How Bad Do You Want It

Everybody in my family knows I love Garrett Popcorn. I have gone as far as to route my planes through Chicago just to get this popcorn. The country I live in has a Garrett and it’s about an hour 15 minute train ride. Mind you, you have to take three trains to get there. Well tonight I did it. I wanted this popcorn so bad that I made my son come home from hanging with his friends to watch my grandson. I know it’s sad, but I wanted it bad.

How many of you really want something in life but you are too afraid to go after it? Or, you feel like it may take too long. News flash! Whether you go after it or not, time will pass. If I could catch three trains one way for some popcorn, just think if I really wanted something from God what I would do.

We have to have a no matter what attitude. No matter what it takes, I’m going for what I want. People may laugh at you or talk about you while you’re trying to achieve it. But they will be the first ones with their hand out when you make it.

So, how bad do you want it? Only you can answer that.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Don’t Make The Wrong Decision

All of us have to make decisions on a daily basis no matter how small or big they are. Some decisions we make will have no real consequences to them because they are so minor. Then other decisions we make can have long term effects on our lives.

Has God ever told you to do something, but instead you decided to do the opposite? Now you’re paying for that decision and it doesn’t feel good. Or perhaps, God has warned you, that the decision you are about to make is wrong. Yet, you continue to act like you don’t hear him. It’s better to listen to God and choose his decision, then choose the decision of your flesh.

Warning comes before destruction, so decide wisely. Can you afford to make a costly decision? Some costly decisions could be; not confessing the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, cheating on your spouse, fornicating, lying, turning your back on God, etc…

Society makes it easy for us to decide the wrong things. All the while, we know the right thing to do but our flesh craves the wrong thing to do. Bottom line, we have to desire God and desire to do the will of God more than the devil desires to sift us as wheat.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Keep Asking

Have you ever asked for something and was told no? However, that didn’t stop you from keep asking. Somehow, NO, was not the answer you were looking for and you continued to ask until the answer changed to yes.

Well today,my NO turned into yes. Twice a month I go on the radio with some colleagues and we discuss the upcoming events about our various jobs. At the end of each show the interviewer always asks do I have a final word. I would always say yes, you need to give me my own radio show and I would tell him the title of it. He would always laugh and we would go off the air. Like clock work, he asked the same thing today, and I gave my same response. This time he said let’s talk. After talking, he said send me an email. I got back to work became very busy but sent the email a few hours later. We did some back and forth and by the end of the day I got the final email. You are a GO. You have your own radio show and it starts next week.

I was so happy and started calling and texting everybody. It reminded me of the lady in the bible when she troubled the king until he gave her what she kept asking for. If you know you want something and it’s not illegal or belong to someone else, go for it. You may be told no the first time but don’t give up. It took months for the radio show to say yes. And, when you get your YES be ready. As soon as I got my YES, I sent them the first topic of the show and outlined what I wanted to talk about and how we would transition into each subject.

All I can say is, if God be for you, who can stand against you.

Do You Love Me

Do you go around acting like Jesus is not enough for you? Do you feel like you need something more than Jesus? Has Jesus ever had to ask you, do you love me, do you trust me, will you do my will?

For many of us, Jesus has had to ask us ; do we love and trust him. Why is that? Could it be, we say one thing with our mouths but we do another thing in our actions. Could it be that loving Jesus means caring for the poor, and we’re only worried about me, myself and I. Could it be, trusting him means taking our hands and mouths off the situation.

Do you love me? That’s something to think about, especially; when Jesus has to ask us that question.

You Will Make It

Despite of what everyone thinks about you or says about you, you will make it. Who cares what other people think anyway. The only thing that matters is what God says and what God thinks.

As a matter of fact, God said whosever will let them come. You and me are included in the whosever will. Therefore, you are going to make it. No matter what it looks like now, no matter what the doctor says, no matter how the economy looks, you are going to make it.

We serve a God with a cattle on a thousand hills, he will never leave us nor forsake us nor have his seed begging bread. Keep telling yourself, I will make it. I will succeed. Not on mans terms but on God’s terms and in God’s timing.

Stop listening to what the people say and stand on what God says; his word will never return unto you void.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

I’m Done With You

Today I asked my grandson to give me a hug. I guess he felt like I was hugging him too long so he said; are you finished because I’m done with you. I replied, you’re done with me! He said yes. You asked for a hug now I’m done with you, good night it’s bed time and left my room.

