Live Your Life



"Your words, your dreams, and your thoughts have the power to create conditions in your life.

What you speak about, you can bring about. If you keep saying you can't stand your job, you might lose your job.

If you keep saying you can't stand your body, your body can become sick.

If you keep saying you can't stand your car, your car could be stolen or just stop operating.

If you keep saying you're always broke, guess what? You'll always be broke.

If you keep saying you can't trust a man or trust a woman, you will always find someone in your life to hurt and betray you.

If you keep saying you can't find a job, you will remain unemployed.

If you keep saying you can't find someone to love you or believe in you, our very thoughts will attract more experiences to confirm your beliefs.

Turn your thoughts and conversations around to be more positive and power packed with faith, hope, love and action.

Don't be afraid to believe that you can have what you want and deserve.

Watch your "Thoughts," they become words; Watch your "Words," they become actions; Watch your "Actions," they become habits; Watch your "Habits," they become character; Watch your "Character", for it becomes your "Destiny"

So.......To prevent any obstacles....... GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY! Enjoy every minute you live!! Don't be too busy today... Share this inspiring message!"

Womb-Man

1 Corinthians 3:16, 17



"When Adam saw Eve for the first time, he called her "womb-man." She would bring forth life. what you need is a seed that you believe is enough to produce an embryo. You must be willing to feed that embryo for it to grow and become visible. When it will not be hidden any longer, it will break forth in life as answered prayer. No matter how hard others try to hold it back, it will break forth.

Put the truth in your spirit and feed it, nurture it, and allow it to grow. Quit telling yourself, "You're too fat, too old, too late, or too ignorant." Stop feeding yourself that garbage. It is unwise to speak against your own body. Women who speak against their bodies open the door for sickness and disease. Speak life to your body. Celebrate who you are. You are the image of God. The Scriptures remind us that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made" (Psalm 139:14). The truth will allow life to well up within you.

The devil wants you to live in yesterday. He's always telling you what you cannot do or be. His method is to bring up your past and turn your attention backward.

God is calling you to today. He wants to sow desire into the spirit of broken women. Until you have a vision to move ahead, you will always live in yesterday's struggles. The very fact that you have a desire is in itself an indication that better days are coming.

When I was a boy, we had a dog named Pup. Don't let the name fool you, though. He was a mean and ferocious animal. We had him chained in the back of the house to a four-by-four post. The chain was huge. We never imagined that he could possibly tear himself loose from that post. He would chase something just out of his reach, and the chain would snap him back.

One day Pup saw something he really wanted. It was just out of his reach. However, the motivation before him became more important than what was behind him. He pulled that chain to the limit. All at once, instead of drawing him back, the chain broke, and Pup was loose to pursue his prey.

That's what God will do for you. The thing that used to pull you back will snap, and you will be liberated because God has put greatness before you and within you. God is powerful enough to destroy the yoke of the enemy. He is strong enough to deliver what He has put in you, and set you free."

Trusting God





"Trusting God transfroms calamity into testimony. Knowing that He cares too much for you to abuse you and that He is too wise to be wrong causes a wounded heart to serenade the heavens. When we begin to know Him rather than just serve Him, we can trust His vision, His wisdom and His insight."

A Resting Place






Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can you, except ye abide in me.

If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered: and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. (John 15:4, 6-7 KJV)

A place where Jesus rest

A place where HE has free expression

A place of free access To do whatever HE wants to do
A place where HE can abide

A place where HE finds comfort in staying

Free of turbulence, strife and wars

A quiet place for Jesus to rest

That’s what He‘s looking for

Oh yes, Beloved

And that place is in you

Can HE sit on the throne of your heart and mind (soul)

Can HE find rest in your life?

(Selah)

Mary, Martha, and Lazarus have known

He delighted to stay with them when HE was in town

Our Father seeks a habitation, not only a visitation

Now that Jesus has become your savior, will you let Him be Lord?

Can HE live in your home and prop up HIS feet?

Or will HE always have to contend

With the fear, doubt, unbelief……

The storms, yes the cares of life within

Yes HE wants to chase them away

Far, far away…never to reside again

Because, Christ Jesus, has taken up residence

As His Words abides keeping us from sin

A resting place, where faith, hope, and love are in bloom He has free range in your life

Through each chamber of your heart and mind (soul)

Living in your house through every room

The room that says “WELCOME”, come on in

A place of total surrender and joy

The place that has been softened and the ground fertile

For wonders to explore

The room that says “DETOUR” takes another route

I’m not ready to deal with this right now!

