Where’s your Focus?
What’s up beautiful people and others? I have a brief word for you on today that is going to require reflection. Our topic today is “Where is your Focus?”
There are so many things going on in the world today and even amongst those called to be watchers or watchmen for the body of Christ. Some of you may have jumped into the drama of these situations and some of you may have sidestepped the mess. To those of you who have chosen to side step the drama that takes some maturity and you should be proud of yourself. It’s very easy to get into the drama that takes place consistently almost as if the distractions are intentional. Whether you are aware or not our intentions matter a great deal. Meaning we have to be extra mindful of them. Where our mind goes the body follows.
As children of God our focus is to be on the Father. I myself as a child of God have to be very mindful and at times I simply have accepted that I just am not always. Honest. Yet, the extra effort is required to make sure I do my best to be more intentional about what I allow my spirit to digest. Just as our bellies can be sensitive to certain foods our spirits are indeed the same. Hebrews 12:1-2 states “Therefore since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith….” (NIV)
We perfect our faith by keeping our eyes on the one who perfects it. When we get so entangled in the drama of others we are digesting and entangling ourselves in the mess of the people we watch. Our job is to finish our race. As believers we all have personal access to Christ directly. Ephesians 2:18 tells us “For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.” (NIV) Oftentimes some people have loyalty to a person and forget that the one that has established or created that individual is where the true power lies. Regardless of what’s happening around us our focus has to stay on Christ.
I’m not sure if any of you are familiar with track but it’s important that you stay in your lane when running your race. Every step counts. Turning to look back, being too concerned with the person running next to you, or not properly breathing can all jam you up in the race. You have to stay focused on the finish line. As believers are walk with Christ is the same. There is nothing going on in this world today that God didn’t already have set in stone. The drama, the gossip, the hate crimes, loving your neighbor, etc etc. However, if we get to wrapped up in some of these things it could distort our perception of the race we are to be running.
Sometimes what someone else is called to won’t make sense to you but you have to keep running. Sometimes, the race might seem rigged in the oppositions favor but we serve a God that doesn’t lose. Only when we spend quality time with the father can we know his voice. Can we know his ways. The more we do so the more the father naturally humbles us, the more we are easily able to discern the wolves from the sheep. What are you focused on? I hope you can say that it’s the father. I hope you can say that you are still committed to the race. Stay focused on the finish line.
Till next time good people and others.
Love ya,
later.
Pharoah is Betting on Your Blindness !
What up good people! How are you doing on this lovely Sunday? It’s been a pretty chill day for me but overall, it’s been well. I hope the same for you as well.
For a few days now I have been meditating on the destruction of Pharaoh. Believe it or not, his destruction came from a simple action that many people don’t realize they are scared to take. And while you are sitting there recalling the story what I want you to keep in mind is not the plagues Moses called down on Pharoah, I want you to focus on the Israelites.
When you recall the story of God using Moses to free his people. He sent Moses because God’s children were crying out (praying) about the hard labour that Pharoah had assigned to them as a manipulation to keep them in line. See Pharoah knew that the Israelites were greater and mightier than them. He knew he had to come up with a plan to keep them distracted from their true power. So what did he do? He increased their labor. He figured that if the Israelites stayed in bondage with hard labor that they would never see just how mighty in number and strength that they were.
When you read the story in Exodus ….. you see that his plan actually worked for a time. The one thing that Pharoah didn’t expect is that the Israelites would quit. See his plans ended up triggering the chain reaction that led to his ultimate demise despite his manipulations. Let me lay that out for you.
The Israelites cried out. They were praying to God about being free from their hard labor.
That triggered God’s hand in sending Moses to talk to Pharoah.
Moses began sending plagues because of Pharoah’s disobedience in letting the Israelites go.
The Israelites took action and stopped working.
Pharoah began to pursue the Israelites and Moses.
Pharoah ends up drowning in the red sea.
See, Pharaoh could have avoided his destruction had he let the Israelites go the first time Moses asked. However, what I want to focus on is #4. The Israelites took action and stopped working.
