God Has Smiled On You

Its so easy to get consumed by the things we need or even the things we want. Wondering, wishing & praying for God to show up & make a way. While in God's timing His will, will prevail. One must not lose sight of His previous track record. My song of the week pick says, "God Has Smiled On Me". It doesn't say He just smiled on Sunday, Wednesdays & Fridays. Yet this is an ongoing occurrence. Recognize who we're discussing here. A man who never sleeps, takes breaks, forgets, or miss anything going on. So take a minute to reflect. As you reflect I'm sure there are soooooo many situations and circumstances that you can say, "yea God definitely has been smiling on me". You see everything isn't about God making these big financial ways, getting a house and so forth. Yet, we face small issues everyday where we simply just say thank you Jesus. Examples include: not getting in a car accident, peace, being able to handle a situation with someone else without going off, favor, strength, courage, perseverance, family, friends, joy & God's love. Take a listen to my song of the week pick (posted Monday) and be encouraged because God Has Smiled On You!

Word Up Wednesday

And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
Deuteronomy 8:2 (KJV)

Keep and live out the entire commandment that I'm commanding you today so that you'll live and prosper and enter and own the land that God promised to your ancestors. Remember every road that God led you on for those forty years in the wilderness, pushing you to your limits, testing you so that he would know what you were made of, whether you would keep his commandments or not. He put you through hard times. He made you go hungry. Then he fed you with manna, something neither you nor your parents knew anything about, so you would learn that men and women don't live by bread only; we live by every word that comes from God's mouth. Your clothes didn't wear out and your feet didn't blister those forty years. You learned deep in your heart that God disciplines you in the same ways a father disciplines his child. 
Deuteronomy 8:1-5 (Message)

Death, Burial & Ressurection

The Death...
Continue to kill our flesh daily. If those desires don't line up with the Word of God then if you don't kill them first they will kill you. Not only kill you but kill you with no hope of life (flatline). In other words... It's not all about a physical death but a mental one.

The Burial...
6 feet under is where some things need to be. When delivered from people, places & things leave them where we left them. It may be hard to say goodbye but guess what you will say hello to will be far greater than what you just buried.

The Ressurection...
It's time to get up and walk in your new season! Don't be scurred to be who God created you to be. You have purpose to fulfill that God's given not man given. Live to to please Him. No matter what may come the blood has already been shed and covers you. You are Peculiar & royalty. Speak Like It... Think Like It... Act Like It...

Word Up Wednesday

26Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. 27Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. 28And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 29And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! 30And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.31And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
Matthew 27: 26-31 (KJV)

Then he pardoned Barabbas. But he had Jesus whipped, and then handed over for crucifixion.The soldiers assigned to the governor took Jesus into the governor's palace and got the entire brigade together for some fun. They stripped him and dressed him in a red toga. They plaited a crown from branches of a thornbush and set it on his head. They put a stick in his right hand for a scepter. Then they knelt before him in mocking reverence: "Bravo, King of the Jews!" they said. "Bravo!" Then they spit on him and hit him on the head with the stick. When they had had their fun, they took off the toga and put his own clothes back on him. Then they proceeded out to the crucifixion.
Matthew 27:26-31 (The Message)

Word Up Wednesday

And He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.
Mark 14:36 (KJV)

Going a little ahead, he fell to the ground and prayed for a way out: "Papa, Father, you can—can't you?—get me out of this. Take this cup away from me. But please, not what I want—what do you want?"
Mark 14:36 (Message)

Crazy Faith

Do you have crazy faith?!?! Meaning believing no matter the circumstance or situation that God will make a way. Even when the impossible seems impossible you still believe. Not doubting or wavering yet standing on God's Word. Faith that looks the devil in the face and says nice try but I still believe God. The kind of faith that folks call you crazy because you really believe that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above you could ever ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). The kind of faith that allows you to keep the limits off of God so He may move and have His way in your life. Want that crazy faith? You got it! JUST BELIEVE!!!

Sometimes our faith will make a fool out of us in the eyes of people, but once it manifest they're the only ones that look foolish. Believe! @PastorYPJ

Your assignment isn't just a great idea. It's strength 4 someone's struggle. It's God's answer 2 a prayer that's yet 2 be prayed. @hartramsey
