How are you feeling today about your relationship with Jesus?
Are you on fire?? Are you freezing? Do you feel like you somewhere in the middle? Only you know where you stand. I pray you are standing on the "hot" side. If you feel cold, why? Examine your habits.... How much time to you dedicate to reading and studying the bible? How often do you pray? My grandmother would say "A watched pot never boils". (end quote) If you never put the pot on the stove it will never experience the flame. What do I mean by that? Basically, you have to do something to get the fire. The pot had to be put on the stove, and the stove turned on, in order for the contents to boil. You have to be dedicated to your relationship with Jesus. Your dedication requires work. Are you hot or cold?

I speak healing today.
I speak healing for you today: Your marriage.....healed Your health.... healed Your finances.... healed Your children... healed Your heart... healed Your family... healed Your concerns... healed Your mind.... healed Walk in your healing, you are not defeated. It is not time to quit. Healing is yours!!!! Don't get concerned about the numbers....
You wrote a book and you haven't made best seller. You had a conference and the response was minimal. You started a ministry and you only have 5 members. You started a blog and only your mom is reading it daily. You posted a FB post and 1 person " liked it". Read the statements above, did you notice "you". You, you, you..... It is not about you...... Let's consider why we started these things. Was it for God to get the glory? Are we trying to be known as famous? Are we trying to become rich and retire early? Did we seek God first? After you have really looked at your motives, I pray, you know without a doubt, it was for God to get the glory. If we plant a seed for one person and God get the glory, then we have done what we were supposed to do. I want you to know that when God gave you the book, conference, ministry, blog, and/or FB post, He also knew who needed it most and that person recieved it. Stay true to what God told you to do and leave the numbers up to Him. It is not about you becoming rich and famous, it is about God being lifted up, so that He will draw all men unto Him, and He will get all the glory. Rewrite your sentences.... He (God) wrote a book.... He had a conference... He started a ministry.. He started a blog... He posted on FB..... and He used "you" as a vessel. Don't worry about the numbers.... Colossians 3:17, Colossians 3:23 Rely on God.
In all your ways, acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths. Lean not to your own understanding. Rely means to depend on with full trust. Rely on God for everything. As you experience this day, I want you to take notice on how many times you rely on God and how many times you rely on self. Review at the end of the day and see if relying on God made a difference. Everything you do today, consult Him first. Yes, EVERYTHING. He's waiting.... Proverbs 3: 5-6 The post on yesterday focused on T.R.U.T.H.
Today I want to break down the "T" How will we trust God today and continue trusting Him? Here is an abbreviated definition of trust: firm belief in the realiability, truth, ability, or strength Grab your bible and look up the following scripture: Psalms 31:14 As you read the scripture, remember the definition of trust. Do you firmly believe that God is reliable? Do you believe He is the truth? Do you believe in his ability and strength? As we go about today and encounter what comes our way, let us trust. Let us trust, that our God can and will take care of us. It may look like the enemy is winning, but trust God that the enemy is defeated. TRUST If you have time, read the entire psalm 31 and reflect on trusting God today. A great friend of mine gave me a daily devotional. The devotional is about truth. God is so amazing and He will always give you what you need. As I embark on this journey of my truth, I wanted to share with you how I plan to walk on my path to truth:
T- Trust Him through the process. R- Rely on Him for everything U- Understand it is not about me T- Talk with HIm through the process H- Help others along the way. As you start this 2nd day of the new year, what have you planned to do with the time God has given you? Do you know your truth? Are you walking in your purpose? Only you and God know the answers to those questions, have a little talk with Him. Many blessings!!!! First day of 2017!! Praise God!!
I pray this year will be a year of many blessings for you. I pray there will be no lack. I pray you will see God in everything. I pray you find your truth.... Happy New Year @onewordforlife http://bit.ly/toniemapson |
