Mindset Part 3

Today I did something that I never, ever thought I'd do. I had alot of help from the "Father" and believe me if it had not been for him, it wouldn't have happened, EVER.......

If you have something that you "think" is impossible, know that through "Christ Jesus" all is possible.

I have many other hurdles to overcome and with God on my side, I will not fail.



Be Blessed!

Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know recognize and acknowledge him, and he will direct and make straight and plain your paths.

Proverbs 3: 5-6

Advancing in Faith by Pastor Charles Stanley

I heard a great sermon by Charles Stanley today, called "Advancing in Faith".

Building faith brings a "Test" Below are things that pastor Stanley stated that you should do in order to grow your faith.

• Meditate on the word of God (The bible is fuel for our faith)
• Apply principles of God's word
• Observe the ways of God (God uses suffering to strengthen our faith)
• Observe God's work in other people's life
• Obey God and leave all the consequences to him (Do what he says and believe that god will work it out for your good)
• Answered Prayers (Pray with expectations & confidence-you can do anything that God has called you to do)
• Worship
• Confess faith failures (God will not cut you off because you fail-God is a forgiving God)

I'll be referring back to this OFTEN... God wants us to trust him

"Practice What You Preach"

                                            
                                           


My blog entry is a little long today, but please bear with me :)

Sighing>>>I keep learning the same valuable lesson Over and Over again... You know the saying " you will be given the same repeated test until you pass it..

Here's my story.... I was upset for weeks and just plain Negative about something that I had to do that I just did not want to do; honestly, it was mainly because I was fearful of failure.

Over the past couple weeks, I had created all kinds of doubts, possible problematic scenarios in my mind based upon what I've observed-seen as it relates to the situation.

God says,  "We Walk By Faith, Not By Sight"

2 Corinthians 5:7

What I expected to be a horrible situation was actually a blessing in disguise. I'm now  asking myself, how can I continue to pray for godliness but continue to have little faith.

I always tell my sons, be positive, look on the bright side etc...

Valuable lesson learned; "Practice what you preach"

Will I fail this test again? possibly but I know my faith has Grown.

Mark 11:22-24

New International Version (NIV)

²² “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. ²³ “Truly^[a] I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. ²⁴ Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

A GOOD SELF IMAGE

The below sermon by Joyce Meyer speaks about the importance of a Good Self Image. I really like this snippet because the message incorporates teaching on self love, endurance and patience.
 Enjoy!

Be Blessed!


 

UNIQUENESS

I've never been a social butterfly and/or been the person that everyone just loved and gravitated toward but at one time in my life i wished I were..

Not anymore! I love my corniness and loner persona; I'm a introvert, which is considered "Boring" to most and that's OK :)

I now embrace my uniqueness, it's what makes me, "ME". We all have something about us that others love and admire; we've probably been told but dismissed it because we didn't believe it ourselves.

Accept & Love your uniqueness and everyone that's important to you will too.

Be Blessed!
