Longevity to health begins with obedience to the Lord to take care of the temple in which the Holy Spirit lives in. The temple is YOUR body. The spirit of the living God lives INSIDE of YOU! That is an honor. It matters what you’re watching, eating, drinking, and listening to. All of these things feed something. That which you feed into your body (His temple) will grow. What are you growing? Do an honest evaluation of how much of what is going into your body. Take a few minutes or more and write them all down. To help you, here are things to think about: > What are you watching, listening to, and reading…
Growing in Character: Aligning with God’s Will for Maturity
Maturing in love & humility while honoring others before yourself must become a part of you. Maturity in your character aligning with Gods is a true must. There’s no shortcuts for a reason. Be thankful, not frustrated, that He doesn’t give you things or advance you forward if you’re not ready for it. Perhaps, He is waiting for you. If the place you’re in or have been in has felt too comfortable, then ask God to show you the choices you’ve made in your flesh over what God said to do. You chose your own comfort over what God said and wonder why you’re still stuck where you are. At the same time it is…
Guard Your Pearls
Just because God gave you a revelation, doesn’t mean you can go telling everyone. You walk in a secret garden with Christ in a relationship. It is because of a deepened relationship God trusts you with more of His secrets. Ask God what you are suppose to do with what He told you about. Ask God why He spoke it to you or showed you. It may be for a prayer burden or even to be saved for later. This is an area that the Lord has been testing many in these recent seasons. He wants to see if He can trust you with deeper things in His relationship with…
Guard Yourself By Staying In The Secret Place
Did you realize that the tactics of Satan have not changed since the garden with Adam and Eve? The whispers you hear from the enemy are not much of an issue compared to you agreeing with those whispers. Satan can whisper all He wants. It’s a problem when you take the bait that Satan laid out for you. You taking the bait is coming into agreement and alignment with what the enemy says. This is how a hole in your armor is made. Be careful of what you come into agreement and alignment with. This is exactly what happened back in the garden with Eve and then Adam. The enemy’s…
He Has Heard Your Pure Cries of Anguish
To those who have been patiently waiting for the birthing of their calling & the fulfillment of their promises: God has heard your pure cries in anguish like Hannah. He has seen you and your pure intentions and desires. God is working out things behind the scenes. Trust in His perfect timing. Walk day by day moment by moment remembering who you are and to whom you belong to. You serve a God who is not a man that He should lie. Every word He sends forth never returns to Him void. He never left you nor forsook you. You keep doing what He says to you, whether you understand it or not, and He will…
Pioneers, Forerunners, & Ice-Breakers in the Fire of Refinement
Many of you are suddenly going through another level of shaking in your life. This is a storm sent by God to refine you as God prepares you for advancing forward to all that you are called to be. Give yourself grace in this process. Ask God to give you his perspective on any situations and circumstances because not everything that looks negative is the devil. We tend to resort to rebuking the devil for everything. Slow down for a moment to identify it first. One of the things He is working on is your character maturity in this fire of refinement. Ask God for eyes to see. It is important that you see through His perspective…
Moses & Saul: Obedience and Consequences
Consequences to your choices are real. Let’s take a look at a some scriptures that God highlighted to me this morning to share with you. “10 There has never been another prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face. 11 The Lord sent him to perform all the miraculous signs and wonders in the land of Egypt against Pharaoh, and all his servants, and his entire land. 12 With mighty power, Moses performed terrifying acts in the sight of all Israel.” – Deuteronomy 34:10-12 48 That same day the Lord said to Moses, 49 “Go to Moab, to the mountains east of the river,[a] and climb Mount Nebo, which is across from Jericho. Look out…
Let It Go & Leap!
The time has come for some of you to step by faith into all God has called you to; into all you have been waiting for. It is important on this day of Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement, that you intentionally take time out and allow God to speak to about anything at all that is out of alignment with His will for you. As, I sit here and process with God, the thing that comes to mind is those times that one may build things on and of their own during the waiting period (which wasn’t easy). Many times while in the waiting, knowing what God said, we start acting…
Stay Focused
Children of God, do not allow what is happening in the natural to hinder your focus from where God wants it. He continue‘s to shake the Earth and it should not come as a surprise to you. He is shaking everything at a different level right now and what is unshakable is what is to remain; which are the things of the Kingdom of Heaven. Even though what we are seeing happen in the natural can make us emotional, do not have emotional attachments with it. Yes, one tends to get sad over things, but do not let it rule over your focus. You are to keep your eyes locked…
Love, Forgiveness, & Healing
Love really is the way. Though, it can be challenging to learn in day to day life. You are not perfect and no one else is either. The important thing is to truly do your best to apply love daily as situations, circumstances, and conversations arise. Be completely honest with yourself and ask yourself two questions: 1. “Am I truly doing my best?” and 2. “Am I being the person I want to be daily?” Now, don’t go and take out your frustrations physically and/or verbally on people you love. Instead take it all to God and deal with it there. If you need to process through something, then go…
