No Limits

I begin with an interesting question. What are your limits? It would be nice to say you don't have any. However, each one us can admit to having something that limits us from accomplishing what we want to accomplish.

Admitting to your limitations is not a problem. The problem is when you start putting limits on what you believe God can do. The truth is...God has no limits. and when you leave your goals and desires in His hands, you are allowing His unlimited power to make it happen. The only limits are the ones that you place in your mind.

I remind you again that in God's eyes there is no such thing lack. He only understands unlimited abundance and power. Limitation and lack are only illusions we place in our own minds. Negative outcomes are caused because instead of focusing on God’s provision, we focus on the negative ideas of our own minds.

Upon saying this, I will share the good news. You have full control of what you allow to enter your mind. So why not allow empowering positive thoughts over the limiting beliefs of lack that often creep in. The key is to seek God, summon His unlimited power, and dwell on the fact that He is readily willing to provide abundantly more than you can ever seek or ask. The possibilities are unlimited! Enjoy the blessings :)

Is It Really Good To Be Generous?

We all admire people who are generous. Generosity is an admirable quality because it is in indication of a person putting others ahead of themselves. However, does it get us anywhere? Does it really make a difference? After all, it is not easy to sacrifice our own needs to focus on the needs of others. And sometimes there is a price to pay.

This information may answer the question. 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 says: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not relunctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

This verse sums it up well. The more willing we are to be generous, the more we will see it in our own lives. However, if we read on, we will see that there are further benefits. Verses 10-11 say...Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

What does this mean? It tells me that the more generous one is, the more God will provide. God is already able to trust us with what He gives us, and will give us more because He knows we will be generous with that as well. The best part of this whole concept to me is that, by being generous, we glorify God. We bring attention to Him and potentially attract others to Him because our generosity is noticed!

If you are looking to make your Father proud and have positive impacts on His kingdom, then share as much as you can with others. And it doesn't always have to be money. It can be your time, talents, and smile. Anything that you give to others makes a difference. Either way, it's a win-win situation. The people in your life benefit from your generosity, and your own life is showered with blessings.

Knowing this, see what kind of a difference you can make today. Enjoy the blessings : )

Faithful Thoughts

There is much information available about how our thoughts can impact our lives and help us realize our goals and desires. Some people are very successful in doing so, while others say they try to use their thoughts for good things in life, but they still don't see the results. What's the missing ingredient?

In many cases, it is faith. I know because I have struggled in this area sometimes. My question then is, how does one develop their faith? After all, God Himself says He who lacks faith should not expect to receive anything from the Lord (James 1:7). I have found that prayer is one good way. God has responded when I have gone to Him admitting my lack of faith and asking for help in that area. Another way to increase faith is to focus on some of the inspirational verses in the Bible.

Another great technique I have seen recently is actually using our thoughts to develop our faith. Faith is described in the Bible as the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things unseen (Hebrews 11:1). When we focus on a thought, we are actually creating a substance of something hoped for. And when we see something in our imagination, it can be considered as evidence of something unseen. Put this together, and you have faith!

How do we use this to empower our lives? First of all, I read more and more how our subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between a real or imagined experience. The more it sees something happening, even if it's just in the imagination, the more you believe it to be true. By doing this consistently, and remaining focused on those positive thoughts, you will eventually live accordingly, and eventually receive what you are seeking. When we do this consistently, we are not only thinking good, positive thoughts, but we are also adding that faith element to it. With this combination, only great things can happen.

Try spending some quiet time each day reflecting on the ideal life. However, you want your life to be, imagine the experience as it is already happening. Feel the feelings of joy as if you were actually receiving the money you need, the job you are seeking, the ideal relationship, or the perfect weight. It's all you have to do. Keep seeing it every day until it actually occurs. Create that substance of what you hope for, and the evidence of your realized desire. This, besides prayer and any necessary action is you playing your part. When you pray, you are asking God to do His part, which He will gladly do according to His will. Before long, your goals will be manifested. If it's not exactly as you imagined, or as fast as you would like that's ok. It usually means God has something better, or some things need to fall in place first. Either way, you can't lose.

