How Are You Responding and What Makes You Different?

How would you respond if someone came to you and told you that they hate your God?    How would you respond if you saw someone degrade the cross of Jesus?    How would you respond if you were at the cross when Jesus was crucified?    HOW ARE YOU RESPONDING NOW?  

Every day people all around you are acknowledging their disrespect and lack of love for God.   Every day people are defaming or should I say slandering the reputation of the cross of Jesus.    Every day Jesus is being crucified all over again through peoples words and actions.    HOW ARE YOU RESPONDING?

Let your stand be seen.   Let your responses be in line with God's word.    It does no good to be a "secret" Christian.    One who nobody sees and nobody can tell follows God.     If your words blend in and your actions are the same ... HOW ARE YOU DIFFERENT.    There is a requirement with salvation and that requirement is to live holy.    To talk holy.   To be holy.   To be holy means to be consecrated and set apart.   That means you are different.  

When in the crowd ... what shows others that you are different?   What tells them (without you being judgmental)  that you are set apart by God?

"Holiness"

Ministered By Micah Stampley

Are You Letting Your Words and Your Attitude Reflect The Fact That God Is Greater?

Let your words and your attitude reflect the fact that "God Is Greater".    No matter what it is that is coming up against your life today.    It does not outweigh God.   It cannot conquer His word or take away His promise.   It does not win.    Today you need to know that God IS Greater.   Understand the word greater means the major part.   The larger part.    If everything in your life is weighed ... God comes out as the major part of your life.    Everything else is minor compared to Him.   When something is minor  ... it is less important ... less serious ... and less significant.   We have been letting our problems outweigh the word of God.   We have been giving them priority and significance.   Whereas the fact is  ... God has already worked it out.    He has not only worked out the problem that we are going through right now ... He has worked out the unexpected things that we will encounter later in life.

So again ... tell your situations and your circumstances today that your "God is Greater".   He is greater than the sickness.   He is greater than the disease (dis - ease).   He is greater than the lack.   He is greater than the storm.    HE WINS.   He wins every time.   Not just some of the time .... BUT EVERY TIME GOD WINS.

Are You Watering Down God's Word With Worry and Doubt?

Are you watering down the strength of God's word with your worry and doubt?    God has given you His word at full capacity.   It has the strength and the power to overcome and overtake every situation in your life.    Why are you doubting?   Why are you worrying?   The Bible says in Matthew 6 that our worrying cannot add one hour to our lives.    It goes on to say ... do not worry.  

We have to begin to take God at His word.   He says do not worry.   He says to trust Him.   He said to believe.   Understand that doubt cancels out faith.    Faith is trusting and believing that God will do it.   Doubt says "maybe" he won't.   Let's begin to do what the Bible says.   Let's have faith in God.  Let's believe His word is true.   Let's believe that His deliverance is nigh.   Let's believe in the truth of His word.   

God loves you ... and you have to understand .... He is working everything together in your life to bring you to a place of complete trust and belief in Him and His plan for your life.

Allow God To Be Your Guide In The Wilderness Of Life ... Understanding That Your Promised Land Is On The Other Side Of Your Wilderness Experience .....

Let God be God.   Let Him lead you today.   Let Him show you the way.    When you go into a wilderness ... would you go alone or would you use a guide to show you the way?   Understand .... life is a wilderness.  God did not call you to walk this life alone.   He wants to be your guide.   

We have to begin to understand that God has prepared a path for us in our wilderness or should I say our tough times in life.   God will give us water in our wilderness.   The water of His word that will quench our thirsty soul.    GOD HAS PREPARED A WAY.  We just need to learn how to follow Him in order for us to know the way.   

So step back today.    Step back and allow God to be your guide.   Allow Him to divinely take you step by step through your wilderness experience.   When we allow Him to be the guide ... the process is not as long.   When we allow Him to be the guide ... we will receive everything that we will need as we enter into the promises that He has prepared for us.   Understand your promised land is on the other side of your wilderness experience.

"Praise Is What I Do"

Ministered By Gateway College of Evangelism

Are You Holding Yourself Accountable For Someone Else's Response?

Are you thinking it is about you?  What they did and how they responded.  Do you think their response was based on what you said or what you did?   That could be true ....   But always keep in mind ... our response always has something to do with what is going on inside us.    What someone does or what someone says may trigger a response ... but that response is still primarily dependent on what is going on in us ... how we feel and what has happened prior to that time.  

We have to stop blaming ourselves totally for other peoples responses.   We have to understand that a persons response is relative to their mood.   If they are happy ... they will respond differently than they would if they are stressed.    This is why it is so important that we say what we say in love and pray that the person receiving it receives it in the manner in which it was spoken.   

Do what you can to make sure you say what God says and say it the way God would have you to say it.   Do what you can to reflect love and to speak the truth in love. Always remember you are a vessel that God is using to pour into someone elses life.   If you pour out love .... you are not accountable for their response.    However, if you pour out anything other than God's love ... God does hold you accountable.

Are You Caught In The Bondage Of Captivity Even Though You Have Been Set Free? Are You Allowing The Impression of Fear To Keep You From Walking In Faith?

Are you caught?   To catch means to capture or seize ... especially after a chase.    Have you been caught by your mind, your will, and your emotions.   Caught to the point that you can't think past what is going on in your life.   Caught to the point that you can't align your will with God's will because you are feeling as though you can't move.   Caught to the point that you are reacting based on your emotions rather than God's word.    Have you been caught?

Understand today that you have been set free.   The freedom that you were given by the sacrifice of the cross was for your "life" not just one moment or one situation.    Don't allow the enemy of your "mind" to hold you in captivity.    Don't allow the enemy of "self will" to keep you out of God's will.   Don't allow how you "feel ... your emotions"  to cause you to miss a move of God in your life.

It's time to walk free.   Why would you stay in captivity when the doors have been opened for your release.     The only reason people stay in captivity after they have been set free is because the bondage that they have been in ... has left an impression of fear upon them.   Fear of the unknown.   Fear of making another mistake.  Fear of failure.    Understand you are called to faith.   Walk in it and watch God move on it.

If The Words You Speak Are Your Foundation For God's Promises Working In Your Life ... How Safe Is Your Ground?

If the words you are speaking are the words that you are standing on ... how safe is your ground?   Your words are your confession of what you believe.   They tell whether your trust or believe what God has said.    They build a foundation for which you can stand on.    So if the words are your foundation .... my question is .... are there cracks in your foundation based on faith failure?    Where you have allowed your faith to fail in the midst of the test.   Where you interjected the word "but" in what you were saying and believing God to do. 

We have to live our lives as .... God's word is .....    God's word is true.  God's word is real.   God's word is final authority.    We have to say what He says and believe what He says.   If we say God is my healer "but" ....    We have just canceled out our belief that He is truly our healer.    What the word "but" does is interject doubt.   It says "just in case".    It allows you an avenue for disbelief or substitutes.    There is no substitute for God or His word.    Therefore it puts a crack in your foundation that cannot be filled.

Let your foundation be sure.   Let your confession be God will, God can, and God shall.   Not God might.    Speak the word only and cancel out the word "but" from your conversation when you are saying what your Daddy will do for you.
