When you don’t seem to be getting the answer you were hoping for in prayer. Remember the following Scripture:
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the LORD.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Just meditate on these scripture verses for the day…God ALWAYS is looking at what is best for you long term not just in the immediate.
Love,

Today, I just want you to wait on the Lord.
Spend time in reflection.
Take time out to embrace silence and hear what the Lord has to say to you about what you are wrestling with.
Read God’s word, spend time praying and asking the Holy Spirit to reveal Truth to you.
Seek the Lord for comfort, peace, and understanding with what you are thinking the most about.
Try and simply wait on the Lord in the stillness and silence to hear what the Lord has to to say.
Just remember whatever the Lord has to say…will give you a sense of Peace and comfort that all is going according to his plan.
Be still as well to see if there is any sins, bitterness, fear, pride and just stress that is taking more of your energy and time than focusing on the Lord.
Just wait on the Lord…it can be hard just to be still and listen..but the rewards are great with Eternal rewards.
Love,
T

We live in a world where life is centered on relationships. And the closer you are to a person the more impact you have on one another.
Those you are closest is to, know you the best and you know them the best, so if you are emotional they are going to respond to you based on that emotion. You will do the same thing..if someone is a little emotional with you, you are going to respond to that emotion.
Not only emotions, but we all respond to what those who are closest to us think and say. And the same is true for what you think and say. It is not a one way street in relationships. It is always an act and respond situation.
So the next time you are about to say, express, or do something, think about what responses you may get and how it will affect your relationships with them. Same thing holds for what people say, express and do towards you.
It is essential to spend time every day in God’s word and in prayer so you can be filled with the Holy Spirit so that what you say and do reflect Christ. Whatever you say and respond to in your relationships should reflect God’s love.
Learn how to die to the self, and your own sinful nature, and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Remember if you are filled with the Spirit you will not gratify the things of the flesh. And finally remember that Christ crucified the flesh on the cross so walk in the Spirit.
Everything has a cause and effect, and the key is being filled with the Spirit so that what you say and do gives honor to God in your life.
Renew your mind in the Spirit today, Romans 12:1-2.
Love,

Who are you really? Seriously, take a time out for a moment, are you the same person you present yourself as to others?
When you tell people you are a Christian, does your personal life reflect a person who truly walks closely with the Lord.
Can people see the Fruits of the Spirit in your life? The Fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Or is there any traits of the flesh? The character traits of someone walking in the sinful nature are sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies.
You know we all can have ghosts in our closets, we can all live a dual life, pretending to be Godly, yet living a life that is actually ungodly.
The key is to be real with yourself. Be real with God. God wants you to love him completely with nothing in the flesh in your life. So…do some soul searching. Ask God if there is anything that you are thinking, feeling and/or doing that he disapproves of that he wants to work on with you.
Integrity is a big deal with God. It is being transparent with God and your fellow man. It is truly being available to Love and to be loved.
Integrity is being honest with yourself and others. It is not being afraid to share your areas of weakness and sharing your true self with others.
Integrity is being a testimony of Truth. It is walking in the way of Righteousness, it is putting God’s commands before your own. It is being authentic.
Here is a great scripture verse to hold onto:
1Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is your[a] life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
5Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.[b] 7You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
12Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
15Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3: 1-15.
Dive into God’s word, spend some serious quiet time with the Lord. Allow Christ to dwell deeply in your heart, invite him to remove anything of the flesh from you, and seek the Lord..repent of your ways.
Remember, every single one of us will need to give an account of how we lived our lives. Live for Christ..and let go of the self, temptations, and be real and authentic.
Love,
T.

Today, I want you to sit down and discern your boundaries in your relationships.
Boundaries are what you put in your life so that someone does not overstep their role in your life. In addition a boundary helps you not overstep your role in another person’s life.
There is a defining line in relationships that determines having a healthy life together. You need to discern when someone’s own personal issues are falling into your life. Meaning they may force an issue or give advice in regards to something that is not really what God wants you to deal with. Meaning what they are share does not pertain to your life but more pertains to their own. So use discernment.
A good rule of thumb is just listen to what a person shares with you..and go in prayer to God to see if what is shared something God is trying to speak to you about. If it seems that the Lord is telling you that it is their own issues, then you will need to establish a boundary with them. Just speak with them in love, let them know you appreciate them sharing with you, but for now, what they are attempting to bring up does not need to be reviewed. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you so that you can maintain the relationship yet with healthy boundaries.
You will also need to be real with yourself. You need to know your issues, and areas of weaknesses. You need to reflect on how you can overstep your boundaries with other people. Forcing an issue, forcing your way, and maybe trying to be in control. You will always know when you are having boundaries issues, because you will have guilt, fear, pride, ego, and the self come in to play.
So just be still today…allow the Lord to reveal to you what the boundaries need to be with the people in your lives. Look at just keeping yourself and others in a healthy place, not forcing your ways nor another person’s ways to dictate your life.
Stay in God’s word…pray…be filled with the Spirit of Truth. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you in establishing healthy boundaries with others.
Love,
T

