Emptied Out
If constantly you are only pouring out, never being fed...sooner or later you will be empty. Life has taught me that sympathy will only cause others to feel sorry for themselves. So often people victimize themselves, and expect others to pick up the tab. Pouring out can become much like an addiction, just as being filled up can all the same. Crack cocaine isn't the only detrimental drug on the market, there are others getting high just on the thought that the world owes them something.
No one owes you anything, we all have trials, tribulations, and our own share of hardships. Emptied out are those of us who get so wrapped up in giving, we think we can save the world. But this world is not ours to save, we are merely the tools from the tool shed that God uses when he sees fit to do so. And for you takers, if you continue looking only for gifts from the world, nothing this world gives you will ever be enough. When God created us he placed a void within us that can only be filled with him...and unless you reach out and touch him the King of Kings, the Holy One. He is Alpha, Omega, the Prince of Peace, and any man who does not know him will spend the rest of their lives trying to fill a void that can only be filled by Him.
And for you givers no amount of us giving will ever fill that Void. All you can do is introduce your loved ones to God, pray for them, and they must do the rest! May Blessings continue to fall on all ye saints of God.

Accept
There comes a time when you find and accept the person that you are, without doubt or full clarity you gain the courage to embrace yourself. No matter who you are or what you become in life someone will always demand you be more. Accomplishment is a good thing as long as it is grown from the seeds of your truth, and not the seeds someone has laid and planted for you.
Walking in the path that is paved for you can be overwhelming as your truth unfolds, when you realize that not only are you not the person others see you as, but you aren't even the person you thought you were. Your greatest strength can become your weakness, and you have the power to turn your greatest weakness into a strength. My greatest weakness is my struggle to perservere despite what they said I could be, and the ambition born from this struggle is my greatest strength.
No one can steal your mind, no matter what you go through...

When the Lord is preparing a work in you...
This blog was inspired by two separate sermons one about a month ago, ministered by Pastor John Hillard entitled “Storms”, and the other was ministered on 11/8/09″Being ready for war”, by Pastor Darrick Bledsoe.
Chilled winds will blow, cold drops of rain will fall, the fact is no one can keep a storm from coming… Although there is an umbrella underneath the bed, a coat in the closet, and windshield wipers on the hooptie so that even in the blur of the storm you can still find your way. These things are available to you so that you can prepare for a weathering storm, and our spiritual storms are the same way!
I see my true growth in my writings, a few years ago almost anything could get me feeling discouraged, but now my fAiTh in God won’t allow the things of this world to sway me so easily. Overcoming adversities has been the story of my life, for so long I felt so alone amongst my peers that’s when the Lord led me to this scripture.“For in the abundance of wisdom there is an abundance of vexation, so that he that increases knowledge increases pain.” -Ecclesiastes Ch. 1:18- This scripture has kept my mind at peace many days, all that the enemy did with intentions of breaking me God revealed to me these are the very things He will use to build me.
A vision in Christ is a form of knowledge, a glimpse of the portion of God’s plan that you have been called to take part in. Often times when we can not see something clearly we become discouraged, but human eyes possess not the ability to see God’s plan in it’s FULL magnitude. Pastor Hillard said in his sermon Storms “my grandmother never spoke of trouble, but I always knew when my grandmother was going through a storm, she sat on the porch in her rocking chair rocking back and forth, just a humming”. I interpreted this as an example of some of the things we have to “know to do” during a storm, Grandmother knew how she and God communicated during a storm. It is vital we too know how to call on His name, and keep an open line of communication with the Lord at all times. Sitting on the porch in a rocking chair might not be the proper preparation for your storm, but maybe a quiet night buried in the word of God would be suffice. In a spiritual storm an umbrella may not be necessary, but perhaps a scripture from “Our Daily Bread” is. That rain coat in the closet won’t shield the wind chills of a spiritual storm, but a prayer warrior as a friend will!
Pastor Bledsoe said in his sermon Being ready for war, “we get too comfortable, and the enemy comes in right through our front door”. We should never be comfortable in our walk with God, we should always be preparing for the next move God has for us. The enemy will sneak up on you during a comfortable state, and steal every dream you have ever had right out your hands. He will make a loved one fall ill, cut your electricity off, and have you thinking you’re in a hole so deep there is no way out! Funny thing about God has already said your loved one will be healed, He already sent the check in for the electricity to be paid, but He said “you have not because you ask not”. Before you know it the enemy has you so down, you feel like you can’t even pray, and he has made you forget the vision God once revealed to you.
The enemy has his traps and God keeps His order
God is a God of order, and He will not send soldiers who are unprepared for war out unto the battle field. While He is training you up to do His work, He is also testing you… If you have been recently called as a warrior to the front of the line, your battle has just begun. The enemy is going to do everything he possibly can to dismantle a new work for he knows that is when it is at it’s weakest. Shield yourself daily with the Full Armour of God, and be encouraged in the Lord in all that you do!
