{ Taking Risks... }

{ Life Interrupted }

The degree to which we are willing to be inconvenienced & interrupted is the degree to which God can use us.

{ Resolution for Women - Priscilla Shirer }

• Know your season in which you can give your best to
• In what you think you have given up, He will invest in you so much more
• You want the legacy in what the younger generation wants to have
• Giving your best in what the primary roles God has called you in that season
• What has He called you to do right now? And do it and do it with your best.
• My Best: I will seek to devote the best of myself, my time and my talents to the primary roles the Lord has entrusted to me in this phrase or season of my life.
• Seasons will change and pretty soon those "no's" will become "yeses".
• You never go wrong if you do what He says.
• Matt 5:48
• Perfect is to be whole, complete and lacking with nothing.
• It is not a command to be faultless and everything to be straight but it means that we want this area of life is to be whole and complete.

{ Pink Impact 2010 : Session 1 - Priscilla Shirer }

• Joshua 3
• After the word was clear, Joshua got moving in what God said to him.
• We get the clear word but we tell God it must not be Him.
• The question on the floor is will we obey immediately, in what the Holy Spirit is telling us?
• Galatians 5
• Rhema Word (Divine Highlighter from the Holy Spirit) - When it becomes specific to your life and it is not a coincidence.
• If you are going to women who are going to be one in a million and get on board in what He is saying to us, we got to act immediately in what He is saying to us.

{ RevRepost: The hard part is over! }

"Jesus has tasted death for YOU. He has tasted death for your dead situation. He has tasted death for your dead relationship. Jesus tasted death for your dead result, your dead dream!

Don’t try to revive it yourself, it’s too difficult. You don’t have to. That ordeal He put Himself through on that cross, THAT was the hard part.

And it is over."

{ Hillsong Colour Conference 2013: Worship - J. Gillies }

• Learn to let God speak to you
• Through the songs, He wants to establish His kingdom in and through us
• It's hard to understand the how when you do not understand the why
• Nothing is better than having clear directions
• When you do not have vision, it can be difficult and you can be guessing sometimes
• When you honor your leadership, there is a blessing that comes through that
• Worship leadership comes down to credibility, and it is built through consistency and trust
• Have your leader to know that you have their backs and you want to deliver the absolute best for the church and the trust comes in constant deliverance
• Carry what your leaders care about and that empowers them to empower you
• You can lead worship but you have to have a trust
• Anybody can sing a song but you have start building a rap-our with the congregation
• Have the crowd to trust you to take them to the right place which is Jesus
• Be there to serve His people and have their best interests in your heart
• Lead them to where Jesus is, and get their eyes off their circumstance and week, and put it on to Jesus
• Have a consistency of turning up
• When you are a new face, your leadership style has to be invitational and not forceful - "Would you..."
• Come from a place of humility and people respond to that
• It is not how well you can sing, but if you do not understand simple leadership principles you can sabotage yourself and it takes a long time to heal that from that set back
• One thing to think about is sow what you want to reap
• If you are in a service, be the person you want to lead - Be the first one to do it
• There are no shortcuts and you cannot cheat the system with God
• If you sow good followship and you lead leadership
• Obedience is a massive thing and the trust will come through that
• If people they can trust you they will give you more opportunities
• Be faithful in what you have been given 
• Whatever God gives you, it is a test
• Do your very best and if you do your best, it is God's way 
• Do it well and He can trust you with more
• There is no fast track
• Be consistent with the small and see how God can grow it in His hands
• Have a reminder why you are doing this and why you are not doing this for
• Keep your prescriptive healthy and on track - Not the details but the core
• What God has placed in your hands, be sure to stay on mission, being faithful what He has given you
• You are on mission wherever you are, keeping in your head that God has given you this whole life to outwork what He wants and needs done
• With every opportunity you get to talk to someone, than you are going to do your absolutely best
• The more you inmerse yourself in what you care about, the more you remind yourself of what your core value and love it, and than you get more excited about it
• Matt 28
• It is a mission but a co-mission that God is already at work with people's lives that we are here to partner with Him
• You are on mission but in partnership with God, and He is already doing something
• The platform is God's territory, and we are there to give our 100 percent and God is at work, where else our platform is outside of that 
• People are watching you
• Our job is not finished when we step out of the platform
• They want you to do the right thing and show them the right way 
• Because you are on the platform you have been entrusted, and that means we are also trusted to show the people the right way off the platform
• Be examples on how people wants to live
• Make sure that it is never chalk and cheese - It is not a show
• What is core in here, is core out the platform, and if those two things drift apart, we're in trouble
• There is a real power to be connected and planted in a local church
• The best thing to remember about any platform that you are on, it is for service, it is for serving
• Understand that we are here to serve
• "I would rather preach to people's mondays, than to people's sundays." (B. Houston)
• The platform is for service and not stardom
• When you say to God, when it is my time to serve, that is your time to shine
• We do not seek to be served
• Come from an attitude of serving
• Jesus is all about the individual that He took time for
• You are there to equip and empower, be there to help
• Do the very best with what you have

