Fellowship / You name it!! / Share how you were able to overcome your mistakes.

-what to do when you make a mistake? Repent before God and the offended party. If they don’t receive you apology, it’s too bad. Find the cause of your mistake. Is it lack of wisdom, anointing, lack of devotional time with God? Ask God to give you the thing lacking. Spend time acquiring it: wisdom comes from searching for knowledge and applying it. Anointing comes from prayer time and obedience to God. Don’t think that problems get resolved by themselves or that wisdom comes by osmosis. People try to condemn you? Explain to them that you stand or fall before God, not them. You know that you can act like this whole thing never happened. Try to recover the situation. Take responsibility for what you need to take responsibility for. Share how you were able to overcome your mistakes.

-overloaded people fail If you feel like your head hurts all the time and you don’t feel like getting up in the morning, it’s time to check out if you’re overloaded. Write out everything you do now and ask yourself if you really want to do all of those things. Would you like to give up something, because it isn’t for you? Who loads up your life? Let the Lord use you. Remember that quality is more important than quantity. What can you still do with quality? What does God want you to do? If you don't find the answer right away, just keep searching. Share how you keep from burn out.

Fellowship / You name it!! / Please, share prophecies that were made about your calling.

To be the driver of your own car (your life) it’s necessary spend time with God and ask Him some specific questions. What is my purpose and destiny? What do I have a crazy passion for? What have people prophesied into my life? What am I good at doing? What would I be happy doing? How can I get in control of my life? Are there people in my life, whose opinions control me? Where would I be happy fulfilling my purpose? Am I concerned about my calling or about other people’s opinion? How can I help others? Put these things on your prayer list. Pray. Consult with people that are already doing what you want to do. Remember that they can give you bad advice if they’re not in the Spirit. Get good literature on the topic of interest. Read it. Make a decision to follow God no matter how tough it gets. If you get off track, don’t give up, just get back on. I had to do the same thing. There was a prophesy over my life that I was to come as a missionary to Russia, but many people in church didn’t believe in my calling and said some bad things to me. Now I have a successful ministry here in Moscow. All praise be to God. I ‘m sure glad that I followed His leading. Please, share prophecies that were made about your calling.

Read this and be encouraged. Pastor Townsend was my Pastor in the US for 7 years. I left his church to go to do humanitarian relief work in Russia. I want to share with you what he told me God did for him. Before he accepted Jesus as His savior, he used to drink, take drugs, cheat on his wife and beat his wife. He didn’t want to do bad things, but he didn’t know how to stop. His barber has invited him to church, and Sam Townsend came to church for the first time at the age of 23. One lady has asked him if he wants to come up to the altar for prayer. He agreed. He repented for his sins and was really touched by God. He became a new person and was delivered right away from his bad habits by the power of God. He wanted to go home and ask his wife for forgiveness, because he really mistreated her. But when he came home, she threw his suit case out with all his things in it. He cried and told her about his salvation through the door. She did let him come in the house. After he got saved his Catholic wife was real mad. She wouldn’t let him take his son to church and they had many verbal fights. Pastor Townsend began to pray instead of arguing with his wife. One day his wife has followed him to church and then his wife got saved. I’m glad he didn’t give up on God when he had marriage trouble. If you have problems to day, ask Jesus to help you. Please, share your testimony.

Fellowship / You name it!! / share situations in your life when God has shown Himself to be reliable.

If you spend the time to be in the spirit today, then tomorrow isn’t scary. Know that tomorrow you’ll do the same and bare whatever happens. God will be there tomorrow, too. But do find Him today. Nothing is that important to take place of your time with God. If you have fear about something in the future or present, just pray about it and seek a strategy from God. Any old action will not do. Your life isn’t in the hands of circumstances or people; put it in the hands of God by praying and applying His word. I used to really worry about the future when I didn’t know God, but now He showed me that He is reliable through many situations. Please, share situations in your life when God has shown Himself to be reliable.

Fellowship / You name it!! / Share the lessons that you’ve learnt in life.

I’ve learnt from the past that letting people control you through manipulation or fear are the worst things that you can do to yourself. People can’t dictate your purpose or commitment to God. It’s for God to do. Not to develop your life is suicide. Listening to the wrong advisers is sure defeat. Not walking in the Spirit all the time is death. Giving in to the flesh is the road to defeat. Not having friends is a chance for emotional deficit. Get from under abuse. Unsuitable people as friends will harm you. All problems stream from not knowing or not applying the Word in your life. God doesn’t want me to control other people. Share the lessons that you’ve learnt in life.

you reap what you sow When I was in High school, I lived in Russia, Moscow. Even though I wasn’t saved, I made it a goal for myself to treat everyone well. Nine years later, I returned to Moscow as a missionary. I lived with three of my class mates. One of them has helped me move twice. Another had helped mend a broken relationship. Another one has helped with the passport. They also gave me money. This spiritual law works every time. They even visited me at the hospital.

Time out for complaints. I’m in Russia. This country has a specific spiritual, emotional, physical and mental climate. I receive it as it is. I need to find my place. So it’s not the US. But Jesus has sent me here because I can adapt, I can win and I can be successful in Him. While Russia might not have the spiritual climate I like, I can still have it in my life. Russia can’t close my spiritual doors, but my unbelief can What is it that I can’t change? I can’t change God’s word. I don’t want to change God’s word, because God’s word tells me that I can change anything if I pray and follow the Spirit’s leading. That’s fine by me. I can’t change the fact that I’ll have trials. But I can change my attitude towards them. God doesn’t permit tests to drive me crazy, but to show me His power and care. I can have a good attitude during a trial. I can’t change the fact that without God, I’m vulnerable, weak and defeated. But I can commit to being with God. I can commit to walking in the spirit and to looking at the world with heaven’s eyes. I can’t change the fact that there is a devil. But I can submit myself unto God, resist the devil and he shall flee. I can’t change the fact that some people can hate me, betray me, ridicule me and fight against me. But I can change what I do about that. I can pray, I can forgive them and I can pay them no attention. I can still have friends from God, because I believe God to give me friends. I can’t change the fact that sometimes I’ll make mistakes, but I can repent and learn from them. I can’t change the fact that everything will not always go according to my wishes. But I can change my attitude. I can submit to the will of God, I can pray for something to come to pass. I can work it out with the Lord. I can forget about a wish, because God can help me to forget about it. I can’t change God’s seasons, but I can be spiritual and move when God says move. I can’t change the fact that God wants to change me, but I can acknowledge that I need to change and to give Him the opportunity to do by spending devotional time with Him. Share your methods of dealing with frustration.
