2016 is Your Year!

2016 is Your Time!

Today is your day to dust off your dreams and bring them back to life!  Gone are the days of complacency. Gone are the days of fear. Gone are the days of doubt.  You have been delayed long enough!  God has placed a wonderful purpose within the fabric of your being.  Over the past 10 years, you have been slowly discovering who you are and who Christ has called you to be.  Through difficult times, you learned that you are tenacious and that God is an encourager of the weak.  Through joyful times, you learned that you are worthy of God’s peace and purpose and that God’s plan for you is the best plan.

In the fullness of time, you have learned more about yourself in this season then at any other point in your life.  You will now understand that Delay is not Denial in the eyes of the Lord.  The delay was necessary for you to continue your growth and development for this moment.  You are now ready for your debut.

Trust God!

Walk in Faith!

Hesitation will not be your strength in this season.  Do not miss this open door season!

This is the time to move, to reach, to stretch, to strive!

Your door is open!

Go Forth!

As Maria Robinson once said, “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” Nothing could be closer to the truth. But before you can begin this process of transformation you have to stop doing the things that have been holding you back.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

1. Stop spending time with the wrong people. – Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you. You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot. Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth. And remember, it’s not the people that stand by your side when you’re at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you’re at your worst that are your true friends.

2. Stop running from your problems. – Face them head on. No, it won’t be easy. There is no person in the world capable of flawlessly handling every punch thrown at them. We aren’t supposed to be able to instantly solve problems. That’s not how we’re made. In fact, we’re made to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and fall. Because that’s the whole purpose of living – to face problems, learn, adapt, and solve them over the course of time. This is what ultimately molds us into the person we become.

3. Stop lying to yourself. – You can lie to anyone else in the world, but you can’t lie to yourself. Our lives improve only when we take chances, and the first and most difficult chance we can take is to be honest with ourselves. Read The Road Less Traveled .

4. Stop putting your own needs on the back burner. – The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too. Yes, help others; but help yourself too. If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do something that matters to you, that moment is now.

5. Stop trying to be someone you’re not. – One of the greatest challenges in life is being yourself in a world that’s trying to make you likeeveryone else. Someone will always be prettier, someone will always be smarter, someone will always be younger, but they will never be you. Don’t change so people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will love the real you.

6. Stop trying to hold onto the past. – You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last one.

7. Stop being scared to make a mistake. – Doing something and getting it wrong is at least ten times more productive than doing nothing. Every success has a trail of failures behind it, and every failure is leading towards success. You end up regretting the things you did NOT do far more than the things you did.

8. Stop berating yourself for old mistakes. – We may love the wrong person and cry about the wrong things, but no matter how things go wrong, one thing is for sure, mistakes help us find the person and things that are right for us. We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future. Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come.

9. Stop trying to buy happiness. – Many of the things we desire are expensive. But the truth is, the things that really satisfy us are totally free – love, laughter and working on our passions.

10. Stop exclusively looking to others for happiness. – If you’re not happy with who you are on the inside, you won’t be happy in a long-term relationship with anyone else either. You have to create stability in your own life first before you can share it with someone else. Read Stumbling on Happiness .

11. Stop being idle. – Don’t think too much or you’ll create a problem that wasn’t even there in the first place. Evaluate situations and take decisive action. You cannot change what you refuse to confront. Making progress involves risk. Period! You can’t make it to second base with your foot on first.

12. Stop thinking you’re not ready. – Nobody ever feels 100% ready when an opportunity arises. Because most great opportunities in life force us to grow beyond our comfort zones, which means we won’t feel totally comfortable at first.

13. Stop getting involved in relationships for the wrong reasons. – Relationships must be chosen wisely. It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company. There’s no need to rush. If something is meant to be, it will happen – in the right time, with the right person, and for the best reason. Fall in love when you’re ready, not when you’re lonely.

14. Stop rejecting new relationships just because old ones didn’t work. – In life you’ll realize that there is a purpose for everyone you meet. Some will test you, some will use you and some will teach you. But most importantly, some will bring out the best in you.

15. Stop trying to compete against everyone else. – Don’t worry about what others doing better than you. Concentrate on beating your own records every day. Success is a battle between YOU and YOURSELF only.

16. Stop being jealous of others. – Jealousy is the art of counting someone else’s blessings instead of your own. Ask yourself this: “What’s something I have that everyone wants?”

17. Stop complaining and feeling sorry for yourself. – Life’s curveballs are thrown for a reason – to shift your path in a direction that is meant for you. You may not see or understand everything the moment it happens, and it may be tough. But reflect back on those negative curveballs thrown at you in the past. You’ll often see that eventually they led you to a better place, person, state of mind, or situation. So smile! Let everyone know that today you are a lot stronger than you were yesterday, and you will be.

18. Stop holding grudges. – Don’t live your life with hate in your heart. You will end up hurting yourself more than the people you hate. Forgiveness is not saying, “What you did to me is okay.” It is saying, “I’m not going to let what you did to me ruin my happiness forever.” Forgiveness is the answer… let go, find peace, liberate yourself! And remember, forgiveness is not just for other people, it’s for you too. If you must, forgive yourself, move on and try to do better next time.

19. Stop letting others bring you down to their level. – Refuse to lower your standards to accommodate those who refuse to raise theirs.

20. Stop wasting time explaining yourself to others. – Your friends don’t need it and your enemies won’t believe it anyway. Just do what you know in your heart is right.

21. Stop doing the same things over and over without taking a break. – The time to take a deep breath is when you don’t have time for it. If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting. Sometimes you need to distance yourself to see things clearly.

