  Pay Attention to the Signs (John 2:13) 

I AM a sign, which means that God flows through my life to give various signs and messages to me and others. I surrender and submit to allow God to flow through my life to be a sign. A sign gets people’s attention. A sign causes people to recognize. It stands out, something out of the norm, something spectacular. A sign. I AM a sign. You are supernatural. You are extraordinary. You are excellent. You are outstanding. You are a sign.

Can you affirm "I AM a sign"? Sometimes, the sign that I am reflecting is a stop sign to stop the ego. There have been times when I have gotten arrogant, heavy, or high-minded, and I had to be brought down. That’s a sign in my life to stay humble. "Humble yourself, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, and God will exalt you in due time. If you exalt yourself, you are going to be a beast."

 The Bible says that the Holy Spirit comes before the fall, and pride goes before destruction. So, I got the sign in my life. I have signs that I can look back on to remind me to stop the ego and give God the glory for my gifts, talents, skills, abilities, accomplishments, and fulfilled visions and missions. Give God the glory. I have a stop sign that says, “Stop the ego.” Not only do I have a stop sign that says, "Stop the ego," but I also have a yield sign. I have yield signs in my life that say, "Yield to the Holy Spirit." 

I know the blessings and benefits that have happened when I yielded to the Holy Spirit, and I know the consequences that occurred when I went my own way and ignored the Holy Spirit. The Bible says, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they demonstrate that they are the beloved offspring of God." I have learned to yield to the Holy Spirit. I have learned to surrender, submit, and say, "Nevertheless, not as I will, but Thy will be done." I have learned to yield the right way because when I yield to the Holy Spirit, I always go the right way. But when I get in the way and do my own thing, I go the wrong way. So, are you in the right way or the wrong way?

Whenever I yield to the Holy Spirit and say, "Holy Spirit, have your way in my life," I always go right. There is a way that seems right to a person, but the end thereof is the way of destruction. I am inviting you to yield to the Holy Spirit, to say yes to God, yes to Your will, yes to Your way, and yes to Your word. Yes, in the morning, at noon, in the evening, and in the midnight hour from the bottom of my heart to the depth of my soul. Yes, God, I yield. I surrender. I submit to God.

I will be who You created me to be. I surrender, submit, and yield to the Holy Spirit. Yes, God, I will do what You have called me to do. Yes, God, I will go where You commission me to go. Yes, God, I will say what You command me to say, and I will have what we have covenanted that I can have. So, a yield sign in my life says, "Yield to the Holy Spirit." The Holy Spirit will lead you and guide you into all truth. All you have to do is yield, follow, and listen to that still small voice, that divine intuition within. Yield to the Holy Spirit. That’s a sign in your life.

There is also a green light, a sign that God will have in your life. Will you remember what happened when you stepped out on faith and how things worked out? Will you remember a sign when you came out of your comfort zone, your familiar place, and how God manifested miracles, signs, and wonders in your life? That’s a sign not to give up, not to throw in the towel, not to say, "Forget it, what’s the use?" but a sign in your life to keep moving forward.

To proceed, sometimes you have to proceed with caution, but I am still proceeding. I am moving forward. I am moving in the direction of my good for God. Our God says, "I know the plans that I have for you, thoughts of good and not of evil, to bless you and to prosper you and to bring you to an expected end." But to get to the end, you have to keep moving forward. "This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind me, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God which is in Christ Jesus."

  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 desi...
  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...
  I AM a Good Tree and I Bring Forth Good Fruit (Matthew 12:3) I AM a good tree, and I bring forth good fruit. I was created that way. When God made everything, He spoke over the creation and said it was good. When He got to human beings, He said not only were we good, but we were very good. Affirm with me today: I AM a good tree because I was created that way. It doesn’t matter what anybody else says; I was created good. God said I was very good.   Good is the essence of who I AM. Because I AM a good tree, not only was I created that way, but I also continue in that way. My good is a continuation of how I was created. Because I AM a good tree and I was created that way, my way of being is good. The energy and aura that come from me that exudes from me are good because I AM a good tree. How I see people, places, and things is good because I AM a good tree. I can’t help but see the good in God and people because I was created that way, so I continue that way. My way of th...
