Grace is Jesus, right?

So anything we add or take away from grace, we take away from Jesus. He doesn’t need our help, yet we continue to try to add to His fullness thinking in our human minds that we have the capability to enhance him or make him look better or make him more palatable to other people.

Some of us are so easily offended, that when we think that Jesus doesn’t need our help, it offends us. It makes us upset. We feel like we have to do something in order to make Him look better. In actuality, He doesn’t need our help. At all. His goodness speaks for itself. And once we allow His goodness to start showing through us and in our lives, we will remember and see that He actually does not need our help. We will see for ourselves that He is what he says He is.

He is grace. Period.
He is fullness. Period.
He is complete. Period.

Happy Sunday!

…Psalm 23:6…

17/09/2021

Growing up in church, I can honestly say I have always felt there was a “more” that I couldn’t get to. I heard all these wonderful things about Yahweh & Jesus and yet…they seemed so far off, not possible for today, and an illusion. I kept thinking to myself, “I know that there’s more to the God of the universe than what I’m seeing and hearing…”

So…I ventured on a journey (and I’m still on it). I tried performance - trying to be Holy, trying to be obedient, trying to live perfect, trying not to mess up, because surely this was the “more”. Surely this is what God desired from me. I had to “prove” I was His and I would get the “more”.

What I got was an anxious, overwhelmed, and discouraged mind & heart.

That’s not the answer.

But I didn’t stop. And I haven’t stopped. I stopped trying to prove and perform. I stopped trying to please everyone. I stopped “trying”….

I just was.
I choose to just be.

I started really reading the Word from a relational standpoint and not from a need to have a “word” to share. I started absorbing His love through His Logos Word and tapping into hearing Him speak His Rhema Word.

I started learning about identity and sonship - learning that once I accepted Christ as my Savior, I was now a SON. I have Holy Spirit inside of me. I am covered in the righteousness, atonement, character, and love of Christ. I am who I am because of Him and everything I do is because of Him.

All of those things I tried to do - they cannot be produced authentically unless they are a by-product of my relationship with Christ and sonship with Abba Father. They aren’t things to perform and do for accolades or applause, they are things that are produced from seeds of His Word and His character.

What I learned was that the “more” of God was answered in one word for me - SONSHIP.

It’s where I learn who I am through who He is. It is where I find my shelter, my answers, my comfort, my completeness, and my identity. I live my life to honor Him and when I mess up - I shake it off and keep tracking. I don’t dwell on the failures, I dwell on the Father. I listen all day - inviting Holy Spirit to come show and speak to me through everyday, practical life.

We don’t need revival for more of God.
We don’t need to do more for more of God.
We don’t need to perform or prove anything for more of God.

What we need is to learn our identity through Him, the Father, and allow Him to begin to work through and in us.

And honestly - I’ve never lived in such a place I live in now. It’s not problem free because life is still life, but lemme tell you…

I have experienced peace, joy, generosity, wisdom, and so much more like never before.

Know who you are today…

Reading in Colossians this morning where Paul (& Epaphras) were praying over the church of Colossae & it’s believers. A simple, yet powerful prayer that spoke to me, so I decided to take out the pronouns they used and replace them with personal ones and prayed it aloud this morning:

“Father, May I clearly know Your will and achieve the height and depth of spiritual wisdom and understanding. May my life be a credit to you, Lord; and what’s more, May I continue to delight You by doing every good work and growing in the true knowledge that comes from being close to You. Strengthen me with Your infinite power, according to Your glorious might, so that I will have everything I need to hold on and endure hardship patiently and joyfully. Thank You, Father, as You have made me eligible to receive my portion of the inheritance given to all those set apart by the light. You have rescued me from dark powers and brought me safely into the Kingdom of Your Son, whom You love and in whom I am redeemed and forgiven if my sins [theough His blood].”

Colossians 1:9-14
{The Voice Translation}

Good stuff... ❤️

Time to pray for America! 🇺🇸

I used to dread Mondays.
With a passion.
I had such a negative mindset & victim mentality that I allowed pessimism to rule my thoughts, behavior, attitudes, and actions.

I was miserable.

Then I had an encounter - no fireworks, no revival service - just a small whisper from the Holy Spirit who told me Mondays were a gift.

A gift?

Yes. Mondays are fresh. Mondays are the day that can set the tone for my entire week. Mondays are the day I take ahold and make it mine - I get to take advantage of this day and not allow it to control me. I control it.

Not only that - it’s a day to rejoice. It’s a day to honor my Father. A day I get to walk as a Son of God and through the power of the Holy Spirit, tackle every single thing that comes my way! It’s a day overcome (and not let it overcome me). It’s a day to minister to others (you don’t need a title to minister). It’s a day to be gracious. Thankful.

