What is victim mentality? I use this term to describe a victim of some traumatic event where being a victim becomes a way of life or habitual. This person believes that others owe them and cease to do things for themselves that could help them achieve victory. Once a person is caught in its web, how do they get out? How can we become an overcomer? How can we get healed and move on with our life? VICTIM MENTALITY! Read the rest of this entry »

Passion & Purpose

Tags: anointing, burn out, desires, destiny, passion, purpose
What is passion and purpose? Where does it come from and how can we use it to get us closer to our destiny? How can we grab on to our destiny and still be led by Holy Spirit? Are we driven by our compassion and purpose or His compassion and purpose? Sometimes we can do the right things and still be wrong, usually because of the motive of our heart. We can even speak the truth in certain situations and still be wrong because the timing was wrong. The walk of faith takes obedience rather than sacrifice. Passion & Purpose!

Fear Driven Or Love Led

Do we react to most things we see and make choices based on the fear that touches our heart? Like the bombs that went off at the Boston Marathon yesterday, how does it change our life? It is absolutely necessary to look at the situation and try to determine what changes we need to make, if any, but the choice that comes next is of utmost importance as it will either imprison us in a smaller place or set us free to rise above it.

Dangerous Distractions

The big D’s can shipwreck a successful journey and life. If the enemy can’t get us to quit, his next step is to distract us. There are so many things to do now-a-days. There are so many programs to become involved. A lot of these are even good. In discussing distractions though, it isn’t about good, rather we need to focus on what it best. DANGEROUS DISTRACTIONS!

Sometimes we are in the right place at the right time and things are just awesome. Janiece and I were inside the Garden Of The Gods welcome center in Colorado Springs looking at postcards to purchase to send back home when I just thought to myself, “It sure would be great if I could take some photos like these. I am sure these photos were taken by people who live here who had the time to find these perfect moments.” After we went outside, I took a few more shots and then went back to the hotel. As I was cropping the image to share with some people, I was amazed at what I had captured. The Lord heard the cry of my heart and gave me one of those moments. HEAVENS DECLARE…
Courage To Succeed

In each country there are problems. The scenery is different, but people are still people. Each of our problems are unique and strangely similar to others. In desiring to live a good life we all struggle with opposing forces around us. Some live in the midst of war and battle while others live safe and secure. Each have their own problems to face. What will we do? How will we overcome? COURAGE TO SUCCEED… Read the rest of this entry »

Pioneers In Our Generation

Our trip from Texas to Colorado last week was a long one indeed, 1250 miles, but I couldn’t help but think of what it would have been like a hundred or more years ago to go this route. It took single individuals sometimes years to blaze these trails and over the years some of these trails have become highways and expressways. We can travel at legal speeds of around 75+ mph where they walked and scouted for months and years. Read the rest of this entry »
Excuses

What are excuses? Webster’s defines excuses as “Attempt to lessen the blame attaching to (a fault or offense); seek to defend or justify.” Why can’t we simply say, “I just didn’t want to do it,” when it applies. Someone may ask us to do something we don’t want to do and we agree because we don’t want to tell them “no” and risk them being disappointed or upset with us. Then we offer up an excuse when we don’t do it. EXCUSES… Read the rest of this entry »

The devil says, “I am going to be like God.” God simply smiles and replies, “I Am God!” End of story! It is the epic story that has caused man to struggle with his identity for ages and generations. What is it about this story before the beginning of time that has caused a cosmic war since? I AM GOD… Read the rest of this entry »
Laughing With God

What do you mean Laughing With God? I mean we should be laughing at the things the Lord laughs at. We need to line up/agree with Him. Why wouldn’t we? If He thinks it’s a laughable matter, then perhaps He would like us to join in with Him and make it a family affair. We know that He rejoices over us with singing. We know that He protects us, so just what is this we are always hearing about our enemy? Laugh in the face of danger! Laugh at those who think they have the upper hand! Laugh! Laugh! Laugh!

How do the words bold, gentle, protective, and ferocious fit together? We are told in some circles, that all we have to do is just love people. That’s what Jesus would do, right? How do we define that mysterious word, ‘love’? What does it really mean? What does it mean in the context we are using it? There are different meanings for the word love based on its use.

What kind of house are we building? Where are we building it? We wouldn’t just build it anywhere, right? Have we considered our spiritual house? How are we building it? What kind is it? What kind of foundation does it have? Since our spiritual house will last for eternity, surely we are giving it more thought and preparation, aren’t we? HOUSE ON SAND… Read the rest of this entry »
Kingdom Connected Or Islands In The Sea

Are we connected to the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ or are we just islands in the sea? We can even have a lot of connections, with a lot of friends and networks, but we might still be just a bigger island in the sea. The Lord gave me a simple illustration below to help bring more understanding to what He was saying to me. This can apply to different spheres of our lives including us personally, in business or work, in group settings and even in local churches.

One of the things Jesus dealt with during His earthly ministry was the spiritual realm. So what does that have to do with me? Everything, and also it has to do with those around us. Jesus could see in the spiritual realm. He knew when He was speaking to the person or when a demonic spirit was speaking through the person to Him. The disciples also knew. There are a lot of Christians who are familiar with this too as well as a lot of others. What about you? IS IT ME… Read the rest of this entry »

Ok, I just had to write about this topic. Someone said it yesterday and I thought, ‘Yes, they’re right, in a sense.’ About three o’clock this morning I was awake in bed for the next few hours thinking about that and saw a story that might shed some light on the subject. Are Christians really weird? Or are there things in nature that might be able to tell the story better than an explanation? CHRISTIANS ARE WEIRD… Read the rest of this entry »

Walking side by side means simply that. Why do people in general want to be on top or over someone else? I believe it generally has to do with wounds. A whole and healed person is secure and doesn’t have to put up these defenses. Wounded people always do. SIDE BY SIDE… Read the rest of this entry »
