Many times we go to church expecting to be entertained instead of going with an expectation of God doing something in our life like convicting us of sin or reminding us of things that need to change.

The motto of the world today is “What is in it for me?” or “What can you do for me?”

God wants you to prepare your heart for worship before you ever enter the doors of the church. If the songs are biblically sound, don’t think so much about the style as what the words say. When you start to truly worship Him, the style of music will fade into the background where it should be anyway.

Don’t let Satan trick you into falling for the lie that you can’t worship God unless you are singing a certain style of music. God can get through to your heart with any style as long as there is TRUTH in the words.

Make the choice that you will prepare your heart to truly worship God the next time you go to church, and don’t allow yourself to concentrate on any other thing.

Many Christians feel that tithing a tenth of their income is optional depending on whether they have extra after all the bills are paid.

According to the Bible, that is not what God intended at all. He wants His Children to put Him first in every aspect of their lives, including giving the tithe money to Him first before any bills have been paid. God already knows how He is going to provide, but He wants us to trust Him to do it in the way He sees fit.

Malachi 3: 10

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Trust, try and prove God to see what He will do in your life. Make the choice to put Him first in your finances by paying the tithe first thing and then proceed to the other bills. I don’t know how He does it, but when you put Him first He then has the liberty to work on your behalf and truly “open the windows of Heaven” to handle whatever problem arises.

You must realize that God handles things completely different from the way the world does. You must put your trust in God FIRST without always seeing how things will turn out in the end.

God created the entire world and everything in it in 6 days, so He is certainly capable of handling anything that might come your way. Make the choice right now to trust Him and don’t turn back.

Make sure you give God what is rightfully His and learn to trust Him no matter what might come your way, knowing He is fully capable of handling it.

Isn’t this how we view our problems many times?  We become so focused on the long climb that we forget to enjoy and live each day to the fullest. When you have problems, it is easy to look at them as a worst-case scenario instead of giving God control and letting Him work everything out.

Don’t ever let Satan tell you that your problems are too big for God to handle. You just have to make the choice to give them to Him and let Him work everything out the way He sees fit.

You might think you can run away from what God wants you to do for awhile, but in the end you will wish you hadn’t. Most of us tend to think that our way is much better or that we will be more fulfilled going in a different direction than the one God has given us.

God thinks in terms of “very best” for what He wants to accomplish with your life. You will never feel more fulfilled than when you are exactly in the center of His Will. So why fight Him at all when He tells you what to do. I have learned from personal experience that He can change your whole attitude about what you are to do when you just surrender your own plans and let Him take the lead.

In fact, the thing you thought you didn’t want to do will become something that you couldn’t imagine yourself not doing and you are so proud that you didn’t miss the opportunity.

If you know God is telling you to do something, don’t fight Him any longer. Step out on faith and find out how awesome He is and how great it feels to go to sleep each night knowing that what you accomplished for the day was totally in the center of His Will and was pleasing to Him.

1. A Cartoon – Too Much Finger Pointing!

Have you ever had a feeling you should not do a particular thing even though it looked like it might be an awesome opportunity?

If you are a Christian, the Holy Spirit lives inside you and wants to give you guidance each day. You can never depend on feelings alone to help you make right decisions for your life.

The Holy Spirit can warn you of traps Satan has planted to steer you off course. Like the picture above some things are labeled correctly and boldly, and others are very discreet and often you may not know you have walked into a trap until it is too late.

Sometimes others even try to warn us we are going down the wrong path, but we fail to listen.

Before you start your day, ask the Holy Spirit to make you sensitive to hear His Voice so that you can avoid the pitfalls Satan would try to use to bring you down.

If you have grave doubts about a situation, pray hard about what to do. It may be that you are just supposed to walk away, no matter how good it looks. the Holy Spirit is very good at quickening your spirit to perceive that something is wrong, but you must listen to Him. It must grieve the heart of God because so many of us feel that we shouldn’t do a particular thing, but go ahead and do it anyway and many times have to pay a heavy price.

Don’t open a door that will allow Satan to have any entrance at all into your life.

How true is this!!!

Satan will always be too happy to take you back so he can do everything possible to destroy you and your family.

Don’t just TRY Jesus, though, cling to Him and let Him change your life for the better. If you give control of your life to Him you won’t desire to go back to where you used to be. He can handle every problem, but you must give them all to Him to let Him take care of in His own time.

Read the Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to give you understanding and wisdom. God truly desires for you to walk in victory over the enemy Satan.
