Generation Next Should Be On Now

Yesterday we were blessed to have another successful Youth Sunday at our church. Our children and teens led the worship and a couple even brought the Word. It was so encouraging to see the kids giving God praise in their own way.

A lot of churches have some sort of Youth Sunday or even Youth Church where the young people lead the service once a month or even their own services on a weekly basis. I think, however, that we should encourage the youth to lead alongside the adults. Not only will it help encourage and strengthen the young people's faith, but it will help the older generation get a fresh outlook as well.

We all have something to learn from each other. And the young people can add to the mix as well. I think a lot of young people are leaving the church because they don't feel that their opinion is valued or wanted.

The older generation has to loosen up the reigns and let the young people in. We shouldn't be running everything. And, if we've trained them up in the right way, we can trust that they will lead accordingly.

Yeah, their tempo may be a bit faster than we'd like. And, yes, they may not dress as traditionally as we would prefer. But, if their message is Christ and their presentation holy, who are we to stop their praise?

There's something about watching a young person who is truly in love with God participate in worship... We all need to see that on a more regular basis. The young people who fill the pews need to see that more than once a month. Teens need to see adults enter into the presence of God at their lead.

We cannot ignore and neglect the upcoming generation. We have to embrace them and include them fully in order to keep them in the church. Plus, they have some wisdom we can glean from them as well. The prophet himself said that in the last days a little child would lead us. (Isaiah 11:6) We all need to be reminded of the power of child-like faith.

Verse of the Day: But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 19:14

Thanksgiving Friday!

Well, saints... We made it to the end of another week. So thankful! God certainly has been good this week.

This week I'm thankful to be back in school. I am proud that I'm making the effort to get some more knowledge. This class is proving to be a challenge already. I have so much to do! Reading, watching lectures, reading, writing discussion boards... did I say reading?

But thank God that He's given me such a remarkable mind! I can and will get an A in this class! Thank you, Lord, for giving me the ability to do it!

I am also thankful for inspiration. I have been mulling over some things this week, and God is bringing up some projects that He's given me to do. I'm listening to His voice. Gotta keep moving forward. I can't go backwards or stand still.

Thank you, Father, for reminding me about your purpose for me. I give you praise for Your words to me on this week. I'm going to do it!

Lastly, I'm thankful for health and strength. Too many people are sick around me. People are coughing and sniffing. There was even a couple of cases of pink eye in the school this week. However, they may fall on my right or my left, but I won't fall with them!

I have remained healthy and strong, and I am covered by the blood of Jesus. Sickness will not come near my dwelling place. Thank you, Jesus, for bearing those stripes so I can stay whole.

What are you thankful for this week? What has God done for you? Send up the praise!

Verse of the Day: And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Colossians 3:15

Still Good

God is good!

God is good all the time. And all the time God is good.

Despite what's going on in my life right now, I take comfort that through it all God's goodness is shining through.

The Israelites were slaves to the Egyptians, yet the Lord blessed their numbers to increase to the point where Pharaoh was threatened. When they were travelling in the wilderness, God sent countless miracles, fed them out of thin air, and caused them to be victorious over every enemy that crossed their path.

Despite how it seemed that they were down and out, God was still good.

When Esther was orphaned, she was left to her cousin Mordecai who took care of her as his own. Then, she was stolen away to become a part of the king's audition for a new queen. God allowed her beauty (and quite possibly her intelligence as well) to make her stand out from the impressive group of women. Esther was chosen to be queen, and was in the right place to save her people.

In spite of how her life twisted and turned, God was still good.

Daniel was taken as a hostage from his homeland. He was brought to a foreign place and forced to take on a foreign culture as his own. Still God allowed Daniel's wisdom and comeliness to give him a place in the king's palace. Even when Daniel faced having to surrender his religious practices, God granted Daniel favor with those over him. Daniel received special treatment because of his devotion to the Lord. And, because of Daniel's continued devotion to the Father, he moved up to one of the highest positions in that kingdom.

No matter that Daniel's entire world was taken from him, God was still good.

