How to walk in your new life
Now that you have decided to walk with the Lord, He requires that you take this walk seriously. Colossians 3 gives a perfect layout of what you should do along this walk in this new life you now have with Christ. Below I chose to pick out the main points from this passage to highlight these instructions. This is a practical guide to walking with the Lord in your new life. The references are taken from the New Living Translation, Easy to Read Version and The Message. Practical Guide for Walking with the Lord Set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor…

Rooted and Built Up
You have accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord. Now keep on following him. Plant your roots in Christ and let him be the foundation for your life. Be strong in your faith, just as you were taught. And be grateful. Colossians 2:6-7 Once we have made the decision to walk with Christ; that is to give Him our heart and entire life, it is now our duty to ensure we continue pursuing Him. We are told in Colossians 2:6, to follow Him. To follow means we remain at the back of someone or something allowing this individual or thing to guide or lead us. In this context, when we choose…

First and Foremost
Above all else what we should be focused on the most is building a true and lasting relationship with Abba. There isn’t any other more important relationship. It’s only in the a relationship with God can true successful living spring up. Take the time to build a relationship with Abba if you do not have one and if you do, spend time cultivating this relationship. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:33 NLT Do not get too caught up in the daily routines of this life. This is one way the enemy causes distraction. In order…

Your Strategy is Here
For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Isaiah 41:13 One morning I sat on my living room rug and began to talk to God. I expressed my desires to Him. I needed help and I knew He was the only one who could assist. To be honest I was a little more anxious than I should be even though He already told me “do not be anxious about anything…” What I really should be doing is that second part of the bible verse which states, “ but in every situation, by prayer…

Overcoming Weariness
But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31 NKJV My Friend, weariness comes to all of us, and when you give in to weariness, you lose your passion, strength, and determination to fight the good fight. You won’t soar like an eagle if you’re negative in your thinking. You won’t run and not be weary if you’re focused on your problems, thinking about how impossible something is. What causes your strength to be renewed is when you live with the expectancy that God is in control, when you…

A Position of Power
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Isaiah 26:3, ESV My friend, you may have many reasons for why you get worried, upset, fearful, and not able to sleep at night, but just because it’s around you doesn’t mean you have to let it in. When you’re at peace in your mind, that’s a position of power. If you’re going to keep the clutter out of your mind, you have to know what’s your job and what’s God’s job. Sometimes we’re frustrated because we’re trying to do what only God can do. Some things we can’t fix. You can’t make…

Shalom
Our days can be filled with worries, stress and fear. Peace is the absence of fear. Peace is resting and quieting yourself before God and trusting in Him completely regardless of our current situation. We are also commanded to live in peace with everyone as much as it is possible. We need to always do our best to put aside our own desires and seek the desires of God’s will which will bring peace in our everyday life. Let’s review what God has to say about “peace”. In all we do let us hold fast to the unchanging hands of God and rest in Him completely because in Him we…

Don’t Chase The Dream
We so very often hear the sayings “Go after your dreams”, “follow your dreams” or “Chase your dreams”. While all these sayings have their place and time, we must be very careful not to use them freely. I can not recall any one moment in scripture where we were ever encouraged to pursue our dreams or even chase after them. Have you? If you have please comment down below for further study on this subject matter. We are encouraged in Matthew 6:33 to seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all His righteousness and all these things will be added unto us. In this one (1) reference, the things we should seek after, pursue…

Peace
I want to leave this verse here to just encourage someone. Someone who might be going through a tough time. Someone who might be afraid of the unknown. Someone who might be gripped by fear. Well right now I come against the spirit of fear, you have to leave Now!! Leave now in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Fear doesn’t have any power over you, because God did not give you a spirit of fear, but one of Power, Love and a Sound Mind!!!! I declare this in your life today, in Jesus Name. Fear has to bow before the presence of the Almighty. Speak the Word of God over…

The Lord Wants to Bless You
You want a house, but God wants to give you a mansion. For a while I was seeking God for a financial breakthrough. I know a lot of us could do with some extra cash to pursue our dreams and become financially free. Sometimes it fells like we have to travail quite a bit before we can finally reach that which we desire. I really believe this is true. Just the like lady with the issue of blood (Luke 8:43-48) had to push and press her way through until she could at least touch the hem of Jesus’ garment, we have to do the same in certain situations. Do not give up.…
