We need the sparks to fly

 Gooooood moooorning family, it such a beautiful day. God bless you all. And God blessed me with each of you in my life. I love each of you very much.

I have a thought family. I have a thought of my relationship. As I am challenged and encouraged to build my relationship with Christ Jesus I am encouraged to build that relationship with each of you.  Yes each of you that I am txtn right now. I feel that I must get to know you all better. You are associates yes and some relationships are more developed than others. 

Hebrews 10:24-25 - And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

It's one thing to get together so often and to only have a minor respect for one another at church and in passing, but how well do I know you? How well do you know me? How well do we know one another? Yes we are busy as all the world is we get lost in the chaos of it all. Who doesn't we all tend to lose focus from time to time, but the strength of the Lord is within us. By coming to gather and letting iron sharpen iron we gain ground on the enemy because He (Christ) is with us. The thing we most often run from is the sharpening process. It takes friction to sharpen and not until the sparks fly do we really get to the sharpen process. Just know as long at the center focus is on God we can get through anything peaceably.

Matthew 6:33 - But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Just know as we come together in all manners as we keep His kingdom our focus we can be sharpened into whatever He needs us to be. 

I wish to gain a deeper relationship with each of you a step towards our creator, young or old we are all apart of the body. We must learn to lift one another and offer the shoulder to cry on or be the teacher or the student depending on the your need or theirs. We must join in His kingdom and quit focusing on this world but His. 

I know this was a bit of a ramble today but it's where the Lord has me today family, I love you all and look forward to growing the relationships we have to a new and more dependent upon Him relationship that sharpens us all. 

Father help us to become more like you in all our endeavors but mostly Father help us to continually sharpen one another to you will. Father help us to grow in our relationships with you Father but also help us to grow with one another so as to be the church your waiting on us to be. We ask all thing in the precious beautiful gracious amazing and wonder name of Christ Jesus, Amen! 

Are You Alignable

 I get this continuing thought are you alignable? Are you alignable? Are you alignable with Christ Jesus. Ae you alignable with the will of God for your life? Are you remaining alignable to come into alignment with The Holy Trinity in all areas, YES ALL areas of your life. 

Romans 12:1-2 - 

Living Sacrifices to God

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I seek this scripture out to find a way to let go of this world to give me strength, such as scripture that include how Christ is my strength. How I am strong when I am weak. How I can do all things with Christ in me. 

All of these scriptures and all there different translations help to encourage me and even give me strength, but if I’m not listening to and being ministered to by the HolySpirit, through the building of a personal relationship. How can I be held accountable for my obedience and/or my actions. I can look good on the outside sure, but what’s my heart like? What’s my tongue speaking? 

Matthew 12:34 - 

Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

So who am I really? Am I the viper or am I the saint? Look yourself in the mirror, yes eye to eye! Ask who are you? 

Are you getting caught up with idolatrous thinking or actions? Are you letting things hobbies people brothers sisters mothers fathers pastors ministries get in the way of your complete devotion to Christ the King? What is plaguing you in this life that’s not of God’s kingdom? 

Father I come to you the morning and ask for your help in making me alignable with your will in my life. Father help me to speak only the love and affection you have for me to all this around me. Father guide me to eliminate any and all idolatrous things, people, places, etc… from my life. Father I ask this all in the amazing wonderful blessed gracious name above all names Christ Jesus My Lord and Savior, Amen!

Given Up? How often do you Fail? Don't lose Faith!

​Are we patient?

Why are we patient?

If not, why?

Do you have the opportunity to be patient?

Never give up on Christ Because Christ has never give up on you.

Prayer is calling for backup and laying ahold of the Lord’s willingness to help us. 

Jeremiah 29:11 -  “For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

Prayer helps us remember that we are not in the fight alone and allows us to be hopeful for divine intervention as we navigate life's difficulties with patience.

Ephesians 3:20 - God is able to do “Exceeding, abundantly above all we can ask or think”

Mark 11:24 - “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

Joshua 1:9 - “Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

We have no reason to be fearful or discouraged with God on our side.  Instead, it brings boldness and an unstoppable attitude as we walk in faith and practice patience in all things in our lives and the lives of those around us. Keep on keeping on. Quit giving up on Christ even in the instances its for but a minute. Yea, I know we all have times of failure and of giving up on Christ. As we fall back on the Word we see Christ will never leave us nor forsake us and we see He is forever there with us through all we are going through.

I think of the times that I give up on God the most and find that its in His calling upon my life. The calling of me stepping up being the man God has destined for me to be. I know I fail Him way more often than I like. I just pray the Holy Spirit will continue to guide me and direct me in the path God as for me. I know I can pray all I wont and the know the Holy Spirit will do His part, but if I don’t get off my keister and do the work I will continue to fail the Lord and show that all I really do is continually give up on Him. I don’t want to keep giving up on Him. I want to step up and step out. I want to give my all to Him in His calling upon my life.

Isaiah 6:8 - ⁸ Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying:
“Whom shall I send,
And who will go for Us?”
Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”

This is the boldness I wish to have in my everyday walk. I wish to get up and step out into every single call the Lord places in my path for every instance. I want it to be His will not mine that gets done, no matter whether it be for prayer, laying on of hands, giving, support, encouragement, even raising the dead if that be His will for me. I just want my life to lift Him and Glorify and honor His kingdom above all we see or think.  I think of this in the instance of my brothers in arms in the Kingdom of God. How am I to walk? How am I to bear witness in my brothers’ lives? What does the Lord expect of me?

Galatians 6:1-3 NLT  - Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer[a] is overcome by some sin, you who are godly[b] should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself. 2 Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. 3 If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important.

As I ask what I am to do with the brothers in arms near me I hear pastor Troy just this morning recite this, Passage.  We are to lift one another up and share our burdens. We are to help our brothers with their struggles and not get Haughty and fall back into the same temptation we are helping to free our brothers from. We must know that we are not the ones who does anything to free a man we are only the willing vessel the Holy Spirit works through to do the work of the Father.

I ask you men in my life who are you?

I ask you men are you listening to the call on your life?

I ask you men are you hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit in your life?

I ask you men are you being obedient to the call upon your life?

I ask you men to evaluate where you are and bring it to your brothers and seek the help you need to stay on track or on your path as needed.

I ask you men to seek help if you need it to move forward.

I ask you men to give thanks to the men you have willing to help you in all you do.

I ask you men to pray for the men that you have that lifts you in this walk.

 

Father, we come to you today and ask that you guide us men through this struggle we face from time to time in life. Father, we ask that you show us how to not give up on you. We know your Word says you are always here and will never forsake us. Father, show us how to give back to you the same. Father, show us how to give to our brothers and sisters around us. Father, show us how to lift one another up and keep you in the forefront of our Minds. Father, we thank you for your continued guidance and direction through the Holy Spirit. Father, we ask that you give us courage to never give up on you or one another again, in the loving precious bountiful amazing anointed blessed and gracious name of Christ Jesus, Amen!

 

 

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Don't allow confusion and fear of the future to make you give up. Instead, trust in the Lord.
