Smith, August 2011, to provide a safe space for Men who serve GOD and needed a place to decompress the stress of Ministry. Thursday Morning Thunder(TMT) became a haven of transparency and support for brothers to share the triumphs and challenges of their walk with JESUS the CHRIST! What began as teleconference to help brothers become better men, better, fathers, sons, husbands, or just stand-up me

Wake up to what is going on around you and evaluate how you are being changed by it. It is vital to keep your relationship with Me as being primary because it is so easy to be distracted. Your spiritual vitality will produce a true outcome. Be strong and of good courage and refuse to be molded by any other image but Mine, says the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

This is a time for change. Evaluate where you are and where you want to be, and I will show you the way. When you feel like an outcast, know that you are precious to Me, and I will make a way where there seems to be no way. Be sensitive to My leading, says the Lord. Psalm 34:18 The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.

The decisions you make now will have far-reaching consequences, so be careful in what you choose to do. You will have a tendency want to move on quickly without giving proper attention and consideration to your decisions. Ask Me for wisdom, says the lord. Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.

These are difficult days, so you must guard against allowing others to get you down through tearing you down. Do the best you can with what you have and what you have been called to do and leave the rest to Me, says the Lord. It is a difficult task to try to be all things to all people. Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

I see your heart, and I know that you are feeling a little disoriented. World conditions and the tragedy of man's inhumanity to man is disconcerting to say the least, but you must find your place of peace and safety in Me, says the Lord. Your strength comes from your relationship with Me as you walk in spiritual reality. Make a difference where you can by extending kindness to others.

Ephesians 4:32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you.

Look up and remind yourself of redemption. It cost you nothing, but it cost Jesus everything. Treat your personal redemption as the most valuable thing that you have. It is easy to take it for granted, so take time to be thankful. 1 Peter 1:18-19 Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

Stay within your parameters so that you do not overextend. Follow My leading in all things, and refuse to allow others to talk you into doing things that are not right for you to do. Listen for My still small voice to lead, guide, direct, and protect you, says the Lord. I will be with you and help you along the way. John 10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

Take this time for quiet contemplation so that you can sort out what actually needs to be done from what you would like to be done. Never forget that I will show you the way when you quiet your soul and listen for My still small voice, says the Lord. Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!
