A Beautiful Sight, We're Happy Tonight...

He orders the snow, 'Blanket the earth!' and the rain, 'Soak the whole countryside!' No one can escape the weather—it's there. And no one can escape from God. (Job 37:6, 7 - The Message)

Fire and hail, snow and ice, hurricanes obeying his orders...
(Psalms 148:8 - The Message)

Just as rain and snow descend from the skies and don't go back until they've watered the earth, Doing their work of making things grow and blossom, producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry, So will the words that come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed. They'll do the work I sent them to do, they'll complete the assignment I gave them.
(Isaiah 55:10, 11 - The Message)

“Come now, let’s settle this,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow..." (Isaiah 1:18 - The Message)

Happy 2nd Birthday BLOGINTHENOW!

Something to Consider

Good News!

I have some really good news to share with everyone tomorrow night, and it has to do with the CITN community rising to the occasion and taking responsibility for the maintenance and preservation of this ministry! The paradigm shift that the collective congregation has needed is apparently becoming a reality now, and it's all good! Thank you for your faithfulness, and PLEASE keep up the good work!

BE SOMEBODY!

"In a word, what I'm saying is, Grow up. You're Kingdom subjects. Now live like it. Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you." (Matthew 5:48 – The Message)

Today I will live in the now! I will live in the now because I am fearfully and wonderfully made – I am His workmanship – I am the righteousness of God in Christ – I am the head and not the tail, above only, and not beneath – I am bought with a price – I am somebody!


Today I will refuse to believe anything about myself that is contrary to what God believes about me. I will not regard any word spoken about me that does not confirm what God says about me. I will agree with God and His will for my life, even if it seems illogical and impractical to do so.



















Today I will carry myself in a way that demonstrates my godly self-confidence. I will speak well of myself without bragging or being offensive to others. I will show that I believe in myself, without thinking more highly of myself than I ought to think. I will love my neighbor as I love myself today.


Today I will not waste my time on unimportant and trivial things – the "beggarly elements of the world." I will forsake the temptation to give in to silly pettiness, and will pursue great ideas and noble thoughts. I will conduct my affairs with a flair for grandeur and loftiness, without becoming pretentious and out of touch with reality.


Today I will feel neither superior nor inferior to anyone else.




















Today I will remember that I am who God says that I am – I have what God says that I have – and I can do what God says that I can do!






















Today I will walk like a winner, and lose my loser mentality. I am a champion – a king – an overcomer. I have favor, creativity, confidence, the Mind of Christ, prosperity, success, supernatural ability, and uncommon favor. Anything can happen today, and my expectation of faith will attract the positive to my life. If God is for me, who can be against me?! No matter what others have said to me or about me – no matter what I have said about myself – today is a new day of self-realization for me. Today I am somebody, and today I will live in the now!

Father, help me to remember today that You have enabled me to be somebody! In Jesus’ name, amen.
