Stick To Your Faith!


In life you will be placed in unwanted situations. Situations that you didn't ask to be in. You will wonder:
  • 'Why me'?
  • 'When will it be MY turn'?
  • 'Will I be loved'?
  • 'Will I get that...(job, pay increase or opportunity)'?
In all of this we find ourselves wanting more. Grasping for more. But what are we doing in return?
You see... God wants more for us as well. Remember that He is a jealous God. ONE who seeks all the praise and glorifying. Yet we want more. But why? Why do we want more?:
  • Is it because we deserve it? =====> Maybe.
  • Is it because we prayed for it? =====> Possibly.
  • Or is it because we worked for it? =====> Could be!
If this is what you think... that's wrong. We should never do anything with the want or desire for a blessing to follow. We should constantly do His work and have FAITH that He's got our back. Do everything in His name without a tangible want attached.

You have to have FAITH that in your doing His work... He will guide you in the right direction. Even if it doesn't make complete sense to you. Even if you don't understand it even a little bit. You have to trust (thus have FAITH) that He will take care of the rest. He said it in His word... "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:16). That means believing without fully understanding sometimes.

Another thing we do that prolongs our 'victories' is not letting God do God. He got this! He got you! He doesn't need you to help Him be God. He needs you to have everlasting FAITH that you will be okay! AS LONG AS you do His work. Walk in his path. And help everyone along the way.

So if you don't retain anything out of this message... Just have genuine FAITH & TRUST IN HIM. With that comes all of your heart needs, wants & desires.

The Necessary Storm

Have you ever found yourself up late at night, tossing and turning, trying to figure a certain matter out? Like, you totally knew that you had to hand it over to the Lord, and that's what you very well thought you did... However, when you turned your situation over to the Lord, all hell broke loose. Many tears formed, a plethora of negative thoughts & doubts submerged your mind & spirit. You just couldn't shake it ( it being what you thought was the enemy all along )! If you've not been there, maybe you know someone who's confided in you about their situation with this. Well ladies & gentlemen, I've been there too many times. I was always quick to say, "I rebuke that", "devil, get under my feet", or whatever other old-school baptist sayings I knew. Until I learned that sometimes the chaos you're going through isn't the enemy, but is the Lord prepping you for your next season. It can totally be uncomfortable! And why shouldn...

Hold On... Tight!

Often times we're put in situations where we wonder, 'what in the world'! Like seriously, we feel like at one time things were moving swiftly, we were on it & things seemed to be headed in a right direction. Reminding me of a moving walkway in an airport... Helping you to get to your next gate in record time. Then, it's time to get off of that moving walkway, and you feel that gilt... Making what now seemed like gazelle-like speed, become a sudden stop, & back to normal pace. Have you been there, or know someone who's mentioned to you that their in this situation now? Well lately, I've been there... And I've had a few questions. They are as follows: - Why have desires in my heart for something, when I then have to say, 'let Your will be done'? ( don't get me wrong, His will is better, but in that moment, the disappointment doesn't feel so good if you don't get it ). - Why do have to chance wanting something, just to possibly r...

Mount Up!

Image
Do you ever find yourself wondering, if it's not one thing, then it's another? Do you notice yourself having to rebuke the enemy left & right, then right & left? Are you drawing weary in faith & wondering why you're always dealing with a certain situation, and/or why it's taking God so long to show up & show out? Or, let me guess, the tricks of the enemy continue to gut punch you at the most inopportune times!? Well, since all we can do is trust in & lean on God in our individual matters, all I can tell you to do is ---> Mount Up! God NEVER said following Him would be easy. To the contrary, the word shows several instances where Jesus probably wondered the same above questions! When you find yourself answering yes to any of the above, God knew you'd deal with things, & the encouragement He provides is in Isaiah 40:31 - 'They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They s...
