LIVING YOUR BELIEF #LETITSHINE

8/14/2022

do you really believe in God? do you really believe He is the creator of the universe?

then let that belief seep into every cell of your God-created being! let that belief be undeniable in your thoughts, your actions, even your demeaner. let it be so evident that anyone who meets you...or hears the words you speak... know immediately that you are different...that you are a child of God.


But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. – 2 Corinthians 3.18

do you ever feel like you are just treading water...just trying to survive?  or worse...do you feel like you are drowning in life's situations? the good news you don't have to live like that. there is a different way.

imagine you were thrown into the deep end of the pool without knowing how to swim. you would probably kick and wave your arms...trying to keep your head above water. but what if you had taken in one deep breath...filled your lungs with air...and let your body relax?  slowly you can feel your entire body float to the surface...leaning your head back you can see the sky above you...the ripples of water caressing your skin...the noise of the world muffled out as your ears slip beneath the water line. you start to exhale with relief...but almost panic as you feel yourself start to sink...but quickly breath in filling your lungs completely and your body rises again to the surface.

that's life. that's what faith feels like. it's letting go of the struggle...the exhaustion of treading water...of trying all by yourself to solve every problem. when you turn your thoughts and your imagination to faith-filled outcomes...with thoughts of praise and thankfulness...to the simple knowledge that with GOD all things are possible, it feels like floating.  fill your mind with supernatural possibilities. just like you would fill your lungs with air...breath in and stop fighting the water...stop fighting the circumstances around you.

you were created by the same God that created the entire universe.  nothing is impossible for Him if you just ask. Jesus can calm your storm...HE can give you peace in the middle of chaos. but you must turn your mind to faith...not fear.  keep your focus on HIM and HIS promises.

relax.  let go.  let the world be the world.

Opportunities are hunting us down

​I’ve always been a shy person...and I used to say “My shyness has ruined so many great opportunities!”

But then...after years of believing this lie...I realized that I can’t stop God from sending opportunities into my life again and again! In my shyness and false-belief I wasn’t looking at the opportunities right in front of me...I didn’t even see them.  God has a plan for my life...I don’t have to regret missing one opportunity, as if GOD, the creator of the entire universe, doesn’t have the power to arrange for another one!! Wow...what a dramatic change in my life!  What a shift in thinking! Now I realize that all of those missed opportunities that God was arranging are still hunting me down! 

He never gives up on me. He loves me.
He will keep giving.
I just have to open my eyes, my heart, and receive.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. – Jeremiah 29:11

FILL YOUR MINDS WITH GOOD #thinkpositive #

2/27/2021

do you feel worry, anger, depression, confusion, fear, guilt, or doubt?  are your thoughts generally about things you fear or worry about...or feel guilty about?  there is a way out from under it...a way to replace the negative thoughts with something good.

the bible speaks about the importance of what we think and what we speak... as in proverbs 4.23... "be careful what you think, your life is shaped by your thoughts." making the choice to think about things that are good, that deserve praise, things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely and honorable (philippians 4.8) is up to us. controlling our thoughts and imagination...choosing what we hold in our minds is our own responsibility.  if we allow our thoughts to follow everything going on around us...then our thoughts, moods, and ultimately our lives are controlled by the input of images, voices and situations around us, or by the past that we keep replaying in our minds. but by disciplining yourself to focus on thoughts of hope, good memories, dreams and all good things, your life will change dramatically.

In 2 corinthians 4.13 it says "i spoke because i believed. in the same spirit of faith we also speak because we believe."  in mark 11.23..."i assure you that whoever tells this mountain to get up and throw itself in the sea and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him."  proverbs 18.21 says "the tongue can speak words that bring life or death. those who love to talk must be ready to accept what it brings." and in proverbs 4.23, "be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts."

Stop staring at the rear view mirror...you’ll miss all the beauty in front of you.
In other words...don’t keep dwelling on the past... you’ll miss all the good stuff God is giving you today.

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
Isaiah 43:18-19

I don’t know what tomorrow looks like. BUT GOD DOES AND HE IS WITH ME. I don’t have to be afraid.

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
ISAIAH 41.10

too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
LEO BUSCAGLIA

And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
HEBREWS 13.16
