WHO ARE YOU?

Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he Everyone sees themselves in a certain light.   Men of importance place themselves on a pedestal while others see themselves as worth less than what they really are.   These thoughts are manifested by the words you speak. You may not talk about yourself directly but you give insight to the value you set for yourself via the tone and nature of your attitude towards life that is highlighted by the way you communicate (verbal, and non-verbal)! The question I ask you is: What do you think of yourself?   I will not just hear the answer.   I will see it as well.   I will see it in your actions and hear it in your words.   Others will know if you love yourself by how you carry yourself.   Some will see the confidence you have for your future by the goals you set for yourself.   Deeper still, I will know the content and source of your character by where you put your faith and whom you consult.   Your words and thoughts are

AWAKEN

Ephesians 5:14-20   14  This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” 15  Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16  making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17  Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. 18  Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, 19  speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, 20  always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.   Getting serious about how and what we do will require us to look within ourselves.   We need to wake up and rise!   Rise to the level where GOD is calling us to go.   I know that we have all heard GOD calling us.   Some have pushed His voice from our ears and have chosen our way over His.   Some of us are trying to wake up but

POWERLESS!

Job 42:1-6 Then Job answered the Lord and said: 2 “I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you. 3 You asked, ‘Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorance?’ It is I—and I was talking about things I knew nothing about, things far too wonderful for me. 4 You said, ‘Listen and I will speak! I have some questions for you, and you must answer them.’ 5 I had only heard about you before, but now I have seen you with my own eyes. 6 I take back everything I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance.” We think we have control over some aspects of our lives.   We make plans and dream about our future and at times we forget to consult GOD.   And sometimes when we get too high and forget that GOD is in control GOD has to remind us that we are truly powerless and totally dependent on Him.     Do you think that just because you have a degree, and have achieved a level of success that you have a say in the direction your life should

THEY SAY?!?!

Numbers 13:30-32          But Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, "Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it." Then the men who had gone up with him said, "We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are." So they brought to the people of Israel a bad report of the land that they had spied out, saying, "The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people that we saw in it are of great height     Are you seriously worried about what “they” think?   “They” say you are weak to believe in a GOD who is silent.   “They” say you will never make it!   “They” say you are too short, tall, ugly, and ill equipped to accomplish anything.   “They” even say that this “Jesus” never existed and you are missing reality by believing in him. But I ask you; Does what “they” say , have anything to do with what GOD has said and d
