DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 15 “Knowledge Is Empowerment”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 15 “Knowledge Is Empowerment”

Meditative Thought: Ever since I was a little boy, this question, “Who am I and why am I here” has been in my consciousness. From an early age, I have been on a quest to bring meaning to my life. The more I study, the more I realize how much I don’t know. Our spiritual inquiry is a journey that requires continual exploration. When we remain humble and teachable, we allow expansion of our consciousness and we create the room to grow. This is known as the “Beginner’s Mind.”

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, create a space for study. Set the intention to make time daily to learn more. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to find your sacred study material: one book, manuscript, or pamphlet that resonates with your soul. Decide when and where you will study on a daily basis. Set your divine appointment; create a calendar reminder in your phone, computer, or your pad. This is an appointment you don’t want to miss.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am here to express God. And so it is. Amen.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 14 “Faith Empowers Your Vision”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 14 “Faith Empowers Your Vision”

Meditative Thought: “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things unseen.” – Hebrews 11:1. We might not always see the vision or our intentions unfolding in front of us, but we must keep the faith that it is happening. Remembering to keeping the faith active is the ultimate empowerment. All things are possible if you only believe. Believing is the knowing that your life is unfolding perfectly, and that you are here for a reason. Your life’s purpose is to share your gifts with this planet and faith gives your vision power. Today, know that you have purpose because you are alive; therefore faith is the key that activates your every move.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today is the day of faith building. Remind yourself, every chance you get, that you have purpose. Remind yourself that your life is a purposeful life because you exist. God makes no junk; therefore you have purpose. Live your life as if your intention is done.

Affirmation: Just for this moment… just for this breath, I give birth to my greatest yet to be seen. And so it is.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 11 “Daily Empowerment”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 11 “Daily Empowerment”

Meditative Thought: In a world that is based on getting ahead by working hard, we must remember the truth: There is something bigger than us, something that is all-powerful, running the show. Yes, we are responsible for co-creating our lives, but God is the source of this power. As we look at our accomplishments, our to-do lists, our relationships, it is very easy to think that we are in control, but there is a Universal force that works within our soul. It is this Presence that makes all things happen. Make time for a daily reminder: Everything that we are and that we do come from the Universe. We are one in God and in God there is infinite possibilities. Every moment you remember this is a moment of true empowerment.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, make a list of everything that empowers your consciousness. Study this list and know its empowering effects. List those practices that resonate within your soul. Set the intention to up-level your awareness. Dive into and commit to your sacred time with God. Remember that power comes from the Universe; we only need to recognize it. Set aside time to practice. This is the most important element of empowerment.

Affirmation: Just for this moment… just for this breath, I am one with God. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 10 “The Positive Power”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 10 “The Positive Power”

Meditative Thought: A positive attitude is what I call “Positive Power.” The energy you that you align your intention with is key. Keeping a positive attitude will give you the power that makes all things happen. Positive Power energizes your goals and keeps you focused on a day-to-day base. Our emotions are connected to our existence. The vibrations we send out help or hinder our personal growth. Gratitude is the foundation of Positive Power. Be grateful for this time. Understand that gratitude is a divine quality of the Universe; therefore Positive Power is God in action.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today set the intention to only participate in positive interaction. Be mindful of your words. Only speak words that inspire your life.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am inspired. I stand in gratitude and empower my intentions with Positive Power. And so it is.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 9 “Words That Empower”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 9 “Words That Empower”

Meditative Thought: Your language and thinking is key for your personal empowerment. Be aware of negative thoughts entering into your mind. As soon as you are aware of the negative thoughts, use an affirmation to help you shift your thinking. Affirmations help to expand your consciousness and subconscious, allowing the super-consciousness to empower your existence. Align your intentions with affirmative language, creating the most effective and ideal atmosphere primed for transformation.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, affirm yourself with a mantra that speaks the truth of your existence. Mindfully speak the words until you have feel empowered, until you are anchored firm in the awareness of the power of God. Write an affirmation that you can believe, one that will help you to stay focused. “I am one with the Divine power, and my highest good is unfolding perfectly,” is a simple affirmation with effective power. Set your clock, watch, or phone alarm for 6am, 12 noon, and 6pm, as a reminder to say your affirmation. Take the time to journal you experience.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am one with the Divine Power, and my highest good is unfolding perfectly. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 4 “Empowering the World”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 4 “Empowering the World”

