For awhile now I have noticed that my car sometimes veers off to one side and I would have to take control of my steering wheel to get it back on track.

The other day I went to go get my oil changed and the macanic told me that it was time for some new tires, which I was aware of. He said that after I get my tires I would need to come back and get an aligment because my car was off balance really bad, which was causing my front tires to tread from the inside out and not the outside in. He said if I didn’t get them done soon, they could blow out on me at any moment, which is dangerous. I knew I needed some tires, but I had no idea that my tires were that bad. So I went the next day to get them replaced.

“No matter how out of line you think your life maybe, you can always get back on track. Pull yourself over, get yourself together and reroute”

Today’s Word

a-lign-ment Scriptures

Arrangement or position in a straight line or in parallel lines.
The process of adjusting parts so that they are in proper relative position.
The condition of having parts so adjusted.
The act of aligning or the condition of being aligned.

Luke 13:10-17 “The Cripple Woman Made Whole”

Here this woman had no name, there was no talk about her past life. All we know is that she had been bent over for 18 years and the Lord healed her of her infirmities.

Sometimes in life we can become so accustom to our condition that we accept it as the norm. We may not be physically bent over, but over a period of time our spirit man has become crippled on the inside and unable to lift itself up.

Psalm 119:133-136

“Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law”

Have you ever felt a little off balance or maybe a little discombobulated? To be honest I have felt that way recently. I didn’t really know where it was coming from, but I felt like I needed to get myself together. Some how regroup.

“Stepping away isn’t all bad, it’s when we continue to keep going and ignore the signs that we are in need of a fixing”

Just think if I would have waited longer to get my oil changed or not even gone to get my tires done. Thank the Lord that His grace is sufficient for us all.

OUT OF ALIGNMENT

The desire for companionship or the feeling of being alone
Clarity, not knowing where you are suppose to go or what you should be doing
A lack of interest, feeling disconnected
Unfocused
Life happens
Out of fellowship with Jesus Christ

These are just a few things that can cause us to become out of alignment with God, but the good news is that we can always get back in alignment with Him. We have to surrender our will to His.

John 15:5

“I am the vine, ye are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing”

Nothing can generate power unless it is connected to a power source. Even when something is generated by a battery, after awhile even it has to be recharged or it will die .

Not matter what goes on in your life make sure that you stay connected to the source.

“Order My Steps” special guest Tunesh Crispell

“You are worthless, you will never amount to anything, you will never be anybody special, you are no good, you are a failure, you mean nothing to me”

Those are some of the words we have heard in our life time. As we kept hearing them over and over again, we thought, it must be true. At some point we took those things in and gave up our power to be. Even when someone tried to tell us different we didn’t believe it because we had already posioned ourselves with those other negative thoughts and images. They came from people who were the closest to us, the people we loved and who we thought loved us in return. What we failed to realize is that the negative words they spoke over us were the things they felt about themselves. As long as they weakened others, in their own eyes they felt and remained “strong”. That’s not strength, that’s being a coward. True strength comes from being able to lift someone up, not by tearing them down. No one can take anything away from you unless you lay it down. You gave away your power and your strength. Well I have good news for you, today is a new day. Today is, “TAKE BACK MY POWER DAY”. You are not those ugly things they have said about you or to you. “You are priceless, you are somebody, you are going somewhere, your failures are making you into someone great, there is someone out there just for you, you are loved beyond measure”. Today transform your mind and replace the negative thoughts and images with postives ones and watch your life transform right before your eyes. Today is a good day to take another step forward. Reposition yourself. I BELIEVE in YOU. NOW YOU BELIEVE in YOURSELF.
