"Our Words Have Power"

6/14/2015

Question: Have any of you ever saw something that you spoke out or even thought of in your head and all of a sudden it actually happened in your life? Whether good or bad?

I ask this question because it shows us how powerful our words are. Like it says in the scripture Proverbs 18:21- "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit." This reminds us that whatever we speak will come to pass. If we speak life; fruitful and positive things will happen for us. If we speak death, negative things will happen in our lives.

For many of us it is easy to complain, gossip, talk negatively about our lives and find something wrong with everything. The moment we decide to change out mentality and our perspective, it will gradually begin to make us change our words; which will then begin to change our lives. When we speak with confidence, belief and trust in what we feel in our heart; it will come out and show in our life. Our words have power with people and circumstances, but we have to see are we using our words for good or for bad, to empower or to tear down. There is always a result for the words we speak.

If we are not happy with how our life is, lets look at ourselves and look at what we are doing about it. Are we speaking the right words over our life and over our situations. We have to look at what action and work are we putting in and towards our life. We cant just talk about it, but put action behind it. Like we say; we know a person by their fruit. So we have to ask ourselves sometime, what kind of fruit our we showing and do we have in our life?

The Challenge- for the next month, lets challenge ourselves to speak life over our situations, relationships, finances and our life in general. Lets see if we don't complain and speak positive words, if our life will begin to change.

Final Thought: we have the ability to change our attitude, mentality, the way we speak, the way we act, and even the way we respond to people and circumstances. That is called self-control. We are in control of ourselves, but ultimately God is in control of our lives if we allow Him to be. When we do our part, He will do His in our life. Lets continue to speak life. Our words are powerful and they can be used for impact and change; if we just believe.

God Bless

"Behind the Masks"

Intro Blog to Power of 5 Video Series- "Behind the Masks"

Video Series for May

I first want to take a moment to thank you to all those who watched the first power of 5 video series and/or read the blog for "You Were Made for This". I appreciate the support and the feedback that was given. I hope this next series blesses you just as much, if not even more.

The series for this month will be focused on the idea of: "Behind the Masks"! The reason this is the focus for the month because it was heavy on my heart a few months ago when looking at social media, reflecting on myself and talking to a few people; I realized how easy it is to hide behind a phone, social media and a smile.

When I think about "masks" I look at that as: a job, low self-esteem, a mentality, money, clothes, material things, saying your ok when your not and anything that allows you to hide how you truly feel and who you really are.

In this series, we will be breaking down different kind of masks that we may hide behind and how we can overcome those things, so that we can be set free and continue to move forward in our lives being content, satisfied, happy and true to one self.

One thing I realize is when I simply share my testimony and things I been through it allows transparency and realness to form with the people I am speaking to. I am learning not to be ashamed of my mistakes or the things I have been through. None of what I have gone through has broken me and I have no reason to be embarrassed, guilty or unsure of who I am today.

Thought: If we don't learn to love ourselves first, it will always be a challenge for others to love us. Be honest and transparent about you struggles or the things you deal with. You never know who you can be a witness to that can completely change and encourage someone else's life. Then when we allow ourselves to be open with our challenges in our lives, it allows the chains that the enemy wants to keep on us; off of us because we choose to keep our self free by sharing what we been through. You cant be bound when you are walking in freedom! We have to continue to speak life over our self and over our lives. There is power when we speak, so lets learn to speak what we want and what we destined to be and where we want to go. When you speak it, then believe it, then when you believe it; walk it out by applying it daily to your life.

Let’s journey together through this series and I pray all of our lives are changed and impacted in some way at the end of this. Just know you are not alone and there are people around you that are willing and wanting to go through life with you. We are in this together! If you have questions or comments throughout this series please feel free to contact me at any time.

Much love and God bless,

Bry Williams

"You Were Made For This"

Intro Blog to Video Series- “You Were Made For This”

Video Series for February

Welcome to the very first series of the year. I am excited to be bringing you a series each month for the year of 2015. My prayer and my hope is to hear testimonies of change, encouragement, hope and purpose driven passion, that will ignite each of you who sees this to continue towards your dreams and fulfill the visions that sit within you.

The series we will be focused on for this month is “You Were Made for This”! The purpose behind this is, I have heard many people I encounter and around whom at times feel hopeless, frustrated, confused and many times wanting to give up with life or things that may be going on in one’s life. With this simple idea of “You Were Made for This”, I am hoping that those who may feel like quitting, not understanding why life is the way it is, why the relationship isn’t going as planned, and whatever that negative feeling or idea you may feeling; will change after being a part of this.

