When things start getting difficult and seemingly insurmountable obstacles are blocking the road, people tend to forget God’s plan for their lives and the determination they had to pursue it no matter what happened.
Time also takes its toll. When we receive new revelations from the Holy Spirit, we get ecstatic and jump for joy, but with time the enthusiasm calms down and we may even forget what God is trying to show us.
This is where the habit of journaling becomes vital. It is when things don’t seem to go the way we expected them to go that we have to cling to what God initially showed us. And when we forget His initial directions, we have to be able to remind ourselves of His instructions to keep on track when circumstances are screaming at us.
Journaling may sound sophisticated, but it’s really very simple. All it requires is a(more…)
Has life turned into a drab sequence of colorless events that don’t seem to have any meaning anymore? Are you yearning for more purpose in your life?
If you have come to this point, I want to congratulate you. You are one of the few who knows, deep down inside, that there is more to life than what you have been told.
And you are probably on the verge of discovering it, because this dissatisfaction comes from God Himself, who is nudging you towards His marvelous plan for your life.
If you are ready for a color explosion in your life, take these three vital steps to discover God’s purpose for your life.
Whether it’s a new business or a relationship that promises to be everlasting, people embark upon new endeavors in life without making the necessary adjustments that will guarantee success.
Then all hell breaks lose. After an ecstatic beginning, the first obstacles and difficulties start showing up and, after a few struggles, the whole thing crashes, –causing great pain and disappointment to all the parties involved.
When all along it could have been avoided.
There is a way to guaranteed success in life. Most people don’t take it because they are too(more…)
Having a desire to know His plan, but not the disposition to flow with His program. Most people miss it here. God wants our whole heart, not just half of it, or as much as we are willing to give. His plan is so far above anything we can imagine, that He won’t just throw it at us casually. Walking with God requires a 100% commitment.
Mistake #2:
Not taking enough time to spend with God and getting intimate with Him. It is impossible to hear from God if(more…)
Most recipes for success recommend us what to do without helping us deal with the biggest obstacle for success each one of us has: our mind-set. The problem is that the vast majority of people think wrong about themselves.
And it is that poor self-image that will always stand in their way to achieving success. That is why God has given us His unfailing success formula:
Number 1: To Be
Most people have a poor self image because they are totally ignorant about who they really are. God designed each human being for greatness. Yes, there is a genius in each one of us. He created us with a unique set of talents and gifts and designed a perfect plan for us to walk in.
People keep on trying to gain a hold in life by changing what they are doing instead changing what they are thinking. They don’t realize that their low self-esteem is the real root of their inefficacy, because it conditions them for failure.
There is no better way to get rid of low self-esteem and wrong thinking patterns than drawing close to God and researching what He has to say about your life. After all, He created you and loves you deeply. He wants to help you to (more…)
Condemnation is able to powerfully rob you of your God-ordained blessings. When people feel they don’t deserve to receive from God, their faith won’t work and their lives stall. That is why it is the enemies most effective weapon to keep us from walking in victory.
I am always shocked by how many Christians are tormented with feelings of condemnation. Some mistake they made in the past, or a relationship they blundered up, or just simple every day sin consciousness hovers over them like a dark cloud that won’t allow the sun to shine in their lives.
But the good news is that Jesus came to solve that problem. That is what the Gospel is really all about. He came to pay for our sins so that we could become righteous before God. He legally removed our unworthiness and made us deserving of all God wants to bless us with. And the Bible says it was forever.(more…)
Wouldn’t it be great if you could ask the Creator of the Universe what His opinion is about that issue you are facing? Imagine you could go to Him right now and freely ask Him!
I mean, He knows exactly what is going on in all spheres of your life and probably has the perfect answer for your dilemma. And besides, He is a whole lot smarter than you are!
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. (Romans 8:14)
The Bible clearly states that we are already led by the Spirit of God if we are born again by accepting Jesus as the Lord of our lives and therefore have become sons and daughters of God.
Being able to talk to God and hear His opinion about whatever we are up to is an awesome privilege that is not beyond our reach! It is something Christians should actually take much more advantage of! God desires to talk to us and to communicate with us, but we have to do our part.
Here are 3 steps you can follow to learn how to be led by the Holy Spirit:(more…)
