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 done?  To “them” you should say, “When I was told I couldn’t have any children GOD blessed me with a child”. Tell “them” “When I was given six months to live, GOD took away my cancer”. Tell “them”, “When I should have been broke, and jobless, GOD blessed me with a job and an increase in the midst of a recession”!

 You see, “they” talk, but GOD acts.  GOD delivers!  GOD specializes in success and shutting “them” up each day.  Do not; (I repeat) do not become one of “them” by your words and deeds.  You see they “speak” out of fear and a lack of faith.  When you live a life that reflects fear, you will start to speak and act like “they” do.  You will put limitations on GOD.  You will let that fear infiltrate every section of your thoughts and prayers.   You will end your prayers with doubt in your heart  as if you are preparing yourself for failure and to be let down.  Remember remove all roots of fear from your life and vocabulary.  Expect success and the impossible from GOD.  Do not limit your prayers and requests to what you feel you can accomplish on your own.  When you have faith in yourself, you lose faith in GOD, and in essence become one of “them”.

 Rest assured that whatever GOD has promised you is already yours.  Sometimes our hands and arms are not strong enough to receive it, so GOD is training us up for the blessing to come.  “They” have no idea what GOD has already done.  “They” will not know what to do when you are secure in the land of promise that GOD has given you.  “They “don’t even know, nor can “they” comprehend what GOD is doing right now.  Remember, faith and fear are the lines of separation that determines if you are with GOD or “them”.

 
Be encouraged and remember: I love you always and in all ways.

Never Lose You!

Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? _____________________________________________________ The world would have you believe that it has all of the answers.   The world will tell you that what you see, hear, feel, touch and smell is all that is real and worth living for.   But you may not know or understand that living for the rewards of this world come at a cost.   The world’s influence, when used as the blueprint for living, takes your heart and shapes it to its will leaving you an empty shell of who you really are. Nothing in this world is worth changing who you are in Christ.   There is no middle ground in the issue.   Yes, we are all a work in progress and live in this world, but who we are is not dictated by anything or anyone in this world.   Who you are is worth more than whatever this world has to offer.   Do not chase the image the world is selling you.   Unless...

NEW BEGINNINGS

Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert   Some of us are stuck in our present and being held back by our past.   We struggle with what might be and what “was”, all the while God is shining a light on the door that leads into a place of renewal and challenge.   The question is; Why do we hesitate to turn the key and accept the challenge? We must be open and faithful to the plan of God in our lives.   In o ur past and present we have developed a perceived control, but our future is totally in God’s hands.   We need to recognize and accept that in all things God’s will needs to be done.   Do not let fear, and uncertainty become the stumbling blocks that motivate you to sway from God’s plan.   Be bold and accept his will and way for your future.   Look for his guidance and leave the past where it belongs.   ...

TIME!

James 4:14   Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. __________________________________________________________ Our plans and plots are events that we try to cram into the short time we have on this earth.   The term YOLO is very true.   We only have one life, and one short chance to live and make a difference in this world.   When we make plans for our lives we are, at best, looking at a very small slice of time.   Our time is like a seed.   A seed is small!  Yet it will leave a legacy that will be manifested in the tree and fruit that is produced.   The seed will die but what it leaves behind speaks to what was planted.   What have you decided to do with your time?   Strive to let your life edify God and leave a legacy of love via your life of expression.   Express the gift that God has given you through His son Jesus Chris...
