We all make mistakes. It is worse when others know you made a mistake, because they will not let you forget it. Think on that mistake you made, and how devastating it was. Now think of the person that forgave you for that mistake and how it made you feel.
God is the ultimate forgiver and example of how to forgive. When He forgives, he never brings it back up or hold it against you. There is somebody you need to forgive today. Let it go today! It is clogging your heart and making you unable to move forward. Call them today!! Forgive them today!! Let it go!! When you release forgiveness, you will feel so much better. Trust me, I have been there. What I realized was the forgiveness helped me to move forward, it was not about them. Are you ready to forgive? Great..call them right now and release the power of forgiveness.

I watched a movie over the weekend. The movie started with a young lady being murdered and her friend was the suspect. Moving forward, the murdered young girl was into drugs, sex, and whatever else. Her friend, the suspect, was not and had previously took the blame for her friend in a drug case. So when her friend was murdered, nobody believed the suspect was telling the truth. The friend was guilty by what the police saw on paper and the comments of the people, who thought they knew the suspect. She was guilty by association...
We as Christians should be guilty by association. We should be known on paper and by the people that know us, that we love the Lord. We should be associating with Jesus on a daily basis. We should be in His Word, praying to Him constantly, and loving on people daily. We should be talking the talk and walking the walk, so if we are ever in a situation that questions our character, our association with Jesus will not be an issue. There will be no doubt, we are His!! We are guilty by association, and we are glad about it!! Do not be ashamed of who you are in Christ. Romans 1: 16, 2 Timothy 1:8, 1 Peter 4:16 I was sitting at my desk this morning and I looked down at my keyboard. Just the right everything is written on the label. I instantly thought of Jesus. He is just the right everything. You do not need anything else when you have Jesus. He is just the right everything.
You need a doctor, call Jesus!! You need a friend, call Jesus!! You need a job, call Jesus!! You need a love, call Jesus!! You need peace, call Jesus!! You need faith, call Jesus!! You need direction, call Jesus!! Whatever you need, call Jesus!! Jesus is just the right everything!! Happy Monday!! As I was driving through a storm yesterday, God showed me something. There were cars in front of me, both sides of me, and behind me. We were all going through the storm. The storm made some of us slow down, some of us drove faster, and I saw one car just stop. I do not know about the other drivers, but at one point I could not see, but I kept going.
As I continued on, the storm stopped and it was clear ahead. I looked back and it was still dark. The other cars made it through as well. We all made is through, at different times and at different speeds, but we made it. If you are in a storm, praise Him and keep moving forward. If you just got out a storm, praise Him and pray for those still in the storm. If you headed to a storm, praise Him, pray, and keep moving forward. Before you were formed in your mother's belly, He knew you. He has a plan for you.
The enemy also know the power within you, when you recognize who you are in God. So what happens, the enemy will send delays and distractions to keep you from making the right decision. Delays keep you from operating in your divine purpose. Distractions guide you off the path of purpose. What I like about the delay and distraction is God knows what the enemy is sending and He allows it, which means you will overcome them both!!! The enemy has no control!! I laugh at that!! But time is of the essence right now, and you need to make a decision. You can not serve two masters, you will love one and hate the other. If you do not know God, I ask that you repeat this sentence " Lord I confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in my heart, God raised Him from the dead", that is it. After you make that confession you are saved. Now ask God to lead you to a church where you can learn more about Him and from Him. Read Romans 10:9 I saw what appeared to be an angel praying in the sky, so I snapped a picture. This morning while looking at the picture, I thought about all the angels surrounding us. Our angels are family, friends, strangers we have met, that are praying for us even now.
Do you recognize your angels? Do you know there are people praying for you right now? Your ancestors prayed for you, before you existed. Reminds me of the song that states somebody prayed for me, had me on their mind, took the time and prayed for me!! Hebrews 13: 2 Don't forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it! (NLT) I was reading this morning about the experience Saul had on the Damascus road. I thought about everything he did up to that point and smiled. Why did I smile? Because it reminded me of myself.
God is awesome!! He called a man that was so anti- Jesus to preach Jesus! After his encounter with Jesus, he was never the same. If God can call the very man that persecuted people for believing, he can certainly call you and me. If you are thinking you can not witness to a person, you are not worthy enough to be used by God, or you can not imagine how you can do what He has called you to do, let me remind you of Rahab, David, and Moses. There are more but because I try to make my post brief, I will leave you with just those three. God is sovereign. He can and He will use whomever he chooses for His plan. You are worthy! You can do it (with His help)! He called and He qualified!! You have power today! If you feel like your power is gone, take it back!! Right now!! Do not take another step without claiming your power. Luke 10: 19 reminds us He gave us power to tread on the serpents and scorpions, and all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt us. Take your power with you!
Use your Sword of the Spirit!! You are equipped with power!! The enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy, but I promise you this day, he has no power over you, your family, your friends, your job, your joy, or anything you can imagine. You have power, wonder working power!!! There is power, wonder working power in the precious blood of the Lamb!!! Slow down, matter of fact, just stop. You are doing too much. You are trying to do everything by your own strength. Guess what?? You can not do anything without Him. So sit down.
Be still and hear what He is telling you. Give it to Him. He gave you a glimpse of the vision and now, you are trying to accomplish it all in a week. Life does not happen like that. God is trying to complete the work He gave you and you are trying to change it to fit what you think. STOP IT!!! SIT DOWN!! BE STILL!! Psalms 46:10 Good morning. I want you try something today. Meditate on scripture. Find a verse for today and repeat that verse over and over again. I do not know what you need but God does. Ask Him for your scripture, He will lead you to the right one.
I have, what I call, a random thinking mind. My thoughts are just all over the place. When I find my thoughts to be negative, or just not in the right place, I stop and I begin to say scripture or thank God for a sound mind. One of the passages of scripture that I use is Psalms 23. Again I do not know what your power scripture is for today, but I know you need one. The enemy is very busy, and the best way to deal with him, is with the Word of God, which is your Sword of the Spirit. So today I task you with meditating on the Word. ALL DAY... |
