"Turn Aside"

[3] And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. [4] And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. 

Exodus 3:3-4 KJV

Beloved,

I know you think you're waiting on God, but God is really waiting on you.

God is waiting on you to turn aside, to move away from the path you were headed and give Him your full attention. NO MORE DIVIDED ATTENTION.

You can't see all there is to see in one day, but you can see what God is trying to get you to see... If you would just turn aside, forget what you were doing before, and do what God leading you to do right now.

 Moses turned aside from what he was doing before he saw the bush on fire and came and gave God his full attention.

Afterwhich, God told Moses what He would have him do next. 

Exodus 3:5-10 KJV

SOMEBODY:

God has not given you your next, because you have not honestly turned aside, moved away from that path that feels so familiar to you by now. You have not made any efforts to move, to step out in faith, and come and see what thus saith the Lord.

Now, Moses had no idea, that God was about to talk to him through what he was seeing, but still he came, he turned aside from what he was doing to go see. 

Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.

Matthew 6:34 MSG

So, Stop being so stuck on what's familiar. The next time you feel led to go check something out, to find out more. TURN ASIDE AND DO IT. 

God just might be talking to you about your next, through something you never expected.

I'M SURE, MOSES NEVER EXPECTED TO SEE A BURNING BUSH (and it be God), but He did and it was.

Until Next Sunday.

"Time Wasters"

[25]  And I will restore or replace for you the years that the locust has eaten–

Joel 2:25 AMPC

You shouldn't have to ask God to restore the time you lost on some things.

Learn to set boundaries and stop letting people play with your time.

The devil will take the very thing you love and throw it back in your face as a distraction, if you're not careful. 

He wants you distracted, because when you are distracted, you lose time away from your goals, time away from your overall assignment. 

In Matthew 16:23 NIV

[23] Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”

Here, Jesus recognized that the devil (Satan) was using Peter to be a stumbling block, using him as a distraction away from the concerns of God, using him as a distraction away from the things of God.

So, What did Jesus Do? He called "That Spirit" out...

He said, "Get behind Me, Satan!!" Not that Peter was Satan or that Peter was a bad person, but there was a spirit operating in him that needed to be SHUT DOWN‼️

Beloved, What are you saying?

👉Set some boundaries where your time is concerned.

👉Time wasters are a real thing.

👉God shouldn't have to restore the time He has given you (for some things).

👉Stop letting people play with your time. 

👉Be a good steward over your time.

👉No More Distractions!!

👉Get Behind Us, Satan!!

👉SHUT THAT SPIRIT DOWN‼️

👉Work on your goals, work your assignment. 

Until Next Sunday.

"Warned"

#5MinutesofFocus

"Warned"

Hannah had a husband that loved her unconditionally, whether she had his child or not.

Hannah had a husband who would share with her what he had financially without being asked.

He just freely gave Hannah a double portion of what he had. Because he loved her.

1 Samuel 1:5 (NIV)

And because he loved her, He tried to understand how she was feeling. Though, there was no way he possibly could, still he tried.

Her husband, Elkanah would say to her, “Hannah, why are you weeping? Why don’t you eat? Why are you downhearted? Don’t I mean more to you than ten sons?”

1 Samuel 1:8 NIV

Looking at Hannah's life from the perspective I just carefully layed out for you...

It would seem that Hannah had the best husband, the best marriage, the best life and that's exactly WHAT I WANTED you to think.

See how easy it was for me to manipulate your thinking?

Beloved, If you're not careful social media will manipulate your thinking, manipulate you into thinking that a person's life is better than it really is.

I'm here to warn you... Don't waste your time being  jealous or envious of a lot of the stuff you see posted on social media.

When in reality, Like Hannah (some of them) are not even the only female in the relationship....

Hannah was not Elkanah's one & only...He also was married to Peninnah and had children by her (which was the accepted custom in those days). So, it was not like he was cheating, but still...

There was another person involved and she had made herself Hannah's rival, tormenting Hannah relentlessly because she had no children by Elkanah.

So, Again don't be jealous or envious of what you see on social media...You don't know the FULL behind the scenes story of that person's life.

That's why comparing ourselves to others is not wise.

2 Corinthians 10:12 NIV

For wherever there is jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry and selfish ambition), there will also be confusion (unrest, disharmony, rebellion) and all sorts of evil and vile practices.

James 3:16 AMPC

And let's face it...That kind of behavior looks cute on NO ONE.

You've  been warned.

Until Next Sunday.

"Distrusting People "

#5MinutesofFocus

"Distrusting People"

So the other disciples told Thomas, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

John 20:25 NIV

Thomas just refused to believe that the other disciples had seen Jesus...He wouldn't believe it, UNTIL he saw Jesus and the wounds he suffered for Himself.

Makes me wonder...

What Thomas had been through in his life PRIOR to becoming a disciple that would cause him to doubt, to not believe what's told to him, but he had to see it for himself ?

Seems like Thomas had a distrust of people. Seems like he had learned enough in life to know that people can and will LIE to you.

Seems like Thomas had dealt with that LYING Spirit before, in people close to him. Therefore, he was not SO QUICK to trust or believe the disciples.

Thomas was a human being just like you & me with issues he still needed to take directly to Jesus.

Because there are some hurts that only being in Jesus' presence for yourself will heal.

