Pleasing to God

Image
Have you ever thought no matter what you say or do...you are would never be good enough? (For whatever reason) But why is that? Why does it seem so hard to please people? On more than one occasion, some of us have been guilty of putting people standards higher than God's just for the sake of fitting in as if our lives revolve around pleasing them. However, one thing I know for sure is that it doesn't take much to please God. You don't have be someone that you are not. You have don't have to sacrifice your identity, your morals, and all that good stuff. All you need to do is believe. Have faith!! It's just that simple. :) If you don't believe me, I like to issue this scripture into evidence as exhibit #1. Picture by: Pinterest via Toia on Pinterest How to have faith? Build your faith by reading God's word. There are countless stories, scriptures of great men and women of God about their faith in God and it worked miracles...

Lay Aside Weights and Cast Your Burdens

Image
There are times when I get frustrated, aggravated, overwhelmed or have those moments of despair when things don't seem to be going quite right...at the same time I try not to waddle in it...Because I must and have to keep in mind the God I serve. He is the God who takes away through the power of the Holy Spirit every feeling of despair, frustration, aggravation, and so on. He doesn't want us to carry around such feelings that would hinder our faith in Him. Feelings such as those are mere distractions. Distractions that can keep our eyes not fixed on Jesus. Now, don't get me wrong, we are entitled to have those feelings because after all, we are only human. However, just to waddle in it and stay in that place far away from God and not allowing the power of the Holy Spirit to destroy those feelings so that you can breakthrough and go forth in victory is another thing. Hebrews 12:1 says, ".....let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us and...

The Walk of Faith (Pt. 4) - The Conclusion

Image
The conclusion of my "Walk of Faith" Series will be about faith that can move mountains. " Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says," (Mark 11:22-23). The mountain in this scripture can symbolize a stronghold, a situation, a circumstance, or an obstacle that is trying to hinder and twist your faith in God, which is what the devil wants. The devils come to kill, steal, and destroy our hope, faith and trust in God. Without faith it's impossible to please God. "But without faith [it is] impossible to please [Him], for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and [that] He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him," (Hebrews 11:6) . Without faith it's inpossible to speak to that mountain in your life and tell it to be removed. Without faith it...

The Walk of Faith (Pt. 3)

"So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you." (Matthew 17:20) It's amazing how a little bit of faith can make things happen. Even if you just have a small amount of faith (the size of a mustard seed), that's better than exercising no faith. Jesus was letting His disciples know that even a little bit of faith can move mountains. There is great and miraculous power in little faith, especially when you believe in God to make a way. If nothing is impossible for us, when we put our little faith into action., imagine if we put a large amount of faith into action. The devil will be in trouble for sure. He'll probably be shaking in his boots. But the key thing is that (small or large), we must put our faith into action. If you are in need of a job and believe in God to make ...

The Walk of Faith (Pt. 1)

Walking in faith gives us the opportunity to trust God to fulfill His Word, to trust in His Character and to believe what the bible teaches. Following God is an exciting journey of faith. When you walk in faith you are believing without a shadow of doubt that if you don't have the strength to walk Jesus will carry you the rest of the way. "And those who know your name will put your trust in You. For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you," (Psalm 9:10). In other words, trust and confidently believe in the Lord that He will never leave you or abandon you. Faith is believing. According to the Webster's Dictionary, faith means belief and trust in and loyalty to God. So, let's break this down a little bit more. What is belief? Belief is a state or habit of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in some person or thing. Your belief in God depends on your state of mind. When it in comes to trusting in (walking in faith with) God, you cannot do it with ...
