The world defines success by a person or thing that achieves desired aims or attains prosperity. The world defines failure by lack of success. When do you consider yourself obtaining success? Is it when you achieve fame or money? So many times, we define how successful we are by whether we achieve our goals. Those goals could include having several degrees, millions of dollars, or just worldwide fame. For a long time, we have allowed ourselves to believe that success only comes… Read more: Success within the Journey

Before there is a harvest there must be a seed to plant. We all pray and hope that our seeds grow firm like an Oak Tree. But to see the Oak tree the seed must be planted (written down), then watered (prayed over), given light (Spoken Life into) and space (room) to grow. 2) Water the seed = Pray over it (1 Thessalonians 5:16 – Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for… Read more: Faith for the Harvest pt.1

There will never be “the perfect time” to go for it or to start it. There is only the time that the Lord has set before you. Ephesians 5:15-16 “Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.”Every second, every minute, and every hour you have is an opportunity to share love, hope, and peace with others. Even if that second, minute, or hour consist of hard moments… Read more: Make The Most Of Every Opportunity

Don’t be so critical. Everyone makes mistakes. No one is exempt from making them either. We all have fallen short. We all have done things we wish we didn’t and said things we wish we could take back. You made your mistake. Now learn what you need to from it, get up, and start moving towards what the Lord has for you. There is still work to be done. There are people that are still counting on you to operate… Read more: Don’t be so critical

In today’s world just about everything can be prepared for us, delivered to us, or packaged for us the way we want it. So it becomes easy to adopt that expectation and bring it into our faith, our relationships, and our jobs. And when we conform to the world’s mentality we adopt the  “microwave mentality”. The “microwave mentality” means we want everything to happen quickly and at our pace. We want it when we ask for it and we don’t… Read more: Are you bringing the world’s mentality into your faith journey? 

Hebrews 12:1-2 (New International Version) “And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us..” We all have a race that has been marked out for us. The race set before you is necessary for growth and maturity. Along the journey there will be fatigue. As I matured I noticed that my fatigue wasn’t just from the journey itself. I realized that it can be more exhausting to run from the journey than it is to embrace the… Read more: Run your Race

There are about 86,400 seconds, about 1,440 minutes, and about 24 hours in a day. Think about all that time. How do you view the time that has been given to you. The time that is given to us are precious moments full of countless opportunities given by God to be a blessing to so many people. Opportunities to be used by God to bring someone or someplace hope, peace, love, and healing. We sometimes become so tied up in… Read more: How do you view the time you have?

Man’s love is conditional. It depends on the situation, the day, and even the person. It depends on the current emotion or state of the mind of the person giving it. It changes from day to day, season to season, and is inconsistent throughout the year. At any moment it can abandon you, it can die out, and it cause confusion. It can be taken over by anger, hate, and lust. It can become selfish and self-seeking.  Man’s love is… Read more: God’s Love > Man’s Love
