Obedience: The Lord's Promise

1/18/07

"The Lord has declared that you (I) am his people,his treasured possession as he promised, and that (I) keep all his commands. He has declared that he will set me in praises, fame whom high above all (the nations) he has made..." (Deuteronomy 26:18-19)

All I have to do to obey his Word and I will be "blessed in the city and blessed in the field. (Deut. 28: 3) The fruit of my womb (children will be blessed...finanices will be blessed, my career will be blessed...I will be blessed when I come in and when I go out." And everything I put my hand to. (8) He will grant me abundant prosperity (incredible increase) (11) He will open up the windows of heaven and pour me out a blessing.

"He will make me the head and not the tail" (Deut. 28:13). If I pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that is given unto me and follow the carefully and I will always be at the TOP and not the bottom. (13)

FAITH

1/11/07

Proverbs 3 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not an your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge (know) him, and the will make your path straight. (5-6) As I was reading over my notes that I call Part I: My walk with God, I realized that God has been strengthen me since I started moving to another spiritual level. It is awesome that God has revealed to me how easy life could be if I just stop stressing and count my blessings. I need to Expect greatness.

Faith= believes

Expectation = preparation (getting myself ready)

Believe in what I just prayed is going to happen (Felton) I got worship God until where I am doesn't matter. That means I must stop being (upset) that I'm still in Dothan. God has laid a foundation and I must us his tools to build my building (my life). Right now hw has given me.

1. A hammer - help put things together

DRIVE- 1/10/07

DRIVE (DESIRE)

1/10/07

Desire= must be hungry

This brings me back to Romans 12:11 "Never be lacking in zeal but keep your spiritual fervor serving the Lord.: In order to make it in this lifetime, I must be highly spirited keep faith strong and know that God will work, is working, and will always provide. Keep the Drive alive! Keeping my eyes on the prize, the vision. And always led by the spirit (Galatians 5:16).

With faith, focus and drive, I can make it in the business. I need to keep in mind and heart these things as I grow as an artist and a child of God.

FOCUS 01/09/07

FOCUS

1/09/07

I realized that I must become more focused. I have great vision and drive (sometimes) but I lack focus. I can start off good but then I fall by the wayside, procrastinating, letting other things get in the way. Now that is a New Day IN THE LORD I need to Do what I set at the proper time. Everything has order. So I must not Lack and push harder to get to greatness.

1. I must get stress out the way.

2. Don't dwell on the problem or things that bother me. Leave trash at the door (and in the trash can), turn the other cheek.

STOP, BREATH, SHAKE (OFF THE PROBLEM/STRESS), LET IT GO.

3. BE ENCOURAGED. Encourage myself and others.would Jesus do this or act like this.

4. Keep a Kingdom building mindset. "I'm I doing this to glorify God.

5. Just do it!! BE about my Father's business. Stop talking and work!

Action speak louder than words.

6. Stop wasting time. I waste a lot of time doing nothing.

Mediation for today:

Be a living sacrifice and stay in the presence of the Lord.

Roman 12

1.Do not confirm any longer to the (way) of this world, but be transformed by the renewing (purifying) of MY mind. (2)

2. Never be lacking in zeal but keep your spiritual fervor serving the Lord. (11)

3. Be Faithful in prayer (12)

Cleansing 01/08/07

CLEANSING 1/8/07

Today is a new day in the Lord. It's time for cleansing. "Create in me a clean (pure) heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." Psalms 51:10. Clean my mind, spirit, body, mouth, heart. "Let the Words of my mouth and the meditation in my heart be acceptable in YOUR sight." In order to be cleansed, I realized I had to let somethings,people, ways go. The things keeping me from staying in your presence. I have to walk the walk, talk the talk and be about my father's business. Speak life and not death. Claim victory on every situation. So from this day on I am a new creature in God.

"Lord wash away all my iniquities and cleanse me from my sins."(Psalms 51:2) Wash me whiter than snow.
