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 you from your destination. For instance, God is trying to mold you and equip you for your purpose which will change many lives but you can't focus and hear from him because you're too busy complaining about what you don't have and not fully invested in what he is trying to do in you. He may need you to read certain books and go to certain places but you are in your feelings and depressed because you feel like you're not achieving things in life. God is like hello! I am over here and your path to success is over here!

I want you to understand something the Bible teaches us to be happy no matter what to never let circumstances make you happy. That happy and joy is something from within. Think about all the people who would love to switch places with you that are in the hospital right now. They will pay whatever they have to get out of that hospital bed and have your portion. There are so many things to rejoice about. Listen, the fact, that you have a God who can do whatever we ask of him is something to rejoice about. The Lord says just ask and believe. ( Matthew 7:7-8 NKJV Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds and to him who knocks it will be opened.) The issue is we are not seeking from God or asking him we are complaining and comparing. We are complicating something that is so practical and easy. For some reason, we hold on to the negative and depression instead of tapping into the higher power and the one true source, God!

I don't know what you are facing but what I do know is that I have given all my anxiety and cares to God. I am tired of feeling weighed down by things that he has not created me to hold. I have tried it for so many years my way and the world's way. I am now fully committed to doing it Jesus way. If he says I can't lose with him than why not take that offer? Depression, believe it or not, is an option and we can get out of it. The thing is you have to be dedicated to having your happiness back, you have to fight for it. It is a strong spirit that does not want to let you go. So, you have to work on renewing your way of thinking and press toward the way of the Lord.

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 ...