When he said that I began to wonder. How many of us can stand flat footed and tell the enemy I’m done with you, mean it and go about our business. We need to tell the enemy, I’m done being your puppet, you’re no longer my puppet master. I’m done lying, I know you’re the father of lies, so I’m okay being a fatherless child. I’m done cheating my way through life, because Jesus said all I have to do is ask in his name. I’m done sinning, because I found out that God is married to the backslider. He won’t divorce me. He’s standing with arms wide open waiting for me to come back home.

When your done, be done. You no longer have to explain why you’re done. Just show the enemy the God you serve is bigger, better and badder than he will ever be.

Boundaries

Have you ever had someone tell you they thought your were a Christian? Do you feel like people try to treat you any kind of way because you are a Christian?

As Christian’s we have to set boundaries. To someone else it may seem like we’re trying to be better than them or we’re standoffish. However, if we don’t set boundaries, we give way to the enemy and that can be disastrous. Boundaries also help us to not cross the line.

It’s alright to let someone know when they’ve crossed the line or overstepped their boundaries. God called us to be meek not weak. And sadly, when people see that we are Christians they think that gives them the right to walk all over us.

So the next time someone says; I thought you were a Christian. Tell them I am and the kingdom suffers violence and the violent take it by force.

Shopping

When people go shopping they are always looking for the best deal they can get. Some people go to stores that will price match, others drive all over town to save a penny. This is good when it’s for merchandise only, however, many people have taken this same mentality to the church.

People shop for churches that won’t preach on their sin and that seems to give them the best deal for their time. They don’t want to be corrected of their wrong doing and they don’t want to be in church for more than an hour. People are looking for sermons wrapped in a bow and it needs to be cute, cuddly and funny. They prefer the watered down gospel because the uncut gospel is too strong.

If this church can’t deliver it, they know the church up the street can deliver half of it, and the church on the other side of town can deliver the other half. Sadly, because pastors are looking for numbers and not souls they fall prey to the shoppers and deliver a watered down gospel that convicts no one to change. But, they have the numbers in the pews.

What shoppers need to realize is that you get what you pay for, and because it’s on sale doesn’t mean it’s meant for you. When you shop for a church that makes you feel good, you’re hurting yourself and your discounting your soul. But when you’re willing to pay the full price and face your sins head on, then you’re ready to see the value in why Christ died for you.

The Most Unlikely One

A few days ago I couldn’t get a hold of my adult daughter. She was supposed to be moving to a new state and when I went to contact her, there was no answer. I called my mom and sister to see had they heard anything and nothing. We checked all of her social media sites and she was silent. This was totally out of character for her. She places her whole life on the web.

I decided to contact the police and asked them to do a welfare check on her. I explained to them I live in another country and asked them to please call my mother and update her on their findings. All day and night I waited for a call from my mom or my sister and nothing. I called them to see had they heard any news and nothing. I called the police back and they were of no help.

Finally, I called my mom back and as our conversation was ending; she said jokingly, maybe you should call your ex-husband. I replied jokingly, yeah if his wife will let him go. But that’s just what I did. I called him left a message and five minutes later he called back.

I explained the situation to him and immediately he was on it. Mind you, he’s not her biological father. He wasn’t where he could go physically check on her but he sent someone out there. A few hours later, he got back with me to say he touched basis with her and that he spoke directly to her.

I felt so relieved. Someone I never thought to call was the one that God used to put my family fears at ease. 48hrs of not knowing whether your child is alive or dead is gut wrenching and not being able to be there is even more traumatic.

This whole ordeal has taught me to never discount anyone even my ex-husband. For God had him do what the police couldn’t or didn’t do and that was locate my child. So whoever God chooses to help you, be grateful not hateful and thank God he still showed you favor.

Waiting

Many people don’t like to wait. Society has taught us that we can have what we want, when we want, how we want. Unfortunately, a lot of society has not read the bible.

In the bible, God put people on hold for long periods of time. It didn’t matter if they were at the brink of death or if they had been in that predicament for years. The thing about waiting is, either you’re going to trust God or you’re going to listen to the enemy and curse God.

The predicament you’re in may seen unbearable for now, but God knows just how much you can bear. Weeks, months or years may have passed and God hasn’t come to see about you yet, just hold on he hasn’t forgotten about you. It’s just that your predicament has a set time and God won’t respond a minute too soon.

So while you’re waiting, rejoice in the Lord. For I reckon, that the suffering of this present time is not worthy to be compared to the glory that shall be revealed.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
