The Pursuit of PURPOSE

urbirthright1 Comment

Sometimes when we view our purpose it seems out of reach.  We think we have failed and do not measure up.  How about we take some unnecessary pressure off us and run our own race.  The word of God clearly tells us do not look to the left or the right…. this is how you and I run our race.   We are different. We are supposed to be different.  For we are the called-out ones and when we run the race that GOD has laid out for us, we win.  He always causes us to win, remember we fight the Good fight of FAITH.  

Disappointments, setbacks, and failures will come that is a fact of life (remember trials and tribulations) but we get back up and learn from those life lessons.  The truth is that we continue to pursue what God has purposed for us.  We move from glory-to-glory, line upon line, precept upon precept and when we look up, we have accomplished a great GOD work. 

Ohhhh, my friend we are not done, we have not arrived it is only a portion of what GOD has instore for you.  So let me encourage you today pick up that dream. Pick up that vision that God has given you.  Move toward the desired outcomes and once you have arrived get ready for the next destination God has in store for you. 

Yours in Christ Jesus

LESSONS from 2020 and Entering 2021

urbirthright, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

This scripture is packed with promise….

I know for myself that God causes EVERYTHING to work for my good.   2020 has worked for my good….

Now there are some qualifiers…for this promise 1) those who LOVE GOD…and 2) those who are Called according to His purpose for them…

As believers we know that we Love God and we are Called according to His purpose in our lives.  I was like Ok Jesus thank you for this promise.  Holy Spirit just reminded me that even 2020 will work for my good.     So, I created this list of lessons…in no particular order.

  • Increase my Faith, Purpose, Peace Each one of these are connected to Destiny
  • A Spirit of Resilience – It was important to not quit and succumb to the despair and the oppressive atmosphere in 2020…in each circumstance Look for GOD in the midst His banner is over us
  • LIFE is truly precious – take time to tell your Love Ones you Love them and spend quality time with them
  • TIME is a precious Resource – you have 24 hours to complete your task don’t waste your time on non-producing activity and don’t waste other people time
  • Intentional with all activity – be ever present in all that you do and be deliberate in your actions
  • Hope and Expectations are important and connected to FAITH – believing in the dream or vision will manifest
  • The past & present are building blocks for your Future – use your past and present experiences to help navigate 2021
  • Pajama days are Real and Therapeutic
  • Listen to the Holy Spirit the 1st time
  •  Obey the instructions of the LORD the 1st time
  • Invest in yourself – knowledge is Powerful
  • Gratefulness and Kindness – build character and is needed in this season
  • Leave a Legacy and an Inheritance for our children and our children’s children
  • Slow Down and breath…

Let’s Launch in 2021 with a Powerful Prosperous Presence and Purpose.

Yours in Christ,

Remember the Fight is Fixed

urbirthright, , , , Leave a comment

Well, I wanted to share this encouraging word with you today.  So, I am in an early morning group text with some Amazing people.  The word shared this morning reminded me that the Fight is Fixed.  Now what he said was that we are to fight in Faith no matter the opposition.  BUT as soon as I read those words, I heard the Holy Spirit say so clearly Yes, Darling the Fight is Fixed. 

I immediately was reminded of the scripture of 1 Timothy 6:12 NIV – Fight the good Fight of the Faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

It is a Good Fight.  What you say! Yesss, it’s a good Fight because we win.  When you and I Fight in Faith we gain access. Access to the full force of heaven to back us up during opposition.  When we became believers, we were given the measure of FAITH.  This measure of FAITH is what supplies access for us to win.

We need to remember we are victorious when we Fight in Faith.  As we take hold of the eternal life to which we were called All the benefits of that calling are Now ours.  Winning our battles due to fixed fights are part of the benefits. 

The plan of the Lord is that He always causes us to win. We need to be aware of the opposition in our lives and how to use our FAITH to combat its affects. 

Let’s remember the Fight is Fixed and you win.

Yours in Christ,

Morning Inspirations

urbirthrightLeave a comment

Don’t you just love it when morning inspiration reveals itself to you. God is always talking and today the Lord used paper towels…LOL  Soooo, this lovely morning I’m doing what I normally do in the morning….fixing my coffee.  I place my cup on a paper towel (New Roll) and began reading the writing on my paper towel.  SIDEBAR:  My close friends know that I like paper towels with a design.   I like some type of print or design or words. I don’t like plain white paper towels.  OK back to the story.  I’m reading my paper towel this morning it says “Each morning is a new opportunity to shine, a chance to give the past a kick in the pants and the Future, a bear hug.”  Does that not make you grin….

Here is the kicker the other quote on the next paper towel in the roll says “Love big, Play hard and Eat dessert. Savor the simple things and don’t worry about the rest. Choose today to be Amazing.” How cool is that.

