Our desire for God will overrule any other desire. Our desire for God will propel us where we need to be in God. Because of our desire for God, we long for God, to please Him, to live for Him. Our desire for God makes it easy for us to love the Lord our God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our mind and with all our strength; also to love our neighbor as ourselves (Mark 12:30-31). Our desire for God will cause us to push! We will push pass pain, death, sickness, diseases,…

Here is your Wednesday's Words to Live By for the upcoming week:

Wait on God! Let's not get in a hurry to do anything because the Bible lets us know in Philippians 4:6:



"In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God".



We cannot do…

God do not wait until we go through something to work it out, He works it out before we go through it. He knows what is going to happen in our lives before it happens; He made us. But before He can give us what we pray for (if it’s His will), or bring us out, He first must prepare us to receive it. So we must open up and let God prepare us to receive all our stuff. We must not be so quick to say, “The devil is holding up my stuff;” no, God is preparing you to receive. The devil does not have…

I.  Fear of Rejection

A. What is rejection?

Fear of rejection is the:

• Irrational fear that others will not accept us for who we are. It is what we believe, and how we act.
• Pervasive motivator for caution in our behavior and interactions with others.
• State of mind that makes us incapable of doing or saying, anything for fear of others rejection, lack of acceptance, and disapproval.
• State of being of…

I. Negative consequences of the absence of forgiving and forgetting:

A.  The partners in a relationship where one or both of them have not forgiven or forgot, will run the risk of:

*Continuously being hurt with pain and suffering going unresolved.

*Chronically seeking revenge and paybacks from one another.

Paul said in 2 Corinthians 10:3-6: ³ “For thought we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. ⁴ For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, ⁵ casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every…

Paul tells us in Ephesians 6:10 to “be strong with the Lord’s mighty power.” So, we have no power outside of God. The Devil recognizes God’s power ONLY. A good example of this is in Acts 19:13-16 when some Jews were going around trying to cast out evil spirits. They didn’t even know or believe in Jesus, but…
