"I'm Not Who You Think I Am" - God

If there is one main “theme” I feel the Holy Spirit stressing so strongly right now, not only in my own ministry, but overall… it’s that of God wanting to share His heart with the world. His true heart.

Not just with unbelievers who don’t know Him. But, also with believers who think they know Him.

Over the hundreds of years and throughout the hundreds of generations that have passed, the pure message of the Gospel and the true character of God have gotten lost. The spirit of religion and the lies of man-based doctrine have left believers powerless, confused and with an incorrect picture of their Father in Heaven.

But, now is the time when God is opening closed eyes and freeing closed minds. He is reminding His people who He really is and introducing His true character to those that don’t know Him.

Because the truth is - He is not who we’ve thought He is.

Jesus as the Good Shepherd - What it Really Means

If you’ve been a Christian even for a short time, you’ve probably heard the term “Good Shepherd,” at least in passing. But, it’s also entirely possible that you’ve never really given much thought to what it actually means.

That was definitely the case with me.

In fact, I can’t even really remember when I had heard it before this year… I’m sure I did at some point. But, it hadn’t ever really “registered” until earlier this year when I was in the middle of a very active time period of the Lord giving me “downloads.”

Take the Risk

TAKE THE RISK.

That’s what Pastor Mike Todd spoke at the end of his “Racial Reconciliation” sermon. But, it wasn’t his voice that I heard in my spirit. It was HIS voice - God’s.

TAKE THE RISK. WRITE THE POST.

I had been avoiding writing a blog post about the racial tension in America for a couple reasons. For one, I felt like, what does it matter what I have to say? Who am I to say what I think? Our society today is all about everyone throwing their opinion out there on a moment’s notice and I didn’t feel adding mine to the mix would make any difference.

God Never Asked You to Be Perfect

I want to share a secret with you that I’ve learned through my own life journey…

God never asked you to be perfect.

Let that sink in for a moment. Really sink in.

God - our Heavenly Father - never asked us to be perfect. He doesn’t expect perfectionism. He doesn’t require perfectionism. In fact, He doesn’t even want perfectionism.

So, why then have so many of us run ourselves completely ragged trying to be perfect “for“ Him?

The Coronavirus Post I Didn't Really Want to Write - A Word for the Church

I didn’t want to write this post or even plan to do so.

I have heard MORE than enough of the word “coronavirus,” between the television, radio and literally every single email in my inbox. And I honestly didn’t want to partake in the hysteria around it.

But, after having a conversation with my friend about it the other day, I knew I needed to transcribe everything I have felt the Holy Spirit saying to me prophetically about it. And as I continue to see emails coming through from churches and ministries that are stopping their gatherings and cancelling their activities, I feel the urgency even more.

God Cannot Lie: Do You Believe Him?

In the past few days, I have been watching a sermon series by Pastor Mike McClure, Jr. (PMJ) of Rock City Church called B!G. And the timing on it is definitely not a coincidence.

One of the main things God has been teaching me about recently is believing Him. Not believing in Him… believing Him. Meaning, believe He is who He says He is, believe I am who He says I am and believe He can (and will) do what He says He can (and will) do.

And that’s exactly what PMJ started his sermon with - God wants us to believe Him.

It sounds simple on the surface, but really, it’s something that the majority of us struggle with. Even as believers.
