DON'T QUIT - GOD IS NOT THROUGH WITH YOU



Discouragement is another way for the thief to come in and steal our goods. Perhaps you have awakened today and felt just as bad as you did yesterday. And in a moment of weary resignation and discouragement, you cried out and released fear from within your heart. “He’s finished with me here. I give up.” Well I feel the anointing of the Lord to speak into your life to tell you right now you will not fail, and I have some witnesses to prove it: Look at Samson, Moses, and David just to name a few! It’s time you pick up where you left off!  Restart your worship, reclaim your destiny! Start again!!

Scripture Reading: Psalm 34:18–19, the psalmist assures us God is ever so near to the brokenhearted, and saves those with a contrite or crushed spirit.

Don’t allow the words “I can’t do it.  Oh, this will never work. I wish I had never agreed to do this thing”, to get into your spirit when you are faced with something new. Think of your first fumbling attempts to ride a bicycle, to glide on ice skates, or to play basketball.  It was hard at first but you didn’t give up.  I know our ineptness seems staggering and overshadowing at times, but God sees the big picture. He knows that all we need is a God’s-eye view of the situation.

Are you fumbling, falling, stumbling, or missing the mark somewhere in your life at the moment? Are you ready to quit an assignment God gave you? You’d better not. God says, He’s not through with you. Who told you to quit?  Worship Him!!!!

If you want to be reminded of the Lord’s power and mercy, think back to the place where He performed a miracle in your life or where you witnessed a miracle. You didn’t think you were going to make it, but you did.  God has not changed!  If He did it once, He will do it again!

Don’t say it’s over until God says so.   Never, ever forget that you are not in this thing alone. God is with you every step of the way, whether you “feel” Him or not.  Be determined to stay right there with Him until He blesses you.  

I don’t know you about you, but feel the joy of His presence, and I’m just gonna praise Him in advance for what He is doing!

As long as God is alive keep on dreaming, believing, climbing, overcoming, and getting back up. Those same failures and fumbles will be the stumbling blocks that lead to your victory.

So you see, God is not through with you, you can’t quit!  

Galatians 6:9 So let's not get tired of doing what is good.  At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up.

JUST BREATHE


 FROM DEVOTIONAL "WHERE PEACEFUL WATERS FLOW"


Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. 


It’s 3 am you can't sleep, and you look to Me, and you ask and wonder why?  What’s going on?  What’s the reason I am going through all this?  I say to you to 'breathe, stop, and - JUST breathe.

I realize the enemy has fought you, and you feel like you're beginning to sink. You know he has no power, but still it affects you.  I say to you to 'breathe - JUST breathe'

You're with Me and there is no way any of his tactics will stop you.  You will go on; you will push through, and you will be successful. And when he thinks he has you, at that very moment I shall show up on the scene, and he shall be caught in a whirlwind of confusion.  The very thing he thought would take you down, shall take him out, and raise you up.  I say to you to 'breathe - JUST breathe!

I have called you to be a leader, and you're in with Me all the way.  The word 'failure' should not be in your spirit; you don’t have time to quit.  All you have to do is stand strong on My word, hold on and just 'breathe - JUST breathe!!

I say to you to breathe, just breathe!!  Breathe, just breathe.


My Prayer Confession,

Heavenly Father, Yes, Lord I’m just breathing.  Breathing in the sweet aroma of Your holy presence.  Father, Oh thank You Jesus, I’m just going to breathe, and rest in Your presence.

IT'S YOUR MOVE




Do not be passive or procrastinate any longer.  Now is not the time for complacency to be in your life. It is a time to be aggressive and to lay hold of those things that I have put within you to do.  Cast aside any thoughts of anxiety you have had which have been hindering your progress with Me.

Don't let the enemy or your flesh get in the way of fulfilling the awesome ideas you have. The dreams and desires within you have been placed there by Me.  And it’s time for you to be a doer of My word, and do the things I have shown you.  Remove all notions of "what if", or "if only,." that linger in your mind. If there is a lack of understanding in an area of your life, ask Me for wisdom and I will give it to you.

WHEN I LOOK AT YOU




Lately, you have been so hard on yourself, and there is no reason for that.  I know you’ve made mistakes, but I don’t want you to live with those mistakes.  That is not the life I have chosen for you. I want you to stop for a moment and see yourself as I do.  Stop worrying about the reflection you see in the mirror, that does not reflect the beautiful person I see. It’s My desire for you to move beyond what you perceive to be disappointments and past failures.  Remember what I once told you, “There is no life in the past”. It’s time you move out of that life of mistakes, and enter into the blessed life that I have ordained for you.

My child, when I look at you I  don’t see a person who has made so many mistakes that they can’t be forgiven. No, I see the person I created you to be.  I see the person who believes My promises are yes, and amen. You can’t see that because you are still worrying about your past. I want you to see and believe who I say you are.  In case you have forgotten let Me remind you of who you are. You are awe-inspiring, you are magnificent, you beautiful, and you are so blessed.  You are one of My vessels that I chose to reveal My glory in and through.

So starting today, let go of the past, forgive yourself and  remember this conversation. Then the next time you look in your mirror you will be reminded of  My mirror, and you will see what I see when I look at you.

2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.

STOP GIVING AWAY MY PRAISE!!




** The Lord gave me this word yesterday as I was driving to church, and said to share it with My people.  I had no idea that the He was going to make a way for me to deliver this word to the church that I was visiting.***

Hear what the Lord has to say:

I am a jealous God, please stop giving away My praise.  Every time you complain about your problems, vent your frustration over what you don’t have and what you are going through, you take away from the praise you should be giving Me.  My word says to give thanks always for all things. Yes, you are to praise Me while you are going through your trials and tribulations
