Dangerously Distracted?

Based off of Galatians 5:7-10

We are often on fire for the Lord and we desire to do His will, we have a new praise in our spirit and yeah we know how we do. All of a sudden we stop short. Is it because of family, friends, situations, and circumstances? Am I my own stumbling block? These are things we have to look at when we find ourselves to be what I like to call dangerously distracted.

Look at what you used to do and what you are doing now. Can you see the difference in your actions, demeanor, and behavior? When you are truly focused stuff may come and you still have joy. Then we actually look at the situation. Big mistake. Yes it is a reality for you and I'm not knocking that. Trust me I've been there so I understand. What I am still learning is that you have to remember what the Word says. Stop letting everyone in your ear. Especially before and after you know God just opened your heart and poured into you. Some seeds that are planted are not to benefit you but to distract you. If it doesn't line up dismiss it quickly. If you try to do things your way learn to stop yourself and do it the way the Lord told you to. For that please reference Proverbs 16:3.

It is my prayer that we all rest well and pay attention. Lives are at stake. Play time is over.

You are loved. Now wash the cobwebs you've walked into off your face and move forward in Jesus.

No Strength 2 Color

They say broken crayons still color but what do you do when you don't have the strength to paint a better picture. What is all of your energy is gone? What do you do then? You look for a solution because what is familiar is no longer working. People seem to think that you have it all together and in reality God has fixed it where you have to completely trust Him and it seems that everything is falling apart. I am here to encourage us today. We aren't going always going to be in this position. I believe that God has to do something because we have done all we can do and nothing is happening.  The harder the press the greater the oil. We have to be crushed so we can be used by God not people. (Catch it) In this season, don't let any person take advantage of you. It's okay to say no. Do not let them guilt trip you. Gather the strength to color even if you don't see the frame yet. It's not a puzzle but the pieces are slowly coming together. I have n...

When You Don't Understand

2018 was full of loss. Some of us lost loved ones, we lost our hope, our drive, our passion. It seemed like every single time we took steps to make progress life came and knocked the hell out of us. And it made me angry. I didn't understand why it seems like things kept going left when we were doing right. Why did people go ghost in the midst of a heartbreaking year? I let my anger affect the things that I was doing and I honestly didn't care anymore. Why should I extend myself when no one else was willing to do the same. I still served, I was there for others, I went to work, and I was angry. Truth be told I am still processing my anger. It didn't seem fair. It still doesn't seem fair. I don't need to be told anything deep or profound. I just need an understanding. I know that there are five stages of grief. I know that I can talk to God about anything. Have you ever done that and not received a response? Have you ever read the word for comfort and when you...

Are you bearing fruit?

"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit-fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in My name." -John 15:16(NIV) Chosen to bear fruit. A reason your prayers may not be answered is because you are not bearing fruit. Are you sharing Jesus with others besides the ones who are in your circle? When was the last time you told a complete stranger something that could change their life? Like Jesus loves them, have a blessed day or week, etc. Do they see your light or do they see your dilemmas?  Things to consider. Stop avoiding strangers and start bearing fruit.
