Appreciate Small Beginnings

Yesterday as I was preparing to put up a video, I noticed that I had two new subscribers. My first two, to be exact. Even though, one was my son, I am thankful and excited.

Humbled, I cherish the little things. As it is written, "Who [with reason] despises the day of small things (beginnings)? For these seven [eyes] shall rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. They are the eyes of the LORD which roam throughout the earth." (Zechariah 4:10, AMP)

Even the LORD, in all his majesty, rejoices in this. As I continued to read from 1 Kings 20, I recognize the utterance given.

KIng Ben-hadad was coming against the king of Israel. Ahab conceded to his initial demands. Willing to give up silver and gold. Besides his wives and children.

Consequently, because Ahab was willing to give up without a fight (for the sake of peace), Ben-hadad then changed the terms of the agreement. Wanting more. This is an epiphany for me.

Ahab knew that if he allowed this, Ben-hadad would pillage the land and there would never be an authentic truce. Ahab was being oppressed.

Ben-hadad even bragged before Ahab gave him a prophetic warning concerning his arrogance.

Albeit at one point, the army of Israel was described as two flocks of goats. While Syria's army "filled the country".

But God!!!

Although small, it is God who fought for them. All they had to do was believe. What is imperative, is that when Ahab asked, who shall begin the battle, the prophet commanded by the LORD, that Ahab would.

In order to be successful, to invoke the blessings of God, we must trust Him and His will for our lives. The circumstances may seem dire. The enemy may hover over us like a Goliath. Looking to destroy us. But even in that battle, David ran to meet him.

Our faith is shown in action.

I told my youngest son and daughter that I was thankful for the two subscribers. Truly blessed. Saying that some would say, I have hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even over a million. Nevertheless, I welcome my small beginnings.

I will Not Waiver

Why? Because this is something that the LORD is building with and through me. One to one. The ultimate Source, providing me with unlimited resources. I am enjoying the time that we spend in intimate fellowship.

Now don't get me wrong, my flesh rises up and I may get discouraged. I don't internalize it. I will not allow the world's expectations or criticism to overwhelm me. To make me feel less than.

I know the promises that God has for me. Plans to prosper me. Likewise, I am never concerned of wealth and materialism.

When you have survived and thrived in spite of, you are prepared for the sun and the rain. If you have weathered the storms with the right mindset. Or at least striving to conquer those thoughts that are contrary to walking in the Spirit. Even though you may lose some things, you trust that Jesus is making room for bigger things.

I have tested and will test God and know that He will open up the windows of heaven and pour out for me such great blessings. I will not have room enough to receive them.

Because he is preparing my heart, the overflow will bless others.

I know that He is, my everything!!!

  Don't Profane What is Holy!!! People are committing all sorts of immoral lusts against their bodies. Marrying and in homosexual, bisexual, and polygamous relationships. Truly believing that you can indulge in lasciviousness and see God's face in peace. The worst part is that you are bringing innocent children into the equation. Allowing them to be taunted and scarred by brutal indifference. While exposing them to one of the most demonically, sinister, and perverse entities that walk this earth. A spirit that is so degenerate, it will and has led to bestiality and worse. Now I need you to read or listen to this at least three times. Some may be offended. But because you are leading to the corruption of the innocent. While mocking God when you know that it is wrong. Judgment will be swift and merciless. You have rejected God!!! Did you get that? Because when you sin against your own body. This is a specialized kind of self-hate. Birthed through mental, emotional, psychological,

  Don't Worry About Nothing!!! Can I tell you that when you are fretful, allowing someone to "trigger" you. You open yourself up to spiritual distress. Unnecessary persecution from the enemy. Frustrating your spiritual balance. Sending you into mental and emotional chaos. You allow the adversary to rule over your thoughts and emotions. The negative effects are compounded by a slow spiritual and mental recovery. Every time you allow this, it is harder to heal, robbing you of the ability to exercise faith in God's Word. You must remember that we are more than conquerors. Stop and see this ambush for what it is. Speak the affirmations of God's Word. This is why Philippians 4:8 admonishes us, "Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God's Word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, i

  Spiritual Warfare is Not a Game!!! This will resonate with those who have a true anointing over their lives. Now more than ever I understand that we truly are in spiritual warfare. God's presence is so powerful that people will tend to remove themselves from your company. Recognize that you need to put on the full armor of God. This can only be attained through intimacy with Him. Meditating in His Word. People say that they want to know God and have a relationship with Him. But can you handle the isolation that comes with this? Malevolent spirits are aware of you, and they will shun you. Or worse. Trust me when I say that even if the person does not know you, the spirit that dwells within them knows when you are of God. You must remain humble as you become more aware of this phenomenon. Because the flesh fights within you every day to be exalted and recognized. Pride is malignant and cancerous. Remember. Spiritual warfare is incarnate and irrefutable.  Cassandra Mack Podcast (spo
