Mindset Mondays: God’s Plans and Purpose
We are destined for greatness. God created each of us with a purpose in mind. Why are you here? You are here because there is a problem you were created to solve. You are probably asking, What problem? How do you discover your purpose? 1. Ask God (). Earnestly pray in line with the Word; asking God to reveal it to you (). God called you to a plan greater than yourself. Jeremiah was called to be a prophet to the nations, even before he was born (). Joseph was told to name the Messiah, Jesus, because He was to save Read More
Mindset Mondays: Not Your Battle
Not every battle is your battle. The Word tells us that God will fight our battles for us (Exodus 14:14). That’s not the battle I am referencing here. Some of you are fighting the wrong battle. You have gotten off course. You left the path God created for you, and now you are trying to win battles and break down doors that serve no purpose (Psalm 119:1 [MSG]). Stop, repent, and get back on track. Your battle is in the other direction. You are stagnant and beaten down because you are trying to fight and win an unwinnable battle. You Read More
Mindset Mondays: Godly Success
You can obtain Godly SUCCESS! What is your view of success? Is it having money, status, lots of friends in high places, or having your dream job? God’s view is totally different. Here are five key aspects of success according to the Word: 1. Obedience to God’s Will Success is rooted in obeying and trusting God’s commands rather than pursuing personal ambitions.

Joshua 1:8: “Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything Read More
Mindset Monday: Obedience
Obedience is following each phase of God’s instructions. Has God ever told you to hide? In 1 Kings 17:2-4, God told Elijah to go and hide. He gave Elijah specific instructions: Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah: Leave here, turn eastward Hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan Drink from the brook Wait for the ravens to bring you food These instructions were not suggestions. If Elijah had chosen to do things differently, he would not have survived. Obedience was the key. When God gives us instructions, we need to be obedient. If we had stopped reading after Read More
Mindset Mondays: The Silent Perspective
Silence is defined as the absence of sound; stillness. I watched a movie the other day called Quiet Place: Day One. It is the third movie in the Quiet Place trilogy. I find the concept of having to keep quiet all the time refreshing. I love quiet times. My daily devotional had this to say about silence: Silence fuels the prophetic gift within you. It is a dimension in the spirit where you can receive revelation from the throne of God. During periods of silence, you learn how to calm your spirit and discern what is happening in the spirit Read More
