The mind is often resistant to writing. It is an exercise for the brain. In the same way, our brain is not too happy when we want to do physical exercise; the brain isn’t happy when it is time to write, too. So what do we do? We write anyway. We know that the product from our thoughts is deep. We understand that the results of our writing are long-lasting. The words we write are spirit and life. GOD Himself speaks through our words. Remember that He lives in us and through us. So what do we do? We write. We write to honor God. We write to show HIS Glory. We don’t write for any other reason. Ok. So, what is my topic today?

I refuse

What kind of topic is that? I refuse? What do you refuse? It is simple. I refuse anything that doesn’t align with God’s Word. If it isn’t from God, I reject it. If it is a widespread situation that has no root in God but in tradition, I refuse. I absolutely and totally refuse it! Does that simple statement do anything? Absolutely! It does. It aligns and positions me in the way of God. I am a positioned and aligned man. Nothing can take me out of God’s will. I REFUSE! Absolutely and resolutely. I only accept that which is of God and from God!

A man comes to a point where he sees what is happening and decides on his direction. You can decide to stay at the old level. Or you can refuse and go up higher — your choice. Stay in the pity zone or move to the zone of the person who provides solutions. You have a choice. And your choice is reflected in our daily steps.

As a man thinks, so is he. Not so he will be. You are what you think, essentially. Look around and you will see it. Your life is reflected in your surroundings. What you see about you is what you have accepted.

A man can not go beyond his level of awareness. A king or someone in honour who doesn’t know they are honour is like a beast that perishes. Men will take advantage. That’s why you must refuse what is not in line with the PRESENT TRUTH. The PRESENT truth is a topic for another day. Refuse anything that makes you less than who you are. Refuse any situation that makes you less than who you are. Refuse. Yes, it is ego-stinging… but you know what? The world will respond to you in the same manner that you treat yourself.

Don’t stay in slavery. Refuse it. Choose to walk in freedom, even if it means walking on water. But that freedom is better than being tied to a boat without hope if that boat sinks. You are bigger and better than you know… Christ died for you and you have a deeper covenant than the Israelites. Is your life a reflection of deep covenant? Selah
