To Live Self Controlled



The bible tells us to live self controlled (Titus 2:12)... Do you know how hard it is to be on a diet and control those cravings for food you know you can't have?! Or to be in a non martial relationship and refrain from having sexual intercourse? I knowwwwww yall know! It's hard!!!

You know God could easily make us do what he ask of us, and it'd probably be better..but would we be happy? Most likely not! So he gives us free will to do as we please and he just ask us to not live worldly but godly lives and have self control!

The more we focus our lives on him, the deeper our connection to him, the easier it is to live a life with control through him! Celibacy for me has been the greatest challenge of forming self discipline and self control!
You know we aren't perfect so don't ever beat yourself up about it, because, we are going to fail, but it's ok, to just ask for forgiveness and start over!
**Now that doesn't mean try the Lord! The bible also tells us not to test him! (Luke 4:12)**

I pray we learn to life lives with more self control! That we can say NO to our own fleshly desires and make decisions that are pleasing in the Lord's sight!

Believe in YOU!

Anything you put your mind to you can do! Cast out fear and doubt and just go for it. What is stopping you? Most times its doubt! Get rid of doubt! Believe in yourself! If you have the thought you have the ability! We are designed so incredibly; we can do more than we actually think! That's our problem sometimes we "think" ourselves right out of our greatness! Transform your mind! That takes time so be patient with yourself! Start believing in you TODAY!

Life is a Journey!

Good morning!.. there comes a point in our lives when we look at ourselves and decide to make some improvements! I want to reassure you: "Working on yourself is not selfish"!..and their is no specific time or time frame when God has put it in your heart, mind and soul that it is time for a change! Time to be made over!! Anyone who isn't on board with this, well maybe their time in your life has expired! When God is PUSHING you forward don't allow the enemy to pull you back! Maybe you've realize that you haven't been loving yourself properly, maybe you've been given all your time, attention and efforts towards someone else, and have neglected yourself! Or maybe you are just ready for a change! Whatever your reason is GO FOR IT, not tomorrow but today! I pray whatever God has placed on your heart that you pursue it, and also that he places you at the right place at the right time with the right people! .....you guys!!! We've made it through wee

Society WHO?

Society WHO? “You are the one who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.” –Luke 16:15 NIV What society sees and calls monumental, God sees through as calls monstrous. –Luke 16:15 MSG We tend to care too much on how others view us, what’s popular, what other people are doing, the latest trends, and these so called social media “GOALS” ! Worldly gratifications verses Gods satisfaction in us. We don’t care about pleasing God, we care about pleasing ourselves. We care about fitting in, and looking/acting the part. What the “world” says is it or as some of you say is LIT! Sex, Drugs, Lies, Cursing, Cheats, Thieves, Adultery…etc. Why not, everyone is doing it! It’s thrilling, it feels good, and because I want to. We can say whatever we want, but God knows our hearts! God doesn’t necessarily tell us not to do these things, because he wants to take away self-pleasure from us; he tells us t