So now… Mondays are one of my favs. I wake up and tackle it. I knock it out of the park. I take full advantage of Monday and not let it get the best of me.

Father,
Thank you for Mondays. Thank you for the opportunity to honor and praise you another day. Today I am grateful for Holy Spirit who lives in me and gives me all I need to tackle any issue and navigate any circumstance that comes my way. Today, I rejoice because today is the day you made, you created, you designed, and you placed me here for this purpose an day. May you be glorified!
Amen.

Happy Monday!

Where is your mind fixed today?

It’s easy to get distracted and focus on all the negative things, but His Word specifically tells us where to keep our minds continually fixed!

So where are your thoughts today?

✌🏼- LB

08/09/2021

Yup. That’s it.

If someone isn’t flowing in the spirit of Truth by the Holy Spirit, they don’t get any VIP access to my life. Some only get surface access. Some get none.

Listen - I haven’t always done this. I’ve been bullied for my beliefs. I’ve dealt with people trying to give me advice whose lives were a mess and a half. I’ve dealt with the judgement of allowing people in I thought were for me, only to learn they were only in it for themselves.

Those friends and people who flow and speak life, follow the leading of Holy Spirit and have revelation from reading God’s Word - those are the ones I allow in, those are the ones I go to, and those are the ones who hold me accountable! Those are the ones I want undergirding me and praying for me! I don’t just ask anyone to pray for me - I don’t need strong opinions on the Bible to pray on my behalf, I need people who are moved by the promptings of Holy Spirit to pray.

I share this because unfortunately - this took me too long to learn. My inner circle isn’t necessarily small, it’s just been prayed & discerned over.

I hope today you choose to examine what and who you allow in. Set boundaries. Remove people from your social media feed. Reduce time spent with others. Find those people who are absolutely for you, but will also call you out on your junk - they’re actually true treasures!

Happy Wednesday!
✌🏼 - Lisa

I have always said that Satan‘s résumé, if he had a professional one done, would say this:

Objective: to steal, slaughter, and destroy

How did I come to that conclusion? Good question. Check out John 10:10.

{Now, before I continue please know this is not a post to focus on the enemy, but to understand how he operates. In fact, I believe the church, as a whole, focuses too much on him}…

Listen, I really don’t think the enemy cares that we’re going to heaven. There’s a good number of us that already have our names written in the book of life. But notice that he doesn’t necessarily leave us alone after that happens. What he wants to do is to keep us from knowing who we truly are in Christ, from living in the fullness of God, and to prevent us from becoming mature sons of God.

The problem is we are too busy blaming the enemy for everything in our lives, instead of taking responsibility for stuff that we’ve actually done. Another issue is that we don’t necessarily learn how he operates, we just quote lots of scripture to try to keep him away from us.

Just like hunters learn to observe their prey, learn their patterns, learn their behaviors, purchase and use certain calls that mimic the sound the animals communicate with… the enemy has observed us. He knows how we function. I mean, let’s be real, the enemy is not disorganized.

The issue is we have no clue how he functions.

He observes us, notices our patterns, learns how to “call” to our souls, and distorts Scripture in our ears.

We must understand what it means when he’s coming to steal, slaughter, and destroy. Then we must be able to identify, through the indwelling of Holy Spirit -who comes as a package deal when we receive Christ - his tactics and when he may have made his way into our lives and stop all his shenanigans.

So today - take a moment and just review these words. Then ask Holy Spirit to help you be alert (1 Peter 5:8), deal with anything where the enemy may have tried to come in and wreak havoc, and continue in your journey to becoming a Son of God. There’s never a pinnacle with growth with Christ…if we are not continually maturing and growing, it just means we are allowing the enemy more access.

Here's a black square we can all get behind.
You're finished Joe. 🇺🇸

I just came across this statement: “Circumstances can alter our moods, but they cannot fix our attitudes…” {Credit: Feminine Not Feminist IG}

The thread I was reading was basically saying that when we change our circumstances, it may allow for some areas in our lives to change mentally or emotionally, but eventually our authentic characteristics will seep out.

As women and (mostly) emotional beings, we think a change in what we do, where we work, what we look like, or even how we present ourselves will “fix/change” us - and for the better.

The issue never lies in the outward circumstance or situation - it’s always about the position of the heart and the renewal - or lack thereof - of the mind.

The fact is that our real selves come out when we aren’t getting our way — we like to pretend things are fine and we may even be able to fool a few people, but deep down we know our hearts, we know what they are feeling, and we know that, maybe just maybe, we are being brats in this moment.

