Coffee Talk with Linda Davis

In 2017 God said all year long "watch me move" and now heading into 2018 He is saying "you have watched me move all year long NOW it is time to move with me." #LET'S GO! We can't be a people pleaser (even to ourselves) and be obedient to the difficult things God asks/requires of us. I can't think of one biblical example of obedience stepping and faith building that did not come at a hefty but rewarding price to those involved. There will always be someone unhappy with your obedience, ALWAYS! You just have to be sure the direction your heading in is the direction God is leading you then be sure to step with Him in the moment. We can't move ahead (something we've all done) and we can't linger behind (something we've all done.) I think because we've heard about Abraham's faith journey so much we have become numb to the actual level of requirement God placed on Abraham and the level of difficulty and stretching it took from ...

We read in 1st Corinthians 13:8 that “love never fails” yet we see relationships fail, sever, and become distant all around us. We thought  there was love in the relationship? T he scripture says "love never fails"? So, what happened? The true love of Jesus Christ himself was not functioning in the relationship or it would not have failed. The law of love that Jesus himself showed was that He was willing to go to the cross and die on our behalf—while we were yet sinners as Romans 5:8 tells us this truth that He loved us in our flaws--this, this is true love. This was one of my favorite scriptures when I first started walking in the things of the Lord. To grasp that while we weren't even thinking of the Lord he was thinking of us to the point of death so we could have freedom to ascend to the throne of God in purity of fellowship to the place of restoration as Adam and Eve in fellowship directly with God, walking in the cool of the morning with nothing hidden, no shame, no...

Nothing God asks of us is without purpose. No matter the path, no matter the sacrifice, no matter the risks involved to us personally a heart that responds with "NEVERTHELESS" is the heart God is looking for. Proverbs 19:21 tells us that many are the plans in a man's heart but nevertheless it is the counsel of the Lord that stands, the purposes of the Lord that will stand. I want to encourage you this morning to remain yielded to the purposes God is calling you to, remain yielded with a resounding "nevertheless" coming from your heart and your mind and your actions. "Nevertheless" yields a blessing, "nevertheless" yields a harvest for the Kingdom of God, there are souls waiting on your "nevertheless." I was quickened in prayer this morning to when the young girl Mary was being told by the angel Gabriel that there was a great purpose God was calling her to and requiring of her. She didn't understand how anything Gabriel w...

We are in a FAITH, FAVOR and TERRITORY taking moment! God has been saying all year to watch Him move, now in these last three months of the year we respond with "WE ARE MOVING WITH YOU" Jabez cried out to God in 1 Chronicles 4:10...we cry out right now with passion, with desperation, with hunger, we cry, we don't just ask BUT we cry out for the blessings of God, we cry out for new territory and even a taking back of territory, we ask God's hand of favor to be with us as we step and move in the new territory, as we advance we thank God for keeping all negative words and even harmful mindsets of our own that would hinder us from advancement and we thank God that He is granting our request, He is agreeing to and carrying out what we are petitioning His very throne for---it is done, it is granted. Invite God in to bless you, rely on Him as your sole source. He is the one who will bless you indeed! Choose to rely on Him for the territory you're stepping into. He...

God is inviting us to trust Him with our desires and to align our hearts with His heart for the fulfillment of all He desires us to walk in. Allow Him to AWAKEN you to a deeper level  Allow Him to RESTORE you Desires in our heart are not there to torment us but to cause us to hunger for more of God Desires in our heart are there to cause us to pursue God at a greater level Allow Him to FULFILL that place in your heart that was intended for only Him. When we give God the place intended for Him we release others from undue pressure we have placed on them to fill God's spot When we give God the place intended for Him that, in turn, brings more pleasure and enjoyment in all our other relationships Don't shut down your heart toward God when you've been hurt by someone or disappointed by circumstances but INSTEAD turn it toward God, let Him heal your heart and watch the abundant fruit flow in your life from that place of healing.

Jesus is not a Peacekeeper but yet the bible calls Him the "Prince of Peace". Truthfully, He was offensively bold, just ask the Pharisees and Sadducees. He confronted things. He addressed wrong mindsets AND wrong actions. He also called out the judgmental people who were quick to point fingers at others and refusing to look at themselves. Jesus looked for and desired repentance and holiness from His followers. He went straight for the heart. Jesus never told anyone things that were out of line were "ok." Jesus himself said in Matthew 10:34-36 "Do no suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth, I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." Jesus is saying here that He did not come to bring peace but division, if you read further on in Matthew 10 what He was saying is His truth will cause people to "dis-align" with one another. In other words, when we begin to walk in and talk in the truth of Jesus it invites conflict into our closest rel...

In light of this weekend's events I wanted to post about all the happenings in Charlottesville, VA. I believe in no way does the "rally" hosted by this group represent your average American white person. Most people (of all different ethnic backgrounds)  I know don't even see color in a person and that's how it should be. I am grieved that we have this mindset is even in existence in America STILL today. I am grieved that anyone lost their lives in protest of this events. I know as  Christian brothers and sisters God created us different BUT also equal. I know as Christians it is imperative for us to ban together in this season more than ever instead of allowing the enemy to pull us apart based on cultural differences. My weaknesses are supposed to be covered by your strengths and your weaknesses are supposed to be covered by my strengths. When we can truly see this and embrace this we are better equipped for the harvest before us and the labor that will be ...
