Grace is Jesus, right?

So anything we add or take away from grace, we take away from Jesus. He doesn’t need our help, yet we continue to try to add to His fullness thinking in our human minds that we have the capability to enhance him or make him look better or make him more palatable to other people.

Some of us are so easily offended, that when we think that Jesus doesn’t need our help, it offends us. It makes us upset. We feel like we have to do something in order to make Him look better. In actuality, He doesn’t need our help. At all. His goodness speaks for itself. And once we allow His goodness to start showing through us and in our lives, we will remember and see that He actually does not need our help. We will see for ourselves that He is what he says He is.

He is grace. Period.
He is fullness. Period.
He is complete. Period.

…Psalm 23:6…

17/09/2021

Growing up in church, I can honestly say I have always felt there was a “more” that I couldn’t get to. I heard all these wonderful things about Yahweh & Jesus and yet…they seemed so far off, not possible for today, and an illusion. I kept thinking to myself, “I know that there’s more to the God of the universe than what I’m seeing and hearing…”

So…I ventured on a journey (and I’m still on it). I tried performance - trying to be Holy, trying to be obedient, trying to live perfect, trying not to mess up, because surely this was the “more”. Surely this is what God desired from me. I had to “prove” I was His and I would get the “more”.

What I got was an anxious, overwhelmed, and discouraged mind & heart.

That’s not the answer.

But I didn’t stop. And I haven’t stopped. I stopped trying to prove and perform. I stopped trying to please everyone. I stopped “trying”….

I just was.
I choose to just be.

I started really reading the Word from a relational standpoint and not from a need to have a “word” to share. I started absorbing His love through His Logos Word and tapping into hearing Him speak His Rhema Word.

I started learning about identity and sonship - learning that once I accepted Christ as my Savior, I was now a SON. I have Holy Spirit inside of me. I am covered in the righteousness, atonement, character, and love of Christ. I am who I am because of Him and everything I do is because of Him.

All of those things I tried to do - they cannot be produced authentically unless they are a by-product of my relationship with Christ and sonship with Abba Father. They aren’t things to perform and do for accolades or applause, they are things that are produced from seeds of His Word and His character.

What I learned was that the “more” of God was answered in one word for me - SONSHIP.

It’s where I learn who I am through who He is. It is where I find my shelter, my answers, my comfort, my completeness, and my identity. I live my life to honor Him and when I mess up - I shake it off and keep tracking. I don’t dwell on the failures, I dwell on the Father. I listen all day - inviting Holy Spirit to come show and speak to me through everyday, practical life.

We don’t need revival for more of God.
We don’t need to do more for more of God.
We don’t need to perform or prove anything for more of God.

What we need is to learn our identity through Him, the Father, and allow Him to begin to work through and in us.

And honestly - I’ve never lived in such a place I live in now. It’s not problem free because life is still life, but lemme tell you…

I have experienced peace, joy, generosity, wisdom, and so much more like never before.

Know who you are today…

Reading in Colossians this morning where Paul (& Epaphras) were praying over the church of Colossae & it’s believers. A simple, yet powerful prayer that spoke to me, so I decided to take out the pronouns they used and replace them with personal ones and prayed it aloud this morning:

“Father, May I clearly know Your will and achieve the height and depth of spiritual wisdom and understanding. May my life be a credit to you, Lord; and what’s more, May I continue to delight You by doing every good work and growing in the true knowledge that comes from being close to You. Strengthen me with Your infinite power, according to Your glorious might, so that I will have everything I need to hold on and endure hardship patiently and joyfully. Thank You, Father, as You have made me eligible to receive my portion of the inheritance given to all those set apart by the light. You have rescued me from dark powers and brought me safely into the Kingdom of Your Son, whom You love and in whom I am redeemed and forgiven if my sins [theough His blood].”

Colossians 1:9-14

Good stuff... ❤️

Time to pray for America! 🇺🇸

I used to dread Mondays.
With a passion.
I had such a negative mindset & victim mentality that I allowed pessimism to rule my thoughts, behavior, attitudes, and actions.

I was miserable.

Then I had an encounter - no fireworks, no revival service - just a small whisper from the Holy Spirit who told me Mondays were a gift.

A gift?

Yes. Mondays are fresh. Mondays are the day that can set the tone for my entire week. Mondays are the day I take ahold and make it mine - I get to take advantage of this day and not allow it to control me. I control it.

Not only that - it’s a day to rejoice. It’s a day to honor my Father. A day I get to walk as a Son of God and through the power of the Holy Spirit, tackle every single thing that comes my way! It’s a day overcome (and not let it overcome me). It’s a day to minister to others (you don’t need a title to minister). It’s a day to be gracious. Thankful.

So now… Mondays are one of my favs. I wake up and tackle it. I knock it out of the park. I take full advantage of Monday and not let it get the best of me.

Father,
Thank you for Mondays. Thank you for the opportunity to honor and praise you another day. Today I am grateful for Holy Spirit who lives in me and gives me all I need to tackle any issue and navigate any circumstance that comes my way. Today, I rejoice because today is the day you made, you created, you designed, and you placed me here for this purpose an day. May you be glorified!
Amen.

Happy Monday!

Where is your mind fixed today?

It’s easy to get distracted and focus on all the negative things, but His Word specifically tells us where to keep our minds continually fixed!

So where are your thoughts today?

Yup. That’s it.

If someone isn’t flowing in the spirit of Truth by the Holy Spirit, they don’t get any VIP access to my life. Some only get surface access. Some get none.

Listen - I haven’t always done this. I’ve been bullied for my beliefs. I’ve dealt with people trying to give me advice whose lives were a mess and a half. I’ve dealt with the judgement of allowing people in I thought were for me, only to learn they were only in it for themselves.

Those friends and people who flow and speak life, follow the leading of Holy Spirit and have revelation from reading God’s Word - those are the ones I allow in, those are the ones I go to, and those are the ones who hold me accountable! Those are the ones I want undergirding me and praying for me! I don’t just ask anyone to pray for me - I don’t need strong opinions on the Bible to pray on my behalf, I need people who are moved by the promptings of Holy Spirit to pray.

I share this because unfortunately - this took me too long to learn. My inner circle isn’t necessarily small, it’s just been prayed & discerned over.

I hope today you choose to examine what and who you allow in. Set boundaries. Remove people from your social media feed. Reduce time spent with others. Find those people who are absolutely for you, but will also call you out on your junk - they’re actually true treasures!

Happy Wednesday!
