I AM At PEACE with My Past (Psalm 32:1)

Let's talk about our past. That's right, your past. We all have one, we all have a past, and the past is not just what happened decades ago, years ago, months ago, weeks ago, or days ago. Your past is anything that's not in your present, and we all have a past, so what do we do with our past since we all have them.

Accept your past. You cannot change it. There's nothing you can do today to change your past, so be honest about it, be open about it, accept that you have a past, and everybody else has a past. Be at peace with your past, knowing that you can't change it, and therefore don't lie about it, don't hide it, it's your past. One thing I do is forgetting those things which are behind me, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. We all have a past, and when you have a challenge of being open and honest about your past because maybe it's not your past, maybe it's still your present.

Learn lessons from your past. Every past experience you have had is designed to teach you something that you were not able to learn any other way. So, learn the lessons from your past so that you don't repeat the same past patterns.

Bless your past, see your past as a blessing. Everything that you have been through in the past wasn't just from you, but it's given you a testimony. It's for God to get glory, it's for your good, and it's for our growth. Now you have built character, you have built a testimony, something to be able to share with somebody else that if God did it for me, God can do it for you. So, what are you going to do with your past? Accept it, learn from it, and bless it.

Balancing Being & Birth Jesus, the King of the Kingdom

Balancing Being & Birth Jesus, the King of the Kingdom R EAD | Matthew 1:16-25 Whether your parents were married, separated, or divorced, your conception was perfect for your purpose. Maybe your parents were unmarried teenagers or adults who had not planned on having any more children; your conception was still divine. Even if you were the product of rape, incest, abuse or adultery, the Kingdom Principle of Divine Order remains in effect. As challenging as it may be, the Kingdom Principle of Divine Order reminds you of the truth that everything that has happened in your life happened exactly the way that it is supposed to happen. Your conception is no exception. Jesus, your Wayshower, was not born under ideal circumstances. His conception was Immaculate yet very few people believed it. Many people believed that Joseph and Mary did not wait until their honeymoon to consummate their marriage. Others thought that Mary was unfaithful to

  Are You a People Pleaser (Matthew 14:6) 06 February 2024   Who are you pleasing today? Some of us are people pleasers. We live our entire lives trying to please people, trying to get their approval and validation. We get pleasure out of pleasing other people, and so we do everything looking for people to be pleased with us.   Are you living your life for people, trying to please people? Some of us try to please ourselves, and we forget people. I AM    pleasing myself, and so all our lives are consumed with self-pleasure, and immediate gratification, and so we live our lives pleasing ourselves, or are you pleasing God? Are you living your life with one purpose: to please God? Are you concerned with whether or not God is pleased with you? At the end of the day, when God says well done, thou good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things. I will make you rule over me. That’s what I Am living for.   I am living to please God; I desire for God to say about me as

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a
