Get Comfortable being Uncomfortable

When you decide that you are ready to change your life and start living for Christ, you will see that you can not do the things that you use to do. If you are really living for Christ, you will not want to do the things that you use to do. Some people do not want to change because they are so use to doing things their way. Look at how you use to do things and ask yourself how far it got you. If you are still in the same place that you were last year or the year before last, then it may be time for a change. You may not feel comfortable doing things that your not use to, but these things may get you to where you need to be and where you want to be in life. If you want to get somewhere that you have never been, you have to do things that you have never done. Jesus loved us all unconditionally and HE did everything out of love. Try loving your neighbor or the poor as yourself. Go spend time with the needy or volunteer your time at the local mission. It may make you uncomfortable but it will begin to do something on the inside of you that will start to change the way you think and act. If you want to get out of situations that seem to have you trapped, you have to learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable. Pray to the Lord for strength and courage and believe that HE will give it to you and you will eventually see that it is not so uncomfortable doing something different.

Ephesians 5: 1-2

^{1 -2}Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn't love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.

Never Be A Victim of a Circumstance!

I read a scripture today that really spoke to me. I was a little down and confused about my situation, but the scripture cheered me up. The scripture was Ephesians 3 : 20 - 21 and it said
"God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us." This gave me the encouragement that I needed to keep the faith and continue to trust in the Lord God Almighty. Many of you may be going through somethings that have you down and questioning your path. Just remember that God is a good God and HE can do anything but fail. If you think that your situation is so bad that there is nothing good that can happen, pray to the Lord and ask HIM to give you the strength and the faith to make it out of the situation. NEVER BE A VICTIM OF A CIRCUMSTANCE, EVER!!!! God can do ALL things and HE can change your situation around in an instant. You have to make sure that your spiritually prepared and ready for the change. Look at ever aspect of your life and make sure that you are doing the right things. You may think that you are doing everything the right way, but take a serious look and make sure that you are on the straight and narrow path. When you do that, I GUARANTEE that God will deliver you!

Let's Get Reeeeaaaddddy to Ruuummmbbllleeee!

It seems that when you try to do right that EVERYTHING seems to go wrong. The devil will try his best to knock you off track. There is a scripture in Galatian 6:9-10 that says "So let's not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don't give up, or quit. Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith". Do not EVER get tired of doing the right thing. There is a spiritual warfare going on and you must put on the FULL armor of God. The Belt of Truth, The Breastplate of Righteousness, The Gospel of Peace, The Shield of Faith, The Helmet of Salvation and The Sword of the Spirit. The full armor of God will help you fight the battle against the devil. Stay strong, faithful and prayerful and God will be there for you in your time of need. When you do good, your not suppose to do it to get something in return. You should do good because it is the right thing to do. Doing good because you want to will always pay off in the end. Never stop doing good.


Galatians 6: 9-10

^{9 -10}So let's not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don't give up, or quit. Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith.

Ephesians 6:14

¹⁴ So stand firm. Put the belt of truth around your waist. Put the armor of godliness on your chest. ¹⁵ Wear on your feet what will prepare you to tell the good news of peace. ¹⁶ Also, pick up the shield of faith. With it you can put out all of the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷ Put on the helmet of salvation. And take the sword of the Holy Spirit. The sword is God's word.