With the busyness of life, the children and meetings,

I don’t have time, there’s fish fry across town

“Ah yes”, “THE SHOWCASE ROOM”, full of me, myself and I

Come in, take a seat, and remove the shoes from off your feet

Don’t touch anything nor move it even a little

Achievements, awards, accolades from both young and old

My reputation had a great cost; I pride myself on this alone

The room that says “CONDEMNED”! Where the enemy speaks lies

Constant shouts from behind this door as he torments you in your mind

Until hope is deferred of vitality or strength seems to be almost dried

“Your worthless, wrong, shameful, guilty, no good, hopeless, abandoned or you can’t do anything right”!

He weaves a cobweb of accusations, by day and by night

Next we have the famous “JUNK ROOM”; no one’s allowed to see

Where we shut the door, lock it up and put away the key

Filled with people and things from our past and present

No ones supposed to know

We hold on tight, why become an idol, “let go, let go, let go”!

Lastly, we come to a door labeled “DO NOT ENTER”!

Where your conscious has become seared or harden sometimes numb from the trials of life

If you let ME in, I’ll heal your pain and remove all the scars

I’ll be your defense, your fortress and shield, your friend and rear guard

A resting place, will you let MY (Word) settle down and rest?

Can your Helper, the Holy Spirit, come in and be free to clean all the mess?

He will fill every void with Himself, wisdom, faith, trust, hope, kindness, power, love, peace, and joy

With all that is needed, for I AM your source

After the recreation, renovation, restoration and transformation takes place in your new heart….

Will you let ME outside to play and frolic, with your family, neighbors, friends and the world?

Will I be confined to a box; as I peer through the window of your spirit and soul?

So many times MY Spirit is quenched in what HE wants to say or do

To save, heal, deliver, and transform.

When HE wants to fly and soar through ….you!

In these last days beloved, people are waiting to encounter ME.

How can they if I can’t use you? Will you heed to my call. Can I (Word) come and rest in you that you may truly rest in ME.

In Jesus (Word), is everything you have need of and all that I can, will, and have provided.

Will you enter into faith & patience to inherit MY promises?

Will you cease from all striving to make it work and know that I have already finished the work before the foundations of this world.

Come, I will help you cross over into the promise land (trust & confidence).

Will you speak my Word over your life, family, friends, neighbors and the world?

Where you will receive the fulfillment of all MY promises.

Come, and bring your gifts to Jesus, for you are MY very best!

A place where you and I are one

Come to me, all who are heavy laden,

For I will give….you….rest!

Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said: "So I swore in My wrath, 'They shall not enter My rest, although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience, again He designates a certain day, saying in David, "Today," after such a long time, as it has been said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts.

For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:1-3, 6-7, 10-16)

Seek The Lord


"When you know who you are, you don't have to struggle to live up to what someone else thinks you're supposed to be. That was Jesus' attitude when He met the woman at the well. As she approached, with her water pot on her shoulder, she was all upset and worried.
Jesus went straight to the heart of her problem. "Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst" (John 4:13, 14). Jesus went on to tell her all about herself and her five husbands-things that only God could know.
Like this woman, you may be wounded and upset. This kind of hurt can't be healed through human effort. you must get in the presence of God and let Him fill the voids in your life. Follow God's advice in Deuteronomy 4:29-31 and "Seek the Lord your God." You will not settle it by going from friend to friend. This woman had already tried that. She had gone through five men. The answer is not getting another man. It's getting in touch with The Man-Jesus the Lord.
After she met Jesus, the woman at the well didn't even go back home. She threw down her water pot and ran into the city to tell everyone to come and see the Man who had told her about like. This woman could never have rid herself of the old man until she met the new Man.
When you meet the new, you find the power to say good-bye to the old. You will never be able to break the grip of those former ways on your life until you know Jesus Christ. You must come to Him just as you are. If something has attached itself to you that is not of God, you won't be able to break it in your own strength. "Submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). Knowing Him will give you the power to break away from the old self and the ties that hold you prisoner to your past.
Jesus satisfies. Everyone else may pacify, but He satisfies. Seek His presence. He meets every need and every yearning. He heals every pain and every affliction. He lifts every burden and every trouble in your life. He's The Man!"