When you go through so much at the hands of people; them lying to you, lying on you...It's difficult to just bounce back from that mentally like nothing ever happened and be the trusting person you were before.

Jesus knowing that; came back to the house a 2nd time to show Thomas his wounds, all the places on The Cross he had been hurt by people.

Zechariah 13:6 KJV

Then Jesus tells him to stop doubting. You see, Beloved, there comes a time when IT'S  SAFE to put your doubts to rest.

Jesus was there to help Thomas who was doubting, he was there to help him see the truth and heal.

Jesus was there to help Thomas get over his distrust of people; as far as the disciples were concerned anyways...

He could trust them, it's just that mentally he couldn't process that yet...

Mentally, I know there are some things you can't process yet when it comes to trusting people...NO JUDGING HERE.

I just pray you get healed enough to see that all people are not like the ones that hurt you and made you distrustful in the 1st place.

Until Next Sunday.

11/2/25 "You Can't Afford To Miss It"

"You Can't Afford To Miss It"

[18] One day when her child was older, he went out to help his father, who was working with the harvesters. [19] Suddenly he cried out, “My head hurts! My head hurts!” His father said to one of the servants, “Carry him home to his mother.”

2 Kings 4:18-19 NLT

HIS MOTHER was a woman who operated heavy in the gift of discernment. So much so, that she discerned just from observing him that Elisha was indeed a real man of God.

Sure of what she was picking up in her spirit, she decided to build a room (onto her house) for the man of God whenever he was in town.

Now, The devil didn't show up during the building of the room...But one day, when her son was out of the field helping his father, the devil attacked his head.

SOMEBODY: Your child is having "random" headaches that just happen without any triggers or warning signs.

PRAY...Don't ever let your guard down when it comes to your children.

PRAY without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (KJV)

Never stop praying. 

1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NLT)

Parents: Pray over your children because when the enemy can't get to you...He will come for your seed.

When he can't stop what you're currently working on, what you are currently building....He will go after what you  already have accomplished.

And what greater accomplishment is there than motherhood, than fatherhood. 

The mother in 2 Kings 4 was operating heavy in the gift of discernment, but the one day she really needed the gift...She missed it!!

PRAY...Never rely on the gift more than you rely on the God who gave you the gift, because you can be gifted and still miss it...

You can be anointed and still miss it. Just ask the prophet Samuel. He missed it, thinking that Eliab was the next king when he wasn't.

1 Samuel 16

PRAY.... Because you can't afford to miss it when it comes to your children's mental health etc.

Until Next Sunday.

10/26/25 "Cherishing Sin "

10/26/25

#5MinutesofFocus 

"Cherishing Sin"

What does your heart look like? Remember, God looks at the heart and NOT the outward appearance according to 1 Samuel 16:7

Are you cherishing something in your heart that came about because of sin?

If so, You're right...God is not listening, He’s not listening to your prayers because of the sin that's in your heart, the sin that you are cherishing. 

---

📖 Verse: Psalm 66:18 (NIV)

“If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.”

---

🔍 Word Study: "Cherish"

     What does it mean to cherish sin?      

- In The Original Hebrew: The word translated as “cherish” comes from a root meaning to regard, consider, or give place to. It implies intentionality—not just having sin, but holding it close.

 - To cherish sin is to protect it, justify it, or refuse to release it.

 - It’s not about struggling with sin, but clinging to it knowingly.

---

- The psalmist is saying that if he had knowingly held onto sin, God would not have responded to his prayers.

• Because cherishing sin creates a spiritual blockage. It’s not that God is unwilling to listen, but that unrepentant sin distorts the relationship.

---

•Personal accountability:

-  “If I…” shows the psalmist owns his spiritual condition.

- Because intimacy with God requires honesty and honesty is the 1st step to you taking accountability. 

- GOOD NEWS:

- Repentance restores access: When sin is confessed and released, the barrier is removed.

So, Ask God to show you that thing, that time in your life that you are cherishing, that is sin. REPENT & SEEK to let it go. Make room for God to listen again.

Until Next Sunday.

10/19/25 "Goals"

"Goals"

[28] “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” [29]  “Come,” Jesus said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. [30] But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

Matthew 14:28-30 NIV 

Stay focused on your goals and don't worry about the wind. Whoever watches the wind will not plant -meaning you will not take the time to sow, to invest in what you say is important to you for fear of the wind- fear of what conditions are like, fear of what your circumstances will be like.

Ecclesiastes 11:4 NIV

SOMEBODY Else: You're worried about the when...

When will it happen, now that I have sown, been sowing, been investing, taking one step at a time.

Peter messed up when he took his eyes off Jesus and started concerning himself with what the wind was doing. Up until that moment, he was taking it one step at a time, making it happen.

Peter was walking on the water. Peter was doing something that only Jesus knew he was capable of achieving, if given a chance. So, He invited him to "Come."

Beloved,

There are some things, some goals that only God knows you are capable of achieving.  There will be days, when the people who know you best won't believe in you or your goals. There will even be days, when you doubt your own capability.

Just remember, You can do

ALL things  through  Christ who strengthens you.

Philippians 4:13 NIV

You are not sinking, it just feels that way. Keep going until you reach your goals.

 I BELIEVE IN YOU. 

Until Next Sunday.
