Take Time for God to Work

I've recently been convicted of my patience (or lack thereof) and I found myself calling out to God to remove any distraction from my life that keeps me from him. And in my praying, something came clearly to me. 

Impatience keeps you looking and looking keeps you distracted. If you can focus on God and trust in him that you will be without any doubt or impatient with God's work, then you look for other ways to fill what you think needs to be done on your term. 

We all know what happens when we do things on our own. We begin to stumble and fall without God. But the question is how do we wait or take time for God to work in our lives? 

Think of your life as a house, right now it's your house, and being that it's yours things are a little wonky. For example, your house might be built on a rocky foundation, or the doors and windows are not secured (making it easier for thieves to come into your house). Your drywall is water damage and your wood is rotten. Your house is empty yet filled with so much junk that doesn't benefit you. In simpler terms, your house is a mess. 

You noticed the problem and called out to God to help you with your house. But this process takes time. You need to deep clean and remove all of the junk from your life, and you have to break down some rotten walls and broken shelves. 

God has to do a full HGTV-style demolition on your house. Let him work.

Now God needs to pull the frames down and jackhammer that crooked foundation to start rebuilding. 

And the rebuilding process takes time it's easier to break down the broken than it is to rebuild something from scratch. And that's exactly what he's doing. God is starting from scratch with new materials, strong sturdy wood, and expensive and high-quality exterior and interior materials. God is building something bigger, better, and more beautiful than your previous house. Let him work. 

He's going to give you more than what you asked for and all he asked is that you give him a little time. Because you can't rush high-quality/God-quality rebuilding. 

Once he is done, he will give you the key to the house he built and say "it's all yours, respect it, honor it, love it and take care of it as I did for you" 

Brethren, your house is your life 
Let God Work!

Move In Silence

M-I-S, so that you won't "miss" your opportunity! When working on things and creating ideas, we are often excited to share the great news from the mountain tops. Granted, there is nothing wrong with being proud of your works nor is there wrong with wanting to share them with your circle. But we have to be mindful of the idea that not everyone is celebrating with you. Have you ever had a brilliant idea or exciting new thing happen in your life and you immediately shared it via social media or by word-of-mouth? Remember, how you had one or more persons who said some hurtful things or how when these got hard, you felt too embarrassed to mention it out of fear of more judgment? We have all experienced this at some point in our lives and it sucks. You should be able to share the news about a new relationship, job opportunity, baby, business idea, etc. But face it, we all have enemies plotting against us in jealousy.  How do you avoid missing your unique and wonder...

The Curse Breaker

"To remove generational curses, we must pray for generational prosperity." Whether we are aware of it or not, many of us have struggled with the bondage of our ancestors' trauma (or as we like to call it.... generational curses).  If addiction, poverty, abuse, grievance, or secrets is something familiar in your family, then I'm sure, you're very determined and dedicated to breaking those curses from yourself and the next generation to come.  As "curse breakers" we might find ourselves cutting ties, setting necessary boundaries, and praying that those covenants of our ancestors are broken from us. And as you pray, I ask that you take heed of what you're praying for.  Allow me to explain clearly, what I mean by knowing "what you are praying for. If the abuse was something prevalent in your family lineage, then you need to first rebuke abuse but also pray for the spirit of mental and spiritual healing to be loose onto you and your family. I...

Keeping His Commandments

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:17‭-‬20 NIV During his sermon on the mount, Yahusha Hamashiach (Jesus Christ) reminded the people that he was not on earth to destroy or "Do away" with the Mosaic Laws of the Old Testament. Jesus proclaimed that he was here to "fulfill it" meanin...
