You Better Work...

What do you want? Health, wealth, relationships, etc? Well whatever you want you better work it! However let’s begin with a paradigm shift with the “how to” work it... 🤔

I mean the life you believe for. The life you think about. The life that manifests will be the one you meditate on or rehearse. Work your faith! They go hand in hand. Since we know that faith without works is dead then faith with works is LIFE!!! Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life! So faith with works is JESUS!!!

SO....

Again what do you want? What are your desires or petitions? Have you written them down? Do it ✍️ . Forget the hinderances or adverse reasons. But wait, let’s address and confront adversities. What are they? Can you list them? In my kindest voice, I want to give you a rebuttal to use. Ready to hear it? Ok...SO!

Yep that was it! That is how we confront adversity. With this 2 letter word: So! ...As meaning an exclamation of indifference! Yes I said it! Indifference. Because there is a greater SO... The one in John 3:16 that says God SO, meaning very greatly, loved the world that He gave the world Christ!!!

That list of adversities, we’re going call them the So What list.🤷🏽‍♀️Because they don’t stand a chance when we mix faith with works. But before you run off to “work“... invite Jesus in.

For He said, “I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.”

‭‭John‬ ‭9:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬.

Let Jesus work your faith; He is the author and finisher of our faith. Jesus is the one who works. Can you agree with that? Like really, let’s let Jesus do what we believe... Stop working* like Martha and learn to sit at His feet and hang on His every Word like Mary! We are told and I remind you...

1. to labor to enter into His rest. Heb 4:11

2. walk by faith and not by sight.

3. ask and it shall be given

4. seek and ye shall find

5. knock and the door shall be opened Matthew 7:7

6. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5,6

7. Commit your works unto the Lord and your thoughts will be established. Proverbs 16:3

8. Write the vision and make it plain! Hab 2:2

9. Delight thyself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart Psalm 37:4

10. If any man lack wisdom, ask God who gives to all men liberally. James 1:5
    

SOW

You reap what you Sow. Sooooo, as in “in the way or manner indicated, described, or implied”, SOW your faith.

Give God the belief required in John 3:16 because the requirement does not come for a somebody or nobody 🙄 but for a whoSOever and that is anybody that believes.

Psalm 126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

I have a friend who was always early to work to the point that she was teased by her coworkers for doing such. They longed to see her show up late and one day she did. Oh they began going in on her tardiness, but their taunts were silenced when she said, “SO, I bet your momma didn’t die last night”. Hers did and she showed up late but made it to work. SELAH

When the So Whats show up, silence them by SOWING your faith. Go read your List of Requests & Desires (lord) you made known to God and Sow gratitude back to Him and get your peace back. Give your lord to the LORD.

This man said SO!

His name is Nick Vujicic. He types, brushes his teeth, is a husband, father, motivational speaker, and avid swimmer! With no arms and legs, he has constructed a life of joy and peace and does SO as he pleases. GET UP! SO can you! Greater is He that is with you than he that is within the world.

I will leave you with these words...

“But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.”

‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3:3‬ ‭NLT‬‬
