Expect Crisis

Everyone is so quick to discuss the blessings of God that are promised to us. But, they fail to realize that crisis (trials and tribulations) are promised also. Scripture clearly states "...you shall have tribulation." Good thing though, God has the final say!

~He makes your struggle work for you and

gives you grace to stand firm as you go through.~

You ask for patience? Well, patience only grows in an atmosphere of adversity. We often pray for things to happen immediately; but, we have no intentions on going through a process. When you want strength, expect to be stretched. When you want wisdom, expect problems that must be solved. When you want prosperity, expect to work hard. When you want favor, expect responsiblity.

So, in the middle of whatever crisis you may find yourself in today, go THROUGH it! Stay where God has you! Learn what He wants to teach you where you are. You'll be glad you did!

~Expect crisis. But Cheer Up because With Crisis, you can Expect Grace!~

Does your church fit?

Please be advised~

Church is not simply a social network in which you log in and log out when you feel like it. It's not a place decided upon by demographics, list of activities/event , or the crush you have on the one in Bible Study. Church is what my friends and I like to call our "lifeline". It is where we must remained hooked in to gain knowledge, give thanks, and leave encouraged.

Let's go deeper~

It's so unfortunate how we as Believers can go to Church and leave untouched, unfulfilled, and underfed. Now, quite honestly, continuing in sin on a regular basis with no remorse can keep you "out of the loop" when it comes to the Church experience. You know - those times when everyone around you seems to be "gettin' a word" and you remain lifeless? That's definitely a symptom of being out of the will of God. However, if you're living a holy life as much as can be expected - making efforts to refrain from sin - and you know that God has called you to worship/serve in a particular Church (REGARDLESS OF DENOMINATION- that's a whole 'notha blog:)), then you should never leave without getting what God wants to reveal to you.

Know this~

People, we've deceived ourselves! After Church sometimes, we've left saying, "Well, somebody got what they needed today" or "maybe it just wasn't my day". LIES!!! LIES!!! LIES!!! heehee, no....seriously....

If He's called you to that Church, then He'll speak to you in that Church and use you there, every time you go. GET ALL THAT GOD HAS FOR YOU!
