Repentance Leads to Renewal, Reconciliation, and A Renewed Commitment

We must be intentional in searching our hearts to see how far we have strayed away from God, to see what things we have left undone, what relationships need to be restored, and who we need to forgive. As we turn back to God with our whole hearts. We look at those areas in our lives that have been long overdue to get a checkup. Have you ever put off an annual checkup at the doctor? You know you need to go, but just don’t get around to it. There are times because of a lack of due diligence, the doctor may give us a not-so-favorable report. As we come to the end of the year, I believe that the Lord has been tugging at our hearts. We have been looking in the mirror of the Word, and what we see hasn’t been lining up with the Word. We don’t like it, and we are going to make changes to get right with God. When we ask God to search us, He will do just that. We want our minds to think as God does and not the world. We are asking God to reveal to us those hidden sins we aren’t aware of. We just want to be clean, righteous, and renewed in our commitment to God. We have looked at ourselves and our relationships in our homes, extended families, ministry, school, or job. We have fixed things with everyone. We humbled ourselves and said, “Hey, you know what I have done this wrong or that wrong.” I shouldn’t have said this or that. Will you forgive me, I am sorry. True repentance results in a radical and persistent pursuit of holy living, walking with God in obedience to His commands.

Who’s On Your Boat?

Who's on your boat? Many believers do not realize that you cannot have everybody on your boat. You need to be careful who you let on your boat. Everybody is not for you, and nobody is going to have your back when things get tough or out of control. So, who is on your boat?

I Am Still Standing

“It is by the grace of God that I am still here. It is by the grace of God that things are now becoming clear. It is by the grace of God that I listened when he called. It is by the grace of God that his love, mercy, and unwavering grace anchored me through it all. Because I’m still standing.”

Rise Up!

To rise up above your situation requires faith “ Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 What are you hoping for? What are you waiting for? What are you expecting to happen? While you are waiting for it to manifest act as if you have it already. Start making preparations for it I don’t see it but I believe it will happen. I don’t understand it but I know it’s going to work out for my good. When will you rise up above your situation? How long will you sit there? How long will you wait for someone to come and rescue you? How long will you feel sorry for yourself? How long will you blame others? When God has already given us the power to rise up. Can you imagine? You are in service and someone you have known for years of being lame and now they are instantly healed. For years of wanting to be healed, years of being rejected, years of not knowing who you are, years of living in confusion, years of living in rebellion, years of not knowing your purpose, you messed up, get over yourself. It’s time out for excuses. God knew it was going to happen, God knows what you were going to do or have done. It’s over; now rise up!

Rise Up!…Continued

It's a sealing of the deal, meaning that the things that you've been praying for and praying through, the things you've been working towards and working through the visions and the dreams that I've shown you, you'll see in November, those plans begin to start coming into motion.

Shake It Off…Continued

Don’t let it latch to your soul. The betrayal, the heartache, the sickness, lack of finances, and friends that have walked away from you, it didn’t turn out like you thought it should. When we are in the heat of things, it can be overwhelming, painful, humbling, numbing, and disappointing. When it's up close, personal, attacks from those you least expect and it makes us uncomfortable. It becomes our responsibility to not let it not cause harm to where we lose faith, fall back or we are hard on ourselves. Stop believing the lies of the enemy. There’s no hope, there is no use, it won’t get any better, I can’t do it and it won’t work. “Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you”. I Peter 4:13 A trial comes to try you. The word lets us to know that the trial is coming. We are shocked when things happen but it’s a part of this Christian journey. It is not strange. We have been called out to catch it. When it comes your way what are you going to do about it?

Shake It Off

Whatever you may be going through shake it off. Don’t let it get in your mind. “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” 2 Corinthians 10:5 You have to cast down those thoughts. They don’t like me, they don’t love me, they don’t appreciate me, they have rejected me. You meditate on the hurt; then it gets in your heart. Now you treat them differently. When you become offended and allow it to latch on to your soul. Now you have a problem with them, your behavior has changed towards the person. It’s your problem and not theirs. They don’t even know they have offended you. So who is wrong in that? The other person has gone on with their life. You have to rise up and shake it off.

HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW

If His eye is on the sparrow, why are we feeling discouraged? Why are we feeling lonely? Why are many of us walking around here saying I don’t know what I will do. How am I going to make it? How can I pay the mortgage? How am I going to pay the bills? How am I going to fix my marriage? What stands out in those statements is “I”. What am “I” going to do? If His eye is on the sparrow, then what are you worried about? His eye is on the sparrow.

You are in the middle of the sea, and the ship that represents your life is being tossed and turned. You are going through a turbulent storm. The storm could be your marriage. The storm could be losing your job. The storm could be financial struggles. The storm could be that child that is not acting right. The storm could be grief, you just lost a loved one. Whatever your storm is, God is saying I got you. Just grab hold of one of the broken pieces. I will pull you safely to shore.