Pharoah wants and needs your labor. He needs it to maintain his appearance of power. Yet, he knows you, the Israelites, are more and mightier than him. (Yes, that is a blog on this page as well. Check it out when you have time.) See, we are living in a time where people want to fight and protest but they are scared to take the ultimate step of protest because they fear how they would look to others too much. The ultimate protest that the Israelites took was to remove themselves from the hard labor of Pharoah.
Why is that important to take into account? Let me give it to you from this perspective. Let’s say Moses called the plagues opened a door of opportunity for the Israelites to be free but they didn’t take it. Ultimately, they would have remained in bondage, possibly also been destroyed along with Pharaoh, etc etc right. The Israelites had to want to be free and take the steps to be so when the opportunity presented itself. Pharaoh only has power when he has slaves! He is betting on you remaining blind to the fact that you are in bondage to maintain his power.
God wants you free. Free from hard labor. Free from bondage. Freedom comes thru relationship with the father. Thru adoption by the Father. Pharoah only has power because you refuse to take your power back. Imagine Pharoah telling you what you could name your creation. Bahaha, please! Maybe, that’s just me. If you choose to stay blind to your power. Pharoah will continue to benefit off of your blindness.
You have the power. Will you use it?
Love ya,
Later.
Just this One will Cover them All !
What’s up good people and others? Pray you have had a great weekend thus far. That you were able to get rest (for those of you who keep the sabbath) & that you treated yourself to some type of enjoyment. Even if it was simply chilling at home.
I came across something interesting in the word that I wanted to share with you all. Hopefully it helps you along your journey of elevation as it has helped me.
I have a video on my YouTube channel that highlights how our love for God is dependent on if we keep his commandments. The video is titled “The Clause on Love” & it is under the Live section on my Ls2Elevation YouTube channel. In it I speak on John 14:15 & how God wants to see our love thru the way in which we keep his commandments. It’s a pretty good video. Make sure you check it out.
In total there are ten commandments in the Bible that are referenced frequently. These are the commandments God wants us to keep. When you read thru them all you might spend some time self reflecting on whether or not you have truly been showing God you love him. I know there are some commandments that I have not always kept. Some that I have struggled to fully get right. Others I am grateful that I can check the box showing I am able. Yet did you know that there is ONE action that will cover them all? Can you guess what it is?
Alright, alright, let me tell you.
It is “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as you love yourself.” (Galatians 5:14) Seems simple enough right? Yet, when we look out into the world today in 2025, the love shown is all questionable. Imagine being able to show God you love him simply by treating others how you want to be treated. Many fail at this. Maybe, it’s because they struggle to love themselves. Maybe their hearts have waxed cold. Maybe, no love was shown to them. There honestly could be endless possibilities on why people choose not to love their neighbor. Yet, it is the simple thing that God desires for his children to do to show that they truly love him.
If there was more love in the world instead of hate, jealousy, envy and covetousness the world would be a completely different place. People would be more willing to help others, more willing to look past some of the simple things that people get into arguments and competitions about. It’s interesting when you read the next verse in Galatians, verse 5:15, it states, “But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.” Is that not exactly what is happening in the world today? Nation against nation? This group blaming that group. Cultural hate for others instead of embracing our differences.
In one action, we as children of God can reciprocate the love that God has shown us.
The bigger question for many people to ask themselves. Is do you love yourself? How can you love your neighbor if you don’t.
Whelp, y’all be blessed. Have an amazing day.
Love ya, later,
Shya.
Hold on Sweetheart! Fear don’t stop the Assignment!
Heeyy Beautiful People! How you doing? How you been?
Listen, let me tell you something real quick. If God has called you to something gone ahead and pick up the assignment. Let me tell you why. I’m not sure if you have ever read or heard about the two individuals who got to see Jesus on the mountain. (Luke 9:30) Moses and Elijah. But ugh if you haven’t let me give you a real brief summary.
