If God Brought You To It, God's WILLING & ABLE To Bring You Through It ! You can go ahead and praise God in advance! All the days of the afflicted are evil, But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast. [regardless of circumstances]! (Proverbs 15:15) Many evils confront the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all! (Psalm 34:19) Giving Thanks Always! for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; (Ephesians 5:20) Not that I am implying that I was in any personal want, for I have learned how to be content (satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or disquieted) in whatever state I am. (Philippians 4:11) So often, many focus on what they have and forget who they are in Christ! The two are not related at all what we have (or don't have) has nothing to do with who we are! The Word says that we are kings and priests and so it is! Solomon wrote, in Proverbs 15:15, "a merry heart has a continual feast!" But w...

Christ has freed us so that we may enjoy the benefits of freedom. Therefore, be firm [in this freedom], and don't become slaves again! (Galatians 5:1) If the Son sets you free, you will be absolutely free! (John 8:36) You Will Know The Truth, And The Truth Will Set You Free! (John 8:32) Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. (Joshua 1:8) As we read and meditate on God's Word, we sow seeds into our life that gives us the ability to live a lifestyle of freedom, each and every day! However, just knowing the “Truth” is not enough, but, in order to live a life of freedom every day, we must actively and purposely declare God’s Word. The scripture tells us, “a body that doesn't breathe is dead. In the same way faith that does nothing is dead.” (James 2:26) For that reason, we must apply the Word of God to every situation and believe the L...

Keep Your Head Up, Strength Will Come! I look up to the mountains; does my strength come from mountains? No, my strength comes from God, who made heaven, and earth, and mountains. (Psalm 121:1-2) God is our place of safety. He gives us strength, always ready to help in times of trouble! (Psalm 46:1) The Strength Of Those Who Wait With Hope In The LORD Will Be Renewed! They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and won't become weary. They will walk and won't grow tired! (Isaiah 40:31) "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you!” So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?" (Hebrews 13:5-6) We don’t have to worry, when trouble comes our way, because we serve a God with a "Big" resume! If God has made a way before, if God has ever opened a door, if God has ever healed your body, because God woke you up this morning, there is no reason for God to be re-interviewed, because God Is Fai...

Hold On To Your Joy! The thief (Satan) will try to steal your joy, peace, your purpose for existence and most importantly the Word of God in you and will use anyone or anything against you. Be careful, know who the thief is, begin to walk in the Blessings of God and trust God to bring restoration to your life today! The thief does not come except to steal, to kill and to destroy. (John 10:10) The Joy Of God Is Our Strength! "Don't feel bad. The joy of God is your strength!" (Nehemiah 8:10) Satan wants us to be weak, which is the opposite of having joy and be open to temptation (attraction, appeal, persuasion) so when temptation comes, we will have no power to overcome it, but God's Plan for us is not only that we be strong and be full of peace, but that we have joy and full assurance that He will never leave nor forsake us! (Hebrews 13:5) In a nut shell, Satan wants to keep us in the dark, but we have to deliberately feed our minds with more of the Word Of God ...

The Lord will rescue you from every evil deed and bring you safely into His Heavenly Kingdom! To God be the glory forever and ever! Amen! (2 Timothy 4:18) God's children don't have to worry over evil that's against us or ahead of us, because we're covered by the Blood of Jesus Christ. Whether it's an attack on your body, your finances or your family, it may attack, but it will not attach! The Lord Rescues His Own! Trust Me in your times of trouble, and I will rescue you! (Psalm 50:15) The righteous person has many troubles, but the LORD rescues him from all of them! (Psalm 34:19) Every plot, plan or weapon that's formed against you, Will Not Work! The God we serve will bring us out, He will bring us through and He will get glory out of whatever we go through. Jesus Christ: gave Himself to rescue all of us!" (1 Timothy 2:5), but that means we need to admit that we need rescuing. It takes honesty and humility to admit our need and say like David, "I ...

Speak Life To Every Dry Place! Words kill, words give life; they're either poison or fruitful… (Proverbs 18:21) Speak to that rock that's right in front of you and it will give water! (Numbers 20:8) They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts; He made water flow for them from the rock; He split the rock and the water gushed out! (Isaiah 48:21 You Are Anointed To Speak It! A body that doesn't breathe is dead. In the same way faith that does nothing is dead! (James 2:26) Faith comes alive and active in our life, when we encounter real life situations, but we continue to stand on and speak the Word of God. We operate in faith, when we trust God before we see the light at the end of the tunnel, before we see healing, before God delivers us out of an unfortunate situation, etc... To live a life filled with the Blessings of God, we have to make our words agree with God's Word. When things don’t go our way, the bank account is low, the rent needs to be paid,...

The Vision Will Still Happen, At The Appointed Time! It hurries toward its goal. It won't be a lie. If it's delayed, wait for it. It will certainly happen. It Won't Be Late! (Habakkuk 2:3) Whether it’s one minute or one year, the waiting room or the delivery room, those who put their trust in God, will not be ashamed! No Matter The Minor Interruption, Keep Dreaming & Keep Believing In Great Expectation, For Your Major Victory! Don’t get discouraged because of what you may feel or because of what the situation in front of you looks like, but continue to press forward, because your best is not behind you, it's straight ahead! Nobody has to believe in your dream for it to live, but, if you give up on your dream, it will die. On today, give God everything that is in your heart, your dreams, your plans, your questions, your disappointments, your doubts and your fears. Choose to push past what you see and feel, so you can receive the Divine Greatness God has planned...
