"DON'T THROW IN THE TOWEL!"

 Remember, the race IS NOT given to the swift and the strong, BUT to the one that endures to the end! Whatever you do, DON'T GIVE UP! It's the devil's job to throw darkness, doubt, discouragement and distractions to DETER you from GOD'S WILL while he infiltrates us with sin! However, what the devil meant for our bad, God meant it for our good! God REMOVES the blinders from our eyes and allows the devil to THINK he's destroying us, when in actuality, he's STRENGTHENING us and is a conduit to our growth! 

"FOR A SEED CAN NOT GROW UNLESS IT'S COMPLETELY UNDONE!"

Galatians 6:9 KJV
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

"CUT THE STRINGS!"

 Stop letting the devil control you! It's EASY to correct the sins that are SEEN, but what about the ones that are HIDDEN? The sins we feel that NO ONE knows..... BUT GOD! We forget that it is NOT man that we should fear, it's GOD! Because ONLY He can destroy BOTH body and soul! ALL sins (known/unknown; seen/unseen) must be confessed to God DAILY in order to give Him FULL control! And it is time to STOP the devil in his tracks! 

"FOR HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT BEING HIDDEN AS LONG AS HE CAN CONTROL THE STRINGS!"

Proverbs 28:13 KJV
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

"WHY NOT ME?"

 Often we frequent the pity parties where the ONLY song playing is WHY ME LORD! Lord, why is this happening to ME; why am I going through this; or even, Lord, why did YOU give me THIS gift/anointing?! Would we rather it be someone else...? We MUST realize that EVERYTHING happens for a reason and NOTHING happens WITHOUT GOD allowing it! If we're BLESSED with a gift/anointing or going through a situation, find comfort in knowing that GOD feels you're strong enough to bare it and that you WILL come out better than before! And that He's ALWAYS there to help you carry the load! Instead of asking God to REMOVE it, ask Him to STRENGTHEN you to carry it! So pick yourself up, STOP having pity and START feeling a sense of PRIDE! 

"FOR GOD KNOWS THAT NO ONE CAN DO WHAT YOU CAN DO OR AS WELL AS YOU CAN DO IT!"

1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also MAKE A WAY TO ESCAPE, that ye may be able to bear it.

"FIX IT JESUS!"

 Frustration sets in when we try to fix what ONLY GOD CAN! If WE could've fixed it, it would've been done a long time ago! God WILL perfect that which concerns you. However, we mustn't fall privy to believing that God will fix it the way WE want Him to. Sometimes He steps in and repair things instantaneously, other times He ALLOWS situations to occur to strengthen and equip us to repair it OURSELVES! Either way, we must TRUST Him, acknowledge the things we CAN and CANNOT change and PATIENTLY wait on HIM! 

"FOR WE MUST ALWAYS TRUST HIM EVEN WHEN WE CAN'T TRACE HIM!"

Psalm 138:8 KJV
The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord , endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

"ARE YOU THIRSTY?"

 In the SOCIAL arena, many would not admit they are because it has been paralleled to desperation! HOWEVER, it is perfectly normal to desperately desire something. The problem occurs when we WRONGLY choose how to extinguish that desire! PEOPLE nor THINGS can do it. .. ETERNALLY! They are only TEMPORARY! Frustration comes when we expect anything different! HOWEVER, the void we're trying to fill can be PERMANENTLY filled with God! He will NEVER leave us NOR forsake us! He will bless us BEYOND our imagination and protect us BEFORE we know we needed protection! With GOD, we will NEVER thirst! BUT if you choose otherwise, blame YOURSELF for the consequences! 

"FOR IT WAS YOU WHO CHOSE WHAT TO DRINK!"

John 4:14 KJV
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

"I WON'T COMPLAIN!"

 Complaining and worrying NEVER fixed ANYTHING! They only made things worse, while leaving the issue UNRESOLVED! And they reflect what LITTLE faith you have in GOD! Because if you know HE CAN do it, then you should have FAITH that HE WILL DO IT! If He did it BEFORE, He WILL do it AGAIN! So START worshiping instead of worrying, and praying instead of complaining! 

"FOR COMPLAINING ABOUT YESTERDAY WON'T FIX TOMORROW'S PROBLEMS!"

[NLT] Exodus 16:8 Then Moses added, “The Lord will give you meat to eat in the evening and bread to satisfy you in the morning, for he has heard all your complaints against him. What have we done? Yes, your complaints are against the Lord, NOT against us.”

"YOU CAN'T FIX OTHERS WITHOUT FIXING YOURSELF!"

