Learning now that simply praying about a problem or a situation is not enough. God has placed his power in his children to do what is necessary here on earth. Romans 8:19 says "For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God." Meaning that all of creation is waiting for the sons of God to take their rightful place. Waiting for us as the sons of God to stand up to the attacks on our lives. Waiting for us to start addressing what is going on in our lives. Its your prayer, yes. Its your faith, yes! But its also what's coming out of your mouth. You have to pray about something. Believe what you pray and then speak what you want to see. When the ruler of the synagogue (Jairus) daughter got sick, he went to find Jesus. Before Jesus could get to his house to heal the girl, she died. A man came from Jairus household to tell him that (your daughter is dead, trouble not the master). BEFORE he could say anything, Jesus cut him off: "But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole." He didn't allow Jairus to speak against what he was about to do. He didn't give him a chance to speak death to miracle that he was about perform. We speak life or death to what we are and do. Proverbs 18:21 says: "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." We speak life to ourselves or we speak death to ourselves. Right now we are living the very fruit that we have been speaking. Yes, I know, this revelation is for me specifically. Yes, I know this is to warn me about what's been coming out of MY mouth. but I just thought I'd share what I'm learning. Whatever it is we are facing, pray. Believe. and SPEAK! Living this dream!

Know this. Every time you try to do something positive, the devil will try to knock you off of that. He wants you to fail. You just stay strong to do what you've been doing. Its okay to cry when it hurts. That doesn't mean that you're weak. You cry if you have to, but you keep going. God rewards the faithful. You stay faithful and keep fighting. Tears in your eyes if you have to, but you keep fighting. You stand on the word that is in you and you keep fighting. You fight because you know in the first place - you've won. God has given you the victory. God will grant you favor even with your enemies, but you have to stay in the fight. Don't take your eyes off the word of God, the presence of God, the peace of God. Keep fighting. At the end of the day... the Victory is the Lord's... the victory is YOURS! Livin' this Dream!

1Cor3:18 "Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise." Don't let anyone try to tell you that you're not qualified to do what you are "doing" because you don't have the experience or education to do it. A lot of musicians run into that because they don't have the "papers" behind their abilities - yet they are doing things NOBODY else has thought of. I'm not saying don't learn your craft, I'm saying hear from God... he's the creator of ALL - let him create something NEW in you. And YOU may not even understand what YOU are doing, but that's where relying on God will take you. To places unknown.
