Be God-driven
God has something inside of you (1.08)
– “People look at the now, and they don’t see what I went through, and if you miss the through, and look at the now, you tend to sometimes find yourself in envy. But if you look at the struggle in the walk, it was very difficult.”
The forgiveness of my father (5.22)
– Pray, lots of prayers
“The thing that opened up for me, and asked: “What happened to you? (5.38)
-What he did was wrong, but I was still able to forgive him (6.22)
What’s burning in my heart, what’s inside of me (7.31)
– “I feel we are all given a candle to handle, this little light of mine..”
That light is your destiny, and it’s gonna lead you to your path, what is that in your own life?
– “I always wanted to ask what the alignment is inside of me” (7.51)
Ask, ask according to the light (8.15)
-Walking by faith (8.47)
“Sometimes walking by faith can be very uncomfortable, and sometimes we don’t have the whole picture, you just have this little bit of light, and you just have to keep moving forward.”
Feeling worthy (9.49)
– Things can happen to us, and we don’t feel worthy, or we make excuses “I can’t do this because this happened to me..”
– You always search for motivation (10.17)
“Writing became my therapy..”
She didn’t feel worthy (10.51)
– “And if you live in a place where you don’t feel worthy, then you can’t allow any good thing to come into your life.”
– “I am worthy because God says I am worthy” (11.23)
You believe what God says about you (11.56)
– His thoughts towards us are very pure (11.38)
– “These are very important things that if people can come to know..”
God will use adversity to push us there (22.33)
– ‘They are getting prepared, to where you are going now..”
– ‘God is going to get you prepared..”
Encouraging yourself (22.43)
– You have got to protect yourself, and encourage yourself with all this negativity
“In this day, and age it’s so important, constantly bombarded with negatively, from social media, every second, you don’t have to look for it, and it defines you..”
Stepping stone
I’m gonna trust you when I don’t see anything happening
“God is working everything for my life, the right people..” 38.06
“Suddenly” (38.15)
– The suddenly are a culmination of all that time that you believed, you didn’t see anything happening and then “Suddenly”…
The dream will carry you
– “If there is something that God has placed in your heart, it’s never going to get away.”
– Look for that dream, those little things will give you that wind, beneath your wings, and help you get to the next point..”
– It’s just about having an awareness, a keen awareness of everything that’s going on, it’s not going to let go of you
– “God didn’t take the Israelites the easiest way to the promised land. Because they weren’t prepared for war. And so sometimes, we just have to be faithful to those closed doors. And sometimes we are learning through the tough times.”
Asking God for our dreams
– Make bold prayers (44.54)
“God’s put a gift in you, with something to fulfill your destiny, and it’s going to take more than just you. You gonna need God’s faith..through his faith, we gonna need his help.
– If you don’t ask, how do you know you’re not gonna receive? (45:17)
It’s not about being unworthy, we are not inconveniencing God when we ask him about our dreams.
– Stand where God wants you to (46.01)
“My dream, and my destiny, and my goal is not just for me, there are people who are waiting for you to take your place so that they can get in line to what God is doing for them.”
I’m so glad God didn’t show me the full picture
– Everyone has a dream (47.02)
“Everything works together for your good.”
Every moment (47.59) in my life has worked together for my good
“If you haven’t been (49.03) who you are, I don’t know where I’ll be.”
– I thank God I had the love of a mother (49:56)
