Real Ministry with VeeVeca- Who are you... in trouble?

Exhortation: Who are you, in trouble?

Scripture in view: We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; [2 Cor 4:8]

Trouble times like a frisbee zooms right in on you. Without thinking, you fling it away. Out of site. Out of mind. Then from out of nowhere, it comes right back to you. This time it gets your attention in the worse way. And no matter how you war, wait, wail, or win, disturbances come without notice. And the tough skin you thought you had is thinning fast. What do you do, now?

Taken from MSNBC News the article reads, "He said he spent the 11 days buried in the ruins of a hotel grocery store praying, reciting psalms and sleeping. "I wasn't afraid because I knew they were searching and would come for me," he said.

Are you buried in troubles? If so, take a lesson from this man. While his situation appeared the same, he looked beyond the circumstance opened his mouth and prayed, recited psalms and got some sleep. That's pro-active faith that says, "I don't know when, I don't know how, but I know I am going to make it out of this."

Wherever you find yourself at today, you have two choices: Stay in the rubble or get out. If getting out is your choice, I dare you to open your mouth and pray. ‘Recite psalms' or whatever scriptures you know. Say it out loud to yourself until you feel confidence growing. Don't stop. Keep repeating it. Then go to sleep. No matter the climb or struggle within, trust God with every heavy situation and circumstance. He is still the God of catching cares. His glove is never frayed or broken. Stay encouraged in the heavy– and move Forward.

We're not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There's far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can't see now will last forever. [2 Corinthians 4:16-18 The Message]

Exhortation with VeeVeca-More than an Image

Exhortation: The Secret: More than an Image

When you look at yourself in the mirror, what do you see? Do you smile lovingly at yourself and declare, "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." [Psalms 139:14] Are you smiling at yourself showing all of your beautiful teeth? Or, do you look at yourself distastefully with a growl and a heavy burden of dissatisfaction? This is your body, your temple, and you hate it.

Today, millions of people woke up without the secret. What secret is that? Glad you asked. The secret is this– You are more than an image.

From clay to egg to development, you were created by God in the image of himself. Your eyes, your nose, your ears and even the way your smile twitches when you laugh. It’s his mark of identity that claims you as his own. What if the twitch was God’s way of identifying you amongst all of his children?

Imagine this, we are in heaven. God calls for you, but he doesn’t call you by
your birth name. Rather, the father calls you by the birth mark. The very
identification imprint that he gave to distinguish you from all the rest. Dare
you believe that God is smarter than a fifth grader! The Almighty Father made
the human frame and perfected genes and hormones, marrow and bones to come
together to construct a perfect you, in his own image.

The father calls out, "Twitch, where are you?" He looks over the whole crowd. His voice is soothing like waves moving in water. "Twitch, I am looking for you."

The children move about in hurried anticipation. Talk about the
old lady in the shoe having so many children she didn’t know what to do. With
God, that’s not a problem. He has many mansions and children to fit them all.
And he knows exactly what to do. "Twitch are you playing hide and
seek?"

You cover your mouth, but it doesn’t completely hide the twitch. No matter what you do the twitch never leaves. It’s your thorn in the flesh and your Achilles heel. You mumble, "Nobody loves how I look, not even me."

God is walking among his children. He sees Big Eyes over there. He smiles. He winks at Full Lips. Then he pats Big Ears on his way. Bald Head tells him a joke and they laugh out loud. Contrary to popular belief, the father loves to laugh with
his children. "Now , Twitch, where are you?" He says recovering from a hardy
laugh.

You hear the father’s voice. Your head hangs low. "If only I didn’t have this twitch," you think silently. Ah... Ah..." You sneeze pushing your head upward and your hands away from your lips.

"Well there you are, child." God’s face gleams with expectancy. "I’ve been looking for you. How are you today?"

What will you say? "Well dad you really screwed up when you made me. See this twitch here... It won’t let me in the right places, meet the best people. It’s sorta like a handicap. A bottle, I can’t unscrew. It’s the ugliest mess I’ve ever seen. I mean really, if I didn’t have this.... I.."

The father stares. "So, let me understand you. The twitch...
that I gave you doesn’t work for your image. It doesn’t profit you in this
world? And basically you are telling me that my craftsmanship of creation
is now unacceptable?"

If you had to stand face to face with God about your twitch, how would you
score?

There are millions of people who hate the skin they are in. Today, consider the maker of your body. God loves you just as you are. He wants you healthy, happy and free. "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." [3 John 1:2]

No matter the climb or struggle within, trust God with every heavy situation and circumstance. He is still the God of catching cares. His glove is never frayed or broken.

Stay encouraged in the heavy– and move Forward

Real Ministry with VeeVeca

Are you looking in the right spot?

Scripture in View: [Hebrews 12:1-3]

What are you looking at? The problem. The drama. What is and what isn’t. Are you constantly looking through the woulda/shoulda glasses and coming up short on the reward of your life’s reality. If _________ was ___________ I would be____________. If this is where you are looking, you are clearly looking in the wrong place.

• Point 1: Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses– Everybody’s got drama. You are not the only one. Stop being the penny with the hole in it.
  


• Point 2: let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us– Put the smack down on garbage and sin in your own life. If you are violating your temple (your body), detox your lifestyle. Check your closest before somebody brings you out of the closet. You yourself already know what your problem is. If you are lying, stop lying. If you are a messy, stop being messy. If you are promiscuous (whoring), stop giving up your goods. Nobody has to out you but you! Just get out of it and...
  


• Point 3: and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,– You are somebody. God never created a mistake. Purpose brought you, and you should run with patience (the margin to of a stride) to live to be your best self. It’s like a marathon, at some points you can run fast to build up your lead. But at other times, the pace is slower. Not because you can’t run, but moreso the slow down is necessary because the distance is further and you must slow down to gain the momentum to finish the race. But how do you get there?
  


• Point 4: Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; The only way to cross the finish line is the same way into and out of the world, looking to Jesus. What does that mean? Jesus who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
  


• Point 5: In whatever you go through, whatever surfaces, hurdles to leap, pains to endure– look to Lord for the strength, power, refuge, and help to get through it. Simply pray. "Lord I am in ___ and I don’t know what to do. Please help me. You are my strength and hope. Amen."
  

No matter the climb or struggle within, trust God with every heavy situation and circumstance. He is still the God of catching cares. His glove is never frayed or broken.
