Dare to Make a Difference

Don't just exist, but dare to impact your world through Jesus Christ, and by the power of the Holy Spirit.. In order to succeed in life, you must learn to overcome the many efforts of others to pull you down. How you choose to respond to criticism will either make or brake you. Also don't allow yourself to become a critic and a fault finder. The same measure you put out, will be the same measure that will come back to you. Your assignments for God will require seasons of preparation. None of us are born qualified, we must become qualified. I believe you and I were destined to leave a mark in our world for the Glory of God.

Wisdom is the Principle Thing

Pov. 4:5 "Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth." Do not allow anything or anyone to deter you from daily sitting at the feet of Wisdom. Wisdom offers a life worth living. I believe your life will not change until you are willing to acknowledge that your decisions created your circumstances. It's choice not chance that determines destiny.

Seven Things That Equip for Ministry

Many times it's not what we do behind the pulpit or in church,  but is what we say and do outside the church that defeats us and gives Christians a bad name or reputation, marring our testimony for Jesus Christ. As Christians, we must be concerned about such things as our reputation ,our physical appearance, morality, ethics, etiquette or propriety, and temperament. These are needed to hold up the superstructure of a powerful ministry in the Holy Ghost, and to have the effectiveness to impact our world for Jesus Christ.

The Importance Of Fasting

"Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting."Matt 17:21. In other situations confession of sin, along with fasting, many times puts a stop to impending judgment. If you're in sin, your fasting is in vain. To fast is to humble your soul before God, and your fasting should be with the right motive and for the right reason.

Thinking The Thoughts Of God

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are yours ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heaven are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isa 55:8. God Almighty has man on his mind, twenty four-seven, man is not an after though. He is God's primary focus of attention. Our mind, if left to itself, will soon begin to drift away from thinking right thoughts. Learn to discipline your mind to think on the thoughts of God, which is the Word of God.

Blowing The Devil's Cover

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in heavenly places." Eph 6:12. It is a spirit on assignment against the whole human race, in particular the entire body of Christ.It's a spirit so deceiving, that for the most part no one even knows it's there, no one ever confronts him or drives him out. It is the spirit of laziness. It's robbing you of both God's best and life's best. God wants you to shake yourself, and drive out this spirit far from your life.

Studies on Brokenness

The condition of the human heart is the key to a man's success or failure. Without the born again experience the Bible says that the human heart is depraved , or capable of doing the unthinkable. An unbelieving heart is a heart that rejects revelation and refuses to be enlightened. Your daily decisions are the brick and mortar that God uses to build the structure and walls of your life.

Redeemed

"Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the (broken) law, being made a curse for us:" Gal 3:13. And so Jesus Christ paid a price for you and I, in order to free us from sin and sins consequences. Christ poured out His life as a sacrificial, substitutionary payment and thus we are redeemed. Now we have the right in Jesus name to stand   against sickness, disease,poverty, and lack. The umbrella of protection and the benefits and blessings became available to man through obedience to the covenant with God.

LIFE'S STORIES - LIFE'S LESSONS

Have you ever taken the time to look over the story of your life? I have found that it is a very necessary piece of our life's journey. I will be turning 58 years old this month and as I look over my life thus far I see that every life has a story and every story has a lesson. I must be honest in saying that there are parts of my story I do not like revisiting and there are lessons I would rather not have learned yet I can also declare that He does make all things beautiful in His time. I remember reading that scripture years ago and thinking there was no way He could make that beautiful....no way! As the process continued I one day found myself encouraging someone else in the area that I thought was going to devour me and I understood in that moment that yes He had made it beautiful. It was beautiful to sit and to tell the story of His faithfulness in my life to someone who felt they did not have the strength to take another breath. It was beautiful to encourage someone not to let go of the anchor of hope in Jesus as they sat telling me of their hopelessness. It is beautiful to sit and encourage someone who feels downcast and depressed and tell them that He is the glory and the lifter of their head and He will not forsake them. It is beautiful to hold someone's hand as they speak of their lonliness and to remind them of the verse in Psalm 23 that says, for Thou are with me. The story goes on of the lesson's I have learned and that I continue to learn in the stories of my life. It is my prayer that you will begin to look at your journey in the earth and see the chapters of your life as your story of lessons learned. If you feel you have not learned a lesson then begin today to open yourself up to the spirit of the living God who is our teacher, our comforter and our wonderful counselor. God wants to use your story and the lessons you learn in your life's journey to speak of His goodness to you in the land in which you live. The bible tells us to go and tell of the good things He has done and today I pray you will see your life as story of lessons learned that speak of His faithfulness of all generations. I LOVE YOU, Gale
