When you’re comfortable where you are, that becomes WHO you are. GOD made you to progress, to move ahead (from glory to glory), to advance, NOT to remain the same! Your spirit (the real you) is hungry for growth, hungry for more, but the devil will bring an outside force called FEAR to intimidate you, paralyze you to make you change your mind. The devil will also bring negativity to stop you through those that you love! Realize, you don’t have to accept that! They just don’t know who you really are. Pray for them & keep it moving. Stay focused! You can’t let anything or anybody stop you! You’re on a mission. Have you ever felt hungry & after you’d eaten, you still felt hungry? That’s because your physical being was not hungry, it was your SPIRIT being! It’s hungry for spiritual food & advancement! Your spirit is fueling your will & your will is supplying you your dreams. Your dreams are GOD’s way to encourage you to NEVER GIVE UP!! Never be satisfied where you are when GOD made you WHO you are! There’s more to you than what you (or others) see! GOD want you to seek HIM to be who HE created you to BE & that’s when you’ll understand your life’s purpose!!

When bird droppings get on your car, as gross as it is, it must be IMMEDIATELY removed. The sooner you remove it, the easier it is to be removed. When you wait, it gets rock hard. The most important thing is… Bird droppings have acid that will remove the paint off your car. So, if you delay in removing the droppings, not only it will be harder to remove, but you risk damaging your car. The sooner you deal with it, the better! That’s the same way you must look at ANGER! The Bible tells us to be angry but sin not! Anger turns into sin when you delay or refuse to deal with your anger. Delayed or refused anger can damage relationships, your health, mental, emotional, & spiritual beings. Nothing or nobody is worth you rushing yourself to an early grave! Just as you can’t prevent a bird from crapping on your car, you can prevent damages on your car with IMMEDIATE attention. That’s the same way with anger. In life, things & people will get you angry, but, don’t let the “bird droppings” of life set & allow that acid (sin) to penetrate within you. Quickly acknowledge it, turn to GOD, ask HIM to help you to deal with it & WIPE IT OFF!!

As I was in traffic, a buzzard was flying in front of my car. As I kept moving, it kept flying in front of me. Eventually, as I kept driving, the buzzard flew away. GOD showed me that the buzzard was meant to #1) Get remove my attention from driving & to focus on the buzzard, #2 Make me miss my exit & 3) To intimidate or place fear (because of the myth of the buzzard). Not only was I bigger than the buzzard, my car was bigger than the buzzard & I. The key thing about it was… I was protected in my car. In life, your enemies (buzzards) will come to intimidate, put fear, or get you off focus. Stay in your car, stay on your path, & keep driving! You’re covered & protected! #No weapon formed against you shall prosper!
Daily Devotion for June 21, 2016 (Part 1)
What is normal? Something you see often, done often, done easily, something anyone (or everyone) can or will do. What is abnormal? Something you DON’T see often, something NOT done often, NOT done easily, NOT everyone can or will do. When you step out of fear & your comfort zone & walk in faith, folks may call you weird, crazy or foolish for pursuing your dreams. Not everyone will understand your vision, but don’t let that stop you. Your life will not feel fulfilled until you pursue your purpose & dreams. Understand, GOD didn’t give it to everybody. HE gave it to you! Don’t seek for approval or a pat on the back from others or listen to folks who aren’t fulfilling their purpose. The graveyard is already full with many purposes untouched & unpursued. Don’t add yours to the grave population. Seek strength & instructions from GOD & start in fulfilling your purpose TODAY!

Ask yourself this …. Will you be remembered a hundred years from now? Live a life where your life would produce life to many & your legacy is so powerful that it’s a present to others, even after your presence is gone! What kind of impact are you making to your family, friends & to this world?

It’s upsetting when somebody does a crime against you or hurt you & no one is arrested. Moments like those make you want to take matters into your own hands & get revenge. That’s the time you really have to trust GOD. Nothing happens without HIS knowledge. Nothing happens that HE didn’t allow. No matter how long it had been, or if anyone witnessed it, justice will be served. There is no statute of limitation, mistaken identity or cold case with GOD. Truth is ALWAYS revealed! But the KEY thing to ALWAYS remember is.. You STILL must forgive your enemies! Forgive those who hurt you. GOD told us to pray for our enemies. It’s easy to pray for our friends, but true strength & character is revealed when you can forgive & give grace to those who had hurt you. Allow GOD to deal with justice in HIS timing & in HIS way. Remember, it’s not the individual who hurt you. but the spirit that’s within them who hurt you. Hurt folk hurt folks! GOD can use that situation so you could stand & intercede for them to be delivered & set free. Always keep people up in prayer, even our enemies! That may be their way in seeing the true love of GOD & coming to CHRIST!

Say this out loud “I am NOT my pain, I am NOT my past, I AM part of GOD’S plan! In JESUS NAME… AMEN!”
Daily Devotion for June 16, 2016
You’re trying to figure out why some folks do what they do or think the way they do…. STOP IT! You’re stressing yourself out & concerned about things that GOD told you to give to HIM! When you try to figure it out or do things yourself, you’re telling (or showing) GOD that you don’t trust HIM in that area. Rely on HIS ability & not your ability in dealing with situations & people. Life is too short in worrying about foolishness. You live the life of obedience to GOD that HE told you to & do your part regardless if they do their part or not! GOD will bless you & work on your behave through YOUR obedience!
