Dr. Anita McLaughlin -- A M Ministries, Inc.

The air is thin where eagles fly and everyone can not go there.

While we attempt to prepare ourselves for some of the external issues we may face, I want to take a little time and address some potential issues within-- for Jesus Christ is the author and finisher of our faith. 

God never allows us to remain weak, the word says, "where you are weak, that is where I will make you strong"-- get ready to be strengthened.

In order to move and be elevated in the things of God, we must be ready to face what we have or do not have within (both good and not-so-good).  We must look critically at ourselves, for there may be areas in which adjustments must be made.  Begin to evaluate your integrity as never before.

- Are you trustworthy-- can a Leader count on you or can someone follow you?

- Is your word true-- are you steadfast and unmovable when you give your word? 

- Do you need a "babysitter"-- are you mature enough to follow-through? 

- Are you quick to promise and equally as quick to go back on the promise? 

- Are you self-seeking, do you habitually start out an assignment with the question what’s in it for me-- or how can I use this for my own advancement?

- In completing a task, how dependent on others are you, can you follow instructions? 

- Have you learned to eat meat, or do you still need milk-- are you growing concurrently to the word of God you have received?

- Have you evaluated your "fruit" the word says "you will know the tree by its fruit." Does your life give a true representation of who you really are? 

- Are you dependable?

- How is your temperament, do you fly-off-of-the-hook easily (are you known for speaking your mind)?

- Are you overly-sensitive (are you a cry-baby), fearful, critical of others, impatient, or too direct? 

- Have you learned Spiritual Authority (you must be UNDER authority before you can be IN authority)? 

- Are you getting in the way of your own advancement because you push too hard, or don't motivate yourself at all?

- Is everything that doesn't turn out the way you wanted-- someone else's fault? 

- Do you arrive early or are you the last one in-- bringing up the rear?

- Do you move out when you hear the voice of the Lord, or do you sit and wait for someone to push you out?

- Are your responsibilities in service to others increasing or decreasing (are you being promoted or demoted)?

- Do you work "as unto the Lord" -- do you look at each task like you were submitting it to Jesus Christ himself?

- What are your goals? Are you planning on using the things you are learning, or is this simply a phase you are going through? 

- Do you really know that you are called AND chosen-- for many are called, few are chosen? 

I want to challenge each and everyone of you, to not only read this but do the work.  Look at yourself, judge yourself, (if you judge yourself, you will not be judged) and answer these questions about yourself.

I will be conducting Seminars soon and hope to see you there.

So in the mean time... let's lift each other in prayer, set our faces like flint toward the future and rest now, for when it is day no man can rest,  as the Army of the Lord we must be ready to move out.

Hey, I'm just saying "the air is thin where eagles fly and everyone can't go there".
