Living in Denial - It's Time to Grow Up

Do you know someone living in denial? Well it's time to grow up. Stop trying to intervene in a rebellious person's life who wants to be wayward, stubborn and stiff necked.

By you babying a fool and self-willed person, you are encouraging them onward in stupidity and delaying their time to grow up. If someone is living in denial, step back and separate yourself so life's circumstances can speak to the foolish and wayward in heart.

Stop babying and intervening in the lives of fools so they can hit their brick wall, have a wake up call, come to self-awareness, embrace humility and endeavor to grow up beyond their present stupidity.

Mothers and fathers who continually baby their adult children however delay their personal growth, prolong them living in denial and hinder them from experiencing life as an adult.

It's time to grow up and stop babying adults living like children at your expense. Stop financing foolish behavior because that is not love, just stupidity which will further perpetuate immaturity and reckless behavior.

Those living in denial need a wake up call, not a pillow, pile of cash and home cooked meal. Tell them it's time to grow up, get a job, and live like an adult.

Respect Your Pastor - Pray for Your Pastor

Respect your Pastor and pray for your Pastor if you want God to bless you. When you respect your pastor and submit to the spiritual authority God has appointed over your life, the Scripture promises it will profit your soul and life.

'Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you'(Hebrews 13:17).

In other words, respect your Pastor and pray for your pastor (before you think to criticize and oppose your Pastor). Know that the only ministerial office God promises will profit your life is the prophet... when you believe their words (see 2Chronicles 20:20).

However God promises a profiting also when YOU actively choose to submit yourself to and respect your pastor in Hebrews 13:17. Thus the decision to respect your pastor is up to you. Therefore I urge you to pray for your pastor, honor your pastor, and respect your pastor before you think to bite and devour them.

After all it is your soul they labor for spiritually and serve in love. Give your Pastor grace and mercy, because you too need the same (and we all are bought by the blood of Christ, being sinners in need of salvation).

Therefore sow mercy, grace and peace ...respect your Pastor ...as unto the Lord, and God will attend to and care for everything else concerning you, your church and Pastor.

If God called and appointed your Pastor, the Lord is able to speak to, correct, guide and lead them.

Therefore give place to grace as we all are maturing, journeying and growing. Don't be a judgmental and belittling critic. Have faith for God to move in and through your Pastor and congregation.

If God is for us, nothing is impossible and anything against us can be overcome.

En route to victory, to overcome adversity respect your Pastor and pray for your Pastor as we all go through trials and tribulations. We all must walk and live by faith... even more so Pastors who have to trust God to melt and speak to hearts to give love offerings to sustain them and their families weekly.

Therefore respect your Pastor and be a blessing, not a burden to them.

Respect Your Husband and Be a Better Woman

Respect your husband and endeavor to be a better woman before you start whining and complaining. Give thanks to God for what you do have, before considering what you don't have.

Furthermore just because you are outwardly beautiful (looks fade over time ...even faster when your heart is corrupt and attitude ugly) does not mean you are entitled to get everything under the sun without working for it.

Respect your husband and be diligent to work and do your part before whining about all of your unfulfilled dreams. Having a dream is one thing, having the integrity and discipline to put feet to your faith and do something to make that dream a reality is another.

Oprah worked 14 hour days to make her dreams a reality. Respect your husband lady and be a doer rather than a complainer.

If you have unfulfilled dreams, it's not your husband's fault. It's not your husband's job to be your slave and please you day and night. Happiness is an inside job.

Respect your husband and have a check up from the neck up before you reproduce your toxic attitude in your kids and recycle your pain in future relationships.

Respect your husband, take responsibility for yourself, and if you're unhappy take a long look in the mirror and do something about it... beginning with YOU!

Give God Something to Work With and Stop Whining

Give God something to work with people and stop whining! If you need a miracle from heaven, give God something to work with!

The Bible says "faith without works is dead" (James 2:26), meaning you have to put feet to your faith and give God something to work with.

Use your God given gifts, talents and abilities and give God something to work with. Otherwise you can sit on your fat butt and keep whining and go nowhere.

I encourage you to get up, get a vision, do something and give God something to work with!

Respect Your Pastor or Leave the Church

Respect your Pastor or do everybody a favor and leave the church. If you are a perpetual whiner, complainer and negative noise maker, you need to shut up and respect your Pastor, stop causing trouble, or if you are incapable of being a blessing leave the church.

Respect your Pastor! He/she works tirelessly for God and is underpaid for their services. Furthermore ministry is often a thankless job that uses and abuses a man/woman.

Medical doctors on call day and night are paid six figures or more. Pastors are often paid pennies to be continually annoyed and harassed by irritating and self-absorbed church members who are too lazy to take accountability for their own lives.

Church folks are often some of the most socially dysfunctional people on the planet who in the name of God feel they are entitled to continually call, annoy and dump all of their problems on their Pastor.

Instead of going to God in prayer and putting feet to their faith, lazy and socially dysfunctional church members like to have a pity party and call on Pastor day and night.

No! Get a life and learn to respect your Pastor. Your Pastor has a life to live and family to attend to also. Moreover your Pastor also has bills to pay, usually which the congregation's little offerings and tithes rarely can cover. Furthermore your Pastor has dreams and goals for his/her life and may not want to live on the small crumbs he/she gets in the weekly offerings.

So respect your Pastor and their time, talents and abilities before you seek to continually impose yourself upon them and try to monopolize their time.

