The Blessing in Commitment.

Image
I hear often that God moved fast through me. God has the power to make anything happen when you surrender all to him. I am still in a space where I need to be pushed and cultivated. I’m pretty sure many of you are in the same space as well. Just last year I was living in sin. I was still drinking , fornicating, and occasionally clubbing. I made a vow to God to stay pure. Although, I may struggle to keep it, I’m still pushing. We are not a perfect people and we all fall short. I wanted to share that I am 7 months free from drinking alcohol, which is a huge accomplishment for me. Alcohol has always been the outlet for my problems. God honors those who honor him. I have kept my word on seeking God first and because of this he is blessing me in many ways. I wanted to motivate you all to keep seeking God’s face. Even when that dark cloud appears. God only wants to love on us. We have to push through. Stay in prayer and in the word of God. Be obedient and watch God’s blessing fall. ...

The Blessings Will Come When You Talk To God!

Often times we find ourselves in what we call “a waiting season.” In this season we say things like “ I’m waiting on God to move” or “I’m waiting on God to speak.” We recite scriptures such as  “Be still in the presence of the Lord and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.”   Psalms‬ ‭37:7‬ ‭NLT ‬‬  or   “Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken.”  Psalms‬ ‭62:5-6‬ ‭NLT‬‬ We sit impatiently waiting on God to do things in our lives. We wait for confirmation on our next steps. In that time of waiting, we do more complaining about when God will move opposed to talking to our Father. I’ll be the first to admit I get impatient with God. We become frustrated and we say things like “I still haven’t heard from God” or “I don’t think God wants what’s best for me” or at least what we think is b...

Blessed with confidence.

Have you ever felt hopeless? Have you ever felt like no matter what you do you won't pull through a situation or things may not happen the way you plan? I know I definitely have. I have felt lost and confused. I have been on the verge of quitting. Then there is always that voice inside of me that reminds me to trust and have faith in the Lord. That voice on the inside of me is the Holy Spirit. All who know Christ have the Holy Spirit inside them. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you. Have confidence that he will never fail you. All God wants is for us to have confidence in him. He wants us to give all our worries to him and allow him to give provision on a situation.  1 Peter 5:7  "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you."  Roman 15:13  " Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit."   When you put your trust in God he will fill you up with joy. He will give ...

The Blessing in Withdrawing.

There are often times that we find ourselves stuck in situations we can’t get out of. It’s like we’re trying to find our way out of a maze. We search everywhere for answers and they can not be found. We’ll go to our friends, spouse, and/or family for help, but never do we think to turn to God first. There are times I turn away from social media and I distant my self from people. It’s not because I’m angry or upset with anyone, but it’s simply because I need the guidance from the Lord.  “ But Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer.”   Luke 5:16 NLT .  This scripture taught me that sometimes we have to withdraw from our everyday life and dive deep into prayer. When you find yourself in the “ wilderness ” of life there’s only one thing to do and that’s pray. Seek God and allow him to lead the way. It’s okay to separate from social media. Sometimes those things are distractions from what God is trying to do in your life. God is often trying to take us places ...