So, what's going on with you? What has turned your world topsy-turvy?

Are you still recognizing God's goodness in the midst of it all?

Or are you just focusing on the negative?

Just some thoughts for you as you go about your day.

Verse of the Day: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. Psalm 23:6

Afternoon Ti: Hidden for a Purpose

I am by no means a huge Tyler Perry fan... but you cannot deny that the man is successful at what he does. I came across this video in my daily reading today and was blessed by what was shared.

We don't always know the big picture, and God may have us hidden for a reason. The Israelites were blatantly underestimated by their enemies and were able to destroy Jericho as a result. Don't think delay is denial! God has you on course for something great!

Thanks, Tyler, for the inspiration...

Impact

When I was in elementary school, probably around 5th or 6th grade, we had an assembly where a woman came to speak to our school. I went to a Christian school, so this woman's angle was spiritual. I don't remember exactly what she talked about or how her presentation went. I do remember her altar call.

She had us stand and spoke words about the love of God. Then she prayed for us as we stood. I just remember feeling the presence of God to the point where tears started flowing down my cheeks. When we opened our eyes, my friends saw that I had been crying, and a couple asked what was wrong. They hadn't felt what I had felt, and I couldn't form my emotion into words.

All I knew was that I had felt the hand of God, and I wanted to have that kind of impact on other people in the same way.

Yesterday I talked about being the change that you seek. When thinking about how you want to impact the world, just consider what has impacted you. If that person hadn't said what they spoke to you, started the program that engaged you, or ministered to you in your time of need, how would your life be different?

I want to be able to make a difference in the life of a young person. I want to be a vehicle God can use to bring His touch to the heart of a teen. Even if all I reach is one soul, that is one soul whose heart will be changed for the better.

Take some time today to consider those people who have made impressions on your life that changed you for the better. As you appreciate their contribution to your existence, think about whether someone can have those same admirable thoughts about you. Can anyone say that they are better because of how you impacted them?

Verse of the Day: And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works... Hebrews 10:24

Be The Change

What is God showing you?

There's a saying: Be the change you seek. It should be my life's mantra.

Everywhere I look, there are so many things that I see that could be done better, more effectively, more creatively... I have so much that I would like to see improved, implemented, and invented.

I just have to get it through my skull that just thinking about something will not bring about results. I have to put some action with my thoughts.

One of the highlights of my life is a youth event that I started when I was a senior in high school. I wanted to have a night where different youth groups came together and presented their gifts in the arts to the Lord. For about five years I was blessed to see those nights happen on a yearly basis. Our church was packed with young people who came together to praise God. To this day, I still get requests on starting back the youth nights.

This all began because I had a neat idea. I saw something that I wanted to be happening in reality. But I didn't just sit and think on it. I acted on it, put in a lot of work, and saw God move. I became the change that I envisioned.

What things do you see around you that you would like changed? What can you do about them? Scratch that. What is stopping you from doing something about them? If the answer is merely yourself, you need to get up and be the change!

Let's go out and make this world a better place today!

Verse of the Day: Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee... For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:6a, 7

Heartbreak

Last week I ran across the story of Amber Cole. I couldn't bear to watch the actual video, but the stills did enough to shake me. My heart broke seeing how this young girl - and the young boys around her, for that matter - were being so casual and blase' about what was going on. These kids were outside on school property!

So, now it's plastered all over the Internet for anyone willing to watch. And people are going in on this little girl. I mean, they are attacking her as if she is a grown woman. This child is 14!

If that wasn't enough, the follow up pleas from supposed friends or just sympathetic people also raised my eyebrows. They insisted that she had done nothing wrong, and did not deserve the onslaught of criticism and derisive comments she was enduring.

So, of course I had to have a talk with my teen ministry about what was going on. We've had talks about sexual promiscuity before, but this conversation was a bit more real. Folks, our young people are not seeing their value and self-worth. Some of the things we would have never done so casually, these kids are doing the first time they hang out. It's one step over making out to them.

