1 John 2:1 says, “My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.” The enemy will use every tactic he has to block us from receiving what God has for us. He will have you believing that your sin is too dirty and you need to clean yourself up before coming to God. However, we cannot forgive ourselves. But we can come to God with a repentant heart and ask for His forgiveness. He loves us regardless of the mess that we put ourselves in and He has already forgiven us of our sins. So I ask you, what's blocking you from a relationship with God? What's keeping you from finding your flow?

Matthew: 7:21 says, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” God is not looking for fans, he's looking for followers. Society will tell you as long as your outside looks good then your inside doesn't matter. However God is not interested in the external costume you've created but the internal conviction of your heart. You can choose to pretend to have it together or submit to His will so that He can clean you up and put you together. You can choose to be a pretender or a playmaker. The choice is yours.

The Lord cast His seeds upon everyone. Even those who do not know Him because He sees your potential and knows your purpose. He has given you His word so that you may walk out this life with Him and will equip you to stand in the midst of the unknown. However, you must receive His word gladly and accept His son Jesus. Allow his word to penetrate your heart and receive the new life that awaits in Him. He’s waiting for you to make the choice. So the question now is, what kind of receiver are you?

When we face problems in our lives we become uncomfortable and expect God to show up and fix things the moment we call. Sometimes, however, God doesn't show up immediately because He has plans to show us something greater. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Just when we think there's nothing else to be done, He moves and revives a dead situation, making an old thing like new. God needs the old to die so that He can do a new thing in you. And if you wait patiently on Him and walk in faith, you will witness an outbreak of his glory like never before.

How we end one season of our lives is a direct reflection on how we start the next season God has for us. As we move from 2015 into 2016, we are declaring that this will be a year that flows. Life is better with flow, yet it becomes frustrating when our flow is interrupted. Foreign objects block flow. This year do not allow anything block our flow. Faith helps us to find our flow and obedience keeps the flow flowing. As you enter into this new season we are praying that you find your flow until you experience overflow...Let it Flow, Let it Flow!

Everyone has problems but they shouldn’t be life’s focus. Don't allow them to overtake your life and become bigger than God. Empty yourself out so that God may pour himself in as you pursue His presence. In His presence reflect on His faithfulness and you will gain perspective as you move through the pain. Psalm 62:8 says, “Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.” The enemy is always working overtime to distract you from what God has planned for you. However, God is always working behind the scenes to fulfill His purpose for you.

Before you ever gave anything to God He gave His son Jesus for you. Today the world wants blessings but doesn't want to give of themselves. Whether it be your time, talent, or treasure, God wants you to use what He has given you to bring glory to His name. Matthew 6:21 says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” People give to what they value. So ask yourself, what am I valuing the most and giving my life to?

The world today will have you believing that God should find you where you are. However God doesn't exist for us, but we exist to worship Him. Isaiah 55:6 says, “Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near.” You should seek Him no matter your circumstances and freely lift your hands to give him praise. You must submit your will to His and know that while the situation may not be good, He is working it for your good. Because He lives in your worship it is a weapon against the enemy. Believe that in your praise lies victory because you win with worship.

The foundation of a blessed life is based on obedience to God. You must learn to give what God says give and take what He is trying to give to you. It starts with your heart and believing that God is faithful to what He declares. Be true to who He has called you to be and take what He has given to you and give it to others. Put God first and honor Him in all that you do because the blessed life begins with obedience.

Malachi 3:10 says, “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.” Many people believe that the tithe is all about money. However, God isn't after your money, He's after your heart. He wants to know that you trust Him enough to put Him first even in your tough times. He wants to know if He can trust you to be a good steward over what He's already blessed you with. So review your life and renew your mindset. Give God your very best, and walk in faith believing that He has already provided for your every need. He will honor your obedience.
