Did you know that lack of forgiveness on our part to anyone, especially to ourselves keeps God’s power from operating in our lives? Remember that your past is your experience and we are to turn it around and use it in a positive fashion. Learn from your past to teach others for their future. You experienced what you experienced for a reason, so do not regret it. No matter what you went through remember that you went through for a reason, no matter how ugly, or painful it may have been, God… Continue

Perseverance

God did not bring you out for you to remain still. We should not let anything take our eyes off our goal, knowing Christ. Brethren, I count not my self to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:13-14). We must shake off the discouragements and disappointments of yesterday and…

Prayer

There is power in prayer! Prayer is having a conversation with God. When we do with sincerity he hears and will answer according to his will and not ours. The length, volume or eloquence of our prayer is not the issue. God wants to hear from us and he wants us to talk to him and not at him. He wants to hear from us often! Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Prayer releases God’s power. Be careful for nothing: but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving…

Criticism

Words can hurt. The qualities we condemn in others are often our own character flaws or defects. We tend to be quick to point the finger at someone else but we forget that when we do we have three more pointing at us. We should not try to change others, instead ask God to help us understand their feelings and to help us see our own flaws more clearly. People often criticize to take the focus off of the real issue. Sometimes when we have an issue with someone else we soon realize… Continue

What you say and do not say make a difference. Learn to tame your tongue.

Complaining is contagious and is hard to cure. Your mouth is a very powerful tool and also a weapon. Many find it easy to join in with others who are complaining, we must resist feeding into negativity it is an awful habit that should be replaced with gratitude. For instance when you get stuck in traffic instead of getting frustrated and start complaining enjoy this quiet time alone to talk to God. You could always… Continue

Trusting

Blessed is the man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn to lies (Psalm 4o:4). God will lead you to know what to do, and he will energize you to do what needs to be done. We cannot avoid strife in the world around us but when we fix our thoughts on God we can know perfect peace even in turmoil. Behold God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid, for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song, he also is become my salvation… Continue

Don’t get caught up!

Do you harbor resentments, are you still holding on to anger or pain from your past? If you are one of the many that are, I beg of you for your sake to let it go. Free yourself! First of all you must forgive yourself for holding on so long, for allowing something or someone to live rent free in your mind, for blocking you from the sunlight of the spirit. By doing so, you have stunted your own growth. You have allowed yourself to be stuck in the pain, anger or… Continue

Be still-God is faithful

No chain is stronger than its weakest link, walk by faith always! Be still! Doing nothing is sometimes the best thing we can do. You may find yourself involved in something and discover that God is not in it. Don’t be afraid to stop and step back. Situations and circumstances will arise. But, before taking action on any matter, stop, be still and ask yourself, can I really make a positive difference or is this Gods job. What would Jesus do? The thought of the… Continue