Young girls are thinking that they are saving their virginity, but are still performing oral sex. They don't see the big deal. They don't recognize what's so wrong.

And our young boys... like the Amber Cole video so sadly depicted, if they can get it... They will take it.

I had a true heart-to-heart with my teens. And I'm glad to know that I'm in touch with them enough to know that they are not engaging in such reckless behavior that is not pleasing to the Lord. However, they represent a small sample of our youth population at large.

There are more Amber Cole's out there. There are more young boys who are willing to take advantage of a situation. There are many young people who don't see what the big deal is.

Saints, we cannot sit silent. We cannot sit back and just shake our heads in judgment. We have to go and talk to them, mentor them, show them their value and worth. We have to be that light that will help them to think of how God sees them, how they should see themselves, and how the world sees them.

It's all of our responsibilities to help better the world around us. The Christ in us has to stand up and show our young people a better way.

Verse of the Day: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Romans 12:1

Thanksgiving Friday!

It's still Friday, and God is still worthy of praise!

I am thankful that I get the afternoon off. I really need to just sit and be after all of this activity the last few days. I'm also still so grateful for this job. I loved that I got to know a few more students and interact with them and their parents last night. Youth are so inspiring to my spirit. I am definitely going to work on my Ultimate Destiny this weekend. Gotta get my own flow flowing!

I'm also thankful for the prayers of the saints. To be honest, earlier this week I was not feeling it. I didn't want to pray, read a Bible, or even watch a preacher on tv. I had a moment. Thank God for my holy friends, because they said the words when I could not. They lifted me up when I could not. The moment passed, and I was still on the Lord's side. Hallelujah!

Lastly, I'm thankful for the blessings of the Lord. They truly make you rich and add no sorrow. (Proverbs 10:22) I am blessed in so many ways, and I am grateful to God for how He has enriched my life. I may be facing some struggles and situations, but I am nowhere near where I could be. And for that, Lord, I would like to thank you.

What are you thankful for this week? You know the drill: Send up your praise!

Verse of the Day: A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. Proverbs 17:17

Keep Believing

Principals' Breakfast... Parent Newsletters... Parent Teacher Conferences... Report Card Pickup...

These are all the reasons why I didn't post yesterday. And I am truly sorry. Despite my working til late into the evening yesterday, I am still here bright and early working this morning. So, why not bless you with the post you missed?

-----------------------------------------------


The last couple of days I've been thinking on the father of the demoniac child who was told about in Mark 9:14-27.

This man had been through all sorts of trouble trying to help take care of his son from the time the boy was a child. He had to rescue his son from fires, from drowning, from harming his own self. This father had to do all of this while his son could not utter a word.

Then, he hears about the miracles that Jesus is doing and brings his son thinking that maybe they could help.

Imagine his disappointment and hurt seeing the disciples lay hands on his son to no avail.

No wonder when Jesus said that anything was possible to those that believed, the father cried out: "Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief." (Mark 9:24)

That is sort of where I am right now. I've heard about the miracles God can do. I've seen things in my own life that I know only God could have worked. Yet, I am dealing every day with a person who is in need of a miracle. I am caring for someone who is so dear to me that is not completely whole.

I believe that God can do it, but Lord... help with the part of me that doubts at times.

Thankfully, the story doesn't end with the disciples attempt. Jesus knew exactly what it took to heal the boy.  He spoke the words of life, and the boy was healed.

We all are facing some kind of trial or situation that is pushing our faith to another level. We might have been able to easily believe God for other things, but this more difficult situation may be causing us to hesitate in our stance.

We cannot allow what's going on to keep us from our miracle. We cannot let disappointment deter us from our destiny. We have to continue to believe. We have to cry out to the Lord for strength to continue to believe.

We can't give up! We can't lose hope. We have to continue to stand in faith. The Jesus who was able to heal the demoniac boy is our King and Redeemer. He can deliver us from our afflictions in the same way. We must continue to trust.

Verse of the Day: But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26

To Worship God I Live...

So, I've been busy working all morning. Love it!

