Been thinking about all of you!!--ENCOURAGEMENT

I have been thinking about the members of this group and the purpose of Designer Genes. The following is a result of a huge amount of prayer and fasting:
Financial aspects of our lives seem to be talked about the most, and the Enemy knows that the economy is bad—unemployment is high, debt is skyrocketing, and people are desperate. Can I tell you something?
God didn’t save you from sin for you to lose. He didn’t predestine you to lose or to be defeated. If you were going to be defeated, you could’ve been defeated in Sin. God never meant for you to lose. The devil is just being himself when he tells you maybe you are wrong for wanting something in God’s kingdom. He is the father of lies. Thank God for what He is going to do. We all have challenges. That’s nothing new, but there is a fight going on. If you are not spiritual, you may not be able to see the weapons drawn against you. Ephesians 6:12 says For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. The Philistines in your life are marching against your mind, health, destiny, prosperity, and all things of God. We are warriors.
In your daily fight daily..STAND tough. . That mountain of debt is the ENEMY. Satan wants us to be ignorant, it’s an attack! This is why we are told in Ephesians 6:13-17 to put on the entire amour that God has given to us. In verse 13, we read, "...that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand." The purpose of amour is to protect. The Bible tells us that we are to protect the lower portion of the body with TRUTH. What is the truth? The truth is that Jesus is in control; not Satan, not emotions, not even you! Jesus says, "I am the way the truth and the life" (John 14:6).
As a believer, you must understand that you must make yourself available to be used by God, and if He never uses you, you should not be upset because He is still able. When He gets ready to raise you, He will raise you up. What He has for you is yours. Keep your motives pure and stay humble. That humility that says Lord I am not worthy! Talent does not earn you the right to serve. If people don’t recognize who you are, that’s because God has not shined the light on you yet, and that is likely because you are not ready in your character to go where your Gift wants to take you. Anyway He uses you, be satisfied! You will never have the stage He gives you until you humble yourself. Celebrate God when you have experienced job loss!
A common trick of the enemy is to get you to pull off to the side of the road when you are down and feeling low…and have a pity party. Pity parties are no longer okay. Doubt, loneliness, anger, bitterness, fear are all invitees, but these are all the wrong emotions. Get where someone can tell you God is able (a church family; small group, etc.) speaking the word of truth in your life. During tough times, get in the company of encouraging people. Do not go through alone. Hebrews 10:25 (King James Version) says Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. In times of financial hardship, these feelings are amplified. Take this time to learn more about finances, what God has to say about your finances, and how to pray for His guidance in all situations.
@ Designer Genes, we are somewhere between promise and fulfillment (not perfect). We love God. We are on the right road. We are saying Yes to His will. We are looking for people who are heading in the right direction (or not). We are believing God for GREAT things!! If you are already in a group, ask someone if they need to be connected. Pray with someone.
Knock until the door is open. Look to God for your deliverance. He’s the only one who can take us from where we are to where we are destined to be! Sometimes the best things are those that you have to wait on. Even if things start getting worse, God can and will deliver! God will do all that he says he will do! Matthew 7:9 (The Message)"Don't bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need. This isn't a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we're in. If your child asks for bread, do you trick him with sawdust? If he asks for fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate? As bad as you are, you wouldn't think of such a thing. You're at least decent to your own children. So don't you think the God who conceived you in love will be even better?

Even in my imperfections, God is still perfect in His Grace and Mercy. ~Kirk Franklin!!!
