Trust..Honesty..Transparency...

Be very careful what you allow yourself to hear because it will have an effect on your future. What you mentally process will either have a positive or a negative influence on you. The people around you are the most likely to influence you unless your influence is stronger!!
Can you trust the ones close to you? This question has to be answered because if they are close to you, you hear their voice! You feel their Spirit so you are exposed to their influence!! Do you need to hear their voice?
Do you need to be exposed to their Spirit? Can they be trusted? A question that has to be answered in our relationships in order for us to move forward!

"Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. But Jesus DID NOT COMMIT himself unto them, because he knew all men,"
‭‭(John‬ ‭2:23-24‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

Rocks anyone?

"So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, HE THAT IS WITHOUT SIN among you, let him CAST THE FIRST STONE at her."
‭‭(John‬ ‭8:7‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

Drop your rocks and walk away!!! If you have rocks in your hands to throw at someone then there is no room for God to put His Blessing in your hands!! You will need a Blessing, not rocks, in your hands to Bless your children, your family, your friends, etc.... What had you rather do judge and destroy someone or be a BLESSING TO OTHERS? You can't have it both ways!!!

God wins.....

Good overpowers evil...
Romans 12:31
Love overpowers hate...
1 Cor 13:8
Spirit overpowers flesh...
Galatians 5:16
Truth overpowers lies...
Ephesians 4:25
Integrity overpowers hypocrisy...
Romans 13:13
Peace overpowers chaos...
Romans 15:13

Basically I have Victory and Peace if I walk in these Truths, I get them from scripture!! Give God's Word a chance to work in your life!! But you will need to read it first, not someone's idea of what it says, but read it for yourself!!

"And ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and the truth shall make you free." (John‬ ‭8:32‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

Sometime.....

I feel that everything is falling apart and I could have made a better choice or not...

I feel the weight of my family and especially my grandchildren because I'm concerned if I'm putting enough in them to take them the distance...

I feel the pressure of my daily life like the weight of a mountain sitting on me....

I feel that my tears are putting tracks in my face that will just get deeper as time goes by....

I feel that today is still yesterday and tomorrow is already here but where did today go.....

I feel that I'm strange because I like the night better than the day... I wonder if it's because I can see His light brighter in the darkness and it's because I can hear His Voice clearer because there are not as many distractions in my darkness....

Sometime I just feel He is as close as my skin, so I just sit as still as possible, I weep, I question nothing, I pray for those that the Holy Spirit brings to my Spirit then I sit worshipping and I wait.... I can't see to read because of tears so I just hold my Bible.....

Sometime......

"Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I SIT IN DARKNESS, the Lord shall be a light unto me." (Micah‬ ‭7:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

Phony

A "phony"is more worried about your sin than theirs because your sin is the worst sin in the history of earth!"

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" ‭‭(Romans‬ ‭3:23 KJV). #IBelieve #IRecieve

"It is what it is"

You can cause darkness in all the earth but God will speak four words and completely change the atmosphere. "Let there be light" (Genesis 1)

You can throw Joseph in a pit, falsely accuse him of wrong and put him in prison but he will become the Prince of Egypt anyway!! (Genesis 39-)

You can overlook, ostracize and oppress David but he will still win every battle he fights and become King of Israel in spite of it all. (1&2 Samuel)

You can put the three Hebrew boys into the fiery furnace but at the end of the day they won't even smell like smoke much less burn!! (Daniel 3)

You can throw Daniel into a den of lions, but he will sleep just as well with the lions as without them.
(Daniel 6)

You can nail Jesus to a cross, put Him in a tomb but He will walk out under his own power, then forgive the people who nailed Him to the Cross. (4 Gospels)

You can lock Peter in prison but the Angel of The Lord will go into jailbreak mode and release him. (Acts 12)

You can cast Paul and Silas into jail but God will shake it down to release them, then save the jailer in the process!! (Acts 16)

There is no valley too deep, no mountain too high, no night too dark, no day to long that God's Grace cannot handle!! IT IS WHAT IT IS ......

"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." (2 Corinthians 12:9 KJV) #IBelieve

"Today"

Today is the first day of the rest of our lives, let's make it count!!

"(For he saith, I have heard thee in a TIME accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted TIME behold, now is the day of salvation.)"(2Corinthians 6:2)

Today is the first day of the rest of my life!!!! The word "Salvation" references our eternal salvation in its root but it blossoms from there; It also means healing from sickness, deliverance from bondage, hopelessness to hope, etc.... It also means that we have been given by God Himself, an assured and gracious welcome into His "world without end"!!! All that is His, is ours, so today I believe and receive all that God has for me in my future. TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY IN THE REST OF MY LIFE. Walk with me, it's better we don't walk alone!!!
