{ DevoRepost: "Lord, I Cannot, But You Can!" }

"For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure."

_Philippians 2:13

-----

The changes were temporary because it was you doing it.

When you receive the grace of God to do for you what you cannot do, you will experience effortless and permanent change on the inside, which in turn changes your actions on the outside.

The Bible tells us that God works in us to give us both the will and ability to perform what He desires. It is God who removes the old want to’s and gives us new ones. And He even gives us the power to carry them out!

Beloved, look to His grace to do what you cannot do. Say, “Lord, I cannot, but You can!” Then, what you experience will not merely be behavior modification, but true and lasting inward transformation!

{ Getting praised and prayed up! }

That's my weapons of choice which fights the battle for me, and puts one at complete and overflowing rest. Nothing can beat His worship and word over our spirit, minds and hearts. This is how Grace has called us to overcome. By His undisturbed peace that He's died for a moment to let that reign in our hearts for a lifetime! What He has helped us overcome  has destined us to be victors over all that will come against us.

{ DevoRepost: Safe Under God's Wings - J. Prince }

"He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge…"

Psalm 91:4

-----
A farmer walked around his farm to take stock of his losses after a fire had destroyed it. When he came to the chicken coop, he noticed the charred carcass of a mother hen. He used his foot to turn the carcass over and to his surprise, live chicks ran out from under it! The mother hen had died protecting her chicks from the fire.

In the Bible, wings speak of protection. David said to God, “Hide me under the shadow of Your wings.” (Psalm 17:8) Jesus Himself offered protection to the Jewish nation when He said, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!” (Luke 13:34)

He wanted to gather the children of Israel under His wings to protect them, but they were not willing. That was why He wept over Jerusalem. He literally shed tears because He saw the destruction that would come upon His people. He saw the Roman siege of Jerusalem in AD70, when the Romans burnt the city and holy temple, slaughtered many, took some captive and sold others as slaves. (Luke 19:41–44) I believe that He also saw the Holocaust of World War II, which resulted in the extermination of six million Jews.

For us, because we have not rejected Jesus, but have received Him as our Savior, we have His protection, especially in these times of deadly pestilences, natural catastrophes and terrorist attacks.

Like the mother hen who spread her wings and died protecting her chicks, Jesus spread His wings of love and died on the cross for us. And after He had died to save us, He rose again and lives today to make sure that we are well taken care of.

Beloved, see yourself under the wings of your Savior, who has promised you this in His Word: “He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge.”

{ Safe, Hidden & High }

“In the day of trouble He will keep me safe in His dwelling; He will hide me in the shelter of His sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.”

(Psalm 27:5, NIV)

{ DevoRepost: Out of the pit - J&V. Osteen }

“He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and mire. He set my feet on the solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.”

Psalm 40:2, NLT

-----

Everyone goes through seasons when they feel like they are in a pit. That pit can be a frustration or disappointment or a feeling of discouragement, despair or hopelessness. And maybe you can’t see a way out, but you’ve got to know that God is still with you, and He will make a way where there seems to be no way.

Remember, God will never waste anything you go through in life. If you’ll keep the right attitude, He’ll turn that situation around for your good. It doesn’t matter how you got there, whether it was by your own poor choices or maybe someone else treated you unfairly, God wants to use that situation to do a work in you. He’ll take that evil and turn it around for your good. You may be uncomfortable at times, but you’ve got to know that you are growing, and God is building your character.

Today, make the decision to shake off any negative, self-defeating mindsets. Choose to cooperate with God. Trust that He is preparing you for promotion. As you keep an attitude of faith, expectancy and thanksgiving, He will lift you up and set you on the solid path of victory He has in store for you!

{ I look to you (Whitney Cover) - Selah }

"Nothing works long term Lord, and it is because I never ask Him to help me.

Stop looking at the circumstances that have hurt, stop looking at the people, just look to God, and just lay at His feet, because He can do so much more with it then we possibly can ever could."

_Amy

“As I lay me down

Heaven hear me now

I’m lost without a cause

after giving it my all . . .”

You have set me free

You have taken me far away from the battle

and You have shine on me.

{ Jesus, The end of your struggles - J. Prince }

• This struggling self is not your true self, but the Man in God's right hand.
• Jesus did not just die for us, but He died just as us.
• Is Christ facing that problem for you. Look away from yourself. Stop being introspective.
• When God wants to look at you, He looks at Jesus Christ, because Jesus is the new you.
• Our identity today is in Christ Jesus, that means He represents us.
• He did not die as God, but He died, rose and sat down as man. Heaven finally has found a perfect man, and that man is you. Can that man be condemned? Never. 
• "Look upon the face of the anointed (Messiah) and bless me."
• God is looking at Jesus as the basis to bless you, and as who you are, treating you like Him.
• The deliverance is out of self in another person, Christ Himself.
• There is nothing to do with self. We are no more in ourselves. We have been crucified and we have died.
• 1 John 4:17
• Accept Christ as your true self before God.

