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 God said about Jesus my way shower: “This is my beloved son and whom I am well pleased.”  I desire God to be pleased with me  and I  would text today  Herodias, his daughter danced before  King Herod at a feast  and she danced before the king and entertained his guests in such a way that he was so pleased with her that he said what do you desire  I will give you anything up to half of my kingdom and she wasn’t clear about what she desire so she ran to her mother and said what shall I  ask the king for, her mother said ask for the head of John the Baptist on a platter and so she went back to  Herod and said  I desire the head of John the Baptist on a platter.

 And even though Herod didn’t want to give it to her because he had said it because the decree and the edit had gone out, he had  John the Baptist beheaded; he gave her what she desired. Are you in a place in your life where instead of asking God for what you desire that God is so pleased with you, God is asking you what you desire? You remember Solomon that God asked him. God was so pleased with Solomon that God asked Solomon what he desired, and  Solomon said  I desire wisdom and knowledge and understanding to lead your people  and God told Solomon because you didn’t ask for a long life because you didn’t ask for retribution against your enemies because you didn’t ask for riches  I am going to give you what you didn’t ask for that  God was so pleased with Solomon that God gave him the desires of his heart and beyond.

 There’s a place in consciousness, a space in life Where God is so pleased with you that God exceeds abundantly above all that you can ask or even think according to the power that works within you. There is a place in consciousness where God is so pleased with you that God blesses you in a way that takes your breath away. There is a place in consciousness where God is so happy with you that God blows your mind and exceeds your expectations. Who are you pleased with today? Are you pleasing God? Are you working crazy to please people, or are you pleasing yourself? I guarantee if you please, God, if you also delight yourself in the lord, God will give you the desires of your heart.

 If you please, God, whatever you desire, one thing have I desired of the lord. That will I seek after that; I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the lord and to inquire in God’s temple if you please, God, even your enemies will be at peace with you when you please God you will see optimal health manifesting in your life, you will see harmonious relationships manifesting in your life, you will see overflowing wealth manifesting in your life because  God is so pleased with you. It is not just meeting your needs; God will supersede them and give you your desires.

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

Prayer & Fasting

Prayer & Fasting “This kind only comes out by fasting and prayer (Matthew 17:21).” In Matthew 17:14-21, Jesus, our example of what it means to be fully human and fully Divine, encountered a young man who appeared to be a lunatic. The young man often cut himself and had fits of rage. He was suicidal and made several attempts to drown and burn himself to death. While his friends and family loved him, they did not have the consciousness to help him; therefore, he lived in the tombs by himself. One of the family members decided to bring the young man to the disciples for healing. They, too, were unsuccessful in healing the young man. Finally, they brought the young man to Jesus, who restored the young man to sanity. Privately, the disciples asked Jesus the reason why he was able to help the young man when they were not. Jesus credited his ability to cast out negativity to fasting and prayer and encouraged his disciples to do the same. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught his discip

Spoken I AMs Read – John 6:53-70 Scripture: “ It is the Spirit that gives life, not the flesh. The words that I speak, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63).” Denial: “There is no limit to who I can be.” Affirmation: “Everything that Jesus Christ said about himself, I can say about myself.” Jesus, our Wayshower, understood the power of his words.  Therefore, he made a conscious decision to speak life. When Jesus  said the words, I AM, he meant what he said. He was declaring his  divine nature and the truth of his being. When we see Jesus as our  Wayshower, it brings our attention to the truth that everything that  Jesus said about himself, we can say about ourselves. Every I AM  statement that Jesus made in the scriptures we can declare about  ourselves. There are seven recorded instances where Jesus actually begins a  statement with the words, I AM. I AM the Bread of Life (John 6:35).  I AM the Light of the World (John 9:5). I AM the Good Shepherd  (John 10:11-14). I AM the