While I was working, I had my Pandora playing Israel & New Breed's station and right now I'm listening to Lecrae's. I love worship! You can really tell when an artist is genuinely entering into the throne room, and I love to go in with them.

It's so incredible how music can translate you to an entirely different level when you spend time with God. David is a prime example of the power of worship. No wonder he was able to do warfare on behalf of the enemies of God's people. Only someone who spent genuine face time with the Lord could go out and do such damage in God's name.

And his love for God got the Lord's attention and grabbed the Father's heart.

Makes you think. If God considered your worship, would he say that you are a person after His heart? Has He heard the song of worship from your lips lately? Has He been moved to pour out His Spirit on yours because of the love you've given out to Him?

Praise and worship is not just a Sunday morning activity. It can be an intimate personal time that the two of you can share to deepen your love. The rewards are great. Take some time and indulge in some worship today.

Verse of the Day: O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. Psalm 95:6

A Thought.

I love to think.

I can sit and mull over something from every angle imaginable... and then start all over again.

Often, my thinking involves what could happen. If I do this, then this... If they say this, then I'll do that... When this comes in, I'll go here... On and on.

It gets worse when I'm facing a problem or challenge. I can work myself into quite a state contemplating all the scenarios that could go down. What's funny is more times than not, what actually winds up happening is something I never even thought of.

I do not even know why I keep up the habit.

Okay, yes I do. I like to feel like I'm in control. I like to feel like I have some kind of say over what is going to happen in my life. I want to feel like I'm prepared for whatever may come my way.

So, I think.

Yet what I should be focusing on is what I know. I know my God is ultimately the One in control. I know that no matter what happens, He's got my back. I know that there's nothing that will happen to me that He doesn't allow. I should be okay with that knowledge alone.

I'm working on it.

Verse of the Day: And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 1 Corinthians 8:2

Makes No Cents...

So, I was cruising my morning blogrolls this morning when I came across this article on The Christian Post. Apparently people are cutting back on their tithes, and the church is cutting back on charitable giving in order to keep those folks in the pews who are cutting back on their giving.

Did you catch that?

I'll wait while you re-read the sentence.

To me, this speaks volumes to where we are as a nation. We are a nation that is fully focused on self-preservation and keeping ourselves happy. There's nothing wrong with these things in theory. But when they start getting in the way of our mandated role to evangelize the lost, we start tipping into the wrong territory.

Yes, the recession is hard on a lot of folks. That doesn't mean that you neglect your Father's house.

And more shame on the churches who are stumbling over themselves to placate the people in the pews. Yes, people love to attend "how-to-get-your-blessing" and "prosperity-is-yours-today" and "you-are-amazing" conferences and meetings. Folks enjoy amenities like movie nights, trips, and coffee shops in the lobby.

But, at what cost?

Are the monies that are being used for these extra perks taking away from missions, evangelism, and community outreach?

According to the article they are.

We all need to take a good, hard look at how we handle these things with the Lord. Are we being good stewards? Are we being selfish? Are we acting out of fear?

There are lives that are hanging in the balance.

Verse of the Day: And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9

Thanksgiving Friday!

Happy Friday!

I'm loving this weekend because I actually get to enjoy it! I'm going to dinner with my best friend, getting a chance to hang with my mentees, relaxing... It's good all around. I hope you get to enjoy yours as well.

Today I am thankful for wisdom. Last night at my church's Leadership Team meeting we enjoyed a sermon on allowing the Holy Spirit to lead your footsteps. When you allow the Holy Spirit to lead, supernatural things will happen! The man of God brought so much revelation, I have to go back through my notes and reprocess it all!

I love it when I get to enjoy new gems from the Word! It's so amazing to hear someone bring forth a Word that opens your eyes to a whole new realm in God. Thank you, Lord, for using your vessels to relay your virtues to us!

I'm also thankful for self-control. God is helping me shore up a weak spot. I'm determined not to fall. It's hard shutting this flesh down at times, but the reward is so great, I can't give in! When I see the big-picture vision that God has for my life, my little bitty feelings mean nothing. I'll pass. I can wait for the Promise.