Not sure why God is having me focus on this verse in the bible but he is. “Do not be Deceived” Gal 6:7.
So I am not going to be deceived when Satan attempts to attack me via my self-worth. I am a child of God, loved by my father very much.
I am not going to be deceived when Satan attempts to tell me that “I am not good enough” for in God’s word he says that “My grace is sufficient for you in your weakness.”
I am not going to be deceived when Satan attempts to make me feel “guilty” for doing what I know that God wants me to do.
I am not going to allow Satan to deceive me in believing lies that are said about other people.
I am not going to allow Satan to deceive me by denying Christ in other people. No matter what people say about another person, I will choose to see Christ in them and love them the way Christ loves them.
I am not going to allow Satan to deceive me with getting caught up with feelings. For feelings come and go, but God’s word remains the same.
I am not going to allow Satan to pull me down when my finances are not working out the way I want them to. For in God’s word it says that I am to store up treasures in heaven not on earth. And I am not to worship money but to worship God.
I am going to remain steadfast in my walk with the Lord. I am going to remain alert to the schemes of the devil. I am going to remain in Christ. I am going to draw near to God. I am going to remain humble and serve others unto the Lord. I am going to put on the full armor of God..and allow Christ to dwell and live richly through me.
In addition, you do not be deceived either, when you are being tempted, realize it is not from God. Use discernment, wisdom, and God’s word to keep you on the right path. The enemy can attempt to do anything, so be alert.
Be careful not to fall in the trap of talking unhighly of others behind their backs. Honor one another. Don’t be critical of others. All it does is “puff” yourself up, and seperates you from those whom you are am talking bad about. Don’t talk highly of a person with them, and then turn around and talk crap about them to someone else. Not from God. And it is betraying Christ in the person.
We all fall short and can be deceived, and if you seem to have fallen short and have been deceived, instead of feeling guilty, come clean with God. Ask God to forgive you..repent and allow the Holy Spirit to minister to your heart.
Love,
T

Real short and to the point, don’t boast about yourself nor what you have achieved in life so far. Allow others to speak highly of you rather than you speak of yourself.
Often times we can boast about ourselves in order to impress others. We can boast so that we personally feel better than another person. We can simply boast in order to compare ourselves to the rest of the world. All is not good.
Society has a tendency to make us believe we need to “flaunt” ourselves and say to all we meet “look at me“. It is all over television, magazines, and simply in public settings. Just society can compel you to talk alot about you rather than just be under the radar.
The Bible has a different perspective on life. We are called to remain humble, not to boast and just live a quiet life. We are called to lay down our pride, self, ego, self worth at the foot of the cross.
We are called to do things unto the Lord, and if we are blessed with good things we are to give God the credit and the glory in what we receive. So different than Society and the World view of things.
So…the next time you find yourself “boasting” about things and people, stop yourself and don’t say a word. Instead if someone comes in to your path, find interest in what they have been doing, what God has been doing in there lives. Just be an example of Christ whom never boasted about himself just was busy doing the work he was called to do.
Give God the credit in all things, if people want to praise you for what you have been able to do. Let them do so. But remind them, that it was God who allowed the opportunity to take place. Always redirect people back to Christ. It is important.
So the next time you get puffed up..slow down, remember the hard times, the sad times, the trials you have gone through..remember in a blink of an eye what you have done will be over…so whatever you do…allow God to work through you.
I hope this makes sense…bottom line…keep your perspective on Christ..he is the giver of all good gifts, nothing of your own work. It is all about grace…unmerited favor.
Live in Peace and God’s grace, not in works..
Love,
T

Today, just believe in the impossible.
If God says in his Word, he will never leave you nor forsake you, believe God.
If God says in his Word, that you are an overcomer through Jesus Christ..believe God..that you are going to make it through.
If God says in his Word, you are more than a conqueror in Christ..believe that nothing can seperate you from the Love of God.
If God says in his Word, my plans for you are to prosper and succeed..believe that God is pathing the way for you…
If God’s word says...Believe..than Trust God…believe in the Impossible…for everything is possible for those who believe.
I believe in you…God does too..believe in God and yourself..and you will guided by God’s Holy Spirit on what God wants to fulfill in your life.
