My Confidence...

Be Confident in God

Jesus knew where He came from, He knew what He was sent to do, and He knew where He was going. When you get that confidence of knowing God and His purpose for your life, you will not be affected by the judgments or criticisms of other people.

You know you belong to God. You know His hand is on you. You know His anointing is on you. You know what you are called to do. You know that with every breath you take, you are trying to follow Him, and you know where you are going when you are all finished. Say, "Nothing that happens today can separate me from God's love and His purpose for my life."

I read this, this morning during my quiet time, and I felt my whole spirit just lift... its true for me, Jesus is my confidence.

there is much to fear in this world, but with Jesus, there is nothing to fear really.

the future, physically,humanly..... looks uncertain...

the future, spiritually is guaranteed...I am SUPER DUPER CONFIDENT OF THAT.

Jesus is already in my future.

He already knows what will happen in my life, and is carefully mapping out my every step. and where I may tend to get off track, He is already there guidng , shaping, leading.

I am confident today of that.

I do not put my confidence in humans easily, they have a habit of letting you down, getting it wrong, even myself, sometimes I get it wrong (gasp, shock horror)

but when I find a Godly man, a Godly women, its easier to trust them, because you can see Jesus shining through them, and when they are leaders above you, its even better still.

My confidence is in Jesus Christ.

My Faith is firmly established upon Him.

I trust Him. I trust the leaders that He has positioned above me at this time, that they will listen to the voice of my God as they lead in His kingdom.

the other day, my mentor spoke into my life, he encouraged me, edified me, blessed me, spoke truth into my heart, and I am humbled, but I have inner peace in my spirit because of the people living for Jesus around me these days.

my confidence is well placed these days.

Can barely wait to see what Jesus does next.

What got us here, will not get us there.

I have been thinking about the this for sometime now. We as TSA have come along way, but yet...there is a long way yet to go, and everything we have done up until now, has given us the results we now have. It's insanity to think, that if we keep doing the things we have already done, that we will get a different result. All that we have done so far, in previous weeks, months and years and even decades have given us the results we are seeing right now. If we think for one moment that things are going to change, by doing the things the same way as we have already done them, then there may be a need for seeing a therapist. do things the same way, get the same result. change the way you do things, get a different result. the problem with this, is ..... that many think everything is honky dory....all "A OK".... and that's where the real bottle neck actually is. Because the truth is, (and many don't want to acknowledge the truth), that we are not winnin

Salvo style.... God is here.

For me these days, life is super busy. I used to think I was busy before, but now...my goodness. Now, so that it's clear, I am happy being busy with the Kingdom stuff, and would never cope if I was blatantly bored in ministry, I am simply not wired in such a way. Life is good. My ministry is good. My God is good. For those of my readers who think, that maybe, I think I have arrived..... wash your mouths out...there is no way I think that, last week my head was in such a spin, I literally had to walk out the office and go home. I went for a walk to clear my head and got drenched when it started raining, and it was really good for me... I gained perspective and focus and the next day in the office was a little more sober. It's a busy place and much is going on.... it does pose questions for me, which over time I will seek clarity from the senior leaders here....and I guess where needed, I will tweak where and when I can. in the meantime, I am just doing what I feel

A few things happening lately.

I don't think I have ever had such a difficult time.... I am well aware of issues where I have been disrespected and disregarded and my ministry count for absolutely nothing... 16 years means nothing to some.... Neither does 11 years of planting, oh well...that's leadership. It's lonely, it's hard, and at times extremely hurtful. But I still choose to stay the course, I still choose to go hard, coz I am not going home. Really when it comes down to it, when a person disrespects you, it is highly possible it is their issue not my own. I do believe though you have to earn respect and loyalty and so if I don't have it from all in my circle then maybe I haven't earned it ? Or... Sigh! oh we'll I am sure you get it. It's sometimes very lonely and as I said previously, hurtful. Look at Jesus, he was more than hurt, more than abandoned and more than disrespected. He was killed. Ridiculed. Spat on. Ignored. He was abused. He was left alone. Betra