I want to encourage you right now that everything you are going through is making you stronger whether you feel like it is or not. In moments of worry, doubt, stress, hurt, pain, and uncomfortability; you are being equipped and prepared for your future. Take every step of life as a learning process. Sometimes that process is not easy not enjoyable, but at the end when you made it through; you can stand up and say how those moments made you who you are.

Every day you wake up and experience life, you are building your life testimony. Your testimony will one day be shared with someone else to encourage them and motivate them that they too can get through it. Nothing is impossible. You are able to and will accomplish all that you want to in your life. You deserve nothing, but the best in life, but you have to put in the work to get it.

Thought: If you couldn’t handle what you are going through and the life you have been given, it would have never been given to you in the first place. You were given the cards you were dealt because you are the one that needed to go through the process. Yes, some of the things in life that are happening are because of choices we have made, but many of the other things is because that is just the journey of life that has come to us. So instead of being angry and mad about our life, situations, relationships, circumstances; let’s change our perspective and say thank you for my life no matter what. You can do it and you can get through it!

Let’s journey together through this series and I pray all of our lives are changed and impacted in some way at the end of this. Just know you are not alone and there are people around you that are willing and wanting to go through life with you. We are in this together! If you have questions or comments throughout this series please feel free to contact me at any time.

Much love and God bless,

Bry Williams

"Less Is More"

1/24/2015

2 Comments

The start of January 2015 has already been an interesting journey thus far. Not where I would like to be in many areas of my life, but I am realizing there is a reason to why I am where I am today. When I think of the idea of “less is more”, I think about how sometimes we have to decrease in some of the things in our lives, to gain an increase in our future. For example, currently I have lost my apartment, my car is having problems, finances are challenged, cell phone is cut off and a few other things have been taking place. Taking a look at my current situation, it can be very discouraging, but what I have done recently is looking at the potential why in this and how can I change my attitude and mentality in these moments.

One thing I realize is God had to put me in a place of true trust in Him and increase my faith to stand on and believe His word. He had to force me in a position to where there is nothing much more I can do than what I already have done and I have to keep putting my faith into action and believing in Him and Him alone; not others and not myself.

I feel like I am in a place where I am practically starting over. I realize I have to go through this process so I can step into the new and fresh season that’s coming. I was trying to hold on to my independence too much and sticking to what was comfortable. This has to be a season of dependency on the Lord and stepping out of my comfortable “boat” (like Peter), because all that I am faced with right now is preparing me for what is ahead.

The key things I know is needed for this season is: 1. Building a stronger relationship with my mom while caring for and supporting her fully as she goes through this battle journey for her health, 2. To fully trust God in every area of my life (including my finances), and 3. To reprioritize my life, while getting in a better position in my personal life and with my ministries.

This process is now beginning to encourage me, rather than discourage me. I have shed my tears, but now I am ready for what is ahead. I know that this is so much bigger than me. It gives me a chance to be with my mom, it is allowing me to save and get back on my feet, it’s allowing me to grow as I get ready to step up and out in the things ahead, forming my character, my faith, my leadership and it is daily building my testimony to share with others one day. At the end of it all, it is all going to give God the glory because He will be the main source on why everything turned around when that day comes.

“Less is more because, sometime we have to decrease for Jesus to continue to increase and for us to fully walk into the greatness and favor we have in our life. Our time is coming for breakthrough, abundance and overflow will come pouring into our life, keep the faith and never give up”!

Stepping Back to Move Forward!

12/12/2014

What do you think about when hear the statement, "For where your going and for the greatness that is coming your way; you have to take steps back to prepare you for what is to come." When I first heard that it threw me off, but made sense at the same time. To know that sometime for you to be launched to where your headed, you have to be pulled back.

Currently life has been very interesting for me the last few months. This particular season is what I am calling my "JOB" season. The reason I am calling it that is because I feel like everything in my life right now is being taken one thing at a time. It is a feeling I can't explain and the pain behind it at times makes it hard to understand, but three things I continue to hold on to is: my Faith, my Joy and my Peace. It doesn't make sense and at times I don't know what to do, but I trust that God will continue to do what it is He needs to do in my life and I will never turn my back on my Jesus.

I am realizing that in this moment in life, its a choice to stay positive and remain hopeful no matter what it may look like. It is definitely hard to keep a perspective like that, but what I realize is it allows you to keep a peace that no person can give you.

