Happy Feelings

What can you think about that will give you happy feelings?  Who makes you smile?  Those are the things you should think about, those and others like them.  The bible tells us to think on things that are good, pure and of a good report, etc. so in other words, think on the things that give you happy feelings.  When you are happy, there is a sense of excitement in everything that you do.  There is drive or a determination to complete tasks at hand.  There is a feeling that makes you believe that you are unstoppable.  You can conquer any obstacle that comes your way when you have happy feelings.  You can hear anything and even see what you don’t particularly want to see, and it will not move you.  It’s important to have happy feelings; therefore it’s crucial that we think on the things that give us those feelings.  There are secrets to living a great life hidden in the word of God, but it’s up to us to read it, if those secrets are to be revealed.  Today, my thoughts are giving me happy feelings, therefore I will accomplish much!  What are you thinking about?

Today is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it! Psalm 118:24

Called

When you think about being called to do something great, what thoughts come to your mind?  Does joy begin to invade your space, what about laughter & excitement; yet, amongst all of that good stuff, does unbelief and fear somehow find its way in?  Fear is subtle and it disguises itself as “what if” and before you know it, you begin asking questions like, “what if no one likes it”, “what if I heard wrong and therefore am doing wrong” and “what if I fail doing it”, etc.?  You can ask yourself questions like that all day long, but why do it?  Why entertain thoughts that only lead to confusion, doubt and procrastination?  Those thoughts are unhealthy and are what I like to call dream killers.  Instead of allowing your dreams to die at the hand of bad thinking, kill your nightmares instead.  What is your nightmare?  Your nightmare is your dreams never becoming reality, and the way you kill it is by answering the “what if” questions the way you should.  When the question is asked, “what if no one likes it”, you answer it with “what if they do”.  When you think to yourself, “what if I heard wrong and am therefore doing wrong, answer that one with, “I heard correctly and I am exactly where I am supposed to be, because my steps are ordered by the Lord!  When you hear the question, “what if I fail”, you answer it with, what if I succeed?  In fact, you get bold and say emphatically, “I will not fail”.  Are you called to do something great?  Did you answer the call with a yes?  If you did, when you perform like you answered no, who does it hurt?  Whom God calls, He qualifies, and a yes from the Lord is greater than any no from man, so be confident in what you were called to do and do it!  Many are called, but few are chosen and those who have been chosen are the ones who have said yes to the call.  What say you?

What do you know?

What do you know and are you sure you know it?  So often one may think he or she knows the truth, but when their mouth opens, the truth is far from their lips.  The bible ask an interesting question in Matthew 7:3, it says, and why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?  The bible is saying the person who does this, doesn’t just do it once and stops, but continues and this is why we see the est on the end of behold and consider.  It’s got to be frustrating being one who lives life pointing their finger and disregarding the fingers that points at them.  It must be, because there can’t be much satisfaction and pleasure in a relationship where one feels justified in disregarding their beam and pointing out the other person’s mote.  What do you know and are you sure you know it?  The funny thing about some people who do this is they point the finger in front of an audience and they apologize when no one is looking.  What do you call people like that?  I know, you don’t, because when you do, you become like they are, and who wants to be like that person, certainly no one who knows the truth about them.  What do you know and are you sure you know it?  The one that comes to share the story first always seems right, until the other person comes and examines their words, proverbs 18:17.  The truth always speaks; however most people are persuaded to believe lies because of the love they have for the person who is telling them.  Life is such a mystery and one thing I know for sure is one will never know everything about another.  Take the good with the bad and learn how to make life work for you and it will work.  Don’t get caught up in the tricks and the treats of the enemy; allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you into all truth.  The truth always speaks, so again I ask, what do you know and are you sure you know it.

