Proverbs 16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. Isaiah 55:8-9 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 16 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord. 2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits. 3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall...

Stop Wasting Your Time
Speak Life Church
Proverbs 16:3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. Solomon said Psalm 127 1-2: Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep. Ephesians 5:16-17 16 making the most of your time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be...

Climbing the stairs

I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. john 10:9 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” Rev 3:20 Trouble in life are like stairs to heaven after you are saved.

What I learned from the latest Exorcist movie.
Speak Life Church
False Guilt = not good enough Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. But not everyone possesses this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled. 1 Corinthians 8:7 False guilt can result in depression and spiritual paralysis. Someone suffering from false guilt may feel that...

Staying right - 341
Speak Life Church
In the Bible, Matthew 12:43–45 states that an evil spirit that leaves a person goes to arid places in search of rest, but finds none. It then says, "I will return to the house I left". When it arrives, it finds the house clean and in order, and then takes seven more wicked spirits with it, and they live there. The final condition of that man is worse than the first. John 14:31) Seeing then they had not the protection of Angels, and were burdened with the useless observances of the Law, and the traditions of the Pharisees, the Devil returns to his former dwelling, and, taking to...

Romans 10:2 - For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
For those who have been Catholic or worshiped in a denomination that related to - you know this is the Lenten Season. It’s 40 days before easter. Starts right after the orgy and bacchanalia which is Mardi Gras - ending on Fat Tuesday. All man made stuff.
40 days- ceremonious stuff -giving up stuff, man made rules
I have learned that sometimes having too much information gives you a paralysis of analysis.
You don’t know who to trust.
You latch on to things that you like and can understand, YouTube videos, speakers, IG people, and you integrate that into your faith. But it is not biblical, it is not sound doctrine.
I heard that…
- This guy on tik Tok said…
- I don’t have to go to church because…
- I don’t have to support a ministry because they are all crooks, you heard that ministry trying to get a plane?
- God knows my heart…
The devil lives for our passion, our burn out, our losses …
When we start new things, our faith walk included -join a new church, many were eager to learn, respond, and volunteer. Over time, however, eagerness waned. They lost their zeal.
What is Spiritual Zeal?
Spiritually speaking, at the beginning of our relationship with the LORD, we were eager, too. Our hearts were challenged and changed; we mourned over our wrongs, immediately sought forgiveness from God, and changed our ways.
We felt clean! We were excited! We wanted to pray, witness, read God’s Word, do good works, influence our world, and honor the Lord in any way we could!
How do we renew and keep our zeal for him? That was precisely the concern of the Israelites. What they did may serve as an example to help us.

Four ways to keep our zeal
Nehemiah told them this was not a time for grieving; this was a time for rejoicing, for they were seeking to obey God and were enjoying his favor! Their grief turned to joy. Nehemiah 8:9-12 (NASB)
1. Keep our zeal by making a commitment
2. Keep our zeal by holding ourselves accountable
3. Keep our zeal by assigning responsibilities
4. Keep our zeal by being attentive
Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. (Romans 12:1- 2, 10- 11, NIV)
Don't watch the clock; do what it does. ...
“Just because you're taking longer than others does not mean you're a failure. Keep going.”
