Day 1: Faith Still learning this one

Day 1: Faith

Principle 1; Most people never become who they want to be because they settle for who they currently are.


One of the biggest enemies of commitment is complacency. One of the biggest enemies of commitment is convenience. When convenience and complacency link arms and team up against your commitment, it will not be long before commitment is long forgotten, dying away as some nice after thought.

Whatever you do, DO NOT GIVE GROUND TO THEM. Stand fast. God himself has a bigger plan for you, and that plan does not mean some wishy washy, faithless, spineless, couch potato who only looks for the next and latest fad and then blames his/her failures on other peoples shortfalls. Your body is HIS temple. yea yea, I know..."Trey, I want to have the most room possible for the Holy Spirit to grow and move and operate." This is a LIE from the Devil. Even though people who say it jokingly most likely would say they do not mean it, there is a little bit of truth in every joke we tell. DO NOT BUY IN.

Who was it that God told you long ago that He wanted you  to be? I am sure it was not middle aged, obese, and broke? If so, are you sure you were NOT hearing from God.

Did you know that God's Word says in 2 Corinthians 4:10-11 "7But we have this treasure in(T) jars of clay,(U) to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8We are(V) afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9persecuted, but(W) not forsaken;(X) struck down, but not destroyed; 10(Y) always carrying in the body the death of Jesus,(Z) so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. 11For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12So(AA) death is at work in us, but life in you."


Did you see it? did you see where complacency and convenience team up? Complacency and convenience are two resultant spirits at war with our Spirit, afflicting, perplexing, persecuting, and striking us down...smashing our dreams, lulling us to sleep on what God has for us...but WE MUST PUT THOSE THINGS TO DEATH, so LIFE can be at work in us. Do not continue to settle friends, have the faith to get you to your goals in EVERY aspect of your life. 


If it is fullness you seek, then it is time to start emptying out some of that old you so the new you has room to grow. Start with complacency and convenience, Challenge yourself to stay committed, in every area of your life. And. Watch. What. Happens.
