#LetYourHairDown... Ive recently realized that onlookers who dont know me intimately think success in ministry or personal healing or business or spiritual giftings or marriage has fallen into my lap. Poof! Magic! ...Few have been with me as Ive suffered (sometimes mercilessly), but those who have been do not dare envy my life, even when theyre overjoyed to see Gods blessings manifest. They know better. I have NEVER not had to push through fear, never not had to endure unjust crushing, never not been victimized by false accusation, never not had to take a leap of faith into what God has called me to do in order to lay hold of it. And that initial choice to push through is the same choice I have to make many many times over and over again in order to successfully carry out the mission of each season. But because of Gods grace that enables me to set my will to CHOOSE unwavering determination, Wisdom proves Herself in every single instance. Time will either expose or promote, and what you battle along the journey is what your uniquely designed sanctification process is made up of in that season. Embrace it. Hold your own feet to the fire. Die quietly... (as in not on Facebook, incase that was confusing.) Something being hard is not an indicator that you should give up. Know who wants you to give up? The enemy of your soul and destiny wants you to give up, abort, forfeit, fold, throw in the towel, walk away. He cant force you to quit, but he can seduce you to come into alignment with his plan when you listen to the thoughts he whispers in your ear. So STOP IT. Im serious. Stop it right now. Pull away from all the distractions and ask the Holy Spirit, In what ways am I partnering with the enemy to kill me? Then confess you have given room to the enemy in those areas, forgive any family members or friends who have operated the same way or influenced you negatively in this area, forgive yourself for the limitations youve put on your own life and the mess its created, ask the Lord to forgive you and then take a moment to really receive His forgiveness... Then walk in the opposite spirit until you have breakthrough, submitting to the sanctifying and transforming process of becoming everything God designed you to be. THAT is how you become successful. Do you have what it takes to lay hold of what you say you want? Are you willing to bleed for it? Are you willing to partner with God to bring about His plan for your life and your childrens lives, even when it includes pain along the way? Cmon, now. Gods not a namby-pamby God. Youre not fighting a namby-pamby enemy. And this is not a namby-pamby war youre called to overcome in life. Soldier up. Love deeply. Walk in humility. Be discerning. Operate in integrity. Live with impassioned boldness. AND BE GREAT! #TransparantLeader #theGOODlife #KingdomSuccess
