You're not in competition with anyone else.
You're just at war with your flesh and the version of yourself that you'd hate to be.
Stay in your lane, work diligently at what God puts in front of you, and don't look back.
Don’t rehearse your problems. Speak victory to them.
Don’t magnify your circumstances. Magnify Christ.
Stop thinking about where you are. Think about where God is taking you.
What occupies your mind shapes your words. And your words create your reality. This is what faith looks like.
“And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.”
-Genesis 26:22 (KJV)
🔹When things are going against you, dig another well.
🔹When things are going for you, dig another well.
🔹Then dig another well.
Don’t try to be someone you’re not. The moment you step into someone else’s calling, you step out of your own. Authenticity is what sets you apart. The world doesn’t need another copy—it needs the person God created you to be. Walk confidently in your calling, and never be ashamed of it.
You don't need to be the prettiest, the smartest, the most educated, or come from an influential family. You just need to be obedient to God. Go where he says. Speak what he tells you to. Obedience opens doors nothing else could.
@JDShuttlesworth On Monday night and again during yesterday night's meeting in San Diego, you asked where you knew me from. We moved from Florida to California (via Pittsburgh) to be plugged into RTC CA but I reckon you may have recognized me from this pic. 😀
One of my biggest flexes is that I’ve gone my entire life without being invited to an engagement party. Not one ‘come celebrate our love’ text and I’d like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for that.

When facing a difficult situations—
Let go of fear.
Faith and fear are like oil and water—they simply don’t mix. The moment you hold onto fear, it begins to compound and distort everything in front of you. Faith will help you see the truth.
Everything is going to be alright!
Authenticity isn’t you trying harder to “be real.” It comes as byproduct of love. A person rooted in love has nothing to prove and no mask to maintain. That’s why protecting your heart matters.
Keep offense, insecurity, bitterness, and unbelief out of your life, because the things you allow into your heart will eventually shape the version of you the world encounters.

“Oil only comes when something is crushed,”
Would be great theology if the anointing came from you.
But since it comes from The Holy Spirit…
You can just receive it by faith, and be uncrushed.
Church isn’t a spiritual good luck charm to keep demons or bad juju away.
To belong to the Church is to actively take part in the very thing Jesus is building today. You want to grow closer to Jesus? Get planted in a healthy church and serve!