Enjoy your weekend.  Be safe, be smart, and make this weekend one that’s worth remembering.  The chosen generation always endures for their promise.  www.kimberlydgraham.com

 

Preparing

Preparation usually comes after a much needed shift in ones thought process.  Most people have heard and even quoted the statement that says, if you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always got.  The above statement is a great example of a mind that refuses to change; and without a shift in the mind, there can be no preparation, and the end result is what we all see on people, frustration.  Change your mind and change your life!  If you never prepare for what you want, you will never have it and if by chance you get it, you won’t keep it, because your thoughts won’t allow it.  A shift in thought can bombard heaven and release bountiful blessings; however the stubborn mind releases more things that will cause frustration, anger and disappointment.  Did you know that rebellion is as witchcraft and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry?  It’s in the bible, I could tell you where it is, but where is the fun in that?  Whatever you prepare for, you will receive!  If you want peace, prepare yourself for it by doing the necessary requirements to achieve it.  Sometimes, being quiet is all that’s required, but it takes giving up what might be your right for what might be another’s wrong.  Peace is worth it and silence is golden!  If you want joy, embrace a new perspective on things and joy will come.  An example of this is the word “NO”, do not accept it as rejection, receive and embrace it as God’s protection, and immediately a smile will come.  Focus your attention on what you want in your life and begin preparing for it.  Preparation usually comes after a much needed shift in the way you think, so think a new thought and enjoy the outcome!

It all works!

We most definitely know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose, Romans 8:28.  If that is you, everything is alright.  What you are going through is a part of the process.  There has to be a pruning period in your journey; for it helps you to better relate to others, and isn’t that a part of ministry?  There has to be a fiery furnace, because it builds your faith.  If God doesn’t deliver you from it, He will make you fireproof and cause you to shine bright like a diamond and come forth as gold.  There has to be times when you don’t understand what’s going on and why it’s happening, because it causes you to trust God.  You won’t know everything, but if you can believe that it will all work out for your good, you might stress less.  Stress is no friend of yours nor is it a friend of mine, it’s our enemy; yet it comes to deliver a powerful message, which is, we are not trusting God.  Our body talks and sooner or later we will begin to listen.  Don’t worry about another thing; life is too precious to live that way.  God’s got you, and it will all work out for your good.

This day and this moment I ask God to bless you immensely and do in your life what you need Him most to do and as He does whatever He does, you, my friend, do what you need to do.  It’s a relationship and only those that are reciprocated in one way or another prosper.   Have a great day!

Getting Settled

Have you ever had so much going on that it was hard to focus?  Have you ever got to a point where you were finally focused, breathing easy and before you could celebrate, something else happened to shake you up?  It can be a never ending cycle until you make the decision to get settled.  No, is not a bad word and only God is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent.  He can handle everything that comes up and because He can, you should allow Him to and stay in your lane.  God loves you!  He has the answers to your questions and the solutions for your concerns, so talk to Him.  Let Him know what’s really going on with you, and don’t be afraid to speak your truth.  If you are frustrated, let Him know and if you are happy, let Him know.  He cares for you and nothing you can say, absolutely nothing will shock Him.  He knows your truth anyway and when you get to a place where you can speak it, it will only show growth in your relationship with the Lord.  Settle down my friend and do what you can do and allow God to do the rest.  If He does what you ask Him to do, good and if He doesn’t that only means He will do something better.  Trust God!  Release all of your anxiety and breathe.

Have a great day.  No Kim’s Couch Live tonight, thanks for understanding and thanks for your support!

Yes & Amen Manifestation

Today is a good day to expect a yes and amen manifestation.  The bible tells us that all of the promises of God in Him are yea (yes) and in Him, amen, 2 Corinthians 1:20.  It’s already a good day so far today and every moment after this one will only get better.  This is what I choose to believe and in doing so, I expect something great to happen for me.  I expect a yes and amen manifestation!  Not only do I expect this for me, I praise God in advance for yours too, because it’s coming if you still believe for it.  Believing is the key to receiving what you want.  In Mark 9:23, Jesus said if you can believe, all things are possible to you and all means all, so what do you believe?  Do you believe you are healed?  Do you believe you are blessed?  Do you believe great things are waiting for you?  Our lives are meant to be spectacular.  God created and hand-picked us to be here during this time to make such a positive impact, but if we can’t believe, it will never happen.  Make your mind believe what your heart yearns for and once you do, your mouth will open and begin speaking of it.  Today is my day to receive a yes and amen manifestation!

