No Limitations

Nov7

TrustOver the past few weeks, we have learned how to let go and renew our minds. It has been important to re-emphasize how God sees us and how we should see ourselves. The Bible is very specific in showing us that God meets us right where we are; in the midst of our battles, our sins and seeks those who are in need of Him.

Today, we are taking it one step further. With the holidays fast approaching, we tend to get quite busy this time of year. It is a time where many tend to see only problems, lack and inabilities to make things better. We tend to think that we can’t, we don’t have enough skill or money, we can’t make a difference or things are never going to change.

However, we miss the key point. WE SERVE A HUGE GOD! Our God created the universe from darkness. He is all powerful, all knowing, all loving, all caring and a Master Physician to boot. So what in the world do we have to worry about?

There is absolutely nothing we can do to deserve God’s love. He loved us before we were even born. He created us in the womb. He knew everything that we would face in this world and already provided the answers before they even happened. He knows what will happen today, tomorrow and in the future. So, let go of all the things that are holding you back. Let go of anything that no longer serves you. God knows what you need, when you need it and how to get it to you! Trust and believe in Him. He truly has you covered! Period! There are no “if’s”, “ands”, or “buts” about it!

I don’t know about you but I want 2016 to be the most AMAZING YEAR that I ever could encounter. And, in order to do that, we need to be prepared and in the right mindset…

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO LIMITATIONS WITH GOD!

HE IS ALL WE NEED! See Him for who He is and know that He will bring the most wonderful year to you!

He is the potter and will mold your life into something more incredible than you ever dreamed.

So, what are you waiting for?

Let go and allow GOD TO BE GOD!

Things Will Change

Oct31

Many times in life, we feel like we are going nowhere. We’re at a standstill and nothing seems to be happening.  Unsure of any direction and simply put, hope begins to fade. In times like these, we need to be reminded that the barrenness we feel is only temporary and God’s answers will break through.

We are reminded of this very thing, in Genesis. God promised Abraham that he would be the father of many nations. Yet, Abraham did not know the “when”, he just knew that God made him a promise.

Now, during the course of Abraham’s story, you begin to realize that a lot of time passed by with nothing happening. You could easily say that Abraham found himself on a long, rocky road of barrenness. He had no clue of the “how” and “when” this promise was supposed to happen. In fact, so many years went by, we see Abraham and Sarah deciding to take matters into their own hands. Unfortunately, we also see that unnecessary strife was the outcome of their decision. However, even though they made a mistake, God still came through for them. The most amazing part was that Abraham and Sarah were far beyond child-rearing days and yet, Sarah gave birth to a child. Just like God said would happen.

See, it doesn’t matter how long or how rocky our barrenness is. What matters is God has given us THOUSANDS of promises throughout scripture. He knows exactly what we are going through and how to resolve the issues we face. God knows the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10) and certainly doesn’t need our help along the way. He knows the answer and the perfect timing to make it all happen.

So, when you find yourself on that long rocky road, praying, waiting, and crying out for something to happen; remind yourself of God’s promises. Because even if you lose hope, hope remains. Even if you feel like you are losing faith, a mustard seed of faith will do. (Matthew 17:20)

I don’t know about you but I love surprises. And, GOD IS FULL OF SURPRISES! In His perfect timing, He will transform your barrenness into something absolutely amazing!

So, HOLD ON! God loves you way too much to leave you where you are.

Everyday is a new day and something AWESOME could happen to you in a blink of an eye!

Give Up Perfectionism

Sep13

perfect-erasersWhether you are an employee who wishes to do a good job for your employer, a housewife who takes care of the kids and household, or a student who tries to study really hard for those good grades…everyone wants to be loved and do a good job. They want to be recognized for their hard work and dedication. There’s nothing wrong with striving to do a good job BUT what happens when all that striving bogs you down and you end up making mistakes?

That’s when you can become guilt-ridden, frustrated and upset…which just increases stress and worry. Then the stress and worry can become illness which in turn begins a cycle of defeat. And on and on and on.

It is so important to realize that none of us are perfect! Everyone has things about themselves that they would like to change. Nobody has it all together, no matter how hard they try. If you constantly strive for perfection, you will end up worse off than if you would had just taken a step back, breathe and then move forward. We all want to do the best job we can, in all situations. However, the stress and worry that’s caused by perfectionism is not healthy and will create such confusion in your life, you’ll begin a downward spiral that is quite difficult to overcome.

“But God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” (1 Corinthians 14:33)

Stop beating yourself up! Stop holding onto your mistakes or failures AND…Let it go. You can not control what happens from those mistakes. However, you can release the mistakes, apologize for the mistakes and let the spirit who lives within you control the outcome. God has given us a fresh start everyday and he still has an amazing plan for your life. Don’t miss out on His goodness because you keep trying to control everything by being perfect. Perfection fails but God does not.

“And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them all.” (Matthew 15:30) 

So today, let go of your failures and pain. Let go of your stress and worry. Let go of your burdens. Lay it all at Jesus’ feet and rest in the one and only perfection…Jesus! He loves you right now. He wants to heal you so you can experience the abundant life He has in store for you. Let it all go and see the amazing things He will do!

Broken Yokes

Jul3

ProblemsWhen you think of bondage, what comes to mind? Maybe guilt, condemnation, poverty, sickness and disease, shame, temptations or addictions. There are many things that can be considered bondage. You might be fighting negative thoughts. You might be fighting depression. You might be fighting to pay your bills. Anything that comes against you where you are not living a full and peaceful life would be considered bondage.

While a majority of Americans are celebrating the 4th of July this weekend, we celebrate our heroes, our military, and our founding fathers. All who have blessed America with their amazing abilities in order to give us freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from oppression, liberty, and opportunity.

However, there is one person who has given us so much more than that. There is one person who laid down his life for us so that we could be free from every yoke, every bondage, and every sickness.

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.” ~ Galatians 5:1

Through Jesus’ finished work at the cross, He freely gave us peace, love, forgiveness, health, finances, and all the wonderful things that come from our Heavenly Father. So just as important as it is to remember the amazing freedom that we have as a society and for all those who have fought and died for that freedom; it is as important not to forget the amazing sacrifice Jesus did for each of us individually. It is His ultimate sacrifice that makes it all possible.

For who the son sets free is free indeed! ~ John 8:36

Faith is the Victory

So as people from all walks of life celebrate this weekend, may we thank all who have stood strong in the midst of adversity and thank our Lord Jesus Christ for making it all possible.

Today and every day, you can walk in Jesus’ amazing finished work and enjoy peace, love, prosperity, restoration, forgiveness, vitality, and more. It is His grace and His finished work that gives you PURE FREEDOM!

For each celebration and firework proves that we as a nation still stand strong, we are still one nation under God, and through His grace and power…we shall all remain free in the Family of God! Praise the Lord for He is worthy!
