Healing Starts With a Choice The question Jesus asked the impotent man was "Wilt thou be made whole? (John 5:6)." Your decision activates the response. The common mistake we make as believers is to assume that we can't move unless God moves.  The battle may not be ours but the choice is!! God is waiting for you to move first in your mind. In Joshua 24:15 the statement is CHOOSE for yourselves today whom you will serve. Ambivalence can not draw near to Christ. When I was 15 the pastor asked me if I would accept Christ as my personal savior. That choice changed my life forever. What makes my life remarkable however are the choices I make daily. The story of the impotent man by the pool shows us some important facts about choices. Lets look at them; 1) choices propel change. Before God could command the man to pick up his bed and walk the choice had to be made. 2) Acceptance can  be a hindrance to choices. If that man accepted his condition with no desire to change he ...

The Ambivalent Mind Destroyed!                                                                  The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines ambivalence as simultaneous and contradictory attitudes or feelings toward an object, person, or action. Other connotations for that word are also fluctuation and uncertainty. In my profession ambivalence is often a sign of internal conflict. It is a battle that occurs in the mind that can affect all areas of an individual's life. It really boils down to not being able to make decisions. For most of us we are able to make informed decisions every day. At times we even make decisions on impulse, but we exercise the ability to make decisions. Even as a professional you can easily fall into being trapped by the quandary of an ambivalent person. I like to examine what the bible has to say abou...

THE MINDSET OF AN HEIR PART 2:  DO YOU KNOW THE SIZE OF YOUR INHERITANCE?  Mindset recovery and Discovery  One of the things that amaze me is our fear to ask big things of our big God. Truthfully speaking I have been guilty of this many times. Whether it's due to a lack of trust, guilt, or understanding we fail to see that God will meet us where we are. If we are minimalist in our prayers and asking we will get less than minimal answers and solutions. The prodigal son may have been guilty of a lot of things but he knew to ask his father for his portion. He knew the size of his portion and that he had a right to it. Although he used it poorly and selfishly he knew well enough to know what he was inheriting (Luke 15:11-32) . Let me ask you, are you asking according to the size of your God or the size of your vision? We think small but God plans big!!!! While you are asking for another apartment to rent or lease God is planning for your dream home. While you are ...

21 DAYS TO MINDSET RECOVERY & DISCOVERY DAY 1 THE MINDSET OF AN HEIR Part 1 Are you secure with your royal bloodline? I can tell you how you perceive yourself dictates what you believe you can aspire? Coming to America is one of my favorite movies.  For those of us who have watched it, do you recall how ridiculous Eddie Murphy( Prince Akeem) and Arsenio hall (Semmi) looked when they first arrived in Queens. They looked over the top and completely out of the ordinary compared to their environment. In their motherland Zamunda they were seen as royalty and were looked upon as esteemed. Akeem was to be the heir to the throne.  As Christians we are heirs to the kingdom of God! People who are not used to seeing royalty will think we are over the top and  out of place. Remember the bible tells us in 1 Peter 1:4 "to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you". When we see ourselves in that context we can aspire to do an...
