DECEMBER 14, 2016- COMFORT ZONES
Some of you are too comfortable where you are, and for that reason you are stagnant. God told me to tell you this next season requires you to get uncomfortable! It's going to require you to step out of your comfort zone and what you're used to and what's safe and convenient, and have a little faith and step into something new. It's time to get uncomfortable and trust God with what you don't know and can't see, so that you can get a little momentum and start actually making some progress. You can't get to the next level without stepping out of your comfort zone.

DECEMBER 15, 2016- IT'S OK TO BE ALONE
You've got to stop falling in love with the idea of having company, people, friends around because the truth is when the storm comes, and the waves begin to hit your boat and the boat begins to sink, they will scatter like roaches. Get acquainted with being alone. Because the truth is numbers dwindle when seasons change. And the road can get lonely. But if you have fortified yourself in God, and you've learned to be content alone with Him, when the roaches scatter, you'll still be able to persevere. It's ok to be alone.

DECEMBER 17, 2016- WHERE 2 OF MORE ARE GATHERED
What I love about god, is that when He begins to reveal your purpose to you, He removes the people that would hinder you, and puts around people who are in the same place at the same season, discovering their purpose at the same time as you, growing stronger and closer to God at the same time as you, being tested and tried at the same time as you, to encourage you and strengthen your faith. To serve as confirmation, and affirmation that you are exactly where He wants you to be, and that you are well on the right path and in His good and perfect will.

DECEMBER 18, 2016- BUSY DOING NOTHING
Busy does not always equal accomplished. The truth is you can be busy and be doing nothing at all if what you're doing isn't God's will. Is what you're doing what God actually called you to be doing? Or are you wasting time stroking your ego and trying to accomplish everything BUT what He's called you to do? I can recall so many times in my life that I was busy, and had my hands and my time in some of everything, but still found myself coming up short, or feeling empty and unaccomplished But I'm finding in this season that I'm not doing near as much, but what I am doing is completely fulfilling and accomplish much more simply because it's what I'm called to be doing. Get in God's will and out of your own.

DECEMBER 19, 2016- DON'T TURN BACK
As soon as you begin to step into your future, the devil will start chasing you with your past. Resist. Press forward. Don't turn back. I know it's hard. We've got memories, we've got ties, we've got time put in, we shared so much, we wanted it to be different. but the past is dead and gone. Remember why it's the past, and continue expecting more from the future. Trust God and know that if your past was where your destiny and purpose was, it wouldn't be the past. He's trying to do a new thing. I know that hurts, but let Him. I promise your past has nothing on God's future for you.

DECEMBER 20, 2016- GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISES
There is NOTHING in the world like believing God for something, and then not only seeing Him do it, but seeing Him exceed what you were asking and beliving for. If I haven't learned anything else in life, I have learned how to trust and believe my God, and that He is able and will do what He promises. It only takes a mustard seed of faith to see God bring full blown rivers out of dry places.

DECEMBER 21, 2016- DEATH OF THE OLD, BIRTH OF THE NEW
It's never easy to watch something die that you gave so much life to. But what you've got to understand is that God is a God not only of restoration but of new beginnings. If He took His hands away and it died, or He allowed it to fall apart, it's only because He's about to do a new thing, a profoundly more abundant and resilient thing. Too often we mourn when we should be rejoicing. Does it hurt? Absolutely. But is God working it out for your good? Absolutely! Perspective changes everything. If you lost it after you did everything in the world to keep it, it's a gain. If it crumbled and fell apart after you built it up, it was just a stepping stone. God will always take your losses and turn them into your greatest gains.

JANUARY 1, 2017- INENTIONAL FOR GOD
You absolutely MUST be intentional about your time with God. You have to put some things aside that you would prefer to do, and give that time to God. Some days, I'd rather listen to my radio in the morning on the way to work, but I turn it off and talk to God. If I get frustrated and want to call a friend, I turn my phone off and talk to God. The peace that comes from this practice is priceless.

JANUARY 2, 2017- RADICAL FAITH
If you want to see mountains crumble and fall, you need to have the kind of faith that makes absolutely no sense. It's the kind of faith that people call you crazy for having. The kind of scary faith that says I'm believing God for the impossible. Faith that says I look insane for stepping out and doing something that seems pointless to everyone else, but I don't care because God has called me, and He is the light unto my path and the lamp unto my feet. You need a faith that can call down angels and cast out demons. You need to have faith that allows you to be between a rock and a hard place with your back against the wall and it seems like your time is up, and yet you believe against all hope, and trust God still. Faith even as a mustard seed can accomplish much. But radical faith....radical faith can unlock doors and allow God to move in your life in ways that you never dreamed were possible.

JANUARY 3, 2017- MORE THAN CONQUERORS
Spiritual Warfare is not to be taken lightly. And I'm so grateful to God that He in me is greater than the enemy. "We are more than conquerors through Him Who loved us." (Romans 8:37

JANUARY 4, 2017- GOD USES BROKEN PEOPLE
Why does God use broken people? Because He wants to show Himself mighty. He wants people to look at you and see how unqualified you are, how much of a mess they know you have been, to see your mistakes and your past, and say “There’s no way they should be able to do what they’re doing but they are. THAT must be what God looks like. Who is this God that they serve, I want to know Him! He makes the impossible possible. He makes a way out of no way. He heals the damaged and broken!” So I encourage you today, if God has called you to do something and you don’t believe you that you can do it, trust Him anyway. He wants to work through you so that people can see just how might He is, and that He is God and God alone.

JANUARY 5, 2017- BE DIFFERENT FOR GOD
Don’t let your fear of persecution by a fallen world, make you waver in your passion for serving God, and being bold for the Kingdom. It’s ok that you’re not like everyone else, and doing what everyone else is doing. God isn’t looking for conformity to this world, but He IS looking for someone bold enough to be different and stand out and conform to His will.

JANUARY 6, 2017- IF YOU'RE HURTING
God is strongly placing on my heart that someone this morning is deeply hurting. You've been going through some things. You're going through a break up. You've lost your job or your car. You've lost a loved one. Life is dealing you blow after blow and you've given up hope. The pain is so heavy, that you are doing anything to numb yourself. But the truth is, when we are hurting we create dependencies in unhealthy areas as an attempt ...to neutralize the pain. We try to sleep it away. We try to drink it away. We try to party and sex it away. We go out and we try to smoke or drug it away. But the truth is no matter how much you engage and indulge in these temporary fixes, these momentary gratifications, not only do they not take away your pain, but they add to it. And they leave you feeling more broken, more torn, and more empty than before. And I'm saying this because I've been there. Drinking and smoking my pain away, sleeping with anyone I could to make it go away. But the moment it was over, I felt worse than when it began. Sis, NOTHING and I do mean NOTHING is going to heal you, restore you, make you feel loved and wanted, renew you, and begin to walk you through that pain like the love of God. It is sure, it is stable, it is safe, it's a covering, it is healing, it's wholistic, and it is the grace and strength that you need and won't find anywhere else. You've given all of the wrong things and people a try. This time, give God a chance. He will prove Himself mighty every time

JANUARY 8, 2017- YOU ARE NOT THE FIXER
You can not force other people to want or to do better. You can love them, you can pray for and encourage them. But ultimately the decision to make a change and to do better has to be theirs. I understand that when we love people we want so badly to fix them. But at the end of the day, you can not hold someone's hand and walk them into deliverance. They have to want it for themselves. So stop spinning your tires, wasting your tears, and begging folks to seek healing. I have news for you, they will one day get tired enough to search for it on their own. Until that day, you've got to step back and give them to The Lord.
