Have you even encountered a “force” of any kind? It could be a force of nature, a physical force during a work-out, or even on a roller coaster ride, there is a centrifugal force that keeps you in that seat while you experience loop after loop and curve after curve until you come to a stop..then you can put your heart at ease! Right?

Think about your spiritual walk being a roller coaster ride…you step in that ride with all the FAITH in the world that no matter how high, low, through loops, upside down, fast and furious..you WILL come to a STOP and be at ease! It’s the same thing!! Allow yourself to step out on Faith, go through the valleys of life and reach the mountain tops, just TRUST and KNOW that by FAITH, God is with you, through it all, God is with you. A FORCE greater than FEAR is with you, and in the end, you WILL come out just fine, intact, and ready for the next!!

FORCE FEAR OUT WITH FAITH!!

I was remiss and did not post on NOW FAITH FRIDAY’S, my apologies. However, I thought about this and deco to repost it as.

Harboring unforgiveness will impact your ability to completely trust, even your ability to trust God! We want to be free to forgive, love, trust, and activate our faith so God can move mightily in our lives!

For many years now through word and deed, I have understood the power of forgiveness. I understand that it can involve several layers, and it may not be complete after the words, “I forgive you” or “I apologize” are spoken, but you have to speak the words to begin the process. I believe I the power of forgiveness, because it works in my life very often. Sometimes, I don’t even realize that I have offended, but when I become aware, it’s in my heart to take the path of compassion & release forgiveness in the atmosphere! Is every situation easy? Does this mean I am not strong? Does this mean that they “win”? No, No, and NO!! *Forgiveness means that YOU ACCEPT challenges… *Forgiveness means that YOU ARE STRONG *Forgiveness means that you will ALWAYS WIN because you are releasing the other person, therefore you too are FREE! Forgiveness involves pulling back the layers of the onion. You peel away pride, ego, hurt, pain, and you release STRENGTH, HUMILITY, COMPASSION, and GRACE. This is one place where the work of healing in your life can begin. You will be blessed richly. I know that God honors my forgiving heart. Today I challenge you to take inventory of anyone who you may..knowingly or unknowingly be harboring unforgiving thoughts or feelings towards. Pray about it, and then pick up the phone, send a letter, or write these three POWERFUL words on a card…”I FORGIVE YOU”. Or maybe for you, it’s the other way around, maybe you know that someone is feeling as if you have wronged them. You be the one to start the healing process with four POWERFUL words, “CAN YOU FORGIVE ME?” With every post I write, I’m working on myself as well. So, I will end now, I have a phone call to make. What will it be …three words or four? Maybe both..but I’m ready to release my power! Be Blessed

I first posted this on Jan 8, 2019 in celebration of the New Year. Here we are in 2020, and it still applies!!! I’m still pressing, what about you?

*REPOSTED*

Keep Doing What You’re Doing….and do it in 2019 even MORE!

I know that it is often said that if you want to see different results you have to do something different, right? As we jump into 2019, ready or not, it’s here, I want to reiterate that sentiment, but with a different twist.

There are some things that we are doing that we should CONTINUE to do…just do MORE of that thing. So I don’t want you may want to change solely, let’s focus DOING MORE! There may be someone saying, “but I did this in 2018 and still not see the results.” I say, don’t give up, don’t cave in, and definitely don’t quit!! Here are some keys because we are just getting started!!

1. Submit your heart, your trust, your will, and your hope to someone higher and more powerful than you!

In life, one must understand that your power is limited by all by yourself. However, when you trust and believe in a POWER higher than yourself to take you through life, you become unlimited, limitless, immeasurable, and the boundaries and barriers are broken. For me, that power source is Jesus! (Luke 1:37)

So I commit to praying more, spending more time with God, tithing more, and spending more time listening to Him.

If you need help with your relationship with God and getting closer to God, just pray and ask God where to go. He will lead you to an amazing Church home with the right church family that will overwhelm you with love and support.

SUBMIT, stay faithful….just press in MORE. This must be at the top of my list, or I can’t experience the fullness of The Almighty!

2. Don’t try to change everything, at one time, this will prevent us from determining “which change” is producing the desired results. This is not a race, God has YOUR blessings saved up just for YOU!

3. Enjoy every incremental success and celebrate them all! These signs and wonders are essential to building our faith! Trust that the small successes will lead to greater victories!

4. Times can and will get tough sometimes, just a reminder, you are on the winning team, don’t quit!!!!! (2 Cor 2:14)

5. Remember that all work, all attempts, all efforts may not manifest immediate results, however you are SOWING into your VICTORY! There must be a season of sowing to enter the season of reaping!

6. Create a perpetual season of sowing & reaping! How? Don’t stop, don’t cave in, don’t quit! Give MORE, Love MORE, serve MORE!!

7. Anything that we value, we invest in, start with God, your family, your friends, your community, and yourself…Start investing in LIFE MORE!

8. Water what you want to see grow! There is so much going on in our day to day, we raise children, we work, we volunteer, we counsel, we operate in the world and all that exist within it, including the good and the evil. We need each other during the good times and the challenging times. We need the family God gave us, and the friends who are like our family. Water your relationships, matter of fact, FLOOD them! Send thoughtful notes, give amazing hugs of encouragement, pray FOR one another and WITH one another, spend time together—even if it’s a 10 minute phone call, pour MORE water on what you want to see grow MORE!!

