Never Give UP

Sometimes it’s difficult to comprehend that it’s not about what you want but it’s about what God the Father wants. It’s even harder to understand that praising God in the storm doesn’t always change your circumstance…… but ………it will change your perspective.  You see, It’s so important to see things through the eyes of Christ. Through the eyes of truth and of faith.

For example: Fierceness comes from Christ; so does courage, boldness, strength, love, peace, joy , kindness, goodness, gentless etc…..they are all attributes of Jehovah. Believe it or not you can obtain these attributes. However, you must recognize that they are not obtained through genetics, money, power, education, luck, or because you are entitled. You can only obtain these attributes through God the creator, Jesus the son, and receiving the Holy Spirit.

………………………So…………………………

How are you handling your circumstance? Are you praising your way through and allowing God to change your perspective? Are you united with the Spirit of God so that you are in a position to obtain the attributes Christ has for you? 

Breaking free from the prison of your mind is not easy, nor is it fast. It is an unrelenting pursuit towards the goodness of who God is and most importantly IT IS POSSIBLE.

Our thoughts and illusions of entitlement can keep us prisoners in our own mind.

Our thoughts hold us back from the endless possibilities that Christ has for us.

Our experiences define our reactions and how we react unveil a piece of our true self

How have you been reacting in the storm?

Pray with me if you know that it is time to break free:

Dear Lord, Make me your offering. I am here to lose myself and what I think is right for me….. because When I fail, and when I feel as though there is no one to turn to, you are ALWAYS there. When there is no hope, you are the anchor of hope for my soul. May I get lost in your love oh Lord, and never found. That I would rise up a new creation, perfect and whole in your sight. That you would pull me from the ashes and beauty would arise. That I may take flight with wings of eagles and your courage would be like the wind. That beginning right now the walls of doubt, discouragement, fear and hopelessness be broken down in Jesus Name I declare victory over my circumstance, I declare peace in my mind, I declare new perspective and clarity in what you have called me to do. In Jesus mighty name   AMEN!!!!!!

I hope you are encouraged today and that the above prayer is the push and encouragement you needed. God Bless you and Never give up!

In His Love,

Well have you?

Have you ever felt like you were running out of steam? Being left behind? Or simply that you just weren’t making the cut?

I HAVE.

There are times in life that make you sit and ponder about your life, and the choices you have made. The choices that have brought you to where you are today. Those times are difficult. They put a magnifying glass on behaviors that you thought were  justifiable. They pull from the inner most darkness, that is hidden inside your closet…..you know…..where all of the skeletons have been hiding, deteriorating, and collecting dust. They make you second guess your journey and your individual process’. Those times can feel like never-ending, lonely nights, filled with terror from your past, fear of your future and doubt of your present. Those times can be a breaking point. Those times can either BREAK YOU or they can BREAK YOU OUT.

You see, being broken and being Broken out of are two different things…….follow me…….

My sister told me of an observation she recently made. There was a group of women running. They all seemed to know one another and were running in close proximity to each other. Except for one(we’ll call her Sue). Sue seemed to be struggling to keep up. It was obvious that she was on a mission though. She was pushing through and making her way to the other ladies. She never lost focus of the other women. Nearly falling over she wasn’t going to stop until she caught up.

Now, when you read that it sounds encouraging. It sounds like Sue is a fighter and wanted to get better. …….But change your perspective for a second. What if Sue would have recognized her own ability and embraced her speed? What if Sue focused on her race rather than the race if the other runners?…..Think about it…….. Sue’s pace was not wrong, nor was it bad, it was HERS. You see, The focus on someone else’s race could have very easily ended hers. She could have fainted, injured herself or she could have quit.

The fact of the matter is this. If you are focused so much on someone else’s journey you’ll never complete your own. If you feel like you are running out of steam, stand back, and readjust. Do not focus on the people around you. Focus on the Race that is set before YOU!

Those times that make you question your choices should NEVER break you. Instead use that time to Break Out, Break from, Break free!

Besides Whose race are you running? Yours or someone elses?

Hebrew 12:1-2 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of GOD.

We get so hung up on  the times we feel inadequate that we forget about the times we were enough. We focus on the 10 minutes of sorrow  rather then the countless days of Joy. Yes, you feel tired, yes you were focusing on someone else’s race, BUT NOW, Focus on yours.

In his Love,

“They”

They are not your friend

They do not want the best for you

They are not looking at you nor are They losing sleep about you

They do not care about what you are wearing, thinking, eating, reading, growing, planting, practicing, or even what you are about.

They do not matter. They do not pay your bills. They do not hold your purpose and They are not better than you. So stop giving “they” so much credit.

If you are uncomfortable then get comfortable. If you want to stay then stay. If you want to leave then leave. Your life is yours to live. Now, don’t get it twisted HE does matter. He as in Jesus. His opinion and standards do matter. He holds your purpose and your destiny. So, yes, you live your life but, with God by his Grace. You see,  His was given to us freely through the price that Jesus paid for on Calvary.

Do not live your life worried about what “They” say, concern yourself only with what HE says. They are just another excuse for you not to do what you have been called to do. Do not be distracted.

For the steps of a righteous man are ordered by GOD [Psalm 37:23]

He who answers a matter before he hearth it, it is folly and shame unto him [Proverbs 18:13]

 

With Love,

In the waiting

No feeling, just emotions

No feeling, just noise

No feeling, just tears

No feeling, just lost

Paralysis is setting in

When things are out of your control you feel trapped, paralyzed, breathless. Your Oxygen feels as if it’s trapped in your throat while your lungs fight for the air. Your body begins to fight for survival. Headache sets in, nausea from nerves start. Then you try to move. YOU CAN’T. Instead your paralyzed. Lost in the emotions of the unknown. Stuck in the thoughts of no control. You begin to battle within yourself. Putting on your armor and picking up your sword. You go to battle with the thoughts inside your head. There’s no winning. There’s no victory. 

No feeling, just emotions

No feeling, just noise

No feeling, just tears

No feeling, just lost

Paralysis is setting in. 

Time is ticking. Pain is worsening. Loneliness has taken it’s grip. You’ve lost. You’re all alone.

Without warning; you look to the hills. You cast your anchor of hope and stabilize yourself. In the hills, You find help so you look towards them.  You take those thoughts captive and cast out those imaginations. You begin to have sensation in your soul. Your thought process begins to expand and shift. You have feeling in your legs again. You can move. You take that pain and you cut it at the root. Thought paralysis set in but thank God no atrophy! Victory is near. 

You, get up

You, stretch

You, breath 

You, believe

You, MOVE

You, Die TO SELF, reNEW yourself, because paralysis……..It’s a lie! 

Whether wheel chair bound or Unable to think you are only as immobile as you believe yourself to be. There’s always a way to move. Whether in your soul, in the waiting or running a marathon. Don’t give up, Don’t stop the fight. Your brother is counting on your prayers to push him through and, bring him back to you. 

In his Love, 

Mrs. Noso
