Every Experience Gives Me Life (John 10:10). 

In life, you are going to have tests, trials, and tribulations. You are going to face temptation, headaches, and pain. You will encounter hurdles and obstacles; it’s all a part of life. However, you get to decide how you will respond to the experiences you face. John 10:10 says Jesus mentioned that the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but He wants you to have a life that is more abundant.

So when a difficult situation comes your way, you have the power to decide if it will harm you or if you will allow it to bring you life. Every experience that occurs in your life gives you a choice. Will you become bitter or better? Will you spiral into depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts, or will you learn and grow from the experience? Every experience presents a choice, and I choose life because both options are available. The thief will come, but Jesus also offers His presence. You have the choice of which door to open - the door to the thief or the door to Christ. You can also decide which window to open - the window of the thief or the window of Christ. You have the choice of who you give access and power to in your life and in your heart. Today, I choose life.

I choose to learn from every situation and to receive blessings from each experience. Every encounter in my life is meant to bring me life and blessings; they help me move from mere existence to abundant life. I shall not die but live and declare the works of the Lord, knowing that no person or experience can take away my life.

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

  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...
