I wanted to send you a quick note on a word that God dropped in my spirit that was a message intended not only for me, but also for the masses.

The Word is Don’t Quit.

Here’s why.  I just concluded a call with my professor from post-grad school.  For those of you who don’t know, I am working on my Doctorate in Public Administration.  This fall, I will enter the final stage in this process, which requires the writing and publishing of my dissertation.  (Hear Me Out – There is a Point)..  This past 10 weeks have been the most grueling, challenging and laborious 10 weeks I’ve ever experienced in academia with requirements of research papers every 2 weeks on scientific methodologies and action research.  I spent many nights in tears asking myself – is it really worth it?  I questioned if I had even acquired the skills needed to stand before a committee and defend my research.  I questioned it ALL….  I’m sure my husband and kids thought that I had lost my mind.  And sometimes I even felt that if I hadn’t lost my mind, I was sure on my way to losing it…  But wait…

I received a phone call today from my professor.  On the other end of the line, I hear “job well done.”

What a great feeling to speak with your professor in one of the most challenging seasons I had ever had academically, and hear him say “job well done.”  He went on the say that he could definitely see a vast difference in my scholarly writing style since the beginning of class and that I had used thoughtful consideration and applied critical thinking skills in my research.  This last 10 weeks has been quite the experience, but one that I wouldn’t change for the world. I was acquiring a skill for FUTURE USE. 

What does this mean to you?  I believe that God has allowed you to open this up, read it to this very point to know that this applies to you as well.  Don’t Quit.  What is it that you are working to accomplish?  Are you confronted with issues in your marriage, singleness, family, school, business or work?  The very challenges that come to break you will MAKE YOU when you Don’t Quit.  You are being stretched for your ASSIGNMENT..

Trust God in the process.  Don’t get weary in the battle saints, for you shall reap if you faint not.  Lean not to your own understanding but acknowledge Him in all your ways and He shall direct your path. The very challenge sent to make you weary is actually strengthening your faith, allowing you to trust more, and press in to Him.  Don’t Quit

Anything worth having will take your blood, sweat, and tears.  I know, because in this moment of transparency, I can humbly say that I almost gave up.  But my inner man wouldn’t let me quit.

I leave you with this – whatever you have in front of you – though it may challenge you – Don’t take short cuts!  Follow through in your marriage, family, ministry, business, health and education and any other area that you have confronting you now.  In this journey, I believe that He’ll send messengers – just as He sent my professor & just and He sent me to you to say “Job Well Done”…  Don’t Quit – Keep going.

Timing is everything.

In this season of governmental order, perfection and establishment , Doors are open for all who will receive and walk through. Opposition will present itself but I have not given you the spirit of fear, I formed you for dominion. Walk in that dominion now and know that I have sent a select few to help guide you through this process. Know that where you are going they have been and through this process, breakthrough shall occur for all.  As they bring you through they will be brought through their own processes.  This is a season of divine relationships and covenants being strengthened.  Know who you are and who God would have you attached too.

In this season – even as doors are opened – there will be a refining process.  The process will be likened unto a consuming fire brought to purge and remove everything that is not useful.  Fearless Faith is needed to walk through the open door, but even as you apply your Faith, know that perfection and refining is at work.  In some cases, this will require a change of environment, change of mindset, change of attitude and change of heart.  This also requires Perseverance, Endurance and Tenacity.  Humility shall be your response in order to obtain the Goods.  The fight is in the spiritual but playing out in the natural, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood.  Through it all, God is setting you in a wealthy place to aide and assist the masses.  In this season, what you do unto your brother, you do unto God. Watch your response – even when it appears to be right.  God has your back, He is your refuge and your strength,  a very present help in the time of need.

Your Time, Your Season, Your Moment.. Now!!!

People who genuinely serve, simply have a heart to “serve”.  When it’s from the true heart of God, there are no motives, there aren’t any returns required and there isn’t an hidden agenda.  They simply enjoy “serving”.  And while there are no motives in their service, the return is oftentimes greater than the output.

When it comes to our brothers and sisters the goal should be to lift another up, to push to the next level and to see success in the eyes of others.

The questions for today are these:  Are you your brothers keepers simply because you enjoy seeing the success of others?  Do you serve simply because you obtain fulfillment from aiding in the lifting up of another? What is your agenda?

The other side of this seasons open door has more people in front of it than where you currently are.  There are more too help, more too love, more too seek to better understand.  There is more required of you – therefore as you advance to more – know that there is greater on the other side.  Luke 12:28 To whom much is given, much is required.

Finish Your Course

Greetings All.  As we busy ourselves this weekend trying to hurry about to make ready for “Easter Sunday”, let me take a brief moment to state what this metaphorically means to me:  “Finish Your Course”.

Jesus paid the ultimate price for you and I.  He came, He died, He Rose and He’s Coming back again.

In His earthly walk, Christ “Finished His Course”.  Persecuted, Beaten, Stoned, Hung on a Cross, Buried in a tomb, Left for Dead, “He Got Up” – and He did it all for you and I.  Even through His trials, He completed what He set out to do.  Today I say to you:  Whatever it is that you have set out to do, whatever vision God has given you, whatever birthing room experience you may find yourself in right this moment, if you find yourself down, Get Back Up and “Finish Your Course”

The thief comes to steal our joy, our families, our health, our peace our everything, but Christ came to give us life and life more abundantly (John 10:10).

As we celebrate our Risen Savior, know that you get to choose your response.  Will you respond like Jesus did or will you respond in your own flesh.   Choose to Finish Your Course.  No competition, No Vanity, Not someone else’s assignment, No other path will you take but yours.

Finish Your Course

We have the KEYS to THE KINGDOM.  Dominion and Power was Granted.  Access Has Been Given.  Keep Walking – Keep Believing and FINISH YOUR COURSE.

He loves us and He knows the exact place we are in Him today.  Trust Him for direction, Trust Him with your very life.  Nothing can separate us from His Love.

We are more than Conquerors.  For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:37-39 NIV).
