A New Level

God will never ask you to do something without putting His ability to do it on the inside of you.  

You may be at a place where you can easily become discouraged and give up on what God has placed in your heart. But the good news is that, God has spoken a promise over you that will not die.  You can try to ignore it, and your mind will try to convince you that it’s never going to happen.  But deep down, you’ll feel a burning, a restlessness, a fire. That’s the promise that God has put in you.  What God has spoken over your life will happen.  Some people look to others to fulfill their destiny but you have to realize you are the right person.  You don’t need anyone else to give birth to what God has placed in your heart. You are equipped. You are gifted. You are talented. You have what it takes.  The gift, the promise, is in you.  Now is the time for you to stir up what’s on the inside.  It’s time for you to rise to a new level and do something great for God.

Searching For

People all around you today are searching for that something to make their life complete. Many never seem to find it. They spend their whole life frustrated and miserable searching in vain.

What is it that you are looking for today? We all have a reason and purpose for being here. God created us full of destiny.  Until you get in that zone of what you were put here to do; you will spend your life searching.  What is your purpose today? Why are you here today? Stop trying to do and become.  Become the person that God created you to be.  Begin today to develop yourself, your talent, your gift.   Start to develop yourself spiritually.  You will find that peace and contentment you are looking for when you start living out your destiny and purpose.  How far you go in life will be determined by the close friends you have and the books you read.  How are you doing so far? It’s never too late to start your adventure. Today is your day!

Packed Up

Just like we pack our bags for a trip, making sure to leave nothing out, God has packed our bags for our destiny.  He has left nothing out. 

God has anointed you and equipped you with everything you need to fulfill your destiny.  You have the right gifts, the right talents, the right personality.  Everything about you is right.  He has anointed you to fulfill your destiny.  That means because of his strength and power in your life, you can do all things though Him and be successful in life.  Sometimes there are gifts and talents inside of us that are not easily recognized.  Maybe they don’t come as natural and easy as our other gifts.  But, they are still on the inside in seed form placed by God.  They may be in the form of a desire, a dream, or a hope for the future.  Those seeds are developed by believing God has equipped us and anointed us.  They are developed by stepping out and stretching.  They are also developed through perseverance.  When situations become tough, life tries to push you down, and people try to talk you out of your dreams, you have to push through in God’s strength knowing that you have what it takes.  When you understand your value and worth and realize you were created by God, that you are lacking nothing, that’s when you will get a new perspective for your journey and God-given assignment.  That’s when you’ll being to step out in faith and see God do amazing things in your life.

Hanging Curtains

02 17 11 Thursday

Melissa has gotten some new curtains for our house. She has got it all planned out how I am going to hang these curtains.  I had this big revelation about the curtain rods and the curtains.

I hope that I can write this the way that I have seen it.  Sometimes trying to get my thoughts on to paper; especially mental pictures, can be difficult. So anyways, here we go.  The curtains are like the talents that we all possess.  We all have been gifted in some area.  Our destiny and purpose will be hinged on the gift that we have been given by God.  Sometimes we stumble around with the curtains getting all tangled up in them.  Like trying to figure out what our gift is in our life.  We try to hang the curtains without the rod.  It is only when we get the curtain rod secured and in place that we can then hang the curtains on it. The stabilizer or the rod in our life is love.  Once we get established and secure in unconditional love we can then see our gift manifested in our life.  Everything in our life will come back around to this unconditional love.  Without love in our life we will not be established in who we are, our identity, our purpose, and/or our destiny.  If you feel like you are tangled up in the curtains; look and see where the rod is located.  Your love walk will determine your destiny walk.

Divine Appointments

02 12 11 Saturday

There is something to said about the divine appointments in our lives.  I am always on the lookout and expecting divine appointments everyday of my life.  There are days though that are full of these occasions.

I have written about destiny agents, people positioned in your life for a season and a reason.  There are also, divine destiny appointments.  I had several of these type occasions while traveling this past week.  I had one plan in mind, but God had another, even greater plan for me.  I met folk that I know it was God that I met them.  When we put aside our plan and agenda, allowing God to work His plan in our life, we will see remarkable things.  There is no pressure to make that contact that can help you the most.  There is just freedom to be who you are and do what you were created to do.  I have been told that when that one person reads your book, blog or text you will be moved to the front of the line or front of the class.  However, it is not my responsibility to try to make it happen. I am just to write and do what I am supposed to do.  That is true for us all.  When we relax and do what God has given us to do; then He will do the rest.  I figure God has more contacts than I do anyways.  Why not let Him do the marketing and be the agent of my life.  I know I have to do my part, but that’s easy.  We all have a role in life.  Do what you were created to do and you will be noticed by the right people, at the right time, for the right reason.  God is faithful and will do His part.  His way is perfect so why not let Him direct our steps.

