.   You are delaying the word that someone else has been ordained to receive from you.    

It's time to take on a "just do it" attitude.   Where we just do what we are called to do.    It's time to stop delaying.    We consistently tell God the things that we need right now.   Yet we delay in what He is telling us to do.   How is it that we want Him to move for us right now .... yet we delay in our movement for Him?   Understand the order of progression.   Understand divine connection.    On your road called "destiny"  .... there are lives at stake.    There is hope at stake.   There is peace at stake.   On your road called "destiny" .... there are marriages at stake.   Families at stake.    There are people that need you now.    Your obedience is not just about you.    There are divine connections that God has assigned to your life.    The process of their growth is connected the word within YOU.     God has said if you love Him to feed His sheep.   How long will you wait to produce the food that is already within you?

It's Time To Check The Reason and Resource For What You Do and Say..... What Is The Cause, Explanation, and Justification Behind Our Actions

Understanding the newness of life.   Understanding who you are in Christ.   Understanding His peace and understanding His power.   That's what God wants you to do.   He wants you to understand who you are in Him and what you are called to do in Him.   Not what you can do on your own.   God did not call you to live alone or even walk alone.   He called to you rest in Him.   To live in Him.   When you live in Him, that means that He is the sole reason and resource for what you say and what you do.    

When you say that God is the reason for what you do, you are saying that He is the cause, explanation, and justification behind what you are saying and what you are doing.    When you say that He is your resource, you are saying that He is the supply that you draw from in order to function.   

So ask yourself....where are you drawing your resources from?   Are you drawing from the well that never runs dry?   When we talk about resources, we are not just speaking financial.   We are speaking of your joy, your peace, your healing, your trust.   Where are you receiving the strength from in order to walk in these areas?    These things can only be obtained through God and His word.   So if you are lacking joy, peace, healing, trust, and provision .... maybe you need to go back and check the source of your resource and see if it is God and His word.    

Another question we need to ask ourselves is why do we do what we do?   What is the cause, explanation, and justification behind our actions.    Are we doing it to please God or to please man?   Or are we doing it to please self?   There is a reason behind everything we do.   We need to make sure that our reasons always lead to God and His plan.  

Take time today and analyze your life.   Understand the new life that God has given you.   The opportunity that has been set before you.   The opportunity to make a difference in your life and the lives of those around you.    Understand who you are in Christ and what God wants you to do.    It is only when you understand these things that you can you walk in the purpose that God has set for your life.

Don't Base Your Life On Your Abstract Thoughts ..... Anything That Is Separate From God and His Word ......

What are you practicing and what are you rehearsing?   What is it that you are consistently doing in your life that you are allowing to become a habit to you?    What is it that you are allowing to dictate your motives and your motivation?    What thoughts are you allowing to roll over and over in your mind that are now dictating your response and your responsibility?    The responsibility of a thing is the source or the cause of it.    Where does the responsibility for your actions lay?   What thoughts or actions did you practice and rehearse to bring you to this point in life?

If you don't like where you are at this point in your life, it's time to change your habits.   It's time to practice and rehearse life differently.   It's time to rehearse life based solely on God's words and not your abstract thoughts.   When something is abstract, it is considered to be apart from that which is concrete.   If your thoughts are apart from God's word .... your thoughts have become abstract.    Don't base your decisions in life on anything that is separate and apart from who and what God is.    God and His word are your evidence and faith if your requirement.

Stop Just Believing God To The Point Of Is .... You Have To Believe Him To The Point That You Believe That He Will Do It For You.....

You have been given a choice today ..... what will you choose?   Will you choose life or death?   Heaven or hell?   Peace or worry?   Joy or sadness?    Every thought that you have .... leads to a decision you will make.   Even if the decision is whether or not you really believe what you are thinking.   

Do you believe that God is?   If you believe that God is ..... do you believe that He is a healer?   If you believe that God is a healer ..... do you believe that He will heal you?    Don't stop at the beginning of the thought.   Don't stop at the point of just believing that He is or believing that He will.   Make it personal .... believe that what He is and what He will do ..... Believe that He is that to you and that He will do it for you.   

God is so good and He loves you so much.    Will you trust Him enough to make it personal?    When something is personal .... it is a that point it belongs to you rather than someone else.    We pray for people and we believe that God will do things for them.   That He will heal them, that He will deliver them, that He will manifest His goodness, His grace, and His mercy in their lives.   It's time we believe for ourselves.   It's time we open up our hearts and our minds to the goodness and grace of God in our own lives.    Choose to believe today.   Choose to believe that God has "you" on His mind.   That God is working out all things for "your" good.   That He is healing "you".   That He is delivering "you".   Choose to believe in His love for "you".

What It Means To Be Strong and Courageous As You Cross The Threshold Into New Dimensions In God ....

Understand the word that Moses spake unto Joshua at the point of his transition ..... At the point where God was transitioning Joshua into leadership.    God is transitioning you today.  He wants you to lead those around you.    To lead them into covenant with Him.    Moses told Joshua and the children of Israel .... to be strong and courageous.    Understand the word strong means .... solid; tough; not easily broken or injured; able to withstand violence; able to sustain attacks; not easily subdued or taken.    The word courageous means the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear; bravery.    God has called each of us to be strong and courageous in Him.    You are about to cross a "Jordan" in your life.   A threshold that will take you to new dimensions in your relationship with God.   But understand the enemy will come to try to get you off track.   At that point you must be strong and courageous.   You must be full His word and full of His faith.  

Deuteronomy 31:1-9
Amplified Bible (AMP)
 1AND MOSES went on speaking these words to all Israel:     2And he said to them, I am 120 years old this day; I can no more go out and come in. And the Lord has said to me, You shall not go over this Jordan.
    3The Lord your God will Himself go over before you, and He will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. And Joshua shall go over before you, as the Lord has said.
    4And the Lord will do to them as He did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, when He destroyed them.
    5And the Lord will give them over to you, and you shall do to them according to all the commandments which I have commanded you.
    6Be strong, courageous, and firm; fear not nor be in terror before them, for it is the Lord your God Who goes with you; He will not fail you or forsake you.
    7And Moses called to Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong, courageous, and firm, for you shall go with this people into the land which the Lord has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall cause them to possess it.
    8It is the Lord Who goes before you; He will [march] with you; He will not fail you or let you go or forsake you; [let there be no cowardice or flinching, but] fear not, neither become broken [in spirit--depressed, dismayed, and unnerved with alarm].
    9And Moses wrote this law and delivered it to the Levitical priests, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the elders of Israel.

Don't Allow Yourself To Just Be Tickled By The Word .... Let It Permeate Who You Are ....

Be encouraged today.....

Knowing that God works all things out for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.   Know today that God is a healer.   Jesus took stripes on His back so that you could be healed.   Know that your Father is a provider.   He said in His word that He would provide "all" of your needs (not some) according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.   Know today that you are protected.  For He has promised that He will watch over you and keep you in all your ways.   

The problem we tend to have is that we have the knowledge but we never allow the knowledge that we have to become rooted in us.   When something is rooted ... it is hard for it to be removed.    It is not easily swayed or pulled up ..... when its rooted.   We have to become rooted in God's word so that when the pressures of life come against us, we are not easily moved.    Where our sense realm knowledge becomes our faith based evidence.     We have to base our faith on God's word and in order to do that we have to know it.   It has to be a part of who we are.   

Don't allow yourself to just be tickled by God's word.   Allow it to permeate who you are.    When something permeates, it spreads throughout.   Let God's word spread throughout your being.   Know that you know.   Even more so .... believe what you know.    The word will never work if you don't believe that it will.