This method has worked for me, especially lately. I recommend you try this formula and use it in your own life if you are not already. Then...enjoy the blessings : )

First-Class Treatment

What is it like to receive first-class treatment on a plane, in a restaurant or anywhere for that matter? My honest answer is...I don't know!!

I have never been lucky enough to sit in first-class during air travel. Nor have I received the VIP treatment at a restaurant, sporting event, or anywhere for that matter. It must be nice though. As far as I know, these people are treated like kings. They are catered to and given the best of everything. The people serving them are very positive and helpful to them, and they spend that time living in comfort and peace. Wouldn't that be great to enjoy that treatment on a regular basis?

I am here to tell you that you too can have that first-class treatment. You may ask, "from who?". The answer is...from you! That's right, you heard me (or should I say read me). It is up to us to treat ourselves like the first-class people we are. We cannot (and should not) rely on anyone else to do it. Sure, it's nice to receive a compliment and be treated well by others. We should cherish and appreciate that. However, we need to know that we are first-class creations of God. He makes no mistakes. Every one of His creations are beautiful. It is time that you saw yourself that way.

So go ahead. Give yourself the first-class treatment. Treat yourself like a king or queen. Cater to yourself and give yourself the best of everything. No, I'm not saying to disregard others or go out and buy things you can't afford. Sure, I believe you should treat yourself every once in a while. However, what I am mainly saying is to know that you are an awesome creation of God. Shower yourself with positive thoughts of confidence, love, success, and being the best person you can be. That will allow you to spend much time living in comfort and peace Here's another important fact. When we treat ourselves as first-class citizens, it quickly rubs off on those around us. It is much easier to treat others the same way. As a result, the positive impacts we are looking to make, come much easier.

To conclude, here's my Godly advice for the day...give yourself the first-class treatment. Your life will be first-class as a result. Enjoy the blessings : )

Three Ways to Get Answered Prayers

Wouldn't it be nice if we always received what we wanted in life? Unfortunately, it doesn't always work that way. However, there are things we can do to ensure that our prayers are answered (when it's in our best interest for God to do so).

John 15:7-8 says, If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be given to you. This is to my father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my desciples. Another great scripture verse is Matthew 21:22. It says, if you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.

Based on these verses, I see three main ways to receive what you are seeking in life:

1. Remain in Him. This means remaining in constant communication with God through prayer. It also means believing in Him and His promises, being as much like Jesus as we can, and acting obediently according to His word and what we are prompted to do. In short, when we pray, listen and watch for a response, and act accordingly, we are increasing the chances of our prayers being answered.

2. Read and know His word. This occurs from reading the Bible and living it out. When His words are in our mind and on our heart, we are more likely to act appropriately and understand what He is doing in our lives.

3, Have/demonstrate faith. It is simple. The more we believe and expect good things to happen in our lives, the more likely we are to see it happen.

Why do these actions increase the chance of positive results? If you look at verse 8 from John 15 it talks about the Father's glory, that you would bear much fruit. When you abide in Him, know His word, and live in faith, it glorifies God. Don't you think God would be very willing to help you if He knows it would glorify Him? I would think so. The only time God would not honor a prayer is if it is something that would not glorify Him, or if it is not in His right timing.

This formula has worked very well for me, and I have seen its power in my own life. I strongly recommend you follow it. I am sure you will see the blessing in your life as well.

A Key to Getting Want You Want

Isn't it amazing how some people seem to get what they want, when they want? Unfortunately, the opposite is true for others.

So what's the magic formula? Is it faith? Luck? Being at the right place at the right time? I will say yes to all of those. However, I believe one word sums it up greater than all of the others. That word is....EXPECTATION. These people achieve these goals simply because they expect to.

I've seen in this in my own life. In general, when I expect to succeed at something, I usually do. When I go into something expecting to fail, I usually do. It's also amazing how, when we expect success, our faith grows, our luck increases, and we end up in the right place at the right time.

