Changing our mindset is a never ending process. In order to see changes in our behavior, we must change our mindset. By changing your mindset, you have the ability to change your life.

It’s time to figure out what it is that you want in this life…..

The Holy Spirit gives us the power to run and not be weary, to walk and not grow faint. We tap into its power by spending time with God daily to renew our strength, as we wait for our prayers to be answered.

We all know that there is a difference between reading directions and following directions. Or, to use biblical terminology, there is a difference between hearing or reading the Word and obeying the Word. The next time you read the Word, read it for the purpose of learning how to walk in God’s ways. When you do, you will realize that reading and obeying the Word is the recipe for God’s blessings.
