The Unique View

I am learning that many take God's word for granted, they misconstrued, and ignore it until hardship happens. Many ignore the fact that God is a god of order and obedience. Turning our lives over to Christ and accepting Him means we turn away from the old fleshly nature and behaviors and walk upright. Many believe that unequally yoked is only related to marriage, it is not. Many only read a few scriptures on Sunday and dust collects during the week. Some do not take their Bible to church relying on the messanger. Just as we must eat daily food for physical nourishment, we also  must eat daily God's spiritual word to have a sustained life. We must die daily. We must decrease so that He can increase. Many are truly called but only a few will be chosen. God can use anyone but His word is clear about what He hates. What I do understand is that most care more about how humans will accept and treat them more than how God feels and what He says. Sad state of affairs. Not all that ...

Do you find yourself spinning out of control? Have you looked at where you are and wondered what happened? You are not alone. We set goals and create a multitude of to-do lists only accomplishing to cross out a few. We become discouraged and start to speak self defeating words into our spirit. Stop. You are right where you are supposed to be. Look at it as if you have been delayed for a time. I have felt stuck for a few months but today I have clarity. I am rejuvenated. I know my purpose because I know who I am and Who's I am. The Father knows best the plans for me and you. Nothing catches Him by surprise. So pick yourself up and keep moving forward. Stop beating yourself up over yesterday and celebrate in your today. You are a gift. Unwrap and marvel at the awesomeness of you. Be Blessed

Today I spent time in thought. I tossed around in my head and heart my purpose. Looking out over the waters of Chambers Bay in University Place, Washington pictured above, I walked for 2 miles starting at 6:45 AM and I spoke with God and I listened. I praised Him and thanked Him. I watched as the trees moved with the soft morning breeze. I listened to the birds sing their melodies. I heard Him and I felt peace. I know the plans I have for you, I heard Him. Trust Me, I heard Him. My grace is sufficient, I heard Him. Too often we busy ourselves with menial tasks that only take us away from the goal, the purpose, His purpose. We allow outside forces to push us down and we loose power.  We become frustrated and angry then we give up. Stop. Settle down and listen to the Master. The Manufacturer of who you are has it mapped out. Surrender your will to His and He will give you the desires of your heart, but you must first surrender. I know how you feel. Exhausted and burnt out...

In all of the countless conversations that I have with others, the verbal implication is defeat. Defeat due to finances. Defeat due to relationships. Defeat due to loss of employment. Defeat due to past unresolved situations. Defeat because of what someone said or did. Defeat. Defeat and more defeat. So many have accepted the trials they are facing as final walking around with negative attitudes saying, this is who I am. Talking in such a way that it can make many not want to deal with them and if mentioned, they say well if you don’t like it don’t talk to me. This is sad and depressing. Defeat. We do not have to live our lives this way. We do not have to allow the circumstances of life to form who we become negatively. We do not have to lie to ourselves and others that the way we act is who we are. We do however have the ability to live and speak positively.  Just like we choose what we will or will not eat, we also have the ability to choose the negative attitudes or positive. ...

Sin have consequences. You can not sin and be a Christian. One of my Sisters in Christ contacted me about this statement so I am going to clarify what this means. I never want to misdirect or misinterpret. I am a messenger and can only point you to Jesus and the Word. Study to show yourself approved. 1 Corinthians 6:9-20 NLT Don't you know that those who do wrong will have no share in the Kingdom of God? Don't fool yourselves. Those who indulge (practice) in sexual sin, who are idols worshipers, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexual, thieves, greedy people, drunkards, abusers, and swindlers - none of these will have a share in the Kingdom of God. Paul goes on to teach that those who have been washed, those that have turned away from sin, set themselves apart for God thus having a part in the Kingdom. Jesus taught this in Matthew 7:21-28  Galatians 5:19-26 also reminds us. I do encourage you to read the complete chapters. The clear point I want to make is yes, we ca...

Why are you concerned or afraid? Why is it that you are in the same spot of existence but still moving?  Your life's choices are the sum total of the choices you have made and you alone. Why question it? You question it because the direction you ended up in was not your intended destination. Have you forgotten that your steps are ordered? Have you forgotten that His ways are better than your ways? You question it but need not. Trust Him. Reach out to Him. His arms are wide open and inviting. The question is will you go if He sends you? Yes you. Why not you? You are a gift. Priceless. Unattainable. Free and flawless in His eyes. Don't question it. Just answer and go.
