Yielding to Gods Agenda

HOW do I yield to Gods agenda for my life?

You may be asking question! the answer is simple yet not always Easy!

We can yield to the agenda of God in our every day lives by completely surrendering to The Lord! when we completely surrender to the Lord then we are obedient to everything that He wants from us! but the important part before surrendering to God is being obedient to God even in the small things! God's Agenda for your life is so much bigger than our own plans that we want for ourselves! it takes a lot of trust in God to lay down our plans and pick up his agenda!-- God proves himself faithful to me in my life step by step, day by day. and that makes me trust him even more! knowing that He will never fail me! in this post, I want to encourage you to step out for God and watch Him prove himself faithful to you and in your life! He is faithful and his plans for you are great but it all boils down to will you trust Him!?
God spoke to Moses at the burning bush (Think about this for a second) if Moses wouldn't have said yes to God and if he would not have yielded to Gods agenda, how would the Israelites gotten freed from bondage? Moses tried to come up with excuses as to why he couldn't do it! But God said that's fine! he then sent Moses his brother Aaron to speak for Him! that was God proving himself faithful!

I love to think about how Moses went to pharaoh ten times! after the fifth try I would have been saying "God are you sure you want me to do this?" ..

Listen to this"

when Pharaoh decided to let his people go, the Israelites rejoiced probably saying "finally our deliverance is here! As they were facing the sea to cross over they found themselves pinned. Between the water and the Egyptian army.. if it was me I would probably be thinking oh no! but you see Moses had to step out and faith and listen to the Lord. When moses parted the red sea, that was a demonstration on Gods Power AND Gods faithfulness unto his people!

You see Moses could've given up at the red Sea! But he was willing to yield to Gods agenda! Gods agenda was for him to part the red sea! and even when things did not look right! God proved himself faithful!!

God WILL prove himself faithful to you if you yield to his agenda for your life! as you can see by example in the story of Moses, things were not always easy! But in the end we can clearly see that God is and will always be faithful to those who LOVE him and to those who LIVE in Him!
God Bless!

Welcome to the month of November! during this month the Lord has pressed upon me to really think about  the things that he has blessed me with and truly be thankful!

--
Today I just wanted to share with you a few things that the Lord has been speaking to me about!

1- The Lord is saying that this is a season for a new standard of worship!-- God is setting the bar higher for worship leaders all around! The Lord is now expecting more from us. We must Press deeper into him and learn how to flow with him! This only comes about when we have that one on one intimate relationship with God! and so for all the worship leaders (including myself) We must get into that private place with God to get to know his heart!(Read the word/Pray(Pray in the spirit) if we've never been to a certain place in God how can we lead others? we Must KNOW the way!

2- the standard for life! -- We must understand that because we are leading others into a pure and holy place we must keep ourselves our as well! we must live a life that is pleasing and glorifying unto the Lord! OUTSIDE of the realm of music! Make sense? we have to make sure that our lives glorify God.. Not just when we are leading worship but all the time!

---
I pray that you take these two "Nuggets" and really meditate on them Pray about how you can apply these two "Keys" into your life! I believe that us worship leaders can benefit from The 2 points that the Lord spoke to me about!

God Bless!

Royalty



This weekend has been long, Fun, and stressful for me! overall I had a GREAT weekend! with having the opportunity to play at Gospel Joins Symphony and going to Homecoming I have had a blast. Out of everything that has happened this week the Lord simply told me to write. Without first giving me a topic to write about! (weird?) The Lord began to speak to me, he simply said "You are Royalty." .... I've heard that spoken to me Tons of times! But when the Lord spoke that to me it came with a new understanding and revelation! I absolutely love getting fresh revelation! Not from a preacher a teacher or a prophet etc. it comes with so much more impact when you receive from God yourself! (I do appreciate EVERY 5 fold ministry gift that is represented in the body of Christ!) so when the Lord told me this I began to hear a new "Ring" To it.. Because I am born again and of Christ, I am IN Him, He is the KING so I am living with his ""Benefits"" (benefit of salvation, Gift of the holy spirit) and not just only me. But because YOU are choosing to live in Christ your not only IN him but he RECOGNIZES you as his OWN as his CHILD .. God knows you! Jesus knows you! The Lord is saying it is time for us to come to Him! we are born into this natural world.. But even before that Christ created us to Glorify Him! God wants RELATIONSHIP and INTIMACY with us! he wants us to spend time with us!.. Since Jesus is KING and to every believer he is Our Dad/Father (I love saying that he is my father! because he is! I am his child!) Then that means we as Believers walk in spiritual authority! we can not be afraid to exercise it!

