We Want To Hear From YOU!

We need to put more emphasis on being grateful for our now and not be so consumed with longing for what's next.  We are so consumed bigger, better, and more that we neglect to praise God in our now.

We Want To Hear From YOU!

Embrace your uniqueness. Whether it’s in your style, values, or choices, own who God created you to be. You were designed for more than just keeping up with the trends.

Because at the end of the day, true style isn’t found in what’s trending—it’s found in the authenticity of who you are in Christ.

So go ahead, dare to be different.  Walk like you know trendy ain’t timeless. Rock your God-given uniqueness—whatever that may look like.

We Want To Hear From YOU!

When we set our minds on being more anxious to find the jewel of truth, our minds are renewed, and we become committed to testing, weighing things out, replacing anger with the act of analyzing, and exalting discernment, which is the utilization of godly principles to determine our actions and reactions.

We have to become more anxious to find the jewel of truth so that Team Satan doesn’t use our offenses to devour us.

We spend so much time trying to set our children up with:

• good schools
• good clothes
• good connections

…and all of that is fine. Necessary even.

But if they have everything and don’t know God…
we didn’t set them up—we set them loose.

Because life will eventually ask questions
 that money can’t answer. 

What are we passing down?

Because whether we realize it or not—
 we are all leaving an inheritance to our children

The question is:

Will it guide them… or leave them guessing?
Will it ground them… or just decorate their lives?

Today, honor the ones who introduced you to God.

Introduce your children.
 Introduce your family.
 Introduce your circle.

Because the greatest thing you can ever say is not:

“I left them something…”

…but:

“I introduced them to Someone, The One who will never leave.

Pain doesn’t have to be your forever place — God can reroute your path.

 You can be born in it and still refuse to live in it.

See, Jabez didn’t let his mother’s experience become his identity.
 He took the label of pain and turned it into prayer.

 That’s the kind of spiritual maturity that makes Heaven stop scrolling and say,
 “Now this one gets it.”

Jabez, didn’t come from royalty, wealth, or fame. He came from a label that should’ve limited him — but instead, it launched him.

One short prayer turned a painful past into a powerful future.
 And if you’ve ever felt like life tagged you with something unfair, this story is your reminder that your beginning doesn’t get to boss your ending.

I don’t think many of us have ever taken the time to think about how truly powerful our minds are.  Did you know the  human brain is so powerful that some intelligent computers called neural networks are patterned after how the human brain works.

For every thought you have, a surge of electrical currents from your brain release an unknown number of neuro-chemicals, responsible for the operation of your nervous system. 

With every thought and with every electrical current in your brain, your body responds like a world-class conductor leading a famous orchestra, with everything working in unison with your heart, every organ,  and every muscle performing their role with precision.

Your brain is the control center of your very being.  Did you know concentrating on pain that occurs in your body sends electrical currents through your brand that continues producing pain.

If you focus on negativity, your brain will begin to operate dissecting everything from a negative perspective.  We all know at least one person in our lives who seems to always have a negative perspective on everything, and it's because they have flipped their brain switch to filter everything that enters their brand through a filter of negativity.

On the other hand we sometimes struggle with breaking our norms, embracing new perspectives or learning something new that upsets what we have programmed in our brainiac computers. The reason why is because learning something new requires considerable energy and our undivided attention.

Energy and attention have been programmed to allow the world to manipulate and formulate. So we don’t vet situations, our actions and reactions, or our attitudes to align with the will of God because that would require our brain, our very being to embrace something unfamiliar, to flip the switch.

As believers we are charged to vet, to examine, to align everything we do, everything we engage in and everything that is put before us using the Word of God as our measuring rod.

This is referred to as using spiritual discernment.The word discern means “to distinguish, to separate out by diligent search, to examine.” 

Spiritual discernment is the ability to properly distinguish or make determinations based on NOT our spirit but  the spirit of God. Spiritual discernment is  related to wisdom. My grandmother used to refer to it as a combination of common sense and the Holy Spirit.

From the beginning, everything God created was connected.

• Light touches darkness
• Water feeds the earth
• Trees sustain lungs they’ll never meet

And then there’s you.

You thought you were just living life…
 God says you’re impacting lives.

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” — Matthew 5:14

Notice—He didn’t say “try to be light.”
 He said you are.

That means when you declared, “I believe in God,”
 you didn’t just claim faith…
 you stepped into function.

 Emotions are beautiful… until they start running the show.  God gave us emotions, but He never gave them the position of authority.

Before we act like emotions are the enemy, let’s remember something:
 God Himself expresses emotion.

• Jesus wept (John 11:35)
• Jesus felt compassion for the crowd (Matthew 9:36)
• God expresses righteous anger (Psalm 7:11)

So no—feeling deeply is not your flaw.
 It’s evidence you were made in His image.

Emotions are the alert system of the soul.
 They let you know something matters.

Joy says, “This is good.”
 Grief says, “This was valuable.”
 Anger says, “Something is out of order.”

That’s the gift.

I may be telling my age but anybody out there remembers The Flip Wilson Show, he had a saying  “The devil made me do it!”. 

It seems it is always easier to blame someone else for our wrongs, for being irresponsible, for even being greedy and unkind to one another.  We blame fast-food restaurants for making us fat. We blame tobacco companies for giving us cancer. We blame the church for our lack of spiritual growth.  We blame other people’s ways for our attitude.

We live in a culture where blaming others for our failures is popular. But how does God view the blame game? 

Could it be a form of idolatry where our feelings of pride are elevated above any sense of responsibility?

We expect blame-shifting from a child, good parents stress to their children not to blame others for their actions, because we want them to know that they are the ultimate controller of their actions and reactions.

You all remember the question our mothers asked when we tried to shift the blame on someone else for us following up with foolishness.  “If your friend jumps off the bridge are you going to jump too?  We would drop our heads with a pitiful “no”.  And  I know my mother’s response was.  “then don’t tell me about so and so, I want to know why you did what you know was wrong”.

Sadly, the evidence is in, we failed in learning that lesson from our mothers because so many adults never grow to mental and emotional maturity and still blame others for their mistakes”

It is a generational curse that goes back to the beginning of man, yes blaming others is an inherited sin.  Adam, Eve, Aaron Moses, and King Saul  all have suffered from the plague of blaming others

They all blamed someone else for their sin and never took personal responsibility for their action. 

Let's see. When sin made its entrance and God confronted Adam (Genesis 3:12-13), Adam replied, "The woman you put here with me - she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it." And in her defense Eve replied, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the serpent.  

The verdict proclaimed by humanity was that everything that went wrong in the Garden of Eden was someone else's fault.

Before you lace up and run headfirst into today, pause.

Let me remind you of something wild and wonderful:
 You’re built like a cheetah.
 Not in stripes or spots, but in purpose, precision, and power that knows its limit.

You see, the cheetah is the fastest land animal alive. It doesn’t run just because it can, it runs when purpose says “now.”
 It doesn’t chase every rabbit, every rustle, or every rumor in the grass.
 It waits. It watches. It paces itself.
