(3John 1:2) Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
Your soul is made up of your mind, your will, and your emotions.
It is vital that your environment is conducive to helping all three prosper.
I have learned and the Lord is steadily confirming that you can only go as far as your mind will take you, and if you are in an environment that is constantly draining you, then that will not be very far.
Interesting to note that the scripture points out that God wants us to be in health while we are prospering. An unhealthy environment will undoubtedly bring on unwanted health issues.
I've said all that to make an important point:
CHANGE IS SOMETIMES INEVITABLE!
You may already know what these changes are and having been running from them or you have no idea what to change, you just know that something has got to change.
Wherever you are in the process, listen to the Lord and MOVE ON!!
Your Prosperous Soul is Waiting....

A Diamond In The Rough
WHY GOD WHY, WHEN GOD WHEN??
Stop with the questions already...Just endure the Process...
(Just a quick post on the pressure you have been feeling)
The Master chisels, polishes, cuts away the weight, and shapes the diamond the way we know the diamonds to look after the process, once it is ready to be admired and sold (used). A diamond takes years and years from the moment its born in the earth to the moment The Master has it already to be used for his glorious purpose, for the world to see.
The processing of a Diamond includes:
**Development under Extreme Heat and Pressure..."EX....TREME"
**Crushing-(you feel like you are being smothered, hard to breathe, consticted)
**Seperating-(You feel alone, you are unable to connect, there is distance between you and everyone else)
**Greasing- (You are being anointed with the oil of God)
**Cutting-(Final step, but very painful, right before you are ready to be called a "Diamond", after all the other painful processes
, there is one last cutof The Master's knife"-*painful, but necessary*
When it is all said and done you will come shining through as the diamond you were created to be!!
One last word...ENDURE!!!!

Think Happy!
Paul said in Acts 26:2, "I think myself happy"..This has become my daily declaration and you may want to adopt it as well. We live in a day where the pressures of life can really seem to be too much at times. The enemy is constantly working against your mind to keep you oppressed, depressed, and suppressed. You can have the victory and peace of mind everyday, just by meditating (thinking) on the Word of God.
Neh. 8:10.........The joy of the Lord is my strength
Psalms 27:1.....The Lord is the strength of my life
1 John 4:4........Greater is He that is in me, then he that is in the world
Prov. 4 21:22.....I will not let the Word depart from my eyes, for it is life and health
Eph. 4:29..........I let no corrupt words come out of my mouth, only that which is good and edifying.
Eph. 4:27..........I refuse to give place to the devil.
Eph 4:15...........I speak the truth in love, and grow up into Him in all things.
John 10:28........No man shall take me out of His hand, for I have eternal life.
Col 3:15............I let the peace of God rule in my heart, I refuse to worry about anything.
Matt 16:19........That which I refuse to allow here, God also refuses to allow, and that which I allow, He also will bring to pass here.
Col 2:10........... I am complete in Him who is the head of all principality and power
Mark 16:17,18...I am a believer and these things do follow me. I speak with new tongues, I take authority over the devil, I lay my hands on the sick and they recover.