 Often we ask God to fix others, instead of fixing us. God didn't instill HIS Word in us to be used as weapons of mass destruction! He intended for us to submit our bodies as LIVING sacrifices and to ALLOW His Word to CLEANSE, CORRECT & RENEW US! And to be living examples of His Word DESPITE opposition and false accusations! Our ACTIONS, not just our words, will either win souls to Christ or push them further away! 

"FOR WHAT WE DO WILL ALWAYS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WHAT WE SAY!"

Psalm 51:10-13 KJV
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. [11] Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. [12] Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. [13] THEN will I teach transgressors thy ways; and SINNERS SHALL BE CONVERTED unto thee.

"DOES GOD ACCEPT YOU?!"

 We mindlessly ask God to FORGIVE us, but NEVER ask if He ACCEPTS US! Yes, He WILL pardon us and forgive us upon asking, BUT that doesn't mean He accepts or is in agreement with how we conduct ourselves! We even goes as far as offering POLLUTED PRAISE that comes from vain glory instead of the heart! We're more concerned about what MAN thinks instead of what God KNOWS! NO, we're NOT perfect, but we must strive for perfection and seek GOD'S approval on EVERY aspect of our lives! 

"FOR IN THE END, IT'S NOT MAN WHO DECIDES OUR FATE!"

Psalm 19:14 KJV
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord , my strength, and my redeemer.

"GOD CAN'T USE YOU IF HE DOESN'T BRUISE YOU!"

 Often we ask God to use us without thought to what that request entails. We assume that it's the mere use of our talents. However, God desires so much more! Our gifts and talents were given without repentance, not to be taken away. BUT the knowledge we acquire THROUGH TRIALS is far more valuable! Our suffering IS NOT for nought or without merit! It intenerates us to make us more plausible! 

"FOR GOD PRESS US, TO BLESS US, TO BLESS OTHERS!"

James 1:2 KJV
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

"PRAY IN EXPECTANCY!"

 It's easy to expect an INSTANTANEOUS miracle... but what about one you have to WAIT, PRAY & FAST for? Yes, God said HIS WORD will NOT return to Him void. .. BUT He NEVER promised WHEN it will manifest, or that WE won't have to CHANGE or go through trials to get it! If we FULLY understand that EVERYTHING works TOGETHER for OUR good to them that LOVE the Lord, we will NEVER be disappointed! Many blessings are lost in the lack of waiting, and many more lost in lack of expectation! We must COME to God in FAITH, STAY with Him in FAITH & FAITHFULLY EXPECT Him to do just what He said! 

"FOR WHAT GOOD IS A PROMISE THAT YOU NEVER EXPECTED TO BE KEPT?!"

Psalm 62:5-6 KJV
My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. [6] He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

"LET GOD CHANGE YOUR MIND!"

 We must let God CLEANSE, CHANGE & REARRANGE OUR minds! The devil knows that as Christians, we're too powerful to touch, so he cunningly filters impurities in our minds so we can DESTROY OURSELVES! Thus giving HIM control and allowing him access to implode EVERY Christian act we perform! However, he CAN be STOPPED just by transforming our minds!  But we CAN'T do it ALONE or in 1 SINGLE feat! We must allow God FULL control to CHANGE the way we think and WHO we are! 

"FOR AS A MAN THINKETH, SO IS HE!"

Romans 12:2 KJV
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

"I BELIEVE THE CHILDREN ARE OUR FUTURE!"

 But how does the future look to you? What once was frowned upon is now glorified in games, gangs, tv, school.... even YOU! Our children are becoming desensitized to violence and are replacing SELF-WORTH with MOCKERY of fabricated bliss portrayed through their environment! BUT, who's at fault if WE allow this to be! Instead of accusing and abusing OUR youth, WE must BE the CHANGE we want to see! Bring ALL youth TOMORROW @ 10am to 7700 N. Pearl St. 

"FOR THE START THAT NEEDS TO BE MADE.... IS WITH YOU!"

1 Timothy 4:12 KJV
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

"TESTS PROVE WHAT YOU, NOT GOD, NEED TO KNOW!"

 Often we think we must past our tests to prove ourselves to God! However, it's NOT HIM who's learning. .... it's US! Tests show us HOW MUCH we know and HOW MUCH we need to grow! And whether we're FOR God or AGAINST Him! They reflect our strengths and MAGNIFIES our weaknesses! We must review OUR actions and CORRECT our faults, with the Word is God! And realize that tests are for OUR benefit! 

"FOR THE TEACHER ALREADY KNOWS THE ANSWERS TO THE TESTS!"

2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates (-unless, of course, you fail the test)?