Don’t Fight

There is a process that we all must go through to get to where we all desire to be, don’t fight your process.  Every yes isn’t worth hearing and every no isn’t worth crying over; think about that for a moment and give God praise!  Your journey should not be full of regrets; on the contrary, it should be full of exciting stories to tell to those who need to hear them.  Your best is yet to come, because your latter will be greater.  Where you are right now, the things that are happening to you and the emotions you are feeling are all a part of your process; so as much as you can, embrace it.  Embrace when things don’t go your way and embrace when they do.  Embrace when you understand and embrace when understanding is far from you.  Embrace those who love you and thank God for those who don’t.  All fights are not worth fighting, especially those that pertain to your process.  Let go and let God be God in your life.  There are some things that you are not supposed to handle.  You may have the answer to the question and the solution to the problem, and it still not be your responsibility to give.  That too is a part of your process, don’t fight it; embrace it.  We all have our own cross to bear; yours will not be like mine and mine will not be like anyone else’s, because we are all unique.  Don’t fight your process!  Cry if you must at some points in your process, yell, scream and even shout, but don’t fight it; go through it and get to the good part of your life.  Your latter will most definitely be better, because the chosen generation always endures for their promise!

God bless you!  Make this weekend one to remember and pick up your copies of The Chosen Generation & Enduring for the Promise, books written by me and worth reading!  www.kimberlydgraham.com

 

 

Staying in my lane

As I drive on the highway of life, I am learning to pay attention to the road signs, properly read road maps, and watch out for pedestrians and definitely the other drivers.  I recall studying to receive my permit, practicing driving with different instructors and finally getting my license.  It was an exciting moment for me until I realized, everyone doesn’t drive the same.  Some people drive aggressively, some passively, and others just go with the flow.  It’s scary out there some times, because you just don’t know what other drivers will be on the road when you get there.  Not only do you not know who will be on the road, at times those very drivers will send you mixed signals.  They signal you to go when they really want you to stay, or they say you can pass, only to speed up their car, until you finally ask yourself, what’s really going on in the mind of those behind the wheel?  I recall a time or two or three when I thought it was clear to move to another lane.  I checked my mirror, looked over my shoulder and even put on my blinkers yet when I began moving over, I was quickly corrected by the loud horn that sounded from the other driver, thus came something I often say, “Kim, stay in your lane”.  Driving is no easy task, but paying attention to the road signs, properly reading the road map and watching out for pedestrians and other drivers makes it a comfortable drive.  If you think I am talking about driving an actual car, you missed it.  Life is a journey!  You never know what obstacle will be thrown your way to get you off track so keep your eyes open.

I emptied myself

Today is such a God day for me; a day full of promise. This morning, I woke up invoked in my spirit to empty myself. The beseeched started in my spirit, went to my mind and then to my heart and before I knew it, I began doing it. I emptied myself of the disappointment I felt that had been lingering. I emptied myself of the sadness and of course the anger that came from betrayals. I emptied myself of the confusion and stopped asking myself why, because the truth is, God allowed it all and when God is in it, it is all good! I emptied myself of the feelings attached to being used, abused and totally mistreated. I emptied myself of the grudges I held on to, and although I felt justified in so many ways, God said it’s time to let it go and so I did. I emptied myself of the strongholds and every thought that exalted itself against the knowledge of my God. This morning, I let it all go, for real this time and because I did, I feel so much lighter. I had my moments with those feeling and did what I needed to do, so now it’s time to let them all go and take back the power and control that has been given to me. I emptied myself today you guys but I didn’t leave myself empty. I filled myself back up but with everything God gave me. This morning, I have joy, I have peace, I have been laughing like you would not believe, I have forgiveness and I have love. I have everything I need and will ever need because I emptied myself and filled me right back up. God is not a respecter of persons, empty yourself and live your life; God bless you!
