Words Kill, Words Give Life; They're Either Poison Or Fruitful—You Choose ! (Proverbs 18:21 MSG) The most essential characteristic of a Christian’s life is faith. Faith is not faith, until faith is at work in us, as the scripture explains in James 2:26, “A body that doesn't breathe is dead. In the same way faith that does nothing is dead.” Faith comes alive and active in our lives, when we encounter real life situations, but continue to stand in faith and speak the Word of God. Faith comes alive, when we trust and believe God for manifestation, even when we cannot see it! (Hebrews 11:1) Faith speaks to things which do not exist as though it can and will exist! (Romans 4:17)   As Christians, we’re not intimidated by test, trials or troubles in sight, because we walk by faith and not by sight! (2 Corinthians 5:7) I encourage you no matter what you’re facing to speak healing, harvest, restoration, deliverance, life, etc…, believing this is not your place of failure and defeat, but...

You Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens You! (Philippians 4:13) “All Things” that we do and celebrate comes from the struggles, test and trials of life. Only our actions towards these events determine our successes or failures. To say "all things" the importance is not on what "you or I can do," but it’s the Holy Spirit, Christ who lives in us! “All Things” can be accomplished if our reliance is on God who supplies everything we need to carry out His plan for our life. (Romans 8:28-29) I encourage you to motivate yourself, say “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!” Do not fear failure, think the best and not the worst and go in the strength of the LORD and in the power of His Might! (Ephesians 6:10) God’s Word To You: “My Grace Is Sufficient For You, My Power Is Made Perfect In Weakness!" (2 Corinthians 12:9) Pray This Prayer With Me: LORD, I ask you to strengthen me, strengthen my faith and release your power, as I walk ...

Let Us Not Be Weary In Well Doing: For In Due Season We Shall Reap, If We Faint Not ! (Galatians 6:9) Life as a Christian involves overcoming obstacles, rising above situations and facing challenges successfully. Challenges are part of life and they are to be expected, but they are not meant to break us but to build us and prepare us for greatness and increase. The word “due” in Galatians 6:9 means “it is owed to you.” Just like if you work on a public job, at the end of the week your employer owes you for the work you’ve done. It’s your Due Season! I encourage you not to look at the circumstances surrounding, but focus on God and celebrate, and if no one shows up to celebrate with you, celebrate by yourself, because you’re the one that is getting ready to be rewarded for your faithfulness! God’s Word To You: "The mountains may move and the hills may shake, but My love and faithfulness will never depart from you!" (Isaiah 54:10) Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, tod...

We Win Victory Over Satan By The Blood Of The Lamb & Our Testimony ! (Revelation 12:11) We all experience difficult situations, difficult days and days of uncertainty, however, those are the moments we must determine within ourselves to fight the good fight of faith and never give up. (1 Timothy 6:12) Satan will try to make it look like he has the upper hand, but despite anything Satan throws your way to try and destroy your home, your health, your finances, etc…, overwhelming victory is yours through Christ who loves you! (Romans 8:37) You may be going through a testing period now and yes the power of Jesus’ blood is applied on your life, however, what you do determines your testimony! I encourage you not to give up on the fight of faith. It will all work out for your good! (Romans 8:28) God’s Word To You : “In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties, but take heart, I’ve conquered the world!” (John 16:33 MSG) Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, thank...

God Is Able To Do Far More Abundantly All That We Ask Or Think, According To The Power At Work Within Us ! (Ephesians 3:20) This scripture teaches us how to maximize the power of God by asking in faith and our thought pattern. If we constantly think thoughts of misery and selfishness, we’ll experience a long road before we reach happiness and prosperity. There’s only one way out.  Proverbs 23:7 teaches, “Whatever we think in our hearts, we become.” The way we maximize the power of God, we must first change our thought pattern.  I encourage you to consider and meditate on what you can do in Christ and experience the never exhausted limitless ability and power of God that works within you, through you and for you! God’s Word To You : "I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Nothing is too hard for me!” Pray This Prayer With Me : LORD, I thank you for being an ever-present God, almighty, everlasting God and a forever faithful God. I ask for your strength, as I live in faith ea...

Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not promised, so today is all we’ve got. Yesterday was for learning and choices, and tomorrow will be the consequences of what we do today. Today you can invest your most valuable resource and that’s TIME. Every day is a good day, because it’s a day of new grace, mercy and love from our heavenly Father! (Lamentations 3:22-23) Today you can begin again! I encourage you to take a moment and truly think about who created this day and everything in this day, and rejoice and be glad in God’s wonderful gift to you! God’s Word To You: “Rejoice and be glad, because you have a great reward in heaven!” (Matthew 5:12) Pray This Prayer With Me: LORD, thank you for this day of learning, choices, new grace, mercy and love! As I cherish this day you have purposed for me, I pray that my life brings you glory and honor. I humbly pray, in Jesus' name, amen. Have a great day! Never forget, in all circumstances, God loves you and you are extremely valuable and import...

The LORD Rewards Everyone For Their Righteousness And Faithfulness! (1 Samuel 26:23) Jesus encourages us when He tells us in Matthew 6:33, “Stop looking at all that threatens you and focus on God. Do not look for a way out of difficulty and challenge, but seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and God will give you everything you need!” I believe this is the season the LORD is and will bless His children in abundance like we’ve never seen or heard before! (1 Corinthians 2:9) I encourage you to make the choice daily to align and position yourself to receive the blessings God has reserved for faithful and the righteous. You’ve come too far, so don’t get weary now, your harvest is near, at every turn there will be another blessing from God and it will come in many forms. It will seem as if you are a magnet for the blessings and promises of God! (Galatians 6:9, Deuteronomy 28) God’s Word To You: “I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not aba...
