Feel Like An Outcast?

Jun28

Have you ever felt different from everyone else? Feeling like an outcast or you simply didn’t feel like you fit in with the crowd? Well, I sure have. There have been many times that I didn’t fit in or I felt rejected in some way. It tends to make you wonder, “What’s wrong with me?” Why do I feel like I stick out like a sore thumb?

Oh Yes You Are

Guess what? We are blessed and meant to be different:

“If you belonged to the world, the world would treat you with affection and would love you as its own. But because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, the world hates you.” (John 16:19)

The good news in Galatians 1:15 says: “But when He, Who had chosen and set me apart before I was born and had called me by His grace (His undeserved favor and blessing), saw fit and was pleased.”

We were created and chosen by God, Himself. So, STOP TRYING TO FIT IN. You don’t have to feel different or rejected just because the world may see you this way. You can simply be grateful that you are unique and special because you belong to the Creator of the Universe.

You don’t need to go searching for peace, love or happiness. You don’t need to feel lost, hurt, depressed, sad or alone. God’s presence surrounds you at all times! You are valued and loved right now, this very minute! You don’t have to change because you are more than enough just the way you are. YOU ARE A CHILD OF THE MOST HIGH GOD, HE LOVES YOU RIGHT NOW AND IS PLEASED WITH YOU!

SHOUT…I AM SPECIAL, UNIQUE, TALENTED, LOVED AND ACCEPTED!

Oh Yes You Are 2

Why don’t you take a moment to thank Him.

Say:  Lord, Thank you for accepting me into your family, just as I am. I’m grateful that you love me and that your amazing presence surrounds me. Thank you for making me special and unique with a very bright future. Thank you for your love, guidance, provisions, guidance, and protection. You are the reason that I can accept and love who I am right now. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!

Second Chances

Mar30

MiraclesHave you ever wanted a second chance to do things over, right a wrong or make a different decision that would have altered your life in a completely different direction? Does it seem like the obstacles in your life are so big that things will never change unless God intervenes? Are you hoping and praying that your life has a new beginning that turns your frown upside down?

God has given each one of us many hopes and dreams within our hearts. He wants to make every single one of them come true. Up till now, all of your life experiences (good and bad) have been preparing you for your future. Today, right now can be your new beginning.

No matter what you are facing, God truly has a plan to work it out for your good and His glory!

Isaiah 43:19 (KJV): “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”

Whether you fight depression, sickness, poverty, abandonment, anger, frustration or any other ailment that is plaguing you…God can and will turn it around. He hasn’t forgotten what your dreams are. He wasn’t taken by surprise when these things came against you. He has seen all the turmoil since the very beginning and knows how to spring forth your turnaround. No matter how your life seems or just how much wilderness you’ve encountered up till now…there is absolutely nothing too hard for Him. He wants you happy and whole with nothing missing and nothing broken. He wants you to realize your full potential; making a huge impact in the lives of those around you.

So let today be your new beginning. Start thanking Him for working behind the scenes. Start thanking Him for your restoration. Start thanking Him for bringing your hopes and dreams into your reality. He promises to make it happen. Let your dreams get bigger in your mind and heart today. Let your dreams seem so out of touch that they couldn’t possibly happen unless God intervenes. Dream Bigger! Hope and Pray Bigger! And let God be God!

Mark 10:27 “And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.”

For today is a new day and all things are possible to those whom believe!

Da Real Purpose

Mar22

pain&sorrowNeed healing, restoration, strength, financial help or all of the above and more?

1 Cor 11:23 “For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.”

One of the most precious and rewarding acts we easily forget is taking communion. So many have been taught that it should be done only on special holidays. Some have been taught that you must be pure when you take communion or you will become sick or weak. That is the furthest from the truth you can get.

What you must remember is that when you accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior, your sins were forgiven! He makes you pure and white as snow.

Da Real Purpose of the communion is to remember the true reason behind it. Don’t do it haphazardly or without thought. When you break the bread, you should remember that Jesus’ body was broken for you. When you sip from the cup, you should remember that His blood was shed for you. That’s it, nothing more.

When you feel lost, unworthy, guilty, pain, sorrow and in need of help, the absolutely best thing you can do is partake in the communion. Whether you do it every day or once a week, the communion was given to us to remember what JESUS ACCOMPLISHED FOR US! He has given us a way to overcome the things that are coming against us. It was HIM and HIM ALONE!!!!

From this point forward, I ask you to partake of the communion every day. Begin to see the truth of Jesus’ sacrifice for you. Remember to celebrate that your sins are forgiven. Rejoice that one day He will come back to rule and reign. Receive your healing, restoration and strength that He purchased for you with His body and blood.

Don’t waste another day feeling weak, sick or defeated…receive and partake in Da Real Purpose of the communion and see Him work mightily in your life today!

Hold On

Feb17

Hold OnEvery where you turn, things are being shaken. The world is changing so fast that most people are unable to keep up with the demands, technology, and family dynamics. Heads spin trying to figure out which way to go, why things aren’t happening the way they envisioned, and when are things going to change. All of us, who have been called for a specific purpose, find ourselves struggling. Nothing seems to go right. Nothing seems to be happening.  You take a step forward and feel like ten steps back. But, I’m here to shout with you…HOLD ON!

All of us have been in the small beginnings stage; learning for the journey that lies ahead. God has placed a purpose and dream into your heart. You’ve stepped out in faith, trusting in His guidance. But, for some reason, it doesn’t appear to be working out.

Every step taken is a setup, not a setback. When we listen to God’s guidance and step forward, He is watching over every aspect of the purpose and will make sure it comes to pass. No matter what we see or feel, God is the Author and Finisher of our destinies.  (Philippians 1:6) He is in charge of the how, why, who and when.

People around you might be mocking. Friends and family members might be pushing you to go in different directions. However, if God has called you for a specific task…HOLD ON and DON’T LET GO!

  • Keep believing!Hold On 2
  • Keep trusting!
  • Keep pushing through the barriers!

For if you do, God promises that you will not be ashamed, humiliated, or disgraced (Isaiah 54:4).

You just might be one step, one encounter, or one moment away from your dreams coming true. For when God’s perfect timing comes upon you and all the pieces of the puzzle come together, it will be more AMAZING than you ever expected!

Job 8:7 says it this way… “And though your beginning was small, your latter days will be very great.”

So, whatever you do…HOLD ON!
