Just Do It!
The time has come to move past the excuses and move into your destiny. WHATEVER He says do, just do it! Jesus is not one for excuses or doubts. He tells his mother that His time has not yet come, but He still does the miraculous.
God is not concerned with our weaknesses, our pasts, our flaws or our excuses. He just wants us to do what He asks so that He can make miracles happen. When we become more obedient to the Word and Will of God it allows the Lord to move in a mighty way. It’s our disobedience and doubt that keeps the Lord from doing the great things that He wants to do. Don’t let this be another day that you stop God from doing great things in your life. Open up and look for God to move in your life today.
Be ye holy, be ye just, be kind and be loving, don’t fret and do not doubt. Whatever He says do, Just Do It!
The Word of God tells us to work as unto the Lord, do it. The Word tells us not to be lazy, well. It tells us to act in excellence, this is practical. If you put these things into action you are bound to succeed. You don’t have to look for the Heavens to open and have a dark cloud speak to you to know what God is saying do. It’s right in His word. Just Do It!
Daily Declaration
Today will be the best day of my life. I will not let anything or anyone stop me from reaching my potential. I am the righteousness of God and I will do whatever God says do. Today will be the best day of my life because I will Just Do It in Jesus’ name.
Fear Nothing
(Jeremiah 1:1-8)
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin,
2 to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
4 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations."
6 Then said I: "Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth."
7 But the Lord said to me: "Do not say, I am a youth, for you shall go to all to whom I send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.
8 Do not be afraid of their faces, for I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord.
Fear Nothing
You were called to this so fear nothing. People often tell me that they are unsure of their purpose or their calling, but then won’t stop talking about certain goals, dreams or visions they have. Whatever is burning in your heart, clanging in your mind and chasing you constantly has been put there by God. He called you to do that thing that is in you. Whatever it is that you really want to do and just can’t seem to shake or out run could very well be your destiny. Stop running, stop making excuses, stop trying to figure out why you can’t do it, and most importantly, stop being afraid, Fear Nothing.
God has called you into greatness. He has ordained you for this, appointed you to this and created you just to do this! Before you were formed, before you were born, God knew you and He knew what He wanted you to do. He appointed Jeremiah as a prophet to the nations and he appointed you as something as well. He declares in verse 8 that He is with you and will rescue you. Why, because He wants you to fulfill your purpose. Fear Nothing!
The Lord is watching over you. Focus on your destiny, not on your troubles or your enemies or your phobias or your fears. Focus on your purpose. If you don’t know it yet, then focus on praising and worshipping God because if nothing else, you were created to worship Christ!
I believe in you, God believes in you, so fear nothing and focus on being the person that God created you to be. Fear Nothing!
Daily Declaration
Today will be the best day of my life. I was created for a reason and I have a purpose to fulfill. Therefore, I will focus on the Lord and not on fear. Today will be the best day of my life because I will Fear Nothing in Jesus’ name.
Abstain From Sin
(Isaiah 59:1-8)
1 Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear.
2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue has muttered perversity.
4 No one calls for justice, nor does any plead for truth. They trust in empty words and speak lies; they conceive evil and bring forth iniquity.
5They hatch vipers' eggs and weave the spider's web; he who eats of their eggs dies, and from that which is crushed a viper breaks out.
6 Their webs will not become garments, nor will they cover themselves with their works; their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
7Their feet run to evil and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity, wasting and destruction are in their paths. 8The way of peace they have not known and there is no justice in their ways; they have made themselves crooked paths; whoever takes that way shall not know peace.
Abstain From Sin
Sin separates us from God, but we should be motivated by the fact
