This week is confession week. All week we will have different confession concerning a certain subject.

Career: if there is a needs for a career or a desire for a better career, speak this confession everyday until results are seen. If believing God for a particular career; name that career. For example, Father I thank You for my career as a______.

Father God I thank You for my career. God Your words says in Psalm 37:4 if I delight myself in You, You will give me the desires of my heart including the manifestation of my career.
God Your Word also declares I will receive whatever I ask for in Jesus’ name including my career.
God Your word says faith without my efforts is dead according James 2:20. I have done all that I naturally know to do and now God, I place the manifestation of my career in Your hands.
I bind every attack of the enemy attempting to withhold my career from me and I loose angels to retrieve my career from the spiritual realm and manifest it in the natural realm. I receive my career right now, in Jesus name, AMEN.

*In order to get results, we must be consistent with our confession. Laziness and inconsistency is poison to our faith. Speak this confession everyday until results are seen.

Deliverance: if you or someone else needs to be delivered from any addiction, such as sex, depression, smoking, lying, fear, etc. speak this confession everyday until results are seen.

Father God I thank You I’m delivered from_______. God Your words says since the Son has set me free I’m truly free indeed and I am free from______ according to John 8:36. I bind every thought, action, and word regarding ________ because Jesus Christ has given me authority to bind and loose things as I please. I am not bound by _______ because______ has no power over me. I am set free from ______ in Jesus name, Amen.

*In order to get results, we must be consistent with our confession. Laziness and inconsistency is poison to our faith. Speak this confession everyday until results are seen.

Mark 15:20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.

Before dying on Calvary, Jesus was mocked, spat upon, and laughed at. Jesus endured all of this hardship just for us. In the end, Jesus got the last laugh. His name is above all names. Through His name is the only way men can be saved. Through His blood is the only way we have access to God the Father. In His name is the only way God will supply our needs and grant us our desires. Praise God for Jesus.

In this Christian walk, there are going to be times where we’re mocked and laughed at. But just like Jesus, we will have the last laugh. We will be blessed abundantly, our children will be future world leaders, our bank accounts will full, we will have peace, etc.

Never discredit your commitment to God because of naysayers. Trust in God and you will see the results of Holy living.

Luke 9:26 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

Men of God don’t allow you’re “coolness” to get in the way of your praise and worship to God. Some men believe when you praise God, lift your hands, sing a joyful noise unto the Lord, and express tears of joy around others it makes you look like less of a man. If God has been good to you give Him your ALL.
Women of God don’t allow you’re appearance to get in the way of your praise and worship to God. Some women come to church dressed so nice until they choose not to worship God entirely because they don’t want to sweat or cry and mess up their hair, makeup, or clothes. God has been real good to you ladies; give Him your ALL.
MEN & WOMEN: Don’t concern yourselves with what other people think about your praise and worship. Your praise and worship belongs to God and God alone.

Give Him Your ALL!

Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

While this principal works spiritually, it works in other areas as well.  What we speak, we hear and internalize.  What we expose ourselves to is what we feed ourselves and what we grow on.  So, if we continue to hear positive, biblically based words, we grow our faith in God.  But, if we choose to hear negative or worldly words, we grow our faith in fear, selfishness and things not pleasing to God.  So, we make a conscious effort to improve our speech, make time to hear God’s Word, and declare God’s Word over situations.

Choose to be happy and walk in peace!  Spending time, efforts, and energy worried, upset, trying to live up to someone else’s standards, or rehashing a situation or concept can weigh us down.  So, we make a choice to not allow situations to upset us.  We look at the bigger picture, put our trust in God and walk in a constant state of peace, because that is what Jesus called us to do.

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Romans 6:12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.

If a person gets confronted with sins such as, idolatry, fornication, adultery, homosexuality, drunkenness they make the excuse by saying “I can’t help it.” According to Romans 6:12 that statement is NOT TRUE.
The words “do not let” in this verse make the statement of “I can’t help it” null and void. The word “let” in this verse implies a choice. We have a choice to allow or not allow the pleasures of sin infiltrate our life. The choice is up to you.

For those who want to be free from the pleasures of sin, change the way you think by using the word of God. Whatever desire of sin enters your mind, remove it from your mind in the name of Jesus and declare what you want your mind to think. It wont be easy but, with God ALL things are possible.

