There are many things that have been uncovered over the last five days, but here is what I am led to share with you today:  the natural mind cannot comprehend the things of God.  You must know that as a fact and remember it daily. Minimize the absolute need for logical explanations, reasoning, and justifications.  The word of God and the truth that is revealed in you, through you, and to you is sufficient for your life and consistent righteous living. You have been created for success and fulfillment. Trust God, follow his instructions, and he will lead you to that desired place of wisdom, prosperity, and renewal.  Keep praying and diligently seeking His face.   Consider how your thoughts and coupled with the  need for it all to make perfect sense have hindered your ability to obey. 

What have you delayed because you’ve been trying to get it  to make sense to others? What thoughts are  keeping  you from stepping into new territory? The end of seeking God is increased faith and the resolve to obey.  Determine today that you will obey the instructions of the Lord and trust that He is on your side.  What action step can you take to demonstrate that you believe? Step out in faith. Pursue the goal or dream that He has placed in your heart.  He’s waiting on you.

Blessings to you!

Just wanted to share a few reminders from this week’s show, “Creating Sustainable Momentum.”

Remember, it all begins with ATTITUDE.

Make sure what you think, feel, and do about a situation are in line with God’s will and you just might have to hold on to your hat as momentum kicks in.

How are you doing so far?

“Has Kingdom Become a Buzzword?”

Most people know that I am runner, but what they probably don’t know is that my instructions for running are the result of prayer.  This morning, I was inspired to run just for the love of it. My instructions were to forget the clock, not worry about the weather, and enjoy the experience.  So, I ran about 23K just for the joy of it with no worries about the clock or the impending rain storm. My thought as I got started:  no matter what happens I will be fine because this is what I love. I even love to run in the rain. 

 Today, as you do what you do, consider what motivates you. Is it love?  Consider how activities motivated by love actually touch the heart of God.  What you do that is motivated by love brings joy to you and the Father.  You were created to bring him pleasure. The reality though is sometimes  things start to feel more like chores than joyful activities. This probably happens as a result of being too rigid or worrying too much about the challenges we see on the horizon.  Beloved of God, I remind you that God wants you to live an extraordinary life.  As you move towards greater success and fulfillment remind yourself that it’s okay to relax and do things because you love them.  Choose not to be overwhelmed by self-imposed limitations. Choose to remember that you can conquer any mountain or overcome any obstacles that may arise. Commit to enjoying the activities of your life and you will find that “all things do indeed work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28. 

 Without any regard for time and the sky getting darker and darker, I finished my run with a burst of energy and a song of praise. Interestingly enough, I made it into the house just before the downpour.  When I finally looked at my watch I realized I had run the course faster than I would have if I had been paying close attention to every split.  The point, sometimes you just have to relax, do it, and trust God with the outcome.  He always has your success in mind. 

“For I know the plans I think towards you saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not evil to give you an expected end.” Jeremiah 29:11

Just a quick thought today… 

Communication is the essence of any good relationship. If you want to improve your spiritual relationship then pay careful attention to your communication with God.  Make every effort to communicate consistently, clearly, and confidently. 

Blessings to you!

It seems today, even among some leaders, “Kingdom” has almost taken on a type of buzz word status.  Many say it, some acknowledge it, but few truly live under the authority and rule of God which, in fact, is Kingdom.  The departure from living in line with true Kingdom principles and values has left man in greater need of a Savior than ever before.  This creates quite a problem for man, but God has already provided a solution… His Word a.k.a. Jesus Christ.  As a believer you should desire to live a life consistent with the principles of the Kingdom.  Although there are many aspects of living a kingdom life, today, I want to share a few thoughts on valuing and living the word.  

1. Honor the Word of God. To honor is to place a higher regard on its life giving power than your own habits, opinions, and thinking.  You must value the Word more than life itself.

2.  Receive the Word.  To receive the word means to listen with a heart to obey or put into practice what you’ve heard.  The Word is transforming—but only if you apply it.  Don’t just listen, but do what it says.  When you receive enlightenment put it into practice immediately.

3. Declare the Word.  This is not a blanket call for everyone to come out preaching, but to let the power of your life testify to the perfecting, saving, delivering, refining power of the Word. Your life has been given to reveal the glory and power of God. It does that as you live for him.

Remember, you have been given a sphere of influence and when you walk in humble submission to the Word of God the light of God within you shines and declares his goodness.

Blessings to you,

The life of Jesus teaches us a lot about living.  Do we really learn from his example? 

You must consciously appreciate that he was completely God and fully man.  He slept, ate, walked, talked, cried, and prayed.  He got tired, he got excited, and he got hurt. He was misunderstood, despised, taken advantage of, and betrayed.  He endured ridicule, mocking, and belittling. Did I mention that he even had issues with friends? Yet, his focus was not on those things, but what he was sent to do. He manifested worship. He chose righteousness.  He chose to follow the mandates of the Father.  He chose to love.  He chose to forgive. He healed.  He delivered.  He encouraged. He corrected.   He chose to remain in integrity. He gave his life for others. He exhibited supernatural power.   He is the quintessential example of the power of choosing to live a life of humility, holiness, and righteousness.  Will you make the same choices?

Today, decide to really follow the Master.  Follow closely, make kingdom choices and you will find that you will live the life God intended.

Jesus said unto them, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father but by me.” John 14: 6

As I hit the road this morning I just want to remind you that you are important to God. 

You are his greatest asset on earth. Every dream, vision, plan he ordained for your life will happen as you trust and obey him. 

Today, be confident in him and have confidence in your ability to master every situation life presents.  You are already identified as being more than a conqueror. 

 “Being confident in this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:” Philippians 1:6

Gotta run.

Blessings to you!

Just a simple thought today:

Your experience of being blessed, fulfilled, and happy is directly proportional to the level of reverence and obedience you have for the Lord.  These things can and should be constants in the life of a believer.  The true condition of your life has been spoken from the mouth of the Lord.  Being blessed, fulfilled, and happy are not conditions based on the circumstances the world presents you, but the circumstances deemed right to the Lord.

Embrace the life God designed for you today, by lifting the level of your reverence and obedience and you will see an increase in your experience of living a Kingdom life.    

Blessed is everyone that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.  For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands:  happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. Psalm 128:1-2

Before I hit the road this morning, I will share some thoughts I still have rolling around in my head from Sunday’s message. 

You are God’s greatest asset on Earth. He wants you to release all aspects of the power he has given you.  In fact, God is calling you to release it daily.  There should be no disparity between the life you have received and the life you manifest in the world. 

God has given you:

   ·         Power with him

 ·         Power over the enemy

 ·         Power to love

 ·         Power to change

 ·         Power to forgive

 ·         Power to bless

 ·         Power to live

 ·         Power to speak

 ·         Power to stand

 ·         Power to prevail

 ·         Power to obtain wealth

  I could go on forever, but I’ll simply leave you with a few thoughts.   First, ask yourself what area is at the top of your list to be released today?  Second, as you move through this day think about your identified area based on the Word of God. Then commit to revealing more of his nature by operating in the power he has given you.  Finally, note the changes and give him praise. “If you live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” Galatians 5:26
