KINGS!!!! Random thoughts, not in order

I've been absent for a while, its been a roller coaster to say the least.... these are some things that I have learned and are still learning since I got laid off 6 mths ago

• You were created to take dominion and snatch the wealth from the wicked who store it up.  You don't have to ask them for it, take it! it's yours. Everything the devil stole from you, he has to return it 7 fold.
• What separates your dreams from dreams is perseverance
• Favor over wealth
• If you want different results, do somethin' different
• Decide to do one thing a day that intimidates you (the only failure, is failure to try)
• Stop beggin' God in your prayers, think about what your saying, your words have power (God spoke, and there was light)!!
• You have been given favor with men.

"Hear me, O LORD, that this people may know that you are God...Then the fire of the LORD fell..."  ~I Kings 18:37-38 As a person with a mission from God, how do you keep composure when there is no one there to support you? Some consider Elijah the greatest prophet of the Old Testament.  At the height of Elijah's courage, he called fire from Heaven and then successfully defeated 450 false prophets by himself. How did he do it? As Elijah prayed alone, I believe the fire inside of Elijah drew down the fire from Heaven.  Elijah then met his enemies with enormous amounts of strength. But then something happened to cause Elijah's fire to go out and run from God's purpose.  Elijah's life began to unravel. How could this have happened?    After the demonstration of God's fire, in I Kings 19, an evil woman named Jezebel threatened Elijah's life. Afraid, Elijah then hid himself in a dark cave.  Let's examine what Elijah went through in that cave that caused his fire to die.  Guard your life against these evil spirits:  Hiding: He got lost in the cave. He wasn't supposed to be there in the first place. Empty: He had no fresh word from God, therefore lacking direction. Exhausted: He didn't take care of himself and became vulnerable to sickness. Depressed: He prayed that he might die, losing his boldness. Paranoid: He imagined everyone was out to kill him, living in oppressive fear. Isolated: He cut himself off from friends and from those that could help. Self-pity: He complained to God of the lack of reward.  Emotions are wonderful servants, but make poor leaders.  If you are experiencing any of these issues, then you are totally out of God's plan for your life.  So when will the fire return to your business, ministry or leadership?  The fire comes...  When we focus on other people's needs even when our own need is great When we publicly face our fears knowing that God has our back When we take our message to the people When we face impossible situations that only God's fire can burn away  Stay passionate for God's purpose for your life. People and resources will always be attracted to the fire within you. The walls "feel" like they have been closing in on me from every angle financially and relationships, I have had no support....everyone wants me to quit pursuing what I feel called to do....been eatin' dry cereal, and been couch-hoppin' but I press on. Kings, we have to fight for our dreams, protect them, and persevere to see them manifest. Peace, V
