Let Go!

It’s total chaos, detrimental to your health, and can be painful at times; yet you still do it anyway. We do it because it’s familiar~ not necessarily comfortable. We get out of our comfort zone; we become frustrated, angry (for no reason), argumentative, and resentful ~ even though it can be disastrous to our life.
Abraham and Sarah were comfortable and familiar with their country, their family, and their home. As the scripture below says, it was to Abraham’s advantage to leave what was familiar and comfortable to him; and God will bless him with abundant increase and favor and make Abraham’s name famous.


Now [in Haran] the Lord said to Abram, Go for yourself [for your own advantage] away from your country, from your relatives and your father’s house, to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others]. And I will bless those who bless you [who confer prosperity or happiness upon you] and [a]curse him who curses or uses insolent language toward you; in you will all the families and kindred of the earth be blessed [and by you they will bless themselves]. So Abram departed, as the Lord had directed him; and Lot [his nephew] went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran. Genesis 12:1-4 AMP
How many of us would be willing to leave everything we are comfortable with and familiar with and go to an unfamiliar place as well as leave all of those we love behind? Many of us probably would not; however, Abraham and Sarah obeyed. God knew that in order to bless Abraham, he needed to get away from his family, who were negatively influencing him and causing chaos and confusion in his life.
[Urged on] by faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and went forth to a place which he was destined to receive as an inheritance; and he went, although he did not know or trouble his mind about where he was to go. Hebrews 11:8 AMP

Being obedient to Christ is not always comfortable or familiar. Whereas, God will not ask us to do anything that will harm us or hinder us from living. However, many of us resist his promptings. God is more concerned about our character than He is our comfort (a true Christian friend told me). So when we obey, he will bless us (in His timing) with abundance and favor; but not the abundance we as earthly humans are thinking (abundance in wisdom [which surpasses money] knowledge of the word, health in the body, true friendships, building character, and joy, just to name a few).  Believe in Him and in His unconditional love for us and see how your life is transformed from darkness to light!
Food for thought – He will bless us with money when we are ready to handle it. And when we are blessed with money, we are to be a blessing to others.

ALL Things Become NEW!

Every "New Year" brings new things, but we must transform our minds and hearts to let go of the old and embrace the new. Once a door is closed in the spirit, it cannot be opened, yet we hold on to the past that keeps our minds trapped to something that is debilitating rather than enlightening. Thoughts and words have power, and scripture tells us in Proverbs 18:21, "Death and Life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." It has been studied that words of encouragement brings confidence in a person, good mental health, they believe in themselves to do well in life, they have better physical health, are more resilient, have good coping methods, know they are loved,  and have a calm spirit. Negative words are harsh and cause anger in a person, stress, they lose confidence and self-worth, they give up and feel there is no hope for them in anything they do, and no one loves them; in addition they are prone to depression and a...

A Lost Service?

There are so many things lacking in our lives today and the only thing that is going to fill that void is serving Yahweh and serving others. Volunteering and serving others and Yahweh (which he called himself [a servant]) breaks that spirit of selfishness, self gratification, and self destruction.   Teens volunteering which builds character and great leaders  Scripture reads in Proverbs 16:27 Ethiopian Bible: 27  An ungodly man digs up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire. Which translates a ungodly man looks for trouble and manipulates others to do unlawful    acts. Many have heard this verse as, “Idle hands is the devil’s workshop.” Hands represent honest work in the Bible, or doing what is right in the eyes of Yahweh and man. The Bible also speaks of unclean hands that do bad things or are works of the devil. If you are sitting around in your feelings, get out and volunteer, help someone, serve at a food pantry, start a neighborhood garden; someth...

Let the "Light" Shine

Early Parchment of The Constitution Early American Settlers We are dealing with devils in the leadership in America and here’s the hypocrisy of it all, ALL of them that has been in office from the beginning of America’s birth, have overlooked lynching, starvation, terrorism of the Klu Klux Klan (KKK), lying, hate, sexual impurity, killing defenseless woman and children, just deep oppression - and want to say America was founded on Biblical foundations. Now whose Bible or whose Yahweh is this that promotes violence, evil, hate, and injustice? Yahweh gave Moses laws, instructions and promises to give to the people to live by and many call it the Ten Commandments, which Yahweh gave Moses hundreds of laws and there is no place, I have read, that this is the ten commandments.  What I read is that Yahweh gave them unto the people so that they will not sin and fear Him and obey His Commandments with favor, which is life, in the land. But this is just the beginning of the laws Yahweh gave ...
