SPEAK with Specificity and SPEAK Intentionally!

Pray the way Jesus teaches us to pray. When we do we will find that those mountains in our life, those things that are in our way will move!

Pray in faith and believe in God and as the Bible says SPEAK, "Be removed and be cast into the sea."

So, today I encourage you and I to speak to our mountains. Our mountain is waiting for you and I to speak to it; our mountain is waiting for instructions from us!

You want obstacles removed? Speak to them! Your mountains have been waiting to hear from you.

For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. (Mark 11:23 NKJV)

God Needs for You to be Different

Some people will never understand your level of Calling and Giftedness. There will always be those who doubt you and the hard truth is that those that are closest to you are your BIGGEST NAYSAYERS (trust me I know). However today, hold on to hope in the face of your naysayers.

Every day we wrestle with negative people and even our own negative thoughts. Today begin the process of learning how to operate in your Calling and Giftedness between the space of pessimism and possibility. Today be the voice that cuts against the grain no matter what others may think of you; no matter their attempts to belittle you; and no matter if they recognize the move of God in your life or if they choose to ignore it. Your naysayers can never trump what God is doing in your life...God shall get the glory out of your life!

The world needs you to be different.

Amen.

Thanksgiving Week

Tuesday

Thanksgiving Day is a time to be with family and to enjoy their presence over a meal. Most do the traditional Turkey with all of the fixings and some prepare a dish of their choosing. Whatever we choose to serve on Thursday, the occasion is the same; it's Thanksgiving and it is our goal to share in love, laughter and life in general.

Christian Thanksgiving is the intentional recalling of ALL that God has done, is doing and will do in our lives and it is our beginning of worship!

May you be blessed in both the day with family and during each moment when you think of the goodness of God in your life.

Whatever you may have planned for this week with your family, make sure that when you celebrate, that you carve out time for for both the traditional observation and the spiritual necessity of being Thankful.

Blessings for your day.

Thanksgiving Week: Thankful for Eyes to See Jesus in His Church!

There's a big difference between going to church and being the church. You see, one day Jesus will crack the sky and call up the church to be with Him, while some will still be going to church, totally missing that Christ came back because they weren't looking for Him but instead they were more concerned with their appearance in church; their position in church; and their status in church. These are those church goers that did everything to be seen, yet they themselves didn't see Jesus who is the head of the church.

You can have "A Life" and not "That Life"!

Folks we can get up and get out everyday with very little purpose besides "How can I slip under the radar yet again?" Some of us are not LIVING our lives, but we are merely existing. Some have no ambition, desire or purpose outside of chillin', a word that has been another word for laziness.

If this is you, I'm here to tell you that when you give your life to God that you are no longer merely existing, but you begin LIVING an abundant life full of grace and mercy, acceptance and love, purposely and powerfully, joyfully  and peaceably  and respectful and admired.

Now, I don't know about you and where you are right now, but I must tell you that you can have "A Life" or you can have "That Life":

• Yeah, "That Life", the one that was meant for you to live BEFORE the devil stole your identity, destroyed your family and killed your ambition to be counted as worthy of being more!

• Yeah, "That Life", the one that you thought that you lost when you made some wrong choices and people walked away from you

• Yeah, "That Life", the one you lay awake during the night reminiscing about, but not hopeful that it shall ever be that way again

• Yeah, "That Life", the one your parents prayed over you when you was born...a life full of accomplishments, respect, happiness and impact.

Somewhere and somehow, we stopped living, but Jesus has come to not only restore life, but to give you abundant life.

TODAY is a great day to be about "That Life" and not just living "a life". Ask Jesus to come into your life and let Him bless you. That's what He has for you - blessings so that you can have "That Life" and greatly change "This Life"!

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. (John 10:10 NKJV)

Wednesday's Word

"I summon you by name and bestow on you a title of honor, though you do not acknowledge me.  I am the Lord , and there is no other; apart from Me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged Me, so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting people may know there is none besides Me. I am the Lord , and there is no other."  (Isaiah 45:4‭-‬6 NIV)

Grace

But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. (Eph 4:7 NKJV)

Thank You Jesus for Your grace given to me! 😀👍👊