Proverbs 3:12 For whom the LORD loves he corrects; even as a father the son in whom he delights

Hebrews 12: 8If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons. 10b God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. 11No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

All of those great promises are for those whom God loves (Jer 29:11, Psalm 5:12, Eph 3:20). If we are His, then He disciplines us. God’s purpose for discipline is to correct us from heading down a path of sin that would lead to destruction, and to guide us on a path that leads to a blessed life full of peace, abundance, right living, and the manifestation of His promises.

So, rather than being stubborn or prideful, we humbly and continuously evaluate our thoughts and actions. Rather than find fault in others, we ask God, what should I have done better?

Scripture of the Day: The Power of Speech Pt. 2
In Romans 4:17 God had Abraham calling himself a “father of many” when he didn’t even have one child. God desires for us to call those things that be not as though they were. Even if it naturally looks bad, spiritually it’s already worked out so, speak what’s worked out.

Some destructive phrases people often us due to the situation are…
-Gas prices are high. (Prices will continue to be high if you continue to declare it so)
-The economy is bad. (It will stay bad if you continue to declare it so)
-The job market is terrible. (It will continue to be terrible as long as you declare it over your life)

Say what you desire and align your speech with God’s word.
-Gas prices are under $2.00. (Your personal desire Psalm 37:4)
-The economy is great. (God healed the land 2 Chronicles 7:14)
-The job market is great. (God will supply all our needs including a job Philippians 4:19)

Change your life if you change your speech.
It’s all in your speech.

The Power of Speech Pt 1
1 Peter 3:10 For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.

The tongue or speech is the most power weapon God has given us. It can create or destroy life or situations (Proverbs 18:21). We have to program our mouth to say positive things or things we truly desire instead of negative things.

Some of the destructive phrases people most commonly use are…
-My head is “killing” me. (Speaking death over your life)
-You are so crazy. (Declaring another insane)
-I’m stressed out. (Declaring worry, doubt, and fear over your life).

Say what you mean and align your speech with God’s word.
-My head is healed (Isaiah 53:5)
-You are funny. (Fact)
-I will not allow stress overtake my life. (Speak what you desire)

It’s all in your speech.

Christ’s sacrifice made us righteous. (Romans 5:19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.)

Now that we are made righteous, we choose to walk right.  Knowing God, we choose to submit to our new nature of righteousness by honoring Him and turning from sin.  (1 Corinthians 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.)

And, God blesses and favors His own.  So, as the righteous who choose to walk right, we experience an empowerment to prosper, supernatural favor, and godly wisdom. (Psalm 5:12 For you bless the righteous, O LORD; you cover him with favor as with a shield.)

There is saying that says, “we win a few and lose a few.” Well, that’s not true for the people of God. God’s word says He always causes us to triumph. When we’re sensitive and led by the Spirit of God and have faith in the word of God we always win, Naturally, things may look bad and look like we’re losing but, if we have patience and trust in God….. WE WILL WIN!!!!
Be Blessed!

2 Corinthians 2:14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.

Romans 8: 1There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 4That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

5For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

We don’t stop at part one of verse one. While Jesus did His part and gave us the option to be free from condemnation and eternity in hell (law of sin and death), we have to do our part and choose to walk in the spirit.

If we are walking in the spirit, we choose to please God by dwelling on and doing those things that honor Him. So, only those of us who make a continual effort to walk after the spirit, choosing to deny our fleshly desires, are free from condemnation. For all others, now is the time to get right!

Proverbs 19:17 If you help the poor, you are lending to the LORD–and he will repay you!

If God instructs you to help the poor in any way; do it. Don’t allow logic or reason to get in the way of obedience. Yes, some of the poor may do deceitful things with the money we give them and some are possibly scamming the public but, let God handle their dishonest ways. For the poor who are dishonest, showing the love of God may convict them to change their ways.  Just know, if we’re obedient to the Spirit of God, He will repay us.

Show Your Love!

 

Daniel 3:16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered King Nebuchadnezzar, “Your threat means nothing to us. 17 If you throw us in the fire, the God we serve can rescue us from your roaring furnace and anything else you might cook up, O king. 18 But even if he doesn’t, it wouldn’t make a bit of difference, O king. We still wouldn’t serve your gods or worship the gold statue you set up.”

Faith is confidence in God. While we must strive to maintain our confidence in God, faith can fail (Luke 22:32).

Trust is commitment to God. That means we make a continual choice to serve God.