22. Stop overlooking the beauty of small moments. – Enjoy the little things, because one day you may look back and discover they were the big things. The best portion of your life will be the small, nameless moments you spend smiling with someone who matters to you.

23. Stop trying to make things perfect. – The real world doesn’t reward perfectionists, it rewards people who get things done. Read Getting Things Done .

24. Stop following the path of least resistance. – Life is not easy, especially when you plan on achieving something worthwhile. Don’t take the easy way out. Do something extraordinary.

25. Stop acting like everything is fine if it isn’t. – It’s okay to fall apart for a little while. You don’t always have to pretend to be strong, and there is no need to constantly prove that everything is going well. You shouldn’t be concerned with what other people are thinking either – cry if you need to – it’s healthy to shed your tears. The sooner you do, the sooner you will be able to smile again.

26. Stop blaming others for your troubles. – The extent to which you can achieve your dreams depends on the extent to which you take responsibility for your life. When you blame others for what you’re going through, you deny responsibility – you give others power over that part of your life.

27. Stop trying to be everything to everyone. – Doing so is impossible, and trying will only burn you out. But making one person smile CAN change the world. Maybe not the whole world, but their world. So narrow your focus.

28. Stop worrying so much. – Worry will not strip tomorrow of its burdens, it will strip today of its joy. One way to check if something is worth mulling over is to ask yourself this question: “Will this matter in one year’s time? Three years? Five years?” If not, then it’s not worth worrying about.

29. Stop focusing on what you don’t want to happen. – Focus on what you do want to happen. Positive thinking is at the forefront of every great success story. If you awake every morning with the thought that something wonderful will happen in your life today, and you pay close attention, you’ll often find that you’re right.

30. Stop being ungrateful. – No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs. Instead of thinking about what you’re missing, try thinking about what you have that everyone else is missing.

Servanthood – What Would Christ Do?

This dynamic teaching is based on the book entitled God’s Armorbearer by Terry Nance.

Look at  this closely

 The President of Argentina received this picture and called it “junk mail”. A man received this picture &  immediately sent out copies. 

Alberto Martinez received this picture, gave it to his secretary to make copies but they forgot  to distribute.

This picture is miraculous & sacred .

The moment you receive it, say:

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come.  Thy will be done, on  earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we  forgive those who trespass against us.  Lead us not  into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever.  Amen .

GOD WANTED ME TO TELL YOU,

It shall be well  with you this coming year .

No matter how much your enemies try this year, they will not  succeed .

You have been destined to make it and you shall surely achieve all your goals this year .

For all of 2011, all your agonies will be diverted and victory and prosperity will be incoming in abundance .

Today God has confirmed the end of your sufferings, sorrows and pain because HE that sits on the

throne has remembered you.  He has taken away the hardships and given you JOY . He will never let you down.

I knocked at heaven’s door this morning,  God asked me . My child! What can I do for you? And I  said,

‘Father, please protect and bless the person reading this message . . . ‘

This is a  Novena from Mother Theresa that started in 1952 …

If this has blessed you feel free to pass it on…..

As life would have it, this past weekend was very interesting to say the least. I faced with a few circumstances that have tested my faith and all I can say is….. BUT GOD!

In the midst of trials and adversity, we must always seek to find the blessing behind the disappointments and the setbacks. Even when I desired to roll up in a ball and wallow in self pity, my spirit man fought my flesh vehemently –

and WON!

Each day as I walk through this life, God ceases to amaze me with His ability to grow and mature me in ways that are unfathomable to me.

Today, I bless God for the growth and the maturity that I have acquired.

Although I know I have won this fight, I stand firm on Him and do not glory in myself. For it is only through God’s grace and mercy that we are able to live this life effectively for Him.

I pray that you have a blessed day and enjoy the devotional readings that follow provided by DaySpring.com.

Jesus Calling

Keep your eyes on Me! Waves of adversity are washing over you, and you feel tempted to give up. As your circumstances consume more and more of your attention, you are losing sight of Me. Yet

I am with you always, holding you by your right hand. I am fully aware of your situation, and I will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able to bear.

Psalm 73:23; I Corinthians 10:13

Excerpt from the devotion for February 27th from the book

Jesus Calling by Sarah Young

A Friend in the Storm

When it feels like life has failed you and your mind’s been cast in war,

please remember Love’s forever; I will pass you through this door.

You don’t cry alone in battle, even when you think you’ve lost.

Please believe this truth, My winner: Heaven paid your victor cost.

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18

God Will See You Through

Sometimes it’s hard to see through our tears.

But even when we can’t see, God has promised to be there – loving us, strengthening us, giving us what we need to face each day.

No matter what happens, God will hold you close and see you through because you are so precious to Him.

God cares, cares right down to the last detail. James 5:11 The Message

A Valentine may play a love song for you, but God sings you the sweetest love song in the universe.

The Lord your God… will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17

A Valentine may give you flowers, but God sent you the most beautiful rose of all. Jesus.

I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. Song of Solomon 2:1

A Valentine may bring you chocolate, but God provides you with something even sweeter, His Word.

How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Psalm 119:103

A Valentine may love you for a lifetime, but God loved you before you were born and will love you for all eternity.

Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love…with lovingkindness I have drawn you. Jeremiah 31:3

Praying you’re blessed by the wonderful love of God this Valentine’s Day and always! (www.DaySpring.com)

The First Valentine

For God so loved the world

that He gave His only begotten Son,

that whosoever believeth in Him
