Stay On the Wall!

Welcome Fellow Bloggers & Mighty Women of God!

I thank God for another awesome meeting on last Saturday. For those of you who were there - you know what I mean. For those that could not be there - stay tuned...

We talked about "Developing the Character of a Worshipping Warrior". You know, experiencing victory in our battles is not just magical - IT'S INTENTIONAL! That means that there are certain "holy habits" that you and I must be mindful about practicing every day if we want to see the abundant life that Jesus has made available to us materialize.

Life can happen and then here come the distractions that get us off of renewing our minds and onto what ought to be in God's hands. Grandma used to put it like this: "An idle mind is the Devil's workshop!"

Have you been idle? Have you thought about what you've been thinking about? It's important that we get back to the basics, like meditating on the Word of God; not just reading it. Actively worshipping God by regular fasting and prayer. Interceding for others needs and generously giving our money and our time to bring the Kingdom into the lives of those we touch every day.

You may have been on track with all of this for quite a while, but somehow now you find yourself in a rut. DON'T BE DISCOURAGED AND DON'T ACCEPT CONDEMNATION! I have GOOD NEWS!! God is faithful to forgive us when we repent, and then He graces us to just get back up and start again with a clean slate. But it all starts with the mind...

Here's a little poem God gave me yesterday to reaffirm the importance of all of this:

Plan your attitude
Before you plan your day
Seek to do good to others
As you go along your way
Make a special effort
Take focus off of self
Then you will surely find in life
The greatest kind of wealth

God's grace and blessings to ya and I'll be back with more soon!