{ Day 21: Jesus Is_ - J&C. Smith }

• Matt 20
• Grace is not fair
• Expect things from God that you do not deserve
• We have earned and deserve nothing but death but the whole of Christianity is about accepting and receiving, and not earning and achieving

My faith it stands on the empty grave”

{ DevoRepost: When It Is More Blessed To Receive - J. Prince }

"… Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

_Luke 10:42

If Jesus comes to your home, what would you do? Would you ask Him to sit down and then start serving Him? Or would you sit down and start drawing from Him? Would you let Him serve you and fill you up?

Jesus walked into the home of two sisters, Martha and Mary. (Luke 10:38) Martha saw His weariness. She knew that Jesus had been walking for miles, going about doing good, healing the sick and meeting the people’s needs. Obviously, He must be tired, she thought, so she saw Him as someone she had to care for.

Mary, however, saw beyond Jesus’ external weariness into His divinity. She saw that He was someone she needed to draw from. And by doing that, she made Him feel like God — the Savior who had come to serve her and not to be served by her. (Matthew 20:28) Jesus even commended her for choosing the better portion!

Our human minds just find that hard to believe. Some people tell me, “But Pastor Prince, the Bible says that it is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35) When it comes to man, that is true. But when it comes to God, He wants to give. In fact, unless you learn how to receive from God, you will have nothing to give to man.

Which sister gave Jesus the sweeter feast and filled Him up? Martha who was busy preparing food for Him? Or Mary who sat still and drew deeply from Him? It was Mary. She made Jesus feel a sense of His divine glory. She allowed Jesus to be the giver, to be God.

Like Martha, we always reverse the roles. We somehow think that God needs our service, but He actually wants to fill us first. Mary’s ears and heart were more precious to Jesus than Martha’s hands and feet.

We use our ears and hearts to draw from Jesus. We use our hands and feet to serve Him, and there is a place for that. But our sense and appreciation of God’s divine fullness is more precious to Him than all the service we can render Him. And when you draw from Him, you cannot help but become a great giver and server.

ps. i don't want to make sandwiches that J did not order.

{ Forever safe in His arms }

"I give them a life that is unceasing, and death will not have the last word. Nothing or no one can steal them from My hand. 

My Father has given the flock to Me, and He is superior to all beings and things. No one is powerful enough to snatch the flock from My Father’s hand. 

The Father and I are one.

_John 10:28-30 (The Voice)

{ DevoRepost: Bold as a lion! - J&V. Osteen }

“The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.”
(Proverbs 28:1, NKJV)

-----

You are called to live a bold, confident and overcoming life. You don't have to live under the weight and pressure of fear. You don't have to live with daily anxiety. 

Because of Jesus, fear, worry and uncertainty are beneath you. 

When you rise up in faith, knowing that God is with you and for you, all doubt and fear has to leave your life.

Righteousness is God’s way of doing things. 

When you do things His way, when you are submitted to His plan for your life, He will empower you with boldness and strength. He will equip you to walk in His victory.
