Dream On!

As humans we all have dreams and desires that we secretly nurture for years. We lay on our beds and we picture in our minds the whole scenario of what our life would be like if only our dreams would come to pass. We say to ourselves maybe, if our circumstances were different, if we were born into a different family, if our teachers were more understanding , if only our friends were different. If only my mother, the pastor, priest, lawyer, doctor, if only. And the list goes on.
No more 'if onlys' !
We must declare to ourselves today that the story of if only's will stop with us. No more if only's. We are destroying that premise and starting on a new theme, "WE ARE WELL ABLE." My dream can be a reality, it begins with me. I declare to myself, I am responsible for my 'if only' and I am going to take control of the dream that God has given me. Yes, no more fear, no more excuses, no more if's.
I am free to dream!
With God's help today, I am free to do and be, free from all the fears that paralyze me from moving on from dreaming and developing at the pace that God wants for me. I walk into that freedom, without fear or doubt. In Phillipians 4:19, the Bible says, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
This freedom is empowering!
I do not have retreat because of intimidation. My actions are now not dictated by my negative circumstances or past experiences. Hope rises in me. I will make it, my dream will become a reality. Every step I now take is a step towards the fulfillment of my dreams. I will walk in the confidence that God will help me. Though as I seek to fulfill my dreams I may stumble and falter but I will not be afraid because I know that as I give Him my best He will do the rest and that is a sure recipe for success. So dream on today and be blessed!

Count Your Blessings!!

Count your many blessings see what God has done! As the year closes we may be tempted to think of the negative things that might have taken place in our lives. Let me encourage you that before you go off on a negative rant, think of all the good things that has happened to you in spite of. Take on a new attitude, call it an "in spite of -I am grateful attitude." I am Blessed! Whatever it maybe, you have made it to the end of 2011 and now ready for 2012. You have more mountains to climb and more valleys to walk through. You are not getting weaker but in Christ growing stronger. You are not just going to be a conqueror, you are, according to God's word, "more than a conqueror." The fact that you are alive makes you a candidate for God's blessing. So today "count your blessings" and as the song says, "name them one by one and it will surprise you what the Lord has done." You are blessed, so be a blessing to someone. Have a Happy and Bl...

Prayer Changes Things

Prayer changes things and we are assured that as we pray God will help us and guide us.  In the book of James He said that Elijah was a man like us. That means that Elijah was subjected to all human frailties like us.  One minute he is on the mountain the next minute he was hiding from a woman.  How many times we have allowed fear and circumstances to get us down even to the point of paralyzing us.  Elijah prayed and God responded to his prayer by stopping and sending rain. Even so God will respond to us as we pray. We don't have to be afraid.  Prayer is talking to God with love. It is not how long you pray, how loud you pray but how earnest you pray. It is all a 'heart thing'. God sees our hearts. Jesus said "go into the closet and pray" and He will answer you openly. Pray for and about everything. I know that God loves and cares for all of His children and He is just waiting for us to call on Him. He says that "we should call on Him and  He will answ...

There's An Angel Watching Over You!

One day my family and I had set out on a journey to visit a relative in the country area. The roads were steep and precipitous and this was the first time we were driving this truck because we borrowed it from a friend. We were going around the winding roads, then suddenly the truck spun around and somersaulted and turned toward a precipice, everything was out of control. The only one that could help was God himself. Immediately instinct came in and I shouted "Jesus". The truck stopped. What happened next was only short of a miracle. A peace filled the truck at that moment before stopping. There was no fear. When we stopped human nature took over, my knees were buckling when I looked down and saw what I was facing. The front of the truck stopped at the edge of the precipice. There was only a bit of dirt between our tires and the edge of the precipice. Death might of been certain, but it was not time for us. His angels were surely there, my cry to Him for help was heard. He wi...
