Keep Going Your Almost There

Deuteronomy 12:10 (CEB)10 But you are about to cross the Jordan River and will settle in the land the Lord your God is giving you as your inheritance. Then he will give you rest from all your enemies on every side so that you live safely and securely.

There is  comfort in knowing that  your  steps are ordered by God himself. Wherever you find your in the point in time whether it's positive or  not so great  God  is  able to meet you at that point and sustain  you. With this in mind  how  would approach life  differently?  Knowing that  God is  lining things up on your behalf and breathing life into your dreams?  It should light a  fire within your faith. 

No matter where you find yourself right now  know that God is  present , he is piecing together  your next steps. So ask yourself will you   take that leap of faith to trust him even when you don't know what the outcome will be or when the next step will present itself? Will you allow  God to steer your life or  will continue to lean on your own understanding?


Let's be honest  our  complacency  is a  form of pride that  often times  prolongs  a journey that  God never intended  to take  so long.  A complacent  mindset  will choke  your progress; God has  so much in store for us but  we get in the way by talking ourselves out of trusting   him.  Remember  God wouldn't bring you to a point where He hasn't  taken in consideration all the things  you need to succeed. 


God has a plan for you, there's a  assignment on your life that He wants you  walk confidently  into.  Trust  God with your  future, with your  life presently and  keep moving forward within His  will you're almost there  don't  give up now!


Love,

Are you All In?



Luke 8:14-15(NIV) 14 The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. 15 But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.


With anything that you desire to  grow  stronger  and  more  knowledgeable  in  you must  practice  consistency. Often times we  will pick and   choose from the  bible what makes us comfortable and fits our lifestyle.   The  word of God is not a  to go menu for you  choose a combo meal and a  drink then  be on your merry way. 

 The truth  is  following  God  isn't  always  easy and you won't be  comfortable with everything that God expects from us; But there is  great reward in being  all in  and  following the leading  of  holy spirit.   You'll find  that    the outcome of  trusting  God  far  out weighs  the  pain of  being moved out of your comfort zone. 

Trust me I know how easy it is  to  get  caught up with what's  popular  opinion.  Social  media and  the entertainment industry  for example    definitely  have  given  some folks  a  platform to project their  philosophies and so many of us  are  drinking up their  watered  down  gospel.  Let's  be clear anything  that includes sin does not rep Christ so  be careful  of  what you digest.

 What feels  good to  you  isn't always good for  you, this  is   why  it  is  so important to your  faith is  firmly    rooted in what  the word  says so you won't be another  sheep being lead  by a pack of  wolves.  Understand that you where meant to  stand  out  Matthew 5:14  says this:

14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.


Don't allow your light  to be dimmed  to  adapt to the worlds  view; You were created to be so much more! Remember life is too short to live like everyone  projecting  anything less than the   authentic  you.   If you lose  friends or  a significant other  count it as  a blessing  because they would've  been a distraction anyway,  Move  forward life to your full potential  on purpose! 

Are you all in?

If  you haven't received  Jesus as your personal savior I  would like  to invite you to make the BEST  decision  of your life.    Pray this simple prayer..

Lord I want to be  all in    I accept you as  my  personal savior, I believe that you died on the cross and rose again.  Write my name in the book of life and teach me how to fully live for  you.  In Jesus's name -Amen

Welcome to the family!

Love,
