“For the most part we all think this or that could never happen to me..Amen..or we would never do such and such..Amen..kinda like Peter, Jesus’ closest and dearest disciple..for He told the Lord that He would never forsake Him..or turn away from Him to deny Him..Amen..but we again know the story..Peter did..He denied Christ three times..and I can’t imagine how the Lord must had felt knowing that even Peter walked away as if He never even knew the Lord..Amen..and even us we think the same Lord we would never turn away from you..Lord we will serve you Father until our dying day..Amen..but can we say that we truly do serve Christ..Amen..because for the most part we serve oursleves..and our plans..and our dreams..and what we want..and what we wanna do in our lives..we satisfy our own hunger that is inside of us..Amen..and without fail..we think we are really doing Gods will for our lives..but honestly..I don’t think that most has even dared to rise too the occasion..Amen..because for the most part we don’t wanna give up our lives..or the things that we are doing in life..so we just kinda stroll along living very quietly in our lives..like that rich young ruler in the bible..the Lord told him to sell what you have and give it to the poor and that he would have treasure in heaven..and the young man heard but he turned away and went away very sorrowful..because he had great possessions..and he was not willing to let them go for the Lord and for eternal life..Matthew 19:16-22..Amen..and the same we never step up to be involved..we never step up to lead..or to teach..we just say well I am not really equipped..and right now is truly not the time..but again it really all goes back to us not wanting to get rid of or change anything in our lives and in our own little worlds that we ourselves have created..Amen!”

“But I must say that the Lord says to us that now is the time..Amen..He says to us that the harvest is ready and white..Amen..but the laborers are few..John 4:35..Amen..for He is needing workers in His vineyard to do those special things that He has equipped and prepared us for..because we all have some sort of gifting and talent that we’ve been given from our Father..but we hold back for fear of failure..or of talk..or not being good enough..Amen..but again how many of you know that whom God has called He has equipped and has given everything that is needed..Hebrews 13:21..Amen..even if we ourselves don’t see it..God sees it and God our Father knows it..Amen..so it is truly us denying ourselves and truly picking up our crosses and following the Lord..Matthew 16:24..Amen..taking it one day at a time..taking every step by faith..because no we don’t always see the whole staircase we just have got to have faith and trust the Lord as we climb and go along the way..again doing the best we can with what we have been given..so today let us ask ourselves are we doing everything that we know we need to be doing?..are we rising up to the occasion that God has given to us?..or are we just living for self..all the while not being obedient..and not following Christ and His voice leading us His sheep along the way..because we are like sheep..we stray..and we take ourselves somehow out of the pasture and end up in a valley with them ole wolves trying to devour upon us and our lives..destroying them as quickly as the possibly can..Amen..for again let us know that the enemy is a liar..John 8:44..and as well he only came to kill steal and to destory our lives..but God came that we would have life and have this life more abundantly..John 10:10..Praise the Lord..so I pray we are living it..this life to the fullest..being everything our Father..our heavenly Father needs for us to be for Him and His glory..for He deserves it all..always and forever King Jesus..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
