Share the joy.

“Then they said to each other, “We’re not doing right.  This is the day of good news and we are keeping it to ourselves…”

2 Kings 7:9

Share the joys of your life, share the goodness of God in your life… share the magic - the world needs to hear it.  The world needs to know that prayers, hopes, and dreams do come true.   Therefore, share the joy, my friends, it's good, it brings forth light, and most of all, when we share the joy, our God is magnified.

Whether mental, emotional, or physical...

Whether mental, physical, or emotional, Jesus can, and will, heal it all!! 

(Adapted from Matthew 4:23-25 MSG)

God's Word is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow! Jesus will heal whatever ails us.  However, and this is key, we must be the ones to go to Jesus through prayer, petition, and thanksgiving, and make all our requests know unto him (Phil. 6-7).  We cannot sit idly, (meekly), by and just hope that he notices us.  

My friend, Jesus notices every single one of us - he notices every hair on our head.  However, until we stand up (inside and out) in boldness and belief and prayer in Him, we will not receive his healing - his promises. 

So, stand - inside and out!  Call out to Jesus and through prayer tell him your ailments.  And through faith, believe that you are healed.   The moment you do - and this is a promise - your healing will begin.

The secret to being a great leader.

“They said, “If you will be a servant to this people, be considerate of their needs and respond with compassion, work things out with them, they’ll end up doing anything for you.”” +2 Chronicles 10:7, MSG

Great leaders start by serving others first.

Reverence for God.

"In the days of His flesh [Jesus] offered up definite, special petitions [for that which He not only wanted but needed]... and He was heard because of His reverence toward God [His godly fear, His piety, in that He shrank from the horrors of separation from the bright presence of the Father]." Hebrews 5:7 AMPC

When your revere God over and above all else, your prayers get heard - your prayers get answered.  Therefore, spend extra special time with God and let Him know how much you love Him just because He is Who He is, and when your time of want and/or need comes about, He'll hear you and He'll come running to your aid.

Away with evil, greed, and gossip!

"... If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry, satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like noonday.  The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs... you will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail." Isaiah 58:9-11

WOW - These verses in Isaiah give us the secret to getting out, and staying out, of ruts in life. I'm in!! Are you?  I hope so!

So, let's put the steps in a nutshell, so that we can easily remember:
Rid ourselves of any and all evil within us - How? By forgiving ourselves and others and giving it, and/or them, to God;
Help the hungry, the needy, the lonely, the oppressed;
Finally, keep our mouths shut if any derogatory, or negative, or slander-type words are about to come out of it, which is, more or less, gossip, hate, dislike, slanderish, offensive, hurtful, or negative words. 

Yep, three simple steps - steps we should easily be able to do, to turn our lives around.  So, begin with me today to hold ourselves accountable to this, because if we truly want a blessed, amazing, abundant, fulfilling life, then these steps are a must, God's Word wouldn't say it if they weren't.
I know my life is never going to be the same!  How about you?  Are you ready? If so, then, grab hold, and let's do this together in Christ - we will not be disappointed.
