Let not your current circumstance, needs or difficulties persuade you to let go of promises that you are certain the Lord has made to you. Be audacious!

It is imperative that you learn to hear from God as He still speaks to His kids in this generation. It is further imperative that you are confident in your relationship with the Lord and respect yourself to trust that you are capable of hearing from God.

There is a trend I notice among believers, that they think believing means "maybe". It will often be said, "'maybe' God spoke to me." We are imperfect for sure, but with the Holy Spirit, we are able to communicate with the Lord! Just don't be frivolous with "God told me," make sure it was God who spoke to you, but trust God speaks to "you."

I love Abraham in Genesis 24 where he took his stance. When the servant asked, should I take Isaac back to your father's land; Abraham was adamant that Isaac stays in the promised land and not go to where God called Abraham from.

Abraham did not abandon the promise. He believes God spoke and was holding God accountable to deliver.

Do as Abraham did below in Genesis 24:1-8, don't deviate from the promise due to your present circumstances and needs.

Abraham...said to the senior servant in his household...“ go to my country and my own relatives and get a wife for my son Isaac.” The servant asked him, “What if the woman is unwilling to come back with me to this land? Shall I then take your son back to the country you came from?” “Make sure that you do not take my son back there...The Lord, the God of heaven, who brought me out of my father’s household and my native land and who spoke to me and promised me on oath, saying, ‘To your offspring I will give this land’—he will send His angel before you so that you can get a wife for my son from there. If the woman is unwilling to come back with you, then you will be released from this oath of mine. Only do not take my son back there.”

Let it be said of you, that you have the audacity to believe that God should deliver on His promises to you. Abraham had the audacity to believe God and expected delivery of the promises from God.

Don't allow people's ideas, expectations and opinions be your identities.

YOU must know who you are, regardless of who you are dealing with and where you are. God/Jesus is the person to help you know your identity and it must be founded on Him.

This is not to be confused with not getting counsel or learning from others.

You must know what you want, like, will accept or not accept; not wavery about it (that includes, the kind of spouse or job you desire to have).

Remember most people are not objective but subjective. Meaning they portray what would work for them on you and YOU CAN'T ever allow that to happen. Only God has that right.

The inventor is an inventor of anything invented only because others could not do or see what s/he saw (the vision).

Just because people can't see or imagine what you see, doesn't mean you are on the wrong track.

A leader is one of the few. The leader's vision will not seem normal.

Advice: Look to God for your identity and purpose and stick to what He shows you. Don't move with every wind.

There is nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:9. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man...1 Cor. 10:13

Life will not adjust to our thinking or expectation. We have to adjust to life.

"I have told you these things, so that in Me (Jesus) you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33.

People are born to trouble as readily as sparks fly up from a fire. Job 5:7

God knew the issues you would face in this life when He deposited you in. The goal was not so you would live a life free of trouble, but a life that overcomes all issues presented in life.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? ...

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:35-39

We are hard-pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 2 Cor. 4:8-10

Does God hide His face? We see multiple times in the Bible, God’s people brings to attentionsGod’s face being hidden. For Example David said in Psalm 13:1 “How long, O Lord? Will you forget me former? How long will You hide Your face from me?”
