God's word works when we work it

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post.
I have a friend who is a backsliding Christian. Yet she continuously uses God's word over her life. She's not living the way a traditional Christian lives, but let me tell you, she believes what the bible says and she has several verses that she quotes all the time. Her life is pretty abundant too. What do you think about that?

I can tell you what I think about it and that is, God's word works when we work it. It doesn't work for just Christians, right? We see it working for non-Christians too. Now why do you think that is? Well, for starters, they believe what they speak over their lives. They believe it and they make things happen. They don't just recite scripture, pray, wait until the cows come home, sit around, and do nothing. They get out there and they do the thing. Yes, they are serious about what God says they can do and you see it in their lives. In the book, When Misfits Become Kings, author Mark Casto says, "If God spoke it, His principles work even if a heathen applied it, because it's God's Word.' (page 47). Further proof is in Isaiah 55:11, which says, "so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."

Listen, God's word works when we work it. God's word doesn't work if we don't believe it or if we think manna is going to fall from the sky. We have to get moving and grooving, because let me tell you, we are more powerful with God than without Him. So why not be all we can be? Why not walk and run with the grace, favor, and mercy God gives only to His children, which we are when we call ourselves Christians, right? Why not be truly blessed, because let me say this, God is not a respecter of persons. He will bless those who bless Him and it doesn't matter what we say about it; it doesn't matter what they look like; and it doesn't matter how we think they should act. God will bless anybody regardless of how anybody feels about it and whether anybody understands it or not. He's God. We need to recognize that and start acting like we know who we are in Christ. If we don't, then we will see others getting the blessings we are supposed to get and we can't mad about it either. I'm just keeping it real.

Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you? He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us. It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately. Yes, I, Sharon, the Faith Coach, do not do the things I'm supposed to do when I'm supposed to do them. And that my dear friends should not come as a shock to no one. It certa...

God is Real

I've often had conversations about how we know God is real, about how we know His spirit lives, about how we know we are spiritual beings in human form (not the other way around). The answers lie in the beginning starting with the living  spirit of God and how the world began. God is Real. He's a living breathing spirit, an organism.  God is love . I often wonder how it is that some people think the opposite though. That the world began with a bang, a big bang, a black hole, whatever else they want to call it. The question I always raise to such a "theory" is, how was love created? How was flesh, blood, bones, or our souls created? What I mean by soul is that part of us that perceives "silently" what we do, think, believe, feel, and our mind, our will, our intellect, our emotions. Science or no bang or hole of any sort can explain that. If science can indeed come up with an explanation that does not include God, then let me know. In fact, let us all kno...