There are a few points that stand out to me in this season and things that must take place to get through it: 1. Keep Learning, 2. Don't Quit, 3. Keep Seeking God, and 4. Obey. Point one is because there is always something we are suppose to be learning when we are going through things in life; good or bad, we must always ask the question: "What should I be learning or gaining from this?" Point two is significant so that we always know that we need to persevere and push through. When we endure through, it allows us to appreciate the blessing that much more. Then when we become victorious, it allows God to get all the glory because it was all Him that got us through. If we quit we will never know what we could of have and where we could be.

Point three is the key. The moment we try and do it on our own, then God no longer can be in control because we took the driver seat from Him. When we allow ourselves to keep seeking Him no matter what for wisdom, knowledge, understanding, clarity, direction, joy, or whatever it is we are standing in prayer for; it allows God to be God and He will show up and provide. Finally point four. Once God shows us and makes it clear to us or tells us what to do, then all we have to do in put in action and obey what He has asked. When we obey, He does the rest. We have to realize that all these things start with us first.

Reflection Moment: no matter how hard this moment may be for me, I wont give up. I will trust God no matter what. Even if I lose everything and He wants me to start over, that is just what I will have to do. I don't understand all of this, but I know later on it will be revealed why I have to go through this process. I do know one thing, that these moments are building my testimony and that what I am going through is not just for me, but to witness and encourage someone else one day!

Signed,

Uglybeyoutifulme presents Coach Bry's "Lifestyle of Purity" Testimony!

9/16/2014

Coach Bry sharing her purity testimony for the ministry: "Uglybeyoutifulme". Check them out on Facebook.

Topic Question was:

Do you have a sexual integrity story and or testimony that you would like to share to encourage and strengthen others? Sexual integrity struggles you may have and how God is helping you to overcome them. Why you are choosing to wait to have sex until you are married. Purity and your standards for sexual integrity.

Meet Bryana Williams, a proud 26 year old virgin. Read her story:

First thing I will share is that living a life of purity is not easy, but with God, walking in obedience, realizing the bigger picture and knowing it is doable and worth it.... I am now 26 years old and I am still a virgin. My ultimate goal is to keep my value in The Lord and how He sees me and holding myself for my husband until marriage. Being a virgin and living in purity is not easy. I come from teenage years of low self-esteem, not knowing my worth, lacking confidence, not loving myself and feelings rejected. I had to learn to love myself first and knowing who I am in God. Then learn to not people please, but please God only. Does temptation come? Yes. Do you desire to be loved affectionately and physically? Yes. But the things that has sustained and motivated me is my love for God my willingness and submission to want to be obedient and please God first and His commands for my life, my desire to see my marriage, family and life be blessed, to know that my husband can say he has been my only one and I can know he has been my first.

The temporary satisfaction for a moment of pleasure is not more important to me, than a lifetime of blessings, rewards and knowing that I am pleasing my Lord because I did it His way and held my worth in His hand instead of a man's hands! I encourage those who want or desire to live a life of purity to try it. It is a challenge at times, but it is capable. With appropriate boundaries, goals and expectations that you want to hold yourself too you can make it through. Praying for those who read this and wanting to give their life to the Lord in all areas. Just know you’re not alone and when you feel like quitting don’t!

Don't worry about the past and let that hold you back or be an excuse on why you think you can't. If you make a mistake don't let that keep you there, repent and keep moving forward and make appropriate changes.

You can do it!

"Leadership Lived Out"

7/30/2014

Leader - A guiding or directing head, as of an army, movement or political group (Dictionary.com).

Leadership - The position or function of a leader, a person who guides or directs a group (Dictionary.com).
Let’s take a moment to think about who follows us and who do we follow? These are questions to be asked if we are in a leadership role or if we have someone that leads us in our life. Being a leader we must know someone is always watching. Let’s make sure people are seeing the change, transparency and reality of our life. Leadership is not about the words, it is about the actions of our everyday life. We should be acting and doing things in our life that encourages, inspires, and empowers others to want to follow us and at the end of the day become better themselves. Having people watch and follow us, should force us as leaders to always live a life of accountability. We should always be checking our actions and words before we do act and do.

Being a leader is not easy, but we are all capable of being a great impact and a great leaders. Here are some applicable ways for us to be effective leaders:

Lead others as you would want someone to lead you. Be loyal, honest, trustworthy and consistent. Always want to see others grow and get better.
Become a reader and researcher. Knowledge is power. The more you know and more you learn, the more wisdom you can share with others.
Lead others with patience. Realizing that everyone has their own process and it may take others longer to get some things and to learn from their mistakes. Just keep loving and helping them through it all.
Lead by example and stay teachable. Be the person you want to teach others to become.
