I wait [patiently] for the Lord, my soul [expectantly] waits, And in His word do I hope. Psalm 130:5 (Amp.) Pause, pray and be patient. God knows all that you need and desire. He hears your concerns and knows all that you’re going through. When you think He’s not answering, He’s preparing you for the breakthrough. Position yourself in great expectation, while stretching your faith beyond all the borders you’ve imagined. Believe and trust with your whole heart. Command your inner voice to rest and reset to the promises of God. The word He has spoken over your life will not come back void. It will be fulfilled and every promise will manifest in due season. Hang in there, hold onto God’s hand and follow His lead. Press Forward In Christ! ADaubon

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thes. 5:16-18 (NIV) Prayer and praise go hand and hand. Make your requests and praise Him in advance for His divine plan. Wherever you find yourself remember God is with you. He is faithful to deliver us from all that we go through. Surrender to His power that dwells within us and completely trust Him with our life. He hears our supplications and is aware of all our tribulations and strife. Believe that God has bountiful blessings in store. He’ll hold no good thing from us and His love remains forevermore. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Above all, have fervent and unfailing love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins [it overlooks unkindness and unselfishly seeks the best for others]. 1 Peter 4:8 (Amp.) The love of God that flows to us should flow through us to others. As we receive His unfailing and never changing love let us walk it out in our daily lives with others. The love of God gives us the power to forgive, mend broken relationships, and reach those that would seem unreachable. Love will inspire us to seek the well-being of others with pure intentions. Love covers all. Let us love without conditions. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

I am astonished and extremely irritated that you are so quickly shifting your allegiance and deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different [even contrary] gospel; which is really not another [gospel]; but there are [obviously] some [people masquerading as teachers] who are disturbing and confusing you [with a misleading, counterfeit teaching] and want to distort the gospel of Christ [twisting it into something which it absolutely is not].Galatians 1:6-7 (Amp.) Now more than ever, it is imperative to hold onto your faith. Beware of spiritual fatigue and discouragement that may cause you to seek out or be receptive to alternatives. Maintain your fervor for your faith and keep your feet planted in the foundation of Christ our Savior. Don’t allow doubt or confusion to lure you away. The times may have changed, but our God remains. He is the source of our peace, hope, joy, restoration, salvation, compassion, deliverance, stability, healing and all that we need.  Stay focused and don’t be distracted. If it is not rooted in God it is designed to take you off course. Declare today, you will not be delayed, derailed or deterred. Press Forward! ADaubon

For you, my brothers, were called to freedom; only do not let your freedom become an opportunity for the sinful nature (worldliness, selfishness), but through love serve and seek the best for one another. Gal. 5:13 (Amp.) Be fully liberated to love freely. Sincere love overcomes boundaries and obstacles. It plows through hatred and dismantles falsehood. In its purest form, love will lead you to the right path and best decisions; even when the alternative is desirable and tempting. Love inspires and encourages us to do what is in the best interest of all, not just ourselves. Don’t be bound by darkness, or led astray by your flesh. Walk in the light of love. Let love be your legacy that lives on from generation to generation. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Living The Dream

If people can’t see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves; But when they attend to what he reveals, they are most blessed. Proverbs 29:18 (The Message) It is imperative to know that the best endeavors are those that include making a difference in the world that will impact and propel others into a different reality that you had the faith to believe was possible. To envision beyond barriers and have the fortitude to press forward at all cost. Hearing from God and standing on His promises. Believing even in the face of all odds and obstacles. Declaring to the world that God has more for all of us, if we would only look outside of the box. Look beyond our human limitations and trust that God can and will help the helpless, restore the broken, make room for the disadvantaged and bring peace to a raging storm – in all its forms. Let us pick up the mantle and dream bigger, dare to vision without blinders, reach deeper and love each other without limits or biases. Our future generations will reap the harvest and live the reality of our dreams that we proclaim and pursue. So, dream responsibility! Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else. 1 Thes. 5:15 (NIV) Don’t let the actions of others change you or what you stand for. It is how we respond and react under pressure and fire that exposes our true character and nature. When wronged, take your hurt, pain and disappointments to the Lord. Ask Him to give you the strength to show continuous love and maintain good and pure intentions. We don’t have to match anyone’s energy or pay anyone back for their misdeeds. Just keep living and loving and let God take care of all those who caused you harm or mishandled you. Stay true to who you are and what you believe. When life is lifing, let God be God. He sees you.

To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. Prov. 21:3 (NIV) In every situation there is a choice we have to make. When faced with decisions and considering your words and actions weigh it with the character and word of God. The Lord is with us and knows all. He knows the secret places of our heart and monitors our actions. Choose wisely with discernment. Let all that we do and say be a love offering to God. And when we miss the mark, repent and start again with the help of the Lord. Surrender to Him as He continues to make us into His image from the inside out. Living to please Him is what it’s all about. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Let Go and Let God Lead

Do not remember the former things, or ponder the things of the past. Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even put a road in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18-19 (Amp.) Center your thoughts and open your heart to what God is doing in your life right now, without letting the past hold you back. Being fixated on our mistakes and unpleasant experiences hinders us from being fully present in the moment. Make peace with what you’ve gone through knowing that God is working it all together for your good and His glory. Be willing to let go of everything within and without that keeps you bound and go in the direction that God is leading. May we forge ahead with attention and focus. Get in position for what God is doing right now. Your present deserves your presence. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon
