Free yourself to be free

The bible says that "Whom the Son has set free is free indeed".  Do you see the emphasis on free.  Not only free, but free for sure, free for certain, abundantly free, doubly free, so free.  There is such emphasis on "free".  Why do you think God had to tell us this.  He wants us to live this truth out.  He wants us to grab hold of this truth and run with it.  If you have been saved and washed in the blood Jesus Christ than you are "free".  God is saying you are surely free.  Free to go, free to fly.  Why aren't we going?  Why aren't we flying?  How many people have felt sorry for an animal that has been wounded and then when they are all healed and you open the cage for them to go free, they just sit there.  Or when an animal has been in captivity so long, when they are set free, they don't go free.  There are even prisoners who have been in jail so long, that when they finally have an opportunity to be free, they would rather stay in prison,

Your "love walk", get your joy back!!!

When I got saved, I really experienced Romans 5:5 Romans 5:5 New King James Version (NKJV) 5  Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us But adversity entered in and pain, hurt, and just the business of life.  I got away from my first love.  God is truly my first love and their was a love poured out in my heart to give to others when I had God as my first love.  But I got away from that.  It has remained in my heart, but I have not acted on it.  I have not made time for it.  Which means I have not made time for the people that it is suppose to be directed towards.  This "love walk" has really been on my mind.  Am I really loving people?  I made a decision last night, that I'm getting back to the "love walk" God gave me in the beginning.  Sure, I was a baby in Christ.  Sure I was prideful because I was a new Christian.  But with all that I was on fire for Him and it caus

Bondage, stands out like a sore thumb

God is showing me some things about bondage in our lives and I just had to get it out today.  This blog is such a learning platform for me, because it is the place where God chooses to pour into me.  This week I realized there is an area of my life where I have some serious bondage.  It has to do with my children.  I do a lot of "good" things with my children.  But I do it from a posture of anxiety, worry, and even fear.  These things can take "good" things and turn them into "bad" things.  I know I do not stand alone and that there are many parents operating in fear when it comes to certain areas of their child's life.  But I want to stay focused on my journey right now, it might help somebody else.  God showed me some severe bondage in an area concerning my children, but He also showed me how anointed I am in that very same area.  Do you realize that the areas of the most severe bondage in your life is also the areas where you are greatly anointed.

The heart, morore than just an organ...........

Today my devotional was John 14:27: My peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.  Let not your heart be troubled. Neither let it be afraid. This is what Jesus said to His disciples and He says it to the Body of Christ today.  In dissecting this scripture it tells me that my heart might try to be troubled, that there is a temptation to be afraid.  But He gives a direct commandment here, not to let your heart go there.  When you feel your heart tip toeing towards being troubled and afraid, reel it on in.  There is absolutely not reason for you to be troubled or afraid, not because you don't have trouble in your life, not because you don't have adversity and trials going on right now, simply because Jesus said so.  If Jesus said "let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid".  Then Jesus is saying there is absolutely no reason on the face of this earth that you should allow yourself to become troubled or afra

What soothes your heart, pay close attention

We live in a culture where we rarely pay attention to our hearts cry or the hearts cry of others  We can't hear it over the T.V., radio, social media websites, and all the things we burden ourselves down with on a daily basis.  Ever so often we get a taste of something and it provides a soothing in our hearts.  This comes in the form of many things.  A word from God, spending time with a friend, having a clean kitchen,  hosting people at your house, beautiful smelling perfume, spending time horseback riding, playing fetch with your dog, hanging out with your kids, going to the movies with your husband.  The specific things that provide a soothing balm to your heart, are signs.  They are signs that represent the life that God has called you to live.  Many of us are not paying attention, we are just running and running, busy and busy.  I use myself as an example on this blog, hoping that my journey helps someone else.  God has called me to a ministry to women in my home.  He has ca

It takes time, start setting up now

The other day, God laid something on my heart: "Things take time, start setting up now for what you want to do" I'm 36 years old and I have said for years, God has a blueprint stuck to my heart of what my life is suppose to look like.  From the largest details to the smallest details.  It's time for me to start doing everything according to that "blueprint".  Many of us have the same thing on the inside of us.  But we rarely line up how we go about life according to the blueprint God has laid on our hearts.  Rarely, do we make decisions according to that.  It comes a time where God is ready to birth that life that He promised you long ago.  When that time comes, you must prepare.  You must take everything in your life and line it up with what's on your heart and if it doesn't line up, it's got to go!  Everything has got to start to line up with what God has called  you to.  Now, some people hear the word "called" and they automatical

Who do you work for???

I am so excited, because God just gave me a revelation about a scripture today that freed me from some bondage. Alleluia!!!  I was chatting with someone today about how sometimes when I sit down to spend time with God in the morning, I feel pulled and distracted by all the things I have to do that day.  How I feel a little conflicted at times with my daily responsibilities in addition with all God is calling me to at this time in my life.  Well, one of the things she said to me was do things as if doing them for Him.  Right before that she said to ask God to help me with my responsibilities.  The wording that this women used, it's like God shined a light on this scripture in a way I had never seen before:  Colossians 3:23 New Living Translation (NLT) 23  Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. When I use to read this scripture it was in the context of "if I viewed certain tasks as if as I was doing it for Go

Do what you have to do

Get in the spirit this morning.  The bible says walk by the spirit and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.  If you don't feel the spirit, find a way to touch the Holy Spirit find a way this morning to connect with God's Holy Spirit within you.  Put on your worship music.  Whatever is going to move the Holy Spirit within you, seek it out first thing in the morning.  The bible says "seek ye first the kingdom of God" .  The bible says the He is the God who answers by fire.  God is a consuming fire.  Touch the fire of God this morning and it will consume you, it will set you on fire for Him.  Do what you gotta to set the fire ablaze.  Jesus came that we may have life and have it more abundantly!  But you need the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit will guide you right into the abundant life.
