Forget What Is Behind And Strain Toward What Is Ahead! (Philippians 3:14) As the children of Israel faced the Red Sea with nowhere to go in Exodus 14, in our very own lives we too will have those Red Sea moments, where we feel stuck and defeated, with nowhere to go. As we continue to read in Exodus 14, we see God made away for them to make it over to dry land and as God made a way for them, God will make a way for you too! I encourage you today not to give in to the conditions surrounding you, however, take the time through spiritual discipline to see the advantage God has given you. Walk in your destiny, through and on the other side of your Read Sea, there is greater peace, greater favor and a fresh and greater anointing! God’s Word To You: “Forget what happened in the past and do not dwell on events from long ago. I Am Going To Do Something New” (Isaiah 43:18-19) Pray This Prayer With Me: LORD, I ask you to strengthen me to continue to endure and to press ahead, in spite of ...

Look To Jesus The Author & Finisher Our Faith! (Hebrews 12:2 NLT) When life suddenly change course down an unexpected path, our fleshly man wonders, “Lord, How are you going to heal this, how will a testimony come out of this or will I ever see a brighter day?” Flesh tries to find a way out of discomfort, however weak flesh is, the spirit is willing and recognizes victory is impossible apart from God. I encourage you no matter the struggle or circumstances surrounding, fight the good fight of faith, endure hardness as a good soldier and keep your eyes of God. You will have the testimony, “God kept me in the midst of it all and increased my anointing too!” God’s Word To You: “I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you!” (Joshua 1:5 NIV) Pray this prayer with me: Father, thank you for the plans you have for my future. Strengthen me, as I live a life of faith each day and my purpose for living, so that my life will bring you glory. I humbly pray, in Jesus' n...

The LORD Himself Goes Before You And Will Be With You; He Will Never Leave You Nor Forsake You. Do Not Be Afraid; Do Not Be Discouraged ! (Deuteronomy 31:8) Everyone faces life’s challenges, however bad, God promises to work all things out for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose! (Romans 8:28) I encourage you to continue to stand in faith, believe God loves you and believe God’s plans are to prosper you and give you hope for your future! (Jeremiah 29:11) God’s Word To You : “When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end—because I am God, the Holy one of Israel, your Savior.” (Isaiah 43:2 MSG) Pray this prayer with me : LORD, I ask that you strengthen me each day, as I live a life of faith and the life you’ve purposed me to live.

The Faithful Love Of The LORD Never Ends! His mercies never cease! Great is God’s faithfulness; His mercies are new every morning! (Lamentations 3:22-23) When experiencing difficulty, many times we may not understand God's ways. However, during those moments we must focus on God’s perfect knowledge, wisdom and power and take comfort in knowing—there is no failure in God! God loves you more than you can imagine and cares about what’s going on in your life. No matter the circumstance, no matter the diagnoses, no matter the financial distress, you can rest and be fully persuaded—if you have the faith, God has the power to do what He had promised!

My promise of peace will never change!" (Isaiah 54:1...

When “You’re” Weak, Then “You’re” Strong ! (2 Corinthians 12:10) Society tells us that self-sufficiency is one of the greatest goals we could ever achieve, however, Christ says, “If you’re weak, you will find strength in Me!” (2 Corinthians 12:9) “Christ also tells us, “Do not rely on your own understanding, but trust Me to direct your paths and I’ll make your paths smooth!” (Proverbs 3:5 GWT) When we turn to God in weakness, His Spirit helps us! (Romans 8:26) Today I encourage you to be strong in the LORD and the power of His might and walk in the power of God you were predestined to be! (Ephesians 6:10, Jeremiah 1:5) God’s Word To You : "My Grace is all you need. My Power is strongest, when you are weak!" (2 Corinthians 12:9) Pray this prayer with me : Father, during times of difficulty and uncertainty, I ask you to be my strength and guide. On today and forever, may I continue to walk in the power and the victory you have preordained for me! I humbly pray, in Jesus...

No One Who Waits For God Will Ever Be Put To Shame! (Psalm 25:3) Waiting for God’s timing is never wasted time, it’s important in the growing of our faith! We’re enlarged spiritually, strongly and mentally while waiting. (Isaiah 40:31) We at times cannot see the big picture or “the forest for the trees,” because while waiting in faith our sight is limited. (Hebrews 11:1) This makes even more of a reason to place all hope and trust in God and wait on His wisdom and will to lead us and guide us. God sees the big picture, a greater blessing we often try to avoid, because it’s disguised in trouble and hardship. (Job 42:10) Although it was intended for your bad, God will turn it in your favor! (Genesis 50:20) God’s Word To You: “Never worry about anything, but in every situation let Me know what you need in prayers and requests while giving thanks. Then My peace, which goes beyond anything you can imagine, will guard your thoughts and emotions!” (Philippians 4:6-7) I am the LORD! If ...

Great Is God’s Faithfulness Towards Us! The Faithful Love Of The LORD Never Ends! His mercies never cease! They are new every morning! (Lamentations 3:22-23) Our heavenly Father’s love for us is bigger and stronger than any financial difficulty, relationship difficulty, health concern, anything… When God’s heart of love moves on behalf of His children, He opens doors that no one can shut and He makes ways when there seems to be no way! We’re More Than Conquerors Through Christ Who Loved Us! (Romans 8:37) God’s Word To You: “I'm with you; don't be anxious, because I am your God. I keep on strengthening you; I'm truly helping you. I'm surely upholding you with my victorious right hand!" (Isaiah 41:10 ISV) Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, I thank You that Your love for me is more powerful than anything in creation, past, present or future! I trust that You are faithful to every promise and for that reason my faith is in You alone. I humbly pray, in Jesus' ...
