God has more Grace than we have sin. There is just no way that we can out sin His Grace. Glory to God!!!
You've gotten to a place of "Can't Live Like THIS Anymore". Know that God loves you way beyond the sin that is consuming you.
Receive God's Grace and walk into YOUR season of Blessing! #makeithappen
People of God, calm down! God's got you and if God's got you you're going to make it!
And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved.’ (Acts 2:21 NKJV)
God will #Makeithappen
"Help, Lord , because the Godly are all gone; the faithful have completely disappeared from the human race! Everyone tells lies to everyone else; they talk with slick speech and divided hearts. Let the Lord cut off all slick-talking lips and every tongue that brags and brags, that says, "We’re unbeatable with our tongues! Who could get the best of us with lips like ours?" But the Lord says, "Because the poor are oppressed, because of the groans of the needy, I'M NOW STANDING UP. I will provide the help they are gasping for." The Lord ’s promises are pure, like silver that’s been refined in an oven, purified seven times over! You, Lord , will keep us, protecting us from this generation forever. The wicked roam all over the place, while depravity is praised by human beings." (Psalm 12:1-8)
Seek a PURPOSE instead of and before seeking a platform!
But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ. But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me. (Galatians 1:11-12, 15-17 NKJV)
"Remember these things, O Jacob, And Israel, for you are My servant;
I have formed you, you are My servant, O Israel, you will not be forgotten by Me. (Isaiah 44:21 NASB)
Our God cannot forget His servants, those whom He has called. Although we act up and act out of who and what He has made us (this is when He calls us Jacob, which means deciever) He still loves us!
He chose us not for a time but FOREVER! He blots out our sin and calls us Israel...His elect, His chosen! He says that we will NEVER be forgotten...people forget, people turn against you, people abandon you, BUT GOD will not forget you! Know this, YOU have been loved too long and have been bought at too great a price to be forgotten!
Thank you Lord for your love and thank you for continuing to love us when we are being Jacob...your strong and sustaining love reminds us that we are to be Israel, God's chosen!

You've Allowed it to Grow, Now: STOP IT - DROP IT & KILL IT!
For many of us, our current problems was something that we should have taken care of prior to today; prior to it becoming as big as it is now; and prior to our losing control or it becoming out of control. Oftentimes our problems come camouflaged as a relationship/friend we couldn’t live without or something that we thought was cool every now and again, but now has become a bad habit. However, one day not of our choosing, the gloves came off and the problem grew up and grew out of control and stepped on our throat, suffocating us with all its weight.
This is typically how things happen. We don't deal with things right away, we allow them to grow bigger and bigger and bigger and then we are surprised when it grows out of control. We allow sickness to linger for way too long before seeking help. We allow our children to talk and act however they want before trying to bring it under control and then it's too late. We "dip & dab" with substance abuse and before we know it, we're hooked! And we avoid the church, the teaching and coming into the knowledge of Jesus Christ and before we know it, we're lost...some for all eternity!!!
STOP IT - DROP IT & KILL IT before it grows any bigger than what it is.
"It" is a spirit of abuse. "It" is a spirit whose assignment is to destroy relationships and families. "It" is a spirit of extremities tempting us to go beyond the point of return.
Get on your knees and STOP IT - DROP IT & KILL IT!!! In Jesus' name. Amen.
You have two choices: "Give In or Go On"
When you are an Encourager, you realize that there are times when we succeed and there will be times when we fail. failure is part of life—and when we fail we have but two choices: we can Give In or Go On.
Some people bounce back rather quickly from failure and are able to keep it moving; whereas, there are those among us that require a little more motivation. One of the ways to motivate others is to tell them about your past troubles and traumas. Sometimes people think that if you’re currently successful, you have always been that way. They don’t realize that you have had your share of flops, failures, and fumbles. Show them that success is a journey, a process, NOT a destination. When they realize that you have failed and yet still managed to succeed, they’ll realize that it’s okay to fail. And their confidence will remain intact.
Be transparent and let people know that you post only the good stuff on social media, but if they knew what you truly had to go through to post those vacation photos, those first day of school pics, college dorm rooms and apartment setups, etc., they would know that we didn't go out to shake the "Money Tree". They'd know that it was by way of a lot of sacrifices that these things were made possible. They'd know that a lot of planning and savings had to occur to post those wonderful pictures and to create memories worth sharing!
Yes, there is so much more behind what you see on social media, but I just want to encourage someone this morning by saying, that if you don't Give In but Go On, you will overcome the failures that come our way...it's just a part of our journey. Going on is what makes us different; Giving In only stops us from overcoming.
What's your choice today: Give In or to GO ON?