My question for you is. "Are You Royalty"? have you decided to follow Christ and make him the head of your life? If not I encourage you to do so! we have so much room for more people to join the Body Of Christ.. And we will never run out of room!.
If you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord, You will be saved! ........
(After confessing you must live it out!)
God bless!

Seasons

In the body of Christ it is important to know what season your in. I would not wear my winter clothes in the summer time. It is hard to know what season your in and what God wants you to do when you don't know how to hear his Voice! For Example: God may be trying to tell you that is is time for you to take a break from an activity you enjoy but if you don't know how to hear his voice than you would keep playing your activity and miss out on what God is trying to tell you! Make Sense?
 Good! Just how seasons change here on earth (Ohio is pretty Crazy when it comes to weather!) God puts us in Seasons I don't want you to think you have to use the word Seasons. you could say Time period  etc.. Sometimes in the body of Christ we can be stubborn and not want to fight against Transition and change when God is saying that This change is to BETTER you! We can fight all we want but just like in this earthly realm I can say man I wish summer could last all year round! but does it? No because We as people can not control Weather (I'm not a super hero) We can not change what God wants to do in our lives! we can fight against it but that's not going to do anything! I'd Rather Go with God and enter into transition KNOWING and TRUSTING that this is better for me, RATHER than fighting against it wasting time and Energy! God wants to teach you how to hear His voice So that you can know what his plan is for you. God speaks to me in various ways, I've never heard an audible voice but I get impressions in my spirit from the Holy Spirit. Since I know that he is dwelling in me I know that he can speak to me.. If you want to hear from God it is very simple! spend time with Him! get in the Bible and say God give me revelation and understanding of you word. Stay in pursuit of his presence! because that's what sustains us and gives us LIFE! Be Blessed! i'm always open for prayer requests! feel free to hit me up!

Spirit Lead Me

In order to be Spirit Lead we must first have The Holy Spirit inside of us! Once we are born again and He is dwelling within us we can be Lead by Him with clear vision, with confidence, and live in Righteousness! I am determined to live like Jesus no matter what the cost is! Living life with the Holy spirit give you a much better/Clear-er perspective on your life and things around you! Simply because with the holy-spirit you are able to perceive and understand the things of the Spirit! (1Cor2:14-16) When living in the spirit we understand that we don't just live life in This natural world, that the things of the spiritual realm are all around us.  our bodies are just temporary housing! that's why  it is important to give your life to Christ and to be Born Again. Living a Spirit Lead life (Lead by the holy spirit) also means that you must Obey the holy spirit and live according to the word (Truth) we all fall short of Gods glory but we must continue to get up and Let go of our sinful nature, To break it down:-We have to stop entertaining sin and foolishness in our lives.. Its really that simple! we (Gods people) who are called for HIS purpose must not Entertain Sin in our lives! I understand we fall. But we must come to the understanding that God is calling us to live in HIM and to live like Him, which means we have to develop the characteristics of God! and we must bear Fruit! The enemy loves to come against us and tempt us but those are the times where we must lean on God's strength! (1Cor 10:13) in our times of weakness We MUST lean on Gods strength because we cant overcome the enemy without the Help of the Lord! His strength is available to you! (Use it)


How do I live a Spirit Lead life?

Give your life to Jesus! (its the best decision you can ever make) If you confess with your mouth and believe in your Heart that Jesus is Lord you shall be saved! (Romans 10:9)
But it doesn't stop with just confessing it! Now you must LIVE it (follow in the pattern of Jesus) Now that your born again, It's time to live by biblical principles
 --Get in the bible, Read it Jesus IS the example for how we are to live!-- Pray and ask God, "How should I be living, what am I doing that doesn't look like you? When you ask God, He answers!
GO --  Now it's your time to show Jesus through your Lifestyle! and tell others about how the Lord is changing your life and what he is doing! People will want to know more!

Prayer is our essence of communication with God! you don't have to be on your knees! or even with your eyes closed! just talk to the Lord! Communicate with him! and let him communicate with you!


--I Pray that you are challenged to live for the Lord Like never before! I pray right now in the name of Jesus that the Lord will give you a passion to get to know Him, (He already knows you!) for those who have been running the race, I pray that you will have renewed strength and ENDURANCE to continue in pursuit of Him!! God bless you all!
Stay in pursuit of his Presence!