So, Moses was called by God to free the Israelites from Pharoah in Egypt. He ended up killing an Egyptian and running away at one point. Felt like he was unqualified for the position God desired to give him and ended up being hated by the very people who he was called to help. Crazy right? (You can find more thorough info on Moses in Exodus.) Now Elijah was also called by God. He was a mighty prophet used by God to battle Baal and Jezebel. He was successful in his calling and even had a student he taught. Yet, at one point in his mission he ran away out of fear of his assignment. (You can find more info on Elijah in the books of Kings in the Bible.)
You might be wondering why any of this matters. Well, there will be those of you who are called in this end time to do a great work in this earth. What you may be called to do might seem a little overwhelming and a little scary to put it frankly. You know walking up righteously and serving Jesus Christ isn’t something that is looked at as Grammy worthy. But are the Grammies even really worthy to be celebrated at this point? I mean, if you have the funds, you can buy yourself a Grammy if you want one. Any who, back on subject. Walking for Christ in these last days we can expect to be hated. John 15:18-19 tells us so. Simply put it is because we Are NOT Like them!
Some of the beautiful things you can hopefully take away from the stories of Elijah and Moses is that the fear they had didn’t stop God from elevating them. Tough right? See, some folks believe that if you scared you can’t still go hard for Christ. However, we have some of the greatest examples of exactly that when we look at the assignments of Elijah and Moses. The fear they had didn’t stop the assignment and God still elevated them despite the fear they might have moved with.
So, if God has called you and the assignment seems daunting, pick up that fear and strap up. It’s the elevation we are on a mission to produce in this earth. Sweetheart, we have work to do. Believe it or not, doing it scared won’t make you miss your elevation. The fear you might begin with could be the very thing that propels you and your assignment to the highest elevation!
Love ya, later!
Planted in the Fire 🔥
Hey beautiful people and Others. Hope all is going according to God's plan for your life. I wanted to come and share something with you. I have now been cyberstalked, gangstalked, harassed for almost 4 years. Which is wild considering the extent folks have gone to in attempt to disturb or rattle me.
Earlier today as I was jumping on YouTube Live my father began to talk to me about being “Planted in the Fire”. He began to remind me of the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abendego. How the people stood by and watched as Nebechadnezzar threw them in the fire because of their stance to stand 10 toes and go against the King's worship of his golden statue ! (Boy, do we see that in today's society.) He also pointed out to me the 4th man in the fire.
Often times when you're going through something that's intended to destroy you it's easy to forget you're not going through it alone. That there are others experiencing the same thing and that you're not being consumed by the very thing intended to destroy you. That in itself is a reason to praise God. A reason to cry out and say, “thank you”. When you're a targeted individual…..a person who is experiencing intentional harassment, invasion of privacy, stalking, both literally and online it's sometimes easy to think you're the only one in the fire. It's easy to lock in on the “heat” you're feeling from the individual or individuals who are targeting you.
However, the beautiful thing I enjoyed about this conversation with my Father was his redirection of the situation. See, these 3 Hebrew boys had no help from the outside yet had everything on the inside. Follow me, real quick, not only did these three boys have the heart to stand firm on their believes regardless of the consequences, there greatest help was right there on the inside the entire time. (Did you catch that?) Even in the midst of the trial, the midst of the fire, God was right there on the inside with them.
Everything these boys needed to stand and fight was right on the inside. They had the heart to do it! Come on, somebody. These boys were equipped to stand the heat. (🏃🏿♀️🏃🏿♀️🏃🏿♀️) These boys were prepared to take a stance regardless of what it would cost them. Regardless of how hot things would become for them in the process, yet they stood anyways.
Close your eyes for a few moments so you can fully get this experience. Imagine yourself being thrown in a fire that's 7x hotter than normal, standing in the midst of it, yet, not being burnt 🥵! Imagine feeling the heat in the center of this fire, yet coming out with no indicator that you were ever even in it ! No smell, no burns, no dehydration, no scars, nothing. Nothing that would indicate you had literally been standing in a pit designed for your destruction.
