The Thoughts of a Coffee Drinking Vessel

Recalling the story of David and Goliath, Saul at first would not let David fight the giant. Once David shared convinced him by telling him of his previous victories, he (David) was allowed to confront Goliath. There was a couple of problems. The first one was that Saul wanted David to wear his armor. It didn't fit. Saul had completely looked over David's testimony. David declared that the Lord who had delivered him from the lion and the bear would deliver him from the giant Goliath. Being respectful to the person who was over him David put on the armor. After moving around in it, he told Saul I can't go in this; It doesn't fit me. We all have Saul's in our lives. That goes without saying. They will doubt you before you go into battle. They have never seen the things you had to kill in order to survive. They will eventually allow you to go into battle, but will try to get you to wear their armor. They still doubt what God has done and don't believe you are rea...

It is important that you connect with people (women in particular) that are ready to give birth to something great just like you. Everyone has a purpose but if not careful you can kill the gift being birthed. When you are around people who are not going anywhere you can truly lose focus of what you are supposed to be doing in Christ. When you are surrounded with people who have the same spirit you have what we call a "Divine Connection". Ever notice how a pregnant woman glows. The same thing happens in the spirit. Pregnant women take care of the child(gift) before they have to push them out. Again, the same thing happens in the spirit. Take care of what was planted into you before you push it out. In Luke 1:41 the baby leapt with joy when he heard Mary's voice. Elizabeth did not see Mary when she first called out. Do you have someone in your life like that? Does your spirit leap when you hear their voice before you see them? If so you have a divine connection in your life...

There comes a point in time in your life where you have to add the word "No" to your vocabulary and actually mean it. Contrary to popular opinion, the word "No" is not a curse word. It is actually a blessing to your life. Think about all the times you said yes to someone or something that should have been a no. How did you feel? Used, bad, frustrated, irritated, mad, confused, conflicted, bamboozled, hoodwinked, led astray, etc. LOL yes I know that was a bit much but I need for you all to get the point. Putting yourself through an unnecessary battle will cause you to end up distracted and losing the war. You want to really how the "No" is for real? If it doesn't bless your life you don't entertain it. If it doesn't benefit the kingdom, I'm not with it. Check the tone of the voice, the look in the eyes, and especially facial expressions. You can nonverbally say no too. More importantly, God's "No" is for real. He knows what...