The bottom line...if you want success, learn to expect it. You can do this by envisioning the success in your mind. This helps because as your mind "sees" you succeeding you are more likely to believe success is possible. Then, as your level of expectation increases, so does your level of success.

It's a great way to live, isn't it? Raise your expectation level and let the victories begin. Enjoy!

Get Out Of the Way!

Who am I talking to? Mainly me, but anyone else who wants to listen. Just trying to help: )

I say this because I know God wants to do so much in my life. However, me and my ego constantly get in the way. We think we know more. We think our way is best. We think that just because we don't immediately see what we're looking for it's not there.

It's time for me to just move aside and let God do His thing. It's about making myself available, speaking and listening to Him, and doing what I am called to do.

God has so much good in store. Let us believe it, know it, and let it happen. Enjoy the blessings!

Great Plans of Prosperity Ahead

I was reminded of this wonderful verse in church today...for I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11).

This is a promise from God, which means these words are completely true. Dwell on this message today, especially if you've been having your doubts lately. God wants us to have the best in our lives. We need to believe and accept that.

Many blessings to you!

Beautiful Blue Skies

You could not ask for a better day here in Buffalo NY today. Cloudless skies, limited humidity and 80 degrees. The perfect summer day!

I'm sure you can think of your perfect weather day too. Here's a suggestion if I may. The next time there are clouds or obstacles in your life, take a time out and picture your ideal day and basking in its glory. It will put a smile on your face and help the clouds clear away. It works well for me, which is why I wanted to share.

Have an excellent day!

Tell Yourself This...

I have unlimited power (it's God's spirit in you) and extreme confidence.

Repeat that to yourself often and dwell on it throughout the day. See how it affects your day. I think you will like the results :)

You're Right

As long as I'm in quote mode today, here's another one of my favorites...whether you think you can or you can't, you're right.

This quote from Henry Ford is so true. Our level of success directly correlates with our level of expectancy.

Want success? Keep your expectations high and you will experience it. I really think you can.

Is It Possible?

The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible. Arthur C. Clarke

I found this excellent quote online. I've been thinking about this a lot lately. What difference does it make what I think I can and cannot do? How 'bout going and going until I can't go anymore. Yet it doesn't stop there. When I've reached my limit, how 'bout letting God do the rest. With Him there is no such thing as limits.

If there is a goal in your life that you have been unable to reach, try living by this philosophy today. Don't stop until impossible turns to possible. Then enjoy the blessing : )

We're Not Shy of Power

Wouldn't be great if we were filled with the most awesome  power in the universe? Well, I have good news. We are!!

I was reminded of one of my favorite Bible verses this morning. 2 Timothy 1:7 says...God did not not give us a spirit of timidity (fear), but a spirit of power, love, and self-control.

What does this mean? To me, it first says that God gave us His spirit. If we believe, it IS within us and part of us. Second, it tells me that this spirit is powerful and loving. Wow!

It's great to know this. The challenge is to consciously live it and be it. Imagine the great people we can be, and impacts we can make if we live and act this knowledge out on a daily basis.

So if you are looking for that special power, look no further. You have it. It is part of your being. Believe it and let it shine in your world. You will be blessed and be a blessing to others.

Have a wonderful day : )

Help Me With My Faith

I have been reading a lot (and writing a great deal about it in this blog as well) about the power of faith. The greater one's faith, the more likely they are to experience the life they desire.

The problem is that it is so often easier said than done. What about the times where, no matter how hard we try, we just have so much difficulty believing? I know I am supposed to have faith, but I just can't!

I'm sure everyone has been in this situation, and I found a couple of verses of assurance. The first is from Mark 9:24. In the previous verse, Jesus says everything is possible for him who believes. In this verse the person He said it to requests..please help me with my unbelief. This tells me that if we ask for Godly help in this area, we can receive it. Another verse is 2 Timothy 2:13. It says...if we are faithless, he will remain faithful. To me, this is saying that God expects that we will not always be faithful. Difficult situations arise, and it is easy to put our focus on the problem instead our Heavenly helper. This tells me that God is with us regardless. He will still be there in every situation, offering His help and guidance.