Targeted Individuals, God's children, Children of light….. this is your earthly experience. The fire we endure isn't to take us out; it's to fortify us. Yet, so many will focus on being in the fire instead of focusing on what's inside. Inside our hearts….courage, fight, stamina, resilience, strength. Inside the fire with us…..our Father, the King of Kings, the omnipresent, the Alpha and Omega, the shot caller 😄.
Endure till the end. Use the heat to charge you up. This fire won't take us out! We're coming out unscathed.
Love ya later,
Shya.
What’s Lying at your Door?
Hello, Bonjour, Que Pasa ! How are you doing today? Hope, you’ve been doing well of course. Did you miss me? I know it’s been a little while since I’ve written. However, I’m present now so let’s dive in.
You read the title right? Hopefully it was what grabbed your attention. Did you go and check your door? If you didn’t no sweat. I’m sure after this blog you will be constantly checking your door to ensure that you are aware of What’s lying at your door.
When we look at Genesis 4:7 we are in the midst of the story concerning Cain and Abel. God is speaking with Cain concerning his countenance. He begins to explain to Cain that had he done the right thing he wouldn’t be upset he would have a smile on his face. Oh, excuse me, I’m not sure if you are aware of who Cain and Abel are, yet alone, what happened between the two of them. Let me give you a quick rundown. Cain and Abel are brothers, sons of Adam and Eve, they were both asked to give an offering to God. One was accepted or respected and the other received no praise. Cain, the one who received no praise was upset so much that he took the life of his brother Abel. You can find that incident in Gen 4:8. Hopefully that has brought you up to speed now.
When God tells Cain that had he done the right thing he would be smiling, yet, because he had done the wrong thing sin was waiting to attack him. Ultimately, sin was lying at his door.
See, when we give in to the lust of our mortal body, we allow sin to rule us while failing to realize that our bodies will die. (Rom 6:12) Even more reason for us to ignore the lust of our bodies. When we give in to the lust of our bodies, we are ultimately stating that sin rules us and because we are allowing sin to rule us, death will also have its way with us. (Rom 6:16) Sin and Death are always in close proximity of one another. Have you checked to see if death is knocking at your door?
We have an inheritance to obtain. Yet, the inheritance is going to require us to fight to obtain the prize. Fight the good fight of faith. Fight to remain righteous. Fight to stay in the will of God. Fight till the end. When we look at Numbers 32:23 we see that Moses was preparing the Israelites to go to war across the Jordan so that they could obtain their inheritance. Yet, two of the tribes wanted to stop in a land right before the Israelites were to cross the Jordan river to go into battle. Moses basically reminds them that choosing not to fight in the war with the rest of the tribes would be sinning against God. Here we see that the war for our inheritance is not an option. We must fight! We also see in this scripture that what would be waiting at the door for the tribes of Rueben and Gad had they chosen to stay in Gilead and not fight.
They wouldn’t have even been able to enjoy Gilead because punishment would be their only option. “But if you don’t keep your promise, you will sin against the Lord and be punished.” God gives us the option to choose whom we will serve. Whom we allow to rule us. Sin or Righteousness. The consequences that follow are based on which we choose. You can take a seat in sin and allow death to lay outside your door or you can choose to stand 10 toes and prep for the war that lies ahead. Just understand that the battle is already rigged.
The Victory is inevitable!
Love ya later,
Don’t forget to check your door.

Hello Beautiful people and others. I pray all has been well in your lives. I want to dive in and share something I’ve found pretty dope.
Earlier today I was sitting doing my hair and the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist dropped in my spirit. As I was sitting viewing the image of this special event in time. The holy spirit began to highlight to me the heart and humility of being chosen. When I sat and listened to God talk to me about how John the Baptist was chosen to baptize Christ. Yes, John had performed other baptisms, but not everyone gets to baptize Jesus Christ.
