Do you wake up thinking what you’re going to do today for yourselves,? Or do you wake up thinking, what you’re going to do today to help someone else? When you pray, are you praying for others, or are you praying solely for yourself ?

God created us and has equipped us to serve Him. He made us, we didn’t make ourselves. Our strengths and talents are from God so that we can do His will, not our own. We are called by God to serve, not to be served.

When we help others, we are serving God. When we give of ourselves, we are serving God. When we serve with the right intent, a glad heart, we receive the blessings of God. He rewards us.

Think more about others, help others, and let God lift you up, and receive the blessings of God.

Psalm 100:3 (KJV) – know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Philippians 2:13 (KJV) – for it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Galatians 5:13 (KJV) – for, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

II Thessalonians 1:11-12 (KJV) – wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

James 4:10 (KJV) – humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

Everything God has made is good. He made everything perfect in it’s form.

We, in the flesh, want to alter God’s perfection. Why? Do we know more than God? Of course we don’t. God wants us to be perfect, as He is perfect. But our perfection is from God, not ourselves.

Genesis 1:31 (KJV) – and God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good….

Psalm 18:30 (KJV) – as for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

Matthew 5:48 (KJV) – be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

II Samuel 22:33 (KJV) – God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.

Get It or Get Got speaks on relationships, and the consequences we face based on the decisions we make, whether in the spiritual realm or in the flesh. Lying, deceit, adultery and fornication does not maximize on age, therefore the audience for this book is for the ages of those who read it and get It. Get It so you won’t Get Got!!

Every last one of us have sinned, and have fallen short of God’s glory. We have made mistakes where we feel there is no point of return to God’s love and grace.

We have a Father that loves us so much, that He said, he will forgive you of your sins. He has given you His grace. He said, his grace is sufficient. All you have to do is ask for his forgiveness, and He will forgive you. Your sins have not been so bad that He will not forgive you. Once you ask for forgiveness from our Father, your sins are not remembered by God, no more.

Ask for forgiveness, and if someone has wronged you, forgive them.

Romans 3:23 (KJV) – for all have sinned, and some short of the glory of God.

Psalm 103:12 (KJV) – as far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

II Corinthians 12:9 (KJV) – and he said unto me, my grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Matthew 6:14-15 (KJV) – for if ye forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you: but if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

We worry about things we have no business worrying about. We can’t eat, we can’t sleep. We can’t think straight. It is not God’s plan for us to worry. We are to give whatever it is that concerns us to Him, so that we can live a life of joy, comfort and peace.

God does not need our help doing what He know what is best for us. Honestly, what are you worried about, that God can not take care of? All things are possible with God. Once we give our cares to Him, don’t concern yourself with it anymore. Live a life of peace, comfort and joy!

Psalm 55:22 (KJV) – cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

Matthew 19:26 (KJV) – but Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, with men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

II Corinthians 13:11 (KJV) – finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

When you start doing the work of the Lord, He will begin to take you places you’ve never been, doing things you’ve never done, and meeting people you thought you’d never meet. You will begin to see blessings upon blessings. Most of all, you will see the blessings are not just meant for you, but for others as well.

You say, how do I know that I’m doing the work of the Lord? How do I know that I’m doing God’s will? When you’re doing what God has called you to do, walking in His way, you will see change, with the thought that you did not do this yourself. You will go from one area in your life to the other, and wonder (but you will know) “how did I get here, to this place in my life”. You will truly feel like you are soaring like an eagle!

When you accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and your personal savior, and serve our Father, it is then, you will begin to see the favor of God upon your life. You will see how you are a blessing to others! The doors He has opened for you, that no man can shut! He will introduce you to people that will catapult you, move you forward in your life!

Remember. . . where your blessings came from. Remember. . . To keep your eyes on the blesser. Remember. . .without Him you are nothing. Remember. . . it is He who made us, and not we ourselves. All the honor, and all the glory belongs to God our Father!

You have the power to change your circumstances. God gave it to you. USE IT!

He said, if you have faith of a mustard seed, you a can move mountains, and nothing shall be impossible to you.

We look to the heavens and cry out to God to change our circumstances, when He’s telling us, that He has given us power to change things, to make things happen. But, we must have faith.

We don’t always know what to do, but when we tell our Father, acknowledge Him in everything, He will guide us, show us and tell us what to say and to do. That’s when our power steps in. Understand, we don’t have all the power! But if we don’t have faith, our power is useless.

Matthew 17:20 (KJV) – and Jesus said unto them, because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Luke 10:19 (KJV) – behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Psalm 3:6 (KJV) – in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

I know that our Father loves me. The question is — do you believe He loves you?

If you truly know a person, you know if that person loves you or not. For the most part, we go by what a person can do for us to determine if they love us. Or if we get what we ask for, then we are loved. As long as we are having our way, we are loved. As soon as things start going sideways, love is quickly dismissed.

Our natural person is such a selfish person. The natural person wants to please and serve self, which is totally opposite of God. We are here to serve, not to be served. The love of God reigns in our mortal body to love others in various ways. We didn’t discover a love for God, to love Him first, He loved us first. And He proves and shows his love for us everyday, all day.

We look at the negative and find no good in it. Stop — see it as coming from God, and you will see the positive in everything. Because He loves us, God causes “ALL” things to work together for our good.

God loves us so much, that He forgives us for the wrong we do — time after time, throughout our whole lives. Read God’s word, get to know Him, and you will find out that God does truly love you.

I John 4:29 (KJV) – we love him, because he first loved us.

I John 1:9 (KJV) – if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Romans 8:28 (KJV) – and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

We have a tendency to believe we got everything we have on our own. We did it ourselves. Material things and money — we did it. And we believe these things belong to us, because we earned it, we bought it.

God has given us everything we have. God has provided it, and God owns it. He has given us power to get wealth, it is not us. We are simply stewards — over seers/managers of what God has given us. God owns it all. And if we are not careful, all that we have, that God has given us, can be taken away if we don’t manage it like He wants us to.

Deuteronomy 8:17-18 (KJV) – and thou say in thine heart, my power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God : for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

If you’ve ever played the game, hide-and-seek, you always hoped that you would find the person(s) that’s hiding from you. So you tried to think smart, going about diligently looking for that person. Hoping, if you look hard enough and think smart enough, you will find that person.

We go through life trying to think smart, seeking what we believe to be good, doing things we believe to be good, so that we may have peace and a good life. Without reading God’s word, we go through life blinded, playing hide-and-seek, hoping to find the finer things in life, by being guided by ourselves, in our own strength. Stumbling and falling, trying to pick ourselves up, making the same mistakes, trying to figure it out on our own.

Well, that’s not God’s plan for us. God wants us to have the finer things in life, and live in abundance. To do that, we have to seek after God. Our trust should be in God, and seeking Him and His goodness, who gives us peace, should be first, not the last resort.

One of God’s promises say, that if you look for him wholeheartedly, you will find him. And if you call on Him, and pray to Him, He will hear you.

Seek after what God has promised you. He can’t lie, so get what He said he wants you to have. Ask Him. He’s waiting for you to ask. Get what is yours, it’s yours!

John 10:10 (KJV) – the thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Matthew 6:33 (KJV) – but seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Jeremiah 29: 12-13 (KJV) – then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Like 11:9 (KJV) – and I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
