My Thoughts Toward You

 You may not feel like you fit the mold. Maybe you don’t go to church every Sunday. Maybe religion never made much sense to you. But there’s something inside you that still believes God is real. Still hopes He hasn’t forgotten you. Still wonders if there's a place for you in all of this.

There is.

The Kingdom of God was never about building a club for the perfect. It was never about getting the bad to act good. It was always about bringing the dead back to life. Those whose hope died. Whose years were stolen. Whose joy was buried. Whose strength ran out.

The heart of God is not against you. It burns for you.

From the beginning, God has always had one desire: to dwell with His people in love, peace, freedom, and abundance. In Eden, He walked with man. In the Promised Land, He promised rest. In Christ, He brought the Kingdom that can never be shaken. The story hasn’t changed—just the chapters.

Isaiah 61 says He came for the poor, the brokenhearted, the captives, and the prisoners. He came to comfort those who mourn and to give beauty for ashes. He came to give back what the locusts stole and restore what was lost. He came to establish you, to make you a pillar that never has to leave His presence again.

That’s the will of God.

His thoughts toward you are not of punishment, but of peace. Not of judgment, but of joy. His intention has always been to bring you into a place where you can breathe again. A place of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. A place with homes you didn’t build and vineyards you didn’t plant—where you finally get to rest and live.

That’s what Jesus came to give. Not a new religion, but a new life.

And with that life comes freedom. Freedom from fear. Freedom from shame. Freedom from worrying about what others think. In Christ, you are accepted—not tolerated, not conditionally loved, but fully accepted.

"To the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved." (Ephesians 1:6)

If you’ve ever felt too far, too messed up, too outside—you are exactly the one He came for. You are the target of Heaven.

Come home.

God already made the way. And He’s still saying:

“I know the thoughts I think toward you, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

That future is now. The door is open.

Welcome to the Kingdom.

Breaking the Lock and Key: A Call to Transformation

  1. Introduction: The Invisible Chains of Conformity “Do not be conformed to the image of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). This verse is not just a spiritual call—it’s a radical challenge to every system that seeks to mold us into something we’re not. Conformity, whether to cultural norms or religious rules, often feels inevitable. Yet, it can trap us in a cycle of dependency, where access to fulfillment, purpose, or salvation seems locked away by those in power. But there is another way. Transformation through the renewing of the mind is the antidote to conformity—a pathway to reclaiming the freedom Christ offers. To break free, we must recognize how the "lock and key" dynamic operates in the world around us. 2. The "Lock and Key" of Cultural Conformity The Chains of Expectation: From the moment we enter the world, we’re handed a script: achieve success, accumulate wealth, look perfect, and conform to society's defini...

🔐You Are Mine

There are few things more powerful than being seen —truly, deeply seen. And there are few words more affirming than the ones God speaks in Isaiah 43:1: “But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art Mine.” This verse hits with the force of a knockout punch. It’s God stepping in and declaring: “I don’t care what you’ve been through. I don’t care what name you’ve answered to. I don’t care what’s tried to claim you—I ALREADY DID. YOU. ARE. MINE.” Let’s break it down. Jacob vs. Israel: Who You Were vs. Who You’ve Become God doesn’t just call one name in this verse—He calls two. Jacob and Israel. This isn’t accidental; this is intentional. 🔹 Jacob (Ya‘aqov - יַעֲקֹב) means supplanter, deceiver, heel-grabber. Jacob was the struggler, the one who grasped at what wasn’t his, the man who schemed his way through life. His name was tied to his flaws, his past, his reputati...

🔥 Resurrection Side

There is something I’ve been recognizing over the last few days. Many believers are still trying to get God to move, still striving to become accepted, still attempting to fulfill through effort what Christ already fulfilled through His death and resurrection. We say, “It is finished,” but often live as though everything still depends on us finishing it. The New Testament does not teach us to strive toward what Christ accomplished. It teaches us to live from what He accomplished. From this side of the resurrection. From Kingdom side. From being raised with Christ. From our lives being hidden with God in Christ. From being seated together with Him in heavenly places. From the right hand of the Father, far above all principality and power. This changes everything. Because the posture is no longer: “How do I get God to move?” The posture becomes: “How do I live from what God has already revealed in Christ?” That is a completely different mindset. Many of us are still trying to approach Go...
