Don't Settle

By -

Good morning!
There is something down on the inside that will push you past thirsty people to get to your well. We find Ahab and Obadiah trying to figure out the carrying capacity of Samaria. They were trying to figure out how to ration out the supply during the drought. 1 Kings 18:7-16
When you live in a drought, you only attract thirsty people. You know those thirsty people that hate on you because you are looking for water. Don't allow the hatters to cause you to settle. Keep looking for your well as you know there are springs of living water in that well.
Be cautious that your faith does not look like religion more than relationship because you have become comfortable living in a drought. The drought can not be your destiny! There is something down on the inside that will push you past the thirsty people to get to your well. Don't settle and don't get comfortable! Live by Faith and find your well today. Hebrews 11

The Blessed Spirit

Good Morning! Everything God sends you comes in the Spirit! You prosper in your Spirit before you prosper in the flesh. God has given you fruits of the Spirit that far surpass any material possession you could ever seek to obtain. You are more wealthy than you know if you can begin to allow them to operate in your daily life! (Galatians 5:22-23) Is the only experience you have with God in church from week to week? Are you suffering from spiritual malnutrition? Your spiritual senses need to constantly be developed; what does your daily prayer and devotion time consist of (2 Timothy 2:15)? You have an outer-ear to hear audible noises, you have an inner-ear hear the Spirit of the Lord. You have an outer-eye to see natural things, you have an inner-eye so that you can see vision. If you continue to operate in the flesh, you lose your defense against the enemy. God wants you to connect with you in a way that is only possible when your spiritual senses are mature. It is not enough to simply...

How do you see yourself?

Pain, hurt and loss affect us to our core. We replay our painful experiences on a continuous loop in our minds.  We wish the outcome had been different--that he would have loved us more or that they wouldn’t have abused us.  But no matter how good we get at masking the pain, our wounds haven’t even begun to heal. All that happened in your past was damaging, but it resides in the past. As we cling to feelings of being unworthy, unlovable or damaged, we invite experiences into our lives that mirror these negative self beliefs.  No matter what you try, the painful memories weigh you down.  But today this changes.   It is within your power to stop the destruction and change the stories in your head. Use these 3 ways to acknowledge your pain and stop beating yourself up inside. 1. Overcome By Your Testimony Tell the truth about what happened to you, it’s long overdue. Stop lying about the depth of your pain. Let your guard down to those yo...

Think Right; Make Way For The Light

Disappointments, hurt , fear, shame, and guilt are all things we go through, once in a while (some more frequently than others) and we sometimes allow these things to weigh on us. What’s more is that in those dark moments, we become silent, and secretly let those thoughts and emotions eat away at us. We feel as though we can’t open up to anybody, because maybe we feel ashamed; maybe we fear feeling misunderstood; or maybe we feel like we don’t want to burden others with our problems. Indeed, making errors is a normal, if unwanted, part of life. Every one of us has moments we are not proud of – moments when anger, jealousy or our insecurities get in the way of our living in the light. Yet, we are called on to realize that the darkness cannot and will not overshadow our good. Studies have found that people who think they can learn from their mistakes bounced back quickly after an error. It may feel like it is too late, or too much has passed, but never doubt that...
