Rise up!

”You are to rise up from the ambush and take the city.  The Lord your God will give it into your hand...” 
Joshua 8:7

It’s time to rise up and take the blessings God has set before you; it is time to stop being discouraged, fearful, intimidated, and afraid!  Child of God, stand up, take the blessings that are yours and live the amazing life God has set before you.  
No more time to waste - RISE UP and LIVE.

Oh how mighty God’s glory is!

“If the Lord is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us...the Lord is with us.  Do not be afraid of them.
...Then the glory of the Lord appeared...”
Numbers 14:8-10

When you trust in, believe in, listen to, and let God lead the way, his glory will shine ever-so-brightly in your life - leading you from glory to glory to glory.

Ask, Receive - Seek, Find - Knock, Open

“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”
Luke 11:9-10

Don’t back out of your goals and dreams because of fear! Heck NO!  Instead, look fear straight on and tell it to get behind you and eat your dust.

Friends, God’s Word says to ask, seek, and knock, so do it in order to obtain your prayers, goals, dreams, and desires!  His Word states that when you do, you will receive, you will find and doors will be opened for you.  Thus, go for it!  Go BIG – Go ALL-OUT – Stand STRONG, remembering to never look back!!

Faithful to the end

“… Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.”
Revelation 2:10 NIV

Be faithful to Christ to the very end, and the very end will become your glorious new beginning.

Live to give!

Give constant encouragement, lifting spirits and charging others with fresh hope, saying: "No more crying, there is life in you yet.  Accordingly, finish what God started in you, always be on your toes, staying awake to the temptations of darkness (Satan).  Yes,  stay awake and keep up your guard, for as you know, Satan roams around like a lion seeking anyone he can slaughter, (the vulnerable, the tired, the sleeping, and the glutton).  So, listen to the voice of God and keep His Words in your heart so that he can make you into what he wants you to be and give you everything you could possibly need. And, finally, always remember this: You're will be far happier giving than getting."  
~ Adapted from Acts 20


LIVE SO THAT GOD CAN SHINE TO THOSE LIVING IN DARKNESS!  
LIVE TO SHARE LIFE, LOVE, AND JOY.  
LIVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOD'S WORD.  
LIVE TO HEAL AND BE HEALED.  
LIVE TO GIVE!

LIVE SO THAT YOU CAN TRULY LIVE!

Know God? Then live like it!

"And [said Jesus,] I tell you that to everyone who gets and has will more be given, but from the man who does not get and does not have, even what he has will be taken away." Luke 19:26 AMP

Know God, and spend quality time with Him on a consistent basis?  If so then this life that you live now will prove to be fulfilled in ways that bring ease to your heart and joy to your soul.  You will come to the end of your life filled with Jesus; peaceful, joyful, satisfied, blessed, and loved.

Don't know God, and aren't taking the time trying to know God?  If not then this life that you work so hard trying to obtain all of your goals and dreams in will only prove to be tireless, never-ending, works that will never fully satisfy.  You will come to the end of your life worn out, unfulfilled, unsatisfied, and, more than likely, alone and heavy burdened.  

Therefore, get to know God more and more ~ make this life you are living one to be lived for!!

Hold on! Hold on tight!!

"And I will bring back the exiles of My people... they shall build... and plant... they shall also make gardens and eat the fruit of them.  And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be torn up out of their land which I gave them, says the Lord your God." Amos 9:14-15 AMP

Don't give up!! You may be at wit's end! You may have lost everything! You no longer feel as if you have the strength, faith, or determination to do it all again, to start at the beginning, but God is here with you! He has a plan for you, and if you will just keep your faith in Him, dig in with both feet, believe like never before, and have the faith of a thousand men, then the breakthrough you thought would never happen, will happen!  It is going to happen at just the right time, at just the right place. 

So, hold on! Hold on tight, my friend, because the doors of His glory are getting ready to burst wide open, and your entry into a grand, sparkling new beginning is about to come to pass.

Praise God - Hallelujah!

Guidance from God

Words of God’s wisdom from Luke 6, MSG:

“… Your task is to be true, not popular.” (26)

“… Love your enemies.  Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst.” (27-30)

“… Don’t condemn… be easy on people…” (37-38)

“… Give away your life; you'll find life given back, but not merely given back—given back with bonus and blessing. … Giving, not getting, is the way…” (37-38)
______________________________________

Maybe one of these grabs your attention more than the others – focus on it.  Ask God, pray, and let him do the changing within you.

Forever!

"...This is God's Message..
'And then I'll marry you for good - forever!  I'll marry you true and proper, in love and tenderness.  Yes, I'll marry you and neither leave you nor let you go.  
You'll know me, God, for who I really am.' "  
Hosea 2:16-20 MSG

God is love.  
God is true, proper, and full of tenderness.  
God is the one and only true spouse; a spouse that loves unconditionally, never makes mistakes, and comes through ALL of the time.  
God is forever.  

Give Him your life!  You'll never need to rely on anyone or anything else again!!

Wrong way! Turn back!

“…Turn back – right now, each one of you! – from your evil way of life and bad behavior, and live the land God gave you and your ancestors, the land he intended to give you forever…” Jeremiah 2:4-6 MSG

Turn away from sin, turn to God.  He has so much to offer and give you – so much better then you have now.

Whatever we ask

And we receive from Him whatever we ask, because we [watchfully] obey His orders [observe His suggestions and injunctions, follow His plan for us] and [habitually] practice what is pleasing to Him.” 1 John 3:22 AMPC

There could be two reasons that we don’t receive what we desire, what we are hoping for: Either we aren’t asking, or we are asking, but we aren’t doing what the Holy Spirit is leading us to do in other areas of our lives.  We can’t be asking God for blessings, yet doing nothing for God in return; we should be asking and doing both.  So, think about your prayers, then think about your actions – do they coincide with the leading of the Lord in your life?  If not, change your actions and ask with a pure heart.  Now, if they do line up, and what you are asking for still isn’t coming into fruition, then what you are asking for isn’t good enough for you, and God has something much better in store.  So, keep the faith, live with patience, and let the good Lord bring your prayers into reality in His way and in His timing.

What you put in

“… The measure [of thought and study] you give [to the truth you hear] will be the measure [of virtue and knowledge] that comes back to you - and more [besides] will be given to you who hear.” Mark 4:24 AMP

Simply: The effort you put in will be the result that comes out!

Don't give in to sin!

"Do not give that which is holy (the sacred thing) to the dogs, and do not throw your pearls before hogs, lest they trample upon them with their feet and turn and tear you into pieces." Matthew 7:6 AMP

Being the fleshly beings we are, when we truly desire something in our lives, and we want it to happen yesterday, we can easily come to a point where we give in and do what we feel we got to do to get it - even if it means falling into sin to get it.  We begin to think things like: This is my only chance; I've worked so hard for this moment; God knows my heart; and the list goes on and on. However, unless we take a big bold step of faith, and walk away from giving into sin, even if it hurts, then we've done committed the sin, and, guaranteed, there will be big prices to pay for it.  

Friends, when an opportunity of a lifetime comes your way, but you have to commit small (or big) sins to take it, then it really isn't an opportunity of a lifetime at all - it is an opportunity of death (destruction, bad endings, loss, and darkness).  Therefore, take the high road and walk away from an opportunity where sin is involved, and you can rest assure that God has a better one for you.  Plus, after He sees the strength you just showed by walking away, the one He has for you will be even greater than you ever thought of, hoped for, or imagined!!

Trust God, and walk away from falling into sin to get what you want!!
