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,

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.

Real simple message today…just Love.

Love the way God intended for us all to love. Love unconditionally.

The only way you are truly going to be able to Love others is to have Christ as your Personal Savior. Once you have accepted Christ in your heart, asked for forgiveness and repented of your ways…the Holy Spirit comes into your life to guide you in the ways of the Lord and how to truly love.

When Love directs your path…nothing is impossible, for God is love..and God makes everything possible.

Love conquers all. Love never fails. Love casts out all fears for there is no fear in God’s perfect love.

So…today make the decision to re-committ your life to Christ. Reqlinquish any control, selfish desires, and sins to God. Surrender your life to God..and let God’s spirit have complete control of your entire life.

And then..watch as God just takes over…and loves through you.

Love,

T

spiritualretreatsDear God,

Thank you for being so Omni-present in our lives. Thank you that if we simply seek you with all our hearts, minds, and souls we shall find you. I praise you for being so powerful yet so gentle at the same time. You are an awesome God.

I ask Lord on this Saturday, that you reveal yourself in a very special way to every person who I have made contact with. Whether it is through this blog post, Facebook, twitter, someone I have met out in the community, or someone I am in relations with, I ask God you give them an amazing supernatural encounter with you.

So many people question if you really exist and that your are with them. So many people hunger to know that you are available to them. So God I ask that you speak to every heart, and every mind that I have been in contact with. Open their eyes and hears to you Lord Jesus.

May you make yourself known the way you made yourself known to all that we have read about in the Bible. May all come to know you as their personal savior.

Guide and Lead them all on in your ways..in your love..and just fill them with your Peace.

I thank you in advance for what you are going to do in each person’s life that I have had the honor to cross pathes with. May the seeds be planted in every heart..and in your time..grow their faith and love in you.

I leave them all in your hands..in your care..keep them close to you..may they not get distracted with life..get their attention and keep their attention today…

Love,

T

boat on the waterToday, I want you to be alert and attentive to the promptings of the Spirit and be able to discern the promptings of the Flesh.

Just focus on being filled with the Holy Spirit, being consumed with God and God’s will. Saturate yourself in the Lord’s grace, mercy and love. Fill your mind, heart, and soul with God. Allow Christ to have full reign in you. Allow Christ to be an all consuming fire burning in you.

In addition, use discernment on how the enemy, Satan, attempts to lure you away from the Truth, and to try and pull you into walking in the flesh. Just be alert..see how thoughts, feelings, words, and actions come forward that you know are not from God, but from the sinful nature.

confused___by_mushy_peaRemember that greater is he that is in you than is in the world. Confront sin head on. Don’t let the devil have any room in your earthly body. Give you body, mind, soul to the Lord and be filled with the Spirit and you will not gratify the things of the flesh.

In addition, do not condemn another person who is walking in the flesh, instead pray for them and confront them in love.

Never judge others, allow Christ to do that, you instead allow Christ to reveal to you when you are walking in the Spirit or when you are gratifying the Flesh.

Renew your mind daily, via Romans 12:1  and always, daily put on the full Armor of God, Ephesians 6.

Love,

T

Lord I love you with all my heart, soul, and mind. I pray Lord that all who read this post are filled with your Love. Just fill them to over flowing with your presence. May they be in awe of you. May they have a personal Love encounter with you today.

Lord speak to each person’s heart, soul, and mind through out the day. Tell them about what matters and what counts. Share with them your will for their lives. Guide their steps so that each step they take draws them closer to you.

crossLord, I praise you for your gift of Love you demonstrated through your son, Jesus. I pray that each of us never takes for granted the gift of salvation by the death of your son. May we be reminded that you paid the price for all our sins on the cross. Thank you for giving your life so that we can have eternal life. May all come to know of your saving Grace and Mercy through the Cross.

Lord, thank you for your Holy Spirit. Our counselor, guide, and helper to show us how to live a life that is filled with you in it. Thank you for your Holy Spirit that teaches us all things. Thank you for your Holy Spirit that opens our hearts, minds, and eyes to your ways. Thank you so much for your Holy Spirit that makes your Holy word come alive.

extreme sunsetLord, live through each of us. May we die to the self, take up your cross, and simply follow you. May we allow you to live through us so that your Kingdom can be preached through us. May we bear witness of you Lord Jesus.

Thank you for everything, and may we exemplify you in all our ways, and may we love our neighbors as ourselves. May we love through you and not of our own agenda.

I pray all these things in Jesus name,

Love,