The challenge is to consciously take this with us throughout our day. Let us remember that He is with us, and that our faith grows the more we focus on God and His way. And when our faith grows, great things start to happen.

Have an excellent day : )

Trust Issues

I trust most people I come in contact with. That is mostly good, though it can go against me at times.

One question I ask, however, is why do I often have trouble believing the most trustworthy source in the entire universe? One who would never steer me in the wrong direction.

Do you also struggle to trust God sometimes? Or many times? You are not alone. When this happens I go to the same Bible verse almost every time. Proverbs 3:5 says...trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own undertanding. The Amplified version says..lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind, and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. Another translation says do not rely on your own intelligence.

Easier said than done? I can vouch for that. I have a decent amount of intelligence and I often rely on it. I see things as they are instead of how they can be. So how do we get aroud this? The next verse says...in all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. When we focus on God and His ability and power, it takes the focus off ourselves and our circumstances. God can do a lot more with them than we can.

Two things work best for me in doing this. One is to focus on times in my life where God has really come through, from the most basic situations to some of the most difficult. Two, is to focus on the faith verses and miracles in the Bible. If miracles happen for others, why not us? When I do these two things, it's amazing how much easier it is to trust in God. And it's amazing how positive and powerful my life becomes. The same will happen for you.

Have an excellent day!

In the Right Hands

Our present and future, that is. And it's God's hands I'm talking about.

I read an encouraging scripture verse today that really put me at ease. It's from Exodus 14:13 and says..do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today.

Isn't it nice to know the Lord is on our side? Today, every day, and always. Yes, we need to move when he tells us. However, this is telling me that there are many times where we just need to stay still and let God do His thing. And if we let Him, He will do great things. We just need to believe it.

God wants to do great things in our lives. Let us stay out of the way and allow Him to do His great work. Then we can be thankful and enjoy the blessings, sharing them with as many people as we can.

Enjoy the day!

You Can Make a Difference

If you think you're too small to make a difference, then obviously you've never been in bed with a mosquito. Michelle Walke

I thought this quote was cute, but true. No one is too small to make a difference. Even the smallest bit of difference is better than none. Feel free to share this with anyone else you know.

It's Going to Happen...

...If you believe it.

What's going to happen? Whatever you are looking to see happen in your life. The Bible says all things are possible to those who have faith. It is up to us to believe for what we are seeking in our lives and do what is necessary for us to get there. The rest is up to God and His miracle working power.

At this point you may ask, "what if God says no to what I am asking? What if I am not supposed to have it? I have two positives to that. First, if the answer is no, God is protecting us from something. He would never allow us to have or experience something that would hurt us. Second, it means He has something even better in store for us. If God says no because there is something better, I'll take it!

I will share the advice I've read on many occasions. Determine exactly what you want. Fix it on your mind and stay focused on it. See the fulfilment of your desire. Stay focused and keep moving towards it until you receive it or something better. Sometimes it takes longer than other times. However, I have found that the more I stay focused and faithful, the shorter the time it takes to see the results I am seeking. The same will be true for you. Please share when your victories occur.

Have an excellent day : )

A Different Take on a Classic Verse

One of my favorite Bible verses is Philippians 4:13. We commonly know it as..I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

I believe that if we live on this verse alone, and focused on it every day, our lives would be more powerful. However, at times I haven't exactly been clear on the exact meaning. So I looked up some other translations and found some great info.

The Amplified Bible states it this way: I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses inner strength into me. A new English version says Christ gives me strength to face anything.

The challenge is to consciously meditate on those thoughts throughout the day. If you are looking for more power, positivity, and blessing in your life that's a great way to make it happen.

Enjoy God's wonderful power in your life today!