What are you thankful for today? Are you allowing the Holy Spirit to lead your footsteps? Make sure you send up a praise today!

Verse of the Day: But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 1 Corinthians 2:10

Still Waking Up...

Today it is rainy and gray outside my window. I woke up late, and stayed in the bed for as long as possible. I am not feeling it quite yet.

However... It's a new day! Great is the Lord's faithfulness toward us. His mercies are still new today like they are every morning! (Lamentations 3:22, 23) So, I will open my mouth and give Him glory!

Today is definitely an Afternoon Ti kind of day. Gotta wait til these creative juices start flowing. For now, we can sip on some of David's words...

Verse of the Day:
LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory in the heavens.

Through the praise of children and infants
you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.


When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?
You have made them a little lower than the angels
and crowned them with glory and honor.

You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
you put everything under their feet:
all flocks and herds,
and the animals of the wild,
the birds in the sky,
and the fish in the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.


LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Psalm 8 (NIV)

Who Knows?

I'm still meditating on fulfilling your purpose in God.

Jonah's claim to fame was literally going the in the opposite direction that God was calling him to. As a result, Jonah jeopardized the lives of the people he was travelling with. It was only when he put his life on the line that Jonah was able to spare those around him.

And he still had to go back and do what the Lord asked him to do.

Many of us are undercover Jonah's out here. We know God has called us to action, but we are doing the total opposite: nothing.

We may not be in the midst of a great storm with the potential to be killed and have others killed with us. But who knows how many lives are being adversely affected because of our inaction? Who knows how many souls will go unsaved because we did not open our mouths when God asked us to speak? Who knows how many lives will not be improved because we did not put the programs and visions in place that God gave to us?

When Jonah wised up, he saved a whole city from being destroyed. When we wise up as a body of Christ, we can save this world from destruction.

Verse of the Day: And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them... And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not. Jonah 3:4, 5, 10

No Excuses Before the Throne

My girl Joyce Meyer was stepping all on my toes this morning. She was talking about how people need to follow through on what they know they are supposed to do. She said that the saints are "educated beyond our obedience."

I most certainly agree.

All you have to do is look at some of my old posts, and you'll see how deep this woman of God was wading in my business.

I meditated on that this morning, and I was reminded of something. We will all have to give an account before the Lord when we make it to heaven. (Romans 14:12) I definitely don't want to be standing there without being able to say I accomplished or, hey, even tried to accomplish my destiny. I don't want to stand before God with my purpose unfulfilled.

There are no excuses when you're standing before the Creator of the Universe.

So, I'm praying. I'm fighting against these enemies called Procrastination, Fear, and Doubt. I can't do it anymore. I'm getting too old. And I'm starting to sound like a broken record.

God created me for a reason. I can't go back before Him without my reason being fulfilled.

Are you living out your purpose? Are you attempting to accomplish your destiny? We're all in the same boat. Don't let this short life go by without you pressing toward your finish line.

Verse of the Day: And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. Matthew 25:20, 21

No Worries!

Hey, Everyone! How are you doing this lovely Monday morning? It's so good to be back. I'm rested, relaxed, and refreshed! Jamaica was lovely, and I'm already thinking about the next girls' trip!

One thing I love about the people of Jamaica is their philosophy on life. I heard "No worries" and "No problem" all throughout my trip. As a person who is trying to get over all of my unnecessary analysis and thoughts that can go in endless circles, it was pleasant to just turn off that part of my brain and relax.

That was on vacation, though. Not sure how that will translate in my everyday life.

However, as believers, we honestly can stay free of worry and concern. Our Lord and Savior has our lives in the palm of His hand, and will not allow anything to occur that is not a part of His ultimate plan. As long as we are walking in sync with Him, we honestly have no reason to worry or fret.

The Lord has plans to bring us to an expected end. (Jeremiah 29:11) That means, no matter what, He will bring us to a place He has prepared for us to dwell in. Isn't that great? Our awesome God is thinking about how to bring us to His place of destiny, and He is moving things around to get us there!