So, while our faith believes that God is able and will do the impossible (Matt 19:26), our trust says that even if He does not, I will still serve God.

The Bible says as a man thinks in his heart so is he. How do you feel about yourself? Do you believe you are blessed? Do you believe that you’re prosperous, do you believe you’re healed, do you believe you’re an over comer???
Do you believe you’re fearlessly and wonderfully made? Do you believe you’re beautiful or handsome?
However you think about yourself is what you will ultimately become. Change the way you think about yourself by reading the word of God to see how God thinks about you.

If God sees you blessed, prosperous, healed, victorious, wonderful, beautiful, and handsome; shouldn’t you?

 

Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, said he to you; but his heart is not with you.

Scripture of the Day: Not Condemnation But, Forgiveness

1 John 3:21, 22 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God
and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him.

If the devil can magnify every negative thing we do to attempt to make us feel bad about ourselves, he has us under condemnation. Through the blood of Jesus we have forgiveness or all our sins. By having this knowledge, we can boldly or confidently ask God for our needs and desire without feeling guilty about our past sins. Utilize the forgiveness Jesus so graciously gave to us on Calvary.
Praise God!

Deuteronomy 6:5 And you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength.

Love.  The reason why we try to be holy is not religious nor prideful, but out of love.  When faced with a situation we seek to remember God’s Word so that we respond in a manner that pleases God, because our core motive should be our love for God.

Many times, we move into a mode of self-preservation, seeking to satisfy, avenge, or appease our flesh. When we operate that way, we allow fear in, because we have undermined His ability to provide our needs and desires (Eph 3:20), get vengeance (Heb 10:30), and operate in His strength (Phil 4:13).  So, we study His Word, so that we can recall how to (and choose to) operate in love and obedience to Him.

Be more in love with God than any other being or thing!

John 14:21 He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

Daniel 6:19-21 19At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den. 20When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?”
21Daniel answered, “O king, live forever!

Daniel was locked in the lion’s den to be killed by lions under the orders of King Darius. When King Darius sarcastically asked Daniel has his God rescued him from the lions, Daniel answered saying, “O king, live forever!”
Notice, Daniel was not upset, angry, or bothered by the actions of the king. Daniel knew who his God was and he had nothing but, love and forgiveness for King Darius.
Whenever we’re in a situation where we have to forgive someone who has wronged us, know the mindset of the God we serve. God’s command us to forgive and love our enemies. Just do it. We may not feel like it or feel that it’s necessary but, since God commands it, just do it and we’ll be blessed for our obedience.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new

Galatians 6:15 It doesn’t matter whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is whether we have been transformed into a new creation.

We have received the opportunity to be a new creature, but that does not mean that old desires or temptations won’t arise. Our role in being new is to be in Christ. We have a choice to be transformed. That means we make continuous decisions to operate as He would. So, when situations arise we choose to be in Christ, taking on our transformed nature.

John 12:32 But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.”

Lift Jesus up everywhere you go. In your home, at work, in your schools, everywhere. When we sponsor,  represent, and promote Jesus, His name alone will bless others around us. It will cause the unsaved to become saved. It will cause backsliders to repent and turn from their wicked ways for good. Jesus’ name still and forever will have power. Promote Jesus and lift His name up.

Be Blessed!

Roman 12:21 Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.

Sometimes we focus so much on what we are not supposed to do, that our thoughts continue to dwell there, and we end up doing just that. Then, we repent, and try so hard not to do those things and end up falling again.

But, if we instead work on doing good things, then our thoughts will be on those good things. When we get so focused on doing good, then we, by default, no longer do the bad things. So, let’s focus on reading the Word, speaking with God, hearing God’s Word, and serving others with a God-like love.

Romans 8:5 Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit

Inspired by Creflo Dollar

Habakkuk 2:2 says Then the LORD replied: “Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it.

Whatever vision God has given to you or whatever desire you have, write it down and confess it on a daily basis.
There are three things to consider before confessing your vision.
1. Be sure your vision is in line with God’s word.
2. Be sure it’s a vision/desire God has given you.
3. Be sure you have a right motive when confessing these visions.
Confession with a corresponding action, brings possession.

Example: One vision for our family is to be in a position where we can serve, worship, get actively involved, participate, and volunteer in the Kingdom of God. We want to be able to fellowship with other believers in the body of Christ to reinforce our status and commitment to God. All of this will be done according to Hebrews 10:25 which says Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another–and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Be Blessed!

