Declaration: never again will I make a statement like I did last night about being stressed.
A Declaration
Want to break from work long enough to make a declaration.
Declaration: never again will I make a statement like I did last night about being stressed.
I realize there is a level of stress that comes from being blessed and from walking in one's promises from God and HIS victory. That's what it is for me right now. And here I am complaining. Forgive me Lord. YOU still GOT THIS. I don't see how I'm
going to do it, but then my blessing or any other good thing is not dependent on me. It's dependent on YOU.
May I preach for a minute?
We sometimes think that success is when everything goes our way: We get rich, we get famous, we get stuff, we get persons in our lives that we believe will make us happy. God defines success/prosperity a little different. He told Joshua, that if he meditated on HIS word day and night he would be prosperous and have success. In God's prosperity, everything will not always go our way. But you can be for sure, that it will always go HIS way. . .that is if he is commanding it.
Look at the cross. Jesus had preached, healed and did miracles for 3.5 years, and what did he get to show for it? Some scared, hiding disciples, a beating, and a cross. Yet that was God's success, for that was the only way your enemy and mine could be defeated PERMANENTLY - for the Son (God in the flesh/the flesh) to die.
Call me crazy but, Jesus is my role model. I'll never be half as much as him, but I can sure let him have his way with me. . .in anything. In everything.

Now, let me get back to work . . .
