Don’t let your FAITH waver because of YOUR time constraints. Don’t be fooled into thinking that YOUR prayers are going unanswered because of YOUR time constraints. Don’t let DOUBT breed in your mind because of YOUR time constraints. Don’t give up on your dreams because of YOUR time constraints!!! Don’t lose your FAITH because of YOUR time constraints!!!! We already KNOW we serve a prayer answering God but somehow we put God on a timeframe and become frustrated when He doesn’t deliver on OUR clock!! Just because we haven’t received what we prayed for yet, DOES NOT mean we won’t receive it!!! Yes, there are some prayers that are received IMMEDIATELY but there will be prayers that will take some time. TIMING IS EVERYTHING with our Lord!! That’s why it’s so important for us to MOVE when He says MOVE!! We MUST PAY ATTENTION!! RIGHT NOW He could be moving you in the direction of your prayers being answered and because it doesn’t LOOK like what YOU envisioned, YOU are totally BLIND to it!! Please keep in mind, God doesn’t think like we do!! Unfortunately we think mostly in the flesh! If we think in the spirit, we would know that the DELIVERY will be mind blowing!! We serve a BIG TIME GOD!! We will be sitting back saying, I DIDN’T SEE THAT COMING!!! In the meantime, do some INVENTORY!!! Check your surroundings!! Are you in good company?? Have you finished pruning?? While you’re waiting on God, make sure He’s NOT WAITING ON YOU!!!❤️

Have you been excited about a vision God has given you and you couldn’t hold it in and told a few people? Has God asked you to do something that OTHERS can’t comprehend and now the naysayers are in your ear? Saints, we have to be extremely selective as to whom we share information. Whether it is a fellow believer or nonbeliever, we CAN’T afford to have ANYONE put any DOUBT in our minds regarding ANYTHING that The Lord has requested of us!! Some folks don’t have a CLUE as to how GREAT our God is!! They DON’T really know the God we serve!! They don’t realize our God does the UNIMAGINABLE!!! They don’t know our God MOVES mountains!!! They don’t know our God does the UNTHINKABLE!! They will sit back and judge you and your actions!! God gave YOU the vision!!! God gave YOU the order! God gave YOU instructions!!!
YOU will reap the rewards!
YOU will receive the blessing because of your obedience!
YOU will be promoted!!
YOU will prosper!!
YOU are a child of the most High God!
YOU! YOU! YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t worry about THEM!!!! THEM NEVER MATTERED!!!! OWN IT AND WALK IN IT❤️

There are going to be times in our lives during our Christian walk that we will be REQUIRED to take a leap of FAITH and TRUST God!! God knows that we are AFRAID at times and that fear has us PARALYZED however, He knows the LEAP is necessary for the next level. So, what He will do is make things uncomfortable for us. He will shake the ground underneath us and CAUSE us to MOVE!!! Hmmmmm🤔shake the ground underneath us??? Yes, He will turn your life upside down and before you realize what just happened, you have already leaped! That may be getting laid off your job which caused you to FINALLY start your own business. It may be that you were in a TOXIC relationship and all of a sudden you’re constantly arguing more and now you can’t stand him/her to the point that you have to leave with a quickness! It may be that He wants to remove you from some friends and family and you find yourself living in a different state. It may be that you lost every desire to work on your job and now it feels like you are being tortured just thinking about going to it! Everyone is getting on your last nerve all of a sudden!! When God says ENOUGH is ENOUGH, He will certainly intervene if we don’t move on our own!!! His timing is impeccable and it means EVERYTHING!!! Most of us will know when we are being nudged to leap but will come up with a zillion reasons why we can’t 😩 God knows our situation! He wouldn’t tell us to move without His plan already in place!! He knows we have bills, families, homes, responsibilities, etc. We have to TRUST Him! Are you READY for the next level? Do you want what The Lord has for you? Do you want His will for your life? Are you ready for GREATNESS?? LEAP!!!❤️

Is God in it? Is God in your decision making process? Is God in your planning process? Is God in your execution process? If you keep God IN it, you’ll see everything flow with ease. You won’t keep hitting brick walls! You won’t be forcing anything! You won’t be racking your brain trying to see how you’re going to make it work!! You won’t be frustrated because nothing is working out the way YOU planned! When God is IN it, He will show you what to do and when to do it!! He will direct your path!! Whatever you’re planning, KEEP GOD IN IT!!❤️

Are you telling people about something The Lord asked you to do and they are giving you NEGATIVE feedback? So, because they don’t understand, they start discouraging you and you start questioning God! You start overthinking! You start doubting! Sometimes we share with someone who has no idea about the supernatural God we serve!! We share with someone that couldn’t possibly understand the magnitude of what will happen once it’s completed. If you’re speaking to a nonbeliever or someone who isn’t in the exact place you’re in with your FAITH, BEWARE!!! There will always be a naysayer! There will always be a nonbeliever! He didn’t ask your friends and families to do it, He asked YOU!!! YOU will reap the rewards for your obedience or block /delay your blessings for disobedience. We MUST know who to speak to if we can’t keep it to ourselves! We can’t afford to include the WRONG person in our plans! CAN’T!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so easy for doubt to set in when the WRONG person is in your ear. If you need clarity on the request, pray on it! You will receive confirmation! God gave it to YOU and God will confirm it!!!!❤️