It's Time to Take a Stand

02 03 11 Thursday

There comes a time in our live when we have to make a stand.  We have to make a stand for what is right.  Today it’s time to take our stand.

We have to make our stand against average, against giving up, against status quo.  It is time that we stand for destiny, for purpose, for identity.  We have to make a stand that we will not stay the same.  We are going to grow.  We are going to be exactly what we were created to be.  As we walk the path of our destiny, we will see those that gave up and settled for average or worse.  We will see those that decided it was too hard and gave up.  Never give up, don’t ever give up.  No matter what the situations you face; keep on moving.  It is not time to set down, but it is time to make our stand.  It is time to do what we have been created to do.  Life is too short and too long to live our lives in regret of what could have been.  There is greatness inside of you.  It is time to expose that greatness.  It will be manifested differently in each of us, but today is your day.  Be confident in who you are and your destiny.  God has a plan for your life.  It is time to stand and take your place in life.  You are valuable, you do count, you have a purpose.  No more fear.  Today is going to be your greatest day and tomorrow looks even better. You can do it! I believe in you and am pulling for you!

Not Disqualified

01 29 11 Saturday

In spite of all the past mistakes we have made in our life; God still has a plan for us.  Don’t be discouraged by your past; be encouraged by your destiny.  We have not been disqualified.

For some of us we have thought that because of past mistakes and wrong decisions; we have been disqualified from our destiny.  This is not true.  Many times it is our mistakes and failures that qualify us for our purpose and destiny.  I have dealt with this in my own life.  There have been several periods in my life that I felt like God had put me on out of the way and forgotten about me.  When I would go through difficult times; I would think that my ever having a purpose or destiny was over.  I know this is not true, but the feeling can be hard to over come at times.  The enemy knows where we are weakest and will try to attack our mind in that area.  Stay focused on what God has said about your future and destiny.  I promise you that you have not been forgotten about or disqualified.  Folk may even try to make you feel that you have been, but it’s not true.  Get back up, learn from your past, and move forward.  I believe in you, standing with you, and counting on you.

Hip Hop Don't Stop

01 25 11 Tuesday

The other day my daughter, who is 7, came to me almost in tears, because she was having trouble with a Hip Hop dance routine she was trying to learn.  She told me she couldn’t do it and was going to give up.  Wonder how I reacted to that?

I am amazed at her young age how we start developing a give up mentality.  We feel like we aren’t good enough.  She doesn’t hear that at home, school, or church.  It is the nature that is in us at birth.  The older we get the more developed we become in that mindset.  We have to work at and train our mind to change.  Never give up! You are good enough and then some! You were created with purpose, destiny, and greatness in you!  How is it we let this go at a young age? The enemy of your life will plan negative seeds in your mind.  Don’t settle for average in your life.  Don’t let others tell you negative lies about yourself.  Train your self in the truth.  What does God say about you? He created you, you aren’t perfect, but the truth is what God says about you. The truth will always override the facts.

Well, about ten minutes after she and I talked, she came running back in the room telling me how she had gotten the routine down pat.  The truth was she could do it and failure was just part of the process.  What is the truth about you?

Due Season

01 20 11 Thursday

Tired of being frustrated and irritated with your life?  Tired of always being on the outside looking in?  Tired of thinking about what could have been or should have been? Then this is your day.

If we are honest with ourselves and others, we would all say we have been in this place at one time or another.  You may be in that place right now.  I have to really guard my mind against getting in that place.  I walked to of the gym the other day, it was rainy and overcast and I just said to God; “I am tired of being a nobody, a wannabe, average, unnoticed and unappreciated for what I do.” Now you may never feel this way or say that, but I do at times.  It’s not about being in the center of attention or the star, but just knowing that what you do is helping others.  I want to see some good fruit from my work.  I am ready for ‘what goes around comes around’ to be a good thing.  I want to enjoy the reaping what I sow.  I know all in due season.  Frustration and impatience on my part is a sign of pride that has to go.  I want to encourage you today by telling you; you are not unnoticed or unappreciated.  In due season you will see the fruit of what you are doing. God has an awesome plan and purpose for your life.  Give Him His time with you to prepare you.  Be patience; be still, listen and wait on God.  He hans’t forgotten about you. You are in the forefront of His mind.  He is thinking about you all the time.  Your best and greatest days are yet ahead.  Enjoy this season for what it is doing in you.  You are full of awesome, wonderful, marvelous destiny!
