Just Show Up

Image
Just Show UP In life, you have two options to win or lose. The only way you can win is to show up and show out. Remember the devil wants to kill, steal, and destroy. He hates for you to win. He throws everything at you so you can lose. The devil intends for you to forfeit and fold. He knows that if you keep moving forward you will eventually walk in your promise. Your biggest admirer overcame some things and because of that God rewards them with overflow. The bible says in due time you will reap a harvest if you don't quit. (Galatians 6:9 NKJV And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.) You see the Lord understands the trials and tribulations we face and he assures us that they are not in vain. God did not put us here on earth to suffer and to live in fear. He wants the Christians to live a peaceful and abundant life. Keep this in your heart and move forward and show up. If God place in your heart a desire t...

I Can Do It

Image
I Can Do It In life, we find ourselves uplifting and cheering others on. Then when it comes to ourselves we are timid and pulling back feeling like we can't do it. We can't move forward. We can't win or achieve our goal. We can't find inner peace. The devil is a liar and he is defeated. You can accomplish anything thru Christ. Jesus said in the Bible anything is possible with God.  (Matthew 19;26) You are created to win and beat all odds. The same energy we put into cheering others on is the same energy we must use for ourselves. Believe in yourself and think about how your ending will look, be prudent.  Don't give up so quick because this world is based on instant gratification. Walk the process and let God do a new thing in you so you can feel confident in your walk. As we allow God to do a new thing in our lives we learn to feel confident and we feel unstoppable. We create an I can do it mentality and we start pursuing things we would never think was reach...

Delayed Obedience Is Disobedience

Image
Delayed Obedience Is Disobedience How many times do we say God use me or God what do you want me to do? Then, he speaks, but we fail to act on what he instructed for us to do. Simply because what he asks of us seems foolish or out of our comfort zone. I don't know about you, but I am so guilty in doing this. This conviction is something that I need in my spirit because I need to grow and mature in my walk. Being obedient is vital to our walk. It is the only way faith can work as well. When we are looking for breakthroughs and miracles, they're tied in with obedience. Each time in the bible everyone had to be obedient to receive anything. Jesus, showed us the power of obedience, faith, and prayer as he took the cross. It was his prayer in the garden of Gethsemane that was the true power of obedience. Just think about if he delayed or didn't take up the cross in that specific hour. You see with God everything has an appointed time. You don't want to miss the window...

It's Not A Denial It's A Get Ready

It's Not A Denial It's A Get Ready! This is going to be one of my most personal and truthful blogs to date. Don't get me wrong all my blogs are truthful but this one I will be really transparent. I want to help as many people as I can with my life experiences. I believe this is what life is about. Sharing and caring. I find that many are struggling especially in the Christian community. It is a sad sight to see because we are the ones who should be thriving, no doubt, but we also know many are the afflictions of the righteous. Recently I have been praying for wisdom and for God to reveal to me my mishaps, shortcomings, and areas that need more growth. When I tell you he showed me that and so much more. I had to let the world know too. I was pondering to myself how a lot of us are probably doing the same things. But being scared to pray that specific prayer of revelation some are still blind. You see many of us are struggling because of our lack of assessment of our w...

Prayers Are Very Vital

Image
Prayers Are Very Vital I believe in my heart, that people don't understand the importance of prayer and how effective it is in our walk. The bible teaches us that prayers are very effective and powerful for the saint of the Lord. It is how we access the heavens. It is our way of decreeing a thing. God can't move until a prayer is released it gives him full authority to reign in our lives. Prayer should always be done before you do anything in life. By praying about it you are giving God the power to move in on your behalf. It allows the Holy Spirit to do his part, they work hand in hand. You can find yourself complaining and wondering why nothing is changing but then you must ask yourself, did you pray about it? Did you pray in faith? In the book of James in the Bible, he says to pray and pray with confidence and a person who lacks belief shouldn't expect to receive anything from the Lord. (James 1) As you continue to read in James he goes on to say that a person...

