Motivational and Inspirational Videos

We all need to be motivated, to have some inspiration in our life and it comes through reading the word, listening to music and many other different ways. This morning my wife sent me a link to one on YouTube and I found many more and it has encouraged me to continue to move forward. I want to encourage you as well, no matter what you are facing, no matter what obstacles that may be in your way, God is faithful, He will have victory. The first video is about Prayer. It is called Pray Like You Mean It, it is incredible. How many of us pray, but don't believe that God will answer? He answers prayer, remember the parable that Jesus told about the Persistent widow? Luke 18:1-8  She kept asking and in it, she received. We need to keep asking and believe that God will answer. Stop thinking that prayer doesn't work and start praying and don't stop, just because God has His own timing, it may not be ours, but God timing is perfect, ours is rushed and we miss the lesson that He is teaching us along the way. He wants us to learn and in learning we grow and change.


We believe the lies of our human flesh, we give into the world more times than we give into God. They will call it a heart issue and that heart issue is that we limit what we can do, because we may be afraid of failure, so we don't try. That is not called faith, God calls us to walk by faith and not by sight, the world says we should see what we are doing and then only do what we feel we can do and in that we are not following God. God wants us to walk by faith. How are you walking today?


It is easy to hear the world say we can't do it, we can hear the devil echoing in our ears we are failures, we are not good enough or God doesn't love us, or God will never forgive us of our past, but He says He will and He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins. The devil is always reminding us of our failures, but God is in it all reminding us how He will use them to make us more like Him. It is a battle a war of our flesh verses that of the Living God. We need to battle our flesh, stand tall and to fight for what is right. Is it time for you to fight? No longer giving into the world, time to fight.


It is easy to become discouraged, to think that we do not measure up, that we are not worth it, but our confidence is not in ourselves, but the our One True God, who has gone before us. He has made a way where we thought there was no other way. Jesus is the only way, when we base our lives on other people, what we wear, how we act, we will never be what God wants us to be, but when we base it on Jesus Christ, we will love like He calls us to, we will act like He calls us to and we will strive to be more and more like Him. Our confidence must be in Him and not me. Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."


Ephesians 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[a] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."

I came across one more, I wanted to share too, it is longer, but who are you Committed too? This is so good. This is God's truth right from the word of God. Are we committed to the truth, because John 8:32 "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.""
