Don’t give up

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post.
I know it's cliche' and I know we tend to use the phrase over and over again, yet I'm going to say it and that is, "don't give up." Don't give up on where the Lord is taking you. It's easy to stop when it seems nothing is working or nothing is happening. Yet, if you will continue on, things will happen. Yes, just think of it like this: it's similar to losing weight, as long as you continue working out and eating in a healthy manner, you will look up one day and boom, it will seem as though all that weight melted off overnight. And although it wasn't overnight in the natural, it could easily be overnight in the spirit. Yes, you see, God doesn't operate on man's schedule. Time to God is not in our time. He can change things in an instant when we rely on Him and not on what we think we see with our natural eyes. So we have to continue on, because we never know when the Lord is going to move. So, although the phrase, "don't give up" may be overused, they are still important words that should encourage us to stay faithful in what the Lord God is doing, because when God is a part of things, things work. God works it out.

So, I've come to tell you today to look forward. Don't worry about your current circumstances, don't worry about what anybody says or doesn't say. What did God say? You have to know it for yourself and when you know it within your "knower", then use that as fuel for your energy to stay with it. And watch what happens. Proverbs 4:25 says, “let your eyes look directly forward and your gaze be straight before you.” Stay focused on continuously gaining wisdom and gaining that insight from God. You're going to make it as long as you keep on doing what you're doing, which is to continue looking forward. Stay with forward motion. Don't you give up.

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

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
