Sometimes in our lives we find that what God has displayed for us is more than enough. There is the feeling that we hold enough power to sustain us for the season we are in. In other words, we stay in the same spiritual movement,  therefore we become  stagnant. However, God wants us to seek more in our spiritual walk in order to truly understand what it is to be in His image. Our journey is to seek the very face of God until His face is found in us.  To discover His face, is to discover who we really are (but that is another topic for another time). In turn, when His face is seen in us, the power and authority of God begins to break loose allowing His glory to consume us everywhere we go. (Shout a praise!)  How do we seek His face and gain such expansion of power? To dig deeper is to exercise the power of God. The exercise comes in studying the word, digging deeper in prayer, and building relationships as a church (Referring ourselves as a church). As important it is...

Do you ever find yourself struggling to get a wide lens of what is around you? This is my experience while driving on the road this evening. Attempting to see the left hand side of me through my side view mirror, I was unable to see my blind side. That is when a revelation occurred.  I Adjusted my mirror to give me sight to see. An awakening happened, I once was blind but now I see! All along I was limiting myself from hinds sight. Sometimes we can get comfortable with just enough. We can often, without any recognition, find ourselves limiting the power and authority to expand.  Complacency is easy to perfect when we become comfortable with what is given, making do with what we have.  Ask yourself, is this all there is to see, know and experience? Am I offering myself a narrow lens of sight? Sometimes all we need is to adjust our lens to see our journey clearer. When we offer our frame of space to be filled with the Holy Spirit our lives are adjusted to discern all that i...

“Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path.” Proverbs 4:26 NLT Free will allows us to make the decision to follow God's instructions or follow our own. However, once we use the power within humanity, we divert ourselves from the road in which leads us to the land of milk and honey. All of a sudden the road that was built stretches wide, rough, crooked, with many outlets and dead ends. Eventually we will get to the road upon which He designed for us,  but it will be recognized that not by our own strength but His.  “I will teach you wisdom’s ways and lead you in straight paths.” Proverbs 4:11 NLT “Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go; guard her, for she is your life.” Proverbs 4:13 AMP http://bible.com/8/pro.4.13.amp “I will go before you and level the mountains [to make the crooked places straight]; I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut asunder the bars of iron.” Isaiah 45:2 AMP Following God's instructions requires obedience. It is the...

If God... God if...? What, God? Where, God? Why God? How God? Can God? Could God...? Only God! Yes God! You are God! Thank God! Only God... can.  Written by, Zoraida Clemente “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,” Ephesians 3:20 NIV

Holding onto nothing, I will be as light as a feather, With my feet in the air, Resting on a breeze,  As the hand of God underneath me.  I'm trusting in You To carry me through.  Not by my works, But Your will- Will see me through.  Written by Zoraida Clemente “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28 NIV  

Fight or Flight Today I get on a flight with no luggage.   My travel must be light.  No carry ons,   No baggage, No under carriage!  Leaving to fly on a wind  Destination: where the wind blows.  Trusting it will take me where I need to go.  I have prepared for this flight without being flighty  Wrestled with every fear Fought every fight Now it's time- to climb the height With no strain, pull or might I will travel light.  Stripped off every layer I'm on a wing and a prayer  Resting on a breeze... (Although I cannot see, I believe He will carry me To the place where I belong.  Where my heart knows He will take me and carry me over the threshold.) Written by, Zoraida Clemente  “He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind.” Psalm 18:10 NIV http://bible.com/111/psa.18.10.niv

What do you do when you physically can't do no more? When your mind has depleted every cell, that your body is sick, your soul troubled and spirit weak? You trust in what You can't see.  Hold on to what You don't know.  And see into the unknown.  Like the air you breathe- You believe.  Like no other promise you trust.  Like walk on water Faith- You rest assure to know, that He is God and He is able!!! ““Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.” Matthew 14:29 NIV Written by, Zoraida Clemente
