Lead By Example

 Today is no ordinary day.  

Something new is on the horizon.

Can you smell it, touch it, taste it, see it, and/or hear it? Possibly

God is working something within you.  The question is how are you going to step in your day?

2 Timothy 3:10

June 21, 2020, the Messenger spoke on A Godly Model.  Let me take a moment to give honor to my church home.  You will always leave "informed, inspired, instructed, and infused".  When you leave the church service everything in your body should be dripping for Jesus!

Now, you probably wondering why the acknowledgment plug because it's a place where you can get the tools to become a Godly Model and you have been officially invited (leave a comment below and I will give you the name and address of my church if you are in the Florida area).  

1 Corinthians 4:14-17

Modeling starts with you and at home.   Do you have a child (children)? Are you responsible for a child (children)?  Children are watching everything we do.  Our emotions and actions are being absorbed into them [ this sentence alone is a fact in my household: I don't mean always in a good way.  I had to get out of lukewarm stage really quick and tell the devil he can't have my children].  Your life is an introduction of what life should look like to them so check yourself (quickly)...renew.... cleanse...and then introduce them to God. 

A Godly Model does not shame the people who are watching them or listening to their instruction, but they do counsel.  KEY POINT:  If a person is shaming you most likely that is a person not demonstrating a Godly Model or they are having a very BAD moment. 

A Godly Model believes in the Name of Jesus     John 1:12

A Godly Model is not a lover of themselves, proud, and/or disrespectful. 

A Godly Model leads by example.  They just don't speak about it, but they walk in it.  You can't teach somebody anything if you are not willing to do it or actually is doing it yourself. Walking the talk speaks TRUTH.  

A Godly Model can discern between good and evil

Here is the real hard truth:

A Godly Model does not get time off. You can't lay your life down because somebody offended you or you don't feel like living for Christ today.

A Godly Model is positive thinking and God directed:

        instead of saying:  

"Lord I don't know how I am going to do this"   

say 

"Lord I can't wait to see how you do this"❤️

To Those Seeking a Godly Model: (here is a quote I like)

Stay Connected to God

 Ephesians 6:11

What a week! Did you have an interesting one? I felt I was getting tested all over the place and still I looked to the Hills and saw where my help comes from.  I love it!  I choose God and it's showing in my walk of life!!  On June 19, 2019 The Messenger spoke about Strategic Prayer and indicated we need to write our Prayers down or if we "freestyle" be lead by the Holy Spirit.   

Let me tell you what prayer is not:  

                calling on God when you are only in trouble or hurt

                a quick fix in your life

                another means to solve your problem(s)

                something to say to people and you don't really do it

Let me tell you what prayer is:

                orders your path

                the gateway to peace

                solutions to your anxiety and fears

                constant communication with God through good times and bad

Remember you always will be attack against your passion, focus, identity, family, confidence, calling, purity, rest, relationship, commitment, and heart.

2 Corinthians 11:14

You know what prayers is and what it is not.  You know we are attacked daily so our prayers are necessary.  Stay in prayer....so you can stay connected to God!

Always with Love,

                        A.P.E.P

Stand Up! Stand Firm!

 John 8:31-32

I was listening to a song by Tedashii,  "Make War" (YouTube the lyrics if you can't make out what they are saying).  WOA!

Basically, the song is saying get off your butt, quit your complaining, open your mind to possibilities, so what if it's uncomfortable, GET UP! Get going! FIGHT! Don't give up!  God says it's for YOU!!!

He says in his song, "sin never sleeps" FACTS!!!!!

He says, "we glorify struggle so much it has us terrified"   FACTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

(How long do you dwell on a situation in negative manner) Remember this:  Numbers 13:1-2, 31-33

Whom shall we fear?  NOBODY>>>NOTHING!!!!!  Let's get out of our head.  YOU can do ALL things because Christ strengthen YOU!!!  Remove that stronghold of doubt, not good enough, being scared, it's too hard, and whatever you are up against ......YOU have the MOST HIGH GOD fighting for YOU!!!

YES Believers!!! This is a HYPE Message!!!  We need to get radical for JESUS so we can push through the hurt, discouragement, and the pain.  

Did you read Numbers (scripture above)?  Lord said "I am giving you....."  Did we forget?  Did we get loss in what it looks like we forgot it's for us?  

Pray (invite God in and get His approval and direction)

Open to change...Redirect your mindset (don't be oppose, restricted, or limited in all possibilities). 

Remove assumptions ( "that's the way I am"): Be renew and change it!  "Oh that's how it always is or did you not see what is going on":  I don't care I serve a Miracle Worker.. a Promise Keeper.   What did He say earlier"  I am giving you...."  Enough said. 

Here some help:   If it's not based on The Word of God, it's WRONG!  PERIOD!

February 24, 2019, The Messenger spoke on Winning the Battle, The Messenger wants us not to have wrong thinking.  Well, today March 2022 it still applies, ask yourself what keeps you back from doing what needs to be done?  Be honest with yourself.  What keeps you from God purpose?

                    It is time for you to stand up, stay firm, put your armor of God on, and go to battle!

Always with Love,

                        A.P.E.P

Don't Feel.... Believe!

 I'm noticing a pattern in my life ...letting go of control.  I am bit of a control freak.  I have learned over the years to let go and leave it to God!  Sometimes that is easier said than done.  Sometimes I think I did it just to turn around in a situation and see my hand is manipulating it- CRAZY, I know!

The Messenger on February 3, 2019, spoke on "Enlarging Your Tents" and reference Isaiah 54: 2&3.  I had to read it walk away, read it again.....lay down, and read it once more.  What I keep coming back to is expanding your mindset; leave room for growth and possibilities.  STREEEEEETCH...it won't be comfortable or convenient but it is necessary.  

We need to have the ability to receive another idea or approach.

We need to be absorb the idea or the approach.  Don't let something you just heard be a "feel good" message/advice and then later forget what convicted or opened your eyes.  

We need to expand our thinking.  How far you go depends on what you are willing to surrender.  

Surrender, don't just sing about it...Be about it!  Let go of the doubt and fear! Walk by faith! Tell your flesh you loss nothing because life on earth is temporal but life afterwards is eternal.  If I had to define surrender it would be releasing your flesh like thought and actions, trusting God has knows what is best for you. 

The expansion of your tents depends on what you do, what you choose, and what you think...Don't feel...BELIEVE!

Prayer:     I pray right now our mindset gets cleansed we move to the right and left ready to expand our tents and embrace the goodness of God.  Thank you God for having favor on us to receive your Blessings in due season will reap the mana and glorify your Name forever more.  

Always with Love
