God Will Show Up And Show Out!

“And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.” Hebrews‬ ‭10:25‬ ‭

Today's world teaches us that it's okay to not show up at church just because we are tired, don't feel the very best, don't feel like going, because it's a holiday weekend and we could have other plans,  the weather isn't perfect or we just aren't in the mood. That isn't how it's always been though, when Jesus walked the earth in His human form crowds came from all over just to be around Him, such as the woman with the blood issue that found Jesus and knew if she only touched His robe she would be healed. We can still feel that presence and touch the hem of His robe if we try to show up for Him. I'm not saying you have to be in church to be a Christian or to feel His presence but it is good to be a part of a church community to uplift, inspire and build you, it also makes our hope, faith, and trust grow. The Bible says where two or three are gathered together I am there in the midst, God wants us to have others to worship and pray with. Stop letting the enemy talk you out of your blessing, go to church, and get that healing, restoration, blessing, the chains broken, or whatever it is you need from God! Today, make a plan to go to church the next time the doors are open and stick to it, don't let the enemy or anyone else talk you out of it. Don't have a ride, then call a church member to pick you up, you're too tired make time to take a nap after church, don't feel the best then go get your healing at the altar. Don't let excuses sent from the enemy ruin what God has waiting for you on that altar! If you will only show up as you are, God is going to show out as we say in the South! He's going to go above and beyond for you. Get up and go! Here are some verses to reflect on today. “For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.”” Matthew‬ ‭18:20‬ ‭ “Now I will break the yoke of bondage from your neck and tear off the chains of Assyrian oppression.”” Nahum‬ ‭1:13‬ ‭ ““Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces; now he will heal us. He has injured us; now he will bandage our wounds.” Hosea‬ ‭6:1‬ ‭ “For she thought to herself, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.”” Mark‬ ‭5:28‬ ‭

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