Now you might be saying how is that inspiration?  I am so glad you asked.  Each morning is a new opportunity to shine.   Let’s start there, We are given NEW MERCIES every morning.  If the day before has been rough and tough on you or perhaps you have made mistakes welllll you get blessed with compassion and grace when you wake up.  The Lord gives you forgiveness and you have the chance to Shine.  All of this while you give the past a kick in the pants. You will not look back on the former thing but look ahead to that glorious future and give it a bear hug.  Embrace your future. You too can give forgiveness, compassion, and grace when you wake up. 

There is so much I can share about the second phrase on the paper towels.  Love big, Play hard, and Eat dessert.  I mean really who would not want that.  Live life to its fullest and express the Love that heals, covers, protects, ect….  Yes, that Love! Savor the simple things in life.  We often get bogged down with the hustle and bustle of Life that we forget to enjoy LIFE and rest in it, Eat the dessert and rest as the phrase declares.   Finally, choose to be AMAZING.    Yes, it is a choice.  No matter how the previous day panned out no matter how this day begins to unfold you can make a decision to be AMAZING.  It is in this choice that things begin to line up with your positive vibes.  You have tapped into the heavenly resources allotted for you and your mindset changes, and all things around you begin to change.   WOW and it begins with a decision, a choice to be AMAZING.   

How clever for Sparkle Paper towels to have such creative phrases that would leave a lasting impression.   

Yours in Christ,

Small Beginnings

I Love the Lord and His sweet whispers in the morning.  Bringing back to my memory this morning the scripture Zechariah 4:10 and telling me do not despise small beginnings.  Start small the Lord reminded me.  I am pleased to see the work begin.

 So, let me encourage you on today go ahead and begin.  Start small with the Great Big God Idea.  He is ready to smile down on you as you being to walk into your Destiney.   The beauty in all of this as soon as you begin, as soon as you start  the Lord will begin to add to you All sufficiency, add things you need to complete the work, to complete the assignment, to complete the Great Big God Idea. 

I am encouraged on today friends no matter what it looks like in the natural behind the scenes The Lord is Whispering and Rejoicing over us and moving on our behalf.  Blessings to you all.

Yours in Chris Jesus

HOPE

urbirthright, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

The God we serve is such a restorative Father.  His unfailing Love for us never ceases and His mercies are new to you and I every morning.  Wow, every morning I am able to draw on new mercies to start my day.  What an Amazing promise and your faithfulness is so great. My soul rejoices in the truth that the Lord is my portion and I shall HOPE in Him.

These scriptures (Lamentations 3:21-24) share the heart of God where we are concerned.  God’s plan for our lives has been and is currently restorative and redemptive.  His Love for you and I does not end, it is persistent and unmovable towards us.  Now more than ever we need to lean into Him for He is our portion.  Me, MySoul, and I shall HOPE in the LORD.    

Today I choose to watch the Lord restore my home, my city, my state, my country, and my world.  I will not let the distractions and destructions of 2020 keep me from witnessing and receiving the Blessings of the Lord.  With every new day I receive new mercies that redeem and restore my life. Lord I Thank You.

Be Encouraged I GOT YOU!

urbirthright, , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

Be encouraged Saints of God.  For our God is with us even in these tumultuous times.  He is with us.  We will not be distracted by the negative naysayers. We will not be distracted by the Media whether it is Social, Local, or National.  As children of the most-high GOD we must spend more time in HIM than we spend on the things of this world. 

We must recognize when the enemy is using our surroundings against us.  We can become so distracted in the frustration, aggravation, and the disruption that we don’t even realized that it is the handy work of the enemy.   We must regain our focus and see where the enemy has caused issues, stress, and dissension.  All this confusion is to take us off the path that has been preordained for us to follow. 

Your Destiny has been pre-determined before the foundations of the world were even established.  You are created for such a time as this.  We must be in alignment with what GOD has for us.   Satan’s plan is to disrupt this alignment and push us off the path.   

Once we have regained our focus which is on the Lord our perspectives change.  We are now capable of seeing the hand of the LORD and the plan of the enemy.  Our alignment with our Father means we are on the Divinely Lit Path that God has for us.  This path reveals and therefore we have wisdom in all things.

Prayer:

I declare and decree that you shall remain steadfast and unmovable in the word of the Lord and the plans that He has for your life.  I declare and decree that God is for you and no enemy shall prevail against you.  Lord I thank that You go before us and You are with us.  I thank You Lord that You shall not fail, nor desert us, nor leave us high and dry. We shall not be afraid, discouraged, or lost for You Lord have us in the palm of Your hands in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen
