"GIVE THANKS AND NOT COMPLAINTS!"

 It's ALL TOO EASY to complain about EVERYTHING! Nothing's EVER good enough! We pray for a home and then COMPLAIN we have to clean it! We pray for God to remove a person out of our lives and then COMPLAIN about being alone! We must remember that God HEARS and that LIFE and DEATH lies in the power of our TONGUE! We have the ability to speak LIFE into any DEAD situation! BUT we must read God's Word, fast, STAY prayerful and exchange COMPLAINTS with THANKS! So START praising Him in ADVANCE, because God WILL move based on what you do! 

"FOR YOU CAN'T BE UPSET WITH THE RESULTS YOU DON'T GET WITH THE WORK YOU DIDN'T DO!"

[NIV] Numbers 14:28 So tell them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord, I will do to you the very thing I heard you say:

"USE ME LORD!"

 Many of us LOVE the song "I Give Myself Away" but do we REALLY mean that?! In the presence of the Lord, it feels RIGHT, BUT when He begins to USE YOU, you murmur, complain and REFUSE to do that which HE called YOU to do! We must remember that EVERYTHING we do unto others, we're doing unto GOD... for HIM to get the glory! And when we give Him FULL AUTHORITY, He WILL use us according to HIS WILL! The ONLY thing we need to do is BE AVAILABLE for HIS use! We must lay down our pride and FULLY trust God! 

"FOR WHEN DOES A TOOL EVER HAVE A CHOICE IN HOW IT'S USED?!"

Isaiah 6:8 KJV

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

"HE FOUND YOU IN YOUR MESS. .. BUT DON'T STAY THERE!"

 Often when we're in our mess, we cry out to God for help, only to RETURN to what He saved us from! OR, when He finds us in OUR MESS, we find joy in JUST feeling His presence, but NEVER compelled enough to get OUT our mess and wonder why our prayers don't get answered! God found us in mess, BUT He DOESN'T WANT our mess! YES, nothing can separate us from the LOVE of God, BUT your SIN can separate YOU from Him! He's completely capable of loving you from afar! It's time to stop giving God POLLUTED praise and servitude and ALLOW Him to cleanse us DAILY! And to NOT to replace the shackles that God removed! 

"FOR WHAT'S THE USE OF SALVATION IF YOU'RE NOT FIT FOR CONSUMPTION?!"

Isaiah 59:1-2 KJV

Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: [2] But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he WILL NOT HEAR.

"GOD WANTS TO CHANGE YOU BEYOND RECOGNITION!"

 Often we RESIST the change GOD is trying to do in us because we're desperately grasping at attributes of our FORMER selves! When we became saved, we became NEW creatures. .. so WHY do we CONTINUALLY try to LOOK the same?! Is it for the comfort of others? Is it due to fear of losing control over your life? Or is it because we HAVEN'T realized that our IDENTITY can ONLY be found in Christ Jesus?! God DOESN'T want the world to see us... but wants it to see the GOD in us! ONLY then can others be led to Christ! It's NOT predicated on our abilities or Bible knowledge! 

"FOR HOW CAN YOU CONVINCE OTHERS TO CHANGE, WHEN YOU REFUSE TO LET GOD CHANGE YOU?!"

John 3:30 KJV

He must increase, but I must decrease.

"THERE'S NOBODY LIKE JESUS!"

 I'm soooooooo glad that He's NOT like man! He is the ONLY one who will CONTINUALLY do what He says! Who will NEVER leave you NOR forsake you! Who ALWAYS have your BEST interest at heart! Who provides for you BEFORE you knew you needed provisions! Who answers prayers that were NEVER uttered! Who can make ALL things work together for your GOOD! Who's the EPITOME of LOVE because He IS LOVE! Who WOULDN'T serve a God like this?! We could search high and low and NEVER come CLOSE to a credible replacement! We must put ALL TRUST and FAITH in His hands and STOP searching for what was NEVER hidden! 

"FOR FAILURE IS ALWAYS INEVITABLE WHEN SEEKING COUNTERFEITS OF THE ORIGINAL!"

1 Samuel 2:2 KJV

There is none holy as the Lord : for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.

"VANQUISH THE ENEMY BY DESTROYING THE INNER ME!"

 It's easy for us to locate and cast out devils in your ENEMIES. .. BUT what about the ones working THRU YOU?! The devil can only tempt you with what's ALREADY in you! All of those sinful, yet hidden, desires that we feel we can SUPPRESS, always find a way of taking control and taking you further than you want to go and keeping you longer than you want to be kept! It's time for us to start destroying the yokes of bondage off of OURSELVES and allow the Lord FREE REIGN to search AND remove ANYTHING that's NOT of Him! We must realize that the battle STARTS from WITHIN! 

"FOR YOUR BIGGEST ENEMY. ..... IS YOU!"

Psalm 139:23-24 KJV

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: [24] And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
