You Matter by Alicia Briscoe

  Fruitful Thought: Do you know who you are? Do you know your true identity? Do you know who you are created to be? If your answer is "No" to any or all of these questions then I want to encourage you today. Sometimes we have to be left alone with the one we judge the most - Ourselves! We must accept our truth and embrace who we are! We must become comfortable in the skin we're in. We need to discover our true identity. We have to consult with the one who created us. Noticed I didn't say the one who birthed us. We are all created by God so, it is only befitting that we seek his word in reference to our true identity. (Agreed) In Genesis 1:27 - It says " we are created in the image of God". Psalms 139:14 - It says, "we are fearfully & wonderfully made for marvelous works". 1 Peter 2:9 - It says, "we are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people". Now that you have discovered and/or have be...

You Are Stronger by Alicia Briscoe

  Fruitful Thought: The enemy is always going to be declaring war on us. I want to encourage you that you don't have to take it, embrace it or roll with the punches. You can declare war on him as well. Put on the full Armor of God and use the spiritual weapons to fight the enemy. 1. Speak (the Word) in every situation you face. If you have not committed it to memory look it up and speak it with authority regardless of what it looks like. 2. Communicate with God in (Prayer) talk to him he already knows but he wants to hear from you. If you don't know what to say get in his presence. If you have a heavenly language. Just do it he will hear you and he will answer. 3. Connect with other believers- (Spiritual Support) that have faith and that will stand either with you or in the gap when you are not able. God said it is not good for man to be alone and when two or more agree he is in the midst. Don't be and Island that is often invaded by the enemy get fortified has an army fo...

Relationships are Important by Alicia Briscoe

Image
  Fruitful Thought: Did you know that relationships are important to God? Did you ever consider it? Well, if you were like me I struggled with relationships. Not one type in particular over another but all types, family, friends, kids, spouse, coworkers, and church. I began a journey a while back about this subject. I have learned a few things along the way. I learned that God talks about relationships a lot in his word. That gave me a measuring method on what relationships are, what they require, the benefits and the consequences of them. In the word God says it is not good for man to be alone. It also describes how he longs to be in relationship with us. Then he gives some steps to being in relationships by first showing yourself friendly, to love others as yourself, be in agreement, dwell with one another in understanding, iron sharpens iron, and submit one to another. This list just remind you of a few things God emphasize in his Word about relationships. I encourage you to co...

Dare to Dream by Alicia Briscoe

Image
  Fruitful Thought: Have you ever considered where dreams come from? Well, I believe they come from God. He has given us promises on top of promises in his Word. A dream is nothing but a promise that God gives us which is manifested in due seasons of our lives. We are just like God in the earth realm. We have all power and authority to write the vision and make it plain, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time (Habakkuk 2:2-3). We just have to dare to dream, believe/trust God and it will come to past. Remember to believe is to have Faith and faith without works is dead. Do your part and trust that God is more than able to do his. So I encourage you to dream again and dream Big! Don't give up if it doesn't happen in your timing - God's time is always on time.
