Are You Living Your Life Out Of Biblical Duty or Are You Real About The Things You Do?

Understand that people can tell the difference between something real and something fake.   You can't fake the love of God.    Have you ever had someone hug you and they come up and just pat your shoulders or tap you on the back versus someone who comes and embraces you.   There is a difference in what people consider to be hugs. The thing is ... a person can tell when someone hugs them with sincerity and when someone hugs them just because it's the thing to do.    When you look at the definition of hug, it means to hold tightly in ones arms.  To embrace.   To hold securely and firmly.    We have to stop trying to do things out of Biblical duty and be real about the things we do.   

When you say you love someone .... it should be real.    People should walk away from you knowing that your truly care.   When you say that you want to help someone ... it should be real.   So when they come to you and need help, there should be no "buts" in what you do for them.    Even if it is not as much as you would like to do or as much as they need.   Don't turn your back ... do something to let them know you truly care.   

We have to become the life that we talk about.   We have to become the love that we talk about.   If we don't ever become it ... we are living a lie.   Understand the Holy Spirit that dwells within you "wills" to do what is right.   Now you have to subject your flesh to His will.   Amen.

Are You Intentionally Holding Up The Plan Of God In The Earth By Failing To Do What He Has Told You To Do?

Why are you still running?   Why are you running from your purpose and God's plan?   Why are you running in a different direction than what you know God told you to go?    God is not into opposites.   He expects you to do what He told you to do.   God is not into procrastination.    To procrastinate means to put off doing something intentionally.    When we put off doing what God has told us to do .... we are intentionally delaying the plan of God in the earth.    Isn't it funny how we say come Lord.  Move for us now Lord.   We need you now Lord.   Yet we intentionally delay doing what He has told us to do.   Whether it is based on fear or past experience .... it does not give us the right to delay God's plan in the earth.   

We have to begin to understand the connecting factors.   What God has called us to do is ultimately a connecting force for someone else.   Remember our destiny is not about us.   It is about being in place for God's use.   So that He can use us to help someone else.     We have to move out of the place where we are operating in fear of failure.   Or operating in the "what ifs" of life.   What if this happens or what if it doesn't work.    Understanding that there is no failure in God.   There are learning experiences in God ... but there is no failure in Him.   

Step out today.  Believe God.   Obey God.   Do what God has called you to do.   Don't intentionally hold up the plan of God in the earth.    When you need God you want Him to move immediately.   Give Him the same respect and move when He tells you to move.   Understand that God is saying that He needs you now.    Amen.

Are You "Really" Willing To Sacrifice It All For God? It's Time To Let Your Past Be Your Past....

God is trying to take you somewhere.   He is trying to move you to another position in Him.   Will you be distracted?   Will you be pulled back?   Will allow your passion for other things to override your compassion and love for Him and His people.    How often do we begin to gain momentum towards Him just to hit a bump in the road that causes us to go backwards.    It's time to be aware.   Did you think that the enemy was just going to let you go freely?   Did you think that he would just allow your past to be your past without enticing you once more?   Understand he is your "enemy" not your "friend".   A friend doesn't hold stuff against you.  A friend doesn't bring it back up.    A friend leads you in the right direction.    God is your friend.   

Understand when God is taking you somewhere, He is not telling you to take your past with you.   Especially if your past is going to keep you out of His will.    Our sole purpose is to be in the will of God.   To walk like Him, to talk like Him, and to reflect who He is.   When you move closer to God ... everything unlike Him has to drop off.    Remember sin can not dwell in the presence of God.    So analyze the people, places, and things that you are trying to take with you as you move closer to God.    This is where sacrifice comes in.   Where "the rubber meets the road".    This is where you truly have to decide if you are really willing to let it all go for God.   We say we will and that sounds good.   But the question is .... will we really?   If there is something or someone in your past that you believe God has for your future .... then move on with God and let God reveal them or it in your future .... "IN IT'S CHANGED STATE".    God will never tell us to take sin with us as we move forward with Him.

Are You Walking In Flawed Faith? What Is Your Attitude Towards God?

