March 2021

When you experience extreme loss, you end up dividing your entire life by that event. There is the time before the loss, and the time after. You are forever changed by that one moment in time that shook your belief system to the core. After all the stages of grief, you may then find yourself forever asking God, 'why'? We tend to hold on the the hope that some day - maybe only in the world to come - we will finally get the answer to our 'why'. I have my own 'why', as I am sure we all do. However, while in prayer this morning, I casually mentioned to the Lord that although I don't bring it up often to Him, someday I'd still like to know the answer to my 'why'. I acknowledged that I was fine if I didn't get an answer this side of Glory, but would be patient until He deemed fit to share His wisdom and understanding. Then I moved on to another topic of interest to share with Him as I continued my morning prayer. Toward the end, I felt Him drawing me back to my casual mention of my 'why'. I hadn't mentioned it to the Lord or anyone else for that matter in a long time. I have made my peace with the outcome. I have moved on without getting trapped in anger, bitterness and regret. I have held on to my faith and stood firm in the face of the storm. So why would He lead me back to that question? I wasn't demanding from Him an immediate answer, vindication, or retribution for my troubles.

Then it came to me. I was silent for a moment as I felt His presence in my car, and my answer came... but not in the way I expected.

It isn't about me waiting for an answer.

It's about me no longer having a question.

In this world, people think "seeing is believing". In the Kingdom of God, "seeing comes through believing". #walkbyfaith Your faith isn't tested until what you heard from God isn't matching up with what you're currently seeing in your life. Hold on to what He told you. #walkingbyfaithnotbysight Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.- Hebrews 11:1 #walkingbyfaithandnotbysight Praise God on what He said, NOT on what you see! #faith Jesus said, "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."- Mark 11:24 #walkinfaith If you believe what God said, live like it even though it hasn't happened yet. #walkingbyfaith He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."- Matthew 17:20 #faithisthesubstance 🔥Subscribe to my YouTube channel and podcast,👉🏾"Uplift Past Crossroads"👈🏾🔥 Befriend me on Facebook/LinkedIn = Sean Christopher Jenkins 🔥Follow👉🏾@troubledontlast 👈🏾IG/Twitter/Snap for more🔥 Turn on Post Notification - Like - Comment - Share - Save ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ . .

WORDPLAY:  When Your Purpose Calls

One morning in November 2014, I had an encounter with whom I am sure was God, that would change my trajectory forever. In those minutes, which seemed like an eternity, I was presented with the option to maintain the status quo of the life I had planned for myself, or do something radical like trust God’s plan. I was living safely, quietly and peacefully as a “good Christian.” By all accounts, my life was successful and productive in not only my eyes, but in the eyes of men. I am generally a happy person who smiles a lot, so even when I need to make lemonade out of lemons, I am positive and resilient. Nonetheless, I knew that though I was reasonably satisfied, there was a mournful discontent in the deepest recesses of my soul. There was something gnawing at my insides; begging me to walk away from the safe existence I had carefully curated.  It became clear on that fateful morning I was settling for something far less than what God intended for me.  

So in that moment, I answered the call to abandon the good life I planned, for the great life that God promised. That decision compelled me to completely, immediately totally, and permanently alter the direction of my life.  Some of the people, places and things that enabled me to live my good Plan B life were literally removed overnight. Others were excised with surgical precision, methodically purging everything that served as a hinderance to my calling.  My life was not my own anymore; I was not my own. As I embarked on this journey toward my purpose, I began to receive insight that my life was really never my own because I had always been God’s treasured possession though I didn’t recognize my value or power. I received understanding that my truest happiness was being stolen from underneath me by allowing well-intentioned people to dictate what success meant.  Even more egregious, I was fully complicit because my thoughts and fears were the biggest stumbling block to my happy ending. The difference between remaining unscathed in my good life and risking it all to reach the perfect fulfillment of my great life, depended on my ability to choose fearfully or fearlessly.

I chose to be fearless and  go all out for my Plan A with reckless abandon. I have persevered even in the face of my fears and I have been richly rewarded. My journey toward my purpose, which I am still navigating, has not been easy.  It has been filled with all sorts of pitfalls and valleys, trials and hardships.  Yet at the very same time I am more fulfilled and excited than I have ever been about my life’s work. I am full of passion, conviction, exuberance and genuine contentment. I am in a full blown love affair with my calling and there is light virtually bursting from my seams. More importantly, I have had the awesome privilege of knowing God on a much deeper and inexpressible level.  Amazingly, I have had perfect peace as I pursue my dreams, and align myself with God’s individual purpose for my life.  I never imagined that peace and contentment could exist in the midst of hardship and turmoil, but I am proof positive.  It is a blessing that no amount of money could purchase.  My only regret is that I didn’t answer the phone sooner when my purpose was calling... but God’s timing is divine.

Today's message, "Just praise Him". When things are great, praise Him. When things are glum, praise Him. When your bills are paid, praise Him. When ends don't meet, praise Him. When your house is filled with meat, praise Him. When you don't have food to eat, praise Him. When your business is on the rise, Praise Him. In the face of demise, praise Him. When your friends talk about you, praise Him. When you have a work to do, praise Him. Praise Him going in. Praise Him going out. Praise Him with a dance. Praise Him with a shout. Naysayers will always have something to say. Hold fast to your faith & praise Him anyway! #watchthemflee #victory #faithisthesubstance #justpraiseHim