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,

Everything we need and desire is already prepared and stored in heavenly places or in the spiritual realm. These blessings are not just bare essentials. These blessings are the biggest dreams and desires we can imagine. What we must do is use our faith and works to manifest these spiritually blessings in the natural realm (the earth).
We may not see these blessings with our natural eyes but, because the word of God says they are there we (by faith) believe and receive these blessings. We live righteously in order to position ourselves to receive these blessings in the earth.
Receive by faith ALL God has stored up for you.
Be Blessed!

Jeremiah 32:27 Behold I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is there anything too hard for Me?

Whether in need of a breakthrough, or overcoming a habit or addiction, or anything else that needs to happen and will bring God glory, there is no thing too hard for God. So, we continue to do the things that move us forward and we praise God for His supernatural influence in our situation!

God is a prerequisite God. We have to do something first, before He can act.
In Deuteronomy 28:1, 2 we have to obey God and follow His commands, before He can allow blessings to come into our life.
Deuteronomy 28:1 If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. 2 All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:
In Jeremiah 33:3 we have to call unto God first, before He can answer us and show us great and mighty things.
Jeremiah 33:3 ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’
In Matthew 21:22 we have believe in God’s word, ask God for whatever we desire, and pray before God.
Matthew 21:22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
So while you’re waiting on God to move, be sure you have done all you needed to do so God can act.

Psalm 7:9a O righteous God, who searches minds and hearts 10b who saves the upright in heart. 17 I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

God knows and examines our hearts (our character, emotions, thoughts, motives) and keeps/saves those who have right hearts. Righteousness refers to the faithfulness with which God acts. So, when we pray with a right heart, we expect our desired answer from God (because He is faithful) & we praise Him for it in anticipation for it.

Job8:7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
Our latter will be greater than our past. Everyday we’re alive is a chance for God to fulfill His promise for our future to be better than our past. This means everyday should be better than yesterday. This is a promise from God and God never breaks His promises.
Look for a better tomorrow than today.
Be Blessed!

2 Corinthians 10:12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

When we spend our time comparing ourselves with others, we exhibit foolishness.  The only being who we strive to mimic is Jesus.  Other than that, we praise God that we are incredibly, uniquely, and beautifully made (Psalm 139:14).  And, we continue to look to God as our source, not comparing our things with that of others (Matthew 6:33).  So, when we find ourselves comparing, we must stop, and praise God for creating us, providing all our needs, and blessing us with abundantly more (Ephesians 3:20)!

John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
The world includes: liars, adulterers, murders, cheaters, fornicators, thieves, homosexuals, haters, etc including us.
Just because God loves these particular people doesn’t mean God personally created these people this way. This also doesn’t mean He condones their behavior, lifestyle, or choices. At the end of the day the choices we make is of our own free will. Temptations for one sin may be stronger than others but, it’s our choice if we give in to that temptation or not.
God desires all to be saved.
1 Timothy 2:3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,
4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
Saved from what?
From eternal death from the unrighteous choices we make on earth.
Our job as Christians is to pray for and possibly guide people to salvation and the deliverance of those who are struggling with overcoming their temptations.
Be Blessed!

Romans 16:27 to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.

The word “amen” is not something we just say at the end of each prayer just because. Saying amen, shows the authority God has given us on earth.
The word “amen” means, so let it be. Whatever need, desire, or request we pray for, we ask for it in Jesus name and confidently say amen or so let it be.

If you’re sick, we say we are healed in Jesus name, so let it be.
If you‘re battling depression, you say we have joy in Jesus name, so let it be.
If you’re fearful, you say we have no fear in Jesus name, so let it be.
If you need anything, you say God will supply my needs in Jesus name, so let it be.

Whatever you pray for, we have it in Jesus name and we declare that it is done in the earth by saying amen.

 

Inspired by: Richard Smallwood

Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,

Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

God has already promised us greatness when we follow His purpose for us and allow His power to work within us.  We know that God is faithful (1 Corinthians 1:9).  So, it is time for us to let go of fear, anxiety, and doubt, and commit fully to God’s Will and perfect plan.  If He called you, He has equipped you and will not only sustain, but bless, and prosper you in it!

