If God said it....You Write It!


http://www.publicdomainpictures.net/view-image.php?image=12367&picture=writing



Have you ever had a vision or dream that you thought that was just out of this world? If so, did you write it down or just think "this isn't going to happen"?  I'm guilty of both.  I have had many visions that I didn't write down only becuase I thought "that would be nice, but let me be real with myselft, it's not going to happen".  I just spoke death over a possible vision God gave me because of my little faith and fear. 

Habakkuk 2:2-3
 2 Then the LORD answered me and said:
     “ Write the vision
      And make it plain on tablets,
      That he may run who reads it.
       3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
      But at the end it will speak, and it will not
lie.
      Though it tarries, wait for it;
      Because it will surely come,
      It will not tarry.
       

God plainly says in these two scriptures to write down the visions He gives to you.  Once you write it down, continue to pray sincere prayers over the vision and watch God work. Be mindful not to get discouraged if you feel like it's not happening when you think it should.  Verse three says that God has an appointed time for the vision, and you may have to wait, but it will surely come in due time. 

It's an honor when God trusts us enough with a vision He has for our lives.  Take them seriously and don't let anyone discourage you from that vision.  It's also important that we have vision for our lives.
 
Proverbs 29:18

 18Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.


Not everyone understands what God allows you to see and not everyone is on the same level of faith that you are to understand how you are going to carry out your vision.  Continue to write down your visions and take them to God in prayer and fasting. If He said....You Write It. 

Here are 10 reason God gives us visions:

WHY A VISION?
1. Clarifies Direction
2. Invites Unity
3. Facilitates Function
4. Enhances Leadership
5. Prompts Passion
6. Fosters Risk Taking
7. Offers Sustenance
8. Creates Energy
9. Provides Purpose
10. Motivates Giving

SAY!!


http://wvfc.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/faith-hope-love.jpg
Say, sounds like an incomplete topic right?  Well last weekend I attended Day Star Tabernacle International, in Douglasville GA, with my church family (Sonship Harvest Ministries) and the preacher said that God told him that the topic of his sermon would be “Say”.  Of course, the congregation didn’t understand at first, but he explained that when we think about problems or issues nothing happens until we “say” something.  

The scripture came from Matthew 17:20
He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly, I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

The power of life and death is in the tongue, which is what comes out of our mouths when we say something. Be careful with that tongue!

Now some of you have probably heard this same sermon many times, but he explained it in a way that increased my faith by a ton.  I understood faith, and speaking thing as though they are, but he really gave it to us to SAY and have FAITH.  We are the bride of Christ, therefore He loves us and is willing to give us all the riches we could ask for, but we have to say something to Him. We have to have that intimate relationship with God. In relationships and marriages, if you do not talk to one another how do you all stay connected?

The pastor then explained not only do you have to say something but whatever you say, you must believe it will come to pass.  Many of us say we want something but a times doubt what we say which causes what we spoke to cancel out.  The pastor gave a testimony about how he needed a van for a family member to drive while they were in town.  He said during church one day, “I need a van for my family”.  As soon as he returned home, there was van and the keys in his driveway.  Now look at God work J
After the pastor wrapped up his sermon, Apostle Horton (Day Star Tabernacle Int’) encouraged everyone to say something, they wanted God to do for them and also believe and have faith that it’s coming!

I’ll keep everyone updated on my “SAY-FAITH” and show how God is moving.

Make Destiny Decisions

One decision can change the trajectory of your life!

From the moment your eyes open in the morning until the time they close at night, you are continuously making decisions. Whether choosing a lunch menu or closing a corporate deal, decisions are your life's building blocks, and these choices have determined the life you are currently living today.

Regardless of your circumstances, your responses to those circumstances are always up to you. Whether you succeed or fail is simply a reflection of how you choose to respond to the influences around you day in and day out.

God wants to become your personal trainer—showing you the way to make good decisions, and build a healthy life, but you must make the choice to listen to His voice, study His methods, and allow Him to transform your decision-making process.

Much like a man with a gun to his head, poor decision-making kills your destiny and prosperity at point blank range. Instead of playing Russian roulette with your future, define your target, aim carefully, and shoot with precision.

Give your destiny a surviving chance by committing to making the best decision in every situation. Your life is worth the fight.

Proverbs 1:32-33 NIV: For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them; but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm."

God Requires ALL

Inspiration 6/3/11

 "God Requires All" was a message a few Sunday's ago at church.   This message came from 1 Samuel 15.  In 1 Samuel, God sent Samuel to tell Saul that He was to destroy Amalek and all that they have (men, women, children, oxen, sheep, camel and ass). Saul only destroyed what he wanted to destroy and left the best.  Those were not the instructions that God gave Samuel to give to Saul. 

That's how we are today, God wants all of us but we only choose to give Him a part of us, only because we want to hold on to some of the things we shouldn't.  If He says let it go, LET IT GO!!

The song by Forever Jones - He Wants It All fits this topic.

Inspiration 5/24/11

Make Me Over

"Make me over", a phrase we should use everyday.  We should pray that God makes us over and renew in a sound mind and cleansed heart.
