Power in the WORD

There is power in the Word of God. Never forget that. The Word is a sword in the spiritual realm. It IS the sword of the Spirit. As you speak the Word you’ll begin to see your earthly environment line up with it. There’s a reason why God said meditate on the word day and night. You have to get it inside you so whenever opposition comes your way, speak IT and watch barriers come down. As you speak the Word begin to visualize it cutting down whatever you’re facing. Literally see a sword coming out of your mouth damaging darkness. The Word is God, know what type of weapons you’re fighting with. You won’t lose with this tool! Jesus overcame temptation with it! Always remember, the enemy wouldn’t fight you if you didn’t have anything worth fighting for. There’s greatness in you. Keep moving and remind yourself everyday that the Word works, stay girded.

What's Keeping you???

What's keeping you from going after what you really want? Why do you keep settling? Do you not believe you have it in you to go all the way? Do you not believe God will carry out His promises and make it happen? God said he'll give you the desires of your heart so why are you not following your heart? You should never be afraid to go after what you desire. You should never be afraid to fail. You can learn a lot from what didn't work. Know that "what ifs" can keep you from your dreams. Don't allow what you think is going happen  keep you from moving forward. Know that you'll never know what will truly happen until you walk down that path. Don't allow fear or unbelief to prevent you from being happy. God's given you the courage you need to go all the way and he‘s with you every step of the way. So don't let “you” be the reason why you never lived the life you desired. Don’t talk yourself out of what you can have.

Psalms 37:4, Joshua 1:9

Keep God 1st, trust God, follow your heart, and soar.

Gifts

Use what God's given you. God gives us spiritual/natural gifts and talents for a reason. We're given these gifts to impact the world and to ultimately bring glory to God from them. Don't allow your gift(s) to be hidden due to fear, lack of confidence, or feeling weak in that area. Know that God gives you enough grace to carry out whatever is inside you. There is purpose for your life and God chose you, remember that. The only way you came to Christ is by God's leading. Know that God would not have called you if he didn't have a reason. Trust God's plan for your life and know that God orders your steps. So remind yourself as much as necessary that you're called by God ON purpose for a purpose. Never let another person prevent you from using your gifts. Stay in environments that pull your gifts out of you. Know that God will show you more gifts that are inside you as you use the ones you have or are aware of. One of the greatest ways to bring glory to God is by using your gifts and remembering where they came from. You have destiny to fulfill, Soar for Christ. IT'S IN YOU. -Erica

Keep it Moving! :)

You have to understand that there is opposition out here but with God you can make it through anything. God is greater than any opposition and so are you. Opposition comes to distract, discourage, and hopefully make you quit. You were chosen by God for a purpose and you can make it! No matter how it looks or how you feel, God will bring you out on top. Keep working, moving forward, and following the dreams God's given you. You were made win! Soar :).
