I AM PASTOR DEB

We Want To Hear From YOU!

Let’s get something straight right out the gate: God ain’t trying to burn you out. That’s the world’s job.

This culture will have you thinking that if you’re not up at 4 a.m. with a triple espresso, ten open tabs, and five side hustles—you’re lazy. That if you’re not grinding 24/7, you're wasting your potential.

But God doesn’t bless burnout. He blesses obedience.

See, hustle culture says: “You gotta make it happen!”
Harvest culture says: “Let God grow what you plant.”

In all fairness, if all that’s being considered is the religious system man has labeled Christianity, complete with politics, scandals, prideful preachers, and cultural add-ons, then yes, the perceived arrogance is understandable. Tolerable, even.

Why? Because all religions are man-made, they are fallible.  Religion as a whole often reflects more of us than they do of God, systems of hierarchy that oppress, rules that control, and rituals that elevate some while excluding others.  And if that’s all Christianity were, a man-made system like the rest, then it would have no right to claim exclusivity. But here’s the plot twist......

The same God who walked with Abraham, spoke to Moses, and strengthened David over 2,000 years ago is the same God present with you right now—and the only God who will exist beyond eternity. And let’s be honest, eternity is another concept we don’t keep in the forefront of our minds either.

As we embrace a new year… Our themes for this upcoming year are New Year, New Yes. With that thought in mind, I encourage you to ask yourself about your wishlist, and then be honest about how much of what you desire you can take into glory.

When I would not have been nominated for ministry - tearing up the nightclub...letting promiscuity lead, God was shaping my testimony.  He is not limited to the version of us everybody sees today or saw yesterday.  A FORWARD MOVE MESSAGE

Move forward—at all costs.
 Yes, the past happened. But it’s over.

• Yes, you made mistakes. But God’s grace is greater.
• Yes, people hurt you, and you’ve hurt people. But healing is available.
• Yes, doors closed. But better ones are opening.

Don’t waste time trying to relive or rewrite yesterday.

Put your faith in drive, your hope in gear, and let God’s Word be your GPS.

Because as brilliant and blessed as you are, you can’t walk forward and backward at the same time.

This morning I was to talk to you briefly about something so basic, something our mothers and grandmothers like taught us. But being adults, dealing with life, while life be lifing its really easy to stray away from the basics.

We Want To Hear From YOU!

Some of us keep returning to familiar people, methods, habits, environments, expectations, and ways of thinking simply because we know the route.

We don't necessarily choose them because they're best.

We choose them because they're familiar.

But familiar doesn't automatically mean fruitful.

The children of Israel struggled with this very thing.

After God delivered them from Egypt, there were moments when life in the wilderness became uncomfortable, and Egypt suddenly sounded good again.  Numbers 14:3–4 records them saying: “Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?” RETURN TO EGYPT?!

Egypt was where you were enslaved!  But that's what familiarity can do. Sometimes our path in life requires us to recalculate

Have you ever noticed something interesting about confidence?
 The moment someone stands firmly in who they are, whispers begin.

“Who do they think they are?”
 “She thinks she’s all that.”
 “He’s feeling himself a little too much.”

But the truth is, there is a difference between conceit and conviction.

Conceit says, “I made myself.”
 Conviction says, “God made me on purpose.”

One is pride.
 The other is revelation.

Alright, let me lovingly disrupt a popular slogan.

Everybody loves to say,
 “We’re all God’s children.”

It sounds warm.
 It sounds inclusive.
 It sounds like something you’d put on a coffee mug with a sunset behind it.

And some of you are already ready to say Amen—not because it’s biblical, but because we tend to think that being a child of God is automatic because He created us all, and on top of that, because He created us all with purpose.

All true, however, biblically speaking, we are not automatically God’s children. That may make some of you cringe, but it is absolutely Scripture.

God’s divine plan was never for humanity to be born into forced allegiance with Him
