CAN'T STOP, WON'T STOP! Sunday May 23, 2015

1 "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us."Hebrews 12:1, KJV

The question was asked, "How do you keep the fire burning for ministry?"  Well, to be honest with you, I think it is different for different people. Depending on why and how you entered into relationship with the Lord and why you accepted the call, really does matter.  We should never lose sight of why we need Jesus, and what caused us to accept him in the first place, it is still the same reason we need him now.  SIN!

We are not without sin yet, and the flesh and the Spirit are in a constant war to see who will captain our ship.

I have decided to follow Jesus, No turning back, no turning back. There is no way, I can allow myself to go back to the old me (carnal in every way), I could not stand that person but I love who I am becoming!

With that being said, Let us lay the fleshy, carnal minded, emotionally, physically  and sensationalized part of ourselves aside, refuse to let it dictate your decision making, your path or the types of relationships you have and RUN, RUN FAR AWAY FROM THAT PILE OF GARBAGE AND INTO YOUR DIVINE DESTINY!

CAN'T STOP, WON'T STOP!  JESUS IS THE WAY!

IT'S GETTING HOT IN HERE! Friday May 22, 2015

8 For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the Lord was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily. 9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay. Jer. 20:8-9, Kjv

Sometimes no matter how difficult the struggle gets, no matter the pain of the trial, no matter how many people leave, how many stop following, no matter how many don't care to listen, You Just Can't Shake the assignment!

Jeremiah was receiving death threats, the people didn't want to hear another word from him because he was telling the truth, and the truth can hurt! 

Here he is, being obedient to the Lord, trying to help someone else to not continue on their path of destruction, but instead of receiving the help, wisdom, guidance in love they reject it and him.  Sound familiar?

Often times we fall in the same category as Jeremiah and we decide we are going to stop trying to help anyone, we will stay silent and let them find their own way, but you just can't help yourself. It's the anointing on your life and the burning passion for God and his people that just won't let you keep quiet, you have to tell it!

So yes, the heat gets hot, but you can stay in the Kitchen because God has anointed you for this!!!
