Don't Force Me

Don’t Force Me

God Morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this TJIF Thank Jesus Its Friday April 9, 2010. Don’t give authority or responsibility to someone who doesn’t want it, because in the end you will only be disappointed. Even though they are capable don’t entrust them with such tasks. Due to the lack of passion for that role the outcome will be lack luster and not thorough. And vise versa, Don’t let any one give you authority or responsibility that you are not ready for or have no desire to do. Example, So quit trying to force your husbands to do that project you KNOW he doesn’t want to do. Quit trying to get wife to go along with your plan that you KNOW she doesn’t believe in. When a person has these types of reserves, big or small, we need to back off and put God in charge of that responsibility. Guess what, If He’s in charge what will happen, is what needs to happen. God may soften your husbands heart to do the project that you so desire or He may bring revelation of your idea unto your wife that will ignite her enthusiasm that she didn’t even realize she had. SO lets stop forcing individuals into a corner to do our bidding, but bring God to the forefront and let Him put everything in order. Please read Judges 8:22-23 (KJV)

Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also: for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian. And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the Lord shall rule over you.

Blind Faith

Blind Faith

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell on this Thursday April 8, 2010. Have you ever felt that you were blind to God’s will and plan for your life? To you, you can’t tell if you are on the road of destiny or destruction, but you just stand there on that road begging to those who pass by to answers what this life holds for you. The longer we are in this state the more discouraged, frustrated, self-destructing, and even suicidal we become. Then in our despair, a glimmer of hope passes by. You ask your friends and family what was that that just passed by, but all they tell you is something negative and discouraging; the exact opposite of what you felt. They tell you what the people of the world’s standard of comprehension of what is possible in life and then tries to force-feed it to you, because you trust their advice. Don’t get caught in the quicksand of circumstance that all of your friends are in and have been since you’ve known them. Don’t let THEIR limit of faith dictate your outcome. Hold fast to your faith. Let the faith in that glimmer of God that passed you give you a newly restored radical faith that will force Jesus to notice your plight. Know what you want from Him and remind Him of His promise to you, because if you didn’t do this while on the road toward those promises, that’s why your sight became hazy then blinding. But due to your faith you will be able to see immediately his will in all of its perfection. After this, those same individuals with the limited views of faith will stand in aw of what Jesus has done in your life and will hopefully be moved to grow further in Him and not becoming jealous of you alls relationship. Please read Luke 18:35-43 KJV

And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging: And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

Obtaining Balance

Obtaining Balance

Hello again! I’m Sonya Waddell and I bring you greetings. I think achieving balance in our lives is key in this time and era. Balance is the key to life. Picture a weight scale for me with both sides on the scale evenly proportioned. In order to have balance we must set our priorities in order. What is priority in your life? Is God a priority? Before you leave your home for work do you have intimate fellowship with God? Have you thanked him, prayed, and worshipped him. Are you studying the Bible which is a road map for our lives. Or are you to busy? I personally don’t even feel right if I leave the house and haven’t spent quality time with him. Spending time with God before your day begins sets the tone for your day. So now that we have talked about our spiritual priority let’s move on.

I want you to ask yourself some questions because as women we sometimes say “yes” to often and to soon. We are nurturers by nature and we want to help everybody. My motto is, “If helping you hurts me then I can’t help you.” And I don’t feel guilty about it either. So do you find yourself regretful a lot because you said you would do this or that for someone? If so, check your priorities. The 2nd priority should be you, yes you. Are you rested? The bible says, “Come unto me those that are weary and heavy ladened and I will give you rest.” Sometimes you made need to take a powernap which will restore your soul. How is your health? Are you working out like you said you were going to? Are you eating properly drinking enough water? Taking “me time”? Are you walking in your purpose or taking the steps to fulfill your purpose? You know the saying if mama ain’t happy then nobody is happy. You must take care of yourself ladies. If you are married your 3rd priority is to your husband and making sure his needs are met. I’m nor just talking about sexual needs but quality time, etc. And if you have kids then they are next, other family members are 4th. God has an order and sometimes as women because we are so busy we forget the order.

Okay so now that we are clear on order, How do we really obtain balance? First make sure that you are not giving too much attention in one area, tipping the scale and ignoring or neglecting the other areas. Make a “to do list” and schedule what day you will accomplish the task. Please set realistic goals. Another important point I want to make is, if you are going to obtain balance in your life they are going to be some things or people you will either have to give less time to or things or people you will need to cut off. Now I’m not talking about a spouse or kids. But some people will drain you and if they are not doing anything with their life they will want you to ride on the train with them. If you are working on a certain task and the phone rings ignore it and set a time to return calls, check e-mail, etc. We lose balance when we give too much attention to things and people that are not connected to our purpose. The only time I get on Facebook is when someone sends me a message. When you are busy working on what God has called you to do you will find yourself talking on the phone less, textingless, IMing less, Facebooking less, My spacing less, etc. Listen to all of that I called out. The devil’s tactic is to get us distracted so we will lose our focus. Stay focused. Facebook, You tube, etc, has nothing to do with my purpose but it gives me a break and allows me a short period of time to connect with people. But I will not be on there for an hour or hours at a time. So if that is a necessity to you schedule that also on your “to do list” and the time allotted for that task. Remember no area in your life should have all of your time, balance the scale, and always keep God first. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. I have to go but I hope that helps. Please read Matthew 6:33 and Matthew 11:28 KJV.

Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you

Come unto me those that are weary and heavy ladened and I will give you rest.

In Motion

In Motion

God Morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Tuesday April 6, 2010. Well folks today I would like for you all to look at yourselves and honestly ask, am I in “Motion” and what kind of motion is it. Now motion is defined as the act of moving, but I want you to look at it in a different way. In your current state there are all types of “Motions” you can be in while in the act of moving. For instance, are you “Emotional”, constantly moving form one feeling to another, never being stable, and constantly making irrational decisions off of how you feel? Are you causing a “Commotion” in your current environment; always into trouble or drama is always swarming around you. Or is that you are in “Demotion”; you sit there helpless as everything is moving out of your possession to some elses like the loss of your job, your marriage, or your home. Now you may be going through all of these “Motions”, but I would like to remind you of the best “Motion”. The type of motion that only God can truly put you in and that is “Promotion”. He will take from your current state as you are and move you to the next lever by the integrity of your heart and the skillfulness of your hands. That promotion you want comes from your dudillegence and steadfast in the faith in God. So don’t get discouraged about all those other "Motions" that blur your vision just make sure you stay focused on the greatest motion Promotion, because out of all of them we know that one is truly from Him. Please read Psalms 78:70-72

He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Isreal his inheritance. So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.

Loose in the Earth

Loose in the Earth

God Morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Monday April 5, 2010. I hope everyone had a Happy Easter and didn’t get into it with any CME folks. You know those individuals that only go to church on Christmas, Mother’s Day, and Easter. Anywho, in our day-to-day actions everything is being accounted for and accumulated. Every positive and negative thing we loose in the earth is also loosed in Heaven. What are you loosing from within? Are you loosing good deeds, love, and God’s word, or are you loosing negativity, slothfulness, and anger. How you are and how you act matters now. Don’t wait until you come to the later of your days before you loose good things. Loose them now. I can only imagine what it would be like on Judgment Day and the Lord takes you to the room where our life’s loosing are. Then He turns to you and says “Look, here are your works on the earth.” Will we be terrified by a horrid site or overjoyed with peace. From there would be the proof of your judgment. This is what I can only imagine. So from here on out saints please speak good tidings, God filled words, and bleed on the earth a joyous heart with the love pent up in your bosom. Please read Matthew 16:19

And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Action, Response, Action

Action, Response, Action

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this TJIF; Thank Jesus Its Friday April 2, 2010. Happy Good Friday and Easter to everyone. Today I just want to talk briefly to you about what the Lord has done for us. I’m sure you have all ready know the story that He died and has rose on the third day with all power. That same power is just as awesome now as it was back then. And I don’t know if you know it or not, but Jesus designed it so we can tap into that power too. I’m going to share it with you. IN order for us to do this we must do three things. The first thing is we must perform an action. His power is contingent on us. IF we never act on the things that we desire nothing will never come. If we never step out on faith, ask Him, or move in obedience His power cant be activated. The thing we wanted will just sit in our faces with a million and one obstacles in front of it. Now most people can easily do the first part, but some people stumble when it comes to the second part. The second thing is that it has to go through Him. Through Him all things are possible. Your action was to get you up moving and everything that is going through Him is the response to the action. Meaning if it is going through Him it’s anointed to be opened up to you. Now here is where a huge percentage of people get lost, overwhelmed, and stopped. They forget that they have to perform the first step again to complete their desire. They have to perform on action again after He has answered the call. After that door was open now we have to walk through it and not be satisfied just that the He opened it. Lets quit standing in porch of our destinies and desires and walk in it. Please read Matthew 7:7-8

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

April Fools

April Fools

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Thursday April 1, 2010. Today is April FOOLS day and I would like to specifically point out a lot of people how have foolish thinking. Now I’m not calling you’ll a fool, I’m just saying some of you all are a little foolish. Anywho, I know everyone has heard the statement “Don’t use the Lord’s name in Vain” before. They are basically saying don’t call on Him if you don’t need Him and don’t perverse His name. Now what I mean by perverse is like saying you are manipulating peoples heart by using His name for your own personal gain. Or when a person knowingly lying and says “I swear to God.” Just defiling His name just to get over on someone. Those who do this hold nothing sacred. This is totally unacceptable. Then over the years the terminology of the curse “____ Dammit” has become acceptable by society. What is going on? Every time I hear someone say it, it just rubs me the wrong way. Now that curse has even evolved into changing “God” to “Got” so that person can still use that curse and have the excuse of “ I’m not saying God… so I can use it.” NO you can’t. Just because you replace His name with another word the context and meaning still stands, thus you still used His name in vain while cursing God. Some of you or may not may remember this, but it’s just like back in the day as a kid you used to try and say “Dang” in front of your grandparents and they almost flipped. You caught a backhand to the mouth so quick it was ridiculous. Even though you switched “Dang” with “Damn” they were the same thing and you were still punished. So you had to remove it from your vocabulary altogether. The same goes for this. SO lest stop being April fools and Yearly fools for that matter, and use the Lord’s name properly; so it’s power will be appropriately distributed. Please read Leviticus 19:12 and Exodus 20:7 KJV

And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
