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 a powerful tool when it comes to how you position yourself to being used in GODs hands.  He has made each person with special abilities and talents.  Yet GOD does not force you to use or accept them.  He wants you to be bold and have faith in Him via the gifts he has given you.  I am not saying that you need to toot your own horn.  Realize that you need to think of yourself in the terms that GOD thinks of you.  GOD thought that you were worth dying for.  He trusts you to give you an assignment to spread his gospel and use your talents for the good of the world.  In this light, no matter how low or high you place yourself; it is irrelevant in comparison to the value GOD has placed on you.  Place your confidence in Him, and don’t just go through the motions . . . Start living.  Let him shape you and recreate you in the image He has always wanted you to be!.  Find yourself in Him! 

 Be encouraged! I love you always and in all ways.

KNOW YOUR ROLL!

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. JERM 29:11 What is GOD Calling you to do. Are you seeking GOD's purpose for your own life or are you riding the coat tails of another? For years I fought the call of minister and pastor because the calling ran in my family. I wondered "am I projecting my own will into my life?" Was I only following my earthly role models? GOD does call us to respect and look to those soldiers in Christ that have answered their call of ministry. However GOD calls us to seek his will for our own lives. He has a special unique plan for each of us that is not designed after or a copy of someone else's. We need to stop saying the following: I want to be a pastor just like _______! I want to bless other financially just like_______! I want to be blessed just like ______! We should say this instead: I want to be like Christ when I be...

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...

COVERED!

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. John 8:7 Even though we know better, do we live parts of our lives in secret as if GOD is not watching. We need to ask God to shine a light on the areas we need to fix.   Yes we need fixing. Just as no man could throw the first stone at the woman caught in adultery, we cannot cast any judgment on to anyone but ourselves. We do not deserve  anything but death because of our sin. If we are dirty, and in no way worthy of GOD’s attention, then WHY!?!?!,.   .even though we deserve the stones to be thrown upon us does GOD cover for us.   In this scripture we are manifested in the face of the adulterous woman.   At one point in our lives we have chosen our way over GOD’s way. Realize that when we choose our way over GOD’s way that is sin.   Just as Satan sinned when pride entered his heart and he vowed to r...
