A Student

I've learned many concepts in college, but none quite as effective as Faith. I do agree that one has to follow their own course, but as a Student I've learned that some pick up on instruction faster than others, some pick up on application faster than others, and some just don't get it.

But the Teacher never looses his understanding or application.

 
James 1:22 Do what God's word says. Don't merely listen to it, or you will fool yourselves.

Be Well in Jesus Name!

TRUE SISTERHOOD

Philippians 2 1-5
1. If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2. then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. 3. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:

AS WOMEN WE ARE UNIQUELY DESIGNED IN SUCH A WAY THAT ONE CAN BE HURT, AND STILL LOVE, STILL HOPE, STILL PROTECT. BUT WE ARE FLAWED BECAUSE WE OFTEN HOLD OTHERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE WOUNDS THAT ARE STILL TENDER TO THE TOUCH.

WE ALL HAVE GONE TO BED WITH A BROKEN HEART, BUT GRACE ACCOMMODATED.

I FIND COMFORT IN KNOWING THAT EVERYTHING HAS A SEASON IN LIFE, A SEASON OF PLANTING, A SEASON OF TAKING ROOT, GROWING AND HARVESTING. 

OFTEN, WHEN WE SEE NOTHING PRODUCING IN OUR LIVES WE ARE GOING THROUGH A BARREN SEASON, WHICH MEANS WE ARE NOT PREPARED IN MIND OR CIRCUMSTANCE TO RECEIVE WHAT GOD WANTS TO BRING FORTH.

BUT AS WE CONTINUE ON OUR JOURNEY LET ENCOURAGEMENT, NOT JEALOUSY BE DEMONSTRATED, SO LIFE CAN SPRING FORTH.

DECLARE: THAT YOU WILL NOT TEAR DOWN YOUR SISTERS WITH WORDS FROM YOUR MOUTH, BUT UPLIFT THEM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.

 AND PRAY THAT THEY ARE DOING THE SAME FOR ME.

WE HAVE TO HEAL IN ORDER TO MAKE OUR PARTNERSHIP THAT MUCH STRONGER, THAT MUCH DURABLE TO RECEIVE SUCH A BREAK THROUGH SPIRITUALLY.

LET CHRIST BE OUR BEACON OUT OF THE DARK PLACES.

REPEAT: I AM MY SISTER'S KEEPER THROUGH AND THROUGH.

Agape,

You Matter to GOD

Trust that Yahweh has everything under control. What can be a painful process can be a beautiful beginning.

It is through our experiences, we  learn the lessons to master the course he has us on. To mature and graduate from Freshmen, to Sophomore, Junior, and then Senior, to one day obtain our Doctorate in such matters so that the enemy can not bamboozle us anymore.

Be Well with it for far too long we have profited the enemy, and have not increased our Faith in the Father.

Psalm 37:5 (Amplified Bible)

Commit your way to the Lord [roll and repose each care of your load on Him]; trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass.

The Power of Offense

John 15

18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.

19. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.

"Faith is going to get you through when your heart seems to fail you".

Often our zeal for the Gospel consumes us and we share the Good News with those who have a deaf ear and a harden heart towards our testimony.

But this can be short lived when discouragement confronts you with, “You think you’re better than me.”

Such remarks are not from GOD, nor should you allow them to affect your armor, so put up your shield of Faith and have your helmet of Salvation speaking for you!

The enemy wants to discredit you, and cause your heart to be hardened and distant from your loved ones, friends, and associates. He wants to dim your light to keep you from exposing dark places.

The Armor of God will protect you, even when war is upon you,  your feet is grounded in the Gospel of peace, your sword is the WORD of GOD, and you're prepared in the Spirit to let the truth  prevail with GOD’s righteousness being evident in you.

Because choosing to take up your Cross came with a price that cannot be negotiated.

You have to keep moving forward being Fishers of men, Students of the Master, and a Child of the Most High.

So, dust the dirt off your shoulder or out of your face and pick up your cross, because your response just might win someone to Christ.

Be Well in Jesus Name!