Meditative Thought: When we understand that our life has purpose because we are living, we begin to live a purposeful life. From this awareness we will see our life vision. We will take part in what God has called us to do. My Friends, you are the tool the Universe has chosen to bring forth new and amazing ideas for this planet. Only you can complete the calling. As you begin to activate and participate in your divine gifts, you will empower the world. You will inspire everyone you meet to be the best they can be.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, decide how you will inspire the world to greatness. Set the intention to empower your community. It only takes one person to start a chain reaction. It does not have to be a big act; it can be the smallest thing, like picking up a piece of litter. But if this act is filled with big intentions, it will set the world on fire. Remember, you are the spark.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I bring forth great and new ideas. I am the spark of eternal fire that transforms this planet. And so it is.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 3 “Self-Esteem to Empowerment”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 3 “Self-Esteem to Empowerment”

Meditative Thought: I once heard a spiritual leader say, “If you are looking for self-esteem, do estimable acts.” I believe there is a more expansive way of understanding that principle. Self-esteem comes from an awareness of who and what you are, which then leads to participating in estimable acts. When we see our true divine self and recognize our oneness in the Universe, our overall consciousness is elevated; we begin to love ourselves, and this in turns leads to admirable action. Everything we do come from the knowing of who we are and that is true empowerment.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, define what self-esteem mean to you. Make a list of all the things that you can do to elevate your awareness that you truly are. Prayer and meditation are at the top of the list for connecting with your divine self. Choose one task, small or great, it does not matter. While you are participating in that assignment, remember who and what you are. Remind yourself that ‘you do because you are;’ not the reverse. At the end of the day, journal about your experience.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I recognize my self-esteem comes from my connection with God. And so it is, and so I let it be.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 2 “The Questions That Empower”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 2 “The Questions That Empower”

Meditative Thought: Here are the questions to ask yourself daily: “How can I love more deeply?” “How can I show more compassion?” “Where can I be more of service?” “What can I do to share more love?” True empowerment comes from sharing our divine gifts. When we ask these question, the answer will be revealed to us, and when we take action, empowerment comes. When we share God, there is an energy that explodes within our hearts and we begin to radiate a vibration that inspires others.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, ask the question that empowers your soul. Take the time to contemplate and cultivate the question, “How can I serve today?” When you get the answer, be willing to step out and do it. Journal your experience and your “ah-ha!” moments, allowing your journal to be a log of your transformation.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I love more, I am more, I share more God. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 27 “The Power to Stay the Course”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 27 “The Power to Stay the Course”

Meditative Thought: What keeps you on track? What practice of discipline helps you to not give up the vision? I believe there is a source of power that elevates your energy and allows the right action to take place. There is an authority within you that fuels all your intentions, creating the desire to do the work that is required. We must turn to that energy when the life journey gets to be too much and we feel like giving up. We must anchor ourselves in that power to see us through. We have caught the vision and have been called forth to see it manifest. Connect with God that lives within you; it will continue even when we cannot. It is an inexhaustible source; we do not have to be in need to tap into it. You have it within you now. Recognize a power greater than yourself that makes all things happen.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, simply stay with it. Continue with your practice no matter what.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am on track fueled by God’s love. Amen.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 26 “What Is Your Truth?”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 26 “What Is Your Truth?”

Meditative Thought: What is your reality? What is your truth? Whatever you say or claim is the stamp you place on your existence. Are you weak or strong? Are you rich or poor? Are you an outcast or a child of God? Are you sick or walking in divine healing? Do not confuse what is truly real with your experiences. The only thing that is real is God and the omnipresence of the Holy Spirit. Remember, sickness can never be your reality; it is only an experience. The reality is that your spirit is whole and complete, active in divine love. Today, only speak reality into your existence.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, speak your truth. Claim what you are. If you don’t believe it, say it anyway until you do!

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am whole and complete and full of vitality. And so it is! Amen
