Return to Sender!



                                   Return to Sender!
                              Who through faith subdued kingdoms. . . Hebrews 11:33

          • Giving. . .
          • Blessing. . .
          • Serving. . .


  We Return to Sender when we use our gifts, talents, and blessings to serve and help others. God is the Sender. We return to Him when we bless others with what He has given to us. It is God Who is to be glorified on earth through us.

In I Corinthians 6:20 it says, “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” We are to use our blessings to move the Kingdom of God forward while we are on earth. The more we give, the more we are supplied with the goods to give. That makes sense doesn’t it? As long as our “depositories” are dispatching the goods, our cup will run over.


God has endowed us with many blessings. We all have something to offer. Even a pretty smile given at the right time might be the inspiration that someone needs. It gratifies our hearts to be able to give to others. We are made to be a blessing. God told Abraham, “I will bless you to be a blessing.”  (Genesis 12:1-2)

When we return to Sender, we are operating in God’s will. Our faith should  escalate when we think about the Superpower that’s backing us up. There’s no way we can fail working God’s program the way He wants it worked. The Anointing is the ingredient that elevates our gifts and talents to a level that the world tries to imitate—but can’t.  
                             The secret: Return it to Sender!

I Am With You Always



                             I Am With You Always
                                              For we walk by faith II Corinthians 5:7
• Reliable. . .
• Dedicated. . .
• Loyal. . .

God said that He is with us always (Matt. 28:20). We are not alone no matter what we are going through. He will walk with us down the dark scary paths. God knows life on earth is a challenge. It’s designed to be that way. It says in I Peter 4:12 that we shouldn’t think it’s strange concerning the fiery trials that come our way.

        The Holy Spirit is inside of us. Angels are encamped around us. No weapon formed against us shall prosper. All we have to do is believe God, and submit to His will. God’s power is greater than anything that can come our way. Nothing and nobody can stand against Him. We would be more secure dangling from the edge of a cliff with God, than walking on “solid” ground without Him.      
                
     God is faithful to us, but the question is are we faithful to Him? The fears that we face tests our faithfulness. Can God count on us to stay faithful to Him when times are difficult, or do we believe the enemy’s illegal suggestions (lies) that we must bear it alone? Do we have enough faith to take God at His Word?

Imagination



                                       Imagination
                        Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)

• Dream …
• Envision …
• Imagine That!  

Imagination is a tool given to us from God. I call it a tool because it performs a function. It’s used to open our minds to endless possibilities. It all   starts with a thought. It develops into a vision of what God wants us to do on earth. God plants colossal desires in our hearts. Those desires can take us far beyond our range of reality. Our imagination is the tool that gives us a glimpse of what could be. If we can imagine it, that’s the first step to bringing it into existence. I’m sure David imagined himself defeating Goliath beforehand (I Samuel 17).

We shouldn’t brush off that big far-fetched idea, and think there’s no way it can be done. God already knows our limitations, and yet He wants us to do, what we might think is, the impossible. We can’t honestly believe that it was David’s abilities that brought that giant down. The same power that worked through David, is the same power that will work for us. All God wants is a human body to work through. Let’s “loan” (for the sake of a better word) out our bodies for God to use. We supply the drive, and He will supply the power.

I’m in the middle of doing something that is beyond my intellectual capacity. Through my imagination I see Paulette Talks Faith impacting and ministering to the world. That might sound easy to some, but it’s hard for me. My skills are not in marketing. This is a tailor-made challenge. I’m doing what I’m telling you to do: Step out on God’s ability to lead and guide. Use His power and wisdom.

 I heard that the dreams that challenge us the most are more than likely from God. I think it’s designed that way so that we know, and everybody else will know, God made it possible. We had to depend on Him to do it.

Whatever you are pursing imagine yourself in that setting. Let your imagination go wild. No reason to be embarrassed because no one knows what you’re thinking. Even though I just exposed myself to you.
When you finish imagining what you want, say to God, “If this is Your will, tell me what You want me to do?”

Whatever instructions He gives you, do them. God said in Matthews 19:26, all things are possible with Him.   

                 Use Your Faith and Step Out on Your Imagination!
