Where Is Your Heart Now?

Good Morning,
On this day, January 17, this email comes to minister to you. Happy Wednesday! How are you doing this morning? It's a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever wanted to give up on yourself? You vowed to stop living a certain way, but the more you tried to stop the worse it got. Have you ever been disappointed with yourself? In spite of all you have achieved, you still critique yourself. Do you ever stop long enough to enjoy life? Do you ever sit down and enjoy your family and friends? Do you enjoy being with yourself? So often in our lives, we spend most of our time doing busy work but never productive work. Always on the go, but never knowing where you are going. Have you been there? Are you there now?

This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. Do you ever ask yourself, "Why am I doing what I am doing?" Many times we do things because we believe it is expected of us. Your heart is not in it, but if it will make everyone happy then you do it. There has to come a time in your life when what you do is done for the Lord. I understand you want to make family and friends happy, but if you are not happy doing it then you are not being real with yourself or God. My friend, Where Is Your Heart Now? The Bible declares in Psalms 19:14 - Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. When you first started the work, there was a glow surrounding you. Wherever you were needed, you were willing to go. As time has passed, your glow has diminished. It is no longer ministry, but now it is obligation. It is no longer for the glory of God, but due to fear of rejection.

My brother, my sister, Where Is Your Heart Now? Have you lost your passion? Are you still committed? If not, why are you still involved? You must understand one important thing. Although you aim to please man from the outside, God views your inside (the heart). Your heart reveals your true essence (1 Samuel 16:7). The Bible declares in Matthew 5:8 - Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Dear friend, when you refuse to operate from your heart, you pollute your life. Whatever your heart beats after is what will keep you going. The Bible declares in Matthew 12:34 - ... for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. Where Is Your Heart Now? Are you still excited about the things of God? Have you taken on more than you can handle? Do you have hidden anger toward someone? Is your mouth speaking what your heart is leaking? Thought to Ponder: If your heart is no longer there, why are you?

Scripture Reading for the Day: Psalms 51:10

May God Bless you at Your point of need!

To God Be The Glory!!

Hang In There!

Good Morning,
On this day, January 18, this email comes to minister to you. Happy Thursday! How are you doing this morning? It's a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever endured so much pain until you felt like throwing in the towel? Have you ever felt overwhelmed by life's problems? How do you handle these situations in your life? Do you rely on prayer or pills? The Almighty or alcohol? Worship or worrying? So often in our life, we waste so much time stressing over past mistakes and future plans. We never maximize the current opportunities God has blessed us with. We wake up worrying about what we did not do yesterday. We spend the entire day worrying about the next day. Have you been there? Are you there now?

This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. I know times get difficult. I understand friendships and finances can experience dry seasons. My friend, Hang In There! God is not through with you yet. If you quit now, you will miss out on the best years of your life. Things can get better. Things will get better. You must not surrender to the enemy. If you are honest with yourself, you are living better than anyone in your bloodline. Because of the Lord, you have received and obtained more than you expected in life. The Bible declares in Psalms 27:14 - Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Hang In There! Give no place to depression and anxiety. God knows what you are in need of. Do not waver. Stand on His Word. The Bible declares in Isaiah 40:31 - But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

My brother, my sister, Hang In There! The Bible declares in Ecclesiastes 9:11 - ... that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. Your season of abundance is in front of you. You must develop a spirit of determination. You must be willing to fight for it. Friends may betray you, Hang In There! Family may question you, Hang In There! Your faithfulness may experience mocking, Hang In There! Your body may feel feeble and weak, Hang In There! Your job may seem uncertain, Hang In There! Your marriage may be rocky at this time, Hang In There! Thought to Remember: If you can believe it, God can definitely do it!

Scripture Reading for the Day: Philippians 1:6

May God Bless you at Your point of need!

To God Be The Glory!!
