Forget The Past And Look Forward To What Lies Ahead ! (Philippians 3:13)   Forget The Former Things ! It is nothing compared to what I am going to do! I am going to do something new. It is already happening! (Isaiah 43:19) It is the expectation of God’s promises that keeps us focused on the future and this way we do not dwell too long on our past. Whatever you have battled and worked hard to overcome in your life, Satan will attempt to bring that exact same temptation, habit or behavioral tendency back into your life, hoping to drag you back to a past you're trying to forget and move pass. If you have a vision and your eyes are focused on a plan, Satan cannot do that. If you're not focused on something, you'll be easily distracted by everything. You can't change what happened to you. You can't change what you did. You made choices. You did things you wish you hadn't done, but that’s in your past. I challenge you to take this word of encouragement to heart tod...

Just Stand Still And Watch The Lord Rescue You Today ! (Exodus 14:13 GW) God Will Turn Everything Around For Your Good ! (Romans 8:28) Think about it. What past challenges has God brought you through? Has He ever healed your hurting heart? Or weakened body? Has He ever delivered you from fear, worry, anger or despair? Have you ever experienced His peace, joy, or strength? Well, if you said yes to any of the above, Don't Worry About Anything; Instead, Pray About Everything! Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done! (Philippians 4:6) By committing each day and every situation to the Lord, you’re saying, “God I trust You to go before me, to make my rough places smooth (Isaiah 45:2) and work everything out for my best! (Romans 8:28) God’s Word To You : “Be still, and know that I am God!” (Psalm 46:10) Pray this prayer with me : Father, I thank You that when people, places and things fail me, as a believer, I can always count on you, knowing You have the power to ...

“My Grace Is All You Need. My Power Works Best In [Your] Weakness!” (2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT) Great Is The Lord’s Faithfulness Towards Us! It is because of the Lord’s mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions fail not! (Lamentations 3:22 AMP) Whenever we’re facing difficult circumstances, one of the first things we should do is look in the rearview mirror of our lives. When we do, we will begin to see the many struggles God has brought us through past and present, He has provided for our needs, woke us up this morning and He continues to cover us with His love, mercy and grace each and every day. God has loved us, redeemed us, forgiven us and given us new and eternal life! (1 John 2:25, 5:11) No matter how much ... you fall short in life, God will never give up on you and God’s love for you is unfailing! God’s Word To You: “My Grace Is All You Need. My Power Works Best In Weakness!” (2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT) Pray this prayer with me: Than...

Don't Take Revenge, Dear Friends. Instead, Let God's Anger Take Care Of It! ( Romans 12:19 GW) 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, “Do not let yourself be overcome by evil, but overcome (master) evil with good.” In the Good News Translation, we read “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. (Isaiah 54:17) Make the choice today to walk in the spirit of an overcomer and live in victory! (John 16:33) God’s Word To You : "Vengeance is mine, I will repay," says the Lord!” (Romans 12:19) Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, I ask that You give me wisdom, discernment and favo...

The Prayer Of Faith Will Heal Him Who Is Sick And The Lord Will Raise Him Up ! If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent (heartfelt, earnest) prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective! (James 5:15-16) If We Ask Any Thing According To His Will, He Hears Us! (1 John 5:14) Our Father knows what we need before we ask Him ! (Matthew 6:8) Prayer is our connection with the omnipotent (all-powerful) creator of the universe! There is nothing and there will never be anyone or anything more powerful than our Lord! Christ invites us to pray believe and receive what we ask of Him! He’s willing & He’s able! All glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think! (Ephesians 3:20) God’s Word To You : “If you ask anything in My Name I will do it!” (John 14:14) Pray This Prayer With Me : Holy Spirit I ask You to help me pray correctly accordin...

You Win The Victory Over Satan, Because Of The Blood Of The Lamb And The Word Of Your Testimony ! (Revelation 12:11) It’s a good fight, because it’s a fixed fight! Christ Gives You The Victory! (1 Corinthians 15:57) In All Things You’re Triumphantly Victorious Due To The One Who Loved You ! (Romans 8:37) As long as we live, we’re going to experience situations in our lives that are difficult. God’s plan is for us to overcome our adversity with our faith! Satan will try to make it appear he has the upper hand, but Satan does not have power to destroy your marriage, your home, your health, your finances or to damage your emotions, because Satan’s power has been defeated by Jesus Christ! (Colossians 2:15) The devil (Satan) is a liar! (John 8:44) The truth is, as Jesus spoke to the disciples, He speaks to us today, “I have given you the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to destroy all the enemy's power and nothing will ever hurt you!” (Luke 10:19) Whatever your spiritu...

HE IS ABLE TO DO ABOVE & BEYOND ANYTHING WE CAN EVER ASK. THINK. IMAGINE ! (Ephesians 3:20) A.S.K [Ask, Seek, Knock] ASK and it will be given to you; SEEK and you will find; KNOCK and the door will be opened to you! (Matthew 7:7) God wants to work in you, not according to your own ability and power, but according to His! As you consider and meditate on who you are, what you have and what you can do in Christ, you will never exhaust the limitless ability and power of God that works within you, through you and for you! If you choose to limit yourself to doing only what you can do in your own natural ability, you will never fulfill the deepest desires of your heart. Make the choice to step into the realm of the “ABOVE & BEYOND” what God can do in you, through you and for you according to the power that works within you! (Ephesians 3:20) God’s Word To You : “You may ask me for anything in My name, and I will do it!” (John 14:14) Pray this prayer with me : Father, thank You...
