LIVING IN THE MOMENT

In a culture today full of business meetings and chaotic schedules life has became busy! Often we find ourself doing whatever we have to do to do what is next. Rarely is it seen now that what we are doing now is the most important thing but rather what is next. I feel God is calling to a generation of people to step back into the moment!
“Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:33-34‬ ‭NLT‬‬
Just this past summer this passage held dearly to my heart. In all things I did I would continue to come back in reference to Matthew 6:33-34. It has became so easy for us as a generation to focus and dwell on things that are unknown and strive to achieve what needs to be accomplished. Although there is a need to be diligent with our time and make sure we are being effective, most of us have seemed to lose track of stewarding the current moment.
If you have spent much time with me you will often here me say that this moment right now is the most important moment of your life. Whatever it is that your doing this is the true moment where authority and power has been given to us from our king. It’s in this moment we can change the world. It’s in this moment God is wanting to co labor with us. It’s in this moment that we can move beyond a casual conversation to a conversation that is beyond intentional, fully in tuned to what is being transferred.
Co labor
When we step into a moment and be fully present we move into a moment of opportunity to co labor with the Holy Spirit. Now I’m not saying that the Holy Spirit is not at work always but what I am saying is that when we move into a moment focused on lord what are you doing, we step into a moment where it no long becomes just about our immediate reach but his immediate reach! I believe it’s in these moments of seeking the kingdom first that the lord often moves us from casual encounter to radical encounter.
In the week ahead I would just like to encourage everyone to be intentional with our time. Let’s change our mindset and lifestyle from what’s next to what’s now! I believe as we grow more in-tune to what the lord is doing now and focus less on what could happen to what is happening we move our mindset from fear to hope. It’s in this hope that we have such a blessing!!
Grace be with you!
Elijah

SAINTS OR SINNERS?

Image
Good morning everyone, I hope y’all had an amazing weekend and are doing well recovering from losing an hour sleep. As most of you know over the past couple weeks we have been on an identity journey. We started of with 5 attributes to walking in our God given identity , went into being made on Gods image , talk about being adopted as sons and daughters and this week we are going to be talking about being saints. Before I ever had the revelation of what I am about to share I would see things that stirred me wrong. When I seen messages like “I’m just a sinner” my spirit would always feel off. I truly believe this message is one of the most important ones that needs to be shared with the body and once again it all flows out of a relationship with our creator. So the question is are we still sinners or are we saints? If we consider ourself still sinners doesn’t that directly contradict everything Jesus did at the cross? “Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neith...

5 ATTRIBUTES TO WALKING IN OUR GOD GIVEN IDENTITY

Image
A couple weeks ago I shared a couple messages about living in the moment and stewarding that moment. In one of the messages I mentioned how knowing our identity helps us know how to steward the season that we are in and every season to come. Over the next couple weeks we will be diving into our identity. With the main question being answered, Who has God made me to be? Who am I in God? Who is God?(yea that’s a big one but how we view God directly ties into who we are and how we act) I’m a firm believer when we know who God has made us to be we flourish beyond any expectation we could ever have for our life. Sometimes it’s just not easy these days to know who we are. To often we let society, media, teachers, and friends tell us who we are. Often through our external influences we become the person we portray but do so without ever taking the time and asking God who we really are. It’s time as a group of believers we all ask the lord who he has made us to be. The mass of society...

SONS & DAUGHTERS

Image
Over the past couple weeks we have been talking about  5 attributes to walking in our God given identity , last week we dove into us being  Made in God's Image  and this week we are going to talk a bit on being Sons and Daughters of God. “But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.” ‭‭John‬ ‭1:12-13‬ ‭NLT When one is born again after accepting Jesus Christ as there lord and savior they are at that moment adopted by God the Father. Being apart of a royal family and having full access to all the treasures of heaven leads us to living a full life and gives us revelation that God truly is a Good father. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. N...