See, anytime I think of John the Baptist, I always immediately see him sitting in the wilderness minding his business. I love what his life and walk illustrates. His life is the true image of not having a care in the world about outside opinions and perspectives simply because he was so tapped into his relationship with Christ. John spent much of his ministry in the wilderness; by himself. He would eventually have those he was called to help meet him where he was, in the wilderness. He did not look like society would expect a person to carry themselves and he had not a care to do so. (Mark 1:4-7)
As God continued to talk to me, he highlighted how people today struggle to have the same humility John did. So many of the current church leaders would have chose to profit off of their fame of baptizing Jesus Christ. Would’ve established a world renown course and updated their social media to ensure they have the “certifications” broadcast to their audience. Yet, John hesitated when first asked to baptize Jesus and reverenced him, stating that Jesus should be baptizing him (Matt 3:14). He didn’t see himself as worthy. But Jesus did.
Isn’t it amazing the things God calls us to he has already qualified us to do?
As God continued to talk to me about the heart and humility of being chosen, he highlighted the relationship of Jesus and Elijah. He took me back to the time when Elijah was overwhelmed with the work God had called him to do; God gave him rest in the wilderness while sending an angel to nourish him with bread and water (1 King 19: 3-7). Once Elijah had rested and been nourished, he was strengthened enough to head on his journey. In this recollection God was showing me his heart for those he chooses. God loved Elijah just as he loves us. Despite our hesitations and fears God provides us with enough grace and mercy to pull thru.
God further highlighted the connection between these very two different moments. There is no John without Elijah. (Matt 17: 12-13; Luke 1:17) There is no Elijah without Christ Jesus. All have a very special and unique connection. The thing that stood out about all individuals involved the heart of their mission.
There are many of us called, but indeed a few are chosen. So many of us want to do great things and be great in the sight of man without meeting the requirements of what it means to be great in the sight of God. In the sight of Jesus Christ. To obtain that honor it requires a heart check. Could you imagine being loved by Christ so much that every time he returns for his people, he sends the same person to clear his path? Being chosen is tough work as we see with the lives of the individuals discussed in this blog. However, the beauty of being chosen is found in the heart of the individuals. Jesus loves us.
Chose to love yourself today by establishing a relationship with Jesus Christ. Come home before it’s too late. He wants to love on you.
Love ya later.
His Love is what makes Us Special
Hello Beautiful people. I pray all has been well with you. Especially for all of you who have been enduring the storms that have been hitting this world lately. May God keep you in his safe hands. May the resources you may be in need of locate you. Please stay safe as best you can.
Today I wanted to talk about what makes us special.
As believers I know it’s difficult sometimes to NOT get pulled into the distractions that the world creates. The distractions are always so loud. So persistent. So vast. Yet, if I’m honest it would be easier to avoid the distractions when we operate in the manner that Christ has called us to. The thing that makes us special is the fact that God has chosen us to be a special people unto himself. When we read the Bible there are multiple times where we are instructed to “Be ye separate.” When we choose to associate ourselves with the things of this world, we pollute ourselves and tamper with the thing that makes us special; that makes us holy. Being ye separate. In Deuteronomy 7:6 it states, “For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.”
When we consecrate a thing we are keeping it separate. That is exactly what Jesus is wanting his children to be - separate from the world! Scripture tells us that when we are friends with the world we are enemies with God (James 4:4). I’m not sure about you. But in this current climate, I wouldn’t want to be an enemy of God. It’s not looking too good for the opposition. We have a choice just as Christ does. He chose us because of his love for us (Duet 7:8). His faithfulness to his covenant (Duet 7:9). Yet, when we break that covenant, we are in danger of the consequences of our actions. (You can refer to the blog “Your Season, Your Choice” for more depth of what I am insinuating.) We aslo put ourselves in the crosswires for smoke that we don’t want to encounter.