{ Get over it - J. Osteen }

• Taking control of your happiness. Some people are sacrificing their own happiness, in trying to keep everyone of them around happy. If they do not meet all these demands, then they will fall out of somebody's good grace, somebody won't understand.
• God did not call you to keep everyone happy. You are not responsible for other people's happiness, you are responsible to keep yourself happy. Maybe it is time for them to be unhappy.
• Your time is too valuable to go through life letting people control you.
• You got to put your foot down.
• If somebody is controlling you, it is not their fault, is your fault.
• Quit catering, ignore it.
• You are not the savior of the world, we already have a Savior.
• You are not suppose to keep everyone happy and everyone fixed. If you take on that job, the one person that is going to be unhappy is you.
• A lot of times, we do things out of guilt.
• If you keep giving in, is as if they have you as a puppet. Cut the strings. 
• The sooner you break free, the better off they are going to be. They know what they have to do to get their way. Ignore it, go about your day, and enjoy your life.
• As long as somebody can pressure you in doing what they want, they will continue to do it. If you do not respond, that will force them to look inside and deal with the real issues.
• They are not going to change. You love them, but you cannot make them happy.
• Do not take on that false sense of responsibility. God did not call you to be unhappy in order to keep somebody else happy.
• You cannot let a season turn into a lifetime, putting your life on hold to keep somebody else happy.
• Life is too short, letting people control you who will not make good decisions for themselves.
• You can't make people do what's right. When we love people, it is very easy to take on that responsibility, spend all our time and energy thinking we are going to get them fixed. The problem is, they do not want to be fixed and you got to turn those people to the Lord.
• You make the mistake of letting their problem become your problem. Let that person off your potter's wheel, you are not the potter, God is the potter. God knows how to get people to change.
• Sometimes the best thing is to not rescue them. Don't keep enabling that disfunction.
• "The young man came to himself..." (Luke 15)
• The only way they are going to be free, is when nobody is bailing them out. 
• You are doing too much for other people, and not enough for yourself. Your first priority is to keep yourself happy.
• If you are doing all the giving and not the receiving something is out of balance.
• They are not a friend, they are a controller. They are not really interested in you, but in what you can do for them.
• You have a destiny to fulfill, be bold and take control of your own life.
• Good residence, you do not need friends like that. 
• I do not mind being good to people, but I do mind being used.
• One of the greatest freedom, is to get free from people.
• I would rather please God, and have a few people upset with me.
• Be careful of high maintenance people. You can never do enough for them. They are impossible to keep happy. If you keep dong that, it will frustrating you.
• There will be people you lift you: Brighten your day, Make you feel better about yourself, Bring a spring in your step
• The are people who will thrust you: Motivate, inspire, challenge you to move forward and challenge your dreams
• There are people who are a weight: Pull you down, Discouraged, Negative.
• They are people who are a drag: Always got a sad story. Energy suckers.
• Make sure you are spending the priority of your time with lifters and thrusters.
• You will not lift off if you let other people weigh you down. 
• It should be a season and not a drama.
• You cannot put that negativity in and soar.
• Pay attention in who you are spending time with.
• You cannot go where God is taking you, with them in your life. Your assignment and destiny is too great with someone who pulls you down.
• Before you go to work, you got to be prayed up, praised up, encouraged, set your mind that is going to be a great day. You cannot get into that negative environment going in neutral. You got to be filled up. Do not let your guard down. Get your spirit person build up. Have a grateful attitude. You have the favor of God, you are strong in the Lord, you can do all things through Christ, and something good is going to happen to you today. You got to build up that resistance. Stay filled up.
• Do not let those issues to sour your own life. It is time to break free. Cut the puppet strings. Set some boundaries. Bondages that has held you back for years are being broken right now. You are going to step in a new sense of freedom, joy and a greater happiness.

{ Jesus' Blood Cries Forgiveness, Righteousness And Peace For Us! - J. Prince }

• Hebrews 12:24
• Jesus blood speaks better things. His blood cries out for grace, favor, blessings, forgiveness, healing, redemption.
• The moment Jesus blood was shed, the forgiveness was immediate. God is not counting the world's sins against them. Good news?
• Jesus blood spoke better things, and God justifies us.
• The same blood that tore the veil, removed your sins for you to come in.
• God's way is to cleanse.
• When He washes you, you are washed. How can you ever feel uncleaned? 
• Your blessing is irrevocable, and it is found in the unshakable foundation on the shed blood of Jesus Christ so your blessings and mine is sure.
• Feelings has got to with self, faith has got to do with Christ. 
• The problem is all feelings. It is temporal.
• If God says it, that is so. That's faith.
• Whether I feel it or I don't feel it, I take God as it's word. That's faith. 
• Take your eyes off self. All the pain is caused by this "I".
• We shouldn't put our faith in good feelings. Let it come, let it go.
• Feelings is not to come in your relationship with God, faith comes in there.
• We are so occupied with self, that is why we do not have peace.
• God is not dealing with you on your thoughts and feelings, God is dealing with the blood of Jesus on His sight.

• No man has the last word, He has the first word and the last word in your life
• In everything He has the first place and the last place
• Numbers 8:1-4
• Everything we do is to point and bring glory to the Lord Jesus Christ

{ Testing testing... }

not of a mic check, but more of a forgiveness check. and it keeps on coming. how eggciting can this get? pretty. grace is funny, but it is also real. and when it succeeds, nothing can get in it's way.

i have seen it, i have believed in it, and i will keep on giving it. plus, it is not mine to begin with. so why fret? easier said than done, but it is sure possible.

grace, check, and keeping checking.

ps. letting go is the best decision to cure all bitterness and righteous resentment. so, say no to dry bones as biblical as it says, and start blessing. yes, that too.
