Stressed out? Look to Heaven

Corinthian 7:1 having therefore these promises dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God

 My Garden of Faith says...

 Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God  --Corrie Ten Bloom
What are you stressing about today? Your bills? That job you've been searching months for? Family? The only fear you should be operating in is the one of  being found to be living in sin upon the return of Jesus to this world. Everything else needs to be placed in front of The Lord and it will be taken care of. There's a catch to that. When we make a choice not to keep God's commandments, we lose that divine protection which leaves us wide open for satan and his cronies to do what they do, reap havoc in our lives. We must have a certain fear of The Lord that causes us to obey Him. Otherwise, get ready because life is going to be a long, hard, and bumpy ride for you. True knowledge of His word let's us know the severity of the punishment that will befall the unsaved and disobedient upon His return. That sentence is death, as in blotted OUT of existence. Go to the book of Revelations and read for yourself. It is a tell all book of how God is going to deal with his children. The Holy Spirit working in you should lead you to God so that you don't have to live In fear. We should look forward to His return.  God commands is to cleanse ourselves before Him and tells us not to love the ways of The world. It's ok to be successful and see your dreams on this earth manifest themselves. God wants us to live abundantly but don't forget to set up your treasures in heaven as well. That should always be our primary focus over everything else in life.  So many of us are caught up in having this and that and none of it will be there in the end when the fire comes. It's all material things that will be eventually be destroyed and left behind when you die. The last thing you want to hear in the end is "it's too late" so I encourage you to get it together now. Scripture also says we learn righteousness through the things we suffer. I truly did go through when I was living in sin myself so when God delivered me, I said Lord I never want to go through that again. Once I realized disobedience was the reason I suffered so much, the Holy Spirit blessed me with a fear that pushed me out of sin for good. I'm afraid of losing Gods protection over my family and my life again. God protects those who love him as in those of us who obey His word. That's the key to success in everything we do. Go to the the Lord and submit yourself to Him, then watch our Heavenly Father move in your life. You don't need to be stressed out about the things of this world. Let the fear of The Lord lead you into holiness then cast your burdens on Him. Don't be a prayer "worrier" be a prayer "Warrior."


Our Daily prayer...

Lord strengthen me on this day to start on the path of righteousness. Remove from me the desires of the things of this world that are not of You. Create a fear within me so that I do not return to my life of sin. By faith I claim on this day that you have already taken care of all of my needs. I will not stress. Lord I trustYou. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Who Do You Represent?

This year has been one of total conviction and divine revelation for me and I'm beyond greatful to God. Like I said in my last post, I went though a very tough season this past year and As I slowly allowed the Holy Spirit to fully dwell within me again after grieving it almost to death, the question "who do you represent?" Screamed loudly in my head. With every sinful action that took place  I would hear that question and it crippled my heart. Those words were in my head day...and night. I was so convicted.  I was lead by the Holy Spirit to put my pen down and open my bible daily. So during this pruning season, God was shaking the mess out of me like wake up daughter! You're falling asleep again! I cried so many nights and I fought back like a chid.  I was corrected consistently. I began to wake up. Blinders came off and I started seeing things spiritually.  I became completely disgusted with myself and repented immediately as I was beginning to see how lukewarm I...

How to Beat the Defeated Mindset

Have you ever gotten into a situation that didn’t go anything like you planned? The first thought is to feel frustrated, defeated and hopeless.   Your mind begins to create situations that haven’t even happened making you feel like you’re stuck. Next, you lose motivation to be proactive in changing your unfavorable circumstances.   You may even begin to succumb to feelings of sadness and depression. That’s a spirit that you must free yourself of.   How do we do that? Through prayer and constant communication with God no matter how you bad you think things are and making a choice not to let our circumstances govern our lives. Decide to win and that with God you will NEVER lose . Understand that feeling defeated is a MINDSET and a crafty trick of the enemy.  There is always a way to make things better and God will order your steps if you ask and allow Him to.   In order t o do this we must exercise our faith which is a little difficult when there...

Attention Single Mothers: Maturity in Your Walk Required

Being a single mother myself there have been some days that I have wanted to scream because it seems like everything happens all at once. I still have two minor children left to raise and one who is an adult but very young and still needs my guidance to an extent so there are some long tough days. Then I have the challenge of trying to maintain a civil and Godly relationship with the father of my younger two. I call it a challenge because not every man knows the meaning of responsibility and sacrifice for their children so there have been many times I've just had to trust God. The fact that the child support enforcement agency has to even exist is sad to me. It makes me sick that some men feel that because child support "didn't come out of their check" they get a pass not to take care of their kids.  You will let some man in a robe tell you how much you need to pay to take care of YOUR children and that's your definition of being a good father? Being a good parent...