We are nobodies without the love that Christ provides. It is because of his love that we are special. However, just like we have relationship throughout our lives with different people, family, friends, coworkers and etc. Our relationship with Jesus Christ is the main one that truly matters. Yes, it is beautiful to be loved. It is something entirely different when you are loved by Christ Jesus. It completely changes you from the inside out. It truly makes you feel special to experience such a love especially in the current tainted world of courting today. It elevates you to a place mentally and spiritually that makes you feel like you are floating on clouds with Christ.
However, to maintain the love that Christ provides we must do our part. Deuteronomy 7:11 tells us “Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statues, and the judgements, which I command thee this day, to do them.” Our part is honoring the covenant God established with us. We all want to be seen as special. Yet, we are only special because of the love that Christ has for us. Outside of his love we are nobody. Man cannot validate creation, only our Creator does, and he is a jealous God.
My beautiful people. If you are struggling in your walk with God…..I pray today that God will touch you in such a way that you no longer question or doubt the magnitude of his love for you. That you no longer seek the validation from the creation but you find it in the Creator. That your heart will soften to allow God in completely. That his love for you overflows into the lives of those around you. That peace indwells your hearts and your homes. That you know how truly special you are to Christ Jesus.
He wants to love on you. If only you would come home and leave the world behind.
Love ya, Later.
More and Mightier than “THEM”
Hello, Bonjour, Que Pasa! How’s it going good people and others?
Have you ever noticed that your oppressors always use the same tactics to keep you in bondage and fear? Whew! Could I dive into some personal experiences on this topic but I’m going to keep it Bible for you today. I’ll share some personal L’s on this subject at a later time; maybe. Gone head and grab your bibles and turn to the book of Exodus. Let’s dive in!
In the book of Exodus 1:7-11, we see the story of Israel in Egypt told. Jacob and his generation had passed, and the children of Israel had grown numerously; taking over the entirety of the region. Eventually a new king comes on the scene in Egypt and is intimidated by the size of Israel. He begins to converse with his people (the Egyptians) and informs them that there needs to be something done about the Israelites. He begins to plot how they can wisely “contain” and '“get rid” of the Israelites.
Quick question: Do you know your enemies have sized you up? My apologies, I stated I had a quick question, but truthfully, I have a few. Do you realize that the size of your community intimidates your oppressors? Do you know your oppressor is currently plotting to take you out and to intentionally afflict you with burdens just to keep you in line? Do you know your oppressor is concerned that you will realize the magnitude of power that you possess as a community to upset their kingdom?
I’m sure some of you do. Yet, there are others who have yet to truly see that the power is truly in the hands of the Israelites. The 12 tribes standing together on business for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
See the new king knew that the plans he conspired against the Israelites had to be implemented wisely. He knew that strategy was the best way to control his chances on keeping the Israelites in line. When we look at verse 10 it states, “Come on, let us deal wisely with them.” Your oppressor knows that you are intelligent. So much so that they know to deal with you wisely. The rest of verse 10 goes on to state “lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out the land.”
In verse 10 the new king was concerned about a few things. Let’s highlight them.
Awareness. He knew he needed strategy to keep the Israelites distracted from the truth.
The size. He knew that the Israelites outnumbered them.
War/Wakeup. He feared the Israelites waking up to turn on them during a time of war.
Removing the Israelites from the land.
When we look at the world today…is there much unity in the land amongst the Israelites? Or has there been a strategy put in place against us to keep us burdened down and distracted? Let me make some of the burdens and distractions clear to you below:
Celebrity drama
Financial stressors
Political drama
Overworked and Underpaid
Lack of Rest
Could you imagine a world where you were absent of these things and able to live out the fullness of life that God has intended for us? In the land he has intended for us. See the Egyptians didn’t want the Israelites to necessarily leave the land. They wanted to control the Israelites within the land. They wanted to keep the Israelites blind, def and dumb to the plays that were being executed to their detriment. In Exodus 1:9 it states, “And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we.” Your enemy knows you are mightier! Your enemy knows that if you ever wake up to the schemes, they have concocted to keep you burdened and in bondage that you will rise to leave Egypt.
