Anyone Who Belongs To Christ Has Become A New Person. The Old Life Is Gone; A New Life Has Begun! (2 Corinthians 5:17) In order to be transformed into the new life God has promised, we must commit everything we do to the LORD, trust him and allow him to help us. (Psalm 37:5) As we commit our way to the Lord and trust Him in our everyday affairs of life, we experience the power of God’s supernatural and miraculous hand. I encourage you always speak in faith, walk in faith and ask the LORD to guide you daily into His will for you. All things do work together for those who are called according to his purpose! (Romans 8:28) “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) “What I said in the past has come true. I reveal new things before they happen!” (Isaiah 42:9 GWT) ~God Pray this prayer with me: Father, I ask that you will strengthen me to continue to be persistent to press ahead despite every difficulty...

Give All Your Worries And Cares To God, For He Cares For You! (1 Peter 5:7 NLT) Every day, you have to make a choice on whether or not you’re going to be in control of your life or God. There are things in our lives that human nature “flesh” wants to control. Human nature wants to make the rules, however a life of serenity starts by letting God be God. When we let God be God, we give God control, knowing he can control the things that are out of control in our lives. Life may not be where you want it to be at the moment or the way God is working it out may not be the way you would have done it, however, never forget we have a loving heavenly Father who is all powerful and desires the very best for his children. I encourage you to leave the outcome to God and then God's peace, which goes beyond anything you can imagine, will guard your thoughts and emotions through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7) “Let go of your concerns! Then you will know that I am God. I rule the nations. I rul...

Praying in Jesus’ name is so powerful, because it gives us unlimited access to our all-powerful (omnipotent) God! Jesus teaches his disciples and he speaks to us today in John 16:23-24 when he says, “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” There is power in the name of Jesus to break every chain, whether the chain is emotional, physical, spiritual, financial or relational. No matter how hard the difficulty or situation, I encourage you to approach God's throne of grace with confidence, tell God what you need and receive victory in Jesus’ Name! (Hebrews 4:16, Philippians 4:6) "I am the LORD God of all humanity. Nothing is too hard for me.” (Jeremiah 32:27 GWT) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, thank You for the power and provisions you have given to me by asking in Jesus’ Name. T...

I Will Lift Up My Eyes To The Hills—From Whence Comes My Help My Help Comes From The Lord, Who Made Heaven And Earth ! (Psalm 121:1-2 NKJV) Sometimes we need a reminder that the Lord is our helper, he is (all –powerful) omnipotent and he is the maker and creator of the universe. When life gets rough, it’s easy to let emotions take control. Whatever road life has you traveling, I encourage you to seek the LORD. There you will find God is in control, God is our place of safety, God gives us strength and God is always there to help us in time of trouble! (Psalm 46:1) “I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you!” (Isaiah 41:13) ~God Pray This Prayer With Me : Almighty and all wise God, I’m grateful that you’re greater than my trials, my fears and my struggles. Thank you for every promise, thank you for being reliable and I thank you that you are my God! I give you all the praise, honor and glory, in Jesus' name, amen....

In All Your Ways Submit To Him & He Will Make Your Paths Straight ! (Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV) Many times through frustration, heartache, delay and difficulty, we may not see how things will work out, 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, wait on His wisdom and allow him to lead and guide us. I encourage you to continue to trust God and believe God desires the very best for you, he will work things out for your good and he can do the impossible! (Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:28, Jeremiah 32:27) "I'm giving you my peace. I don't give you the kind of peace that the world gives. So don't be troubled or afraid!”(John 14:27) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, thank you for your everlasting promises you’ve given me. As I turn the page of yesterday, I place all trust in you, knowing you have my life in your control and you will work all things out for my good. I humbly pray,...

Blessed Are Those Who Trust In The LORD And Have Made The LORD Their Hope And Confidence ! (Psalm 34:8) When times get rough, things don’t work out as expected and promises are delayed, most people lower their expectations. As a result, they settle for less than God’s best for them. It’s during times of uncertainty when faith really matters. Most desire a fan club to rally around them while experiencing difficulty, however, your faith determines whether or not you receive what you believe for. (Matthew 21:21-22) The truth is, no one has to believe in you, but you do have to believe in yourself and believe God for yourself. I encourage you not to get discouraged and give up, but continue to press forward, knowing all things will work out for the good! (Romans 8:28) “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! (Jeremiah 29:11) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me: LORD, thank you for your...

All Things Are Possible For Everyone Who Believes ! (Mark 9:23) The message is simple, yet powerful, we can either choose to rely on the beliefs of limited natural abilities or we can make the choice to believe in the supernatural power of God. Physicians, judges, executives, government officials or whoever has decision making abilities that can influence our lives, can make their predictions, but we serve an almighty God who is omniscient (all-knowing), omnipresent (ever-present) and omnipotent (all-powerful)! (Matthew 28:18) I encourage you, no matter how unfavorable or dim your situation may look or feel, believe the report of the Lord! God’s Word To You : “That's why I tell you to have faith that you have already received whatever you pray for, and it will be yours!" (Mark 9:23 GWT) Pray this prayer with me : Father, empower me to take big leaps of faith and believe. I ask that you strengthen my heart and mind to believe. I humbly pray, in Jesus' name, amen.