Living In Peace

Image
Living In Peace There is nothing that is more valuable in this life besides peace. I never understood until I truly let peace reign in my life. When Jesus, said he gives peace and gives it abundantly, I now understand why.  It is what the world neglects to seek and why everyone feels so inadequate even when they have obtained all the materialistic things. Peace is what the devil steals from everyone it is actually the first thing he attacks. When reading the Bible especially in the New Testament, the writers encourages and teaches us how to have joy in every circumstance. In fact, David was the first to really get in depth about the power of peace in turmoil.  Life can be very vicious and we must learn how to keep our peace in every circumstance. Peace keeps all health issues away as well. Your blood pressure never rises when you master the art of giving it to Jesus. Jesus says to cast all cares on him. It is his way of saying you're not designed to carry the weight of ...

Know When It's Time To Go

Image
Know When It's Time To Go Often times we cry and pray asking God when will our breakthrough arrive? Then the moment gets near and we are not prepared because we have waisted so much time complaining and in our feelings. You see the truth is the moment when all hell is waging against us is the moment we are to stand in faith and prepare ourselves for what God promised us. What us Christians, forget is that the Bible teaches us that affliction and trials come especially when you're in alignment with God. It shouldn't be a surprise when opposition comes but it should be our sign that we are right on track. I never truly understood until now, why the Bible says to rejoice in affliction. It is our indicator that you belong to God. The devil will never oppress someone he already has. He wants who he doesn't have. The person who won't bow down to him. Satan agenda is to take as many as he can with him to hell and prove to God that people will bow to him. Think about...

Ishmel Leads To Depression

Image
Ishmel Leads To Depression I know some of you are looking at the title and saying to yourselves, Ishmel? Let me elaborate for those who are not familiar with the Bible scriptures. There is a story of a man named Abraham, who had a wife named, Sarah. Abraham wife couldn't conceive children but God made a promise to Abraham that she would give birth to a son and his descendants will be as numerous as the stars in the sky. However, Sarah wasn't patient and had her husband lay with their maidservant named Hagar, I know very Jerry Springer. Then she later got jealous of Hagar and the baby named Ishmel. She was complaining to Abraham and later God told Abraham to send Hagar and the child away and no worries he gave Hagar and the boy a promise as well. (Genesis 16) Sarah finally conceived a baby boy named Issac but she was around ninety years of age and Abraham was a hundred years old. The issue here is patience. To be honest, when it comes to a promise from the Lord, this is ...

You're Not Alone

Image
You're Not Alone I have been doing a series on depression lately and teaching how to overcome it. Majority of the world is dealing with some type of form of depression and believe or not social media has been the source behind a lot of people's depression. People who were once successful and confident now find themselves questioning their abilities to soar and frustrated with their position in life due to comparing their portion. I think we truly forget that people mostly share their highlights very few are honest and pictures are just that pictures. However, we have summed pictures and likes to be equivalent to our success. It is crazy when you think about it but the truth is at this moment this is our reality. This is why I believe God has placed on my heart the importance of trusting him, his timing, and will for our lives. To be happy for others but be confident and joyful for your own portion. It is all apart of the devil schemes and distractions and it will derail...

Fight It

Image
Fight It As you moved forward to the unfamiliar territory you will have a sense of uncertainty and feel inadequate for your journey. The devil will start placing doubt in your heart and mind. Now, don't get me wrong to feel uncertain and a little out of place is very normal. Anything new feels strange but to feel stagnate and stuck scared to continue to move forward is of the devil. The closer you are the more things seem hard or attacks come harder. You know that the Bible teaches us that we will face many trials and afflictions. but it also says that there is a way out of all. Longevity requires sweat, tears, and disappointments at times. There is no overnight success with God. He is a perfector and will mold you into what he needs you to be for the task. While you may feel like you're ready in God's eyes maybe not. Especially if he is doing something new in your life, you must be equipped for the task. This is why is very imperative that we stop competing in our w...
