God Planned Good To Come Out Of This ! [Satan] planned evil to harm you, but God planned good to come out of this! (Genesis 50:20) Believe & You Will See The Goodness Of The Lord! (Psalm 27:13 NKJV) We all face life’s challenges daily, but despite so many bad situations we encounter, God promises to work things out for our good according to His plan! (Romans 8:28) In this verse, “all things” means all things: the good, the bad, the unpleasant, the ugly etc… There are things in our life we don’t understand, but God has a way to bring good out of a bad situation. Now, it does not mean that all things are from God or that bad becomes good, because bad is bad, but it does mean that God can bring good despite bad. It is important you remember that God is not behind anything bad or ugly, so when those things do happen, you can stand in faith and believe God will make all things work together for your good! Something good is going to happen for you! God’s Word To You : “I know the...

Run The Race That Lies Ahead Of You And Never Give Up! Since we are surrounded by so many examples [of faith], we must get rid of everything that slows us down, especially sin that distracts us. We must run the race that lies ahead and never give up! (Hebrews 12:1 GWT) Do Not Be Agitated By Evildoers ! Do not envy those who do wicked things. They will quickly dry up like grass and wither away like green plants. (Psalm 37:1-2) Today’s message is simple: Romans 12:21 In the Amplified Bible says, “21 Do not let yourself be overcome by evil, but overcome (master) evil with good.” In the Good News Translation, we read “21 Do not let evil defeat you; instead, conquer evil with good.” My point is: It’s a lot easier to make the right choice in life God has offered for future victory and never give up doing good, rather than focus on evil weapons that are against you. Although [evil] weapons are formed against God’s children, they will not prosper! (Isaiah 54:17) Make the choice today to wa...

God Is Your Personal Bravery, Your Invincible Army ! (Habakkuk 3:19 AMP) Receive Power From The Lord And From His Mighty Strength ! (Ephesians 6:10) God’s power is at work in you! By His power He can do much more than you can ask, think or imagine! (Ephesians 3:20) During times of difficulty, we need to remind ourselves: God is more than capable to provide what we need when we need it most. Our God is a strong and a mighty warrior and the Lord of armies and of heaven who fights for His children! As blood bought children of God, we don’t give up, but we succeed in all that we do, because He who is with us and in us is greater than anything we face in this world! (Psalm 24:8, Galatians 6:9, Proverbs 16:3, 1 John 4:4) There is an unlimited greatness of God’s power for all who will believe! (Ephesians 1:19) God’s Word To You : “I am your God! I will strengthen you! I will help you!” (Isaiah 41:10) Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, I depend less on me and more on You, because I ne...

Be Strong & Courageous ! Don't be fearful or discouraged, because the LORD your God is with you wherever [whatever] you go [through]! (Joshua 1:9) Face Every Day With Courage & Strength ! As God commanded Joshua to be strong and courageous, He instructs us as His children to do the same. We should approach each day with courage and strength, because we know God is always with us. (Deuteronomy 31:6) Although we encounter circumstances that seem impossible to overcome, we can rest assured that God has not left us, God has not disowned us and God will be there for us every day in every way! God’s Word To You : “Don't be afraid, because I am with you. Don't be intimidated; I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will support you with my victorious right hand!” (Isaiah 41:10) Pray this prayer with me : Father, because of Your almighty presence, all-powerful and awesomeness, I’m safe wherever I am! In spite of my situation, I will trust You and I...

Satan Has Already Been Defeated ! God Has Overcame The World And Deprived It Of The Power To Harm You And Has Conquered It For You! (John 16:33 Amp) You’re An Overcomer , because you are of God you belong to Him and have already defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He w ho lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world! (1 John 4:4) In order for you to walk in God’s preplanned best for your life, you must understand this powerful truth: Satan has no power in the life of a believer, unless we allow and empower him. Satan knows your thoughts and words control your destiny, so he uses deception to get you to believe his thoughts and speak his words that are out of line with God’s Word, but are in line with his [Satan’s] plan to bring harm and destruction. As believers, we have been redeemed by God and we are sons and daughters of God and in all things overwhelming victory is ours through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior who loved us! ...

You’re Blessed & Highly Favored! God Is Able To Make Every Grace Overflow To You, So That In Every Way, Always Having Everything You Need, You May Excel In Every Good Work! (2 Corinthians 9:8) God’s Grace Is Abundant For You ! (2 Corinthians 12:9) As born again believers, we encounter unfortunate events in life, but we must always remember we serve an almighty God that has overcame everything in this world and has all victory and power! (John 16:33) As we trust Him through hard times, we through Christ, receive strength and victory! (Philippians 4:13) If the storms in life seem they are at their strongest, full of chaos and uncertainty, trust God for a greater blessing and an overflow of abundant grace! God is getting ready to bless you far above all you are able to ask, think or imagine! (Ephesians 3:20) God’s Word To You : “I know the plans that I have for you, declares the LORD. They are plans for peace and not disaster, plans to give you a future filled with hope!” (Jeremi...

O Lord, Like A Large Shield, You Surround Me With Your Favor! (Psalm 5:12 GWT) You, O LORD, Are A Shield Around Me; You Are My Glory, The One Who Holds My Head High! (Psalm 3:3 NLT) 2 Peter 1:2 tells us, grace and peace is ours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord! Through Jesus’ one sacrifice at the cross, God removed all your sins, gave you His righteousness as a gift and put you in Christ to enjoy everything Jesus has! Undeserved favor and the peace of God does not come by you working or struggling to earn it, but it comes as your knowledge and belief of Jesus and His finished work increases. When you walk in divine favor and peace, you will walk in blessings in every area of your life! You don’t have to struggle for favor! Just release it by speaking forth God’s Word in faith. On your way to work or school, before you step out of your door say, “God’s favor surrounds me like a shield!” (Psalm 5:12) As you continue to speak God’s favor over your life...
