Are You In The Now?

Are You In The Now?

Often times we are rushing towards our future that we miss the now. The now represents so much fulfillment in our lives. It is an indication where we are at in this very moment and it reveals who we are at this very moment. The now is a nurturer to the future. It reveals what needs to be removed, replanted, taught, and so much more. In fact, for many leaders and purposed filled people the now is vital to their future. It is the time you get to learn yourself and develop into the readiness for the future. I find my now to be very resourceful for my future, this is the time I am using to learn the scriptures and to let God mold me into what I need to be.

Like many others, I was racing towards my future and neglecting the fact that I am not fully ready for all the things that I think I am ready for. I am still very overly emotional, sensitive, naive, and uneducated about many things. This will cause me to not be as effective as I should be for my task. That is why the scripture teaches us that we serve a long-suffering and patient God. Let the church say amen to that. He is very brilliant in his ways!

I want to encourage you today to stop focusing on the future so much without the self-development needed for your now. You have so much potential inside you that needs to be groomed and ready. God has a lot on the stake when he has called someone and he can't let anyone unfit tarnish the rules and image of the kingdom. Even Jesus studied and was mentored before preaching and shifting the world. ( Luke 2:46 NKJV Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.)

Although we may feel like we have arrived often times, we truly haven't. At least in the fullness and wholeness regarding the task at hand. God does things in order and whether you like it or not preparation is apart of that order. Be still and trust God's timing. I am learning that his timing is perfect and as I open my eyes and am being pruned, I've learned that I needed his delays so I can be perfected in his will for me. (Hebrews 13:21 NKJV make you complete in every good work to do is His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen)

Enjoy the now parts of your life, yes, keep moving forward in bettering yourself but enjoy the growth, the new understanding, and the valuable lessons that you're being taught right now by God himself.

Affirmation: No more haste in my spirit to want to move out of my now season of growing and learning!

No Matter What!

No Matter What! Life will throw you some major curveballs just to see how you will respond to it and God will seem silent testing you to see if you have enough faith in him. To be honest the whole ordeal can seem overwhelming. You may feel like me at times and want to pull all your hair out. Confused and scared to make the wrong decision, this is the moment I suggest you breathe and ponder like I do. I stop everything and pray and wait to get revelation on what to do. I have learned from Abraham and Sarah that when I feel hopeless and inpatient not to make a swift decision that can birth an Ishmel. The anointing does come with a price despite what churchy folks try to say.  I say this because now you are being attacked by the devil and his minions. You're fighting flesh that all of the sudden resurfaces hard and your emotions seem out of wack as well when you are pursuing purpose. I may not have all the answers, but one thing, I am confident in,  Jesus is real and ...

Your Life Can Change In Seconds!

Your Life Can Change In Seconds Close your eyes, inhale and exhale now open your eyes, that is how fast everything in your life can change for the better. We serve a God that is a waymaker and a miracle worker. It only takes one word from him. However, I must be honest with you. If you are not prepared for the abundance that the suddenly will cause then you are doomed. You see, I feel like we should be preparing ourselves for what we are praying for. We should be confident and educated in what we are desiring from God. Preparation will forever be the key to our success. I want to encourage you to be praying for wisdom and understanding so you will know how to handle whatever comes your way. This will allow the blessing to never be a burden. As your life changes in seconds, you will be able to carry the weight of the miracle. I think about Paul and Silas chained and bound in jail as they sang hymns, the prison doors opened. (Acts 12;3-19) You see that was a sudden breakthrou...

Release The Grief!

Release The Grief! The pain that we endure by people we love is the most painful experience ever. I don't know about you, but I can feel it in my bones and my heart aches when experiencing this kind of pain. Being hit from a blind spot not seeing it coming from that individual. I don't know if it hurts more because we didn't expect it or because who the oppressor is, either way, it hurts. As I am growing more each day spiritually, I am learning it cost me more to dwell on it. I push myself to show that person love and not the phony cordial type, I mean the same ounce of love before they offended me. People are not obligated to treat me in an exact manner that I expect. That is my expectation for them, not theirs. Don't get me wrong I expect respect but when a person offends me, most of the time it's because they didn't do something that I wanted them too. Some cases, for some people, it can be very different and traumatic circumstances. Still, when you think ...
