Moving Right Along

I looked up the word, stream and a stream is a continuous flow of motion. It moves right along with the flow.

Is that what we're doing? Are we moving with the flow of God? Are we going in the direction He would have for us? Did you know God makes the crooked places straight? Yes, it's true. In Isaiah 45:2, God says "I will go before you and will level the mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron." How amazing is that? That God would do that for His people? So you need not worry about busting through any doors, God will open those for you too (Isaiah 45:1b). And you don't have to concern yourself with deviating from the plan He has given you. Why would you do that anyway? There is no need. He said He would go before you and level the places out, didn't He (read verse 2 again)? That means when you get where you're going, everything will be nicely laid out for you as though it was all waiting for you, in which it was indeed. Sometimes we think we need to overwork ourselves into oblivion to achieve all that God has for us, when all we need to do is remain focused on what He told us to do and do those things. That's it. No big deal.

Where is it you want Him to take you? What mountain do you want Him to level for you? Wherever and whatever they are, you will get there and you will get what you're after when you follow the moving stream of God, because it never stops flowing.

God blesses whomever he wants to bless, whenever he wants to bless them

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. When I was going through a dark time -- when I had nothing -- there was a certain person who helped me sometimes. She helped me whenever she basically felt like it, but she did help, and for that I'm appreciative. But, something interesting happened after I started growing out of my despair. Something interesting started happening when I no longer needed her for anything. And something interesting happened even though I remained kind and grateful towards. The interesting thing that happened was that she started hating on me. She started treating me differently. At first I was really bothered by it, because I thought she and her husband were nice people I wanted in my life. I liked that they had a sense of compassion and were interested in helping people who were down and low. That really appealed to me, because I was raised that way; my mother was raised that way; her mother was raised that way, and it goes back to as fa

Click to listen to current podcast episode. “Never Giving Up” are power-words — strong affirmations that give us momentum and movement. That’s what’s up. We can do so much more in our lives when we have momentum and movement. It’s about standing, literally and not sitting or laying around feeling sorry for ourselves. I used to do that once upon a time and that sorrowful thinking is for the birds. We don’t have to be down. We can get up and get going even if we start small. In fact, I love starting small, because it helps set a firm foundation of habits and routines. Momentum and movement will help us get and maintain a position of strength to do what God says we can do.

Speak things as if they were

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. Do you know you have the power to speak things into existence? Do you know you have the power to change your atmosphere? Oh yes, so speak life to your life and know that the Lord's Word never comes back void. It is always alive and active. It's never too late to start speaking over your life. In Mark 11 :24 Jesus says, "therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours" and Proverbs 23 :7 says, "for as a man thinks in his heart, so is he." Those verses are proof that when something lives in our heart, all we have to do is open our mouths and speak those things as if we already had them. It's amazing how much power we really have, but we throw it away, because of our lack of faith. I've done that for years and let me tell you, it's not happening anymore. I'm not giving no thing, no one, and no place another inch of m
