Are You Ready to make a Difference

Can you imagine September is more than half-way over and in less than four months we will be welcoming 2015.  Have it struck you how much things have changed over the last few years? Some of these changes are positive, but most of them are changes that warrant our attention. These changes are not only world-wide but are happening in our country as well, impacting our families.

 I don't know about you but my family has been impacted by some of these changes. These changes have created within me the awareness of our need to draw near to God, but also the need to arise and take our stand as Christians. As we look around and see what is happening we must become more passionate and determined to make a difference in our homes, our communities, our workplace and our ministries

Making a difference requires action. There is no place for apathy or indifference. We must turn our spiritual temperature up or off, being lukewarm will only get us spewed out (Rev. 3:16).

     What are some changes around us? Increase in wars, diseases that cannot be contained or cure, gun violence in our schools, suicide and mass murders within families. There seem to be Increase in the number of individuals declaring to be lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. Unemployment have escalated, natural disasters such as flooding, hail storms, tornados appear to be more frequent and at unusual seasons. Wild fires seem to be popping up more frequently. 

 What can you do? First you must realize that the answers do not lie within the government or world leaders, but in God. Let us come together and seek God's face and hear from Him.

Here are two opportunities where you can join others to pray for our nation, our government, our families, and our children.

You have all it takes

   I hope you are doing well and I trust that you had a fantastic week and looking forward to a great weekend.  By this time if you have younger children they are all back to school and college and you continue to daily lift them up before the Lord.

 Did you realize that you have what it takes to do all that God has called and is calling you to do? Yes you do, How do I know that? As a child of God you are created in His image and as any good father He has placed in you a wealth of resources in the person of the Holy Spirit. This resource will always walk beside you, and guide you in all truth. The scripture reminds us that what is inside of us is greater than anything in the world. We are also reassured that we are more than conquerors. What great news!

God will not ask you to do anything without giving you the tools or the ingredients to work with. That is not how God operates. He does not set us up or failure. Nobody can say he is an irresponsible father. Not only are you fully equipped but so are your children.

As you look at yourself is there a disconnection between who you were created to be and who you are at present?  Over the years I found out that the key in getting this in sync is obedience in what God is asking and Faith to step out and do it.  There were many times that I heard fear knocking at my door, but each time I would release Faith to go to answer him.

 I did not always get it right but I always tried and gave it my best shot. I kept remembering that it was not me taking on these tasks or pushing through these challenges but it was the God that I knew, that I taught my children about. He was the one who took over and gave me the strength that I needed.

My encouragement to you is never give up as you are also a conqueror. I don't care if it is a demanding boss, wayward children, loss of a job, foreclosure, a child with a chronic illness or even if you have suffered the loss of a loved one you will not go under. God has equipped you with all that you need for this journey called life. Find where these resources are. A key place to start is in His word.

In His service,

Vilma