Fast and pray for a week and ask God to speak to you, the Holy Spirit to comfort you, and read your Bible for divine guidance. If you are too lazy to do these things, you don't deserve to speak to Pastor privately and have another counseling session.

If you can't respect your Pastor, do him/her a favor, leave the church and go annoy someone else.

Purity, Peace and Prosperity

Purity, peace and prosperity come together nicely and progressively as we focus on that which is most valuable within before pursuing possessions and endeavor to acquire things that often only weigh us down within.

However when purity, peace and prosperity are put in their proper perspective and order of importance, they all flow and come about more naturally and organically with far less effort and agonizing on our part.

Put purity, peace and prosperity in their proper place in your life and watch good things begin to emerge and take place.

Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God (Matthew 5:8).

God is My Friend - Making God Your Friend

God is my friend. Making God your friend is easy. Just open your heart and invite God to be your friend.

Making God your friend at first may feel awkward, but as you over time continue to communicate and simply talk to God throughout your days, you too will come to a place where you also can say: "God is my friend!"

Making God your friend is one of the best things you could ever do. With God on your side you will always be a majority, have supernatural ability and be able to overcome all adversity.

Lifelong Learning - Invest in Yourself

Lifelong learning requires a willingness to invest in yourself. Ironically and sadly, few do these days preferring to watch others live their lives on TV or gossip about friends and family.

Lifelong learning requires humility, something arrogant folks do not embrace easily. Pride is often nothing more than a facade to cover insecurity.

When you invest in yourself however you add value to your life. That can't merely be accomplished by spouting off at the mouth. To invest in yourself requires mental wits and hard work. When you invest in yourself you rarely have time to blab your mouth, because you're too busy going forward and working to better yourself.

Lifelong learning is a wonderful process when you embrace it. I love lifelong learning because I always grow and journey inwardly to new destinations.

It's amazing how much you can learn after you know it all. Most teenagers awaken to their parents' intelligence once they are made to provide for themselves as adults.

As one of my friends recently said, "When you encounter a person who knows it all. A person done learning...run for the hills. That person is dangerous!"

As for me, lifelong learning is my way of life. I have two ears and one mouth. Lifelong learning continually adds to and improves my life.

I don't care what people say about me. Some compare and size you up based on your age, bank account, clothes, car, house, etc. but when you are into lifelong learning, you are always growing, always maturing, always improving, always becoming more wise, intelligent, prudent, knowledgeable and useful in life.

When Marriage Feels Like Suicide - You Need to Hear from God

When marriage feels like suicide (which it sometimes does), you need to hear from God.

Some don't understand how marriage feels like suicide, but when you're in it, you get it! Emotional intelligence is rarely taught in school, universities, corporate America or churches.

A belittling, nagging, abusive (verbal or physical) spouse can quickly make you get to the point where marriage feels like suicide ...a daily dose of death.

As a relational author, life coach, survivor of adultery, and someone who has risen above the abuse I've endured from women (three generations of women), I have peculiar and strategic insight to help you survive and succeed when marriage feels like suicide.

If you're a woman reading this, rest assured I understand and witnessed the abuse men (my father and grandfather) could dish out as well during my childhood, so I also understand how women can come to a point when marriage feels like suicide and all they want to do is cry and run away.

I didn't ask for all of the heartache and pain I've endured, survived and overcome throughout my life; but somehow God has enabled me to lift my head up above it all (yes even when marriage feels like suicide) to remain hopeful and cultivate childlike faith.

Though human beings disappoint, God never does.

I keep a very busy schedule speaking worldwide, writing books, ministering in churches, counseling, life coaching and trying to take a few trips for myself annually; but if you have reached a breaking point where marriage feels like suicide email me and let me know.

Maybe my secretary can set up a intervention and series of coaching sessions.

By the way, when marriage feels like suicide, sometimes counseling and life coaching may be better for you individually before you rush to do this as a couple together.

When I went through my divorce, my ex-wife only attended 1 of 9 counseling sessions to heal our marriage. Nevertheless God had a plan for me, despite the emotional lows during times when marriage feels like suicide (or was feeling like suicide).

As I went through that personal ground zero and emotional cave, I wrote my book 'Breakthrough For a Broken Heart' to heal my heart and the many other broken hearts throughout the world.

Unfortunately, few Pastors I encountered along my season of adversity were able to hear from God for me (perhaps they were unwilling and/or unable). To hear from God, sometimes you must do so alone as you listen to circumstances.

Nevertheless God did use one minister (who I listened to his many audio messages) to hear from God inadvertently (even though it wasn't directly). So keep your eyes and ears open when you need to hear from God and let the Holy Spirit lead you.

Hungry for the Miraculous and Need a Miracle?

Hungry for the miraculous and need a miracle? Many are hungry for the miraculous and have need of a miracle in this hour.

You are not alone!

If you are hungry for the miraculous and need a miracle, humbly bow your knees in prayer asking God for His help and intervention in your life.

Repent for all wrongdoing - sins (things done, undone and inappropriately said) and tell God you are sorry and need a miracle.

If you are truly hungry for the miraculous, you can also take the next step by inviting a minister who moves in the miracle working power of God to come preach in your city and pray personally for those in need.

Often when I go preach in cities throughout the world, the Holy Spirit gives me a prophetic word for the church, city and people in present in the congregation.

Here are some past videos at http://www.PaulFDavis.com/supernatura... (scroll down to find) where I saw God show up in power, help those hungry for the miraculous and those who also did need a miracle.
