There is a new day coming!

Greetings!

My pastor preached this morning that we are all pregnant…with possibility, with power, and with praise. We cannot look at what the world is doing, and think that it is over…it is not over until God says it is over. Every day there is a shooting somewhere…in places that you would never have imagined. It seems like there is no safe place, but the devil is a liar. The enemy does not get to win. We will not live in fear and oppression…the Bible says that if God is for us …who can stand against us. It also says that we are more than conquerors. Praise God!

I was speaking with one of my besties, and she was saying that she feels like she is coming out from under a cloud. She said she felt like she wanted to quit everything. The funny thing is that I have been feeling the same way. And, I don’t think we are alone. I believe that we are coming out of that dark place...that dry place…that place of intense heat. We not only survived…we thrived. We are stronger, bolder, and more determined than we have ever been. I am so excited about this new season. God has begun to awaken old gifts, and stir up new ones.

I pray for the anointing of the Holy Spirit of God to rise up in this season to push God’s people to higher heights, and greater depths in Him. I pray that God’s glory will fill the earth, and His people will walk boldly into the life God has ordained before the beginning of time. There are a lot of things going on in the earth right now, but none of it can stop…interfere or abort what God has established. Keep holding up the banner.

Until next time…

Be blessed

Imagination...

Greetings!

This is the first weekend of December, and I am beginning to feel the expectation of Christmas in the air. Most people are feeling more festive…nicer…more tolerant than usual. I love this time of year, because people seem to let down their guard more. They allow themselves to dream a little more…to believe a little more…to be more childlike…

When I was young, I used to imagine myself being all kinds of things…a singer (that would not surprise the people I know), a hairdresser, a nurse…the possibilities were endless. The thing is…I have given that up for a reality that leaves me wanting. Who said that I couldn’t be any of those things right now if I wanted to? Why did I give up on my dreams? I believe there are thousands out there just like me...that wake up every day wishing they had done something or could do something different.

Well, this is the season to make it happen. That dream that is deep down inside of you...the one that no matter how hard you try to quench it…will not go away…this is the time. Don’t let your age, or finances, or fear or anything else that tries to dampen your spirit stand in the way. Find out what you need to do…and do it.

In the last blog, I talked about how quickly time is moving. We do not have time to sit and wait for that day….that day is here. God has given us the Holy Spirit to help us, and we need to take advantage of that. He has given us influence, resources, and a limitless amount of imagination. The Bible says that God knew us before we were ever born, and I believe He planted that dream inside of us. That means that if He is the creator of the dream...He is more than able to make that dream come true. 

Until next time…

Be blessed