To be honest, the three most prominent attitudes that most women take on (& I would know because I have been ALL three at some point in my journey) are that of:
•The Victim Attitude
•The Critical Attitude
•The Independent Attitude

The Victim Attitude causes us to have a mindset that tells us we are not worthy of God’s sonship and we have to earn all that we do. It gives us a orphan mentality and causes us to maintain a “Woe is me” attitude with a constant need for attention and affirmation - Tell me I’m okay. Tell me God is there. Tell me what I have chosen not to believe. It’s a thought process that we are the black sheep, the red-headed stepchild, the rejected one, the one born on the wrong side of the tracks - which is contrary to the Word of God.

Being critical makes one absolutely miserable. We are all familiar with the phrase “Misery loves company”, aren’t we? Well, it’s true - except they don’t want joyful or hopeful company. They want down in the ditch friends, finding people to dwell in the dirt with them or anyone who is willing to come down to their level. The tricky part with this one is that not all miserable people fit the “miserable mold” - I’ve met many miserable people who APPEAR bubbly, kind, and your BFF when in actuality, they are unhappy. The joy of the Lord is not their strength. Their lives are roller coasters of very little highs and a lot of lows. They can always find something wrong and they often feel entitled. Biblically, the only critical ones were the Pharisees and they were so miserable, they killed the Messiah because He WAS the Good News.

The last one is the independent one - the one who can do it all, has it all together, and the one who doesn’t need anyone. Although I fully believe in being a woman with the capability to handle and do all types of things and situations, the bottom line is that God never created us to be loners, isolated, or people who need to prove anything. I’m all for strong women. I’m all for women leaders. I’m all for women breaking glass ceilings or what not…BUT, I am not for us being independent to the point where we feel our capabilities overpower those of the Almighty. He is the strength through which we do all things. He’s the reason we are able to rise above, compete in the marketplace, and quality for our positions we desire. An independent spirit insists they don’t need anyone, have a hard time taking any direction or help, often use defense mechanisms, and view help as a weakness.

The fact is - if we step back and evaluate what’s going on in our lives, we may find that we have taken on one of these attitudes (or maybe not). Again, I’m not saying these are applicable to all women - but I am saying I have had to identify and deal with each one when circumstances have revealed not just my moods, but my deep seated attitudes I allowed to have preeminence in my life. I have to keep upgrading my relationship with Abba and apply His revelation to my life to keep these things out. I don’t “battle” them. I’ve put them behind me. They are against His Word. I move forward and make all adjustments and changes Holy Spirit says to.

My hope for you today is to live your life open to hearing Holy Spirit and to move back those things that may hold you back. May Yahweh’s goodness overflow in you…

“Why would you be so stubborn as to close your hearts and your ears to me? You are always opposing the Holy Spirit, just like your forefathers!
Acts 7:51

Q: Would you consider yourself stiff-necked?

I often find that when I’m reading God’s Word I tend to have thoughts such as, “I wouldn’t be like that” or “I can’t believe ‘so and so’ acted like that!” It’s amazing how quickly I put my intentions or what I think I would do on a pedestal and assume that I would take the higher road.

The reality is many of us are stiff-necked - please notice I didn’t say we were dirty, rotten sinners. Once we accepted Christ, 2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us we are new creations and the old has vanished - COMPLETELY. Nothing of the old (my old sin nature, the law, pre-Cross, Old Covenant stuff) is not applicable anymore - my spirit has been made brand spankin’ new!

But do you know what isn’t made new?

Our souls:
Minds.
Heart.
Will.
Emotions.
Personality.
Those pesky things that like to try to control us instead of us following the Holy Spirit. These are the things that would cause us to be stiff-necked.

Our spirit and our soul both want to be in control, but only one can take the charge. When we find that we are stiff-necked and we don’t have open ears or open eyes, it really means that our soul is in control and making decisions for us. It’s actually also a sign of immaturity. It doesn’t matter how long we have been saved, how long we have been a member of our church, or how old we are, decisions made from soulish intentions are an indicator of being immature and stiff-necked. We are in opposition to Holy Spirit, therefore in opposition to God.

When we are teachable and open to learn and make adjustments when given new revelation or taught something new or given a correction to help us in our lives, that shows that we are being led by the Holy Spirit who lives inside of us. This shows us that we are mature. It means we have eyes that are open to see and ears that are open to hear.

It is truly a simple decision how we’re going to live. Will we live by the life giving, advantageous spirit that Jesus sent to us after he ascended to heaven? Or will I choose to live by my soul, that has been corrupted here on earth? Which one am I going to have more success with? Which one will produce more joy?

I don’t think that most of us realize that we tend to live by our soul. It’s not intentional and we certainly want to live by our spirit. However, we allow our emotions in situations and reality of things to hit us and impact us more than the indwelling of the spirit within us. When we hear messages at church, we often think it is just our pastor’s opinion. We don’t necessarily go home and study it out. We leave and we say things like, “Great message!“…but rarely do we do anything with the actual word itself and apply it to our lives.

