2 Peter 3:9
9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his
promise as some count slowness,
but is patient toward you, not
wishing that any should perish, but
that all should reach repentance.
*Always remember that we are not always waiting on God to carry out the blessing or restore, but rather it is God who is waiting on us to be obedient, take advantage of the opportunities he gives us, and waiting for u to appreciate and take care of what u have in order to know if u are capable of being in control of greater. Even more so, he is waiting on u to invite him in for assistance and activate your faith to believe whatever u want or need is already received. Have u put your faith into action? Are u a couch potato that expects it to fall from the sky, or have u sown seeds or even bothered to ask God how to go about obtaining your desires? God has the ability to give u anything in any way he desires, but he does not place it on a time frame as humans do. He is so merciful that he often allows us to dictate the time frame. Who says it has to take years for success if the obedience, faith in action, and maturity is there? Let's not get in our own way; instead embrace his offer, make changes, and zero in on guidance.

Revamping Your Focus
Colossians 3:2
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
*When u focus on what God has promised u and what he has done, u will not be easily moved by earthly conflicts and issue. Even more so, u will not admire the success that comes with the evils of this world. U remember what God has for u, which is the blessing of Abraham. U will also be more aware of the fact that God owns it all! So, set your sites on Him and the rest ALWAYS falls into place.

Deliverance in Rejoicing
Romans 12:12
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
*Sometimes we go through those moments when we don't feel like focusing on a particular situation or event. We may have grown tired of praying on it, and have decided to take an emotional break. However, God tells us that this is the time we should be rejoicing and praying harder bc that's how our breakthrough comes. The more we fight with faith, praise, and prayer the better we feel and the more revelation we receive. I am currently going through that season myself, and God is sending me the word and kindness to help keep my perspective in focus. Let's pray for each other to unite the power of our anointing, and prepare for deliverance.

Faith in Action
While sharing Holy Spirit inspired thoughts with you all, I also believe it is important to be transparent:
I want you all to know that I was laid off my job on Friday, November 8th. The lay off came as an unexpected surprise, and was unethically manuevered by my employment agency. However, rather than sit in cry, I am putting my faith into action by applying for jobs, praying, and sharing my declared future testimony with you. I want you to know the following, which is in my heart:
1. I will not be late on bills bc I owe no man nothing, but to love him (Romans 13:8).
2. I have brought my tithes into the storehouse and obeyed the Lord, so I am looking forward to receiving a blessing that I don't have room for (Malachi 3:10).
3. I am the head and not the tail; above and not beneath (Deuteronomy 28:13).
4. I will not grow weary in well-doing, and because of my well-doing it is time for me to reap my harvest. I also plan to do well towards my brothers and sisters, even those who judge me (Galatians 6:1-10).
5. Grace will abound towards me, and I will receieve a SUDDEN blessing and deliverance (2 Corinthians 9:8).
6. I will have the desires of my heart due to my faith, obedience, and sacrifice (Psalm 37:4).
7. God will renew my strength and I will mount up with wings like eagles (Isaiah 40:31), which provides me with shalom...peace with nothing missing or nothing broken.
Stay tuned for more, and please pray for my strength in the Lord...I'm looking forward to the blessing of Abraham.

Release and Connect to Gain
Proverbs 15:29
The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
*Often, ppl challenge the authority of God and question His existence. This questioning may come from a personal belief that if God exists, why won't he help me in my situation? Or, u may have heard ppl question His grace in mercy because they have yet to overcome a trial or receive a desire. However, have u done your part to sow the proper seeds of deliverance? (Galatians 6:1-10) Are u emphasizing your faith through action, or better yet, have u even invited God into your situation or incorporated Him in your plans to see how u can elevate yourself? Sure, God wants to give us the blessing of Abraham and He has often delivered us even when we weren't worthy. However, certain desires, alleviation, and pursuits have to be guided properly and set up in order for plans to be carried out and certain blessings to be received. U also have to invite God into your situation in order for Him to do something about it bc He is not an over-powering God, but a just and mighty figure that still gives us the power of choice. Most importantly, u will need to be in right standing with God in order to receive the wonder of His works if u have fallen out of fellowship (1John 1:9) or need to be saved (John 3:16). Please, don't allow another day to go by that is controlled by your emotions of doubt, feeling sorry for yourself, wishful thinking, or anger. Instead, ask the Father how to rectify your situation and invite Him to assist and help u resist the evils of doubt.
