You’re Closer Than You Think!
Posted by: | CommentsOne of the things that hold us back in life is the limiting beliefs that we hold against ourselves. We look at our circumstances and allow the way things look around us to hold us back from taking a step out on faith.
The truth is you are closer to your destination, you just don’t know it because you’re not taking action.
That dream home that you’ve been always wanting, you’re closer than you think to achieving that reality. That goal that you’ve been planning so long is just around the corner. That ideal body that you’ve been wanting to achieve is obtainable. You just have to go out of your way to make them come to pass.
Don’t look at your past. No, God doesn’t grant you favor based on your past. Don’t allow what seems to be a curse rob you of the destiny that God has for you. No, take a leap of faith today!
There’s a house out there with your name on it. Dare you claim it today! I dare you to call that real estate agent. You may be surprised at how much you have going for you. You may find that all this time you’ve been blinded because you’ve been focusing on what’s going against you.
That business that you’ve been wanting to start, why not get with a consultant today and map out a business plan? Maybe, you want to get in shape but you don’t know Read More→
Don’t Forget To Take Action!
Posted by: | CommentsWhen it comes to accomplishing your goals, it’s a two part act. Sure you need to have faith and believe that you can achieve greatness. But it’s not enough just to believe. Things start to happen when you start to take action.
In fact, I like to relate it to grade school when we learned about potential and kinetic energy. An object is said to have kinetic energy when it’s in motion. A perfect example of this is a rubber band flying through the air, it has kinetic energy.
Potential energy is the energy an object possess due to it’s position. If you take the rubber band and stretch it, it has potential energy. Once you release it that potential energy then becomes kinetic energy.
Well my friend this is the way I like to look at the game of faith and accomplishing goals. See when you release your faith you’re instilling potential energy into yourself. You’re stretching yourself to new horizons.
Once you take action, you’re taking that stored up energy and putting it to good use. It’s a two way street. I dare you to mix your faith with action today!
Yes It’s good to have faith because it’s the foundation that will empower you along the journey. It’s your faith that’s going to keep you on track when hurdles attempt to cripple you. But no matter what you do, stay in action! Stay the course!
I believe that opportunities will arise once you put one foot in front of the other and take action. You see, you’ve got assignments to fulfill. You’ve got mountains to climb. And as long as you’re sitting dormant, you’re only delaying yourself.
It’s okay to wait until you’re ready. No race starts with out these three Read More→
ShareGreater Things Are In Store For You!
Posted by: | CommentsOne of the greatest things that you have going for you is your faith. I believe that your faith is what will determine the things to come in the future.
Luckily, it doesn’t take much faith. God doesn’t base your level of blessings on whether you believe more than the next person. His favor for you isn’t based on how long you’ve been a believer. God moves on the simple fact that you are a believer period. He is honored when we join our faith in agreement.
If you honor God by exercising your faith, He will restore everything that has been lost and give you more. In fact, I heard Joel Osteen say, “He’s going to give you double for your trouble!“
Dare you join your faith in agreement today? Dare you believe that greater things are in store for you?
Know that God wants to perform a supernatural miracle. The scripture says that, “He’s perfecting those things which concern you.“
Remember that without faith it’s impossible to please God. All you have to do is believe. The scripture says, If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can move mountains!
I don’t know about you, but I sit up in my chair when I hear scriptures like this. To know that something so small can contribute to moving something the size of a mountain is amazing to me.
If you’ll just stay in faith, you will witness the blessings that God has in store for you! I dare you to wake up in the morning and make a declaration that something good is in store for you today! You Read More→
ShareSpeak Your Destiny Into Existence
Posted by: | CommentsYou have the great ability to be able to speak words of power into your life. You can speak to the mountains in your life, command that they be removed, and they will be moved.
You can turn any bad trial into triumph by speaking encouraging words over yourself.
I’m reminded of the scripture where men were speaking of stoning David, and as a result he became distressed. But David encouraged himself in the Lord. (1 Samuel 30:6)
God has given you the ability to speak anything that you desire into existence, if you go to Him and ask. We know this because Matthew 7:7 exclaims, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.“
It’s important that exercise faith, after going to God and asking of a need. Realize one of the greatest attributes of faith is believing before seeing.
