God needs you. Don't ever think that you are expendable, not of value to God. God created you with intentionality, purpose. You were made as a response to a need in this world. The harvest is much but the laborers are few. God not only wants you but needs you.

Deal with  your Messiah complex. You cannot and are not supposed to save everyone. This is the job of the holy spirit. Be sure to create a healthy distance as you care for and have compassion for others. People need to have room on their spiritual walks for the highs and lows. Pray for them, war for them, love them but trust the holy spirit to work.

It's never too late to return to God. No matter what you have done; no matter how long it has been; no matter the need go to God. He's waiting with open arms to receive you. God is not a human with fickle emotions. As your heavenly Father He simply desires your return. Even now. Go to Him and experience His delight in you.

What if God is not responding? He may not be responding in the way that you desire but make no mistake,He has heard your prayers. He knows what it is you are experiencing. He knows what you stand in need of. The perceived silence has purpose. Rest assured God is at work.

Never give up hope. It is never hopeless. Some things have to die in order for them to have new life. Is this not the power of the gospel message, resurrection? Prophesy to the dry bones in your life, use the power of the tongue to speak life into your situations. Don't give up. View the dying or dead thing as an opportunity for God’s glory to be revealed.

Are you getting tired, burnt out on life as you know it? Are people, things, activities losing their interest. Understand that God desires to bring you into new life but He must burn off the desire for the old to bring you into the new. He is transitioning you from the world’s system to kingdom living.

Who is it that you need to untangle yourself from? Who is it that you feel uncomfortable with, uneasy with? Who is that despite your best efforts continue to use, take advantage of you or are mean and dismissive of you? Create distance or even let go. They are not for you. Love yourself enough to put you first.

Why couldn't I love. God explained to me because He hardened my hear so I could not. It was time for me to protect and safeguard myself and put me first. I couldnt love despite my efforts because it was time or me to let them go.

I asked God why does suffering happen? His response was I will never understand as I view it through a limited human lens and understanding. Christ went to the cross and was crucified. It was God who was present in Him and suffered with Him. It is He that is with us and suffers with us. The rest remains as He is, a mystery.

Submission in marriage is God’s will for the wife. This is the proper order of the household. As a woman, when you are out of the order and authority of the family established by God, you open yourself up and give you and therefore your household access to the enemy to wreak havoc.

Mom story. God released from the care and responsibility of my mom. I never knew her but came to start. She didn't want to help herself and God told me I was no longer to help her either. Our job is not to do what we think the right thing to do is but what God says. He knows best.

God is for you. When you come to know how much God loves you and desires for you to be healed, loved, living in authenticity, you begin to trust Him. You may not understand and even be resistant to what He is doing in the moment but You will know that it is for your ultimate good.

God told me “people want to live apart from Me because they don't know any better. They don't know they are not supposed to do it alone but with Me. Or they see Me as a threat to their way of life, to who they are. They built their lives on falsehood and I want to give them truth.

God uses words. He is conversational and wants to speak to you and with you. He wants to ask you questions and have you consider and explore so He can impart revelation. He is  a real Father and Jesus a real brother and friend. They want to speak clearly to you and with you. He has a specific destination for you and a unique identity that requires you to not guess but move with clarity and certain...

Everything has been done under the sun. Don't get caught up in tasking, purpose or assignment. Be sure to make who you are, family, and home a priority. This is where you find joy. Even in the new as you step into purpose it will become routine. Practice contentment where you are

The Book of Psalms is so encouraging. David and many others allow you to have a sense of community in your walk with God. They bring their whole selves to the Lord without formula or methodology. Hurt, sad, confused? Read the Psalms and know you are not alone.

God will crush you. People think God will never have you experience difficulty. This is not biblical. He sent Jesus to the cross and on the other side was glory. On the other side of your crushing is God’s glory revealed in and through you.

God desires your heart. He wants you. Not your perfection, your false character, your performance but you. You don't have to figure it out. He already has. He just wants your heart. He will take care of the rest. Go to Him. It’s time. He’s waiting.

When are you going to fight? Stop giving yourself passes! Stop playing with God. Your very soul is at stake. This is serious. This is not just about you but about everything and everyone attached to you! Get in the fight, get free!

The secret the devil does not want you to know is that he created a world system to keep you small, rejected, neglected, angry at God, self absorbed, distracted. He has done everything he could to keep you apart from God, finding your true identity and living in purpose and is using your thoughts and people to do it.

My fear, I admitted, was that I would lose Jesus. I feared missing a step, getting off track, or becoming comfortable and my relationship with Jesus and the Father becoming a thing of the past. God showed me how this created fear and anxiety that comes from the enemy. He reassured me that nothing could separate me from His love.

Step beyond scripture is actually having a relationship with the word; having a relationship with God. God wants you to do something with His word. Many people challenged Jesus with scripture but He had to get them to understand proper application in each circumstance in real time.

We come to Christ acting out what we thought as heathens who a Christian is; how they should  behave. We often fall prisoner to others opinions of how they think a Christian should behave. We need to surrender to and seek Christ to find our identities in Him and then walk with Him as we walk that out with confidence.

I was reflecting on the beauty of my relationship with God and wondered why many others don't seek Him. He responded “Fear. So many are wrapped up in insecurities about themselves that spill over into their roles, relationships and life that they don't have time for Me because they are trying to secure life not realizing I am the way, the truth and the life”.
