Enough Already!

Sometimes, you go through life and you feel like you don't have what it takes. You think "I'm not enough. I'm not good enough. I am not strong enough. I am not smart enough. I am not going to do enough. Enough already.

To be mighty with the Lord...

Be COURAGEOUS enough to stand alone and fight.

BE COMMITTED enough to endure till the battle is done.

Be CRAZY enough to Challenge God to show up.

Be COMPASSIONATE enough for God that if Jesus desires it you would do the impossible for Him.

Be COMPETENT enough in your skills to be an expert and dedicate yourself to serving Him.

Be CONFIDENT enough in the talents & abilities God has given you to take on any challenger.

Be CRAVING God enough to be after the heart of God regardless of our size and appearance.

You with God means you are enough.

You with God means you have enough.

You with God means you can say to the Devil “I’ve had enough”.

I am enough. I have the right stuff. I made to do what God calls me to do. Go be mighty for the Kingdom.

The Anti-Prophetic Word

 Gossip ie. "talebearing" in the scriptures, grumbling, complaining, & receiving course talk about anyone is considered destructive to the point that Paul the apostle said such would not inherit the kingdom of heaven. He told us to mark that person and stay away from them. He places such behavior on par with sexual sins such as homosexuality, adultery, and fornication. See 1 Corinthians 6 Gossip is an "anti prophetic" gift. See 1 Corinthians 12. Prophecy is when you give a word that encourages, comforts, and lifts or blesses another. This was encouraged by Paul and he wished that everyone did this rather than speaking in tongues. If what some says to you builds up, lifts up, blesses up receive it. If God gives you a word that builds, that lifts, and blesses give it. If what some says to you tears down, cause growth to stop, is course language and defames or reviles another do not receive it. This gives the enemy the great dragon, and lion walking about a foot hold to come against God's church and to divide the gathering of the saints Christ's bride! See James on the tongue for further knowledge considering the danger of gossip. See Philippians ... whatever is true, lovely good etc... think on these. Gossip makes you focus on the negatives and not on what is good. A culture that promotes this is not just fallen but condemned by all the apostles. James 4:11 Do not speak against one another, brethren. ... Proverbs 20:19 ...Therefore do not associate with a gossip.

UPS RIGHT TURNS LITTLE CHANGES BIG IMPACT

“UPS RIGHT TURNS” 

In 2004, UPS implemented a new policy to try to save money. Their engineers developed a software program that would plan their delivery drivers’ routes to use as many right turns as possible.

REASONS FOR CHANGE:

• 61% of accidents at intersections occur when a left turn is involved versus only 3% when turning right.

• Drivers will have less waiting time to turn left and will result in less fuel usage.

• Improved efficiency for which their packages are delivered.

RESULT:

UPS was able to plan their drivers’ routes with roughly 90% right turns. By repeating this small change with each delivery, big change was achieved! In the first year, UPS saved 28.5 million miles driven, 3 million gallons of fuel, and 1,100 trucks. Just the reduction of fuel alone saved the company $9 million in one year!

Sow a Character reap a Destiny!

Burlsworth's High School Coach quote.  

Have I told you all lately that I love you?  Well I have to get back to you on that.  Football is rough game its unpredictable.  Life itself squeezed into 60 minutes and a hundred yards, and you can't control who your mommy and daddy are but you can control how hard you work. Sow a thought reap and action, sow an action you reap a habit, sow a habit reap a character, sow a character you reap a destiny.  Every play starts with a cadence and ends with a whistle what you do in between determines your legacy.  What you do in between matters so give it everything you got.  

 I am always interested when people say there is a "Revival"!  Nothing that we see and call a revival today happened in the scriptures.   They put on ashes and repented and God spared them but that wasn't a revival.  It was survival.  Jesus spoke and people believed in Him wanted to be near Him, and to have even just his shadow fall on them.  I think when men call something a "revival" they are referring to what happens in the worship service.  Revival I believe should look like Pentecost all over again.  There should be a spontaneous move of God and thousand of unbelievers not believers giving their hearts to God.  Then there should be a great baptism service with stories being told.  That is what revival looks like.  We have seen it in the scriptures.  I am not saying Asbury didn't have a revival.  I am saying that had long prayer and worship service.  What happened there can happen in our own hearts anytime we want to fall down and seek God's face.  What happened at Pentecost hasn't happened since.  Revival is an awaking to the things of God a new.  Well I can have that right where I am.  I should want that and be after that right here.  It should be happening in me.  It should be happening in you.  Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.  You know revive your soul in God's presence.  I have the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit doesn't need to come again on me.  I have Him.  I should use the gifts He gave me to love and serve my brothers.  That will bring revival to them.  Revival doesn't look like a prayer meeting that lasts days.  It doesn't require a large crowd or a seminary.  I wonder what God says about revival? Reviving was something God did as you sought Him.  The one comes with the other.  If you want to see Revival want it for yourself and seek Him for it.  Let Him our Lord define what happens there after.  

What is your Call Sign on your helmet? 

Maverick, top gun has a helmet with lines red and white going over the top. His reel is "Goose" has a red helmet with the same lines and eagle! If you have seen the movie these represent the need for speed and flying by the seat of your pants. Your identity is on your helmet. How you fly is wrapped up in how others give you your call sign. Maverick says it all. Goose says it all. Goose is a smart mouthed arrogant funny and always quacking off. So their helmets represent their identity to those they fly with and how they fly together. Our helmet has a "call sign" Salvation. How we live and who we are is wrapped up in the call sign God has given us. Take the helmet of "salvation". We are to live as saved and we are to be identified by the helmet we take and put on. No pilot goes into their plane without their helmet and we should not go into life without ours. Take up your helmet of salvation and let it identify who you are with and what you are all about.
