Are You Still Living In The Failures Of Your Past By Dwelling On What Was Or Could Have Been?


What do you need God to do?  Do you need Him to move for you and to move in you?   Do you need Him to manifest in your body or in your finances?    Do you need His peace, His love, and His joy?   Whatever you need God to do… understand … it is His desire to do it for you.    Take a moment and go to the Father.    Yes … He knows the need … but He still said for you to ask.    Ask Him to come in.   Give Him free reign.    Stop trying to do it all and handle it all on your own.    God wants to work on your behalf.   He wants to bring it all together for you good.   However, you have to believe that He will.   You have to trust that He will.   You have to know that He will.   

Let your life today be a life of faith.   Stop living in the failures of your past.   We live in the failures of our past by dwelling on what was or what could have been.     It’s not about what was.   It’s not about what happened last year, last week, yesterday, or even 5 minutes ago.   It’s about where do you go from here.    Are you willing to pick up and move forward.    Make up your mind today to go all the way with God.   To move forward in His purpose and in His plan.   To stop looking back and to allow the Father to lead you in the direction He wants you to go.

Did You Know That Renewing Your Mind Precedes The Proof Of God's Will Being Made Manifest In Your Life?

What else can you do?  What is it that you haven’t done that you could be doing?   How about “nothing”?   How about being still and doing nothing?    That’s what God wants.   He wants you to be still and know that He is God.   He wants you to understand that there is nothing you have to do but trust and believe.     He doesn’t need your expertise.   He doesn’t need you to work on fixing it.   He just wants you to be still and know that He is God.   
Being still is not easy.    Isn’t it funny how it takes effort in order to be still.    Resting is not easy.   We always say we need rest … but when it comes to resting we don’t know how to do it.   Make up your mind today.   Tell yourself that you are going to be still no matter what.     Understand … you must first conquer every battle in your mind.   If you don’t get your mind to a place where you are determined to overcome … you will never truly overcome.     Rest and meditate on Romans 12:2 today … And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.   Always remember … the renewing of the mind precedes the proof of the will of God being made manifest.

Are You Truly Trusting God or Are You Still Constantly and Consistently Trying To Work It Out On Your Own?

Why are you trying to do something that God has already done?   Why are you trying to make it work and figure it out?   Do you not believe God when He said He has already worked it out?   What is your step of faith?   What is it that you believe and trust?   Do you trust the word that is working inside of you?   Do you trust it enough to let go and follow God?    There are so many questions in life … but the one question that answers them all is …. Do you really trust God with your life?
We say we trust Him but the truth is … we are constantly and consistently trying to work it out and figure it all out on our own.    We say we believe Him but we are constantly and consistently putting our hope and our faith in our own ability.     What is it about us that causes us to fail to completely trust and believe God?    We have become so accustomed to living by our senses … that we find it hard to believe and trust what we cannot see.   We find it hard to walk in faith because we have not control over the unseen.    Understand that is what God wants.    He wants the glory.   If you do it … it will be easy for you say to the people around you … “look at what I did”.   But if God does it … He gets the glory.   He gets the honor …. and He gets the praise.

Your Reward Is Not Material Things ... It Is Victory Over Strongholds, Situations, Circumstances, and The Opinions Of People"

Today's Blog Written/Ministered By ... Tara A. Moore

The enemy seeks to have us question our faith. Whether it be our Christian character; our belief in God; our belief that Jesus is the son of God and that He died for our sins; that God's Word is true...   But we have to understand that without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him

So, what does this mean. It means that no matter how contradictory the words of the person who keeps trying to plant negative seeds in your thought life are to the Word of God and what HE has spoken (although the words may make sense at the time spoken), you must continue to stand on God's Word without wavering and without doubt. It means that the harder the test or trial ... the harder you press into God. It means that you understand that the reward is not in material things; but, that the reward is victory over strongholds; victory over situations and circumstances; victory over the opinions of people... The reward is knowing more of God intimately. The reward is having your name written in the Lambs book of Life. The reward is knowing that because you continue to pray, study, read, worship, converse with God the Father ... He covers you, protects you, hides you, fights FOR you, carries your burden, gives you peace that surpasses ALL understanding, fills your mind with creative ideas, makes EVERY crooked place straight.... 

Knowing that God is means that He is real to you; and, that no one can make you doubt it. How do I know if my clothes will fit ... I try them on. How do I know if my dinner will be pleasing to my family... I taste and see that it is good. There is an old adage that says "I tried Him and I know Him..." Keep "trying" Him.  He said in His Word for us to "prove Him".  Don't stop, don't give up, don't let go... remain DILIGENT in your walk with God, in your pursuit of WHO He is not just WHAT He can give you and He WILL reward your Faith in HIM!

What Do You Do Now That You Have Done All That You Know To Do?

What now?   What do you do now that you have done all that you know to do?   Do you stop?   Do you give up?  Do you quit?   Or do you put your trust in God.    You have to understand that your weariness does not affect God’s faithfulness.   He is faithful to do what He said He would do … if you trust Him.   Sometimes we have to understand that trials come in order to put us in a position of trust.    If we never have a trial … we would possibly be over confident in our own abilities.   God does not want your confidence to be in what you can do.   It is His desire that your confidence be in Him.
So after you have done all that you know how to do.   That is when you stand and trust.   Stand knowing that He is God and trust what He said He would do.    We have to remember that God is not a man that He should lie … nor the son of man that He should repent.  That means He doesn’t have to take back what He has said.   What He said stands.    It is sure and we can depend on it.    So now … it’s time to let go and let God.    Let Him be the ruler and total authority in your life.

Are You Putting Your Trust In Who God Is or What God Does?

Understanding who God is … is not always easy.   Understanding why He does what He does is not always easy.   What you have to understand and settle in your mind is God is God.   He is all seeing and all knowing.   He is Jehovah.    You have to trust in who He is.    We tend to put our trust in what He does rather than who He is.     So when things don’t work out the way we want them to … we feel as though He has failed us based on what happened.    Our trust is not in the things … our trust is in Him and His power and ability.  Not our outcomes.   
As you look at your life and the things you see as needed for your life … put your trust in God.   In His ability and His power.   Know within yourself that your Daddy loves you and He is working everything out for your good.   Stop basing your trust on your outcome.  Base your trust on who God is and His word.

As You Celebrate Thanksgiving ... Remember To Pray and Praise God For Someone Who May Be Feeling Lost, Lonely, and Distressed ...

It’s so easy to forget.   As we get around family and friends and give thanks … it is so easy to forget that there may be some without family and without friends.   There may be some who have lost loved ones and this is their first Thanksgiving without them.   There may be some that are finding it hard to give thanks because their lives are in such chaos.    Let’s choose not to forget.    Let’s choose to praise God or our blessing and pray for someone else to be bestowed with blessings.   
There are those who are hungry and homeless.   There are those who are lonely and struggling.   There are those who are struggling to break away from the bondages of life.   Pray for them.   Give God thanks for them and pray that whatever their struggle is in life that they begin to seek God and in turn see Him in the midst of whatever they are going through.   
Give thanks for what you have not only on this day that we celebrate as “Thanksgiving” … but on every day.   For God is good and His mercy towards us is renewed “every day”.   As you give thanks for your life … begin to pray and praise God for others.   Pray and praise for their breakthrough.    The place where they can break through their struggle and see God has come to their rescue and that He is their place of refuge.
