Order Your Steps

Let’s begin by looking at Proverbs 6:8 CEV, which says: Always let him lead you, and he will clear the road for you to follow. Don't ever think that you are wise enough but respect the Lord and stay away from evil. This will make you healthy, and you will feel strong... OR are we trying to move within our own power without the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit? Let's take a look at...

Well I’m sure that with a topic like “Reluctant Obedience" , you must be curious of what does that really mean. It’s an oxymoron at the very least, so please allow me to explain… The question is, how many times have we been reluctantly obedience, because we have taken responsibility for something that wasn’t ours to begin with and thought that we could control the outcome.  Ultimately, when t...

The Holy Spirit has finally allowed me to continue with Hiding or Hidden – Part II , although we know that the last two episodes were not really detours, but steps on our path that He had already ordained. So, today we are considering if we have the courage to come out of hiding, from behind our stuff, our insecurities, or other people? Or are we simply hiding behind our busyness?  But what i...

Over the past few weeks, we decided that we are going to stop trying to hide from the Lord, seek His presence and worship Him; trust His sovereignty and lean into the Holy Spirit.  Today, we are going to delve into the idea of what it means to “Bear Good Fruit” .  Many times, there are things that we have heard and or learned that we have taken for granted and have not fully understood,...

Last week, our topic was “Hiding or Hidden” – Part 1 and we talked about the impossibility of trying to hide from the Lord, and more. So, this week, we were supposed to look at the idea of “being hidden by God”.  Therefore, you may have been a little surprised to see that our topic is “Biblical Rest” , but that’s because, as always, the Holy Spirit had other plans.   A few weeks ago, “Wh...

I’m sure that you have looked at this week’s topic, "Hiding or Hidden" , and have immediately wondered, What’s the difference? Well, I am glad you asked…. Are we trying to hide from God? Or Is He keeping us Hidden?  We know that we can’t hide from God, but we can shrink back from those things that we know He has told us and needs us to do. We may not be intentionally trying to hide from the L...

As I mentioned in the last episode, I have found myself in the Winter season, and the Lord has continued to clear my calendar, one client at a time. At this point, since I have been at this place before, I was even more convinced that the Lord was freeing up my time for a specific reason and it was not so that I can play Words with Friends.  Although Winter is a time for rest, which means a t...

Last week, we left off with Galatians 6:9 KJV, which says; And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season, we shall reap if we faint not , and we will come back to it a little later. In the meantime, you may not have realized it, but we have five (5) seasons, Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall, and DUE season . The Holy Spirit has been rather persistent with this message of Seed, Time, and Har...

We’re already 30 days into a new year and I'm very concerned that we are already consumed by the mental chaos of busy and out of our divine rhythm. A stream of clutter is slowly turning our mental space into a chaotic mess.  The year has just begun, and it is much too soon to allow our mind to become cluttered with thoughts of discontent and defeat.    We are going to pause, take a...

Last week, we started our discussion on Seed, Time, and Harvest . In Genesis 8:22a, it says, As long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest… and the Holy Spirit showed us how the process of farming can be applied to our lives today.  This week, we will briefly review the process of sowing the seed and reaping the harvest.  The Lord provides a bountiful harvest, the rewa...

So, as I was lying in bed, early Saturday morning, anxiously awaiting to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, when I heard in my spirit, SEED, TIME, AND HARVEST , thus my topic for this week. Farming analogies are used throughout the Bible, so I started my search, which began at Genesis… As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest , cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never c...

Although, we are only eight days into the new year, it has been very interesting what the Holy Spirit has been saying to me and maybe to you also. I believe that in 2023, we are going to be PUSHED into our Purpose, like never before.  The Lord is going to PUSH us this year, because He is truly tried of waiting for us to do what He has already told us to do.  We are being PUSHED out of ou...

It’s a New Year and although our lives usually do not change drastically from Dec. 31st to Jan. 1st, it’s another year of God’s Favor, for us to experience life like never before .  Often, I must remind myself that my task is simply to plant the seed, therefore, my message to you will not change in 2023. We must always take a quiet moment to listen to what the Holy Spirit is saying, we must h...