9. Focus MORE! Examine what your focus is, re-examine it, and then proceed.

10. Increase your Blessing Capacity MORE!

I understand many things when it comes to finances. I understand that God is MORE than enough and will supply all my needs according to His riches in glory. (Phil 4:19). I understand that what I don’t have, and what I need, He always provides. (Matt 6:31-33) I understand and have experienced the miracles & wonders through financial blessings. Most importantly, we are blessed to be a blessing to others, and one way to do this is through financial blessings. It does not matter how much a person makes, it’s what they spend it on. I CHOOSE this year, like no other year, to let God take control of my finances and I will be on a spiritual budget that pay off my debt (Romans 13:8), and I will build an inheritance for my children’s children! (Proverbs 13:23). I will sow into Kingdom Building and the souls of man!

These are just a few things to reflect upon. Some, all, or none may pertain to you, and I pray that this year brings about many amazing changes in your life because you are taking the time to focus and do more!

The world is waiting….

In the midst of this historical COVID-19 season, I have found an awesome awakening that I may have found down the road…and at a much slower pace.m, but it’s here right now!

It’s just like everything in life is moving by us in slow motion, so I’m taking the time to truly see what has been right in front of my face. The hunger of my children for the things of God, their ever-increasing faith unfolding right before my eyes. I won’t have to look back and say, “when did all of this happen?”, I will already know.

It’s almost like God has earmarked this place in our lives for His signs, wonders, and miracles to manifest, and in some cases, explode! It’s a season of new birth for some, but for me, it’s literally a rebirth..an awakening!

I have found myself on a fast, praying more and praying differently—more strategically. I have access to church sermons so often via social media, any day of the week, multiple times a day, I’m thirsting for His Word! I am reading and researching God’s Word more, and more, and I have found myself in His Word!

What is going on? This has been an Awakening for me and I love it! Don’t get me wrong my heart grieves deeply for those who have lost their lives, who have lost friends and loved ones, and there is still a lot of sadness and grief going on. However, I can’t help but feel like God is using this time of tragedy to create amazing testimonies and an atmosphere for GLOBAL HEALING!! It’s right in front of us all! He will turn our sadness to joy, just trust God!

God is blowing a fresh wind in this season, and if you open your spirit up, you will catch this sweet awakening. You will feel renewed, and you will be reminded that you are redeemed, you are stronger, you are victorious, and you are chosen ..for such a time as this.

I’m not perfect, but I am pressing. I’m not all knowing, but I am all-trusting! My Faith has increased, my spirit is full, and my mind is being renewed and refocused daily.

I am listening to God’s voice, I hear Him speaking clearly….remove the chatter in your mind…open up your heart to hear the fresh wind of God moving..He’s waiting….

Have you ever decided to change something in your life for the better? A new job, weight loss, healthier eating, relationships, exercising? Perhaps you want to buy a house, move out of your parents house? Or maybe you want to finish something you started lie a blog (hello somebody), write or finish that book, get serious about starting your business, or maybe go back to school?

What does it require? This change requires a sacrifice, it requires discipline, it requires a mind-shift, and it requires FAITH!!!

I believe NOW like never before is a time RE-activate your FAITH! You already have had the thoughts, the dreams, maybe you’ve written the concepts down somewhere and never picked it up again, maybe you’ve even gone as far as to speak to a professional about your new venture, NOW what are you waiting for?

I have 6 words to say ….THE TIME FOR CHANGE IS NOW!!!

There are free anointed resources available to help you! My life is full of them, thank you Jesus! For everything that I need, God has strategically placed people in my life to support me in accomplishing that which I’ve been called to do. EVERYTHING I need He’s places a resource in my life—that’s why we are the body of Christ!! Just trust Him, have FAITH to know that He has already worked it out in the heavenly place, just activate your FAITH to transfer those things out of the hands of God into yours!

If you can see it, you can apply The Word if God to it, speak it, work hard towards it, feed it with FAITH, and watch The God of All EXPLODE like never before!!!

Lastly, the world is truly waiting on the gifts that God has put in you, what are you waiting for??!!! Release your FAITH!!

LET’S USE OUR FAITH NOW TO EXPEDITE US TO OUR NEXT LEVEL!!!

God laid on my heart to write about Faith every Friday in this season. This will not only build my faith, but prayerfully build the faith in the hearts and minds of others. With that said, on the BEST FRIDAY on the planet, here my my first infusion of “NOW” FAITH FRIDAYS!!

When I think of the scripture in

Hebrews 11:1 that states, “NOW FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not yet seen. (KJV). This is talking about NOW FAITH!

NOW faith is the PRESENT, TODAY, RIGHT NOW, THIS SEASON, AT THIS MOMENT!! I need NOW faith to be activated in my life!!

You can search the scriptures topically, you can search the internet, there are hundreds of books and references written on FAITH!! Find the right resource for you and activate the NOW FAITH in your life NOW!

Increase your faith, stir your faith, get an infusion of NOW faith in your spirit today!!The Bible tells us that the “Just shall live by FAITH!! (Rom 10:38). The Bible also tells us that it’s impossible to please God without FAITH and that God Himself will reward those that diligently seek Him (Heb 11:6).

In this season, like NEVER BEFORE, have I increased my faith. I needed some NOW FAITH to handle the circumstances of today and tomorrow!! I needed some NOW FAITH for some NOW stuff!! I needed God Almighty to remind me, through my NOW FAITH, that He does not change, and He was faithful to do it before, HE WILL BE JUST AS FAITHFUL to do it again!!

How did I activate my NOW FAITH?

(1) Reading God’s Word

(2) Listening to the preached Word

(3) Remembering what God has done

(4) Praying all scriptures pertaining to FAITH!!

God CANNOT & WILL NOT FAIL….He Himself is so very Faithful!!! Try Him for yourself!! To quote my Pastor Vince Allen, “FAITH IS THE CURRENCY OF GOD’S KINGDOM”!!