My challenge to us this week is to really open our ears to hear and open our eyes to see so that we can live in the fullness of Christ and to follow the promptings of Holy Spirit, even when they don’t make sense and they’re not logical.

Choosing to live in the supernatural,

Just a little Thursday reminder…
This world can quickly turn us into selfish, self-focused, self-care obsessed bodies thinking we have it the worst out of everyone…& it can be easy for us to disregard that many people are fighting different, yet difficult battles.
It’s easy for us to speak the reality of the situation to our friends and forget that God’s Word triumphs over our situations.
It’s easy for us to say, “Well…nobody checks on me” (AKA - victim mentality).
It’s easy for us to bypass Holy Spirit when he says to buy those flowers, send that card, or pick up that item that reminds us of someone and think it’s unnecessary.
It’s easy to think our dreams are more important than others… when the reality is, we are all in this thing together because all of our dreams work together for the purpose of God’s Kingdom and Glory.

So today…choose to let go of “self”. Reach out. Be moved with compassion. Give without end. Speak truth over every lie and discouraging thought. Send that text. Buy those flowers. Send that card. Tell her to chase that dream. Revolutionary women do it differently than the world. Let’s go! ❤️

“Discover creative ways to encourage others and to motivate them toward acts of compassion, doing beautiful works as expressions of love.”
Hebrews 10:24

I’ve been called strong a few (or several) times.

I would like to be able to say that I’m strong all the time, always hyped, always brave, always ready to throw punches (not physically), but today I cried.

Not just cried. I sobbed. I’m talking deep, having to concentrate on my breathing sobs...

I shared something with my spiritual father that has been heavy on my heart. I’m not mad. I’m not bitter. I would say my heart is/was broken.

And when I shared it, I sobbed. I didn’t realize how it had affected me for YEARS.

Do you know what he told me? He told me he was deeply sorry, that he could relate, and we would walk it out together. He didn’t shame me, tell me to just shake it off, or to “let it go”. He said we could navigate it together BIBLICALLY. Then he prayed for/over me. He also thanked me for being vulnerable and transparent to share something so hurtful to me, with him.

I know lots of people who say I’m so strong and I appear to not need anyone. Now - here’s the thing. I love people, but I’m perfectly okay on my own. In my family, I tend to be the one who deals with facts, information, and communicates what is happening - so I can tend to appear to not be effected by what’s happening to me and around me. But that certainly doesn’t mean I don’t need or want to be with people.

Appearing strong is not always a facade. It can be how some people process things. It can also be a sign they haven’t processed things yet.

Appearing strong may not always be what we think it is - it could very well be someone rooted like a tree but the river whose roots are deep and is like a tree that is always green and never stops producing fruit.

Appearing strong doesn’t negate the feelings one may feel. Feelings matter, but they don’t always dictate how people behave and react. For me, my feelings are what I submit to the Holy Spirit to make sure I am flowing in Him and not making decisions based on my flesh. Carnality can easily slip into our lives through unchecked emotions and when we operate in feelings and reason without the Holy Spirit it produces carnal results.

All of this to say... sometimes the strong ones weep. And then they weep, the weeping is strong. The heartache is real...& it’s strong. Strong people tend to actually feel strongly, it’s just how they process what they feel that is different. And that’s okay...

Just remember- even the strong ones shed tears...

Q: Am I a lover of God or just a ‘friend with benefits’?

Psalm 25:14 (TPT)
“There’s a private place reserved for the lovers of God, where they sit near Him and receive the revelation-secrets of his promises.”

Friends with benefits (definition) - Love and romance has nothing to do with this term, no emotional involvement, no commitment, “small alternative to random hook ups “

Lover (definition) - affectionate friend, two persons in love with each other.
Lover (synonyms) - addict, enthusiast, fan, fanatic, freak, hound, ju**ie, maniac...

How often do we engage in a Sunday morning service to get a “feel good “moment for the goosebumps? And then do we go back to only calling on God when we need him? This verse basically says that there is a private place for those who are intimate with God where they get to sit near him and they get in on his secret promises. This involves a relationship that is a commitment and isn’t random or when we need it. This isn’t based on a Sunday morning experience, but a daily walk in journey with him where we sit and listen and learn more about him both through his logos (written Word) and rhema (spoken word).

Many “Christians” actually don’t know God - they know about Him. They can give information about Him, quote verses, give exposition, BUT they don’t actually KNOW Him [intimately], don’t hear His voice, only use Him for “crisis mode”, and simply use Him as a daily accessory to their self-driven lives. They don’t know how much love, grace, mercy and compassion He pours out on so many of us and how His desire is truly for us to love Him, love our neighbors and live righteously, holy, obedient AND FREE.

Today, I’m making sure I’m a lover - not a friend with benefits...
