"Show Up"

David strapped on a sword and tried to walk around, but he was not used to wearing those things. “I can't move with all this stuff on,” David said. “I'm just not used to it.” (So) David took off the armor and picked up his shepherd's stick. He went out to a stream and picked up five smooth rocks and put them in his leather bag. Then with his sling in his hand, he went straight toward Goliath.
1 Samuel 17:39‭-‬40 CEV

To sum it all up...Basically, In the words of Casting Crowns: "David showed up with a rock to a sword fight."

Do you know how much you have to trust God in order to show up with nothing, but a rock in your hand when you know your enemy has a sword?

That's what David did. He knew Goliath had a sword. The same sword that he rejected, but still he showed up.

Though the odds were against him, David showed up. He didn't let fear talk him out of showing up. He didn't waste time comparing himself to Goliath. None of that mattered. All that mattered was that he showed up.

See, Sometimes Beloved, You have to show up when you know things don't look good, show up afraid with butterflies in your stomach because you have no idea what to expect; just show up.

Don't be fearful. Why be fearful of wasn't hasn't happened yet?....But show up, trusting that the God that made a way for you last time will do the same this time.

The size of the giant you're facing doesn't matter.  How many people are siding with  your enemy against you doesn't matter. The words,  the insults, the diagnosis none of that is God's response or His final answer concerning you.

Remember this, Goliath believed in the power of what HE  could do, and talked a good game UNTIL David believing in the power of HIS GOD showed up and shut his mouth.

Read 1 Samuel 17:33-50 CEV and be encouraged....
It's time for you to show up....
GOD has your back!!

Until Next Sunday.

"Jesus, Tell Me A Story"

Jesus told his disciples a story about how they should keep on praying and never give up:
Luke 18:1 CEV

Imagine, you were a child again and Jesus was the one telling you a bedtime story...
While you are certainly not a child in age anymore, you are still a child, a child of God.

So, Imagine how comforting it would be to have your Lord and Savior there at your bedside, telling you a story about praying and never giving up....Much better than the childhood stories you know and remember growing up, huh?

No Prince or Princesses, Castles or Magic fairy dusk, but just the tried and proven method of praying; how praying will strengthen you  and keep you, if you don't give up.

Imagine Jesus telling you about how when He walked this earth as a man to avoid stress, to avoid depression, to avoid getting burnt out in the midst of His assignment...He would get alone with the Father often to pray according to
Luke 5:16 NIV

Imagine Jesus telling you about the time He spent all night in the presence of the Father and the miracles that took place because of the prayer life He had while here on earth.
Luke 6:12 NIV

Would that make you feel encouraged enough to seek a deeper prayer life? Would that encourage you to keep going in prayer and NEVER give up no matter what happens or doesn't happen around you?
I hope so.

Don't give in to weariness. Don't faint...PRAY!!
Luke 18:1 KJV,
Gal 6:9 NIV

Until Next Sunday.

"Take A Seat"

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies...
Psalms 23:5 AMP

There will come a time, when you will be able to take a seat, sit at the table and just enjoy what the Lord has blessed you with.

1 Timothy 6:17 NKJV talks about how God gives us all things to richly enjoy.

Therefore, BELOVED, Your season of enjoyment is coming....

But right now, You're working your faith, planning your plans, trying your best to move in step with Holy Spirit.

More than anything you need Him to be a teacher and teach you what's best for you, teach you (direct you) in the way that you should go as it says in Isaiah 48:17 NIV and the NKJV says, He will teach you how to profit.

You see, Right now you are doing what you must, and people are looking and laughing, but know this: When the table has been FULLY prepared and your enemies have been put in a position to watch...

You will finally be ready to take a seat at the table and enjoy what God has blessed you with, enjoy what He has set before you and there will be NOTHING they can do to stop you.

Until Next Sunday.

"Speak Up For Yourself"

Jesus came to the disciples walking on water; they didn't
recognize him and was terrified!!...

But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
“Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
Matthew 14:25-‬29 NIV

Think about this with me:
What if Peter wasn't the ONLY ONE feeling the urge to get out that boat, after seeing Jesus walk on water...But he was  just the ONLY ONE who spoke up and said something?

Beloved, It's time you spoke up for yourself. What is it you're shying away from because noone else in your inner circle is doing it?

Say what you want and move towards it....You are not having the urge to move, to get out of what you're in, to chart new territory for nothing. Now is the time!!

You can't afford to worry about whose not willing to come with you in this season...If they want to come, but don't come, then that's on them.

Peter didn't base his decision on people...He based his decision on how he was feeling and the fact that Jesus said, "Come." When Jesus said, "Come" that was all the validation he needed.

So, Let the journey begin...
Get out the boat.
Walk by faith (2 Corin 5:7)
And remember,
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
I Corinthians 2:9 NKJV

Notice that neither eye nor ear is plural...That's because it's not necessary for everybody to see and understand what you're doing. This move right here is between you and God only.

Until Next Sunday.

"His Hand"

While Jesus was in one of the cities, there came a man covered with [an advanced case of] leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean and well.” And Jesus reached out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately the leprosy left him.

Luke 5:12‭-‬13 AMP

It's obvious you need help, but nobody is willing to take the time to reach out to you...So, You decided to drop your pride and ask for help... ONLY to discover that you don't qualify for government assistance and you have NO FRIENDS or family that is wiling to help.

What do you do? Where do you go when the government, family & friends alike won't help you? 

You go to Jesus. The same Jesus that reached out his hand to a man with (advanced) leprosy has His hand out for you, willing to assist you.

And His hand is NOT prejudice nor does His hand wait to see if you qualify for help, before helping you.

The man had an advanced case of leprosy meaning his situation was as bad as it could get...But yet, Jesus was willing to offer him a hand.

So, Why wouldn't He give you a hand too? All your situation needs is a touch from Jesus. One touch from Jesus and your finances will be healed, your bank account will stop looking malnourished, your refrigerator and cabinets, your entire house will be in overflow. 

If Jesus would allow Peter to find the money they needed (in a fish's mouth) to pay their taxes...What makes you think He can't supernaturally bless you when you aren't even expecting it?

Matthew 17:24-27 NIV

Until Next Sunday.
