Looking the Part can be so far off!!

Diamonds, many people are looking the part, but they are falling apart and their hearts are far off. The truth can also be said of ourselves if we are not honest with who we are and how we are living apart from how we look on the outside but God sees the heart. God has a way of distinguishing the real from the fake. Try the spirit by the Spirit the Bible says.(1 John 4:1-5) The Bible also says that you may those who are His by their fruit. (Matthew 7:15-23)

We can't get oranges from an apple tree or lemons from a grape vine. It is the same way with those that may look the part but they have no love for their neighbors. They don't trust in the Word of God. In fact, they live contrary to the Word.

And for anyone that does not confess Jesus as Lord, they do not, will not, cannot without the presence of the Holy Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12:3)

The Holy Spirit seals every believer, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession--to the praise of his glory! (Ephesians 1:13)

Don't be deceived. Don't be fooled. Wear your spiritual eyewear at ALL times!

Be blessed!

Today, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season. The lenten season is observed to better appreciate the death, and resurrection of Christ through self-examination, repentance, prayer, fasting, and self-denial. In addition, Ash Wednesday has another significant meaning for me. It was on this day, Ash Wednesday that the Lord brought me out of my induced coma in 2000, March 8th to be exact. Prior to that, I could only recall seeing my brother the night of the fire  in January who accompanied me in the ambulance while being transported to what was then called UMDNJ in Newark, NJ. On that Ash Wednesday, I can remember seeing both my grandmother and my mommy sitting in my hospital room. Grandma holding a can of Pepsi, and mommy doing something with my feet, lol. Probably clipping my toe nails. There is also that taste of chicken broth or soup I will never forget fed to me intravenously along with other fluids to sustain me while I was in a coma. Its been 16 years fr...

I thought of you when I read this quote from "Emboldened: A Vision for Empowering Women in Ministry" by Tara Beth Leach, Scot McKnight - "Sisters in Christ, it is my hope that you lead, teach, preach, shepherd, evangelize, and equip in the way that only you—in the Spirit—can do. And do it with confidence; do it with gusto." Start reading this book for free: http://a.co/5xV6BZk

Diamonds,  your focus should never be to rub elbows with those in power, but to humbly serve in the capacity He has called you! Watch beloved, in due season, God will exalt you to places and positions that you thought was dependent on others! However, there is some truth to this.....the right Person in fact, is the one who called you to your position of purpose in first place--Jesus! Keep your eyes and your undivided attention on Him! If He said it, believe it! You can ALWAYS take God at His word! #BeKneeDeepInService #GodWillRewardYourFaithfulness #HeWillPlaceYouInThePresenceOfKings #StayInThePresenceofGod
