Seed

FOR NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD!
Luke 1:37

Winding down for the evening as thoughts of tomorrow keep pressing me. I get this knot in my stomach when stuff is just so off.

I want everything to be in place.

I want joy.

I want peace.

I want things to work out and not have to be so out of reach for me.

I can’t have one thing run good and let it stay that way without any other friction surfacing at the same time.

Today I got my first seed for “Rise Above Adversity!” My second book release. I waited all day for this book to come in yesterday from Amazon—finally to see it live! So I ordered this special copy for myself intended to keep it.

When the book arrives last night and I examine it, the book is smaller than Rebuilt. I said, “Wow, it’s beautiful but I can’t sell this for $20!!!” And my husband said “Don’t worry —yes you can. It is not about the size of the book but the content that is in it.” So I asked our administrator too (lol) and he said “It’s fine, people will buy it but if you feel like to change it then whatever.”

I am walking around with the book and when we got to a second church to preach as a guest in New Jersey, a man begged me for MY BOOK!!! I’m like, “NO! This is my copy.” He said “I am not leaving without that book I need it!” I said “Okay fine …” I hand him the book and he gave me folded money. He was super happy. I just threw it in my bag. A few minutes later I look and I am like this is a $20 bill but I come to see it is $50!!!!! The Spirit told me, “Don’t put a price on that book! It is a seed!” 😱😱 Glory to Jesus 🙏🏽🙌🏽

A seed! Both things happen to the seed…. it gets buried in the ground and also planted. The burying part is the rough part. Because you see nothing. Even the seed is covered. It’s dark, dirty and deep within so no one can see. You would think that this is OVER FOR THE SEED!

Nope! It is just being planted when it gets buried that deep. We always go through both simultaneously. The bad and the good. Except the good is really going to be amazing. For just when things look impossible….. they are possible. For it is only for a moment and a temporary time that the seed is buried unseen!

The deeper it is buried and with the right soil (our care of the Word) it is going to sprout to be such a harvest! It is possible. God says, IMPOSSIBLE means that IM POSSIBLE!!!

Huge note to self….

I am just writing to myself here once again.

May every doubt be canceled! I must believe–nothing is impossible for my God.

Let go of the doubt Chris, when it tries to bury you fast. It’s going to be a harvest! Have faith!

This seed is my harvest.


New Release: RISE Above Adversity

I am super excited to release my new book, “Rise Above Adversity: Where Declaration Becomes Destiny!” Available now through Amazon.

A bittersweet moment for me as this day was not an easy one. We always face adversity. We live through it and we dance in it. But what I am most proud of this particular piece is that it is a dedication to our entire family.

I invite you to celebrate with me and also into a very personal place within our family. It is natural for us to go through all these natural feelings but what we do find is that God gives us the power to rise through it in a supernatural way!

There is nothing ordinary about this story. Just pure adversity, time and time again. We learn to adjust the same way I know you can relate when you are forced to do life in a whole different way.

To the family and legacy of Pastor Tony Mendez.

My dear husband Juan Mendez.

My sweet sister-in-law Cristina Mendez.

And to the mom that raised these gladiators, we honor you Rev. Nelly Montalvo! ♥️


IM-POSSIBLE

img_1558In the Bible the word impossible is referenced only 9 times. Not much.  Other words are mentioned hundreds of times, such as FAITH 🙏🏼, HOPE ⚓ and LOVE 💙…

I can’t even count how many times that IMPOSSIBLE has ran through my mind. Probably reaching up to an infinite number at this point! Just being honest! That is the first natural thought that runs through, given the many trying situations!

But if God mentioned impossible a few times, we should get the drift to note “IM POSSIBLE!” The Great I AM …. it is possible with God!

What? ALL THINGS!!!
