Understand That It's Through The Hard Times In Your Life That Your Testimony Is Birthed....

Do you ever feel like asking God what is the point?   Why am I trying?   Do you tell yourself this is not working out so what is the use?    Understand the message that God is trying to get to you.    The message is … He is the point.    He is working it out.    The use is that your situation will be used for His glory.     

Where would you be if you didn’t have to call on God or depend on God?   Would you still be serving Him or seeking Him if your life was all good?    What would be your point then?   The point whereby you choose to seek Him.   Unfortunately … a lot of times people don’t turn to God unless they are going through something.   It is then that they acknowledge their need for Him to come to their rescue.   So sometimes … (not always) … life tends to be hard.   But it is through your hardness that your testimony is birthed.   The story of how God saved you … delivered you … set you free.   The story that will make others see the goodness and the grace of God.   

So the next time you ask what is the use.   Know that you are what God is using to deliver His word to His people.    Your life is the thing that God wants to “use” to let people see who He is in the earth.

Understand After You Have Prayed and After You Have Cried ... You Still Must STAND ...

Now what do you do?   Now that you have prayed.   Now that you have cried.   Now that you have done all that you know to do?   What next?   That is where you stand.   Stand on your prayers.   Stand on your tears.   Stand on what you know and know that God is in control.     No it’s not easy.   No it’s not what your flesh wants to do.   But it is God’s word.    God said to stand still and know that I am God.  

So go ahead and cry ….  Go ahead and pray …. God ahead and get it all out.   But understand the end result is still the same.   You still have to stand.   You still have to trust.   You still have to believe.    It’s a matter of faith.   Your success is achieved through your faith in God.   So hold on to what God has said.   Do as Proverbs 3:5-6 says.  

Proverbs 3:5-6

Amplified Bible (AMP)

⁵ Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.

⁶ In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.

It's Time To Move Closer To God ... Are You Ready?

Do you understand that this walk is not a man thing, or a woman thing, it is totally a God thing?    So often we let so many things about our lives keep us from moving closer to God.   We allow our friends, our relationships, our stuff, and even our pride to keep us out of God’s presence.   It’s time to let it all go.   To let go of all of it in our minds.    We have to begin to understand the role that our “soul” plays in our lives.    Our soul is comprised of our mind, our will, and our emotions.    We get so caught on what we think, what we want to do, and how we feel that we allow it to keep us out of the plan of God.   

Change the process.   Change the process within yourself.   Let God’s word be final authority in your life.   Based what you think on what He said.   Base what you do on what God did.   Base how you feel on what God has said is your expected end and not your present situation.   

So whether you be man, woman, boy, or girl … walk with God.    It doesn’t matter who’s watching or not watching.   What matters is that you are in the divine will of the Father.

Are You Allowing The Power Of God's Word To Counteract The Negatives In Your Life?

What are you seeking?   Are you seeking God first?   What position are you giving Him in your thought process?   Is your mind being invaded by stuff and are you failing to focus on the truth?   Understand today … God is truth.   His word is truth.    The things that God is doing in your life is truth.    You have to realize who and what truth is before you can counteract the attacks and the thoughts of the enemy.    In other words … you must know what is coming from God and what is not.  

Understand … to counteract means to go against something in order to neutralize its power and affect.   There are things that are trying to get into your lives in order to bring about chaos.   Chaos is unpredictable and random disorder and confusion.   You have to learn how to counteract those things in your life in order for them to be neutralized and turned into peace and joy.   Understand you neutralize the negatives in your life by applying the word of God and the blood of Jesus to your situations.    

So put God first in everything.   In your thoughts and in your actions.    Don’t be overtaken by your situations.    When negative situations try to impact your life … put God before it.   Put what He has said before it.   Apply the word to it.    If your body says you are sick … that’s negative … but God’s word says you are healed.   So put God’s word before what your body is saying.    Let the power of God’s word counteract the condition of your body.    Keep in the forefront of your heart and mind what was done on the cross and allow the power of the blood to work on your behalf.

It's Time To Let God Reign In Our Friendships, Finances, and Faith (In All Areas Of Our Lives)

What are you allowing to reign in your life?   When something or someone reigns … it means that thing or that person has dominion and authority over you.   It means that you are subject to yield and to obey.    What is it in your life that you are giving that much power to?   If it is not God … then your life is out of alignment.   Your life was created and designed to be subject to the rule and reign of God.   To be led by Him and to be kept by Him.    Are you allowing life to cause you to be in alignment with anything other than God?   Are your trials dictating your emotions and your actions?   Are your friends influencing you to stray?    Understand the power of influence.   When something influences you … it pulls you in a specific position.    What is it or who is it in your life that you are allowing yourself to be influenced by?  Make sure that you are giving God full reign and be sure that your mind, your will, and  your emotions are in alignment with God’s will, purpose, and plan.    Give Him full reign in every area of your life.   Your friendships, finances, and faith.    Let your friendships be led by Him, let your finances be managed by Him, and let your faith be undergirded by Him and His word.

Are You Still Waiting On Them To Acknowledge You? You Have To Understand ... It's Not About Them...

Are you getting caught up on what you want to do?   How you want to do it?   On what it means to you?   On what you expect people to do for you?    Understand today … it is not about you.   It is not about you being seen or you being honored by man.   Your recognition comes from the Lord.   It is He that is working in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.    So are you allowing your expectation of others to determine your will and your emotions?   We all will face a test of our humility.   Where we get challenged to show “ourselves” whether we are truly walking in humbleness.    Are you asking yourself or saying to yourself … why didn’t they do that for me?   Are you upset because it didn’t look like they acknowledged you?    Understand today … it’s not about someone else acknowledging what you have done.   GOD IS THE ONE WHO ACKNOWLEDGES.    It doesn’t mean they think less of you … understand what it means to be lead by God.    When you are being lead by God … you don’t look for man’s accolades.   If they do … they do … but don’t allow your walk to be determined by their acceptance.

Trusting God

Have you gotten over it yet?   Over the people that left you?   The ones who didn't understand and didn't want to take the time to get to know exactly what you were going through.    Those who left you in the midst of your pain.    Have you ever thought that God wanted you in a position where you had to lean on Him?  Where you had to trust Him?   Where you had to believe Him?    Did you ever stop to think that you were just too dependent on that person in your life?   So dependent that you were failing to trust in God because your trust was in them and what they could do for you.   Or in the fact that they were visible and God was not.   

Understand today ... if they left ... that means there purpose was fulfilled.    The supply and designated time they had for your life was met.   The allocation of their time for you was for your past and now God is moving you into your future.    Understand and know that the one unchangeable thing and person in your life is God's love and God.    He is the one who was with you in the past ... He is with you now ... and He will be with you in your future.   

Start living for the unchangeable.   Start living your life in a way that you believe what He is done.   You are sure of what He is doing and you trust what He is about to do.    Settle it within yourself that God will never leave you nor forsake you and He will be with you forever.
