Break the stronghold of perfectionism and trying to have it all figured out! Our daily bread is just enough. One step at a time!

Have you ever thought that forgiveness and reconciliation were interchange? One in the same? Have you even taught that no matter what someone does , you have only truly forgave when reconciliation proceeded forgiveness? This can be with family, friends, associates , whatever. That is a lie from the put of hell! One on hand , To forgive is to release a debt, to pardon the person and bless them. To let go of vengeance and any malice , wish them well and love them as God loves you. To have humility and admit that we all have sinned and deserve good things from God in spite of ! We wish that for them truly from our hearts! Other the hand, reconciliation is the restoration of friendly relations. Not all forgiveness will come with reconciliation. Both parties must be willing to humble themselves and repent, take accountability, go through the necessary steps and make the changes to restore the relationship to a healthy place! This requires willingness on both parties while forgiveness only requires one! Forcing reconciliation through false humility. False humility being apart of being prideful, a prideful disguise. False humility happens feel we owe it someone/ a religious duty to lessen ourselves (guilt being a tactic of the enemy) or because we fear the judgement of appearing prideful to someone else (people pleasing) so we “humble” ourselves. Doing a disservice to both parties and operating out of a false identity! That is not who God said you are! He calls you to stand! Stand firm in His word about you! His promises! The truth of who you are! You don’t need to not be you to preserve any relationship! And when God divides a relationship, LET HIM! Through conflict you will see what relationships are really of God! Some require more space and time . Do not fight and disobey God fighting against what’s best for your future and your identity in efforts to continue or protect a relationship isn’t for you in this season! God may or may not bring it back . Let God work it out in the way He sees necessary ! And sometimes the best option is to love them from the parking lot!!

Have you ever faced constant disappointment? Feeling like God is against you and just don’t care or see you? Like He refuses to bless anything you put your hands ? Like you must have angered God or simply misheard him because if He really loves you or spoke this promise over you , your life would be different ? He would’ve blessed a couple of your endeavors? Find out just how an ignorant expectation or predication we place on ourselves and our lives can lead to a disappointed heart and distant relationship between you and God! Learn to surrender your will to God’s will! That God knows all things & rejection is not denial! God has a better plan! So forgive yourself for your mistakes! God is making it work for your God! He will fulfill!

Now after this episode, you may feel discombobulated. Confused. It diminishes everything you thought you knew about life and everyone else. It reminds you of the FACT, that you indeed know nothing! That God has a plan that is beyond you and your understanding & you cannot control it! You cannot determine how and when it will come. What it will look like, how it will be , or what you will do in each situation. It is predetermined and you have no idea what it will look like. Leave the world to God! Let Him deal with it! You just steward well whatever He has given you. Be the “YOU”, that He calls you to be. Pray for others, be of good character to others and He will do the rest. Let God handle His people! You just do the best with what He has given you (through the help of Christ) with joy unto the Lord! Philippians 4:11-13 New International Version “ 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” You cannot control all things or unveil things that God does not deem necessary for you to know at the time. You just have to trust Him, and whatever timing and instrument He uses and have solace in that fact that if you rest in God , obey his commandments and decrees and trust Him, He will be your refuge and protectable.

I want to share with you guys my struggles! Confessing my sins to you to let you know, whoever you are, that YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Gods still loves you! Jesus STILL loves you! 🎶 JESUS LOVES ME , THIS I KNOW! 🎶 there’s always a way out as long as there is breath in your lungs and a God that loves you!! So I want to share my sins, past and current, and my recipe so far about how to go about fixing them and hearing from God! #1) Recognize the fruit( what the “act” is. (Where is the chaos and confusion? What is replaying in my head? What am I doing? What’s the sin?) #2) Recognize the intent behind it. (Why am I doing it? What’s my intentions? What am I hoping to get from this?) #3) Recognize the trauma behind it. Be honest with God. (What is triggering my intention? What makes me feel like I need to commit this sin?) #4) Listen to God. Distinguish God’s voice telling you the right thing to do vs. the other guy👎 (How do I get out of this? Is this advice actually what’s best for me or does it just provide a temporary fix? Does it line up with the word of God? Is this the truth about me? Does it line up with what God said about me?) #5) MAKE THE DECISION! It’s all in our decision making skills! (Which “me” do I want to be? Do I want to stay here? What do I want ?) #6) BE BRAVE! Stand firm in your decision. Trust that God loves you no matter what you chose even if you don’t get it righ the first time! It’s a process ! He’s there through it all . You’ll get better with time! And when your tired of it, you’ll make the change! God wade in the water with you! He will never leave nor forsake you! There’s no condemnation for those who are in Christ!

There a misconception of what judging is vs. holding one another accountable! Why is that? Could it be the trick of the enemy to convince us to persuade those who tell us the truth even when it lines up with the word of God? That convinces us that there’s some kind of hidden agenda or malicious intent because it’s convicts us? It makes us uncomfortable. It comes after our security in ourselves and what we think of ourselves. Our pride. The truth is that the truth hurts. Jesus said himself that he didn’t come for peace, but as a sword. To turn man against father, and daughter against mother. There was some offending to be done. Some uncomfortable conversations to be had, some disagreements to cause, some realities to shake! If we are kicking in harmony with the world, are we doing the work on God? Never wanting to the uncomfortable parts because we fear to be in opposition of the world? The Lord God rebuke the spirit of fear in his church! In the body of Christ! Stand firm in the Lord! Remembering that we fight not against flesh and blood but against spirits in the heavenly realms! And the battle is already won so we will speak the truth! Fearing no evil or those who can cause harm to the flesh! We will be offensives when we have to be! Trusting Gods plan , knowing that He knows what He’s doing !

Sometimes we can be so focused on the “Next” that we forget the “Here” and “Now!” ! Too much looking back is depression, too much looking forward is anxiety! May be stay present and steward what we have now WELL! When we are is difficult situations, it hard to fathom that God is STILL is control and there’s a method to the madness. We like to think God turned on us or doesn’t care but there’s a reason why you’re there! There’s someone who needs to be touched , there’s light that need to be in the situation ! Are you stewarding the people and situations God gave you well!? Are you surrendered? Trusting that what God promised you WILL come to pass, there’s just some development and lives to touch before hand!?

I have to push this out just the way I received it! The enemy has strategies too & one of them is to contaminate! He seeks to attach himself to your authority to further his kingdom! He CANNOT take your anointing away but he will try to use it to further his agenda! He cannot take your call away or no longer make you believe that you are not CALLED! But he will try to attach to that identity to make you operate in a way that is not pure! We must tear down every strong hold and take every though captive and make it obedient to God! Anything that goes against God’s word ! It’s not true! It’s the trick of the enemy!

The war starts with the mind first. The enemy speaks lies into your mind and which statement you believe, indicates what your life will look like to you. It affects your lenses and filter on how you see life and how you process it! If you believe truth, you will operate in the truth of life, what God says! But if you believe the lie, you can give license to strongholds to operate in your life! Feeling bound & unfulfilled! Looking for temporary fixes and comforts that leave you feeling even more convicted and like a bad person! It’s a cycle the enemy seeks to enthrall us in! Let’s break this with Truth! Stay close!
