God’s Energy Bill



                                                 God’s Energy Bill

• Bribes…
• Willing & Dealing…
• Favors…

            Our salvation is God’s free gift to us. We can’t earn it or buy it. We just accept it by Faith. But, for the POWER of God to operate in our life; it will cost us. We might think our home Energy Bill is high, but just wait until we see how much it will cost to operate God’s Power line. His Power Is Not Free. It won’t cost us money, just a Dedicated Life!   

          Can you imagine how even more corrupt the world would be if we could buy God’s Anointing with money or favors? Think about all the bribes and under the table deals that would take place. You might think things are bad now, but it would be catastrophic if the Anointing was for sell.

           That’s the good thing about God’s Power, it’s available to everyone who is willing to live a life dedicated to Him, rich or poor. The playing field is leveled off. So, the question is: How bad do we want it?
      
 
                         What does it mean it will cost us our life? 
         The apostle Paul said in I Corinthians 15:31, I die daily. 
We can no longer allow our flesh to control us. We can’t follow the world and its value system. We have to daily submit to the will of God. There will be times when this is a hard mountain to climb. 
      
       When you live a compromised life, expect your power to be Shut-Off.

                                        How bad do you want it?

Show Your I.D.


                                                   Show Your I.D.

•Driver’s license…
• Passport…
• Badge… 

             Hopefully as Christians, our ID can be seen before we say a word. The people we encounter every day should be able to tell there’s something different about us. If they can’t…well, then there might be a problem.

           When we take on the ID of a Christian, we are set apart from the world. In John 17:14 it says that we are in this world, but not a part of it. The apostle Paul said in Ephesians 5:1 that we should be imitators of God. Deuteronomy 14:2 says we are a peculiar people. Matthew 5:17 tells us that we are the light of the world. With all that said, there’s no way we can blend in and be unnoticed. If God had wanted us to go unnoticed, He would not have put a Bright Shining Light inside us. Hmmm!

          Our ID can be obviously seen in some situations more than others. For example, when we are faced with fear, the first thing we do is Pray. We get our Peace and Comfort from God, Luke 12:7. Our ID is seen when we forgive because we know vengeance belongs to the Lord, Romans 12:19. When trouble  strikes, we take it to God, I Peter 5:7. When we are faced with temptation, we pray and receive strength from God, Psalm 27.    
        
               God made us the way He did so the world can see and inquire what
       makes us so different. Therefore, we must be conscious of the fact that we
        are God’s Representatives on earth.    
          
                                          May I see your ID please?

What Are You Packin’?



                                              What Are You Packin’?

      …and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power, that
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be gloried in you… II Thess. 1:11-12. 


     • I can do all things through Christ…
     • There’s nothing too hard for God…
     • If God is for me, who or what can be against me…   

          When I was about four or five years old, whenever my mother would tell me something that I felt was questionable; I would look at my sister, who was only two years older than me, and say, “Is Mama right?”

           As insulting as that was for my mother, we do the same thing when we doubt our capabilities when God has already said in Philippians 4:13, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. We can’t move our lives forward if we don’t know what we can do by Faith through Christ.

     For instance, I see talented people all the time, and yet many of them haven’t a clue that they’re Packin’ God given Gifts inside them. Too many see themselves as the “Average Joe” at best. That’s just an illegal suggestion that the devil would love for us to believe.  How can any of us be “average” or below average, when Almighty God created us? Everything God created is Spectacular!!!

        If you haven’t already, take an honest look at yourself and ask God,
“What are some of the untapped seeds planted in me? How do I get them growing, or even sprouted?”

        I’ve done several writings dealing with the subject of being all we were
created to be. My Passion is for people to operate in their gifts and talents. I really don’t think it’s an option. If God gave them to us, it’s for a special reason. Personally, I want to know all that I’m gifted to do. Why not? I have nothing to lose, but everything to gain, especially at the age I am now.

       I no longer say that I’ve wasted time not operating in the fullness of my gifts, because God can still use the time I have left on earth to do some Wonderful things. After all, my times are in His hand, Psalm 31:15. If I live my life looking backwards at what I should have done, then I’ll miss out on what’s ahead. That’s another strategy of the enemy to keep us STUCK. We know God can take all things and work them together for good to and for those who love Him, Romans 8:28.   

          We can’t fail following God’s Instructions. The only thing for us to do is have FAITH in God and get ready to be Amazed at the Seeds He has Planted on the Inside of Us. So, What Are You Packin’?
