Between Called and Chosen

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

A lot goes on between being called and being chosen. I want to give you 3 keys you need to succeed in this process.
1. Attitude 2. Preparation 3. Endurance    Matthew 22:14  King James Version (KJV) 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

These 3 keys will guide you on your pre-ordained journey by GOD.  You must have the right attitude especially when dealing with people.  So often people will talk you right out of your GOD given Destiny.  You must remain focused and on the path that GOD has for you. Do not be swayed by distractions set up to stop you.  Stay positive, speak positive, and fellowship with like minded people.

Preparation can be a hard task master but the outcome is well worth it..  It is in the making where you will be tried and tested.  In the preparation process you will learn how to move and operate in your calling.  Although you are pre-ordained to your calling you will still have to be trained and taught. Be willing to learn and ask Holy Spirit for help because Holy Spirit is the Teacher of all things.  Ask Holy Spirit for the right teacher in the natural as well.  Also be open to correction….with correction comes growth.

Lastly, but not least Endurance.  You will have to be willing to go the long haul.  Your journey may not be easy or short but it can be obtained.  For we are more than conquerors and you Destiney is for you to conqueror. Hebrews 10:35-36 Amplified Bible (AMP)35 Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward. 36 For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and [a]carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised.

Oh that Glorious moment when you go from being called to being Chosen.  (PTL)

The Blame Game

On yesterday I was reading some tweets. I came across someone who was challenging whether or not there is a GOD. If there is a God the person said why does God let 6.6 million children die or starve something along those lines.  So I pondered that thought and wanted to reply but there’s not enough room to tweet what I wanted to say and I don’t argue and or debate the word of God.

Here is a thought that I have concerning this: What are you doing about the dying and starving children?  Have you gone on the mission field? Have you partnered with an organization that feeds and clothes destitute people.  You know it is so easy to blame others or even God but we sit on the sidelines and complain.

STOP Blaming God for something you can do.  Get off the sidelines.

Praying Wives Strategies 2/26/14

If you have visited this site before then you may be aware of the Arise: Praying Parent page where there is information on a prayer conference call.  Well Arise Praying Parents was birthed 6 months after the Praying Wives United Group.  We share the conference line; Mondays we pray for our children and Wednesdays we pray for our husbands.  Both calls pray the word of God according to the Bible.  We have had much success and many testimonies.  This morning I shared some Strategies that the wives could use in order to see some success, transformation, relief, encouragement and strength.  Of course there was so much more I could have shared but here is where I was encouraged to start.  This list can be used for you children as well.  Be encouraged Saints of God that the Lord is Good and He answers your call in time of distress.

  • It’s your praise and thanksgiving that will pull you out….of the pit
  •  80/20 rule: are you focusing the one or two things that work your nerves or will you celebrate the 80% and watch God take you to 81%, 82%, 83%, 84% ect…and now all you can see is growth…..and an improved marriage, child, friend, ect…
  •  Are you doing your God given assignment in the Earth…if you stop focusing on him/husband and give God more energy you will see a turnaround….
  •  What are you praying and who is praying with you? I refuse to ask just anyone to pray with me. You better know what they believe in.
  •  Don’t look at the situation, circumstances, problem (LOOK AT JESUS)
  •  Don’t pray out of place prayers; don’t charge the atmosphere unbelief, ask Jesus to help your unbelief…
  •  It’s really not about where I want him/husband to be but it’s about where the Lord wants Him to be….so when I pray for my husband I ask and partner with Holy Spirit for the Lord to make him the Man of God that he is called to be….

A sound marriage, family, and life is part of our inheritance; even through trails and tribulations we are more than conquerors.

Persistence Conquers All…

Perhaps it’s LOVE that conquers all…Today I choose to merge the two together. (Persistent LOVE) There will be no denial in my Love for you….what a powerful decree and declaration on to day. I know that today is Valentine’s Day and some people are compelled to do something special today. Why don’t you do that special thing just because I love you today or any day for that matter? The Bible says LOVE is the greatest gift. Let’s choose to be persistent in Love today and every day. What area in your Life or who in your Life could you could show persistent LOVE too? In doing so, you will conquer all that God has ordained for you.
1 Corinthians 13:13 Living Bible (TLB)
13 There are three things that remain—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.

Confidence

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

What is confidence? a feeling or belief that you or someone can do something well or succeed at something : the feeling of being certain that something will happen or that something is true

Synonyms: Trust, Belief, Faith, Credence, Conviction

Where do you have your confidence?  Is it in yourself?  Is it in your job? Is it in your spouse? Now, I’m not saying that to have confidence in those areas are necessarily bad things.  But, it is when they supersede your confidence in Jesus; a problem could arise.

This was an area I had to visit in my life.  Many years ago I had become so self-reliant that I put self, job, spouse, and Jesus all on the same level. I would even say I placed self slightly above them all. As circumstances arose and I began losing control in the areas I thought had straight, my confidence was shaken.

Only when I humbled myself and had “a come to Jesus meeting” that I realized that I was doing everything in my own strength.  I did not even notice what I was doing and how out of order I was.  It was in my time with the LORD that he began to show me my error and teach me.  You better believe I began correcting that error quickly. In all of my abilities I give God the Glory for real this time not just lips service but in heart service.

I simply shared with you to encourage you that putting your Confidence in Jesus is a sure thing.
