Move In The Spiritual

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” ~ Ephesians 6:12

Right now, we have one common enemy, COVID-19. If all good things come from above from the Father of Lights, then all bad things must come from The Accuser. Therefore, this COVID-19 is not from God, but from our enemy, and we must fight it. How do we do that? We pray against it. When we pray, things happen in the Spiritual that manifests itself in the Physical.

When in Peter was in prison, and they began to pray, an angel freed him. When Elisha saw the young boy dead, he prayed for him, and the boy began to breathe again. When we pray, things happen. So no matter how silly it may sound, or how hopeless things may look, pray for the things that need to come to pass, and we shall see the physical move.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Start In The Spiritual.

Let God Meet You

“He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.” ~ Isaiah 40:29 NLT

You don’t have to get everything right. You don’t have to be perfect. Because when you can’t, God will. He’ll lift you up when you’re too weak to lift yourself up. God will always be there for you. God meets us wherever we’re at.

You don’t have to fix yourself to come to God, come to God as you are and He will fix you. He will give you everything you need. The Prodigal Son came home with nothing. He was hungry, dirty, ashamed, but his father ran to him. He didn’t wait for his son to walk all the way home. No, the father so his son in the distance, and ran to him. He clothed him, fed him, celebrated with him, he through a party. He was filled with nothing but joy because his son was dead, and now he is alive.

When we come home, the Father runs to us. He comes running as soon as He sees us in the distance and He brings us home. He replaces our filthy rags with righteous clothes. He gives us food. He throws a celebration. He fills us with His love and His joy.

So, don’t be ashamed. Don’t give up. Come home to the Father. He’s waiting for you. He’s watching for the street to catch a glimpse of His Prodigal Child. So, come home.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Let God Meet You.

Open Your Gift

“Then you will prosper if you are careful to observe the statutes and the rules that the Lord commanded Moses for Israel. Be strong and courageous. Fear not; do not be dismayed.” ~ 1 Chronicles 22:13

How often do we pray for prosperity and nothing happens? How long do we pray for healing, and nothing happens? How long do we pray for a job promotion or even a job, and nothing happens? And so, we begin to doubt the sovereignty of God, but in reality, God has already given these things to us. He already gave us prosperity, that job, that promotion, that healing; all we have to do is unlock it. All we have to do is two things. Observe the statutes & the rules and ask. That’s it if we do that without any doubt, our world will change.

But what if I’m already obeying all the rules and asking, but it’s not happening? I guarantee there is a stronghold in your life causing you not to receive, whether it’s an idol you never acknowledged as so, whether it’s a grudge you never let go, whether it’s pouring faith in false teachings instead of God, false judgment, whether it’s an addiction (it doesn’t have to be drugs it could be something as simple as coffee, TV, video games, even music). When you have something in your life that takes precedence over God, it can cause you to lose out on the prosperity He has already given you.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Open Your Gift of Prosperity.

Do The Little Things

“If you see your neighbor’s ox or sheep or goat wandering away, don’t ignore your responsibility. Take it back to its owner. ²If its owner does not live nearby or you don’t know who the owner is, take it to your place and keep it until the owner comes looking for it. Then you must return it. ³Do the same if you find your neighbor’s donkey, clothing, or anything else your neighbor loses. Don’t ignore your responsibility. ⁴If you see that your neighbor’s donkey or ox has collapsed on the road, do not look the other way. Go and help your neighbor get it back on its feet!” ~ Deuteronomy 22:1-4

Often times we can get caught up in ourselves and what we’re going through, and we forget about those around us. We forget that there are other people who need help. Your help. Sometimes we get stuck in our own little world and miss the people around us. God said it’s our responsibility to help others, so go out and help someone even if it’s just a small thing. Sometimes it’s the little things in life that mean the most.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Do The Little Things.

He Makes All Things New

“He who was seated on the throne said, ‘I am making everything new!’ Then He said, ‘Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.’” ~ Revelation 21:5

Every year on Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement, the sins of the nation were rolled forward another year, and everything was made new. This is our New Year, a chance for a new start, new opportunities, and new or renewed dreams. Let’s put the bad things, the hurtful things, and the things that caused us to lose heart or to lose sight of our dreams behind us and look forward to our new opportunities.

Father, thank you for new opportunities and for second chances. Make this a year for Your people to succeed and for dreams to come true. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Let God Lead

“⁸It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; He will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” ~ Deuteronomy 31:8

As 2019 comes to a close, let us end the year strong. Let us end the year with God leading us into 2020, that we may start 2020 off right. That we may know what to do. Where to go. And every step in-between.

Allow God to lead you out of 2019 and into a prosperous and blessed 2020. Let’s let go of every tear, pain, heartbreak, offensive, and disappointment that kept us down in 2019. Let’s thrive in 2020.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Let God Lead.

Fathers

“And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord .” ~Joshua 24:15

Today we honor our fathers. The men in our lives who lead us. Who teach us. Who guide us. The men who protect us from the monsters under our beds and closets. The men who pick us up when we fall off our bikes, or in my case find a way to get 12 feet down off a ledge to rescue me from falling into the water.

Father’s do so much for us. They teach our young boys how to grow into young men. They teach young girls that they are princesses and how they deserve to be treated as a young woman by young men. They teach and guide us when we’re children. My Dad was and is and will always be the best Dad in the world! (I’m not biased or anything, just truthful)

Just as Joshua led his family to follow the LORD, our fathers today need to continue in this example. Dads are the head of the household, but in our day and age, we have turned this into a negative, anti-woman, toxic-masculinity problem. We have tried to destroy the roll of a Dad. When we get rid of the father, you get rid of the head. Without a head, you are running around without knowing where you are going. We have less and less highschool graduates, and more and more alcoholics, drug addicts, womanizers, criminals, etc. Without a Father, the household breaks down.

Fathers, you are not replaceable. You are not unnecessary. You are not useless. You are needed. You are wanted. And we are grateful for all the amazing things you do. Let’s not get rid of Fathers and their roles in our lives, but let us, especially today, honor our Fathers and be thankful for them. For those who grew up without a father or a good father, strive to be the kind of father that you wanted as a child. Be the protector, the rescuer, the leader, the head of the household, and the SUPERHERO.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Father.

Mother

“²⁰The man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.” ~ Genesis 3:20

This one simple verse shows us just how important mothers are. Without mothers, there would be no us. There would be no one. We would be extinct. Mothers give birth to us, feed us, clothe us, hold us, love us, they’re our safe place. Mothers stay up with us when we’re sick and do everything in their power to make us better again. Mothers aren’t going out of style. Mothers can’t be replaced.

Today I urge you to love your mothers. Show them as much love as you can, while you still can. If your mother has passed on, honor her today. If you are a mother, thank you for all that you do! May God Bless you, keep you, make His face to shine down upon you, may He clothe you in wisdom and splendor, may His favor go with you in all your endeavors, and may His Holy Spirit never leave you. May God Bless you and your loved ones this Mother’s Day!

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Mother.