What is your attitude towards God?   What is that you are thinking?   What is it that you are feeling?   Are you thinking and feeling as though God has let you down?   Are you disappointed based on the fact that what you wanted or what you thought you needed didn't come at the exact time that you expected it?    How can we expect to receive from God if we don't have the right attitude towards Him?   

It is time to look internally.   To look at what is going on within ourselves.   We are quick to judge our situations based on outward appearance.   What we want and when we want it.   However, there are times we need to begin to judge the things that are happening within our lives based on our inward attitudes.   We need to begin to filter our faith to see if there are spots and blemishes in what we "say" we believe.    Understand a blemish is a flaw.   Are you walking in flawed faith?  

God loves you and God wants to move on your behalf.   However, you must understand that God's plan is already written.   He has a "set time" for everything.   We tend to get upset because God's set time is not our time.   If you trust God .... trust His timing.   If you believe God .... receive His plan.   Understand that He knows whats best for you even better than you do.

So What Is Next On Your Agenda Of Life ... Be Careful Not To Overlook Your Source and Your Strength When Setting Your Goals

What’s next?   What do you have next on your agenda of life?   We all tend to plan what it is we want to do and what it is we want to accomplish in life.   So what is it that  you have set your mind and your desire on?   Is it for a new car?   How about a new house?    Is it to get a degree?   Or to accomplish a new task?   

There are many things that we can do and that God wants us to do …   However, we need to make sure that we keep Him in whatever it is we are trying to accomplish.   We also have to understand what He wants to accomplish in us as well.    Sometimes we can get so goal oriented that we forget about the fact that we can’t accomplish anything without His help.   We end up trying to do it all in our own strength.   We look at what we are able to do and not what God wants to do through us.   Every accomplishment in life should always lead back to Him.   What He allowed us to do and how He allowed us to do it.    We have to be careful not to overlook our source and our strength.    For without Him we could do nothing and we could be nothing.   

So go ahead and set your goals.   However, before you set them …. make sure it is what God wants you to do.    Ask Him for help prior to getting in a stressful situation and be sure that He is still your number one priority in everything you do.

What Is It That You Are Bartering Your Life For? Nothing Is Valuable Enough To Trade The Blood Of Jesus For......

Are you sacrificing the life that God has given you in order to please other people?   Understand today that your life is a tool.    A tool is something that is used in order to carry out a particular function.    God is using your life to carry out what He wants to do in the earth.    The question is .... are you bartering your life?   The word barter means to exchange for other goods and services.  

So often we see things we want or want to do.   Whether it be people, places, or things.    The question is .... why are we so quick to sacrifice this life God has given us for those things.    We are constantly bartering our lives.     Trading our righteousness for sin.   Trading our right standing to do what we know is totally against the word and will of God.   We allow the temptations of life to cause us to trade in the blessings that God has given us.    Why is that so?   Why are we so quick to give away what God saw as so precious?

It's time to stop making trades with our lives based on temptation.   It's time to keep this life together the way that God created it to be.   It's time to resist temptation and learn how to live the life that God has ordained for us without yielding to the temptations around us.    Count your life as precious understanding that the ultimate price was paid for it.   There is nothing on earth valuable enough to barter the blood of Jesus for.   Understand that YOUR life is covered with the blood.

What Are You Quenching Your Thirst With? Are You Adding Additives To Your Life?

What are you thirsty for?  The Bible says ... O taste and see that the Lord is good.....   But my question to you is .... what are YOU thirsty for.   Better yet ... what are you quenching your thirst with.  Are you quenching your thirst with what is available or are your waiting on what is beneficial.    Are you drinking the water of life or the kool-aid of life.    They both quench your thirst ... however, one contains additives.   Understand that certain additives have proven to be harmful for your body.    Therefore when you add unnecessary things to your life ... they too could prove to be harmful to your walk with God.   

We have to get to a place in life where we quench our thirst with what is pure, what is just, and what is right.   Not just what appears to be good.     An apple can look good on the outside .... yet it can be rotten at the core.   We have to stop living our lives based on appearance and begin to live our lives based on God's word.   His word say .... taste and see.    Every part of who God is .... is good.     Drink the water of life and allow your life to flourish in His word.
