Just like God has a vision for the Pastor you may know at a church in your area, He has a vision for you too. He knows the plans He has for you and He wants to reveal them to you. Choosing to come into agreement with God over your life and choosing His way is how you position yourself to understand those plans. As the plans are revealed, you build!!

To rebuild something is to build something again after it has been damaged or destroyed. How many times do we encounter situations in life that cause us to feel damaged or destroyed? Sometimes we need a reminder that those things that were lost or broken can be rebuilt again...our capacity for relationships, our desire to accomplish our dreams and goals, our ability to love, trust and try again can all be regained. It all starts with repentance, which is simply coming in agreement with God over the good and bad in our lives and choosing to take the path He desires for us!

Generosity is a principle. Being a good steward enables us to be generous, and wisdom affords us the ability to be good stewards. When we carry ourselves in this standard, we are compelled to be intentional with the items placed in our possession. It all stems from being willing to wait on the word from God to provide the direction, the wisdom and the instruction of a good steward.

Think back to last week and remember the success of Martha and Mary. As sisters, they had developed a home where there was power, presence and provision. I believe you have the ability to do the same. Today there are some simple steps I want to teach to help you give generously, create wealth and change the future of your family.

A mother's ability to restore through giving is immeasurable. Women hav the ability to not only receive and grow, but to nurture and restore. Every mother and every woman with the life-giving spirit of a mother, walks in an anointing that the enemy can not take away!

How does our generosity play part in God's restoration in our lives? When we sow, God decides to enrich our lives in areas many times we've forgotten all about, sometimes even dreams we've left behind and are no longer thinking about. We get caught up in thinking when we sow into the kingdom our harvest will look like what we've sewn. However, God is faithful and true in everything He does and because He knows the plans He has for our lives, the way He deposits into us and develops us is intentional. The next time you sow into the kingdom of God, watch how the Lord causes another area of your life to blossom!

Sometimes we do a thing for so long, and yes...we've learned from our environment. It goes well for us, or as well as we expect for a while, and something happens where our methods don't work for us anymore. Or maybe it's working but it's recognized that there is more, there is better. What happens when we get to that point? Usually, God steps in and leads us to His living waters. There is Something in the (living) Water of Christ that changes our perspectives, improves the results of our efforts, renews our minds, even the way we communicate changes! There is so much to explore...In The Water!

When we operate in the way of the world we operate in death. When our spirits are resurrected into new life there is more than just resurrection, there is restoration, reunion and a release. There is Restoration within ourselves and in our conversations with others, more life giving. We are Reunited with family and friends in a new way because your mind has been Renewed. We are able to Release old habits and routines that no longer suit this new life and new chance we've been given! Resurrection literally gives us new life!

Who do people say your life imitates? Who do YOU think your life imitates? We'd all like to think our lives imitate the people we admire to some degree, but have you considered if your life imitates God though? A good question that causes us to take a sober look at how we are really living our lives. When we decide to dig into this we'll learn whether we are truly imitating love or imitating lies, and begin to answer other questions like are we walking in any insecurities...can we be trusted...and are we givers or takers? These aren't flaws we easily accept looking in the mirror, but acknowledging them and choosing to change is a change in becoming more of a lover!

Resurrection is not just a historical event that birthed our faith, but is an epic event that declared to the devil "ANYTHING YOU KILL I CAN GIVE LIFE BACK TO!" He is the 'RE' God. He REstores, He REvives, He REnews, He REconfigures, He REbirths, He REsurrects. Jesus did not rise from the dead alone but he brought a community of dead folk back to life with Him.
