 Do What Works For You (Jeremiah 40:4)

Do what works for you, Jeremiah was in chains, he had been bound, and he was being set free. He was offered the option to stay in the promised land or to go into Babylonian captivity. He had a choice and the idea that Jeremiah had to do what would work for him. And today, you are Jeremiah. You have to do what works for you even if people don’t understand it. Share it with them, but don’t keep going back and forth with people if they don’t understand it.

You still have to do what works for you. If people don’t agree with it, not everyone is going to agree with everything you do but you still have to do what works for you. Stop doing stuff that doesn’t work for you just so people will agree with you. Sometimes we have to agree to disagree but I have to do what works for me. Sometimes for my friends, I give them the FTR which means (I don’t agree with this, I don’t understand this, I don’t think this is going to work out) but because you are my friend, I love you and I support you. I will be here with you and I won’t throw it up in your face when it falls apart. I will be right here loving you and supporting you but I don’t agree.

You have to do what works for you even if people don’t like it or even if people stop liking you because you don’t do what they want you to do. It’s okay if people don’t like you, not everyone is going to like you. Stop people-pleasing and doing things to appease people that you don’t like. You have to do what works for you. Stop investing your time, money, and energy in people, places, and things that don’t work for you. You have to do what works for you.

Let me tell you, you are one with God, you are one with all life, you are one with the one cause. There is only one.

  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...

The Sacred Sunday Posture:  Kneeling “ A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees; if you are willing, you can make me clean (Mark 1:40).” In addition to bowing your heads and closing your eyes, many people learn to “get on your knees and pray.” Often, it’s at night before going to sleep. Parents instruct their children to kneel on the side of the bed and say their prayers. Perhaps you have fond memories of kneeling and reciting the Lord’s Prayer or the 23 rd Psalm. Or maybe you were taught, like me, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, my soul, to take. God bless mommy, daddy...” Kneeling is a physical way to revere God as your Creator and remember that God is your Source. “Know that it is the Lord, who is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).” Without reverencing and ...

Where Is the Love? Learning to Recognize God's Presence Through Galatians 5

  Where Is the Love?    One of my favorite duets is by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack: "Where Is the Love?" It asks, "Where is the love that you said you would give to me?" It's a timeless question and one that’s just as spiritually relevant today.    In Galatians 5 , Paul writes to the churches in Galatia about the contrast between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. He helps believers understand how to discern what’s truly of God. And here's the spiritual compass: love is God's signature . "And envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God."   Galatians 5:21 (KSB)    Whatever you do whether it’s cooking a meal or making a major decision ask yourself: "Where is the love?" Is love your motive? Is love present in your tone, your actions, your intentions?  Paul’s letter urges us to determine whether we are operati...