Mark 16:17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

Whatever your situation is, speak the name of Jesus within that situation.
If there is a marital crisis in the home confidently declare a blessed marriage in the name of Jesus.
If there is a mental issue (depression, anxiety, fear, etc) confidently declare a sound mind in the name of Jesus.
If there is a nicotine or an alcoholic addiction, confidently declare deliverance from any addiction.
*Key Word: Confidence

All of these declarations should be accompanied by a renewed mind. There is no need to declare these things when our sin natured minds are still prone to return from which it came.
Experience the power of God through the name of Jesus to resolve every issue you have.

Be Blessed

Jeremiah 24:6 I will watch over and care for them, and I will bring them back here again. I will build them up and not tear them down. I will plant them and not uproot them. 7 I will give them hearts that recognize me as the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me wholeheartedly.

There are so many things that attempt to distract us from God.  But God is so loving that His ultimate desire is to simply, be our God.  So, when we come to Him wholeheartedly, committing our time, efforts, desires, and lives to Him, He gets to build us up, plant us, and watch us grow, develop, and prosper.  Praise God for being our God!

Psalm 103:20 Bless the LORD, you His angels, Mighty in strength, who perform His word, Obeying the voice of His word!

Whenever we speak the Word of God for our situation, angels act on our behalf. Angels in the spiritual realm react to the Word of God that is being spoken. Whatever we speak concerning our situation or circumstance, angels are assigned to bring it to pass in the natural.
For example, if we’re sick, we declare by His stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). Angels in the spiritual realm retrieve healing to the person declaring the Word of God. Speak the Word of God over your life and receive all that is entitled to you.

Thank God for angels.

Inspired by Pastor D. Golden

Matthew 12:34b For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. 35The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 36But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. 37For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

Psalm 51:10 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Our words have so much power.  Whether we speak negative, crude, or profane language,  or if we choose to speak life, we are held responsible for our words.  But, our speech is merely a product of what we put in our hearts.  So, we intentionally choose to expose ourselves to godly experiences (positive words, thoughts, images) and the fruit is produced will reflect the condition of our hearts.

Psalm 16:11You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Have you ever had a time where you looked around and it seems like you’re suppose to be happy but, you‘re not? You have everything to be happy about (employment, transportation, a place to reside, and spouse) but it seems like something is missing. Well, what’s missing is the presence of God. We can have an abundance of things but, without God’s presence every material thing is unfulfilling.
When we enter His presence, we are guaranteed fullness of joy. This means weather we have an abundance of things or only one, joy to the full will still reside within us. We also are guaranteed eternal pleasures. This means whatever our heart desires we can have. We can have all these things and more but, we first must get into God’s presence.

Find God’s presence by submitting yourselves to God and walking in obedience.

Be Blessed!

Ephesians 3:17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.

The word “may” in these two sentences signifies a choice. Paul is advising us to allow Christ to dwell in our hearts and to be rooted in love. At the end of the day the choice is ultimately up to us. We have a choice not to allow Christ to dwell in our hearts and not to be rooted in love which is really unfortunate to the believer. It is unfortunate to the believer simply because everything surrounds Christ and love. The new commandment Christ set before us is to love God and love our neighbor (Matthew 10:37). So if we don’t have love we don’t have God. If we don’t have God how can we expect to receive all the benefits associated with God?
We must have love in our hearts people of God in order to change our life, our situation, and our circumstances.

Have Love!

Romans 8:9 You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.
2 Corinthians 3:17a Now the Lord is the Spirit
Genesis 1:27a So God created man in his own image

As a rocket sheds pieces when exiting earth’s realm, so will we shed our flesh and have only our core, our spirit, remain. So, when people say be true to yourself, they are partially correct. Many people take that expression to mean be true to your flesh nature, so that whatever you desire in the flesh, you act upon. But, the true meaning is be true to your spirit, the one that craves to be closer to and yearns to obey God. So, make ‘doing you’ (the real, spirit you) cool!

2 Corinthians 4:18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Isaiah 1:19 If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land;
Our prosperity depends on our willingness or effort. The amount of effort we put in developing our relationship with God, the more we can expect from Him.
How do we expect to receive the promises of God when we don’t even know what or where they are in His word?
How do we expect to be led by the Spirit of God, when some of us haven’t even received the Holy Spirit?
How do we expect to have great faith when some of us don’t even listen to God’s Word?
It takes discipline and a renewed mind to receive God’s best.
Do you have what it takes?
