It's been quite a while since I have written anything in my blog. A lot of people have been asking me when will my next blog be. [[HONESTLY]], I have been (thinking) for months and (saying) for weeks that I need to wite something. But thinking and saying it simply produced NOTHING lol ... it wasn't UNTIL I STOPped what I was doing, sat down in front of my laptop, logged on to my account and STARTed typing what I'm typing now that's causing this BLOG to HAPPEN! LOL...
I said all of that to say this: It's TIME OUT for just THINKING about doing it or TALKING about doing it ... ((only YOU know what that IT is)) ... I encourage you ... GET UP! GET GOING! & START DOING! IT won't happen UNTIL ... YOU DO!
I say this all of the time on Twitter ... As long as you STILL have BREATH in your body ... it's NEVER too late! I have come to realize that WE are OUR biggest HINDRANCES. What are you saying TEE? ... I am glad that you asked: Many times we blame what DIDN'T happen for us or what DOESN'T happen for us, or what ISN'T happening for us on "other" people ... but if TRUTH be told, it's NOT "them" ... it's US! We MUST get out of our OWN way!! WE are the ones that's holding & blocking our OWN blessings!!
STOP! Talking Negative!
STOP! Thinking Negatively!
STOP! Listening to Negative Talk!
STOP! Hanging around Negative People!
STOP! Dwelling in Negative Places!
START! Talking Positive!
START! Thinking Positively!
START! Listening to Positive Talk!
START! Hanging around Positive People!
START! Dwelling in Positive Places!
It's a Matter of STOPPING and STARTING! And YOU, my friend, have the POWER to do BOTH!
Do you not realize that MANY times, WE talk ourselves OUT of OUR blessings? How many times have you told yourself: "I don't deserve that!", "I can't afford that!", "I'm too old!", "I'm too young!", "People aren't going to support me!", "I'm Just aWoman!", "I'm Just a Man!", "This has never been done before!", "No one will believe this!" <<<< WE DO THIS TO OURSELVES!!
Do you realize that for EVERY Negative, There IS a POSITIVE >>> Instead of talking your self OUT of a BLESSING ... try talking your self IN TO a BLESSING: "I may not deserve this, BUT GOD has granted me GRACE & MERCY!", "The money looks funny, but GOD is a PROVIDER!", "I may be up in age, BUT I am STILL breathing which is an indication that My WORK is NOT done!", "I may be young, but GOD deals in ALL ages!","When GOD is pleased, HE will send the SUPPORT that I need!", "I am Just the Woman who WILL Succeed at this!", "I am Just the Man who WILL accomplish this!", "This may have never been done before, but I am THE ONE for the job!", "GOD believes in ME and I Believe in ME!"
Do you realize the POWER that YOUR TONGUE beholds??? ((Check out Proverbs 18:21))
I've come to realize that it's NOT about what "They" Believe, it's what YOU believe about YOU! If you are looking for APPROVAL ... NEVER look for it in a MAN or a WOMAN! ... I HIGHLY recommend you get GOD'S APPROVAL!! And when you get GOD's APPROVAL ... it DOESN'T matter WHO Else DOESN'T approve ... You have HIS Approval & HE'S backing you ALL the way! And EVERY Naysayer!, Hindrance!, and Weapon Formed against YOU ... WON'T prosper! and EVERY TONGUE that rises up against you in judgment, You shall condemn! ((Don't believe me? ... READ Isaiah 54:17))
I encourage EVERY reader: STOP! (negative), START! (positive) & KEEP GOING (flowing) ... until you GET IT DONE!!!! .... BE DETERMINED!! :o)
Remember THIS >>> Philippians 4:13 (NKJV) - I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
LET'S GOOOOOO!!!! **SMILE**
Love it PASTOR TEE! I had a similar conversation with someone on today. Naysayers are gonna be naysayers and regardless to that fact do what God has said for you to do. You blessed me w/this one!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Love it love it love it....in the proverbial words of NIKE - Just Do It. Isn't it amazing with as much energy and thought it takes to be negative...you can do something and be positive!!! Thanks for the reminder YPT!!!!

I love it. Thx for the encouragement. I am guilty of thinking and saying many things and giving them no action. #confirmation (gots to do better!)
ReplyDeleteThis blog is my testimony. Everything I needed to START my dream of writing my book I had. I just had to STOP thinking I needed more. Everything we need to get the ball rolling we already have it. Great words of wisdom!
ReplyDeleteSimply AWESOME Pastor TEE! This rings so true even in my very own life at times. Thank you for this reminder my sistah, this has truly blessed me this morning.

Thank you my sister! I needed this encouragement today. I have to constantly push myself to keep going and not stop. There have been times that I blocked my own blessings from being slothful or just plain not doing what I'm suppose to.
ReplyDeleteKeep writing and sharing.

MIN. DARION BROWN (@MrBrownIsOnFire) May 26, 2011 10:15 AM: This blog is amazing and SO on time! All we have to do is "Just Do It!" Its so simple but WE make it more and more difficult to do when WE try and add OUR ingredients to His already perfect recipe for our lives (on that note...let me stop typing before i Preach! lol) But let the Lord continue to use you to release his word and May HIS Blessings continue to pour on your life both NOW and FOREVER!! Amen ~Minister Brown

ReplyDeleteYou my friend just BLESSED Me from the top of my head to the souls of my feet!!!!! What a on time word! I needed to read this today.. Not the other other day when I intended too.. Praise God for your obedience to get up, log on & let God speak thru you!

Love ya woman of God.. So Blessed to call you my friend!
ReplyDeleteExcellent post Pastor! We can NEVER here this message enough. We MUST guard our thought process and watch our words! Negative thoughts that are not immediately cast out will eventually go to your heart; and what is in a man's heart will not only come out of his mouth, but also manifest in his actions. The devil cannot cause us any physical harm [meaning he himself cannot touch our bodies]; however, he can infiltrate our minds [making us think and do things that can cause us harm]. We can't afford to give him that kind of power when Jesus has given us ALL the power and authority that He himself has… THANK YOU JESUS!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, way too many times we talk ourselves out of blessing. What we don’t realize is that every time we do that, we put limitations on [a LIMITLESS] God. We can’t become like the people in the Gospel of Mark Chapter 6 who missed out on blessings and miracles from God because they thought of Jesus as “just Mary’s son” or “just a carpenter” and not as THE Messiah, THE Anointed One. There was NOT ONE person in the Bible, apart from Jesus, who was “worthy” enough to have such blessings bestowed upon him, or able to do such mighty things that were done… BUT God used them anyway! And He will use us, too! We just have to get into that right mindset and stop giving power to the lies or the enemy!
Pastor, thank you for your faithfulness, discipline, and obedience to God! He gave you a message that we all know; however, need to be reminded of DAILY!