The oppressors’ (the enemy) tactics haven’t changed. They want to distract you with burdens. To control where you put your focus. To never realize your true power against them. To afflict you. To stay within their control.
Children of Israel. Children of Jesus Christ. We are more and mightier than them!
Love ya later.
What are you Using to Obtain a Good Report?
Hello, Bonjour, Que Pasa! How are you doing good people and others? Pray all is going smoothly for you.
Have any of you ever considered how we go about obtaining a “good report” with the father? I know many of us can easily and quickly determine how we obtain a good report from man; do well in school, stay out of jail, make good money while working a good job, be a present and active parent, blah, blah, blah! All of these things will grant us favor among man yet, none of these things are necessary to obtain a good report from Christ. Jesus Christ.
In order to obtain a good report we need FAITH!
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1) In Hebrews 11:2 it states that the elders obtained a good report by faith. Its exact words are “For by it the elders obtained a good report.” The it being faith. What is it that you find yourself believing in? Is it providing peace for you? Is it covering you? Has it renewed your mind in a positive way? Has it fortified you?
There are Heroes of Faith listed throughout the word of God in Hebrews 11 some of them didn’t even receive the promises, yet they continued to fight the good fight of faith. There are others listed in the word who were able to receive the promises of God. Where will you find yourself in the good fight of faith? Will you endure until the end whether you receive the promise or not?
“Without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6)
In these times throughout the world please do not get caught up on being pleasing to man. The children of God need to do their best to obtain a good report with Jesus Christ, our Father. He is who gives us a good report. Man cannot. Remember people of God, we must fight the good fight of faith.
Stand strong. Endure till the end!
Love ya Later.
The Grace isn’t Unlimited!
Hello, Bonjour, Que Pasa! How are you all today? I pray all is well with you.
Today I wanted to talk about The Grace Isn’t Unlimited!
Many of us have grown up in homes, churches and vast communities where we have established connections and loving relationships. Some of us have grown up in not so loving relationships. Yet, we have found the strength to heal and continue to move forward. For those of us who have endured different things in life I’m sure we can attest to the fact that “Grace isn’t always unlimited.”
When we look at the word of God in Psalms 78 we see where God was dealing with the Israelites thirsting in the wilderness. God provided for them numerous times. Numerous times. Yet, the Israelites continued in their complaints and their request for more from God with a lack of thanks. Have any of you ever been giving and giving and giving and no one ever took a moment to simply say “thank you” for the work or services you have provided for them? I’m not sure if many people understand the complex simplicity that “thank you” provides. Thank you is one of the most simple and profound things you can say to someone.
Thank you gives. It gives in ways that will uplift and encourage the giver to give more because they feel appreciated. God wants us to appreciate his love for us. Some of us take for granted the love that God provides. I believe this is the case because we get comfortable in his works for us. Much like the Israelites did in the Bible. (Psalms 78:42) They had become so expectant of God being God in their lives that they didn’t even acknowledge that he was doing miraculous deeds to ensure they were fed. They didn’t even acknowledge that God was feeding them heavenly food.
Could you imagine being fed bread from heaven and believing that you are just naturally deserving of such a meal? (Psalms 78:24) As if you created the heavens and the earth in 7 days yourself. Eventually, people get tired. Just as God himself gets tired. We see in the Bible where God had given to the point where he was fed up. He then turns and smites the Israelites right when they were about to feast on the manna he had provided. (Psalms 78:31)
The grace God allots us is not unlimited. We as believers believe that all we have to do is “repent”. Let some of your celebrity Pastors tell it. However, true repentance is turning away from your sins. Meaning leaving them in the past. Turning away from them. Allowing God to establish you as a new creature in him. When we get comfortable in walking in our sins we are playing with fire. God’s consuming fire! Whether we take his warnings seriously or not….do we really want the smoke that God gives?! Don’t take God’s grace for granted. One day you won’t have time to repent and get your life in order. Start today!
God’s grace is not unlimited!