So, no matter what, take on the "No worries" mentality. It's in God's hands, so you have great things ahead of you!

Verse of the Day: In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. Psalm 56:4

I'm Going On Vacation!

Hello Everyone!

I am about to fly out to the beautiful island of Jamaica! I'm so excited. I'm overdue for a real vacation.

I thought about putting up some posts for you all while I'm gone, but I had so many other things I had to do, I never got to the extra posts. So, I'll be back on Monday!

Have a great rest of the week.

Verse of the Day: Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

Working Expectation

You can't expect a harvest
if you don't plant some seeds!

After the message on Sunday, I've been meditating on expectation. I'm really expecting God to do some things, and I want to make sure that I line up my life correctly to receive from Him.

Expectation is more than just sitting and hoping for something to come along.

When you're expecting a guest, you clean your house and set out the good china. When a woman's expecting a child, she buys items for when the baby arrives. When I'm expecting some extra money, I start plotting on how I'll spend it when it arrives.

Expectation brings action. Faith without works is dead. (James 2:17) You can't tell me you're expecting something from the Lord if you're not putting any action in your life to make room for the blessing.

Currently, I am expecting God to grow my ministry. So, I have to prep myself to be worthy of having a larger place in Him. I have to read more of His Word. I have to spend more time in prayer. I have to make sure I am living my life in a way that is pleasing to Him. How can God place me in a larger place if I'm not capable to handle it?

I'm also expecting God to send me a husband. (Send him, Lord! lol) So, I have to prep myself to be a wife. I have to make sure I'm not wasting my time with foolishness. I have to make sure my life is reflecting the type of character the kind of husband I want is looking for.

What are you expecting God to do for you? Are you acting in expectation? Even if all you can do is confess the word in faith. Confess the Word! Do something to put some action behind your expectation.

Verse of the Day: ...shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. James 2:18

Afternoon Ti: How Do You Stay Hungry?

I should be out there
getting what's mine!

For the class that I'm currently taking, I've had to do some leadership audits on my current ministry. I've found out that I'm very strong in a lot of areas, but I'm clearly weak in the areas of follow-through.

I cannot tell you how many ideas that I've had of different, innovative, and creative methods for various things where ministry is involved. I have even more items filed away for my own personal life. However, the majority of my bright ideas wind up confined to a journal, file on my laptop, or stay stuck in my brain.

I don't know what it is, but I have spurts of inspiration for a moment in time only to let the dreams fall to the wayside. I don't want to be one of those people that looks back and sees a life filled with plans unfulfilled. Still, that looks like how things are shaping up. And I want to put a stop to it.



So, I wanted to ask: How do you stay hungry? How do you stay motivated to follow through on your plans, dreams, and goals? What keeps you from letting procrastination dead your dreams?

I appreciate your advice!

What Are You Expecting?

My blessing's coming!

Yesterday, my Pastor preached a powerful message on expecting miracles. It got me thinking about what I expect every day. It's funny the little things we look forward to (pay days, the weekend, time with friends...) and the things we dread (Mondays, dentist visits, paying bills...).

Our expectation or dread usually has an effect on our mood. Right now I'm excited because I'll be flying to a fabulous vacation in two days!

So, what are you expecting God to do for you? What are you looking forward to seeing Him do in your life? Are you anxiously looking toward the future with hope? Do you have anything on the horizon where your spirit is concerned?

God has so many promises that He wants to fulfill for you. However, we have to grab hold to these promises in faith and believe on Him for the manifestation. We have to sit and talk with Him and remind Him (really ourselves) of our covenant promises as His children.

The fewer the things that you're believing God for, the fewer the blessings that show up. If you're not praying for or expecting God to do anything, you're not really getting the full benefit of being His child. The Word of God is full of benefits and promises that you can have. Grab hold to some today, and start expecting God to show up!

Verse of the Day: Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. 1 Thessalonians 5:24
