Chasing After You

Do I have any God Chasers in the building? Is there anybody out there who is really seeking the will of God for their life? Is there anybody that is just Chasing after God so hard that they cannot stand it? Well I know for one thing I'm at a point in my life where I just hunger and thirst for God. My song for the season has been Chasing After You by Bishop Paul S. Morton! I'm Chasing After You no matter what I have to do, I need you more and more! Through the years I've learned a lot as a person, friend, daughter, sister, cousin, student but most importantly as a Christian. As I look over my life I see that I have been truly BLESSED all the way around the board. God has opened so many doors for me, but I also realized I am not walking fully into what God wants me to walk into. I was not Chasing after God I was simply going through the motions. I let school, friends, family, and this may even sound crazy but church come between my relationship with him. Let's straighten something out just because your in church working does not mean your personal relationship with God is where it needs to be. That is a major misconception people have about Christians we go through just like everybody else and we have flaws just like everyone else. The difference is we known someone greater who loves us with our flaws and all-Jesus Christ. As I began to drift from God I could see I wasn't trusting him with all the problems in my life either. All that is over I have walked into a new season that God wants me in. I'm chasing after God with all my might. I'm praising my way through my only desire is to be closer Lord to you-I'm Chasing After You! We all need to examine ourselves, our motives, and our actions to be sure that they are lining up with the will of God! When you do things out of selfish ambition or to get back at somebody your not doing it out of LOVE<-( that's for a later time)! Back to today's topic-->If your not Chasing After God than you have to be chasing after something else! What are wasting all your energy towards chasing? Use that fuel to Chase after God and he will continue to refuel you! Chasing After God never gets old...Try It!

I Work...I Thrist...I WIN!

So I'm at the gym working out and I am super tired. So, as soon as I finish working out what do you think my next move will be? Well....if you're smart you would have said that I am going to get a drink, specifically water! Anytime we are doing work we get tired and we need water to restore our body so we can back and continue what we started. God calls us to carry out his work until it is completed no matter what the costs. So as Christians we MUST be Thristy for God. The bible says we need to hunger and Thrist for rightoueness! So if we are doing our part as the body of Christ and putting in work we are going to get thristy. The harder we work the more thristythat we are going to become. As Christians we have to be Thristy! If our hearts and souls are not longing for the living water of Jesus to consume us then we need to stop dead in our tracks and Get THRISTY. Those who drink from this well will never have to worry about it running dry! So as Christians if we are not Thirsty then we must be doing something wrong. This word right here came from my big sis Shajuana Ditto (srditto.blogspot.com) I Work....I Thirst.....I WIN! All of those things work hand in hand if we are not working then we will not be thristy for more. Which means if we never work then we will never win. Every team has to come together and put in work in order to be successful and pull off the WIN. When I looked up the word WIN in Webster's dictionary there were several ways to define the word. As I looked over the list of options there was one that just stood out. To win means to capture territory! We need to go capture that lost territory that Satan has such an incredible hold on. Christians let's DO WORK, Stay THRISTY, and in the end we will WIN! I work... I thrist.... I WIN........

Give Us Clean Hands

Here lately I have just developed a great DISGUST towards the church. I'm not talking about any single church building but I am talking directly to the body of Christ. Why is it when God calls us to be a people of order (1 Corinthians 14:40) and to do things decently and in order we are so dysfunctional? I am sick and tired of this! You may ask am I angry? Am I disappointed? Am I confused Am I fed up!?...just a little! We as Christians have complicated the gospel and turned it into something that it was never intended to be. It troubles me to know that we try to be leaders in the kingdom of God but our hands look like we been mud wrestling. In most cases that is exactly what we been doing! Because we are stuck in this flesh we wrestle in sin and that does nothing but separate us from God. Do we all sin and fall short of God's glory? Yes, Romans 3:23 clearly states that but the problem is when our audio talk does not match our video walk! As Christians especially CHRISTIAN LEADERS we need to get our stuff together. God does not and will not continue to bless mess! It does not go together no way no how! I am not sure how much longer God is going to hold back his wrath on this generation because we are so LUKEWARM! Live like the person that God has called and ordained you to be. We CANNOT live defeated! Choose to be victorious daily! As a leader in the body of Christ I cannot and will not let Satan get the best of my ministry. I will not set back and let people with dirty hands block what the spirit is trying to do. Guys it's time we get real and STOP ignoring corrupt behavior. Wrong is wrong and right is right bottom line! If you know you are not living the life you proclaim stay out Sunday school ministry, don't get up in the choir stand, get off the deacon board, get off the usher board, lay down your apron culinary staff, resign today youth leaders who ARE NOT serious b/c we need serious leaders to capture this generation, PLEASE do not get up and perform in the drama teams and get out the pulpits so God can move us foward! I'm just so done with playing church! I am seeking restoration in all parts of my life especially in my friendships because I am tired of making a mockery of God. We need to go ALL IN or else we will GIVE IN to Satan and his schemes! NO more I am DONE. Lord I pray that you Give Us Clean Hands and let it begin with me! Give Us Clean Hands and Give Us PURE Hearts!
