REPOSTED: “Now” Faith Friday

I first posted this on Jan 8, 2019 in celebration of the New Year. Here we are in 2020, and it still applies!!! I’m still pressing, what about you?

Keep Doing What You’re Doing….and do it in 2019 even MORE!

I know that it is often said that if you want to see different results you have to do something different, right? As we jump into 2019, ready or not, it’s here, I want to reiterate that sentiment, but with a different twist.

There are some things that we are doing that we should CONTINUE to do…just do MORE of that thing. So I don’t want you may want to change solely, let’s focus DOING MORE! There may be someone saying, “but I did this in 2018 and still not see the results.” I say, don’t give up, don’t cave in, and definitely don’t quit!! Here are some keys because we are just getting started!!

1. Submit your heart, your trust, your will, and your hope to someone higher and more powerful than you!

In life, one must understand that your power is limited by all by yourself. However, when you trust and believe in a POWER higher than yourself to take you through life, you become unlimited, limitless, immeasurable, and the boundaries and barriers are broken. For me, that power source is Jesus! (Luke 1:37)

So I commit to praying more, spending more time with God, tithing more, and spending more time listening to Him.

If you need help with your relationship with God and getting closer to God, just pray and ask God where to go. He will lead you to an amazing Church home with the right church family that will overwhelm you with love and support.

SUBMIT, stay faithful….just press in MORE. This must be at the top of my list, or I can’t experience the fullness of The Almighty!

2. Don’t try to change everything, at one time, this will prevent us from determining “which change” is producing the desired results. This is not a race, God has YOUR blessings saved up just for YOU!

3. Enjoy every incremental success and celebrate them all! These signs and wonders are essential to building our faith! Trust that the small successes will lead to greater victories!

4. Times can and will get tough sometimes, just a reminder, you are on the winning team, don’t quit!!!!! (2 Cor 2:14)

5. Remember that all work, all attempts, all efforts may not manifest immediate results, however you are SOWING into your VICTORY! There must be a season of sowing to enter the season of reaping!

6. Create a perpetual season of sowing & reaping! How? Don’t stop, don’t cave in, don’t quit! Give MORE, Love MORE, serve MORE!!

7. Anything that we value, we invest in, start with God, your family, your friends, your community, and yourself…Start investing in LIFE MORE!

8. Water what you want to see grow! There is so much going on in our day to day, we raise children, we work, we volunteer, we counsel, we operate in the world and all that exist within it, including the good and the evil. We need each other during the good times and the challenging times. We need the family God gave us, and the friends who are like our family. Water your relationships, matter of fact, FLOOD them! Send thoughtful notes, give amazing hugs of encouragement, pray FOR one another and WITH one another, spend time together—even if it’s a 10 minute phone call, pour MORE water on what you want to see grow MORE!!

9. Focus MORE! Examine what your focus is, re-examine it, and then proceed.

10. Increase your Blessing Capacity MORE!

I understand many things when it comes to finances. I understand that God is MORE than enough and will supply all my needs according to His riches in glory. (Phil 4:19). I understand that what I don’t have, and what I need, He always provides. (Matt 6:31-33) I understand and have experienced the miracles & wonders through financial blessings. Most importantly, we are blessed to be a blessing to others, and one way to do this is through financial blessings. It does not matter how much a person makes, it’s what they spend it on. I CHOOSE this year, like no other year, to let God take control of my finances and I will be on a spiritual budget that pay off my debt (Romans 13:8), and I will build an inheritance for my children’s children! (Proverbs 13:23). I will sow into Kingdom Building and the souls of man!

These are just a few things to reflect upon. Some, all, or none may pertain to you, and I pray that this year brings about many amazing changes in your life because you are taking the time to focus and do more!

The world is waiting….
