SPOKE TO ME TO DAY

TAKEN FROM SISTER HURST BLOG, SPOKE TO ME; HOPE IT SPEAKS TO YOU

God is not a respecter of persons but He is a respecter of principals. He has plans for everyone to accomplish great things. Don’t believe anything other than Jer. 29:11(Amplified Bible)–For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.

Here are a few principals to help you start today!



1. Work Like it is up to you and pray like it is up to God! Work hard and pray hard! God wants to help you more than you want His help.


2. Have a concise plan of where and what you want to accomplish. Write it down in detail. Then write down how you think you will accomplish it.


3. Do 5 things every day that drives you in that direction.


4. ASK for help. Surround yourself with a team of people who share your passion.


5. Contact someone who has already done what you want and ask for them to coach you. Be willing to do what they ask.


6. Align yourself with the authorities in your life.


7. Be grateful for every opportunity that comes your way and give 110% like it is where you already want to be.


8. Take risk. Sometimes when you live on the edge you will fall off but you will miss 100% of the opportunities that you never try! The worst thing that could happen is most likely where you already are.


9. Take serious action today. Don’t wait one more day!


10. Do what you love! Most likely your gift is in someway connected!

Taking Action On The Nudge

Happy New Year to everyone. I haven't posted yet this year. So I would like to start of with that.

Do you ever wonder if that small little nudging you feel waaaay down deep inside is from God or just you? How do you tell the difference? And if you follow that nudging, even if it is just from you and not God...is that OK? And if you don't follow that nudging, even if you know it is from God and not you...is that OK?

I struggle with this sometimes. I want to do the right thing. I want to be obedient. But I don't do the right thing and I am disobedient.

Sometimes the nudge is to do something easy. Sometimes it is to try something new. Sometimes it forces me to think about stepping out of my comfort zone.

When I don't do anything, I use the excuse that I don't know if the nudge is from God or just me. I use the excuse of "praying about it" so I don't have to move into action right away. Or I just plain ignore it.

This is something I want to do better this year. I want to be ready to do what I feel God is asking me to do. To not be afraid. To stop ignoring and to start doing.
