Mosaic

Broken, crushed, destroyed, cracked,defeated, beaten, subdued,smashed, shattered, fragmented, splintered, crushed, snapped; disregarded, ignored, destroyed, disintegrated.

If you are dealing with any of these emotions know it is in fact the Most High allowing  you to get broken so that he can create your mosaic.




It is a work of art. Hard to see when your up close or attached to the things that are needing to be broken to take something ugly and turn it into something beautiful. 

Psalms 51:17“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.”  

Psalms 147:¹Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. ²The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. ³He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

 Luke 20: ¹⁷And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? ¹⁸Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

 Psalms 34:18 - The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. 

Power of changing Perspective

Changing your perspective can change you from a fool to a wise man OR from a wise person to a fool. The old saying goes if you continue to do what you've always done and expect different results you are insane.

If you are used to an unhealthy toxic environment and you continue to search out that environment you are asking to be in pain.  If you are used to being hurt and then expecting everyone around you to hurt you, it will come to you and you will end up hurt. The people who are successful and considered wise or not those who are the most popular the most fun-loving or the most zealous, they are the ones that have the proper perspective on what is going on around them.

When another treats them callously they don't take it personally.
They understand that it is about that person not about them.
When someone isn't behaving in the manner that you think that they ought to understand that that is about you ultimately and not about them.
There is something about your behavior that you are not correcting and so continue to be bothered by their behavior.

Luke 10:38“Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.³⁹And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. ⁴⁰But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. ⁴¹And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:⁴²But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. ”

Let's consider Martha and Mary. When Christ was teaching Mary chose to sit at the feet of Christ and absorbed the wisdom and the teaching. Martha thought making preparations and making sure everyone was comfortable and taking care of was the priority. When she attempted to get Christ to take her side she found herself being corrected instead of agreed with. Many times we feel we are right. We feel that we have done are doing the right thing and others are in the wrong. Satan knows exactly what will offend you, hurt your feelings, and get you more focused on people and their actions than on what the Father is doing.  What is your purpose here? What is your point? Is it to be with people, is it to have friends, to make money and to be of this Earth? Or is it to support the Father's work and to focus on the job he gave you?

 We spend so much time focused on other people and what they are doing and how they are behaving and what they are how they are conducting themselves that we missed our own directives, blessings, and instructions. We miss with the father is really doing. Don't miss your encounter because you are to focused on someone else!!

Where are your loyalties?  Who are you trying to impress or gain acknowledgement from?  If no one in your life ever again said good job or that they were proud of you......would you continue on the path you've started down?

Giving ALL Diligence

2 Peter 1:⁴Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. ⁵And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; ⁶And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; ⁷And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. ⁸For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Yashaya Christ.

Are you giving your all?? Or are you living this life in a perfunctory manner expecting to be rewarded? Do you use excuses like Thank God for grace or well I wasn't born an Isrealite so....  

Do you know the Father is NOT playing games?? This is for your soul. Yes today, when you feel sad, lonely, or down. These are the most important days to press in and get his strength.  If your not going to ask your creator for help then you need to ask yourself where will this pride get you?

 

The bible says it comes before destruction.  

There are NO mistakes. The one who created the universe and hung the stars in the sky created you for a purpose!!!

 When we are excited about something there is a drive and determination that comes with that excitement.  More than excitement I want you to find that determined commitment deep within you and ask the Father for help. Give your service to the king all diligence and He Will make a way.

 

Where is your Fear??

Philippians 2:12“Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”

 

 Fear-

 

* an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain or a threat.

*be afraid of (someone or something) as likely to be dangerous, painful, or threatening.

*a mixed feeling of dread and reverence.

*regard (God) with reverence and awe.

 

 People love to say that fear is not of The Most High.  I ask what kind of fear??? Yes, the scripture says we should fear no evil Ps 27:1. But I want to know do you Fear the Most High??  The Egyptians referred to him as the terrible demon like God. Why? Because he terrorized their country for their disregard to His authority and worship of idols.   

You have decided to serve Him. You have confessed to those in your life that this is the path you are choosing to follow.  Did you truly understand who he is and what he requires?

 

The Most High has high standards.  Are you ready to live by them. Crucify your flesh and strive for Perfection? Do you Fear The Most High?

Matthew  6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Perseverance

Steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay. That is what the definition of perseverance is. Continuing on regardless of what has gotten in your way to slow you sown or tried to stop you.  When the enemy throws road blocks in your way how do you react? What do you do to persevere? So you show tenacity in fighting for what you believe?? In standing for truth?  Do you find a way to go around the road blocks that are holding you back from greatness and being more then a conqueror? Or do you just get sucked in? Sucked in to self pity and failure?  Following the scriptures will lead you on a path of perseverance and steadfastness.

Have you found peace?

The world says do what thou wilt. A million friends, cars, cash,  a house, an education, a big exciting life, is what it is about. If you aren't shopping, partying, hanging, your missing out. But the Malachi 3:18 ) Prove All things.  Be content in whatsoever state you find yourself in.  That the Holy spirit will teach us, and lead us into all truth.  Often times we wonder why can't I just be happy? Why can't life just be easy? Its because we have not yet mastered our flesh. We have not yet learned to walk by the spirit and follow the Lord in all things. Peace with all men. When you receive the peace that Christ promised to leave us you can sit back, watch the craziness of this world and the signs of the times and pray. When you have gotten to  a place that your mind and focus are on things above, things that are happening around you have less of an impact on you. You see it as all part of a process. If you cannot contain the emotion that the experience is causing you to have then you know this is a vital lesson for you to get to the kingdom.   Scripture tells us that worldly wisdom is not Godly wisdom.( 1 Cor 3:19) That we should study to show ourselves approved.(2 Tim 2:15) Live a quiet life,(1 Thess 4:11) discern the spirits of those around us.

Ecclesiasticus 19:20“The fear of the Lord is all wisdom; and in all wisdom is the performance of the law, and the knowledge of his omnipotency.”

Proverbs 4:7“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.”
