TENACITY

"TENACITY' is the ability to be s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d, and yet bounce back; make a comeback. Never breaking; non-snap. 2 Cor. 4:8,9 reads:
"We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed. . ."
Do YOU have tenacity???

UNDER PRESSURE

"RUN" to Bible Study when offered at your church. Better yet, "beat it" there. Front seat and center!
The Word IN YOU will STAND under pressure.

Our "BIO"

Everyone has a "bio" (biography); a description, a history of who you are. As Believers in Christ at large, our "bio" perhaps should read that WE are a:
I CONTAGIOUS people - we should 'affect' everyone we meet. Others should 'catch fire' from us.

II OUTRAGEOUS people - ridiculous about our passion and love for Christ.

III COURAGEOUS people - bold in sharing the good news and gospel of Jesus Christ.

I mean, think about it. Afterall, that's 'who we are'.

HAVE A STRESS-LESS LIFE

I'm not sure about you, but I love life even moreso when things are made so simple. No one wants complications. But when things do get a bit cloudy (and they do), you can "simplify" your life. Here's a tip how:
INVITE the Word into your life. It fits easily into all areas. (Your home, marriage, children, finances, career, your social, and more).
INVOLVE the Word more in your life. Embrace its wisdom, truths, soundness, understanding. It even yields answers, direction, clarity, and more!
INVEST in the Word for your life. God's plan for your life is already mapped out for you. Just walk out your destiny. Trust me. Better yet, trust God's Word. It's not risky; nothing shady. Ever.
Now get IN the Word, and learn how to WALK IT OUT.
And, ahhhhh, yes! You CAN have a stress-less life.

A MUST HAVE

One of many issues that lies closest to the heart is 'relationships'. However, there is a price and a process in having a healthy, flourishing relationship. Time, work, and patience are only a few of the components that bring about a balance of soundness and maturity. Of late, I have seriously become concerned about our 'relationship' as believers with the Father. Our actions and reactions toward life, daily living, and moreso, each other speak much, much louder than words. Now, I'm beginning to wonder, do we really have a sincere prayer life with the Father? (Notice I didn't say 'deep') But a real time of prayer spent in His presence? Prayer produces change. But we are not changing.
Let me recommend that we enter a relationship that is so blissful and rewarding that it stands second to none. One that expands to all areas in your life, even the dark and secret places. Where your heart will become established and settled, rid of stress. A time of prayer where you can explore levels and more depths of just who He really IS to you. Expand, establish, and explore your prayer life with the Father. You'll never be the same!

Good Evening

I pray you had a wonderful day today, a grandiose blessed day. I hope you got off to church today, and had a chance to hear some Word for your life. It's totally important you know. Now double back and get some rest for tonite, and have a powerful tomorrow. I love you and am praying for you. Stay focused, and stay 5 steps ahead of your adversary. Dominate! Catch you later!

NOT TO FORGET

HEY THERE!
If today is 'payday' for you, don't forget FIRST to take your tithes out. Yes!! Pay your tithes and by the way, give God an offering, too.
What??!?? You can't afford NOT to tithe. Deut. 8:18 says, "...Remember it's He (the LORD) that gives you power (or even the ability) to get wealth..." In other words, it's God's money in the FIRST PLACE. Just a little reminder. smile.
Why did you not know. . . Prov. 13:21 "Evil pursueth (chases, follows hard after) sinners. But another translation says, "WEALTH chases (pursues, follows hard after) the righteous.
So don't labor (work hard) to just be rich. It's the Lord who prospers and promotes you anyway. Let this 'payday' be a 'blessed day' for you. I'll catch you later.

STAY UP TODAY!

BELIEVERS everywhere today!
Stay up! UP! Up in your worship. Stay UP in your praise. Get UP in your thotlife. Stay 5 steps ahead of your adversary today. Stay UP in your Word. You must get there, stay there, but stay UP! UP! "Lift UP your heads, O ye gates". . . God is UP! Everything in Him is UP! "...and the King of Glory shall come in" (Psa. 24:7) You want the Lord, your King, to come "in". In is where YOU are. Stay UP today!
Let's keep each other UP!

SIMPLY REMARKABLE!

There is always something oh so remarkable about God! He looks for opportunities to perform, to do miracles, even in our lives. He has such a way about himself that indeed He looks for situations that have been pronounced dead, shut-down, over and done with. . .so HE can do the
1 UNTHINKABLE - who would've thot of this??
2 UNQUESTIONABLE - how could this be??
3 UNIMAGINABLE - eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard, neither entered into the heart of man, the things which the Lord has prepared for them that love Him!!
It's ok, you can get excited now!!

ODD but TRUE

If you live in HIS PRESENCE,
operate in HIS POWER,
walk in HIS PRINCIPLES,
Then you'll understand HIS PURPOSE . . .for your life. -Remarkable!

GET YOURS!

So many times we pass up opportunities on receiving ALL of what God has for us as His children. Being the real and true caring Father He is, He actually wants us to have His best. Psalms 81:10 establishes 2 beautiful reminders: 1 WHO He is to us 2 His REWARD to us. We are NOT to forget that we exist because of Him; HE brought us out of whatever our Egypt (bondage) may have been. Then He rewards us by telling us to totally trust, rely, depend on Him (what/who are YOU trusting in, depending on??) simply by 'opening our mouths w i d e', and 'HE will fill it'. Begin to open your mouth, wide, even wider, and watch your Heavenly Father FILL it. After all, the blessing of the Lord maketh rich, and addeth no sorrow with it.(Prov. 10:22) Now is a good time, the best time. . . GET YOURS!

"LET IT HAPPEN!"

Realizing the shortened span we usually have for reading, here is a little 'tid-bit' for your thots: whatever God has for you (say me), just stand back, and LET IT HAPPEN! ! Without limits, without resistance, no brakes! Just. . .ahhhhh. . .Let it happen! This is your year!

DON'T WASTE TIME! ! !

There IS no time like the present. We've entered the 3rd month of this new year, and yet the Father has given us a "FRESH START". This year being 2007, seven is the number of completion, which means whatever God started (began) in your life, He's more than able to finish (complete) in your life, this year. So dream again, live again! The promises, witty inventions, new ideas and more that He's given you; see it all come to pass THIS year. Steer clear from 'dream-killers', but prance all you like in front of your enemies and haters alike! Let God's 'fresh wind' blow on you, and by all means, 'go all the way! (Quitting is never optional) remember . . . DON'T WASTE TIME this year!
