What's Stopping YOU?

      God has been speaking to me about this for a while, and all I can say is that it made me lay on my face and cry out to Him about things that were stopping me from doing what He told me to do. It got to the point where I walked into the restroom and it was a big writing on the wall stating, "What's Stopping You"? It makes you ponder on how many signs and wonders does it takes for God to get our attention to do what He wants and needs for us to do! It's like He's constantly speaking to us to press through; yet we don't step out on faith to do the things He's called us to do! So, you wait until the next time for God to give you a word, then wait for someone to give you a confirming word, then you feel the tugs at your heart, then you get distracted, and then depressed. Please stop, pray, Hear the voice and most of all, obey! In the words of my sis, Shirah Whitehead, " Your obedience is contingent to your blessings." --- In fact, that is so very true! God will give you clarity when you seek after him wholeheartedly and diligently  He will answer you and that's when the doors start opening!  There are so many great plans God has in store for His children. He speaks to us in a still small voice, and His Holy Spirit longs to dwell in us for eternity! Amazing right?! Indeed. Therefore, God wants us to stop delaying the things that He has spoken to us because He desires to see His children walk in the fullness of God and that the God-driven plans to come into fruition. There's a ministry, He told you to start, start it! Business plans you are supposed to be writing, write it! Spending time with Him so that you can get closer to Him and feel His presence; it will be an experience of your life!  Eating healthier and exercising; allow the Holy Spirit to minister to you about what you should or shouldn't eat and give you an exercise regimen suitable for you. You can't say I'm fasting but in reality you are trying to lose weight and told God the fast is for spiritual reasons. If you are a victim of that, don't condemn yourself; God loves you and His concerns and plans for you is way deeper than that.  Staying off of facebook/twitter/instagram/ etc., so that you can focus on what He wants to speak to you concerning His perfect will, then REFOCUS! The enemy job is to steal, kill, and destroy. He comes to attack us emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.
      Procrastination is a thief. It is to take our time and energy off of our God given assignment and throw us off operating in balance and order. It's definitely one of my biggest flaws but I had to get to the root of it and that was " fear".  Then, I get this feeling like "I can do it" or "I got this" and honestly, I don't and never will. There's nothing I can do without God and I am nothing without Him. God has to continuously slash out my I's and give him the areas where I am weak and struggle, so that He can strengthen me. We are all a work in progress. So instead, I say," I can't" but with GOD, I definitely CAN, and He does it all! Things are so much easier when you allow God to be GOD and just know your a vessel and a mouthpiece for Him. God will give you the words to speak, the things to write, and take you to the places you need to be, especially when you realize it's not you, it's all Him.
   So, what else is stopping you? Negative people?! People will always have something to say. Most times, it's a bad habit they might have picked up from their environment. Pray for them and keep it moving. We will all disagree on things but God's question to us will we react like Him and forgive? Not be easily offended---oh boy that's a flesh killer! Will will we bless those who curse us and love on our enemies? He will definitely bring you peace with them. God blesses those who are peacemakers. Remember, Matthew 5:9 "Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called sons of God." Allow God to deal with the people that mistreat you, believe or not...He loves them too, ya know? His avenges are greater than yours but you shouldn't rejoice when He give people their judgement. We all fall short to the glory of God.  
    What's next? Your past, it's nothing you can do to change it, but you can choose to move forward! Philippians 3:13-14  Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended : but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.  We put our own minds in a prison trap that causes us to be stagnant. God wants to heal and restore you, that's why its' you and Him at this moment. God wants you to become a better you! He wants to show you that you can't be bound by people either. No one has authority over but Jesus Christ. The doors that people "think" they are holding against or closing on you; God will bust down those doors, and open Heaven gates up for you!


2013 is 3 days away! Let it be a year for new beginnings and breaking out of the shell! Let go of the relationships that hinder you from walking in your God-given destiny and give it to Jesus! Die to your flesh, and allow God to resurrect those dreams/visions/ministries inside of you!

I am praying for you and continue to keep me lifted in prayer! May God bless you as you continue to walk in this journey with Him!



God is amazing and He loves you!