When you command the mountains in your life to move, they have no other choice but to move. We’re encouraged of this because Mark 11:23 reminds us: “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.“
You see God has given you the awesome power to speak victory into your life. It’s up to you release self-doubt, let go of fear, relinquish the self defeat of your past and own up to your destiny.
You owe it to yourself to speak words of life into your future and believe in your heart and not doubt that you are an over-comer. Just like Mark 11:23 says if you speak that the mountains in your life be removed and don’t doubt- keyword doubt- then and only then will it be done for you.
You may say “This mountain is too big, I just don’t see any possible way around it,” well my friend, that’s where the problem begins. If those are the words that Read More→
ShareConsistent Work Is Key To Achieving Goals
Posted by: | CommentsWork hard so God can say to you, “Well done.” Be a good workman, one who does not need to be ashamed when God examines your work… 2 Timothy 2:15
In order to get something good out of life you have to put some effort. You have to roll up your sleeves and break a little sweat. Remember, faith without works is dead.
The scripture tells us to write the vision, and make it plain upon tables. However, we can write down our ambitions and goals all day long, but until we have the faith to act on it and put effort behind the work, we won’t see the vision come to pass. God is not moved on just our level of belief alone, He’s moved on our ability to act on our faith.
A wise man once said, “Even a mosquito doesn’t get a slap on the back until it starts to work.” Maybe you’re looking for a pat on the back. You might even be looking for the diamond in the rough, but remember that the treasure is never at the top of the sand. You have to dig down deep into the sand to find the treasure. The pot of gold doesn’t come before the storm, you have to go through the storm and find your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Too often people put forth a little work effort, gain some ground, and then lose interest. You have to be consistent in order to see the manifestation of your vision.
I recently challenged myself and set a higher bar for myself in one of my goals. It was harder work indeed but I started noticing better results. However, at some point in time, I started to lose the vigor that I originally had and as a result, my progress Read More→
ShareHow To Accept A ‘No’ In Your Life
Posted by: | CommentsWe’ve all heard the saying, “When one door closes another opens.” When you pray to God for something to manifest itself in your life, do you get disappointed when it doesn’t come to pass?
You can pray the unselfish prayer, that the Lord will let His will be done in your life, and you can even pray that He does what’s best for you, but when doors close in your face allow that ‘No’ in your life to push and motivate you to find the doors that are open to you. Read More→
ShareWhat Lane Are You Traveling In Life?
Posted by: | CommentsRush hour traffic is a funny thing. You can sit in one lane and watch the other two lanes moving forward, then the second you change lanes, that one backs up and the one you were in moves ahead.
Sometime ago, I was watching the movie, Office Space. I didn’t see the whole thing but I’ll never Read More→
ShareDo You Believe?
Posted by: | CommentsThis video gives a very short interlude into how we develop a repetition of just reciting scriptures and not taking it to heart. If you have not viewed the presentation, press play to begin viewing it.
Philippians 4:13, states “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.” This scripture has almost become a common place scripture. When we think of the many times we recite that scripture do we really believe we can do all things? Read More→
ShareWeathering The Storms Of Life
Posted by: | CommentsPerhaps you’ve been hit by the downfall of the recession. Maybe you’re out of a job or perhaps you’ve had the unfortunate experience of having your home foreclosed on. You may be tempted to get down in despair but I want to encourage you that God has your best interest at heart. He knows how much we can bear and He won’t let us down.
Life is full of ups and downs; it’s not easy, no one said it would be. However, remember when you’re facing a terrible storm in your life, that’s an indication that the Read More→
ShareDevelop Your Right Now Praise Now
Posted by: | CommentsDo you know that God responds to your right now praise? A right now praise is when we praise God in advance for what He’s about to do in our life.
You may have done all that you know how to do. You’ve prayed, fasted, tithed and you’re just waiting on that breakthrough that God has in store for you but I do believe that our actions dictate the way God moves in our life. He operates on our faith in Him. Read More→
