Coping With Feeling Inadequate

God makes us adequate as servants of a New Covenant ...
Based on 2 Corinthians 3:5

Sometimes in life we feel inadequate or unable to accomplish things for which we believe God has called us.  We second guess our gifts, God's graces and our ability to move forward; however, feeling inadequate and being inadequate are not even close to being the same things.  Feelings are products of our thoughts, our hormones, the climate in which we live and other influences.  Feelings are important: While they are great arbiters for interpreting life and what is going on around us, they are merely symptoms or by products of reality. They are not reality in and of themselves. So, if we feel inadequate, there is a good chance our thoughts are focused more on our liabilities than on our assets.There is a real possibility we are not using the measure of faith with which God has gifted each one of us.  

I have learned that faith in Jesus, who unleashes transformational grace, by the power of the Holy Spirit, because of the New Eternal Life Covenant Christ paid for with the shedding of His blood and the sacrificing of His body, accomplishes great and miraculous things in us and through us. In Christ, we no longer operate out of our own strength, but we can now do "all things" to which God calls us "through Christ who strengthens us." God does not call those who are powerful, but He brings power to those whom He calls because of His Eternal Covenant with us.

Step out today in faith that God makes you more than adequate.

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

Image
   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
