Going Through

No matter what you are going through there is somebody that has gone through it before you; take courage in that, have hope in that, you too can go through it too. 

Life has a way to be very unfair at times.  Many of you have had to endure some terrible situations, been done wrong, and had to go through tough times that no one should have to go through.  However, you can and will make it through these times.  Don’t lose hope, keep your faith, know that better days are yet ahead.  You have not seen the end, but you are only in the beginning of your coming out.  You can be a better person because of what you are enduring.  If you have come out of your tough season, then don’t be bitter or angry because you had to go through it. Also, don’t hold unforgiveness toward anybody that put you through that difficult time.  Freely let go and forgive today. Be the better person. Learn from your tough times.  You are awesome. Today is your day of breakthrough!

Pass the Past

To move forward in life, we have to “let go of the past.” But have you ever wondered exactly how to do that? First, understand that we take hold of things in our minds with our thoughts. Our thoughts become words and actions that determine the direction of our lives. It’s that simple. If you want to choose a new direction for your life, you have to choose new thoughts. If you want to let go of the past, you have to quit thinking about it, quit talking about it, and quit reliving every negative experience.

When we see someone who has hurt us, that pain and offense is stirred up, and we start thinking about what happened again. But in that moment, you have a choice to make. One of the best things you can do, instead of rehearsing the hurt, is to pray for that person and speak blessing over them. Remember, forgiveness is for you. Letting go of bitterness is for you. Don’t let the past hold you back from what God has in store for your future any longer. Get past the past by choosing right thoughts because God has victory and blessing in store for your future!

The Pain

We all are going to experience pain in life.  Either the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.  I have experienced the pain of regret far too often; I am desire the pain of discipline over the pain of regret.

When we do what our flesh desires to do we will experience the pain of regret due to our actions.  When we endure the pain of discipline; we will experience the joy of success for it.  Either way our life is going to have pain in it.  It is your decision whether it is the short pain of discipline or the longer pain of regret.  There is a great reward for those that have discipline in their life.  When we want to do what is easy and what everyone else is doing; but we instead do what is right.  That is discipline.  It takes discipline in our spirit, soul and body to get the reward of success. The peace that comes from knowing that we did the right thing and no matter what it looks like it is going to be okay.  The rest that comes at night when you know you had discipline during the day and did what was right, not what was easy.  There is pain with discipline but you will receive peace, joy and happiness from doing what is right.  Do the right things regardless of the cost because the payoff is far more than anything it will cost you.  I applaud you today! I know you will do what is right.

All Broke Up

I used to think that I could inspire others by my having it all together & all that. Now I know that my inspiring/motivating others will come from my brokeness, restoration, and reconciliation. I am proof God does restore one to their destiny and purpose.

Everybody likes to hear about people who are successful. However, everybody loves to hear about a person’s failures and how they overcome them.  When I realized that that my failures and mistakes didn’t disqualify me from inspiring others, but it qualified me.  The same is for you too.  Your past does not negate you from reaching your destiny.  We all have made mistakes and have things in our past that we wish weren’t there.  Well, they are always going to be there.  It is the overcoming our past and using it to push us up and forward that counts.  If your past is not pushing you up and forward, but holding you down and back, then you have to make peace with your past.  If there are areas of your past that are still haunting you, then today is your day to confront and make peace with it.  Take the negative power away from your past.  Make the negative a positive.  Today is your greatest day and tomorrow looks even better.

Shut the Front Door

Sometimes God closes a door even when we’re walking in obedience, but it’s only because He has something better in store. Don’t become bitter and negative – trust Him to bring the right blessings.

God wants to bless you.  I often hear that God wants you broke, busted, sick, and confused; in order to teach us stuff.  I don’t go for that line of thinking.  I believe that He is orchestrating a plan for your life.  He has a plan to bless you and prosper you as the Bible says over and over again.  In His plan there will be times when an open door will close; even though you haven’t done anything wrong.  The reason for one door to close is so that another door can open.  God will take you from one level to another in your life.  Don’t get discouraged when a season ends in your life, but know that growth is coming.  With growth comes blessing.  God will never just walk off and leave you.  He will be with you ever step of the way!

Getting Clean

What hidden fear are you dealing with today? What issue, addiction, problem, or sin is keeping you from reaching your destiny? It’s time we get free from that bondage!

Is there something stopping you from walking in your destiny? Today is your day! The weight of your secret will hold you down as long as you hold on to it.  I am not saying that you have to tell everyone your business, but it is time to get rid of the secret.  Keeping your secret secret is much harder than getting it out and rid of it.   You can’t take secret issues, fears, addictions, or sins on your destiny walk.  It takes courage to deal with our issues, but a person of destiny has courage.  Experience the freedom that comes with getting clean from all your baggage.  You will be so glad you did!

Healing Love

If you are dealing with a lifetime of hurts, pain, disappointments, hopelessness, and discouragement then today is your day of restoration. God is wanting to pour our his healing love into your life. You are so worth it!

None of us in immune to the negative aspects of life.  We will experience some tough times, rough seasons in our life.  However, today is your day to turn it around.  Today is your day to come out of the storm.  God is restoring you today.  Not back where you were, but He will take you up to the next level.  God is in the promotion business.  His love will heal you and His grace will promote you.  God is a God of mercy. Yes, He does discipline us, but He is not in heaven just waiting and hoping you mess up.  God isn’t trying to cause you pain.  He is pouring out His restoring love on you today, right now!

Fired Up

If you’ve been standing in faith for the promises of God, I want you to know today that your time is coming! The dreams and desires in your heart, the things you want to accomplish, the situations you want to see changed will happen. Don’t give up just because it has taken a long time, or just because you’ve tried and failed.

I encourage you today — get your fire back! Don’t be complacent about pursuing what God has placed in your heart. It may be taking a long time, but God is a faithful God. No matter how long it’s been, no matter how impossible it looks, if you’ll stay in faith, your time is coming. Every dream that’s in your heart, every promise that has taken root, God not only put it there, but He has every intention of bringing it to pass. Declare today, “My time is coming…God is working behind the scenes on my behalf…I will fulfill my destiny…I will fulfill the plan God has for my life!” As you declare, expect, and wait for the appointed time, your faith will grow. Your hope will grow. And you’ll step into the destiny God has in store for you!

Shut My Mouth

One way we “close our mouths” so to speak, is by choosing negative thoughts. If you go around thinking, “Well, I don’t think I’ll ever meet my sales goals this year with the economy like it is”; or “I don’t think I’ll ever get promoted because I’m not that qualified”; or “I don’t think I’ll ever get well,” you will always get negative results.

Replace the negative ‘can’t do’ talk with positive ‘can do’ talk.  We will say what we believe and make it happen.  Change your negative thoughts to positive ones.  You may be saying, “How can I, my situation is so horrible?”  I understand that you may be going through or have been through some horrendous stuff, but we have to look at it and know that no matter what we will be stronger, smarter, and better because of it.  Your words and thoughts are so powerful, more powerful than we think sometimes.  Find something positive in your life today and build on it.  Begin to search out positive people and learn from them.  It’s easy to be negative, so it will take some work, but I know you can do it.  Today is a positive day!