During our walk with Christ we will be connected with certain people that The Lord will INTENTIONALLY place in our lives!!!
These SPECIAL people are DIVINE CONNECTIONS! They are placed in our lives to POUR into us! They will uplift, edify, motivate, encourage, educate, etc;. We will be drawn to these individuals SPIRITUALLY!!! They are placed in our lives as we are being groomed and prepped for INCREASE!!! These connections are tied to our destinies! Pre-ordained!!! You could look at it as God assigning us an assistant. This person will be a POSITIVE addition to your life. They will never drain, discourage, speak negatively or consume all of your energy. They are not leeches!!!! You should NEVER feel uncomfortable around them! It will feel natural!!! Now, some of these connections may have an expiration date. Someone may come into your life, drop a valuable nugget and you may never see them again. Others will spend a great deal of time with you. You may even form a brother or sisterhood with them in a short period of time!! THESE PEOPLE ARE SPECIAL!!! Pay close attention to them. You may also POUR into them as well. It can be a give and take. You will be GOOD for each other!!! Do you ever have moments when you’re thinking about someone and then they call or text you? Or maybe you were thinking about something and they say exactly what you were thinking??? Or even knowing something is wrong with them without them speaking it. This will happen a lot with your spiritual connections. YOU WILL BE ON ONE ACCORD!!!!! Handle these connections with care because God has assigned them to you!! Value them and watch the glorious works of The Lord! GET READY FOR YOUR INCREASE!!! ❤️

What’s down in your belly?? What deep rooted pain and hurt are you harboring below your surface? What moment in your life has you behind bars unable to experience true freedom?? What are you holding onto that is eating you alive? Are you living on the outside but dying on the inside? Are you letting something stop you from living the life that God has planned for you?? God says in His word to forget the former things. Isaiah 43:18.
We carry things that are unhealthy and they prevent us from truly living!! Maybe it’s a childhood memory, something we may have done, something that was done to us! We can’t harbor these emotions and live our best lives!! CAN’T!!!
Sometimes we hold onto past hurts THINKING we have released it! If you were to talk about it, does it store up emotion? Are you angry all over again? Are you sad? Are you seeking revenge? Are you hurt? If your answer is YES, you’re not over it!! We have to FORGIVE THEM OR FORGIVE OURSELVES!!! It is the only way to BREAK THOSE CHAINS!!!! Release it!! Let it go!!! Don’t bring it with you in 2018!!! IT’S NOT WORTH YOUR JOY!!!!!! I was holding onto a childhood memory for a long time. One day during my prayer time, I called out the name of the person who hurt me and I said I FORGIVE YOU!!!!!! From that day forward I was FREE!!! Sometimes we have to accept an apology that we never received!!! FREE YOURSELF TODAY!!!!❤️

TESTIMONY: About a week ago I posted about procrastinating with a vision The Lord has given us. So, the Lord gave me a vision to gather my daily inspirations from Facebook and put them in a book. I did not move on this vision right away. I said Lord, I don’t know anything about writing a book! So as we all know The Lord always confirms his word!! ALWAYS!!!! I received confirmation after confirmation and I still was dragging my feet because I felt overwhelmed with this task!! So one day while in jury duty, a public official sat next to me and we began to talk as if we knew each other. Long story short, after talking about everything, she told me that I need to gather my inspirations and put them in a book. That was the FINAL confirmation that made me take action!!! I said okay Lord, I hear you loud and clear, forgive me for procrastinating!!!! I Googled how to write a book and immediately felt overwhelmed but I downloaded my data from Facebook and put it on a word document anyway. I deleted what I didn’t need and I proofread it and made some changes. While talking to one of my besties, Monique Williams, who ALWAYS jumps into HELP mode, the conversation lead me to ask about Michelle Bullock who specializes in this subject! Long story short, my book is soon to be published!! BUT GOD!!!! This started on January 9th!! Tiffany Winfrey, my BRANDING Superstar from T. Smiles Design designed my beautiful book cover!! This whole process happened so fast I thought I was in the twilight zone!!!
I say this to you today to encourage you to move on your vision!!!! Don’t think about the finances, the resources, the knowledge or the contacts!!!! If you take one step God will take 100!!!!! He will send the divine connections!!!!!!! He will lead you to EVERYTHING and EVERYONE!!! I went from being overwhelmed to being overly excited and overjoyed that this is really happening!!!! My ONE STEP activated God!!!! IF HE GIVES YOU THE VISION, HE WILL PROVIDE THE RESOURCES!!! ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS MOVE!!!!!! My books should be here in roughly two weeks!!! WE SERVE AN AMAZING GOD!!!!❤️💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

What’s in your treasure box? What gifts were you given by God that are locked in that box? Do you realize your joy and happiness is in that box? Sometimes we don’t enjoy our lives because we’re not doing the things that bring us joy! We’re not doing the things that God placed inside us. I ask this question quite often with random people and so many of us don’t know our gifts. I have to keep picking their brain until I start to pull out the gifts. Take inventory of your gifts. Seriously sit down and write what you love to do. What puts a smile on your face. There’s joy, peace, prosperity and blessings that are in your box. Indulge in them!❤️

GM Saints😘 The Lord placed this on my heart and I have to be obedient. I will be having a one time conference call on prayer.
It’s time to have a little talk with Jesus!! We cannot expect to get through life and our daily struggles without The Lord!
