Negative thinking will keep you from enjoying life. A negative person expects nothing off a silver platter except tarnish. I was watching television with my daughter a few years ago, and there was a lady on American Idol who didn’t win and during every interview, she was crying, every single…
We need to give God what is his and plant seeds above and beyond that. “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven…
My Dad started reading scripture about money, and he had a revelation. It wasn’t that money was the root of all evil, it was the love of money (1 Timothy 6:10). My Dad read that we reap what we sow (Galatians 6:7) and that the windows of heaven would pour…
Success is about making more right than wrong decisions. Success occurs when we are led, for all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God (Romans 8:14). I am the Lord your God who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way you should…
I’ve talked about pressing through to get lift to the next level. I’ve shared that we need to praise God to get a raise. These scenarios are examples of how to get lift in our life no matter our circumstances. A negative word never lifted someone up, and if anything,…
Joseph went from the pit to the palace. Yes, he had God’s favor, but he also didn’t complain about his circumstances. He made the most of each one. He continued to praise God; he maintained his work ethic and integrity in each circumstance no matter how deep his pit looked….
When we apply Bernoulli’s principle to flying, the air speeds up over the wing, the pressure decreases and lift occurs. Consider, the opposite, when slowing down the reduced speed would cause an increase of the pressure above the wing and create a drop. When things are tough, we don’t need…
Jesus was a great example of living daily with a betrayer and not allowing it to affect his calling. Judas had ulterior motives, and there were signs. He had been selling Jesus out for a long time, but that didn’t stop Jesus. If we give a traitor enough rope, they…
There are people in the world who want to betray us. They are subtle. With some, it’s not intentional initially but occurs after they get off track. There are often signs and patterns that evolve. If we are open to seeing them and we ask the right questions, we can…
Have you ever been betrayed? Judas betrayed Jesus. Absalom betrayed his Dad, King David. If they were betrayed why couldn’t it happen to us? We don’t realize a person is a Judas while they are working their magic. Then when the rubber hits the road, we don’t have the elasticity…
How many of us are living life in a bubble? Sometimes we go through things that cause us to create a bubble around ourselves, it might be a divorce, a financial setback, or something that blew us away that we didn’t expect. We’re afraid to love, lead or learn again….
Do you feel like you live in a place where no one could find you to give you an inheritance? Inheritance is not something we earn. In God’s Kingdom, he tells us to expect it. He tells us to claim it. We receive it because of what Jesus did for…
