It’s okay to feel disappointed. Learn from it and Rise above it.
Don’t let the ‘disappointment’ become the standard of measure in the process of settling. Your response is the difference between Victory & Defeat.
It is everyone’s job to protect your church from becoming a haunt for demons. Demons can’t possess Believers; but they attach to & express themselves through pride, selfish ambition, condemnation, gossip, offense, malice, & hypocrisy.
On many occasions we read Jesus saying, “Come, follow me!”
But in Matthew 11:28 He says, “Come to me if you are tired & carrying heavy burdens, and I will refresh you.”
That’s the promise! Let’s take Him up on that.
I needed this today...thank you @hartramsey . As I was watching your Bible study last night, the enemy tried to come for me and render me as hopeless...but God! This morning was like a Resurrection Sunday. #iGotUp
Start praying again! Go back to your first love. Do those first works. Read your Bible & pray as you read. Your light hasn’t gone out. It’s buried under all that hardship. Come back to life!
Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ. - Col. 3:23 #thursdaymorning#ThursdayThoughts#thursdayvibes
When something happens that seeks to depress, offend, or distract you, ask yourself:
1. What can I do about this? If the answer is NOTHING, give it to the LORD.
2. Is this about them or me? Your answer here is critical.
3. Did this catch GOD by surprise? Answer: NO!

There’s a teaching circulating where people are being taught to say, “I am the Church.”
Let’s fix that. The word Ekklesia, which is translated “Church” means an assembly/gathering of people meeting for common interest.
So, you see, YOU are NOT the Church.

In Christ alone
I place my trust
And find my glory
In the power of the Cross
In every victory
Let it be said of me
My Source of strength
My Source of hope
Is Christ alone
(Michael English)
The Church is so freaked out by other people’s sins that we’re allowing a ripe harvest to die on the vines.
We have been given the Ministry of Reconciliation! Not the Monarchy of Rejection & Condemnation.
It’s time to retire our “high horses” & be about the Father’s Business.
