Encouragement




According to Merriam-Webster’s thesaurus, encouragement is defined as something that arouses action or activity.
During the course of our life we may feel the need to seek the approval of others in order to feel a sense of encouragement. But, what do you do when there is no one around and you are left staring at the mirror and seeing only yourself staring back? Approval addiction can become a hindrance in our lives and will create a stronghold. Seeking the approval of others will have you doing things that are against what we know is right, just so we can feel accepted by others.
Today I want you to look at the word En-cour-age-ment in a different way, we are going to take this same word and pull out the golden nugget that is already imbedded deep inside of us. In me there is courage, I have the courage to get up and face another day no matter what the unknown may be, regardless of who is standing by my side; God did not give me the spirit of fear but of power love and a sound mind. We will put this word in action and actively affirm
“IN ME THERE IS COURAGE”.

“Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you He will not fail you or forsake you." (Deuteronomy 31:6)

"But you, be strong and do not lose courage, for there is reward for your work." (2 Chronicles 15:7)

Behind Enemy Lines


“The Art of War”, is a book that was written by, Sun Tzu back in the 6th Century this book is based on military strategy for warfare. One, of the most intriguing points of this book is to approach warfare as a matter of life or death, the author states, “that one or two things will happen when you are at war either you will have victory or defeat.” Sun Tzu also states, "we have to live by a moral law which is to be in complete accord of our ruler." Regardless of the warfare that we encounter on a daily basis we can not be dismayed by what we see, we have to follow our ruler even unto death. One of the greatest triumphs about being a Christian is that victory is promised by the Lord. No matter what you are faced with today there is a solution. So, if you find yourself in warfare spiritually, physically, mentally or financially and it feels that you are in the trenches with the enemy, know that your kinsman redeemer is fighting your battle and you will win!


2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (The Message)

The world is unprincipled. It's dog-eat-dog out there! The world doesn't fight fair. But we don't live or fight our battles that way—never have and never will. The tools of our trade aren't for marketing or manipulation, but they are for demolishing that entire massively corrupt culture. We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ. Our tools are ready at hand for clearing the ground of every obstruction and building lives of obedience into maturity.

Get Back Up!


We fall down but we get up, for a saint is just a sinner who fell down and got up. These are the words from Donnie McClurkins song, "We Fall Down."

As christians in a systemic society, we have to overcome our emotions that cause us to stumble and change our perception on how we view:

Failure
Rejection
Guilt
Shame

The bible tells us, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect."(Romans 12:2)

When we start to renew our mind with the word of God this is when the enemies plot becomes exposed; the bible tells us that the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy; but Jesus came that we may have life and have it abundantly. (John 10:10)

We have to ask ourselves why is it important to seek the approval of others?

In the book of Genesis when God created man he said it was Very good, so if when we were created God said we were Very good it was before man uttered a word, performed a deed or committed an act.

Look at your situation and circumstance and come back to God; every negative word that you have thought or that was spoken over you replace it with the word of God and become transformed. All your sins past, present and future have been forgiven.

And you who were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh (your sensuality, your sinful carnal nature), [God] brought to life together with [Christ], having [freely] forgiven us all our transgressions,

Having cancelled and blotted out and wiped away the handwriting of the note (bond) with its legal decrees and demands which was in force and stood against us (hostile to us). This [note with its regulations, decrees, and demands] He set aside and cleared completely out of our way by nailing it to [His] cross.
(Col. 2:13-14)


Beloved, no matter what you have done repent to the heavenly father and come back into his loving arms he is waiting for you.