We are moving rapidly into 2023, another year of God’s Favor, but we must be careful not to pray away the mountains that the Lord may send our way. We must understand that the Lord is always strengthening us for this journey .  We can’t afford to allow our mind, heart, or soul to become cluttered with thoughts of discontent and defeat.  Although it may get tough, the Lord is always on ou...

This may be somewhat of a weird introduction to this week’s episode, but I almost missed my miracle, which is why I’m saying to you, “Don’t Miss Your Miracle!” ... Well, my story began about 4 years ago, when my husband broke his ankle after he slipped on the ice.  Being the man that he is, not knowing that it was broke, decided to cinch up his boots real tight and walk on it for TEN whole da...

There’s absolutely no benefit in rushing the Lord’s process. No matter the length of time that we must wait, He is teaching us to be patient while He continues to perfect us, grow us, and mature us. So, as we pursue our purpose, success, and greatness, we realize that it all will happen in His Divine Timing.  It doesn’t matter what you are waiting for, the Lord needs to know that you can hand...

As we move into 2023, I have so many thoughts swirling around in my mind about what the Lord has in store for us in the coming year.  As our journey continues, we all know that life will continue to happen, but the midst of it all the Lord has a plan. With our lives changing so rapidly, we must resist the desire to simply bury our gift, out of fear and just move on. We know that is not just a...

We don’t always have to make change happen, in life, in our careers or in our businesses, we simply must allow it to happen and not resist it!  Although we would rather not discuss this reality, but many times, failure is also inevitable, however, we must know how to manage what we cannot avoid.  So, let’s face change head on! There will never be the perfect time to take the next step, b...

There are times when we must tell the enemy NOT TODAY!  We must let him know that we will not entertain one taunt, threat, distraction, discouragement, or setback.  We must also remember that although spiritual warfare is real, our enemy is not people. So, I would suggest that we pray for all of those that may cross our path this week.  Take a moment to be still, be slow to speak an...

God Forbid! But have you ever lost your phone? In that moment, did it feel like maybe the world had stopped?  Well, as we consider just how devasting the thought of losing our phone would be, what would happen if we found ourselves disconnected from the Holy Spirit?  I would venture to guess that we almost always know where our phones are, so that we can stay connected to the outside world. So how...

Now before I tell you the rest of my story from last week, I want to remind of the question at hand, Are you Loyal to a Fault? Loyal to a friendship or a relationship, even a family member, who may have become a distraction or a disruption in your life; or maybe we are loyal to a job, a position, even a church, that we have lost sight of our purpose and even ignored our calling.   Amid the agony o...

When you have a moment, please take a look at this week's video on YouTube ... Early one Sunday morning, the Holy Spirit asked me this question, “Have you become loyal to a fault and in essence, lost sight of where I need you to go”.  But, as I believe that some of us have done from time to time, I pushed past it and started to go about my day.  As my day went on, I realized that the Hol...

Do you have those close friends or relatives that you don’t talk to often, but you are very close? You may see them on Facebook from time to time, but as life happens, years may go by without actually talking to each other. But, in a moment, the Holy Spirit will say just call them. Now this is the challenge, do we take the moment to call or do we put it off or maybe you just text to say Hi.  ...

Last month, I turned 66 and although I know that my steps have been ordered through all the good times and the bad, I finally have a confidence that I’m truly living on purpose.  My life still has its challenges, but I’ve learned to “stop sweating the small stuff" , I turn the big stuff over to the Lord, and if I'm not sure what size it is, I give it to Him anyway. But, you really don’t have...

Are you in a place of uncertainty? Are you growing weary in your efforts to keep moving? As we said last week, you may be in the wilderness.  Although the wilderness may feel like a place of stagnation, maybe even boring and non-productive, it’s a place of the Lord’s provision and protection until we are ready for where He needs us to go, to the place that He has promised us.  Our journe...
