Father, as your will be done.

“Father, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will but your will be done (Matthew 26:41).”

One of the greatest gifts that God gave you is the power to choose.Your will is the part of your soul that makes decisions. Every day all day long, you make decisions and live out the consequences of those decisions. This higher-level decision making distinguishes you from other life forms such as animals, plants, and insects.

Prayer bridges the gap between your will and the will of God. You can pray until something inside of you changes. In times, when you feel out of alignment, pray until your will aligns with the highest and the best and the right and the perfect for all parties concerned. Jesus, our example of what it means to be fully human and fully divine, built his life on the Divine idea, “I and my Father are one (John 10:30).” God is your loving Father, whom you can talk to about anything. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus did not stop praying until there was no distinction between his will and the will of his Father. He acknowledged God in all his ways, and God directed his path (Proverbs 3:5-7).

Sin is the idea of separation from God. The only sin is not to pray. Anything that you can talk to God about, you can process. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve cut off the lines of communication with God. Instead of keeping their appointment with God, in the cool of the day, they hid and covered themselves with fig leaves. Whatever causes you to dishonor your appointments with God needs to be reduced or eliminated. You can talk to God about anything because God loves you, and nothing can separate you from the love of God (Romans 8:35-38).

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

There’s a Grace on Your Life

  There’s a Grace on Your Life "By grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."    Ephesians 2:8 (KSB)    In Ephesians chapter 2, one word stands out repeatedly: grace . But what is grace? Grace is God’s unmerited favor, His love poured out on us, not based on anything we've done or failed to do. It’s not about what we think or don’t think. It’s simply a gift. A beautiful, divine surprise.  Imagine receiving an unexpected bonus at work, you did your job, and suddenly you're given more than you earned. That’s grace. It comes when you least expect it and fills you with joy and wonder. This is how God extends His grace freely, abundantly, and lovingly.  Throughout Ephesians 2, Paul highlights how grace is woven into our salvation. “By grace you are saved” means you didn’t do it yourself. Salvation is the awakening in your spirit to the truth that  you are God's beloved .   ...
